## Biography

Sans and Papyrus, two skeletons that seemingly showed up out of nowhere one day. The two brothers were almost always bickering with one another, mainly due to how lazy Sans was, which conflicted with his brother’s motives to capture a human to join the royal guard. Sans’ laziness only resumed while Papyrus did everything in his power to, that being: setting traps, calibrating puzzles, and even cooking up his self-proclaimed, five star dish of spaghetti. Several humans had gone by and to no avail, all of the humans had managed to get past Papyrus, however, it was odd that once exiting Snowdin, the humans would always seemingly vanish, Sans always being missing when the disappearances would happen. After the first two times, Papyrus began to grow suspicious of his brother, eventually confronting him about it, however, Sans had refused to tell Papyrus anything. Over time however, Papyrus would continuously try to get information out of Sans, however, Sans on the other hand seemed to start growing more and more distant with everyone, this being because of the strange aggression that seemingly showed up out of nowhere within most monsters. The once happy town of Snowdin now starting to become something far more sinister and cruel as monsters would go to the extent of killing one another over a simple argument. Sans found it almost disgusting that most monsters had so quickly turned against one another, his brother included as over time, Papyrus slowly had started to become more aggressive, the taller skeleton even going to the extent of swapping out his battle body into something more sinister and intimidating.

Sans had been forced to change his own clothing as well, the skeleton now dawning a red sweater with a leather jacket over it, his shorts now being replaced with a pair of brownish colored cargo pants, Sans now wearing a pair of black, arguably fancy shoes. It took Sans quite some time to adjust to the change of clothing, though if it meant that his brother wouldn’t strangle him to death, it was worth it. One day however, Sans’ life would seemingly be changed forever, as while he was sleeping on the job as per usual, he was rudely awoken by his brother’s fists slamming onto the counter. Clearly agitated, Sans groaned and looked up, only to see his brother with a cage in his hands, that cage now holding a small, human child. Has Papyrus done it? Had his brother actually been able to capture a human? Playing it off, Sans shrugged while also congratulating his brother, only to receive a smack across the side of his skull before watching as Papyrus stormed off. As time continued to go on, things only continued to change more and more, Papyrus had started from simply joining the guard to being the second in command, the only one still above him being Undyne. As for Sans himself, a lot more was expected from the skeleton, though despite the constant scolding he would receive from his brother and even Undyne, he didn’t change much, that being until conflict between the two captains of the royal guard had arisen. Sans had watched the entire thing unfold; what started as a simple disagreement led to a full on brawl. After seeing that Papyrus wasn’t able to keep up with Undyne, Sans could feel his rage continue to boil until he finally snapped. With one swift movement, Sans would swipe his hand upward, and once seeing Undyne up in the air, he’d slam her back down onto the ground, a singular blaster now at Sans’ side as it then fired a large, bright blue ray at the fish, however, that was only the beginning..

The battle was fierce, yet short, as both Sans and Undyne were only able to deliver a few attacks before things were cut short. By the end of the fight, both Undyne and Sans were unconscious in the snow, Undyne having several bones pierced through her limbs and torso while Sans had a spear lodged in his skull, yet in the end, neither of the two had been killed, which was surprising enough. Sans spent weeks recovering at home while his brother looked after him, Papyrus seeming to be much more lenient with Sans’ laziness after the incident. The only reason Undyne hadn’t killed Sans was due to the fact that her spear simply pierced his skull, and skeletons don’t have brains, so the spear didn’t hit any vital parts of his body, other than leaving Sans with a large crack through his skull. While Sans was recovering, he and his brother had heard a knock on the door, which was odd, saying the two weren’t expecting anyone that day, though once Papyrus opened it, he was surprised to see none other than Undyne. It was hard to tell if Undyne was still angry about her fight with Sans or not, yet nonetheless, she invited herself in, practically pushing past Papyrus while making her way to Sans, who felt uncomfortable for the next several minutes as he was simply stared at by Undyne. One thing led to another and before Sans knew it, he found himself a spot to train alongside his brother and Undyne, this training of course wouldn’t start until Sans had fully recovered.

