Sans/HardTale

Sans is the brother of Papyrus and a comedic character in HardTale.
==Profile==
===Backstory===
HardTale Sans (also known as Hard!Sans) made his first appearance in Megalovania Hardtale, an animation published by CedDrawsNear on the 24th of March 2016. This Sans is a take on the Hard Mode version of UNDERTALE, that instead of taking place in original timeline, gets fleshed out into a full on Alternative Universe (AU).
During the animation of his introduction, we see HardTale Frisk exiting the Ruins, with Sans standing right next to them, ready to fight. After a short dialogue "Let's get this over with...", a fight between them both iniciates, this fight is short yet clean for the time it was posted on, displaying Hardtale Sans attacking while HardTale frisk dodges and strikes back, just like a normal UNDERTALE battle. 
This fight goes on for 1 minute until Sans gets tired and decides to spare Frisk by saying: "Say kiddo, how about we call it a day?". HardTale Frisk accepts, and spares Sans leading Sans to end the battle and for them both to quickly become "friends", as HardTale Sans says "i didn't really wanna kill you" implying that he simply was trying to kill HardTale Frisk because it was his job.
Since his original debut, the character has gained good amounts of popularity, earning hundreds of pieces of fanart, fan-songs, fan-animations and even getting a youtube series made by his creator that tells the tale of the HardTale AU, including Sans's one.
Contrary to what some people believe, HardTale Sans does not have the biggest impact on HardTale's story, just like Classic Sans on pacifist.
===Appearance===
Hardtale Sans is a magical skeleton who wears a red unzipped jacket with a brown fur hoodie, bellow this jacket Sans wears a white turtleneck shirt, like majority of Sans's do too. This shirt sometimes has vertical grey/black stripes, however, most of the time it is simply plain white with orange shading, just like Classic Sans.
For the clothes below, Sans wears entirely black shorts, these shorts are the same size as Classic Sans's shorts, sometimes slightly bigger. As footwear, HardTale Sans wears red sneakers. These red sneakers are partially white at the front and white at where the shoeslaces should be, speaking of shoelaces, HardTale Sans's sneakers don't have shoelaces, so he doesn't need to tie his shoes.
For his skeleton body, Hardtale has a crack on his left eye that leads up his skull, along with this, his "bad time eye" is colored a fiery orange & yellow. Not only that but he has other special "bad time" eyes, like his two red eyes that activate at times, and his green eye that activates when he turns someone's soul green. 
His smile is reminiscent of cartoon characters, still having the same smile as Sans but this time a more rounded one. And his nose is the exact same as Classic Sans.
As an extra, he occasionally wears the Kamina Glasses from the anime "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann". eye being small
===Personality===
Hardtale Sans's personality is quite similar to his Undertale counterpart, however, HardTale Sans favours goofyness, by acting jokingly basically everytime he's on screen. He is generally much more of a gags guy, and in the HardTale animations uses much more visual comedy, contrary to Classic Sans which favours the contrary of visual comedy, puns. He also is more energetic then Classic Sans, and not as lazy as his UNDERTALE counterpart too, however, he's still pretty lazy lol.
HardTale Sans appears to be generally more calm in situations and talks less then the average Sans, speaking only 1 line during his first battle, and in other episodes not being very talkative, due to this he uses much more of visual communication, doing visual comedy instead of puns/knock knock and other jokes. However, he does talk quite a bit when he's with Classic Sans, this is most likely due to him being a good friend of his, making it so HardTale Sans is comfortable speaking to him. To describe him better though, Sans is rather laid back, not caring too much. He can be lazy at times however knows when to use his powers in dire situations, he can also be a hype guy when he wants to, and despite being most of the time in a calm demeanour, he can often get excited for stuff and even yell, contrary to Classic Sans. Basically, his emotions are usually contained, just like Classic Sans, however, he is still more energetic then his Classic counterpart.
==Relationships ==
=== HardTale Papyrus (Brother)===
Papyrus is Sans's brother and they both do indeed care much about eachother, while Papyrus is much more serious then Sans he still excuses his behavior and even sometimes gets in (unintentionally) in his funny antics, providing another level of comedy himself.
===HardTale Frisk (Friend)===
While on pacifist Hardtale Frisk befriends every monster, including HardTale Sans. This would not be the case in a genocide route though, as Sans would be the type of person to beg them to stop, as seen in the "HARDTALE GENOCIDE RUN IN 8 SECONDS" video.
===Classic Sans (Friend)===
It's been shown time and time again Hardtale and classic are great pals.
===Underswap!Sans (Friend)===
Like with classic these two are pals.
=== Underfell!Sans (Friendemy/Enemy) ===
While Underfell Sans isn't a direct enemy to HardTale Sans, Underfell Sans does not appear to like HardTale Sans very much, and HardTale Sans shares the same feelings back, as UF Sans tried stealing his stuff in the Minecraft Server.
===A random Minecraft Enderman (Enemy)===
HardTale Sans looked the Enderman in the eye, causing it to get enraged and pursue HardTale Sans.
===Error!Sans (Rival/Enemy)===
They aren't chill with each other. CedDrawsNear himself stated that Error Sans hates the HardTale AU, hence them being enemies. 
