Xerox is an alternate timeline version of sans. Created from a genocide timeline after being saved by his father W.D Gaster. Being an alternate version of Sans he does not differ that much from him. Only having noticeable differences due to his separate experiences. He is the brother of Papyrus (Although from an alternate timeline), and used to have the role of Judge

## Origin

Xerox was of course, an alternate version of Sans. Not from another universe, but a timeline. He had gone through the genocide route several times with the human.

Over and Over the human would kill him and everyone else. But he didn't remember this yet he still had a feeling it was happening. One day, his father appeared and told him he'd grant one wish of his.

Xerox wasn't the type of person to just accept something like that and ignored him. But he suddenly remembered one thing he wanted most

"I wish I could remember every timeline!" He shouted at the tip of his lungs without thinking. Gaster laughed "So be it...".

"Shit..." Xerox sighed realizing he made a big mistake accepting a deal with his father. Papyrus burst into his room a minute later

"ARE YOU OKAY BROTHER!?" He said worried

Xerox smiled "As always. Just reading a bit of Sherlock ***bones***"

Papyrus fumed "DANG IT SANS!" He left the room and slammed the door behind him.

"Night bro" Sans chuckled. That night Sans experienced every timeline there was, Genocide, Neutral, Pacifist, True Pacifist. He had experienced so many things, so many possibilities. But the pain of Genocide Timelines were horrible...Whether it'd be an alternate universe or a timeline from his own. It was always painful watching his friends die over and over again.

Finally he woke up after what felt like an eternity. Experiencing so many timelines gave him details on how to create AT Sanses whether it be him or others. As well as giving him insight on their personalities.

He didn't find this useful however, as he couldn't teleport to Timelines nor Universes. He shrugged it off and went outside. "Paps?" He called for his brother, that was when he was shocked back into reality.

'THE HUMAN!' He ran at full speed to the place he had seen Papyrus die so many times, but all that was left was his scarf and the human holding a knife, crying desperately.

"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU CRYING, YOU CAUSED THIS, YOU'RE TO BLAME" Sans wouldn't normally get so worked up, but seeing his brother or...not seeing him, struck him so hard he couldn't help but shout.

"B-Because I can't control my own actions!" The human cried more, her knife ready to strike

"Sans, kill me...please..." The human said as they jumped at him. However, Sans didn't fight back. It was hard to believe after all those deaths he experienced that night, for a kid to easily fight and kill like this after years of peace, he just couldn't believe it.

He let her stab him straight through the chest. Then clasped his arms around her torso.

"Sans..." She looked up at him, tears streaming down her face

"It's alright kiddo, I'll get you out of this mess. Whether it requires me dying 100 times or more." As Sans began to dust away, he saw the illusion of his father appear behind him. "Guess you came to watch me die, eh? Old geezer." He smirked.

Gaster giggled to himself "Did you forget your part of the deal?"

Xerox looked at Gaster like he spoke a foreign language.

"Oh, I suppose I didn't mention it. How rude of me." He smiled "You see, your end of the deal isn't a downside at all. I simply want you to allow me to give you a gift. And seeing as you already accepted, I'll be taking you now."

Xerox suddenly found himself in a black space. Nothing else was there but emptiness and his father.

"Welcome to the Rift my son." Gaster created a chair out of thin air "Here is the space between reality and fiction. Of course you can't access anything with your current abilities, and I can't just automatically give you everything you need to defeat every existing being." He paused for a second and chuckled at the thought "There are so many. Anyways, although I can't grant you infinite power with the snap of my fingers. I can at least give you the hammer to build the bridge."

Gaster walked up to Xerox and ripped his eyes straight out of their sockets "DAMN IT, I KNEW I COULDN'T TRUST YOU!" Xerox shouted

"Calm down. Your eyes aren't gone." Gaster rolled his eyes. Xerox realized he could see still, but now he saw 0s and 1s floating around Gaster.

"What you're seeing right now is my code. I gave you a little thing I like to call the Copying Eye. With this, you'll be able to copy the code of *almost* any being you can physically see. Go ahead, try copying my code right now, and no need to make any absurd actions. Simply thinking about it will be enough." Gaster said, sitting back on his chair. For once Xerox actually trusted his father and copied the code.

"HEY WHAT THE HELL!? I CAN SEE!" A voice exclaimed right next to him "What in the..." Xerox was speechless as 6 Wisps appeared around him. Green, Red, Blue, Teal, Orange, and Yellow.

"Ah, seems like you got a lucky pick. Although you don't have anything to contain it with." Gaster sighed and summoned a cup of coffee "You copied the six human SOULs I have contained in my Gaster Palms. Although having them in such a raw form like that may be troublesome."

"Well it seems my time with you is up. Goodbye son, I wish you the best." Gaster sent Xerox to a RESET timeline.

Xerox thought maybe he could save the human with his newfound power, but the only thing he gained was her ability to SAVE, and he couldn't even reload the file whenever he wanted, only when he died. And so, he decided to jump to another timeline separate from the UT universe right now AU jumping wasn't possible, when he figured out how to stop whoever was controlling Frisk, he'd return.

Of course as soon as he did he met the [AUTHOR] and thus began his journey.

