Sans/Glitchtale

Sans is one of the main characters of Glitchtale. He appeared in S1 as the deuteragonist. He later appears as one of the most important characters who hasn't been in action for most S2. In Animosity, Sans melts and dies by overusing what's left of his magic and determination, leaving his brother and father distraught.
==Profile ==
===Appearance===
Sans is a relatively short monster, having a height similar to Frisk, Alphys, Asriel, Bete Noire, and Chara. He wears a blue hoodie with a white t-shirt and black shorts with a vertical white stripe on the sides.
As of HATE, Sans now wears a cyan-like shirt with a turtle top instead of his white t-shirt. His slippers are replaced with sneakers as well.
When either absorbing a Soul of Determination or being injected with it, both Sans' eyes will turn blue, showcasing a significant power boost.
=== Personality===
Almost always showing a smiley expression and a laid back tone, Sans is a character who’s known to make puns and to be extremely lazy as well.
Usually, Sans is an easy-going and agreeable person; however, he can be eerily serious at times. In the Underground, Sans had acted especially lazy because he knew that any progress he’d made would be reset. Though, in Glitchtale, when Frisk breaks the reset button, he begins to realize he finally has a future and is not as lazy as he was in the past.
While he can hold anger for what characters like Asriel had done in the past, he is willing to forgive and start anew. Sans also is willing to put his life down if it means his loved ones can have a future, even if he wants one. It is evident through him taking a fatal hit to save Asriel’s life. As shown in Animosity, he also deeply cares for his family, despite knowing that Gaster injected Determination into him, Sans didn't act as differently and forgave Gaster. When Bête turns Sans' controlled Gaster Blasters onto Papyrus and Gaster, Sans counters with an even bigger wall of Gaster Blasters and saves them, however, at the cost of his life, showing how much deeply he cared for them.  
==Abilities==
===Standard Abilities===
Teleportation: The ability to transport somewhere in an instant.
Bone Attack: The ability to summon bones and use them to attack and defend.
Gaster Blasters: The ability to summon Gaster Blasters for attack and defense.
Gaster Blastermination: Sans summons a wall of Gaster Blaster; however, this heavily tires him out. While having Determination soul trait, Sans can summon more than one of these attacks.
Karmic Retribution (KR): Works with enemies that don't have LV (Level) and increase the original effect on enemies that have it.
===SOUL Powered===
These abilities are gained when Sans absorbs Frisk's soul.
*Greater Stats: Sans' stats become higher. His HP will be 21, his ATK won't go higher than 1, and DEF will be 999. (Determination gives him an incredible boost to the defense.)
*RESET: As we can see from Megalomaniac and Yet Darker, Sans was able to reset the timeline.
*Due to glitches, Sans can now remember all the timelines starting from "Megalomaniac".
==History==
==History==
===Sans vs Flowey===
Throughout the animation, Flowey and Sans repeatedly fought, with Sans winning every single time, which is likely since Flowey did not have the six souls absorbed, which ultimately made him lose.
Eventually, Flowey couldn't fight anymore. Using this opportunity, Sans played a sadistic game of spare-don't spare with him and his petals. He soon decided not to spare him and killed him as a result.
===Megalomaniac===
In a genocide route, Sans appears at the start of the animation in the judgment hall.But something WAS different.Back in the judgement hall. tHere he encounters Frisk, and the two fight numerous times, with Frisk dying frequently.
Eventually, after Chara seals Frisk away when they attempt to reset, Chara enters the hall. Hate-filled Chara soon challenges Sans, and they start to fight.
Sans seems unable to defeat Chara, who avoids all of his attacks. Eventually, he becomes too tired to keep fighting. Chara, not letting this opportunity go to waste, attempts to kill Sans. However, Frisk came in at just the right moment. They jump in front of him, saving his life. Before dying, they tell him to take their soul and fix their mistakes. Sans quickly grabs their soul, causing him to get stronger. He "dunked" Chara (killed him by impaling him on a bone, then blasting him to dust) and pressed the reset button with the help of the Determination he gained from absorbing Frisk's soul.