==Abilities ==
=== Damage Negation ===
It's not known if this ability is a passive or simply a matter of HardTale Sans having high defense, but it is known HardTale Sans can tank a lot of hits due to this. This ability makes it so he takes fraction damage, instead of the usual damage ammounts. While we don't know the full extent of this ability it is still quite powerfull as it allows HardTale Sans to take a bunch of hits. Source is shown in Megalovania Hardtale and Hardtale Megalovania+.
===Buffed Stats & Standard Sans stuff===
Due to HardTale Sans being, at his core, a hardmode version of Sans, he has obvious buffed stats. Not only that, but he also has normal Sans's abilities, such as Shortcuts, KR, Dodging, Blue soul mode and all that stuff Cassic Sans has but buffed.
===Bones===
HardTale Sans has all the normal Sans stuff, such as Bones, however, contrary to Normal Sans it appears HardTale Sans can control his damage output very well. As seen in 0:16 of the "oops!" video, Sans uses a bone to move Swap Sans, usually this would make it so Swap Sans would take damage after the time stop, however, it appears he doesn't. This most likely means HardTale Sans has around the same type of damage control as UNDERTALE Papyrus, being able to control his damage output to make it so his attacks deal higher/lower damage, which is a powerful ability of itself.
===Gaster Blasters===
HardTale Sans's Gaster Blasters work the same as UNDERTALE Sans, however, the difference is that instead of shooting a white laser beam, HardTale Sans's blasters shoot a red laser beam.
Oh, and HardTale Sans can summon Blasters that shoot out Orange/Blue beams with their respective properties too.
===Telekenesis===
Just like Classic Sans, HardTale Sans has telekinesis, the only difference is that HardTale Sans's telekinesis deals more damage (5 damage to be exact, considering he 4 hit killed a zombie at 0:45 in the Hardtale Minecraft video) and that it can actually kill people, instead of leaving them at 1 hp.
=== Green Soul===
Hardtale is able to use the green soul mode which locks the target in place and forces them to block attacks instead of dodging.
===Red Knives===
Hardtale Sans is able to throw 3 red knives out of nowhere, it is not known if this is a magic ability or simply the fact that HardTale Sans carries 3 knives around, however, its still an ability he pulls in one of the episodes, hence why it should be marked here. (Source: "Which Sans Can Break The Bedrock?" at 0:40 seconds)
===Time Stop===
Sans is able to stop time at will as seen in multiple videos. The longest time stop we've seen Hardtale Sans do was 12 seconds in the "oops!" video. Which is already a ton of seconds for a time stop, making it so with this simple move, Hardtale gets up on power scalling ranks a bunch.
===Flaming/Charged Hand===
With this ability, HardTale can charge his hand, making it have a fire type effect and making it really strong. This hand is strong enough to move metal bars with little to not effort, how ever is not strong enough to break bedrock lol. (Source: "Which Sans Can Break The Bedrock?" at 0:11 and Hardtale: Prison at 0:36, there's more appearances with the flaming hand but I'm too lazy to get them all, these two should work anyways.)
===Blue and Orange Attacks===
Sans can make his attacks orange or blue: move to avoid orange damage, stop moving to avoid blue damage.
==Battle==
Sans' fight occurs the second you leave the ruins as he was waiting for you outside. He can be spared in a similar way to Classic Sans as you can bore/tire/shoot him out (source 1) (source 2).
It is unknown if he has a battle in genocide, or how it plays out.
However, Hardtale Sans does have a theme, while it wasn't composed directly for him it is viewed as his theme by many, even by the creator of Hardtale, therefore "Megalovania Remix - Drum & Bass" is his theme.
==Trivia==
*Sans' first appearance in Hardtale was in the episode titled MEGALOVANIA Hardtale.
*He likes ketchup.
*He has played Among us, Minecraft, Spelunky and FNF.
*He has escaped the backrooms.
*His minecraft gamertag is "hardbone".
*He lost a game of rock paper scissors to swap and "died"
*Hardtale Sans is shown to have fire powers from the video “HARD SANS has FIRE POWERS”.
*Again, despite popular belief HardTale Sans NEVER said "do you wanna have a hard time?" that is simply a fanon catch pharse.
*Hardtale Sans wears red sneakers, not red slippers, the red slippers design is old and fanon.
*He has met LeBron James.
*A lot of his move set is inspired or/and taken out of Jojo's Bizzare Adventure, due to the creator of Hardtale (CedDrawsNear) being a big fan of the anime.
*Hardtale Sans's "bad time" eye is actually small, not taking over the whole eye socket.
*Hardtale Sans has 9+ HP. This is shown in the "when you can't trust the kid" video, as Sans takes 9 damage and is severely wounded by it, but not dead, this means that Sans has more then 9 HP, and considering how much pain the voice clip used in the video had, it is most likely that Hardtale Sans has a total of 10 HP.
*Hardtale Sans has toon force.
*Error Sans does not like the HardTale AU CedDrawsNear himself states. Hence why Hardtale Sans and Error are enemies.
*Hardtale Sans can canonically fart.
*Hardtale Sans has a really good phone, being able to download stuff with it. Not to mention the phone looks very modern.
*Hardtale Sans has headphones.
