Sans | Undertale
Player pronouns: she/her
Contact(s):
Time Zone: EST but my schedule varies a lot and I'm often up at night
Tagging habits/tagging speed: I try to tag at a regular pace and boomerang when I can, though there are occasionally a few days, depending on my varying work schedule or other similar real life things (holidays, just lately), where I can't tag. If you're slower I don't mind, and we can always discuss OOCly anything that needs to be sorted out immediately!
Favorite types of characters to write against: I love seeing how all different types of characters interact, and the good thing about Sans is he can bounce off of pretty much anybody. I love getting involved in game metaplots, so I'd love to play off of others who are looking to do that too!
About you: I like reading and video games, especially plotty indie games. Fantasy, science fiction, and horror are my favorite genres in general. RP-wise, I'm a plot-focused player. I want to put a character in a storyline and see that storyline play to completion, getting my character involved with the plot and with everyone else involved in the plot along the way. Feel free to add me on plurk!
Character Name: Sans
Character Age: 30
Canon: Undertale
Canonpoint: failed genocide; the player loses to Sans and does not reload or reset
1 paragraph summary of character/canon: Undertale is a video game where a human falls into the Underground, a world of monsters, and has to get through it to escape. On top of that, saving, loading, and resetting are actual concepts, and Undertale being a video game is a very big part of its canon; because the human can never permanently die, it leads to questions of how to behave with that kind of power. It turns out the monsters are actually pretty chill people, and you can get through the entire game without killing anyone! But you can also go wildly out of your way to murder literally every monster in the game and get a very different experience, which is where I'm bringing Sans from: he's from the path where every monster is killed and he has to fight the human. Sans is a lazy skeleton who loves his brother, good times, bad food, and worse jokes. He's a sentry in at least three different stations, one of which is an illegal hot dog stand, and he plays at comic relief almost the entire time... Except in the genocide route, which is where Sans happens to be from. There, from the point the human kills Sans's brother onward, he stalks the human through the Underground and fights them as the final boss (in the Judgment Hall, fittingly), because he actually knew all along that the human had the ability to reload and reset, and he knows that if the human finishes murdering every monster, all the timelines will end forever. As a result, Sans's humor is much darker, he's much angrier, much lonelier, and much more depressed... But he's still that funny skeleton, and the funny skeleton is all he wants people to see.
“Family” members:
Son: Sokka
Possible non-event hooks:
-Sans will be a regular at whatever bar people tend to hang out at; if your character spends time there, they'll see him.
-Sans will be spending a lot of time at the library. You may catch him napping or, shockingly, actually reading books.
-Is your character a non-human who has been unceremoniously shoved into a human body? Sans is in the same situation! He's not going to tell anyone if he can help it, but he'll definitely want to know other people who are in that situation.
-Is your character going to get to know Papyrus? Then your character is going to meet Sans. They don't get a choice in this, sorry.
-Do you like stars and space? Are you involved in stars and/or space? Sans loves these things and this is his first time being able to see stars outside of books. Please talk about space with him.
-Sans never tells anybody anything. I know some characters really latch on to figuring out those types; Sans is here to hate every moment of your character doing this.
-A more long-term thing, because Sans won't want anyone to know this: Sans is a lapsed quantum phycisist familiar with timespace... Situations. This may come up depending on how things in Sweetwater develop. It will at least be obvious from the start that Sans loves science.
What are they up to in Sweetwater? Adjusting to being a human while also not trying to let anyone know he wasn't always a human. Trying to figure out what's going on in Sweetwater. Reading every potentially helpful book in the library without making it look like he's reading every potentially helpful book in the library. Hanging out with Papyrus and trying not to let on to Papyrus that Sans is from a different timeline where Papyrus died. Identifying other kidnap victims and trying to at least establish a general acquaintanceship to see what everyone else is like and who might be helpful to the "get out of here ASAP" plan that he has not yet formed. Being mildly horrified that this place has assigned him to be a parent and relieved Sokka is capable of taking care of himself and he is not expected to actually parent him. Not doing the dishes.
Most Desired CR: Sans acts as good comic relief, so others like that or contrasting straight men are always fun. Characters who also want to figure out what's going on and how to get out. Characters who very stubbornly want to figure out what's going on with other characters' lives; Sans will not like that, but I will. Character with complicated relationships with violence, to make Sans nervous and have to deal with that. Child characters--I love playing off of kids, and Sans does it well with his level of humor. But really hit me up with anybody, Sans is a people person skeleton.
Undesired CR: N/A
Any threads you really want to play out? I want to be involved in figuring out what's going on stuff; that stuff is great. Characters comparing notes on how to properly behave like an early-1960s American, also fun. Characters failing to do this and getting punished and having to deal with the consequences--I can imagine once it gets out what happens to people who don't conform that would be a whole gamewide situation for everyone to really think about. Stargazing threads! Attempting to celebrate unfamiliar holidays! Sans getting attached to other people against his will!

Sokka after doing the dishes for the fiftieth time: I wish my fake dad would do (1) parenting thing and wash the dishes
I'm super hyped for this and from reading this alone already have a bunch of ideas. But the most important one is: I hope Sans introduces Sokka to knock-knock jokes

The downside is, he'll also be bringing some of the food he made, in the local style.

If the food starts piling up in the fridge uneaten, he'll just comment aloud about how whoever sorted them into families sure picked someone just like Sans, and sigh a lot.

And also Bucky is keeping some variation of TDM canon with Sokka so he might just pop over sometime and meet the fake dad.
