**Cress** is a non-canonical ‘ship-child’ of Error!Sans and Cross!Sans, as well as being an Out!Code Wanderer that travels around the Multiverse in search for a place to call ‘home’.

While he may be referred to as the offspring of Error and Cross, it is also possible for him to be known as the fusion of the two of them. Cress was created in another version of the Multiverse, where Error!Sans was just about to be murdered by Ink!Sans, but before being killed, he merged his own SOUL with Cross!Sans; as he was the nearest entity that had a SOUL he could combine with.

## Profile

### Appearance

Cress is a dark-hued skeleton with average height, as well as holding a particularly large resemblance to Error!Sans. They have two red markings embedded on both of their cheeks, with their left eye-socket having a red sclera that has a blue X-shaped pupil, and their right eye-socket having a blue sclera with a red iris and a black pupil. They also have yellow teeth and has their arms and hands varying in colors from black to yellow to red.

Cress’s usual attire consists of a short-sleeved black robe with yellow outlining the open areas on their chest; the outline being secured around their waist, and the lower half of their robe being accented with bold red outline and blue string.

Underneath they wear a light blue sweater, black shorts fading to blue on the bottom, and black boots. They also wear a long blue scarf, with the ends of the scarf being arrow-ended with black ends and red outline; white stitches being present on the strings as well.

Cress gives off a purple blush, and glitches occasionally.

### Personality

Cress is quite an introverted and shy individual, not really wanting to interact with other people they don’t know well, and is usually the one to listen to others, rather than be the one initiating a conversation. Like Error!Sans, they have the fear of being touched; however, it isn’t as severe as the latter, as Cress just doesn’t like being touched by those they don’t trust a lot.

Somewhat similar to Cross!Sans, Cress also desires to have a home they can belong in—not an actual home, but a group or place where they feel they can feel comfortable and warm in.

Unlike their ‘parents’ though, Cress doesn’t seem to favor much in violence, and prefers to solve things peacefully, rather than be forceful and reckless. They tend to think through things carefully, and are rational in their decisions. They’re more compassionate and friendly to those they think are trustworthy.

### Abilities

* **Red Strings**: A type of magic that’s probably a combination of Error’s strings and Cross’s HACK knife, Cress is capable of tearing out red strings from their eyes that are able to grab and hold onto things fiercely. Like Error’s attacks, when Cress shoots their strings through someone’s SOUL, they’re temporarily capable of controlling that victim as a puppet.
* **FILE Sword**: A sword in which only Cress can summon, this weapon of theirs grants them the ability to tear apart an entity’s code; which, when the code is damaged or torn apart, damages the victim severely. Damage to one’s code is irreversible—unless in other circumstances.
* **Window Teleportation**: An ability they had gained from Error is being able to create ‘windows’ or portals to other worlds in which they are capable of going through and teleporting in. This ability also allows them to go into the anti-void.
* **Code manipulation**: A very powerful ability to be born with, Cress has the power to temporarily tamper with any entity’s code; however, doing so is very hard and complicated, even for them and Error!Sans. Cress barely uses this ability, as they don’t want to abuse this power.

## Backstory

### Creation

In another version of the Multiverse, Error!Sans and Ink!Sans were in combat within the leftover areas of X-Tale. Error!Sans was about to be murdered by Ink!Sans, however, before being killed, he spotted Cross!Sans witnessing the fight between the two. Instead of taking the latter’s SOUL—like in the original Underverse plot—Error!Sans instead forcefully merges his own SOUL with Cross!Sans to preserve his own being and to become more powerful than Ink, so that he could win the fight.

However, instead of being in control with the newly-formed fusion, Error ended up making a new entity; one in which both him and Cross were merely phantoms to the body.

Due to the loss of Error’s code in the multiverse, without Error being there to balance out the scale between creation and destruction, Cress’s Multiverse began to collapse in on itself, with Cress; while being in temporary possession of Error!Sans, teleporting out of the Multiverse they were once in with their windows.

After the destruction of their own Multiverse, Cress decided to find a new ‘home’ for them to reside in. They would spend the rest of their present lives doing just that.

## Relationships

### Error!Sans

Error Sans, when first meeting Cress, was enraged and horrified at the thought of another version of him fusing SOULs with someone like Cross!Sans. He initially fought Cress in order to eradicate them, as he thought of them as nothing but a glitch that wasn’t supposed to be in their Multiverse.

### Cross!Sans

The meeting between Cress and Cross!Sans was… awkward, to say the least. Another version of the captor of Cross’s SOUL, merging with theirs merely for saving themselves, was a weird thing to hear. However, Cross didn’t mind Cress being there, and treated them like a normal person.

## Trivia

* Cress’s name is a combination of ‘**E**rror’ and ‘**Cr**o**ss**’.
	+ Other suggestions for their name were Eros, Gliss, and Crerror.
* Cress’s page was rushed since the creator didn’t have enough motivation to continue.
