Sans

"do you wanna have a bruh time?"

**Sans** is one of the main characters of Epictale. They are Gaster's son, Papyrus' brother, and the Royal Scientist of the Underground.

## **Personality**

He *loves* to say "Bruh", oftentimes replacing words with it. He's generally laid-back and casual, similar to Classic Sans. In the right conditions, he becomes a nerd comparable to that of Alphys. Sans tends to be a huge flirt to anyone he finds cute. Whenever he's around his best friend Cross (From Xtale), he often engages in meme-related antics.

However, when the situation calls, he can be serious and shows uncharacteristic maturity when doing so, despite the omnipresent appearance of his favorite phrase "bruh". He'll fight for those he cares for, even at the cost of his own life.

In the original story, Sans was a fusion of himself and Gaster (source of his scar). His personality was a mix of both Gaster and Sans. To be specific, 90% Sans and 10% Gaster.

In the reboot, he's mostly the same, except he isn't fused with Gaster at all. His role stays mostly the same.

## **Appearance**

Sans wears a black and purple long-tailed trench coat that has a Half-Soul and white ribbon on its back. He wears black gloves that allow his skeletal fingers to show. For his bottoms, he wears black striped pants that are tucked into his boots.

Like Classic Sans, his eyes are typically simple white pupils. These pupils can also disappear completely.

A magical purple eye can also manifest in his left eye socket. While Sans does demonstrate the ability to form it from his own will, it can also appear by itself when he's emotionally unstable or focused.

## **Abilities/Powers**

### **Purple Eye Abilities:**

#### **Epic Blasters**

Sans is able summon large dragon-like skulls that fire large blasts of magical energy. Originally, they were just like Classic Sans' Gaster Blasters. After Epic's upgrades, they've become the Epic Blasters.

Epic Blasters create balls of energy before seemingly firing it out as a beam. These blasters function similarly to that of Classic Sans' blasters, but on a more destructive scale - they have *far* more power. When three are fired into the same area, it creates a blast comparable to that of a mini-**nuke**, as it *dwarves* the trees found in Snowdin. The Epic Blasters can turn while firing as well, so they can chase down targets with their beams (which seemed to *curve* as they turned).

They also have more utility than normal Gaster Blasters, as they have been seen being used for ramming *and* biting. Sans was also shown to *kick the* balls of energy from his Epic Blasters. As stated by Yugo, these balls can even be used as a Rasengan of sorts.

On top of that, when three blasters are combined *prior* to being fired, they combine into a beam much stronger and concentrated as opposed to only firing one. The destructive power of this blast is unknown, as the effects on its surroundings, nor its scale, were not shown to us.

#### **Bone Manipulation/Bone Magic**

He has the ability to summon bones from surfaces or thin air, to stab, beat, or trap his foes.

After his Purple Eye was taken, Sans either made no effort to use this power, or was simply unable to.

#### **Blue Magic**

Sans possessed blue magic, which allows the user to teleport themselves or forcefully move around souls with telekinesis.

Sans was able to use the telekinetic elements of blue magic without having to use his hands whatsoever. Moreover, it seems he's able to use it in fast succession, as well as do a significant amount of damage with it (>1 Damage).

Whether or not Sans can teleport his victim like Classic Sans in his last phase is not stated.

After his Purple Eye was taken, Sans either made no effort to use this power, or was simply unable to.

#### **Cheat Death/Immortality**

Due to his magic eye, he was unable to die. If you *are* able to kill him, he will always be back in an instant. Until the eye is taken, Sans could not truly die.

### **Natural Abilities:**

#### **Magic Absorption**

Through the holes in his hand, Sans was able to absorb magical blasts, such as blasts from his own Epic Blasters. Then, he was able to fire back the energy he obtained in a beam. It also seems that it empowers the energy it obtains, at least, if Sans wasn't bluffing.

Not much is known about this ability. Its limits are unknown.

#### **Impressive Agility**

Sans was able to dodge close-ranged weapon slashes. However, the extent of his agility is unknown. Sans was seen dodging numerous consecutive slashes by Gaster!Frisk, who wielded a stick imbued with determination (?). The power and speed of these swings are unknown.

#### **Karmic Retribution (?)**

Sans has the ability to place a poison-like effect on his opponent. Whether or not this is actually Karmic Retribution is not stated.

Since Sans was unable to land a hit on Gaster!Frisk after losing his Purple Eye, we don't know whether or not this ability works without the eye.

#### **Expression Reading**

Sans is able to read the expressions of others and accurately gauge their intentions. This allows him to determine whether or not someone has reset, or how many times they've reset.

#### **Extra Information**

During his battle with Gaster!Frisk, he demonstrates an impressive level of creativity, skill, and reaction time. This is most likely due to his dreams. In layman's terms, he has over ***20 YEARS*** of battle experience. He had to endure intense battles in his nightmares ***every** **single night*** for *who-knows-how-long*. Subsequently, he is one of the most experienced Sans' in the multiverse for his age and universe.

However, despite granting him a lot of abilities, his eye also is his greatest weakness. If Gaster were to catch him off-guard and forcibly take his eye, he would lose many of his abilities, like his ability to cheat death. (Gaster and Yugogeer012 themselves are the *only* people who could remove a magic eye. Sans himself spent *years* trying to remove it in futility.)

