**Papyrus** is the brother of Sans and a major character in *TS!Underswap*. He works as an inventor, assisting his brother in his work as Crossbones.

## Profile

### Appearance

Papyrus is a tall skeleton who wears a red and white hoodie with the Delta Rune emblazoned on the back, along with blue shorts and red high tops.

### Personality

Papyrus has a goofy, quirky personality, like his *Undertale* counterpart. He also seems to be flamboyant and possibly narcissistic, as he was upset over not having made an appearance in the demo, as revealed in the credits. After being comforted by his brother by saying this would mean he would have a grand entrance, he is excited and spins out of view, showing a hyper persona as well.

Papyrus appears to be quite generous, as he tends to help others, even designing and inventing gadgets for Crossbones to use.

Despite his self-absorbed personality, Papyrus does acknowledge what others have achieved, as he is proud of his brother's heroic duties as a vigilante despite his brother's laziness frustrating him at times.

## Main Story

Papyrus is commanding Crossbones over what he does, and blames him for the ruined painting.

He and Crossbones were captured by Muffet, the protagonist fighting her. Later in the battle, Papyrus grabs a bone for Muffet's pet to free the both of them.

He rescues Crossbones from the Boogiemen with a gaslight bomb.

He and Crossbones are not willing to go any further by the line from Boogiemen, because Crossbones is behind the line.

Papyrus is later seen in Starstruck Village in the beginning of the area, then seen with Sans and Asriel on the signature giveaway and then seen on the end of the area informing the protagonist about their enemy.

They are seen after when Crossbones' dialogue passes to have him their words about having let the protagonist go, and commands Crossbones to actually fight with the protagonist.

They can be also seen in hidden Sans' house, editing the montage of Crossbones' battle, but also saying about if something haunts the protagonist, eventually bait and switching with Sans doing the cause.

After the Crossbones battle, he is seen in Sans' punishment shack when hanging out, playing a videogame with him.

Papyrus later seen in Crystal Springs, saying about Alphys and helping the protagonist move forward.

## Trivia

* His current design was inspired by lead-namari.
* Rather than having a cigarette like his classic Underswap counterpart, he has a lollipop in his mouth. Originally a joke reference, it later became part of the design. This was also due to how smoking is uncharacteristic of Papyrus.
* His lollipop has the flavor of his favorite food, oatmeal with dinosaur eggs.
* Papyrus's jacket was a gift from Undyne, as a keepsake from his time working as part of the Royal Science Division.
* Papyrus is familiar with Muffet, and even though he finds her creepy, he has purchased goods from her Spider Scouts.
* Instead of aiming to join the Royal Navy, he decided to become a member of the Royal Science Division in order to help monsterkind through his inventions.
* He helps Crossbones by developing trinkets and gadgets as technological support when the vigilante's fighting crime.
* Their mail box consists of alot of Koffin-K messages in his mail box trying to get them free with a bunch of their messages in, shared with Sans sending a few to them.
