HYDE Alt 2022 - Dark Lord Kris
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon
Explanation: For an explanation of HYDE Alt, please see this post. As for this version of Kris, I planned to integrate aspects of Deltarune given that the original Glitchtale Alternate had Jevil as a main character. As an aside, I do have plans to reuse this concept in part in ULTRAMagic Alternate as of me typing this.

So things have been going pretty strangely for Kris and company. Kris, Susie, Ralsei, and Jevil had to go universe hopping to catch Spamton G. Spamton after he made a break for it in the wake of the Spamton NEO battle. Spamton hopped over to the neighboring light universe and then traveled around to several other nearby universes. The last universe he stopped in was a bizarre, somewhat forbidden universe with a lot of mages. Despite the group's presence being welcome, the ruler of the land they landed in was very helpful. She assisted the group in catching Spamton, allowing Jevil to send him back to their universe. Naturally the group was allowed to stay and rest up a bit. Of course the ruler noticed Kris was on edge and asked him what was the matter. Kris was always excessively uneasy around Spamton. Kris was in control of his destiny... r-right? Why did it always feel like someone was manipulating him behind the scenes? The ruler took pity on the poor boy as she knew just what he needed: Control. For better or for worse, she taught the boy a spell that could be used to claim the power of a roaring titan from his universe. How did she know? Let's just say she had been starting to look into other universes at this point. She had also been dealing with similar entities.
Of course there is the concern that Kris would technically become one of the roaring titans, but nothing ventured nothing gained. Kris went to Jevil in secret and the two sought out one of the weaker titans. Jevil thought this was a fool's errand that would end in disaster, but Kris was determined to see this out. They would enter a gap in reality where the sleeping body of a titan lay. This realm twisted and warped with no rhyme or reason. Of course Kris was awed by the sight of the grotesque and unfathomable titan. What scared Jevil was that the Titan was aware of their presence, but did nothing. Could it do anything? Or had it accepted its fate as Kris prepared the spell? Or maybe it something planned... After finishing the ritual, things went silent... but then the titan opened its mouth and torrent of darkness hit Kris head on. A abhorrent roaring filled the eldritch chamber as Kris screamed in pain. Incoherent chanting could then be heard as the titan spoke in a thundering voice...
O' mighty Knight, seeker of the power most forbidden,
Why does thou break from the flow of destiny?
If it is control you desire, you are a fool who cannot see.
This burden shall be yours to bear, and this crop you shall reap.
I shall always be in your shadow, watching your every move.
You take what is not yours, so it's only fair for me to be your sword.
Beware when looking into the abyss, Kris, for it may look back at you!
7 lines? 7 fountains? 7 titans perhaps? Jevil pondered on this as Kris fell to the ground, now clad in strange, new clothes. A sword had also appeared beside him, presumably the titan. Of course the titan's body was now stone which was to be expected. As Kris came to, he felt himself slipping out of the gap and back into reality. He was greeted by two things: one was Jevil and the other was a castle behind his house. It was his castle, a castle befitting of a dark lord. As he went to his throne and sat down, a new face brought him a fancy glass, filled with fruit punch. This was the avatar of the titan, of course. What thrilled Kris was that now Ralsei and Lancer could step out of the dark world and into the light world. Susie and Lancer thought this was awesome... Ralsei nearly had an aneurysm until Jevil calmed him down. Then Ralsei noticed something odd: the power of the titan was eerily similar to ancient power he had heard of called "ULTRAMagic." Jevil had picked up on this too and they knew that they had to do more research into this. Of course, Jevil knew where to find some ULTRAMagic mages they could talk to...
Kris may be a dark lord now, but not much has changed. He is stronger and does have a nice castle, but that's it. It's not like he holds any political authority or anything like that. Of course, Kris is intoxicated with the peace of mind this has given him. No one controls him now... or so he thinks. Regardless, he has new powers now. Before Kris was blessed with the ability to command and lead his allies. Now he can commune with other realms such as Hell, Heaven, and Purgatory. And of course, Kris has easier access to soul magic. It should be noted that the soul magic seems to be that of the titan's, not kris'. To use this magic, Kris must use his new sword as a catalyst. This isn't difficult as the titan seems to be oddly helpful. The cooperation of the titan has truly baffled Ralsei who is growing more and more concerned as time goes on.
King Spade has taken a great interest in Kris, given his new powers. Of course Kris needs training and the king is more than happy to train him for some reason. Of course Lancer and Queen are rightfully concerned.
As an aside, let's go over Light and Dark universes. The concept of balance permeates all of reality. You cannot darkness without light and you cannot have order without chaos. Oddly this logic applies to the creation of universes. There is what we call a light and dark universe. This strange situation seems to exist for the sake of balance. Aside from residents of these universes taking different life paths, there's not much difference between the two. It should be noted, however, that the residents of each universe can tell the difference between each other, if they have no idea what the difference is. Also these two universes will always be linked together and will drift through the multiverse as such. Kris, Susie, and Ralsei hail from the dark universe.
11/6/2022 update: in case you're wondering what gender this Kris is, he is a guy. Please note that my personal canon leans heavily into Multiverse theory, so there are other universes and timelines where Kris is female or non-binary. The same goes for Frisk and Chara... The Multiverse bit.

Sorry, but I do not have 7 years to wait for Toby to finish all of the chapters to Deltarune. I am going to take a few artistic liberties on this one. Also I've been meaning to draw Kris for sometime now. And who knows, maybe this is relevant to HYPERDEATH Alternate... (cough). Roaring Titans? Potential Eldritch abominations? Yes please, if I do say so myself. When you combine "roaring" with unfathomable entities of immense power that can end the world, you immediately peak my interest. I have a feeling Deltarune is going to get very interesting as time goes on... now if we could just get the chapters in a timely manner. I know you can't rush perfection, but still...
Which Titan did Kris and Jevil encounter? One of the smaller, slender ones. Obviously it was one of the weaker ones. Was he supposed to be rhyming? No, the quirk was seven lines. If he's in his titan and breaks this speaking pattern, something is wrong.
So yeah, this was a very experimental drawing. I suck at drawing people sitting. I did try to do more with the shading this time around. What inspired the look was some Halloween Deltarune art I saw on Twitter. I knew I had to experiment with Kris' colors with this concept. Getting a series of purples that was in the vein of Kris' blues was a pain, but I managed. Yes, coloring this was a blast.
