Description
A random collection of Undertale events I was in the mood to translate. Not too accurately, but I have no regrets.

I also think I've figured out most of the names now, as I've said I wanted them to have normal people names.
Like "Frisk". A name that's been in the top charts for at least 200 years. We're all calling our babies "Frisk". Some of our most famous celebrities are named "Frisk".
Friskey Spears. Frisk Eastwood. Frisk Sinatra. Toby Frisk.

And Chara.
Chara Sheen. Charamander. Charameleon. Charazard.
I know people have their own way of pronouncing the name, so these jokes won't make sense to everyone.

I know Frisk, as for Chara, can be any gender we want, that's the whole purpose of all the "they" and "them"-ing in the game, but can any of us really claim "Frisk" is a girl's name. Or a name at all. Wouldn't a more recognizable and gender neutral name be better to keep alive the illusion of personal gender assignment, like "Sam", "Alex", or whatever foreign name qualifies as gender neutral.

Anyway:

I didn't really want to change Frisk's name, but well, I turned the kid into a skeleton, so perhaps a font name would be more suitable. "Fixedsys". You know what kind of font that is.

Fixedsys is a skeleton child who managed to climb out of Mount Ebott through the hole in the ruins as an attempt to escape, as logically there shouldn't be a barrier if humans can just keep falling through.
As a monster, fighting the humans is hardly an option, but I'd imagine it using its skeleton charms and then wrecking its friends with its bone-related magic when they're not paying attention. If we were to translate the genocide run here.
Fixedsys is also one of those rare monsters who have "determination".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just like Frisk, didn't want to change Chara's name, but Chara's also a skeleton now. So, "Chiller"? Thankfully fitting.

Chiller was a kept secret and "adoptive child" of the president and his wife back in the old days. Nobody knew of its existence, except the family that adopted it, of course.
One day Chiller wanted to take the risk of killing itself to see if its human brother could absorb its soul, since that's something monsters wonder about underground, and assuming Chiller a monster boss, after succeeding, it wanted to take over its brother's body in order to become the most powerful monster/human alive and destroy the world with its new "human strength".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toriel is, while I first presented the names "Victoria" and "Torianna", now "Talia". It fits more than Victoria and is more common than Torianna. I'm not going with names like "Tory" and "Tori", as I believe that's what Asgore used to call her to be cute.

Talia is the resident of a secluded mountain village on Mount Ebott, and had been for many years. But her decision to live there isn't random; as she is one of the few humans who knows about the monsters being trapped inside and she devoted her life to protecting them. Mainly from her husband, who once announced to her his plan to erase the mountain and kill all the monsters. As long she lives there, she knows he won't go through with this plan.
The village is surrounded by a strong, oak fence. People cannot just leave or get in.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Asgore. Al...Gore. "Al Gore the president", and I'm fine with this decision.

Al Gore has been the re-elected president of.. America for a long time, and in general is a people-pleaser. But after the corpse of his son was found near Mount Ebott, he blamed the dead Chiller and all monsters, and wanted to dynamite the entire mountain out of existence. This urged his wife Talia to leave him for good.
While he still bears his out-of-place resentment for monsters, Talia's presence at the mountain makes him hesitant to go through with his plan. And her lack of presence at home doubt himself.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Asriel is a bit difficult, as it's hard to combine the names I've just given Toriel and Asgore and turn it into a real name. "Aliard"? Not what I'd consider a common name, but there's not much to work with.

Once upon a time Aliard found an exhausted Chiller near Mount Ebott, and clueless as he was, took the thing home with him. Nevertheless, his parents grew to like it as well and decided to care for it. While they weren't allowed to leave the house, because "walking skeleton friend" and cameras everywhere, the two brothers were keeping each other entertained, until Chiller decided to poison himself and suggested a complicated plan to Aliard, all with the supposed intention of wanting to become one with him and go back to the underground to free its fellow monsters with their combined powers.

Aliard got attacked by the monsters, as is customary when you're a human entering the underground, and while the absorbed Chiller wanted him to fight back, he just exited the mountain and eventually died on a patch of golden flowers, for the authorities to find.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Papyrus is still granted his three birth-names, "Pat Piers Russel", but people should just call him "Pat" at all times, because seriously.

