About Kris in A Weirder Route

Fangames and AUs

So AWR is the player being able to keep the Vessel, right? So the question is, then, what happens to Kris? And how am I going to make several parts of the game work, if Kris is no longer our unwilling vessel?

First, Echo is staying with the Dreemurs.

Second, Kris is in the computer lab Dark World, and when the party splits up, Kris and Noelle go together while Echo goes with the Fun Gang. Kris and Echo don't like each other at this point, but they work together on Noelle's behalf.

Third, Kris is Tenna's unwilling co-host in ch 3, and they try to stop the Fun Gang, but Echo convinces them to let the fun Gang go.

Fourth, in the bit in Noelle's house, Kris and Echo have a very Friendly talk in the storage room (the place with the boxes), and Echo tells Kris that they Know and Kris realizes that Echo might be able to save Dess, so they sort of become allies.

Fifth, they show up a bunch in the First and a bit in the Third sanctuaries.

Sixth, Kris in this timeline is less friends with Ralsei and Susie and stuff, and their character arc is mostly around rebelling against the Knight, and working through their grief over the family breaking up / Dess disappearing.

They are a VERY important character, even if they dont have the SOUL.

I was wondering what would Kris was up to while Echo and co went about the dark worlds

3

yep, they're still around in a lot of the dark worlds. I have a bunch of ideas, especially for the piano scene in ch4 and the undodgeable swords corridor in ch4 as well.

and Echo and Kris arent friends, but they're allies because their goals align in some cases (protecting Noelle, saving/finding Dess)

4

Imagine Echo sits at the piano, plays the first 4 notes of Megalovania, then Kris shoves them out of the way and plays Piano that may not be played that well

(you have permission to steal this idea btw)

5

yeah, that sounds like Echo tbh

6

though in all seriousness, Echo lets Kris play instead of them, saying that they're not very good at piano, and they quit taking piano lessons a while ago, and that Kris should play instead.

7

Awwww that's sweet

8

and later in the undodgeable sword corridor, Echo and the gang are all hiding behind one block, (they were using Rouxls' puzzle blocks as shields) and it breaks, and they're about to get hit by the swords when Kris shows up and parries the sword, even though they're acting against the Knight, which they're not supposed to be

9

See, Echo is mostly funny, but deep down they just want to see everybody happy, because it makes them feel better, since they're still healing from their own struggles.

10

Didn't the phone say that Kris can't enter a Dark World without a SOUL?

11

They said Kris doesn't have THE SOUL not that Kris doesn't have A SOUL.

12

I’ll go steal their SOUL then.

13

Yeah But... kris has their normal soul in this au so i think they can still enter dark worlds

14

What is the importance of the scene though if Kris has their own SOUL and can still enter without us for that reason? This would either be foreshadowing by Toby that Kris will lose their SOUL and permanently need ours or Kris likely doesn't have their own SOUL.

15

well this is my AU, and in this AU, actaly, the phone conversation doesn't happen because what would have been the vents segment is actually Kris and Echo negotiating in the storage closet

16

Regardless of if the phone call happens or not, whatever was meant by it still applies.

17

I'm just gonna say "this is an au" and therefore absolve myself of any plot holes

18

I mean if it works, it works

19

Also I just really want to draw Kris wearing like a Kris sized version of Tenna's outfit and looking like they want to stab Tenna, while Tenna is obliviously yapping about his show, and i kind of need Kris in the dark worlds for the Plot

20

So will you end up making art for scenes of the AU or are you just gonna leave what the scenes look like up to our interpretation?

Because I'd love to see Echo, Susie, Ralsei, Lancer, King, Rouxls and Various Other Guys all stuck in a tree
