Psychopath!Sans

Sans is the brother of Papyrus and a major character in Psychopathtale. He first appears in Winter Caverns and reappears later in the Mineshaft Corridor. He serves as a supporting character in the Neutral and True Pacifist routes, and as an antagonistic boss in the Genocide and Schizophrenia route.
== Profile ==
=== Appearance ===
Sans appears as a short, paunchy skeleton with a wide awkward grin, downcast expression, glove-like hands and large eye sockets. He wears an unzipped blue slightly tattered hoodie, a gray shirt, black shorts with white lining, and a pair of sneakers. He has pinkish-red pupils that disappear when he is serious or angered. When Sans uses telekinesis or undergoes a schizophrenic episode, his left eye flashes light pinkish red and blue, the colors of determination + perseverance and patience, and his right pupil disappears. His magic sword is often seen accompanying Sans during his schizophrenic episodes.
=== Personality ===
Sans is tense and serious, often trying to keep himself alert, and avoiding any nap breaks. His apprehension is from knowing what comes next, and his brother's savagery and ruthlessness towards him and others. When asked about this, he explains that he "can't afford not to care anymore."
== In Battle ==
Sans is the final boss of the Genocide and Schizophrenia routes. Sans uses bones and straight beam projectiles that emerge from skeletal faces, known internally as "Gaster Blasters," in his attacks.
For the official fangame, see Psychopathtale: Sans Fight.
== Attacks ==
Sans uses regular and light blue attacks, but limits light blue attacks to bones only.
=== SOUL Modes ===
Sans can switch a SOUL between red and blue mode.
Red mode (Normal Mode) allows the SOUL to move freely in any direction at a constant speed. Normal Mode also allows the SOUL to flee from battle whenever possible.
Blue mode (Jump Mode) forces the SOUL to be affected by gravity, much like a side-scrolling/platformer perspective. Unlike Papyrus, Sans appears to have much more control over this, being able to force gravity in all four directions rather than just straight down. Sans often utilizes gravity to make his attacks require platforming skills, such as slamming the protagonist's SOUL against the walls of the Bullet Board and making the protagonist jump through gaps between bones and onto platforms. Jump Mode does not allow the SOUL to flee from battle.
=== Bones ===
Sans can summon bones attacks of varying sizes and patterns.
=== Gaster Blasters ===
Sans can summon Gaster Blasters of varying sizes and patterns.

== Trivia ==
* Sans suffers from schizophrenia, a mental disorder characterized by continuous or relapsing episodes of psychosis.
** It is confirmed that it was gradually developed as a result of psychological and environmental factors severely affecting his mentality, and wasn't immediately present prior to the Human's descent into the Underground.
** His schizophrenia induces episodes of psychosis which results in his delusions, hallucinations, and disordered behavior. Usually his psychosis is tolerable and isn't problematic in Sans' life, but does begin to flare up when Sans is confronting certain topics or situations.
** Sans is implied to have a form of depression as a result of his schizophrenia, however the type is not confirmed.
*Contrary to popular belief, Sans is not a psychopath unless he is influenced by his schizophrenia.
**His psychopathic behavior is a condition of his schizophrenia which results in homicidal ideations.
**In the rare situations that his psychosis becomes very severe, Sans is more likely to murder another person if he is under the belief that the killing is justified.
**Unless Sans is undergoing a psychotic episode, he does not present any psychopathic behavior, homicidal ideations, or any ill-natured intentions.
* Sans' name alludes to the typeface in which he speaks in: Comic Sans. This is a reference to Helvetica, a webcomic about a skeleton named after a font.
* Sans is left-handed.
** Sans wields his sword and indicates the direction of his psychokinesis with his left hand.
* Sans speaks in all lowercase, not even capitalizing names or sentence starters, with a few exceptions.
* Sans is older than Papyrus.
* Sans and Papyrus's bones have different styles; Sans has more rounded attacks while Papyrus's are flatter on the top and bottom.
