Undertale spoilers ahead! Only read ahead if you have played Undertale first!

Reddit /r/dwarffortress link

Just for the record, I did not create this. I am only posting it here because I noticed that it wasn't posted here and I think it is really good. All credit goes to /u/fireork12.

What is The Kills of Chara?
It's a Genocide run of a Dwarf Fortress adventure mode world mixed with an Undertale AU. The run focuses around two Undertale characters, Asriel and Chara. The run itself is told throughout Chara's perspective who tells this to an unnamed partner.

So why did you post it here?
It's extremely well done, the creator of the run has done a lot of things in-character and notably managed to get the character representing Chara all the notable kills, while their companion (Asriel) gains zero notable kills. It does this whilst still keeping intact the Dwarf Fortress style of documenting things. Furthermore lineart is done in various images on the run.
In terms of quality I would personally (my opinion, so yours might differ!) class it around the same level of quality of epics like Roomcarnage.

don't take the above seriously. This is actually a pretty helpful group of people. Welcome to the insane asylum.

My Hi-Octane crazy blood pumping! :D Planning to do something similar in DF in terms of massacres and genocides.

Hardcore zero-shits-given material right there!

Gotta love how freaked out the Undertale community got in contrast to the DF fans. For them, when someone goes and tries to wipe out civilization as we know it, it's terrifying. For us, it's inevitable.

I want to tell you they were bad men, cephalo.  I want to tell you that with a better overseer the Fortress never would've gotten so bad someone would get offed in a pointless fisticuffs.
But the sad truth charlie?
It was inevitable.

It's really interesting to approach this from both perspectives...

As Undertale True Pacifist, I was just sick to my stomach.

As a devotee to Armok...I thought otherwise.

While I do somewhat like Undertale...does it really have to be brought into and crossed over with everything? It's obnoxious at this point.

Regardless though, I saw this and enjoyed it enough. Pretty impressive how many kills someone can potentially get - as a certified Archon of Armok this amount of bloodshed pleases me.

I have to agree on this, it bugged me to see something undertale related posted on here personally.

But I do enjoy senseless bloodshed and slaughter in Dwarf Fortress though, so rock on.

Yep, I too embody the DF outlook on this. Reached the end and thought "wait that's it?"

The only time I felt emotion was on the drawing when Chara felt Slight Pain. I don't care what she's doing to others but do care what happens to her.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.

Heh heh, your post reminded of those "Difference between X and Y" images, so I just had to whip one up real quick in relation to this thread.

Yeah I know, it's crappy, but to my defense I'm only a dabbling meme magician and merely a dubious worshipper of Kek.

Theheh! Am still reading through the massacre story and am somewhere at the middle now. My fantasy genocidal tendencies started long before I knew of DF, started with the introduction of the all-mighty dreadnought in the original 'Dawn of War' RTS game as it exhibited the pinnacle of dread and death, might and strength, rage and hate.

Anyhow I'm feeling that this theme IMO fits the story a bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4wnTaDYIgs "Imagine, if you could just.. kill everyone." - Bill Williamson