===Yet Darker===
When the episode starts, Frisk wakes Sans up. Sans decides to take them at Grillby|Grillby's through a "short-cut" that he knows. 
However, when Sans arrives at Grillby's, he realizes that something is wrong; Frisk isn't with him.
During Frisk's encounter with Gaster, Sans soon appears and attempts to teleport away from Gaster; however, this fails. To escape, he uses a gaster blaster, killing a random pink butterfly in the process, to burst open the door.
The two manage to leave the room; however, Gaster (partly) materializes and becomes stronger. To defeat Gaster, Sans informs Frisk to give him their soul. Frisk willingly hands over their soul to him; unfortunately, Gaster takes Frisk's soul instead and stabs Sans with a large black spike. Luckily, Frisk's soul did not allow Gaster to take it, and as Frisk's soul refuses, it rushes over to Sans, allowing him to take it and become stronger.
Sans manages to destroy all of Gaster's hands, and afterward, Gaster attempts to kill Sans one more time, but he stabs him with some bones. Sans then presses the RESET button again.
===Don't Forget...===
Sans is seen entering his workshop and turns on the light. He walks up to a drawer and pulls out a picture. The picture is a poorly-done drawing of him and Gaster with a smear at the right with a taped message that said: "don't forget."
He promises his father that he will find a way to revive him without killing anyone.
===*Determination===
When the episode begins, Sans is seen with Frisk at the Hotland and soon warns them not to reset. Sans explains that resetting can cause adverse effects on the timeline to Frisk. Later on, he teleports back to Snowdin's forest.
Following this, Flowey informs Sans that Chara has captured Frisk and wants to steal Frisk's DETERMINATION for his evil purposes.
The two soon arrive in the true lab to find Frisk in the DT extractor. They fight Chara for a while, but during the fight, the DT extractor finishes the process of draining Frisk's DT. Flowey and Sans attempt to take Frisk's DETERMINATION before Chara does, but sadly, they fail.
Before leaving with Flowey, Sans grabs Frisk, who is left weak and unconscious, but alive.
===Your Best Friend===
The episode starts with Sans working on a machine in his secret workshop, with Flowey and a weakened Frisk watching. Soon, he finishes building the machine and powers it on, which causes Gaster to come back from the void and appear in his regular appearance that he had before falling in the void. He soon asks Gaster to take him, Flowey, and Frisk to where the human souls are.
Gaster soon takes them there using teleportation. After reaching there, Sans gives the souls to Flowey, turning him into Omega Flowey, which attracts Chara's attention; the purpose of getting human souls is to use their power to defeat them.
Sans, Gaster, and Omega Flowey fight Chara for some time, with Frisk watching. Sans is almost killed when Chara strikes a powerful blow, but Gaster takes the hit instead, almost killing him. Sans, angry that Chara held his father with an inch of his life after just getting him back, lost his patience and risked all of his energy by unleashing his real special attack, Gaster Blastermination.
Thanks to Chara's DETERMINATION, they survived the attack and threw a giant cut at Flowey. Sans quickly severs his cords and pulls him out of the way just before it could touch him. The attack then flies towards him instead, forcing him to spawn a Gaster Blaster to shield himself. While he deflected Chara's attack, his remaining strength was now gone, and he fell, forcing Omega Flowey to catch him. Sans passes out, and the battle continues without him. 
===Continue===
Sans is seen at the beginning of the episode, woken up by Papyrus. Papyrus asked him about the gigantic black ball of HATE, which just happened to contain Asriel and Chara.
Sans is not seen again until much later in the animation. He appeared after the barrier was broken and. A couple of frames later, he appears with Gaster, Papyrus, Toriel, Asriel, Asgore, Undyne, Alphys, and Frisk at the Surface. Sans soon remembers Frisk's failed genocide run and asks them to talk to him for a bit.
Sans and Frisk appear outside Frisk's room. Here, Sans told them that he could remember their genocide route. He proceeded to ask them when they were going to reset. Frisk then breaks the reset button, and the episode then ends with Sans saying, "I guess we were really friends after all."
