## Biography/History

Ink came from a conceptual AU that never got off the ground. He’s the first and only character with a true soul; yet despite his best effort to improve the AU, he never got a reaction from the inhabitants. In a fit of despair, he destroyed his own soul; accidentally cause him to stumble into the blank void. There he became an emotionless being alone in the vast space of emptiness.

Eventually, an inkbrush (along with different kinds of paint) from an unknown artist fell into the blank canvas, each color imbuing him with feeling. After some time without color, though, he would revert to his emotionless self. Ink fixed this problem by filling vials with the colors that were splashed on him. It allowed him to pretend to have a soul, so that he could feel. Gradually, Ink used the colors from the creators to create the doodle-sphere.

## The Mistake Caused By Blindness

Ink!Sans and Dream weren't really friends, nor did he truly care for Dream as he saw them similar to everyone else. However he had attempted to get close to Dream because of how different he was, Dream had no code unlike the other beings he knew, however he failed to maintain a friendship from how different he was. When Dream fell into a deep darkness Ink felt as though they related to each other yet failed to comfort Dream instead only making him feel worse. Ink wasn't good at helping others from how selfish he was but nothing could've prepared him for Dream taking a bite of the apple.

## The actions of a coward

Dream becoming Shattered tipped the balance of emotions in the multiverse itself as no new life could even if rarely feel positivity. Ink had a panic attack and blamed himself and in panic he abandoned the doodle sphere and went into hiding in a secret area of Echotale where he constantly spoke to Alpha Sans. He left the doodle sphere open to all sorts of chaos and only after being reassured by Alpha did he return conveniently to the making of Team Hope which he happily accepted a position as leader on.

## The quest to start a new

Ink Sans knew some of the more powerful and trust worthy universes such as Othertale and The Thought. He went to many different universes saving them from the actions of Team Void in their early days but soon couldn't as the team rapidly grew in members and power. Ink recruited many people and decided to make his own branch of Team Hope in which he trains them and teaches them his skills, however, this did not work out well as many considered him to hardgoing, rude, and downright sometimes he would forget to actually train them and just have painting sections. He did however dispose of this idea but kept the ones who did stay under his wing and uses them as extra eyes to cover the doodle sphere known as the doodle patrol, but he also had the idea of stationing them as bait, but as predicted putting someone like seraphim in the middle of the doodle sphere while pretending sleep didn't work. Ink has had and experimented with many ideas that were both creative, stupid, and some just downright dangerous, but in the end he just told them it would be like Classic's royal guard which was the best he could come up with at the time. He lets them sleep in their universes and even lets them be stationed in different AUs which has come in perfect for random attacks as Ink's team does have a lot of freedom.

## Appearance

Ink oddly enough has black paint marks on his face that somehow don't was away but rather keep reappearing. His eyes constantly change with his emotion with the color being the general emotion, such as red being anger, but the shapes are more complex, such as a exclamation point being for danger or awareness. An example of this would be red eyes with the shapes of an exclamation point and caution sign when fighting Error from knowing how much damage Error can cause and being careful when fighting him. He wears a long-sleeved, white undershirt with a small brown jacket over it and his pants are actually overalls with the tops tucked into his waist. The legs are very wide at the bottoms, with creases around the legs. Many compare what he wears to one of an artist even though Ink himself doesn't think of it as such and simply what he likes to wear. Ink actually doesn't wear shoes either.

## Personality

Ink supports all kinds of art, like painting, literature, dance, music, etc. He is very passionate about art and likes to motivate characters and creators. He’s able to change clothes on people just by using his brush, or even create structures from the wet ink that flings from his brush. Even though he uses art as a tool, no one really saw his drawings or paintings as he doesn't like to show them to people unless you're considered a close friend. He is afraid of whiteness, of absence of presences or shapes around him, loneliness, huge empty spaces, being forgotten, and death.

Ink!Sans has a tendency to get too excited about things. He happens to sometimes randomly vomit ink, mostly when he gets too emotionally shaken, whether from passion or shock. He also has very short memory and will forget about different things - sometimes stopping mid-sentence to try and remember what he just said a few seconds before. This is why he takes notes on his scarf. His brush is shown having drawings of Blueberry/Swap and Dream as stick figures, this is an attempt of Ink trying to keep in touch and remember the good memories that have long pasted

Ink does not appear as a perfectly well-behaved character. He can be inconsiderate, or even downright mocking and cruel, with his opinions, and deep down he sees other characters as fake story characters and not as creatures like him. He tends to be somewhat detached from his emotions. With him hardly having a proper social understanding, he’s blunt in his teasing and mocking just like in his ability to give support and to be kind. He’s a mischief-maker, and pranks are his guilty pleasure. He's very fascinated by characters with no code, out-codes, and even characters such as Core who are non-existence. He does still try to treat all AUs the same but fails to do so, and simply can't bring himself to care for a piece of code speaking nothing but stript.

Ink approaches enemies carefully. He will never try to attack them first, but will mostly focus on trying to discover their motives, but unlike his canon counterpart he's grown less patient and instead tries to talk them down quickly and if not able he'll try to strike them down quickly. Ink mainly uses counters and long range attacks along with throwing pain, for he's very good at situational awareness and uses this often to his advantage such as firing ink blasters simply to get ink on the ground which he can then use later on

## Abilities:

Ink Manipulation: Allows him to change and form many different objects from Ink, however, this isn't just limited limited to objects as he can summon and create things such as clones of Ink

Broomie: His paint brush which is shown to be very durable only being broken by Error and using it to throw and summon Ink

Ink Morphing/Body: He is able to morph and change himself into Ink at will and can use this to dodge certain attacks

Teleportation: Self-explanatory

Ink Blasters: Similar to a regular gasterblaster however these are composed and fire high amounts of Ink

Ink Bones: Bones composed of Ink

Script Reading: Similar but isn't code reading. He can read the stript of Undertale's AUs along with the inhabitants of them even if they are outside of the AU. This allows him to know the words they'll say, their actions, and their faiths. However unlike code reading he doesn't know everything such as their entire personality and attacks but rather everything they do such as attack patterns but oddly enough beings without code do have stript, yet this does not apply to uncontinued AUs,

Ink Hopping: He can hop and travel anywhere via Ink which acts sorta as portals or worm holes as even if an area doesn't have Ink he can still appear there leaving behind a puddle of Ink where he entered which he is able to travel back through or simply make another.

Regeneration: This happens two ways as he naturally has it, regenerating from the very destruction of his own soul, and being able to simply replace organs with Ink

Color Manipulation: Able to give things color or take the color away from things with Broomie

Life and Timeline/Universe Creation: Ink created the doodle sphere itself which holds infinite universe, but however, he did not create every universe or timeline but instead brought life to it. The universes were created by their creators but were given life by Ink.

Avatar Creation: He is able to create characters from alternate universes, similar to his canon counterpart's canon battle, these are summoned from his colored Ink and do have a few different features such as ink on them or sections blocked out by Ink. He can summon a maximum of two at a time however their durability is poor as they can be beaten by Error with ease, however, Ink fights along side them and they do have good teamwork
