## Backstory/History (Pre-Team):

Dream always felt guilty and responsible for Nightmare corrupting and turning evil, and had always wanted to get revenge for his brother that he loved so dearly. But he knew that vengeance was dangerous and wrong.

One day, during a battle with Nightmare, his brother mentioned about how Dream couldn't understand the pain he was feeling. Dream felt horrible during the fight. He wanted to understand his "brother" and to help him as best he could. In hopes that he could make his brother feel better, Dream ate an apple from Nightmare's side of the tree.

Although originally, Dream would've never been able to corrupt due to the amount of positivity his existence itself, with the help of the large amount of negativity inside of him and the AU being flawed because of Nightmares corruption, the apple shattered Dream, leading to him becoming a version of himself that is possessed by the physical incarnation of his guilt and longing for revenge, turning just as his brother.

In SD!AU (2019 - present), the story began with Dream falling and hurt by Nightmare when his brother mentioned the past event (Dreamtale event) after they accidentally met up in an AU with am Genocide Run.

Dream snapped due to it, which eventually ended with him eating the apple.

Nightmare had pushed Dream to do so by pressuring him to take responsibility for the event instead of running away and hiding from it, and taunted him for it. After that event, Dream arrived at the already condemned Dreamtale, the place that used to be their homeland, and broke down in tears: hurt by the hallucinations of good memories, his anger and guilt towards Nightmare, the constant feeling of regret due to his brother's fate that haunted him constantly, and hatred at himself for not doing something about the things that happened to his brother, to Dreamtale, and the Multiverse.

He started to drown himself in his inner negative thoughts. He held an apple from his brother's corrupted, dying tree. Dream, lost in his guilt and sorrow, started to hear a man's voice, urging him to take a bite of the apple and exact revenge on those who had caused him and his brother such pain.

Soon after that, Nightmare managed to find Dream, and immediately became perplexed by the sturdy flow of negative emotions emanating from his brother. Alas, too late, Nightmare realized what was happening. Dream turned corrupted, being consumed by darkness, right in front of Nightmare's eyes. He had to watch, helplessly, as Dream became corrupted by his hatred. Dream had passed the point of no-return, drowned in hate and sorrow, from the corrupted apple and his horrid feelings.

## Formation Of Team (history):

Team Void was created by Sans/Dreamtale/Shattered Dream and co-founded by Nightmare Sans. After Dream Sans bit the apple and underwent the process if transforming into what we now know as Shattered or Shattered Dream, he rather quickly overpowered his brother Nightmare Sans. Shattered overthrowing their brother took over his group known as the 'Bad Sanses'. However this wasn't enough for Shattered as he saw beyond the reach of his brother's brother pathetic crew and sought out to form a bigger and better one.

## Appearance:

The early versions show Shattered!Dream as a taller person. He was also designated as a version of Dream Sans but covered in a black, sludge-like substance with golden highlights that resemble Nightmare's. The rounded parts of Dream's headband now come to sharp points. Shattered constantly has a smile on his face and tries to keep one constantly, yet unlike his brother his left eye isn't covered and he can see out of both as it isn't repelling negativity. His body despite being goopy isn't as such when shapeshifting, he can change the color of the goop when doing so too, yet his body when in base form is constantly surrounded by a golden outline.

## Personality:

Shattered is merciless and cold hearted at times, however this isn't constantly true, he was once dream and despite the corruption he has little slip ups from time to time where the old him comes through. These slip-ups aren't common but do happen and some are constantly such as him having an unnatural mercy towards animals and even refusing to hurt them sometimes. Shattered hates being called his dead name aka Dream, he can tolerate it once of twice, but doing over and over starts to piss him off and based off the way you use it he can straight up become hostile. He has abandoned his old life and memories of it becoming mature and carrying an aura of pure dread. Shattered!Dream overall is a psychopathic and violent person after being heavily impacted by the negativity, however he is able to feel as he does have a soul unlike his brother, yet his soul is corrupted, dark, and twisted. Shattered is bad-tempered and feels hatred for his brother for hating, blaming, and pushing him too far, until he got corrupted and has even more hatred for Ink who was supposed to be the 'protector of all universe' and the one who could have saved him if he wasn't such an selfish asshole. He distances himself from his team members a lot, yet some people have gotten close and thus Shattered pushed them aside, but he can't avoid some more powerful members such as Alphas as he constantly is around them but good for him most of them are cold hearted murders too.

## Abilities:

##### Negative manipulation

A long study of new abilities allowed the shattered to create matter from the negative, this matter is completely subject to him, he can control it, change its shape and strength, as well as create creatures out of it, he called the creatures themselves void monsters.

##### Void Parasites

this is one of the types of void monsters that can summon shattered, these are small pieces of negativity similar to slugs or worms, their main task is to crawl to the creature, as soon as they touch the creature's body, they instantly stick to the soul and begin to manipulate the creature, the infected creature will be always feel bad, but at the same time all his abilities increase, it is known that one who experienced them on himself was Underfell Sans.

## Weaknesses:

* He can be weakened by positivity
* He does have slip-ups and sometimes even mental breakdowns if something triggers an old memory of his and such which leaves him vulnerable
* If too enraged of overcome by emotions then he can enter a blind rage state
