Crypto

**Crypto** is the non-canonical ‘ship kid’ of Bill!Sans and Error404!Sans, he’s often nicknamed as Cri by those who are close to him. While he may be relatively young, he’s been viewed as a malevolent Out!Code destroyer, when in reality he’s someone who’s determined to garner the approval of both his ‘parents’ and have them view him as their child. Crypto was created from Bill’s curiosity of seeing how a son of him and Error404 would look like.

Despite Crypto having been known to be the offspring of the Bill and Error404, he was not biologically created from the two beings. Therefore, it is technically invalid to call him their son.

## Profile

### Appearance

Crypto is a monster with the physiology of a skeleton, with many glitches sprouting around his body. Most of his physical structure consist of regular white bones, with his hands having a variety of colors on them; his proximal phalanges are blue, while his middle and distal phalanges are yellow. He has yellow teeth, empty eye sockets, and blue pupils that are yellow in the middle that float in the center. There are also black outlines that somewhat resemble tears.

Crypto’s attire consists of a coat; black on the top that fades into white below, with yellow and blue accents along the way down. His black hood has a yellow outline that creates a triangle that’s empty on the inside, the bottom of the hood that ties it into the coat is outlined with yellow fur. He also wears a white dress shirt, black pants, and black shoes.

### Personality

Crypto is a highly energetic individual, who spends a lot of his time trying to validate himself as the son of Bill and Error404. He’s quite eccentric towards others, along with finding many things amusing. Crypto will usually try to mimic and copy the personality or way his father, Bill, may act; Bill is Crypto’s role model, and is also the one that he wants to validate himself to the most.

While he may try to act like his supposed ‘father’, Crypto doesn’t really enjoy wrecking havoc among the AUs. He hates it whenever someone is in pain, and is usually the one to want to help them, but due to him wanting to impress his parents, he tries to get over it and do the best he can at destroying others with a smile, despite not enjoying it at all.

He’s very playful, all in all, and loves to have fun with his friends. Though, he can be a people-pleaser at times, as well as being a pushover to those he likes. Crypto isn’t the type to stand up for himself to those that he considers as his friends that abuse him, and is quick to forgiving them, even though they don’t deserve it. Sadly, he’s also prone to peer pressure, which occasionally leads to him making bad decisions.

### Abilities

Due to being the ‘offspring’ of Bill!Sans and Error404!Sans, Crypto has been shown to be incredibly powerful when he wants to be. He’s essentially been passed down with the abilities of his parents; Bill having been the one to design him in the first place.

* **Gravity Manipulation**: An ability derived from Bill!Sans, Crypto has the power to manipulate the gravity of everything around him. This ability can also be somewhat used as telekinesis, as he is capable of moving objects; and entities, around. This ability can grant him the power of levitation; floating and flying in the air.
	+ **Teleportation**: Crypto is able to teleport himself from one location to another very easily, and quickly. He can create portals to teleport large groups of people, but he can also just simply teleport others with a quick snap of his fingers.
* **Reality Manipulation**: Crypto, being the ‘son’ of Bill!Sans, is capable of easily manipulating the fabrics of reality, along with being able to alter what is, and what isn’t possible. He can perform many impossible feats of power that defy the laws of physics and reality.
	+ **Time Warping**: Crypto is capable of warping time itself, and being able to travel back in time, and into the future. Although, this ability does give him a lot of headaches in the aftermath. Wielding this ability causes many glitches to appear onto Crypto.
* **Mental Manipulation**: Like Bill!Sans, Crypto is capable of altering the state of mind an individual is in; as well as tampering with another’s sanity to the point where the entity would go insane and off themselves. Crypto barely uses this ability, as he deems it as morally incorrect.
	+ **Mind Manipulation**: An ability he was designed with by Bill, Crypto has the power to control the minds of others, and can manipulate the dreams and thoughts of those around him. He’s able to make others hallucinate, and is also capable of seeing through their memories and altering them.
* **Osteokinesis/Bone Manipulation**: Crypto has the ability to summon bones out of thin air, and can manipulate the size and shape of those bones. He’s able to use this ability in a variety of ways. One of the main things he uses this ability for is for conjuring a bone-composed device that shoots out immense beams of energy.
* **Creation**: Although his creations may fade away after a few minutes of being created, Cryto has the power to essentially create oddities of all sorts as he pleases. This ability is one of his favorite ones to use.

## Backstory

Crypto doesn’t have much of a backstory to go off with, as he was just created on a whim by Bill!Sans out of his own desire to see what a son of him and Error404 would look like. Crypto, after being created, was eventually forgotten and abandoned by Bill, which led to him being alone for a long time. He was told by Bill to stay in an empty space he had created for them, before leaving.

Crypto, after a few years of waiting, decided to leave and try to find Bill again. After finding out that he was abandoned, instead of throwing a fit of rage and wanting to seek out his creator for revenge, Crypto instead aimed to earning Bill’s approval and attention.

## Relationships

### Bill!Sans (Creator)

Crypto is very caring, loving, and attentive to his creator; much to Bill’s amusement. He often acts like some sort of puppy following it’s owner wherever they go, and actively seeks to try and garner their attention for whatever reason. He can be very clingy to Bill, and will do everything he can to validate himself as Bill’s son.

Bill, on the other hand, doesn’t even care for the existence of this being he had created, and only stuck around with Crypto for pure entertainment. Bill just loves to manipulate Crypto, along with trying to ‘break’ him and get him to cry tears of pain and agony. He’s very sadistic with Crypto sadly.

### Error404 (Half Creator?)

Crypto, despite not even knowing who Error404 was initially, cares for them as much as he does for Bill. Error404 was disgusted at Bill trying to make a son between the two of them, and, naturally, disliked Crypto after realizing that they were the supposed ‘offspring’ Bill had nonchalantly informed him about. He has no intention to wanting to have Crypto as his son, and has little to no respect for Crypto at all.

On the other hand, Crypto very much intends to gain Error404’s approval on him becoming his ‘father’. He’s also very clingy to Error404; much to the latter’s dismay, and will always try to help him with whatever he needed.

### Vignette (Best Friend)

Vignette is Crypto’s best, and only friend that he’s ever made. The two relate to each other in some way, with Vignette wanting to be like Nightmare, and Crypto wanting to be validated as the son of Bill and Error404. The two would usually be seen destroying alternate universes, and are known to be a dynamic duo of some sort.

However, there is a darker side to this relationship than what most people see. Vignette, being soulless, is actually a very cruel, and sinister person that can and will take advantage of Crypto whenever she wants to. She’d usually use Crypto as a way to wreck havoc among AUs, along with forcing him to grant her immense power. While Vignette may act sweet towards Crypto, she could care less if Crypto had been murdered by her own hands.

Crypto, is sadly not able to stand up for himself in this friendship. Due to Vignette being his only friend, he will endure everything she’s done to him time and time again, and forgive her whenever she does something wrong. Crypto is also very nervous around Vignette; who in turn takes his fear as amusement. Despite his judgement, he still cares for her despite being scared of her.
