Unknown (Sans)

Art by Fruity-uwu

**Unknown!Sans** is the most prominent anomaly of UnderProsthetic.

### **"Awakening"**

There he was, his body limp as he laid to rest upon a bed of flowers. A strange and cold liquid gently falling from his sockets. A figure loomed over him, their face obscured by an unrelenting blurry splotch. He could do nothing, being trapped within his own body, the figure softly brushed his eyes closed. He began to drift into a steep slumber. What could've only lasted a few minutes until something crept close to his ear. "Wake up sleepy head," he heard. His sockets suddenly burst open as a spiraling heat covered his body. A soft light quickly consumed his vision as the sound of what could only be described as the crack of lightning shattered his hearing. He suddenly fell out of the sky crashing into the peerless ground. The twisting and warping of his bones caused him to scream. He crawled across the ground as the cosmic energies of the universe seared and lynched his body. A shadow masking his face except for a single beading eye. The hysteria caused him to look in random directions, at surroundings he could not recognize. The wallowing chimes and eternal buzzing from this realm of white, taking what was left of his body. He felt something writhe and crawl across his face. He dug the tips of his fingers into the being, in which he could not see, the screeching of what it was ringed loudly as he began to tear it off. The black swirling mass falling onto the monotone ground, staining it in a deep black. A crimson red fluid began to stream out from where he had ripped and torn the black mass away, staining his hands. Once he pulled his attention away from his bloodied hands. He was mesmerized by something in the distance. A figure with white glistening hair. Hair that was so distinct it could be told apart from the rest of this realm of white. A teacup lay gently in the figure's grasp, as a soft smile formed on their face. He held the side of his head, his fingers dug and crept into the crevices of his skull. He felt it again, the writhing and crawling on his face, as the stainless grin that formed stripped away what was left of his sanity.

## **Personality**

Eerily quiet, something about him always draws someone near but a look of horror written on them at what they might find. What is he? Unknown hardly knows himself, all he seems to care about is people leaving him well enough alone and going about his business. His most defining trait being his characteristic bluntness to everything around no matter how small. The mystery of his exact identity is only further buried behind his poker face which never seems to falter. In regards to how he feels about his own lack of a self, he could care less, he doesn’t want to be anybody, all he has ever been is simply a corpse clinging to a grudge which isn’t even truly his. The casual hermit attitude that he radiates labels him as an outcast and just another bad egg in the multiverse. No one has ever gotten past his barriers to truly understand what exactly is going on in this creature's mind. It’s both sadistic and somber, his every waking moments filled with reminders and regrets he’d rather willingly forget and toil beneath amnesia.

His own self loathing is out in the open at just how he can be seen to handle himself. It’s the pure essence of archaic, the well worn clothes, the awful stench, the tireless cracks of joints. He is unsightly, and grotesque, truly the definition suitable for a monster.

## Quirks and Details

* **Unknown** is illiterate and when given a task to write or draw the outcome results in distorted scribbles with no sense of meaning.

* He tends to find a patch of ground - he's taken a liking to - in the Anti-Void. There he merely stands looking in some far off random direction. It's hard to get him to do anything after he's begun the process.
* **Unknown**'s psyche is a jumbled mess, comparable to that of an infinite jigsaw puzzle. The effects spawned a constant mass of alternate personalities. That strain and torture him.
* *The urge* can be described as his compulsion to slaughter and murder indiscriminately. Almost like he needs to see the color red in some capacity to keep functioning.
* **Unknown**’s most prized possession is his shoes and will go out of his way to make sure nothing happens to them. This goes as far as ripping his own legs off if he knows an attack is going to hit his entire body.
* **Unknown** has in never truly been in the Doodle Sphere only ever teleporting to random aus which is caused by his sheer lack of knowledge as without a proper idea of where he may be heading he randomly jumps without much discretion.

## **Appearance**

**Unknown** is completely covered from head to toe in a full body straitjacket, giving him the appearance as if he's been wrapped multiple times in dirty bandages. The straitjacket has several large brown metal buckles fastened tightly on his abdomen. He wears a faded blue jacket with a black hood over the previously described straitjacket. He possesses black shorts with two pairs of white lines on each side. For footwear he sports an odd pair of lime green shoes with faded blue tips.

