==Story==
Preceding the Underverse crisis, a new seed like set of data was implanted into Null Space by an unidentified being. Eventually, the seed started to collect masses of data/code, growing more and more. Sometime after the crisis, the seed collected enough code to create its own body to host, which gave the seed its own mind.
Due to collecting the structural data of a Sans, his appearance looks like a sans. However, this is just a shell, this does not mean he is a Sans. Waking up from the process, the seed was confused and unaware of his whereabouts, which he then stood up and started to walk around out of curiosity. Unlike [Redacted], the seed was not given a name nor was he given an objective by his "creator". Slowly but surely, the seed started to teach itself different skills, one being the ability to leave this plain of existence.
Upon creating a rift, he ended up in a somewhat spherical room full of paper, the doodlesphere. The seed decided to take a look at the pieces of paper, in which contained information regarding alternate universes. Fortunately, the seed collected info regarding AU's during his stasis, in which he placed in a mindbank. Suddenly, he heard a splat of paint as a figure was emerging through, giving him the motive to leave. Unknowing where he transported to, he looked around as it was just a blank plain that was seemingly infinite, this was known as the Anti-Void.
While wandering the Anti-Void, Error came across this mysterious figure. At first glance, he believed it to be [Redacted] or another one of [Redacted2]s creations. Before he could say anything, the figure tore open a rift and escaped through it. While travelling through different universes, the seed was unintentionally leaving behind traces of his whereabouts. Fortunately, Ink Sans had been keeping track of his current whereabouts and clears up anything considered unusual to the inhabited AU. Unable to identify the person, Ink Sans assumed this being to have only recently existed, potentially from an AU.
Judging by his looks and profound abilities, Ink gave him the nickname "Exploit", as there is too many beings currently nicknamed Error. Ink was not the only one to catch on to Exploit's capabilities as [Redacted2] was aware of the damage he could cause, which angers him as it may interfere with his future plans of taking over the multiverse. As a backup plan, [Redacted2] sent [Redacted] to go after Exploit, which quickly backfired as Error finally caught up with Exploit, catching the attention of [Redacted]. Consequently, this caused a heated battle between the three, lasting for potentially hours, in which it eventually concluded when all three grew tired.
The home of Exploit is theorized to be Null Space as neither Ink or anyone else could find any traces in the Void, Anti-Void or any other realms. Judging by his appearance, he looks to be an out-code far more corrupt and dangerous than even Fatal Error, putting him on the higher ups of threats towards Error himself.
== Profile ==
===Appearance===
Exploit wears a long black jacket with purple diamond shapes and lines. His hood is on most of the time. He has markings on his eyes similar to Gaster's. His face features a rather obscure smile. He wears a gray turtleneck, along with black shorts with white stripes. His jacket features magenta colored fur around his hood. He wears purple slippers. His entire body is glitched out with various different patterns and bugs.
(Reincarnated) Exploit wears a shorter version of his jacket, as well as having different patterns on his arms and hood. He now wears a mask over his mouth, imitating a more serious expression due to not being able to control the forever smile of his. Adding to his scars, he gains an extra scar obtained by a fatal injury to the eye. Due to the eye injury, his reincarnated form no longer has his yellow eye, making him somewhat weaker, but the eye faintly appears during his second phase. His shorts have different white lining, as well as a lighter tone of black. The symbol around his soul differs, depicting his new "Soul Blasters". Exploit now wields 1-2 blades (depends on phase), allowing for more close range slashes and jabs. Due to more close range, Exploit now wears purple and yellow sneakers, giving better traction in battle. Furthermore, he now wears dark brown tactical gloves, giving a better grip onto his blades.
=== Personality===
Exploit is rather foolish. As mentioned earlier, Exploit enjoys messing around with code all across the multiverse. Due to this, any world he touches may get corrupted and cause a major malfunction to occur, possibly fatally harming that world. However, Exploit does not enjoy others trying to interfere with his "fun" and much prefers being by himself. Despite this, Exploit is very energetic and loves to mess around with others people, especially other Sans'. He often enjoys breaking the 4th wall. Due to an unknown reason, Exploit cannot talk normally. Similar to bumblebee from transformers, he uses frequencies from radios or televisions to create sentences in order to talk.
==Abilities==
=== Blue Magic ===
Like most Sans’, Exploit has the ability to turn the enemies soul blue to force them away. Unlike most sans’ however, his blue magic has the ability to somewhat control the person, giving an advantage. 
===Yellow Bones===
These special types of bones have the ability to shoot enemies at long and close range. The amount of damage slowly increases per hit.
===Red Bones===
Being one of his most deadly attacks, red bones insta-kill or fatally wound anything or anyone who comes into contact with it. However, Exploit only uses Red Bones if he has to.
===Exploit Blaster===
Exploit' signature blaster is like a normal Gaster Blaster, which has an additional ability of creating geysers from whichever surface gets into contact, letting the guard down for those who initially dodged his blaster.
=== Data Absorption ===
Not only can he corrupt data, he can also absorb data to increase his base magic. When absorbing power from an enemy, he essentially copies rather than taking away their power, as well as boosting his own. When he absorbs someone's power, his appearance alters, changing to look like what would seem to be a fusion between him and the opposing threat.
