Artist depiction of Ink sans by comyet

**Ink! Sans** is one of the first Out!codes to exist in the UNDERTALE Multiverse, which was created by comyet. He is a precursor to Neko! frisk and plays a minor role in the Hunter guild's history as well as a major role in the multiverse overall.

## History

Ink originated from a conceptual AU that never got off the ground. He’s the first and only character with a true soul; yet despite his best effort to improve the AU, he never got a reaction from the inhabitants. In a fit of despair, he destroyed his own soul; accidentally cause him to stumble into the blank void. There he became an emotionless being alone in the vast space of emptiness.

Eventually, an inkbrush (along with different kinds of paint) from an unknown artist fell into the blank canvas, each color imbuing him with feeling. After some time without color, though, he would revert to his emotionless self. Ink fixed this problem by filling vials with the colors that were splashed on him. It allowed him to pretend to have a soul, so that he could feel. Gradually, Ink used the colors from the creators to create the doodle-sphere.

Eventually he stumble upon a portal that leads to the source code where all of the paints and colors goes to. It doesn't take long for him to discover their true purpose; to imprint the Creators' Emotions in the forms of Undertale Fan work (AUs, Fan arts, etc.). Seeing this he came to the conclusion that, in order for him to remain in this fulfilling emotional state, He have to encourage the creators to keep making and maintaining their own creations so that the paint keep flowing through the doodle-sphere itself. Thus, to keep a steady supply of emotions for him to harness, he dedicate himself to be the Muse of the Undertale Creative Community, while also protecting their creations from those who wish to harm them; be it vandals or any other off-scripted out!codes...

that being said, this wouldn't really go according to plan, as the latter would be harder to get rid of, as opposed to the former. Certain out!codes & individuals such as the infamous Nightmare sans, as well as pranksters such as Fresh & Hacker Frisk, have proven to be a strain on him, even with assistance from the likes of Core! Frisk & Delta. When Neko! Frisk created the Hunter's guild out of various monos, Ink has obligated himself to teach them their ways, hoping they can do a better job as at their task. Ink had become one of many indirect members of the hunter's guild for this reason, and has been continuing their job with the attention to bring peace to the multiverse.

## Profile

### Appearance

Ink has black paint (or ink?) on his right cheek. His eyes are usually a blue circle in the right eye socket and a star in the left. He dons a long-sleeved, white undershirt with a small brown jacket over it. His pants are actually overalls with the tops tucked into his waist. The legs are very wide at the bottoms, with creases around the legs. He also has no shoes, instead, he goes barefoot with a pair of leggings.

He has a work belt crossing his chest, with rainbow paint vials (which have heart-shaped tops) on it. When Ink drinks the vials, he gets artificial emotions. On his back he possesses his most powerful tool, an Inkbrush named Broomie.

### Personality

Ink supports all kinds of art, like painting, literature, dance, music, etc. He is very passionate about art and likes to motivate characters and creators. He’s able to change clothes on people just by using his brush, and he loves to create the kind of outfit they like. Even though he uses art as a tool, no one really saw his drawings or paintings. He is afraid of whiteness, of absence of presences or shapes around him, loneliness, huge empty spaces…

Ink!Sans has a tendency to get too excited about things. He happens to sometimes randomly vomit ink, mostly when he gets too emotionally shaken, whether from passion or shock. He also has very short memory and will forget about different things (I.E. Pencils) - sometimes stopping mid-sentence to try and remember what he just said a few seconds before. This is why he takes notes on his scarf.

Ink does not appear as a perfectly well-behaved character. He can be inconsiderate, or even downright mocking and cruel, with his opinions, and deep down he sees other characters as fake story characters and not as creatures like him. He tends to be somewhat detached from his emotions. With him hardly having a proper social understanding, he’s blunt in his teasing and mocking just like in his ability to give support and to be kind. He’s a mischief-maker, and pranks are his guilty pleasure.

Ink approaches enemies carefully. He will never try to attack them first, but will mostly focus on trying to discover their motives and talk them through it. Although he does come off as a jerk on first impression, he does know what to analyze to understand the issue so he can brush people the right way and hopefully have them listen. Ink in general acts wittily and provocatively.

### Relationships

Ink's relationships have never really been founded due to little to no direct interaction unless it's with a vandal or disruptive out!code (That and his poor social behavior). As such, he's only really had a couple particular relationships.

* Top! Gaster - The Gaster of UnderTop serves as one of Ink’s many father figures, as he consider the Guardian as a part of his family. He usually have talks with Ink about the cynical nature of the Multiverse, given that he rather not embrace his out!code status due to his dark past (especially when it comes to the genocide timelines of his AUs).
* Zephyr! Gaster - The Gaster of Zephyrtale (Myebi’s first AU) became an out!code when he first met Top!Gaster, along with Ink!Sans soon after. After learning about the Multiverse from the two, he developed a passion in studying its nature with the help of the Script Guardian. With their friendship, Ink grows fond of learning to preform task without relying on his ink powers. He, like Top!Gaster, see him as a part of his family as well.
* Error! sans - Though they have no established relationship, he's occasionally found himself with the self-proclaimed purger of the Multiverse, due to their conflicting views on the multiverse itself that they're often at odds with each other (Ink claim that the Multiverse is fine the way it is, while Error views it as an abomination, hence their indirect rivalry).
* Neko! frisk - TBA
* Manfeld O'Brien - TBA
* Gridlock! Asriel - TBA
* Gemini! Twins - TBA

### Tools & Abilities

* **Broomie** - His big brush, while not necessarily needed to create smaller things, gives him the ability to create anything he likes and make it come to life, with theexception of dead characters. Contrary to popular belief however, he does not create AUs. This brush also allows him to use different attacks, implying bones & Gaster blasters of his own design, which are capable of melting through whatever is in their path.
* **Ink Hopping:** Ink!Sans can appear everywhere in any AU of his liking from any kind of liquid. He uses them as Ink portals.
* **Script reading:** He can read the scripts of all of the Undertale AUs in existence, and thus knows the fate of all of its inhabitants.

## Trivia

* His birthday is on April 15th.
* Unlike with classic, his message font is NOTE THIS.
* Ink plays the flute on his spare time.
* He loses his pencils all the time.
* He snorts when he giggles.
* Ink's only job is to protect the scripts of all AUs; he does not create them.
* Ink is ambidextrous.
* Ink is asexual.
* (Creator's note:) It was discovered by an anonymous user that Ink's old design was heavily based on a pokémon trainer by CookieHana on DeviantArt. They later confronted Comyet about this, and in response she broke down the entirety of that situation, ending the post by saying that a redesign for Ink!Sans was in order. This redesign was released January 4, 2020, with Mye Bi requested that everybody *only* use the new design.