## **Relationships**

Killer!sans: Their earliest encounter was quite strange. **Killer** had recently been suffering from some sort of ”force” that touched his mind resulting in frequent strange dreams. He had followed the seeds his dreams sowed. Eventually coming face to face with Unknown. Killers first instinct was to attack but once he  saw that he was out matched quickly disengaged. Unknown had crept close to Killer, examining in his eyes, a creature that mimicked his likeness in more ways than one. Killer’s two personalities began to rave like wildfire until Unknown grabbed onto his hand causing an odd change in Killer’s psyche. As if his sins were resolved and put to rest. The two from then on, have frequently seen each other. Though Killer is the one pushing their encounters and interactions. Killer merely follows and chases after Unknown, curious about what he did to him and of his true nature. Unknown personally has grown a slight routine to and preference in receiving Killers' company, perceiving him similar to that of a stray dog, but as also a reflection of his own being.

Monitor: Monitor is someone deep from within Unknown's past. The two have known each other for many years, having a deep sibling-esk relationship with one another. Monitor is one of the few people Unknown cares enough to defend and even acknowledge. Monitor seeks to fix and save Unknown from his pain and regret. Though she knows not to delve too far into the past, as Unknown is quick to snap and become violent to the point of nearly killing her, but even if he were to attack, Monitor would not resist. She can almost always be seen nearby Unknown wherever it is he may appear. On the other side of the spectrum, Unknown does not believe in Monitor's feelings of wanting to help or save him, for in his mind, he simply understands that she's lying.

Nightmare: Unknown holds a slight disdain for Nightmare seeing him as nothing more than a child who's lashing out. Nightmare on the other hand sees Unknown as a highly valuable resource that he attempts to harness and manipulate. Nightmare is almost always able to find Unknown due to the almost overpowering amount of negativity that he gives off. These attempts at manipulation and domination usually lead into frequent spouts of violence usually leaving Nightmare to retreat. Ultimately Nightmare had faced a bigger blow when Killer had left his side to pursue Unknown.

Core Frisk: The two have been aware of the others' existence since Unknown's arrival in the multiverse. Core Frisk witnessed first hand the depravity and horror that Unknown afflicted upon his own body when they had first found him. They kept a close eye on him but knew that such an early interaction would not be the right time. Later when Unknown had adjusted himself, Core Frisk offered their hand and honestly convinced him into entering the omega timeline. Things were decent at first, he did what he always had done keeping to himself away from the rest of the inhabitants. Sadly, the itch had begun to creep it's way to the surface, leading towards a massacre in the Omega timeline that haunts and persists in the minds of the survivors of the experience. Unknown was casted out. Which didn't bother him, seemingly at all. Core Frisk still wishes to help Unknown, even if they can't pursue the goal openly after what happened. Core Frisk does find Unknown's very existence impossible. For in all of their knowing presence, Core Frisk funny enough doesn't know a single thing about him. Core Frisk actively attempts to follow up on leads and any information they can on the truth and existence of Unknown. On the other hand Unknown has never openly been aggressive towards Core Frisk but instead simply stagnant.

## **Powers**

**Mind Over Flesh**

Unknown is capable of controlling his own physiology to a certain degree. This allows him to contort and manipulate his limbs and portions of his body in very specific ways. Primarily to allow for easier ways to avoid damage without changing up his “go head first” way of doing things.

**Stake Driver**

A ranged attack making use of Unknowns control over his own body. He is capable of ejecting his fingers out at insane speeds . Any finger that imbeds itself in a target begins to act like a form of infection. Replacing more and more of the enemies body with samples of Unknown until the entire body is of the same flesh. At this point Unknown will have complete control over that person to an utter degree and can freely manipulate them in whatever way he wants.

**Meat Hook**

Another ability which capitalizes on his mastery over flesh and bone, he can launch his arm to grab or latch onto something and bring it back to him or bring himself over to it via a long, durable and elastic makeshift rope made of cartilage which is connected to it. This move allows for Unknown to have more of a say in confrontations as he can close the gap quickly. (He can even use this for traversal though it isn’t his prefered method so he rarely ever does it)

**Frenetic Sling**

A maneuver performed when Unknown uses blue magic to fling himself through the air repeatedly at very impressive speeds for highly effective travel. (despite its crude nature) it is his most prefered method of getting around after discovering he could do it.