Once the skeleton was able to freely walk around on his own again, it was a breath of fresh air that was short-lived as that same day was when his training would start. During the first few sessions of his training, it was mainly Undyne trying to see where Sans currently stood in terms of combat, and she was able to make a few assumptions: one, Sans’ reflexes were far superior to most monsters, dare she even say her own. Second, in terms of power, Sans was more on the weaker side, due to only being able to deal one damage repeatedly. And finally, Sans’ stamina was straight up awful, as he’d get tired out quite fast. With these observations in mind, Undyne would start training Sans to strengthen his weaknesses while also improving on his strengths. Undyne was also able to learn that Sans was extremely great at close-quarters combat, so to help enhance his combat, while also acting as a form of protection, she had two specific gauntlets created just for Sans. These gauntlets not only made his hand-to-hand combat even more powerful, but also allowed him to cast magic based attacks from these gauntlets, given they were crafted from the strongest minerals known to man, and monster-kind. From this point forward, Sans would continue his training, only growing stronger and stronger, that being until one day, everything he knew was seemingly flipped upside down. Sans had been training with his brother, just like any other day, when suddenly, an oval-like shape appeared just outside of Snowdin Town. It started with one, but these shapes began to multiply until suddenly, they all ignited into a blinding white light. Oddly enough, monsters were emerging from these “portals” which only confused Sans even more, though with slight hesitation, the monsters of Snowdin took in these newcomers, as the whole “kill or be killed” concept had begun to fade as time went on, though it was more or less the fact that the monsters of the underground had become less aggressive.  With these new additions to the Underground, the King of the monsters, Asgore, was of course informed and while he too even seemed hesitant, he ultimately made the final call to allow the new residents to remain.

## Personality

Red for the most part is a pretty passive monster, unless provoked of course. Red is the type of person who simply likes to mind his own business and especially hates it when others try getting into his business. He’s not the most social monster in the Underground but most certainly isn’t the least, this being the case ever since his fight with Undyne. Red isn’t really someone you could claim to be calm either, saying once he’s mad, there’s no real stopping him, that being using words anyways. Red will almost always resort to using violence if angered or agitated, that’s just in his nature, but it’s not his fault he’s this way. It really comes down to how RuinedTale was operated. The monsters were all quite aggressive toward one another, most simple arguments resulting in deadly brawls, and that’s just how life was. Red, of course having adapted to this life-style, is known for his aggression and short temper. It doesn’t take much to rial Red up, on the contrary, it takes quite a bit of effort to calm him down, with the exception of a specific few entities. Another thing to note is that Red is very protective of those he cares about. He’ll go to almost any extent just to defend the ones he holds dear to himself, an example of this behavior being when Red attacked Undyne, despite the fact that Undyne is far beyond Red in terms of strength. When fueled by his anger or hatred, Red tends to be very irrational and reckless, as most people are like when angry, though this doesn’t make him any easier to hit.

It’s not very often that Red opens up about himself or about his past to anyone, especially those he’s unfamiliar with. Encryption was one of the first people to ever get through to Red, or at least get to the point where Red felt comfortable around him. Due to the life he lives in RuinedTale, it’s hard for him to actually open up to others, given the idea of it was always taken as “being weak” back home, though through his travels with Encryption, he’s learned this isn’t the case, and that it’s alright to have others to rely on. Red isn’t as intimidating or scary as he seems once someone gets to know him, and while he can’t really be considered clingy, he does prefer to hang around those he considers his friends. Not to mention that while Papyrus was always so rough with him, Red always stuck around, that’s because Papyrus is the only family Red really had, that being until he met Encryption, the two skeletons quickly had grown to be best friends after their initial encounter. Overall, Red isn’t a bad guy, though someone could easily mistaken him for someone with bad intentions due to his appearance along with how he acts from time to time.

## Abilities

### Ruined Blasters

Red can cast large, powerful blasters, all of which fire bright red rays from their mouths. These blasters are decently large, though due to their larger size and power, they have a longer charge up delay than most typical blasters. The amount of damage these blasters can do has proven to have been able to completely destroy larger mass objects such as buildings, however, multiple blasters could potentially wipe out an entire city. To say the least, the more blasters that are summoned, the more destruction they all cause.

