Hotdogs for 30g! 🌭 :0

The royal scientist is known for shady experiments she performs and deadly machines she builds and controls.

Only a few of those ordered to be transported to the lab came back. The sick are never seen again and the guards return… different. Monsters who live in Hotland and the capital heard of the reason for those transformations and disappearances, "determination". Something withing the souls of the fallen that allows them to persist after death once injected into monsters makes them fearless and more difficult to kill. At first the determination experiments and their side effects were kept secret, but once the royal scientist saw the potential for protection of monsterkind being silent about it became impractical.

Yet the creation of soldiers is not the only use of determination, as it seems to be able to give the will to live to things that never lived to begin with. Alphys the royal scientist found a way around the difficult engineering process, using monster dust, determination and ghosts' ability to posses objects to create machines that prevent fallen attacks and resident monsters from escaping their designated location.

The first machine that got Alphys her position was a "robot with a soul" that now calls himself Mettathew. While after his creation he went against the underground's status quo, joining the golden flower as it's right hand man as a propagandist, Alphys still keeps upgrading his body into an effective fallen eradication device.

Now Mettathew provides entertainment to the monsterkind. Most see him as a distraction from the "real" problems like a potential new fallen, the other few consider him an oracle of the golden flower that will eventually free monsters.
