*"Heh, run from me, tease me with a fight, you know you're only wasting time, let's not keep Reaper waiting."*

## Backstory

Dust is from a timeline where the human did reset after reset, ONLY doing the Genocide route. He slowly grew angrier and angrier, up until he got drunk at grillby's and then, in his drunken madness he killed everyone. When he woke up with a hangover and found out what he'd done, what little remained of his sanity snapped, and he decided to continue with his actions, and use the power he gained to kill the human. He started, and was interrupted mid-way through by the human, who managed to steal almost half the underground from him, as well as most of the minor monsters.

They fought in the judgement hall, but this time the fight was harder, and Sans kept winning. However, that wasn't enough to simply win against them, he had to break their determination. So, he tried to make them suffer as much as possible, but their determination never wavered. Finally, they won, and reset the timeline. Then, Sans tried again, this time without stopping, and he took the entire underground down. This time, however, he had to kill papyrus without the drunken stupor, and found his own willingness to go on with the plan wavering.

He did it, and instantly regretted it. He apologized, but kept walking, and eventually met Phantom Papyrus, Papyrus' Ghost. Dust was excited by this, and over the next few timelines, which even the LV increases didn't help him win, he found taking out Papyrus much easier, as Papyrus' ghost would simply be there.

This happened for almost a year, and then Nightmare Sans decided to interfere with this AU, and recruit Dust into his group. He goes in, Dust rebels against him, as he had expected, but took him down with his superior powers. He then convinced Dust to join the squad, and Dust agreed, on one condition. Nightmare would help him take out his human before he left. Nightmare sighs, but brings Killer, Horror, and Insanity to help Dust deal with the human. Once successfully dispatching Frisk/Chara, Dust absorbed their soul, and they left the AU.

## Profile

### Appearance

Dust/Murder is largely identical to his Classic counterpart, only differences being he's covered in dust, and wears his hoodie all the time, shadowing his eyes.

### Personality

He still acts mostly like normal Sans, only he's less lazy, and more prone to dark humor than puns. His idea of fun is to jumpscare others, and he likes to make other people uncomfortable around him, specifically so they avoid him. He is secretly scared of himself, and hates himself for what he does, but he hides those feelings by being overethusiastic when killing or hurting others.

## Powers and Abilities

### Gaster Blasters

Devices resembling a skull that shoot large beams; the amount of damage inflicted from these beams depends on how much LV Sans has.

### Bone Manipulation

Sans has the ability to summon control and manipulate bones at will.

### Soul Manipulation: Blue Mode

This is essentially telekinesis, able to throw the human or anything with a soul around at will.

### Blue Attacks

Sans can do attacks that do not deal damage as long as the target remains still.

### Shortcuts

Sans can travel or teleport anywhere instantly, provided he knows the location's map code.

### KR

A kind of "poison" effect of Sans's attacks, getting hit inflicts not just the initial damage received, but also increases KARMA by some amount (depending on the attack). Whenever KARMA is above zero, it eventually drains back down to zero, inflicting damage with each drain. Dust keeps his because it isn't relying on him being moral for it to work, it was given to him by Asgore when he became the royal judge,