### Red Magic

Through the intense training that Red had endured, he had been able to greatly improve his traditional blue magic ability. With this, the color of it had gone from blue to red, though it still maintains its basic functions. Red can alter the gravitational force on one’s soul, allowing him to force a sense of weightlessness on the soul. This being what allows him to choose which direction the soul, and its user will be thrown. To an extent, Red can also use this ability on smaller scaled objects such as: large rocks, smaller vehicles, even smaller houses, etc. One of the main alterations that the red magic has from the traditional blue magic is that Red can overcharge the impacted soul with magic, this having a chance to overcharge the magic reservoirs within one’s vessel, ultimately forcing their soul to discharge or disperse all the current magic they had within their vessel.

### Enhanced Agility

Red has been able to greatly sharpen his reflexes and agility, making him far more nimble and harder to hit. Not to mention that his training came with an increase of endurance, despite how Red may not be the strongest of entities out there, he can still put up quite the fight, or at least give foes who are far stronger than him some trouble.

### Bones

If it wasn’t obvious, Red would be able to manipulate and summon large quantities of bones on command. These bones can come in all shapes and sizes, while also coming in red and orange variants. Typically though, these bones are dark red while also spiked, allowing for them to pierce some of the strongest of minerals.

### Gauntlets

The gauntlets that Undyne ordered to be made for Red. These gauntlets are quite durable, as they had been crafted from some of the strongest minerals known to human and monster kind, along with being infused with an unknown, yet immensely powerful form of magic. Once having the gauntlets equipped, Red gains several other abilities that are strictly related to the gauntlets.

#### Arm Cannon

Red can concentrate high amounts of magic into his gauntlets, allowing him to unleash large, bright red rays from both gauntlets, each ray being about equivalent to a large house in size, however, the destructive capabilities it holds allows Red to decimate entire cities if he so desired. This ray consists mainly of magic and energy, this making it hot enough to not only burn through most planetary minerals, but also severely scorch Intergalactic minerals.

#### Spherical Defense

If Red were to hold up both of his gauntlets out in front of himself while also connecting them, he can encase himself in a light red sphere, this sphere being quite durable and may take several hits to damage. With this, Red can also cast these red spheres elsewhere other than on himself, as it could provide him enough time to escape, or he could crush someone or something with said sphere.

### Brute Force

Red can strike with such force that he can knock foes back using air alone. This often comes in the form of punches and kicks, as when he punches the air with enough force, a transparent-like fist will spawn, hurling in the direction of that Red had punched in until it either slows down to the point of not being able to sustain its transparent-like state, or if it comes into contact with a physical object. Red can send sudden bursts of wind while kicking too, allowing for him to give himself a boost or even slamming enemies into objects, as the transparent-like shape that the kicks take appear to be more spherical instead of the punches, which are more like a fist. With this, Red can collapse or move entire buildings, potentially even larger scaled objects if necessary.

### Planetary Strike Down

If need be, Red can hurl himself up into the air, encasing himself in a bright red aura before slamming himself down into the nearest surface, this typically being the surface of the planet he’s on. Upon doing so, Red can rupture the tectonic plates that the planet consists of, causing them to shift and move. With this aura, Red will gain a temporary boost, allowing him to enhance his red magic to the point of forcing two larger scaled objects together, these objects typically being two planets or a planet and a moon. This power boost is only temporary and limited, so it’s best to use it sparingly.

### Cataclysm

It’s quite obvious that Red’s soul isn’t exactly normal, as it’s not a stereotypical monster soul. In fact, Red’s soul is shaped more to resemble that of a human soul, though there’s a reason for this. Throughout his countless hours of training, along with the assistance he’s received from Encryption, Red has been able to tap into some form of unknown power that resonates within the depths of his soul. While this power is nowhere near mastered, and most likely won’t be mastered anytime soon, even with the hint power he can manage to harness, his abilities and prowess are greatly enhanced to such a degree that he’s given the power its own name “Cataclysm”

#### Cataclysmic Meltdown

Red is able to create a large, rapidly growing sphere of pure Cataclysmic energy. What this Cataclysmic energy exactly is remains unknown, however, it’s been shown to be highly destructive and even inflict a form of radiation essentially. Nevertheless, this giant sphere, once fully formed, will rapidly begin moving in any direction Red desires, eventually erupting into a singular, Universal sized explosion at most. The explosion size varies depending on the amount of Cataclysmic energy manifested, and at most, the size of this sphere can equal to a small moon.

