Webdings Courier is one of the major antagonists of the entire roleplay, and serves as the primary antagonist of the Courier Trilogy of plots, including Reality Check, Bad Faith and Halcyon

He is technically the 'original' incarnation of W.D Gaster.

## Profile

### Appearance

Courier is a particularly tall skeleton Monster, not unlike his alternate selves, Wingdings Gaster and Pre-Retcon Gaster. He wears a dull purple coat with a fur trim on the neckline and the sleeves, Underneath, he wears grey pants, a black button up shirt and black office shoes. His left eye is green, while his right eye is purple, The right side of his face is notably damaged thanks to a prior fight with Chara. It is noted that he has a heavy association with these two colors, even choosing to write in said colors when granted the opportunity to.

### Personality

Being a primary antagonist, he is cunning, intelligent and manipulative, having pitted Serenity and Aldur against each other for the purpose of tearing a gateway into the Pre Retcon Reality. He views life other than his own as completely insignificant and worthless- viewing only himself and Uriel as 'real and authentic.'

His self awareness of his false reality has given him a distorted and twisted worldview- although he was not always a cruel and heartless man, having once shown kindness to the likes of Janice back in the days of Unrevisa.

He is not entirely heartless- he truly did value Uriel; shown when he took back an old photograph the Heroes found in his old apartment.

There is a possibility he does not view himself as entirely evil, having once stated during Reality Check Chapter 3: Amaxophobia, that "If you were in my shoes, you'd walk the same damn miles I do." although, his later actions seem to contradict this thought, This was eventually cleared up, with his motive having been revealed during a conversation with Alexander to be wanting to purge control from The Observers so himself and those who exist within the narrative of When Worlds Collide can exist with true, untethered free will- to truly be free of a narrative. He firmly believes himself to be in the right on this- believing the ends justify the means.

## History

### Unrevisa

Little is remembered about his time in Unrevisa- both due to the out of character lack of documentation and in character amnesia and the lack of any real Unrevisa era characters being present.

During this time, he was an ally to the Heroes. It is hard to say if he was actively malicious during this timeframe, as his actions were known to contradict quite frequently.

### Early WWC

Although minor, he had a presence and a short lived on screen appearance early on in the Modern Era, The contents of said scene are no longer important and have been functionally rendered non canon, but his presence within the story remains canon.

It is also during this timeframe he had a short fight with Chara that resulted in his current major head injury.

### During Reality Check

As his status as main antagonist of Reality Check, he was consistently and actively present, having tasked Aldur with taking the Auras of every Drez'ean he reasonably could with the ultimate goal of creating The Cluster. Although, he didn't idle around during this timeframe, having put the Cursed Wave into place and encouraged the spread of the Glitching.

Most of his time was spent attempting to create artificial recreations of Drez'ean Aura that Aldur could not retrieve.

Some other noted events during this timeframe are his creation of Fenavantia and sealing away the majority of Scorzon's power.

### Post-Reality Check

After Reality Check's events, Courier mysteriously vanished without a trace after the final confrontation with The Cluster. While his exact whereabouts aren't known, it is known by the Heroes that he is planning something- even if they aren't quite certain what.

## Relationships

### Uriel

His relationship with Uriel, in the distant past, is implied to have been a romantic one, although one that was particularly unhealthy and abusive. Even now, Courier still cares deeply for Uriel, keeping tabs on them when possible and actively attempting to find them for quite some time.

Most of their past is still shrouded in mystery- with Courier refusing to comment and Uriel being hesitant to talk about it.

### Viola

Viewing her as a weapon of mass destruction rather than a person, he views Vacuum Decay and her alters as his magnum opus- thinking she is a flawless creation capable of incredible destruction- the perfect solution to an otherwise unsolvable problem, that being the Heroes themselves.

He is actively trying to regain control over Vacuum Decay, even during her time at the Traveler's Retreat.

### Aldur Ishihrsa

Pretending to view and care for Aldur as though he were a son, he truly viewed Aldur as nothing more than a pawn to his ultimate goals, having quickly discarded him once he proved no longer useful at the end of Reality Check, supposedly killing him with a Gasterblaster the second after his confrontation with Serenity ended.

### Chara

His connection with Chara during the time of Unrevisa is shrouded in mystery, with Chara refusing to talk about it, It is unknown what happened between these two during this timeframe for that reason- although the implications aren't great.

Courier, in modern day, views him as an active threat to his goals, wanting to eliminate him as soon as physically possible before he can dismantle more of his work, It is implied that Courier may actually fear Chara's pure destructive capabilities, having likely faced the true extent of his power at some point in the past.

## Capabilities and Powers

### Command Bar Usage

His most notable power- one that he obtained through means still not made clear, he has the capacity to alter any aspect of his fictional reality by directly manipulating the code of the world, having been shown to inflict status effects upon his enemies, seal away their power, create objects and resize them freely, create planets from thin air, and most notably seen with Pre-Retcon Gaster, erase people from existence entirely by deleting their .chr file.

The true power of the Command Bar has yet to be seen.

### Telekinesis

Being an iteration of Gaster, he has access to Telekinesis and other various powers typically associated with the Skeletons.

### Limited Aura Manipulation

As said above, due to his status as an iteration of Gaster, he has limited control over most people's Aura, being able to fling them to the side by making them blue or immobilizing them completely.

### Bones

He can create bones, change their colors, create Gasterblasters and use them as Sans, Papyrus or his other variations would.

## Trivia

* During RC's initial concept writing phase, Courier was not the main antagonist and was actually originally written to be a one off joke character.
* Courier is the modern day incarnation of Unrevisa Gaster, the first interpretation of the character roleplayed during the Classic Era. This interpretation has become controversial in the modern day era of the group, with some very poor writing decisions having been made and a lot of bad things happening both in roleplay and out of roleplay due to the physical age of the people participating in the roleplay at the time.
* During his initial writing, two songs in particular were used as the main inspiration for his character and personality, Laplace's Angel by Will Wood and the Tapeworms, and Goliath's Throne by DAGames, with the character having quoted the former song at one point during the actual roleplay.
* He is based upon a number of tropes, most notably the 'Moral Event Horizon' and 'Fallen Hero' tropes.
* One of his other inspirations was X-Tale Gaster.