## Profile

### Appearance

Xerox wears a blue hoodie with a gray shirt underneath. The collar of the hoodie is entirely made of soft fur that constantly shifts between each of the SOUL colors. Only choosing one specific color when a certain SOUL is being used (Ex: The fur will turn orange if Bravery is used and Red if Determination is used). He wears black shorts with one thick white line going vertically. He wears pink fluffy slippers and sometimes a fake mustache just for the fun of it. He is 4'11 and has white eyes when in his normal form, but in Unoriginal Time Mode one socket goes completely dark and his other eye begins to emit a fire that shifts through the SOUL colors. His eye also does the same but turns into one color when a specific SOUL trait is being used like his collar.

### Personality

Xerox is a chill guy. Often not getting pressed over serious matters, however, this tough exterior can be broken through the death of his loved ones. Since he's experienced them a countless number of times he can't keep going through it without a reaction. Due to this trauma he has a large fear of sleeping and often pretends to rest to make sure nobody close to him worries. He doesn't like to pressure others with his own issues, things related to him or things he caused. Whether that involves him potentially dying, he doesn't care.

## Abilities

### Trombone Playing

He plays the trombone extremely well. Often using it to release stress or to entertain friends.

### Puns

He can make "funny" puns. Although the only people who have ever laughed at this are Frisk, Toriel, and alternate versions of himself.

### Dodging

Xerox has dodging abilities far beyond his Classic self due to the increased Stats the SOULs give him.

### High Intelligence

Since he is still a Sans, he possesses intelligence on par with Science's

## Powers

### Normal

#### Gaster Blasters

He can use Gaster Blasters like always, however he can imbue the blasts with different SOUL traits and even combine them to create new effects. This is one of his favorite things to research as he has a whole binder filled with different equations and combinations to create a variety of attacks.

#### Bone Manipulation

He can summon bones and reinforce them using SOUL traits. Although this doesn't work the same as Gaster Blasters since the bones can only turn into a certain element. (Ex: Bravery Bones would turn into bombs, Justice Bones would increase in speed and attack the opponent like bullets)

#### Shortcuts

He can travel through spaces in a AU or AT unlike teleportation which allows someone to go anywhere. He can just walk through anywhere there is a boundary or emptiness.

#### Copy

He can copy the code of a being and input it into himself. If the code is corrupted he can still salvage it but only gains 40% of the original power, not only that but if a being is too powerful he cannot copy their ability, and even if he manages to he'll only gain 9% of its power.

#### Weapon Prowess

With the SOULs of the six fallen humans, he is able to use any weapon or combat style they were attuned with. Such as boxing or gunmanship.

#### SOUL Manipulation

He can turn someone's SOUL blue and manipulate their movement. (He doesn't like using this ability much as it makes him feel like a puppeteer.)

#### Karma

His attack's damage can be increased when fighting a person who has killed and can give them a lasting health depletion effect

#### Storyshift

He can switch a story into his POV and manipulate what happens for a brief amount of time. But this can only happen if the Author is conscious and connected with Xerox.

### Unoriginal Time Mode

#### Full Copy

He temporarily copies a small bit of code of every being in the nearby area. Allowing him to use whatever he copied for a certain amount of time.

#### Power-Up

All of his stats are significantly increased. Allowing him to attack more often and less cautiously

#### Karma Manipulation

He can forcefully give someone Karma, whether they killed or not. Making his attacks even stronger than they'd be normal with KR damage added on

## Relationships

### Discord Sans ("Disciple")

He's neutral with Discord, but Discord views him as a master and teacher just because he beat him once. And Xerox didn't even manage to copy the ability he wanted too.

### PLAYER (Enemy)

He figured out PLAYER was the one behind Frisk's manipulation. Even though there are many players, PLAYER is the only one who has been so genocidal. Xerox managed to transport PLAYER into the game using Discord, Dull, Paint, and Satisfied's power combined. Although he has no idea of PLAYER's current location

### Dull (Friend)

He thinks of Dull as a daughter almost. Often caring for her by giving her gifts and food, even though their first encounter was a violent one.

## Weaknesses

* Xerox does not control his own actions. While yes he can generally, certain SOUL traits can cause him to do things he doesn't want to do.
* Xerox still has the scar the human gave him. But it is directly on his SOUL now therefore making any attacks directly on his SOUL even more effective.
* Due to not sleeping much, Xerox can often lose focus or forget things. If he loses focus while in combat it can put him in serious danger.
* Xerox still has weak stats in his normal form and requires his health to go down a significant amount or his stamina to almost completely run out in order to activate Unoriginal Time Mode, therefore if one manages to hit him and completely empty his HP he will die and go back to his previous SAVE point. But the one who kills him also remembers the previous timeline and can manage to avoid things that happened.
* Xerox keeps everything to himself that he deems an issue. Therefore, making him an easy target as no one will help him if they don't get suspicious
* Xerox can't actually read code, so all of his abilities he copies aren't always what he aimed for.
* Xerox can only copy code from a being who is physically within his sight. So if someone hides or turns invisible, they can attack him and he can't copy their abilities without locating them with Storyshift, which can be prevented simply by temporarily disconnecting him with the Author who can be attacked using magic.

## Trivia

* Xerox learned his dance moves from Dancetale Sans and his singing from Swap (Don't ask if he's good at either)
* He can drink twice as much Ketchup as Classic Sans
* He prefers not to fight unless he's attacked first.
* Although he doesn't sleep, he still is very lazy. Often going on picnics with himself in the middle of a job or battle.