===[My Sunshine===
In this episode of Glitchtale, Asriel talked to Sans, apologizing for what he did when he was Flowey. Sans later decides to start over with him, and Asriel leaves the room.
A few scenes later, Sans and Asriel were seen at Grillby's. Sans was seen teasing him with awful flower puns. They find Frisk, who introduced them to their new "friend", Bete Noire. Frisk asked Bete Noire why her soul reacted to Toriel's approach when she claimed she didn't have powers. This made Bete confess that she has a pink soul. This surprises Sans, Asriel, and Frisk.
Also, Sans can be seen laying on the couch while Gaster was researching the pink trait to no avail during the episode.
===Dust===
Sans appears when Frisk takes Bete to meet Papyrus. Soon, Sans, Frisk, Bete Noire, and Asriel go to Mettaton's first live performance.
When they arrive, Bete decides to go talk to Mettaton. Meanwhile, Papyrus was tricked by a hallucination of a little girl (appeared with yellow weave long hair and yellow clothes similar to Agate Lightvale) made by Bete Noire into dropping large slabs of concrete on the area. Sans used his powers to stop the concrete from falling. Then Jessica Grey, who was waiting for an opportunity, shot him with her "Monster Paralyzing Gun". This caused him to temporarily lose his powers and caused Jessica's soul to crack from the immense amount of energy it takes to use.
Soon, Sans gathered Frisk, Asriel, and Bete Noire to share their ideas to find a way to sort through all the chaos. When Frisk confesses that they were, selfishly, thinking about resetting, Sans became angry, as he then realized that their promise was a lie since the beginning and calls them selfish just to have their own enjoyment, as he finds it suspicious that the first thing that came to mind was resetting. He also knew this would mean losing Gaster and Asriel forever. Frisk retaliated, and that they could bring them back; Sans then reminds that getting bored with a reset would again resolve in Genocide. When Frisk again tries to make him "understand", Sans pulls them near and almost breaks his promise to Toriel if it weren't for Asriel. Not wanting to be reminded of a promise that has been treated as nothing since it was made, Sans throws his bracelet to the floor. Frisk tries to apologize, or again, selfishly make him understand his point of view, only for Sans to threaten to harm them another time. He then heads off to the AMD feeling betrayed, leaving a sobbing Frisk behind.
Sans and Asriel then went to AMD's recording room. Here, they watched the camera's recordings. They soon see the recording where Frisk saved Bete Noire from getting hit by a car. But instead of a car appearing, nothing appeared, indicating that she was using her ability to create and control hallucinations to make Frisk see a car. They also saw a recording of her leaving Gaster's lab through the wall as the reunion was occurring.
When they realized that Bete Noire was behind all the chaos, Bete Noire entered the room. She wasted no time unleashing the true monster inside her. Before they could escape, Jessica Grey shot Sans with the same gun she used earlier, removing all of the powers he managed to gain after the first time he was shot. Bete then hallucinated Asriel into seeing Chara, causing him to freeze. Little did he know that she was planning on stabbing him with her spear. She then threw her spear, but Sans was determined because this was the only timeline with a future and teleported in front of Asriel, sacrificing himself. Bete Noire then takes his soul and gives it to Kumu to "eat", turning him to dust.
===Love Part 1===
Sans did not make a physical or major appearance in this episode. Instead, he appeared in one of Gaster's flashbacks. He appeared with Gaster and an unnamed monster who also helped Gaster with his experiments in the CORE. In this scene, the CORE was overheating and was falling apart as a result. Gaster managed to slow down the process, and he attempted to escape with Sans. But then, a pipe fell down. Gaster pushed Sans out of the way, sacrificing himself to save Sans' life. As Gaster is falling, a blue bolt of lightning hits Sans’ left eye, giving him his signature blue eye.
