This is an Utmv au containing many changes to the Sanses you know and love:)
Connections/character relationships have been added and changed, Dreamtale has been greatly altered, Error and Geno get slightly new lore as to who they are, Xtale is a bit different and so on!
What to expect?
This blog is ran by @thesilliestcs
In this blog I will be posting info about everything and everyone. In fact, i already have a lot of lore written down but i'll try my best to introduce it as nicely as i can!
There are 17 characters overall, each with their own unique design, facts and character bio! I currently have 5 sheets done and 8 bios completed.
Asks are open!
You can ask me or the characters themselves questions:)
The list of characters that I can answer as are Ink (belongs to Comyet), Error (belongs to Loverofpiggies), Nightmare, Dream (both belonging to Dreamtale), Swan, Swad (both belonging to Song_A), Cross (belongs to Jakei), Killer (though I don't have a lot of info about him, I'll still try. Belongs to Rahafwabas), Dust/Murder (Same story as with Killer. Belongs to AskDustale), Geno (belongs to LoverofPiggies) and Reaper (belongs to Renrink)!
He's the last one i have finished for now, the others are still being worked on!
I don't speak Japanese- if any translation is wrong lmk!
Bio/info under the cut!
His design is my fav out of them all so far:)
- Protector of Lighthouses and Aus.
- His core is located behind his right eye (Error's is inside his eye.)
- If he finds a sailor, he'll just leave them be.
- An ally to Dream and Swap. He helps them with their missions and fights every now and then but his main goal is to stop Swad and sometimes Pale.
- The side of his head that was busted by the villagers was eventually repaired and healed using the Kintsugi technique.
-He likes pottery but especially enjoys fixing damaged creations.
- When becoming an Outcode, his tail amount tripled. He now has 9 tails, resembling a Kitsune.
- Moreover, his head hadn't finished healing, so his right eye became affected.
- He was able to figure out how to leave his au faster than Dream did.
- His main weapon is the Naginata and uses smokebombs if needed.
- Goes by Tsuki/月 (japanese for "Moon")
- Dream calls him Moony or Nighty when it slips.
- He wants to tell Dream the truth so badly...
- Swap was the first person he met after landing in the antivoid, he trusts Swap the most.
- In a relationship with Swap!
(Shipping Swan with others regardless of "canon" is fine! As long as it isn't proship.)
- Right before setting out to attempt to stop Swad, Swap took Swan to Lust's (no nsfw is involved in this au, Lust is just a clothing designer.) place to get him a new outfit. Swap stayed with Swan for a few days.
- He'd like to get to know Cross more.
- Weary of everyone. People that he doesn't and does know. Dream is included in the list.
- After getting over his shock, he feels pity towards (og) Nightmare.
- Needs glasses, wears glasses.
- Isn't able to try much foods as he's always in a hurry, but he enjoys senbeis the most.
- Great at Shogi (Japanese chess.)
- His favorite color is Periwinkle.
- He bleeds gold (product of becoming an Outcode.)
- Hylophobic (afraid of forests.)
- He only trusts trees that he himself plants.
- His relaxation spots are below or on the branches of isolated trees. He grew his own tree in the Omega Timeline and can be see resting there or reading a book.
- Swan has a black cat companion.
- Said cat behaves a lot like Swan. The cat trusts who Swan trusts and dislikes those who Swan dislikes.
-Swan acquired the cat in the Antivoid when be became an Outcode (the Antivoid gave him the cat.)
- Depending on who the cat likes or dislikes, it'll allow to be pet with soft fur or a solid mane. So for example, the cat will be super fluffy with Swap but will be just solid shapes towards Error.
- Both the Swap Brothers are missing their cherry blossom eye flowers (Swan retains his eye, not the flower though) to symbolize that they aren't following their supposedly cannon roles to their stories.
- If he spots a traveler, he'll toy with their emotions first before letting them go mad. (See Ink's bio on this section for some explanation.)
- His core is in his halo-eye. (Core will be explained in another post.)
