character info Character Name: Papyrus Character Age: Low 20s, guesstimated Character Role: Bachelor (unconfirmed) Canon: Undertale Canonpoint: Ruler Papyrus ending, genocide run derailed by sparing Papyrus 1 paragraph summary of character/canon:I'm gonna rewrite this thing every time until I'm happy with it lol. Undertale is a videogame based in an alternate Earth, where monsters and humans once lived together in peace - until the humans declared war, demolished the monster population, and trapped the survivors under a mountain behind a magical barrier. PAPYRUS is a skeleton monster, more loud-spoken and quirky than your average random encounter skeleton foe in a cave, who speaks and writes in the font he's named for (alongside his brother sans). Fueled by fears of loneliness and irrelevance, Papyrus sought importance by becoming a sentry and trying to gain a position with the Royal Guard - by capturing a human for the king to take their soul for the power, if need be! Unfortunately for him, his dramatic monologues and puzzle presentations may have won the murderous human over into accepting his mercy, but didn't convince them to stop killing overall. I'm specifically taking him from the ending where he and (to a significant extent) his brother have been ruling the kingdom of monsters after the deaths of all the other likely leaders, where he had been prioritizing the morale issues while his brother primarily handled the logistics. He hasn't yet realized that his brother remembers events differently, much less the specifics of their differences. “Family” members: None at this time! But he's quick to say that Sans is his brother Links:Navigation (currently has links for IC inbox, application, TDM top level, First Impressions / Permissions / Opt-Out, & HMD)
event plans (reorganized for in-game chronology) A Thought is Haunting Me: (Jan 1st) Papyrus will be at the New Years, socializing before the drop and a little desperate to talk after the fact, in-person or via network. He'll try hedging the new memories with sentiments like "wow, I thought New Years dreams were about... having your own dreams, for the future! Not dreaming weird random dreams that belong to other people," but otherwise won't do great at keeping secret the fact that something happened unless shushed by whoever he's talking with.
Drill It In Like J. Paul Getty: (Jan 3rd..?) Pending word from mod to see how bad a time he'll have down there, but he's going to have a time. I want him to have an extra motivation for trying to blend in / be more deliberate about subverting the rules, and tossing him in here is a great way. Please feel free to have your characters encounter him around his yard afterwards, though his brother will be trying to make him stay over at the Doe household while he recovers from whatever happens.
...And I Am Watching You Shovel Snow: (Jan 7th) Snow! Finally, this unasked-for home away from home feels homey. Except for the ways that skin is incredibly sensitive to cold. He'll be out and about shoveling, making an oddly skeletal snowman, and generally complaining about how many layers he needs to wear. Consider it an opening to other conversations in a low-stakes situation!
In The Valley of the Dolls We Sleep: (Jan 13th-15th) I haven't yet decided what Papyrus's approach in here will be, because his reflexes would be to use magic, and that's not on the table. Maybe coordinating with others to try getting the bathroom mannequins into a get-along sweater? (to pin their arms in place, and haul them elsewhere)
Wildcard I am also very much down for meetings with other scenarios, like the various non-event hooks mentioned in my ooc intro!