**Twisted Bones**

These bones are malformed and misshapen due to a lack of true magical development and mastery. Though still having decent strength if not slightly less penetration.

**Ambivalent Collapse**

Utter nothingness, a pure void that is boiled up inside before being expelled out into the open. An ability activated by a chain reaction of Unknown's own uncertainty, conflict, and indecisiveness that collides causing a chain reaction that creates a chaotic blast of psionic energy destroying everything around him and in other cases creating a true void.

**Blank slate**

He can take away a person's negative emotions and pain by holding the person's hand. Essentially being unconsciously performed by conjoining his own consciousness with another's stripping away a part of them and then adding it onto his own. He proceeds to absorb that person's pain and negativity leaving said person in either a coma esk state or really confused.

**The Gift**

Unknown possesses an incredible healing factor, regenerating limbs and crucial body parts ranging from seconds to an instant. He can reattach severed body parts or even rip his own head off. Through fourth we training he has learned to control his own biology to a certain degree allowing surprising applicability in battles.

**Unworldly Vigor**

Unknown possesses an unfathomable level of strength only being outdone by a rare few in the multiverse. Being naturally heavy handed his punches are like a crashing river against rocks, completely tearing away at his opponents.

**Abhorrent Discharge**

An attack channeled out from the palm, only growing in lethality when both are put together. The attack in question is a highly concentrated build up of negative emotions which can be manifested into reality as varying elements (Fire,Lightning,Ice,Water, ect)

**Clairvoyance**

A hereditary ability inherited from his mother. Being untrained in its usage and unaware that it even exists, Unknown is unable to consistently use it. The ability almost activates by itself in the most random of situations. The most commonly seen occurence is Unknown being able to see a dense wall of blurriness around an individual which he is able to peer through with enough effort allowing him to visualize their past and current experiences. Other not so common effects that rarely occur is mind reading or even extra sensory perception. All in all he essentially knows things he shouldn't, but somehow doesn't know the things he should.

**Malevolent Fixation**

The feeling of something hollow and empty as a cold shiver covers the room. A stare that freezes you in place and knocks you to the ground crushing you under an unbearable weight of darkness. The sheer intensity is suffocating as if you are under a sea of negativity.

**Expression**

He unleashes a black wave that transmits pain and emotion working as a chisel that affects a person's ego and subconscious. This can lead to an ego death which would in itself kill someone as they would become an empty shell with no will to move or guide it.

**Hate**

Hate is the first member in a trio of gaster blasters crafted and designed by 'The Voice' using parts of Unknown's body. Hate is sentient and has its own personality, being extremely irritable and possesses a steep loathing of everything it encounters. The blaster is able to manipulate the black mucus that it produces forming constructs out of its jaws. The only downside being that the blaster is a melee unit and lacks any form of ranged capacity. (Unknown shares sight with the blaster able to see what it sees)

**Dread**

Dread is the second member of a trio of gaster blasters crafted and designed by 'The Voice' using parts of Unknown's body. Dread is sentient and possesses its own personality, being extremely psychotic, wanting to explore the insides of everyone of its victims. The blaster possesses no form of beam but instead a variety of chains which connect to ends of a bunch of random knives. They fire the chains out which can track and make turns at almost instantaneous speeds, before the knives jutt into the victim then either restrict their movement or retract dragging the victim into its jaws. The blaster serves as a sniper unit only able to fire one shot before being forced to disappear and reform its chains . (Unknown shares sight with the blaster able to see what it sees)

**Despair**

Despair is the final member in the trio of gaster blasters crafted and designed by 'The Voice' using parts of Unknown's body. Despair is sentient and possesses its own personality, being extremely playful but yet easily saddened by almost everything. This blaster is able to fire a constant stream of black flames, serving as a short ranged flame thrower. It's second firing mode allows it to perpetually expel gas from its toothy maw all around the area before igniting it causing an overflow and burst of black flames to cover an entire area. (Unknown shares sight with the blaster able to see what it sees)

## **Objective**

He doesn’t possess a very specific or overarching goal/objective. More often than not he goes anywhere and follows whatever his source of hollow vengeance tells him.
