## Biography

The Database is vast, and full of presumably infinite possibilities. The unfathomable amount of power that the Database can grant makes it a prone target to many entities throughout the verses, and despite the hundreds of thousands of attempts that had been made to infiltrate it, all of them failed, all except one. Once Arthur had mistakenly made his way into the Database, his tainted code had set off hundreds of millions of chain reactions throughout the Database, including the defensive mechanisms that are constructed into the Database, thus resulting in the creation of an Anti-Virus, otherwise known as Error!301. The Error code 301 stands for “Permanently Moved” meaning 301’s purpose is to “move” or in simple terms, exterminate whatever the Database desires. When 301 was created, the Database had copied the code of the last living entity within it, this of course being Arthur, so this would appear as to why 301 has a more Sans-like appearance not long after his creation. Oddly enough, 301 wasn’t created to exterminate Encryption, though instead was created to hunt down and destroy a Virus, this virus being known as Error!808. 301 knew his job, so with this, he left, hunting down the virus in hopes to destroy it and return the missing code fragments it had taken back to the Database, though little to his knowledge, this wouldn’t be a simple task that he could finish in a short period of time.

301 was always following behind 808, having to clean up the messes and destruction he caused, yet through this time, 301 met countless monsters and humans. Most of these beings showed nothing but kindness and this made 301 realize something. Perhaps his existence shouldn’t solely revolve around exterminating 808, because after he accomplished this task, what would be next for him? The thought of having his newfound sentience ripped away terrified him more than anything, so while he did continue to attempt to rid the Far Lands of 808 once and for all, the error also made sure to do things for himself. His undying devotion to the Database being one of the biggest things that kept him on task of trying to get rid of Error!808, though he also simply wished to help others, and it was obvious what 808’s intentions were. Time and time again, 301 and 808 would clash, only for 301 to be forced to flee, as while they were technically on the same degree of power, 808’s powers were seemingly evolving, while 301’s remained static, what was 808 doing that he wasn’t? That’s when it clicked; since 808 was using his abilities to cause harm, he was actually using his abilities far more than 301 was, so the simple answer? 301 needed to practice. Error!301 would begin practicing to better himself, often going back to the Database, or venturing out into the vastness of the Manicverse to test his abilities. As time went on, he became more and more accustomed to his abilities and not before long, he was on par with his rival.

Despite being able to actually combat his rival now, 301 still just can’t seem to get rid of him. There have been plenty of times where he could’ve erased 808 entirely, taken his code back and returned to the Database, however, the lingering fear of being reduced to nothing but bits of code still haunts him, so that’s partly why he decides to spare 808, furthermore, his goal is to perhaps revert him to a more stable, or at least passive state, though this most likely won’t be happening anytime soon. Error!301 still continues to search for a solution to the dilemma he’s placed himself in, though on the contrary, with 808 running around, it at least gives him something to do while also making his life a little more interesting. Over time however, 301 did start to grow weary of the form he had been given when he had been created, so with this, he decided to alter his appearance entirely, leaving his former skeletal self behind, completely renewing himself into something he could truly express himself as. With this altered appearance, 301 was able to take 808 by surprise and stop attempts to wipe out the Universes far in advance, though of course, 808 did eventually catch on though it took awhile due to his horrible memory.

## Personality

Sometimes, it’s hard to tell what 301’s motives are. It’s obvious that he was created by the Database as a defense mechanism, this being why his goal is to exterminate 808, yet he sometimes doesn’t follow the ideas that support his creation. 301 is a rather passive entity and is actually pretty friendly, unlike his counterpart 808. 301 almost always wishes the best for everyone around him. Oftentimes, 301 will spend his spare time reading or simply watching over the Manicverse, though this is very rare due to how large the Manicverse truly is, though it’s never really an issue for him. 301 doesn’t complain about much either and always tries to look on the brighter side of each situation. Error!301 is quite the approachable character too, as he’s always willing to help someone in need. He’s aware of the affiliations that come with having “error” in one’s name, though because of this, it only adds to his motivation to strive to be better.

301 isn’t really someone to get angry in general, and if he does it’s usually for a good reason. However, when angry, he’s more or less pretty passive aggressive about a lot of things unless he’s flat out furious. Typically, he’ll get a little sarcastic while also showing plenty of irritation toward whoever or whatever is bothering him. As time progresses and his annoyance isn’t maintained, this is typically when 301 starts getting snappy. He typically is known for being able to keep a level head in most situations, which is why if he’s mad, annoyed, irritated, he’s almost like an entirely new person. And finally, there’s how he acts when he’s straight up furious. It usually takes a lot to get 301 into such a mindset, though once he’s there, it’ll most likely be awhile before he cools off. While not acting irrational, he’s mainly just very harsh on anyone and everyone around him. If it’s someone he dislikes (such as 808), he won’t hesitate to enact more violent thoughts compared to his usual, more passive self, who most likely would only consider these thoughts, most certainly not enacting them.