===Love Part 2===
Sans returns as a major character in this episode. During the battle between Frisk and Bete, Frisk gains the upper hand after having their LV raised to 19 in response to Asriel's soul being taken. To fight back, Bete retrieves what is left of Sans' soul from Kumu and fills it with HATE, reviving him under Bete's command. Meanwhile, Gaster and Papyrus both feel his influence and rush to the battlefield with Toriel and Asgore. As Frisk gets stricken by Sans, Papyrus intervenes and confronts Sans, leaving Frisk to continue fighting Bete. While Sans repeatedly attempts to murder his brother, Papyrus attempts to deflect his blows and insists that he will never fight back, eventually calling him his brother. This breaks Sans free from the control of HATE, leaving him in a state of unconsciousness.
Papyrus's actions inspire Frisk, who states that they will "use the opposite of HATE (Love) to save Asriel.
===My Promise===
Throughout the entirety of the episode, Sans was visibly unconscious. He was first seen in Papyrus' arms when he and the others have returned home.
Later, Papyrus went along with Gaster when he decided to take Sans to his lab to figure out his condition. When Papyrus was getting a notebook and pencil for his father, Gaster discovered that Sans has a fatal condition called "fallen down". The monster will stay in a state of unconsciousness before finally turning to dust, with no cure being able to reverse the damage.
===Game Over Part 1'===
Again, Sans is only shown unconscious throughout the entirety of the episode. Gaster has worsened Sans’ state with Determination. According to Gaster, Sans will no longer have a peaceful death, since the Determination would force him to be fully awake to experience it.
===Game Over Part 2===
Sans is seen with Papyrus in this episode with the majority of his screentime in it being seen unconscious, but his hands seem to be cracking and twitching. 
Sans is lastly seen in the end, waking up with terror in his eyes. Both of his eyes are lit up, signifying a massive boost of power, understandable as he was injected by Determination.
===Hate===
Sans has a longer appearance in this episode since he woke up. Upon awaking, Sans looks at his surroundings and notices the empty vial of Determination. Realizing that it was injected inside of him and was only awake because of it, Sans knew it wasn't long before he would flat line. Wanting to make the most of the time he had left, Sans dons his jacket and teleports above ground to help his friends fight Bete.
Sans first notices Papyrus mourning, about how he failed to keep the Dreemurrs' place safe. Sans then calls his name and looks "busted", which makes Papyrus shocked, asking Sans if he died. 
Sans assured him that he wasn't, making Papyrus believe that Sans is alive. Sans only says that "it's complicated" because he has been injected with DETERMINATION, which keeps him alive for a short amount of time. Sans asks Papyrus where the others were, where he says that he knows that most of them are in the arena. Sans then asks where the "other kid" is. Papyrus states that Chara is at the arena, confusing Sans. Sans then asks if there was "another kid," referring Frisk. When Papyrus asks if he meant Asriel, Sans disregards the question, then notices the Bracelet that Frisk had given him with a look of remorse. Papyrus asks Sans if he can teleport, but Sans explains that he would have used up a bunch of his own magic if he teleported to Papyrus. Papyrus had an idea and uses his Gaster Blaster as transportation. Sans is last seen heading to the Arena with Papyrus.
===Animosity===
Sans and Papyrus arrive near the arena and attack Bete Noire on sight. Before they could deal damage anymore, Gaster punches Bete with a giant hand nearby, and the two brothers greet him with warm smiles and waves. However, Gaster spots Sans and remembers what he did to keep him "alive". Knowing well what upset him, Sans still spoke kindly to his father, showing no signs of anger or hate. As Papyrus joins in for a group hug, Bete emerges from the rubble and goes for Papyrus, claiming that their chain was only as strong as the weakest link. Luckily, Papyrus can counter, smacking her with giant bone, starting the fight.
After Gaster punches Bete out of the building she was launched into with his giant hand, Sans attempts to blast her in midair with another Gaster Blaster. She quickly dodges it and pushes off the wall of another building, sending her towards Gaster.