- His halo-eye resembles that of an ancient Japanese Emperor's.
- Pride made a person, basically.
- Incinerated the tree before getting kicked out by his own au.
- Has zero empathy.
- Professional rage baiter, behind Killer.
- He goes around the aus, making himself known and causing chaos. He knows there are millions of aus, so why bother if only a small amount are affected? It's fun anyway, too.
- The only Outcode who wasn't given the ability to fly in the antivoid (due to him already having wings.)
- In addition to his Kusarigama, he uses bow and arrows too. That's how he spreads positivity. He pulls them out of his halo, like Dream.
- Unlike Dream, he refuses to wear archer gloves (too prideful.)
- Unlike (og) Nightmare, Swad works alone (too prideful to seek help.)
- He likes to bother Nightmare ( No Swadmare implication.) He usually tries to shoot Nightmare with an arrow of positivity. He rarely finds hum in the first place, however.
- The happier he is, the more he glows.
- His head was the only part of his body that couldn't heal.
- Doesn't care to eat, but will eat anything if he has to.
- Unlike his brother, he's terrible at Shogi ("Japanese chess".) He just moves pieces until something happens.
- Uses " ダーリン " (darling) and " ハニー " (honey) when talking to someone.
- Uses " ケアバラアリ" ("Carebara ant", the smallest ant species) to refer to someone behind their backs. It is what he thinks of everyone.
- Needs glasses, doesn't wear any (guess whyyy.)
- Steals anything gold.
- Knows three languages: English, French, and a bit of Japanese.
The second image is a quick sketch of the clothing he uses (or a concept of it, at least) to scout aus before destroying them
Againnn, bio under the cut :)
- Destroyer of Aus.
- When becoming an Outcode, the same thing that happened to Dream happened to Nightmare, too.
- "Corrupted" Nightmare and "Passive" Nightmare are the same person.
-Everything that Nightmare does has reason behind it (usually for his own gain), everything. It is all calculated.
- If he catches a traveler roaming the waters, he'll eliminate them right away. (Explanation of this can be seen on Ink's/Dream's profile in this section.)
- He isn't covered by goop, but by tree sap. His Sap isn't any regular Sap. It can't be classified into any tree's sap. It's thicker (but the density can shift by will in Nightmare's case), originally designed to trap the victim who dared taking a swing at the tree.
- The Sap's unstable magic and Nightmare's magic/being clashed with eachother, leaving Nightmare a bit (physically) unstable in general too. He got used to it, though. It is not a problem to him anymore. (Instead of an "apple incident", Nim's tree was enchanted to curse whoever tried to chop it down using sap. Nightmare, however, was able to evade this.)
- His tendrils have been replaced by tree branches made of sap.
- Whatever he doesn't express (he hides his emotions pretty well), his tendrils do.
- The Ono axe is his main weapon.
- Works alongside Error to destroy aus, but he will harness some for their negativity.
- He does this to spite the Creators for giving him this story. He, Swad and Ink are the only ones who possess the knowledge of the Creator's existance.
- This knowledge is given to push these characters into doing something, like in this case it's Nightmare to destroy aus.
- He harnesses negativity not because he wants to become a ruler, but because he knows other Outcodes (Dream, Blue, Ink, Swan, etc) will try to stop him, so he needs to become stronger to overcome their future battles.
- Scouts aus before trying to destroy them to get intel on what they will deal with. Ink was supposed to stay alert for when those scoutings happen but... he doesn't want to.
- Has the better singing voice between the two twins.
- He speaks in an old fashioned way (or a moderate amount of old english). While he is getting accostumed to the modern english, he'd rather stick to his usual way of speaking.
- Is being taught how to dance by Ink in the times he catches Ink dancing in the antivoid.
- Hates the taste of the Cherry Blossom Sap. The taste in itself isn't bad, but it gives him bitter memories of the past.
- Enjoys Suimono Soup.