While 301 may be gullible in terms of trusting people, for the first time that is, he’s actually extremely intelligent. Given he was created directly from the Database itself, which houses every strand of code, and every bit of information in the Manicverse, 301, similar to 808 does have access to all this information, though unlike his virus counterpart, 301 tends to use this knowledge for good. Almost everything 301 does has good intentions behind it, even if it’s executed the wrong way, as in the end, he is still just an anti-virus, the only difference from him and all his previous brethren that had been created by the Database is that he managed to gain sentience. With this sentience, it came at the price of emotions, which is typically a good thing, but when given the task to quite literally eradicate someone from the face of existence, emotions do tend to get in the way of such a daunting task. In conclusion, 301 is a rather emotional entity and does prefer expressing himself through words, in most cases.

## Abilities

### Duplication

A rather useful ability that 301 has learned how to manage to his benefit. If 301 so desired, he could duplicate not only himself, but also objects of sizes of all sorts. If 301 were to use this ability to duplicate himself, he’ll maintain his standard power level, the first two clones matching his power, though after the second duplicate, they’ll slowly grow weaker and weaker with each one that’s summoned. An alternative option for this is that 301 can distribute his power amongst hundreds, if not, thousands of duplicates, each one being just as powerful as his standard self, though 301 himself will be significantly weakened until the duplicates are removed. There really isn’t a limit to what objects 301 can duplicate, as long as they’re weaker than himself, as for objects that are stronger than him, he may be able to duplicate fragments or parts of said object.

### Life Drain

A pretty straight forward ability, but 301 can siphon the HP, stamina, and magic from an opponent’s vessel. In order to do so, 301 will unleash a barrage, often ranging from 10-50 string-like projectiles, these strings being so thin that they appear nonexistent to the naked eye. Once having struck his opponent, 301 will begin to inflict a form of karma onto them, the rate it works at depending on the LV, status and overall power of the entity. Anything that 301 siphons he can use freely, meaning he can use the stolen stamina to restore his own, heal himself, or even turbo-charge his magic. On the other, 301 can reverse the effects, meaning he can give others his own health, stamina, magic, etc. The ability is rarely used in this matter, but the possibility is still there.

### Maintenance Check

If in a life-threatening situation, 301 can encase himself in a green aura. This aura slowly solidifies into a green bubble of sorts. While within the bubble, 301 will begin to regenerate or heal any wounds he might’ve experienced. This bubble however can be broken, though in most cases, to inflict any sort of damage onto the bubble, an entity would need to exert enough magic that equals to a Universal scale attack, however, another, and more efficient way would be to utilize code based abilities, as they have a higher chance of destabilizing the bubble, resulting in it exploding. 301 can cast this ability on most living beings along with objects as well as entire verses (as long as the verse is Multiversal or below).

### 301 Ray

If he so desired, 301 could unleash a singular, decently large ray from his fingertips or palm. This ray acts as a far quicker, yet slightly weaker version of the Error 301 button. With this ability, 301 can practically erase anything it comes in contact with, furthermore, there’s a chance that this ray will temporarily send binary shockwaves through living entities, this resulting in a form of paralysis that typically lasts anywhere from thirty seconds to about five minutes. 301 can also cast this ability in the form of a spread-shot, meaning he can fire smaller, yet just as powerful rays from each of his fingertips instead of strictly his index finger. These rays are also capable of burning through objects that range anywhere from being on the atomic level to being able to rip through entire Universes, potentially even Multiverses.

### Singularity

301 has the capability to overcharge a singular point in existence. This singular point will start off small, however, will begin to exponentially grow and increase in mass, density, and power. The only thing keeping the high amounts of concentrated energy in check is 301, so whenever he desires, he could force all the built up energy to discharge simultaneously, the spherical shape which the energy had formed will then collapse in on itself, thus resulting in a black hole, or what appears to be a black hole, to form. After having formed, the black hole will begin to change to a mixture of green and yellow, the energy having been used to create it growing more and more unstable until finally the black hole itself begins compressing itself down all the way back into a singularity, this singularity then rapidly expanding outward in the form of an explosion that has the capabilities to level entire Multiverses at most.

### Chains of the Database

301 can cast large chains whenever he wishes. With these chains, he can restrict most, if not all forms of movement, this including most forms of instantaneous movement, such as teleportation. The code these chains consist of are capable of sending microscopic shockwaves through an entity’s vessel, similar to the 301 Ray, these shockwaves will cause a form of paralysis, however, after having been stunned, the chains will lose this effect, and while the opponent may remain stunned, they’ll also begin having their health and stamina drained. 301 can only drain up to 80% of his opponent’s stamina or health, however, he can’t drain 80% of each. For example, 301 could drain 50% of his opponent’s health, and 30% of their stamina. These chains can also be used in close-quarters combat, given 301 can mold and shape the chains to how he sees fit.

