Dust sans

Madtime

### Backstory

In the original progression of Undertale, the player's interactions with the underground dictates how Sans behaves. This means that he changes depending on the "route" that a player runs: Neutral, True Pacifist or Genocide.

This storyline follows the possibility of the player abusing their ability to reset the timeline to repeat the Genocide Route as many times as they want.

Sans the only character that shows awareness of the player's ability to reset time and revive themselves after death. In this take, it is that same acute sensibility that causes Sans to realize the underground has been reset and slaughtered repeatedly.

His response to this realization is to beat the player to the punch; he slaughters the entire underground himself, including his brother Papyrus, with the intent to gain enough power to stop the player from completing another Genocide Route.

This series of actions drives Sans to madness, causing him to hallucinate the specter of his deceased brother.

### Appearance

Murder!Sans's appearance slightly deviates from the original design. He wears a blue hoodie with a grey hood, of which he keeps up, black shorts with white lining and a pair of gray slippers. His bad time eye is the only thing that truly differs, having changed color from a blue and yellow to a blue surrounded by red and even having a second red magic eye. He is usually depicted as having grey dust coating his clothing.

### Personality

Murder!Sans is typically depicted as a deranged, unstable character with symptoms of severe schizophrenia. He displays little emotion besides that of desire to kill the player and seems willing to do anything to accomplish that goal. Additionally, he has an active auditory and visual hallucination of his dead brother Papyrus, of whom encourages Sans to keep down the same path he started on.
