Self indulgent little crossovers

malyminI'm no expert at setting up movesets in Cassette Beasts, but I've often though about how cute it would be to set up a Chara + Asriel "team" - like, what their tapes would be if they were fightable NPCs in that game.
They both need the Bansheep starter tape line, I think. Asriel absolutely has to remaster his into Ramtasm, the astral-type final evolution. I mean, it's a white floating humanoid ghost angel sheep with black accents and markings under its black eyes, that's so close to The Absolute GOD Of Hyperdeath's own aesthetics. Chara, the "kid who slept in the soil", needs to remaster theirs into Capricorpse ,the earth-type final evolution, as a complimentary tape. Asriel's Ramtasm would utilize offensive moves like Shooting Star and Battering Ram, and have Liftoff as one of its passive stickers. Chara's Capricorpse would draw more from the support/healing movepool, although probably with a token physical attack like Slice. Ritual, Haunt, and Final Breath all feels appropriate for both.

Like... do you see my vision? Do you?
I'm also partial to the DLC monster line of Littlered for Chara. Arguably both its remasters, Scarleteeth and Rosehood, are thematically appropriate, for representing the NM and Pacifist routes. However, I think Rosehood fits Chara more aesthetically, even if it is very Gendered compared to Scarleteeth. The only other monster with any kind of "yellow flower" motif in the game is Dandylion/Blossomaw, so I'd give that one to Asriel. Maybe a plant bootleg rather than a common form, as that would recolor the red areas green to resemble Flowey a bit better.

I'm unsure of the third monster for each side of the team. Kuneko/Shining Kuneko also fit's Hyperdeath!Asriel's whole anime angel Deviantart OC chuunibyou vibe, but I tend to feel a bit odd about assigning her as a monster tape... as for Chara, I'm thinking maybe Hauntome, to represent the "narrator Chara" theory/reading of the text? Or an Astral or Earth bootleg of Jellyton. There's a lot of monsters in the "knife" tag, but none of their designs really scream "Chara would love this" to me...