### Code Manipulation

Similar to most errors or glitches, 301 can manipulate code. While his manipulation over code isn’t absolute, there’s still plenty that he can achieve with these capabilities, altering and changing code to an extent and using it to his advantage whenever necessary. Typically, 301 will cast neon green strings from his fingertips to latch onto the code of objects and entities, this allowing him more direct control over what code he wishes to use.

#### Binary Rupture

Usually if large clusters of code are present, 301 can manipulate these clusters to create highly destructive bombs. These “bombs” typically will react to the first physical object they come in contact with, the destruction really varying depending on the amount of code that’s within the cluster. With this ability, 301 can also simply rip apart or destroy code when he feels necessary, though this is rarely the case.

#### Binary Construct

Opposed to his ability Binary Rupture, 301 can also create objects of all sorts using code. 301 can either use his own code, the code of anything, or anyone nearby, or even code from a nearby source (these sources being either verses or realms typically). Under most circumstances, whenever code is used, 301 can only sustain the formation of the objects created for so long due to the strands of code being vastly different from one another, as the strands of code could either link well, allowing 301 to have a far easier time sustaining the object, or the strands may not cooperate so well, this of course creating difficulties.

### Multiversal Meltdown

301 isn’t someone who typically glitches out, however, whenever he does, it usually isn’t a pretty sight. Due to 301 being an Anti-Virus created by the Database, the only times he tends to glitch out is when his vessel or code has been compromised by some outside source, thus initiating a defensive protocol that the Database instilled within 301. He’ll begin to absorb immense amounts of code, typically, the amount of code 301 absorbs will be equal to the amount of code that’s used to construct an entire Multiverse. Usually at this point, 301’s vessel struggles to keep up with the constant intake of code, so in return, he’ll gain an immense powerboost, meaning he’ll exert more magic and power into his attacks to help rid his vessel of the excess code, though this process is only effective for so long. After a certain amount of time, or if 301 wishes, he’ll discharge every strand of code that he had absorbed, thus creating an explosion that’s not only highly radioactive, yet can also level entire Multiverse Clusters.

### [C.O.D.E.D.T.O.R.E.A.L.I.T.Y.]

One of 301’s most powerful attacks, which takes the form of a button. 301 is capable of altering the very reality that he’s dormant within. Typically, 301 can’t impact those within said reality if they’re beyond a Universal scale with this button, though he’ll be able to manipulate principles, physics along with most constructs that help the reality remain stable. This ability is really only used to help neutralize more powerful threats, as the alterations that 301 can make to reality would prove to make it unstable, which could result in the entire Reality collapsing.

### [ERROR 301]

Another ability that 301 has which also takes the form of a button, this ability, in simple terms, allows him to “permanently move” objects, entities, etc. While the Error code 301 typically does mean permanently moved, the button essentially just deletes anything that it’s used on. The range of influence this button has stretches from being as small as subatomic particles, to being as large as entire Multiverses, however, it’s rarely used on more than a Universal scale. Typically, when something is erased, it’ll be transported into the depths of the Database, which essentially acts similar to that of the Void. Once in this Void-like space, objects will begin to deteriorate or break down, almost as if they were decomposing, until they’ve been reduced to nothing but code. Here, this code will then be returned to the Database.

## Weaknesses

Despite being an anti-virus, 301’s code is still prone to infection, as well as system malfunctions. Another thing to note is that when experiencing extreme emotions, 301 may tend to glitch out, which could result in him crashing, taking absurd amounts of damage may also cause a similar effect. 301 can also be easily distracted and manipulated, as he’s pretty trusting, especially when it comes to those he hasn’t met or heard about. 301 isn’t that great when it comes to long-distance combat either, as he prefers to be relatively close to his foes when fighting.

## Relationships

Error808: 301 was created to essentially destroy 808, given he’s a virus, this would explain why 301 is an anti-virus. While the two glitches do fight quite often, there have been a few occasions where they’ve been forced to fight together to oppose a greater threat.

Starlight!404: 301 finds this variation of Error!404 interesting to say the least. Their relationship isn’t anything special, as 404 obviously finds 301 somewhat annoying, yet in the end, 404 somehow manages to tolerate 301.

Encryption: The two have met on several occasions, though nothing has really happened between the two. While 301 would view Encryption as a friend, Encryption views him more as an ally than a friend, perhaps this’ll eventually change in the future.

## Trivia

* Forgotten absolutely loves cake. There's no real specific reason as to why, but he took a major liking to cake (specifically red velvet) and will eat it whenever he gets the chance.
* 301 is exceptionally good at chess along with several other board games.
* While 301 no longer is technically considered a Sans, he can still however revert himself back to his original, or more skeleton/Sans-like appearance, though this appearance is used quite rarely, if at all.