=== S.E.R.A.P.H.I.M===
This alternate form of Exploit consists of the seven human souls created by hacking them in, causing the form to look slightly distorted or damaged. Similar to the Exploit Blaster, this ability of his is most likely a last resort item if encountering someone or something stronger. Being overwhelmed with power, Exploit prefers not to use this form as much as possible due to the potential damage it may cause to himself; quite similar to Error's B.U.T.T.E.R.F.L.Y minus the death part.
=== Exploiphilia ===
Like the Exploit Blaster, Exploiphilia is a being which can be only summoned by Exploit. The Exploiphilia is a large slender dragon that looks almost like a blaster with a body. Having no wings, the Exploiphilia is used as ground control, swiping enemies away in only mere hits.
=== Data Manipulation ===
Not only can he absorb data, he can also manipulate it to manifest faulty clones of whoever the data came from, in which they share the attacks that said data originated from. The said clones look rather similar to the original person, but instead have faded colors and blank expressions. Furthermore, he choose whether to apply the data to himself, or to create said clone to fight for him. 
=== Positive and Negative ===
Using his eyes, Exploit has the ability to lend power, as well as take away power for himself. However, the cost of taking power from others will not always guarantee strength, making this ability more for support.
== Phases ==
=== Phase 1: ===
Like most Sans battles he uses bones, blasters and blue attacks. However, he may also use some of his data absorption. Unlike most sans, his bones have unique abilities such as firing at and fatally wounding the target..
=== Phase 2: ===
After hitting a close call, Exploit decides to call in backup, which he summons Exploiphilia to aid him in battle. Not only that, Exploit begins to use his Data Manipulation to create faulty clones, essentially hiding behind his own attacks. In an act of desperateness, he then absorbs the data himself to become somewhat fused with said data, giving him the attacks from the contents of that data.
=== Phase 3: ===
After receiving a hit, Exploit calls upon the seven human souls he manifested, which then transforms him into his S.E.R.A.P.H.I.M form. Being the hardest phase, S.E.R.A.P.H.I.M Exploit uses enhanced versions of his attacks from the previous phases, including Exploiphilia. Due to being in S.E.R.A.P.H.I.M, Exploit cannot use his data manipulation on himself, but he is still able to somewhat summon faulty clones. Despite this, he gets another hit on himself, forcing him to retreat to Null Space to go back into stasis, healing his injuries and collecting more data as time passes.
=== Reincarnated Phase 1: ===
After returning from stasis, his appearance and attacks are changed. Due to recieving a fatal blow in the eye, Exploit uses a red blade to make up for his magic depletion. However, his red eye is still active, giving him his negative attacks. Exploit may also still have his blasters, as well as his usual attacks from the original phase one, minus the plus magic from his yellow eye. Due to being a reincarnation, he does not have the same abilities as his prior form, meaning he cannot use data absorption or Exploiphilia.
=== Reincarnated Phase 2: ===
Exploit had enough, enraging him to the point of boosting his magic significantly. Due to enough focus, his yellow eye is faintly visible, still somewhat shattered but still works. Furthermore, he weilds a second blade, being a yellow blade that represents his yellow eye, being also faded/damaged. Similar to Dusttrust, Exploit attacks with rapid slashes, dealing different types of damaged depending on which blade. However, Exploit slowly gains cracks on his body, meaning he overexerted his magic.
=== Reincarnated Phase 3: ===
After getting exhausted from attacking, Exploit is slowly fading due to the excessive use of magic. He was reluctant, but he had to absorb the human souls once again, but this time, the souls were different. Due to the souls being fixed and boosted, Exploits stats in this phase is significantly larger than the original third phase. Furthermore, he also absorbed Exploiphilia. Upon absorbing the 7 human souls and Exploiphilia, Exploit's appearance changes, forming a dragon like being, (Similar to Dusttrust phase 4). In this phase, Exploit still has a blade, but this time its much larger with the combined power of his positive and negative magic, giving an orange color. In this phase, Exploit can fire a beam from his mouth due to being a gaster blaster, as well as being able to summon significantly more blasters than before.
=== Reincarnated Phase 4: ===
to be continued....
== Relationships ==
=== Ink Sans ===
Not being a fan of creating, their relation can be seen as uneasy. However, there is no hate towards each other as its seemingly neutral.
=== Error Sans ===
Although Exploit somewhat shares similarities with Error, Error despises him as he is just another anomaly in his eyes.
==Trivia ==
*Exploit was originally to be named "Trojan", which was already taken
*The color choice was not in fact inspired by Epic!Sans, but was rather a coincidence
*Exploit was originally created to rival both 404 and [Redacted], not to overpower them
*The yellow diamond shape on Exploit' chest is in fact his soul
*The name Exploiphilia comes from the words Exploit and Nyctophilia, which means "love of darkness or night".
*Exploit was originally going to have a normal mouth like most Sans', which I changed to the current design as it felt more fitting.
*Exploit likes to listen to music using his MP3 player (No favorite songs atm)