Oh, he also occasionally uses a rubber chicken for melee attacks.

### **Battle With Cross:**

(Take all this with a grain of salt, as this entire comic was made purely for fun)

#### **Enhanced Strength**

He is seen clashing against Cross with a rubber chicken, putting a crack in the ground. The force needed to even do that with a *rubber chicken*...

#### **Staggering Durability**

Sans is seen enduring a blast from Cross completely unscathed. This blast causes a large explosion; one large enough to be seen from outer space. The blast also seems to be sending shock waves throughout at least half the *entire* *planet*.

#### **Martial Arts...?**

Sans is seen doing a 'Karate Kick!' to kick a rubber chicken out of Cross' hand.

#### **The Power Of God And Anime**

As he "***BOI***"s Cross, a wave of energy is ejected from his hand. This raw power of this blast is not known, but it is seen clashing against Cross' Hyper Shield (Dab), creating shock waves. Upon adding his other hand, this blast is strengthened, completely overpowering Cross.

## **History**

### **Original Story**

Due to unknown circumstances, he ended up fusing with Gaster. When the original comic picks up, Sans is the royal scientist and uncle to Asriel (due to having been Asgore's childhood friend). It's insinuated he got Tori and Asgore together because he's referred to as the king's wing-man. Just before his battle with a possessed Chara, he creates the Epic Blasters.

(Insert more info here)

The first stage of the comic ends with his death and the erasure of the monster kingdom at the hands of Neutral!Frisk, a version of Frisk that controls six other human souls. Neutral!Frisk resets after killing both Asriel and Chara, and the second arc of the comic starts with a redesigned and perhaps younger Sans meeting a naive Frisk.

### **Remake**

The New Timeline/Mini reboot starts with Gaster assaulting and taking Frisk's soul in an attempt to wipe out humanity but is ultimately fatally wounded by Frisk's determination. Gaster instead takes Frisk's soul and goes into hiding, leaving no traces to be found. Later, it is found that he was hiding in a hidden lab found in Snowdin, being assisted by G Followers. Since Frisk had previously promised Sans that they'll never reset, they could not reset to undo this incident, despite wanting to and being justified to do so.

In a side comic called "No Pain No Gain", Yugo reveals that Sans received his magic eye from Gaster through experimentation, unlike Papyrus, who had it since birth. Through this eye, he gains the ability to use Bone Magic, control Gaster Blasters (Which were later upgraded into Epic Blasters), use blue magic, and essentially become unable to die. On top of that, the eye gets stronger every time Sans fights.

    However, these perks came at a cost; since the eye given to him by Gaster rejected him, he would get nightmares every night where he would battle mysterious creatures. The longer he battled, the longer he slept. Since his eye feeds on his experiences, both he and the creatures got stronger every time Sans battled. The pain, whenever he got injured in these dreams, was excessively realistic. Eventually, these nightmares got to him and he tried in every way to remove his eye. In fact, the scar located on his left eye socket is a result of it. In time, he eventually learned how to cope with it, gaining his concerningly casual attitude. 6 years later; After resisting for so long, Frisk runs out of determination and Gaster successfully fuses with Frisk. As he does, Sans infiltrates the secret lab but was too late to prevent the fusion. Before Frisk is gone, they have a conversation with Sans, ending with Sans reassuring them that "We'll reach out to you". As Frisk is lost to the darkness, Sans finds himself in what seems like the Final Corridor/Judgement Hall with Gaster!Frisk, the completed fusion.

    After a brief conversation, Sans attacks Gaster!Frisk, to which Gaster gets annihilated. Gaster loads a file and prepares to do battle with Sans once again. He summons a stick, and swings at Sans, forming a crevice in the ground. Sans barely dodges and prepares for the real fight. After a brief battle, Gaster is once again killed and loads a save file again. Gaster tries again but dies once more. In a fit of determination, his soul refuses to die and engages Sans in a battle once again. He dodges and misses, but is able to eventually catch Sans off guard. Gaster enters his tiny top hat and as it approaches Sans from behind, his arm emerges from the top hat and Gaster is able to steal Sans' magical eye, rendering Sans useless. Gaster, using Sans' blasters, offers Sans a chance to give up and live in exchange for letting Gaster pass, but Sans refuses.

        Gaster charges up the Epic Blasters and fires. Sans is relieved to *finally* die, but, upon remembering Frisk, pulls the ace up his sleeve and absorbs the blast. However, Gaster has his own trump card; He has 3 Epic Blasters combine their energy prior to firing, increasing their firepower. Sans takes his last stand and gets in a stance every seasoned anime fan would recognize - the one and only: The Kamehameha. Sans and Gaster charge up their respective beams and fire. The beams unite in a blinding beam clash, sending tremors all throughout Snowdin. Their beams continue to strengthen, each side powering up just a bit more. But in the end, Gaster prevails, and Sans is engulfed in the blast. As his soul cracks, he reassures Frisk one last time and apologizes to his brother.

*His very last words were:*

*"ngl I would've whooped his wingding ass if he didn't steal my glowing eye bruh-"*