#### Cataclysmic Blasters

These blasters are far more potent and destructive in comparison to Red’s Ruined Blasters. These blasters will be a blood red color, they’ll have six brightly illuminated red eyes and several rings rotating around them. These rings will begin spinning faster and faster as the blasters charge, the rotating becoming so immense that the blasters generate their own gravitational pull, meaning they can be used to deter attacks. The destructive capabilities of these blasters, especially when more than one is used can be catastrophic.

#### Cataclysmic Overcharge

Red can essentially overcharge his entire vessel with Cataclysmic Mana, a blood red aura will slowly materialize around the skeleton, and upon doing so, Red can not only dish out MUCH more damage, but also can withstand a lot more as long as the ability is active. During this state however, Red also has the ability to telekinetically grab objects on a far larger scale than what he normally can, an example being how he can launch entire Solar Systems, potentially even objects equivalent in size to galaxies. Anything that he throws will immediately explode after a given amount of time, erupting into a series of Cataclysmic explosions, each explosion more destructive than the last, despite how they also decrease in size.

#### Cataclysmic Demise

Due to Red’s limited access to the Cataclysmic, there isn’t a whole lot he can do with it, though even with the amount he can harness, what he deems as his “finisher” is still highly destructive. Similar to when Red is using his Cataclysmic Overcharge ability, he’ll gain a blood red aura, however, this aura will slowly turn from said red to a void black. Temporarily, Red’s entire vessel will turn a similar black color, red veins pulsing as each and every fiber of his being is powered by Cataclysmic Mana. During this state, Red will have such an absurd amount of resilience to damage that he’ll almost appear unphased, unless struck by an attack that greatly exceeds his current power level. Once ready, Red will slam his fist down against the ground, a row of spikes shooting up in a straight line in front of him, each spike larger than the last. Once the final spike has emerged, a bright red sphere will begin increasing in size atop the largest spike, unleashing bolts of pure Cataclysmic energy, each bolt having the capability to decimate entire planets. As long as this sphere is present, Red can maintain the state he’s in, though once this sphere is destroyed, Red will launch himself up into the air, casting a Supercharged Cataclysmic Blaster, this blaster’s size being so immense that it could engulf entire galaxies, though once the blaster is summoned, Red will slam himself down, creating a shockwave which not only can be felt across an entire Universe, but will also cause large ripples in spacetime. Finally, the large blaster overhead will fire, unleashing enough power to entirely decimate an entire Universe or timeline, causing all neighboring timelines to collapse on themselves in unison.

## Weaknesses

In terms of feats, Red isn’t able to achieve nearly as much as most characters, this being due to the fact he’s still just Sans, the only reason he’s as powerful as he is would be due to the training he had gone through. Another weakness is that Red cares a lot for those he’s close with, maybe a little too much. Some may claim he’s clingy, as he’ll go to almost any extent to protect those he cares for. While his stamina has been significantly enhanced, he’s still a living being, meaning he does grow tired. He won’t grow tired nearly as quickly as he used to, though his stamina still isn’t the best compared to some other, more powerful entities.

## Relationships

Encryption: The two have been friends for quite some time, Encryption probably being the first friend that Red ever had outside of his Universe. The two spend quite a lot of time together as Red had grown quite close to Encryption. Red usually tries to help Encryption when he can, though usually the threats that Encryption deals with on the daily are far beyond what Red is able to handle, but that doesn’t stop him.

## Trivia

* Red belongs to one of the co-owners of StaticTale, ZOMBIEKITTEN05!
* It's unknown of how Red gained his soul, he seemingly just appeared to have it one day instead of his traditional Monster Soul. The Soul of Vengeance is a rather new soul, so what it's capabilities are remains unknown.