Pat is a low-ranking police officer who wishes to be accepted into the FBI. And he wears part of the costume his brother once made for him over his uniform, because he has no standards. Except. He considers that standards.
Pat is an incompetent officer, but at the same time strangely devoted. He thinks his job is important and that he should be treated with respect; if he starts writing you a ticket, nothing will convince him to stop, but he's never been able to detain or harm a (serious) criminal, as he thinks every bad person deserves to better themselves on the spot and avoid jail. Which is just great. For the criminal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sans is still named "Stan". It was either that or "Sam", but he looks more like a Stan to me, and I believe the addition of a "t" in his name connects him to his brother, which is needed, because those two look way too different for their own good.

Stan is also with the police force, but never cares to wear his uniform or take his job seriously. While he's a lazy and stubby gentleman, he is insanely fast and agile; if we want to make sense out of Sans' transportation ability here. Concerning his jokes. They are. Human related? Stan might be delightfully racist. Or maybe it's just about bodyparts. I'm not yet sure about this, but the jokes should be bad either way.

Stan is one of the very few humans on Earth who has "determination" without having to be in contact with monsters for it to activate, which means he's been able to rewind and change time ever since he was born. But even from an early age he understood that changing fate was not always better; it's what all those science fiction movies taught him, so he never experimented with this gift. He has never killed a friend for fun, or rewinded time to give someone a better answer to their question. But he rewinded alot in order to give him more time to watch a movie or sleep, so in theory Stan lived longer than anyone else, which explains his lazy personality and "nothing matters" beliefs, a defeated view he tries to keep hidden from his clueless surroundings with a cute smile.

When Fixedsys shows up, he can no longer use his gift anymore, but he flawlessly recognizes that Fixedsys has it, when it used it, and for what purpose.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flowey is still named "Florence".

Florence is the unintentional clone of the late Aliard. He was meant to be an experiment seeing if human life could be created out of any living thing, in Florence's case, a flower. The experiment was extremely unbelievable, but succeeded because the flower used came from the same patch where Aliard had died, and as Aliard had absorbed Chiller's soul, the flower did not only have Aliard's DNA on it, but also monster magic; allowing this strange combination of a dead child and a flower to exist.
But a flower has no soul, and neither does Florence.

While neither Chiller or Aliard had "determination" in their past lives, or when fused together, Florence does. It's in every way similar to Stan's abilities, and he continuously used it to find personal happiness. Stan was immediately aware of Florence's gift and his quest, but decided not to stop him or let him know he knew. It proved "harmless" and equally "pointless", as Florence kept undoing everything in order to get different outcomes. But even though it appeared like the uncontrollable Florence was left to mess about like a hungry lion roaming the streets, Stan was always one step ahead of him to prevent harm to the people close to him, all without using his own gift and thus not making Florence suspicious of him. Just irritated by him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Undyne was also a bit difficult, but I decided to cheat the game once more by making "Dyne" her last name, and just call her "An". As long eveyone goes around calling her "miss An Dyne", it works.

An Dyne is the head of the FBI. Despite her being with the FBI, she didn't know of the existence of monsters until Fixedsys showed up, and she has been chasing it ever since. Not because she knows it's dangerous, but because the president told her so.

Together with Stan, she too has "determination", but her gift works differently. It's mostly manifested through her personality, making her undiscourageable till the end, and when she gets killed, it's like she gets a second chance. Because her gift is so subtle, An Dyne is not really aware she has a gift at all, and most would call her strong or lucky, if anything else.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alphys is "Alice", I don't know.

Alice, just like Alphys, is a horrible person. Let's be honest here. As I was thinking about how to translate her story, I came to the conclusion I don't like Alphys. What she did is not alright, and she shouldn't have been forgiven like that. This woman did some screwed up things, really badly, but where she officially went wrong is when she decided to cover it up. She imprisoned the suffering bodies of reanimated monsters under her laboratory and she created the villain of the story, and did not inform anyone after the thing escaped, for Pete's sake.

Alice has been tampering with dying people, trying to cheat death, turning them into suffering Frankenstein monsters. In the meantime, she wanted to make a human being from a flower. Blame those animes she's been watching.