- In this au, the Bad Sanses aren't always with him. Nightmare only sees them when he calls them for a mission (the Bad Sanses in this au are free bandits, who do whatever they want with whichever au, but they do still belong to Nightmare.)
- Is in poly with Ink and Error. He is fully aware of Ink's actual intentions, but he decided to play along to study the guardian a bit. Even before Ink joined the relationship, Nightmare and Error were already a pair.
(Shipping Nightmare regardless of "canon" ships is okay! Just no shipping him with Dream and Swad.)
- Likes to bother Dream with his (Dream's) beliefs, though one day he hopes to bring the truth forward to see his brother crumble.
- HATES Swad's guts. Every time he sees Swad, he attempts to kill him.
- Indifferent with a pinch of resentfulness towards Swan.
- Antisocial.
- Does read Fresh's newspapers just for intel on others. He gets questioning looks from it.
The japanese text's translation is literally just "error" like the original
Again, bio/info under the cut!
- Destroyer of Lighthouses and Fates/Aus.
- He's an unresting spirit who possessed a body.
- If he catches a traveler, he'll kill or kidnap the soul (or whatever cannon Error does with the antivoid's ceiling.) (See Ink's bio in this section for a bit od explanation)
- His core is in his floating eye.
- His floating eye can still blink and emote.
- His tears are acidic, so crying is... painful.
- He can mimic a cat's purr when comfortable subconsciously (product of becoming an outcode. Becoming an outcode gives physical changes.)
- Doesn't use his tail much.
- Wishes for the destruction of everything. He'll destroy the aus first, then the Lighthouses.
- Works alongside Nightmare to destroy aus. He will allow Nightmare to keep some to farm negativity, even if he's against it.
- He isn't an idiot, and knows his job is impossible, but his hate overcomes this.
- If he thinks about what was just mentioned, he'll throw a tantrum that leads to him destroying an au.
- Haphephobic and Claustrophobic.
- Makes origamis instead of sewing/knitting.
- He has a paper texture. (Design wise.)
- He made his scarf with his own strings.
- From his strings, its own versions of flowers bloom and leaves grow.
- Enjoys Matcha tea, (Royce's) Nama chocolate and Meiji Milk chocolate.
- In a poly with Ink and Nightmare. He is oblivious of Ink's real intentions. Even then, he doesn't show affection at all.
(Shipping Error with anyone else regardless of "canon" ships is okay btw!)
- Won't admit it, but he enjoys Lust's company.
- He thinks Geno and Reaper are weird.
- Actually, he hates Reaper as he remembers very small fragments of his time as Geno, and very faintly sees him there. However, he does kill anomalies... so he's somewhat of a good tool.
- Refers to Ink as "pendejo." (Spanish for idiot.)
- Mixed feelings towards Swan, it's mostly displeasure.
- Usually asks Ink for paper and receives regular paper, not washi. He wants paper for his origamis.
- On his shoulder, is the first ever origami he made, Matcha. (He named it after the tea, yes.)
- Completely mastered flight in the anti void (outcodes can float in the antivoid and the antivoid only).
I'll start introducing characters now (ik Dream has already been introduced shh), starting with:
Ink!
Bio/info is under the cut!
I'll only introduce those with the ref sheet and bios/info ready, for now 5 characters are under that category as of now
-Protector of Aus.
- His head is floating and divided between bone and his ink splotch.
- The "black bones" are actually just ink.
- Has two tongues, one for each side of his face as shown in the ref sheet.
- Only protects aus because he struck a deal with the creators.
- He can be viewed as manipulative and sly.
- Doesn't care what others think of him, make of him, or perceive him as. He will bother anyone no matter if they think of him as an enemy or friend.
- If he catches a traveler roaming the waters (the antivoid has been flooded and filled with fog, anyone who left their au/was expelled from their au is automatically placed on a boat), he'll try to bargain with them. He'll only offer help if he gets something in return. If not, he'll leave them alone without any changes.
- He (along with Template) is the only Outcode able to travel to Aus without the need to find their keys first (the Doodle Sphere's papers have been replaced with doors whose keys float about in the water).