Sans then grabs Bete with telekinesis before she could touch his dad and slams her into a building. Bete quickly gets up and destroys a nearby building, sending chunks of debris towards them and attempts to escape. As Gaster and Sans shield themselves, they watch Papyrus pursue Bete and block her off. Bete then punches Papyrus in irritation. Angered, Sans, and Gaster fire Gaster Blasters on both sides. Bete can shield herself and creates a cloud of smoke as she screams.
After the scene is cleared, Papyrus gets grabbed by Bete, who begins to squeeze the actual life out of him. Sans quickly moves behind her and strikes her with a Gaster Blaster, knocking her away. Seeing the critical condition his brother was in as Gaster healed him, Sans, triggered, informs Bete that everyone here is tired and prepares to wrap things up with an entire wall of Gaster Blaster. However, Bete takes control of every one of them and aims them all at Sans, who was caught in the middle. As they fired, Gaster protects his son by forming his two giant hands around him. Sans then witnesses the hands break as the blasts stop, and he notices how bad of a condition this left his father in. Bete, realizing that she had been given an advantage, aims the Blasters at Gaster and Papyrus. As they again fired, Sans jumps in front of them and steps up his game by creating even more to combat her blast. Sans begins to melt as he creates a bigger blast and finally gets rid of the controlled Gaster Blasters and hits Bete. As Gaster comes to, he and Papyrus look at Sans, horrified. He was melting due to an overuse of magic and determination. Looking at his brother and father one last time, Sans is barley able to ask them if they were alright. As his eyes fade to black, his body turns to dust, and his soul shatters.
==Trivia==
*Camila stated in a post and in the comment section of one of her videos that she "killed" Sans in Dust because she wanted other characters to have some spotlight and development.
**Despite this, Sans did return in Love Part 2. However, he ran out of determination in Animosity.
*Camila's favorite character is Sans.http://camilaart.tumblr.com/post/164292123190/do-you-think-its-a-bad-thing-that-the-community
*Camila did reveal two possible ways Sans could have survived. He could either push himself into becoming an amalgamate or get daily injections of Determination. However, Camila also said that Sans may not really want this.https://camilaart.tumblr.com/post/189477702055/so-if-he-like-regularly-got-injections-of-dt-whenhttps://camilaart.tumblr.com/post/189464583730/serious-question-with-the-amount-of-determination
**In the end, Sans pushed himself, but died due to total loss of magic rather than becoming an amalgamate
**It's likely that Sans is gone forever
*Sans can create his own Determination.http://camilaart.tumblr.com/post/166012939485/i-just-realized-that-when-sans-teleported-to-save This is shown during Dust when he teleports in front of Asriel with both his blue eyes lit up.
*If Sans didn’t reset in time during Megalomaniac and Yet Darker, he would’ve melted from the Determination in Frisk's soul.
*In an Animo post,https://aminoapps.com/c/camila-cuevas/page/blog/so-uhh-sorry/6P7Y_vMYczu6QJgRYMWelYPbVKrn8j63226 Sans had a conversation with Asriel. In fact, this conversation indicates that the events of Sans vs. Flowey are canon to the Glitchtale universe.
*After Sans' body was rebuilt using magic, he had lost the physical matter he had gained from the surface and so his capacity to handle Determination reduced. http://camilaart.tumblr.com/post/175547741290/so-about-sans-since-he-had-his-body-rebuild-with 
*Camila confirmed that Sans is actually dead, which is why Gaster’s blue eye is gone. He's only conscious due to the Determination that was injected into him.http://camilaart.tumblr.com/post/182589089620/why-does-gaster-glow-only-one-eye-if-sans-is
*Sans has a similar understanding of how the game works compared to Chara and Asriel.https://camilaart.tumblr.com/post/183824108750/quick-question-if-chara-really-replaced-frisk
**This is because of a glitch that caused him to remember all the resets and partially remember Frisk.
*Sans vaguely remembers Frisk, but cannot seem to recall who they were, simply referring to them as "another kid".
*Since "Gaster" is actually Wing Dings' last name, it could be possible that Sans' full name is "Sans Gaster".
*In the end, Sans' second death is what motivated Gaster to kill Bete with everything he's got.