- Not part of the Star Sanses (they have a different name in this au, i'm still trying to figure it out.)
- Instead of a brush, he holds a parasol.
- The parasol's name is Berry.
- The parasol can spill ink (not paint) from it's end, like the Undercover Brella in Splatoon.
- Ink can also glide with it.
- Ink still needs his vials to feel, but he doesn't drink them. Inside his head is his core (More lore that I'll explain in a different post). He dumps the vials' content there. He does this with food, too. (He's lazy to eat regularly.)
- In a poly with Error and Nightmare, but it isn't as lovely as one might think. Ink only joined to expiriment with his vials. He wants to see if he can feel love, so his desire to be with the other two romantically isn't genuine. He does enjoy their company though.
- He'll still defend the aus from Error and Nightmare too.
(Before anything else, i'd like to mention that every character in this au can be shipped with whoever even if it isn't their "canon" ships. Only exception to this are proships like Dreammare.)
- He thinks Dream and anything related to Dream is boring.
- He finds Template silly, but vibes with him a lot.
- Will use Template to do his bidding from time to time.
- Every now and then he'll try ragebaiting Cross, but he knows that's Killer's job so it isn't that often.
- Interested in Swan and Swad as they technically went out of script in their au.
- He sometimes catches Fresh writing one of his newspapers, and gives him ideas on how to phrase sentences to dunk on others.
- Good at calculating, ironically.
- To draw, he only uses ink and washi (traditional japanese paper).
- Ink's puking has been replaced with an explosion. His core will burst with ink if he's excited, or when the vials lose their abilities (to dispose of them.)
- He calls this ^^^ a "nose bleed."
- Enjoys Nerikiri.
- Likes to dance. He dances in the antivoid regularly. Nightmare catches him doing so sometimes.
Can we see Dream!! And maybe hear about who his "boyfriends" might be? 👀
Absolutely!! Here he is, the silly little (tall) guy!!!
His entire bio will be posted below the cut, seeing the opportunity, since someday i'll make a masterpost anyway lol
As for his boyfriends, one is very stabby and the other is a little scared of cows... (It's Killer and Cross lmao)
- Protector of the Lighthouses and Aus.
- If he catches a traveler roaming the water, he'll inmidietly help them. (The antivoid is flooded and very clouded. Anyone that has been forced out of their au is automatically placed in a boat.)
- When becoming an outcode, Dream lost multiple bones. These bones were replaced by branches. (Becoming an Outcode physically changes you.)
- The top of his head has also opened up. It radiates light. The light becomes more intese the more positivity there is.
- Dream pulls his arrows from his halo.
- He and Swap are a duo.
- He doesn't approve of what Ink does (Ink bargains with sailors instead of inmidietly helping them.)
- Due to his grief, he believes Nightmare has been taken over by a parasite that is now trying to kill him. He despises this "parasite." This lie is what keeps him going. He is determined to "save" his brother. The rest of the sanses have decided not to tell him the truth or else who knows what would happen... Dream wouldn't be able to handle the fact that his brother is actively trying to kill him, and the hatred Dream senses whenever Nightmare sees him...
- Even if he doesn't work with him, he and Ink are in good terms. They'll fight alongside each other if the circumstances are given.
- Enjoys cherry blossoms' Sap. Doesn't have it in front of others though, is embarrassed by it. (No Dreammare implication here, stating this as Nightmare is not covered in goop, but sap.)
- He sings pretty.
- Dream used to speak old English but he was able to change his way of speech. The old English sometimes slips.
- He thought left-handed people were evil for a long while (the villagers taught him this, haha guess who's left handed!! He didn't know though). He now knows this is false.
- He thinks dreamcatchers are silly.
- Later gave in and made dreamcatchers his symbol.
- Has mastered flight in the anti void. His movements are very graceful. He's second best though, behind Error.
- Smokes at stressful situations. (Cmonnn, four amrs, four cigs.)
- The cigarettes' smoke is released from the top of his head.
