Papyrus & Sans Character descriptions!
I thought it would be cool to write some descriptions on how I characterise the boys and their alternate versions since I'm doing an ask blog for them, to give a little bit more insight on their personalities :]
If you like my characterisations of them, know that my asks are currently open!
Swapfell Papyrus (Cash): laid back and goofy, has a dangerous edge to him however. He's materialistic all the way, money rules the world especially in his underground, theres a lot of things you can get this man to do for $20... Also very much the trouble maker and that includes the law, little to no respect for authority, fuck 12. He's a man the deeply believes in earning respect rather then something that is inherently given. Somewhat of a klepto, above ground he attempts to be a little more graceful with the five finger discount after a few scoldings but there's always a certain itch he just has to scratch... Actually very fashion forward, he's always in that drip. Does IT for work and likes coding little games and listens to darktrap and funk mostly. Enjoys betting and gambling alot along with his brother because they are chronic cheaters lol. Somewhat of a flirt/tease. Sweet chilli is the sauce of choice.
Swapfell sans [Poison]: Brutally honest, nearly never lies. Somewhat eccentric, likes odd and off-putting things, such as taxidermy, you'd have a good chance finding him at one of those oddity festivals. Charismatic but calculating and manipulative, more by lies of omission than direct lying. Big devils advocate, finds a certain thrill in trying to push the right buttons, see what people really think and believe. Hes the kind of guy that expects to the worst from everybody that isnt his brother, its just a matter of when it will come out and as such it takes an extrodinary amount of trust to break down his walls. He is someone that enjoys prompting people to think a little on the deeper or more out of the box ends of things. Enjoys spicy food a lot, will turn his nose up to anything too bland. Is the kind of person to just wander off and do his own thing if he is disinterested in whatever conversation he's in and has little regard for social ques. If he actually likes you, you will be the first person he comes to rant about whatever little thing he has found interesting and is actually a big yapper.
Fellswap Papyrus [Mutt]: cold and guarded, somewhat of a mean sense of humour, quiet unless he likes you, loyal to a fault particularly to his brother. Protective and possessive. Has a more dry sense of humour. Can come off as reserved but it's more that he is very selective with who he chooses to give his time too. Has a sharp tongue when angered or shown disrespect, his name might be Mutt but he's no bark and all teeth. Ever watching. He's the kind of guy who just knows things, things from the niche people you might need to know to hook you up with something or that small passing by comment you made two weeks ago that you didn't think he was around to hear.. Has a somewhat pessimistic viewpoint on life, and uses the people he cares for deeply as a driving point to keep going. Struggles to let others in despite, perhaps unknowingly, deeply craving to be understood. Actually has a major sweettooth, big fan of anything red Velvet flavoured.
Has a knack for robotics and engineering, will whip together little drones or robots of mass inconvience. A real softy with his loved ones, very affectionate and gentle but can teeter on possesive at times. Listens to a lot of rap and metal.
Fellswap Sans (Lord): quiet, but plotting. Has a very quick and cunning mind, is the type that leaves you feeling as if you were two steps behind the whole time. Can be easy to anger and thus is the only time he is impulsive in his actions. Enjoys things such as chess and other strategy based games and activities. Can be seen as very cruel but unbelievably soft to the people he loves but will only ever display that side in private. Fears intimacy however, afraid that he could not be gentle enough with them and end up hurting them. Ambitious,. Enjoys reality Tv and watches them often. Definitely a bit of a shit stirrer, will pretend to be uninterested while others gossip but secretly lives for it.
Fellswap Gold Papyrus [Coffee]: very very quiet and reserved at surface level, also comes off as very rude in the sense that if he doesn't know you and you sit near him/stand near him he will actively move away and will avoid you/ignore you but it often comes out of a place of extreme social anxiety but is relatively good at masking this. Loves art as well and uses digital art as an escape. Very very playful and handsy when he likes/trusts you, big gamer, loves small open world indie games like stardew valley and Minecraft & enjoys romance and fluffy movies/stories. Has to be pushed to get to this point but isnt afraid of violence to protect those he cares for in situations where he feels like he has to protect his loved ones. Low self esteem and can get snappy when something he is insecure about is brought up even if it was well intentioned. Enjoys most sauces but drink of choice is actually a drink (surprisingly) being (unsurprisingly) Coffee. Listens to a lot of rap & indie. Collects music CDs and cool stickers.
Fellswap Gold Sans [Wine]: gives major CEO energy, always right never wrong vibes too, has a way of making you double guess anything, could convince you the sky is green if he wanted to. insanely protective over his brother but really just wants what's best for him. Huge fan of wine hence the name. enjoys art culture and history and thus often visits art museums and galleries, coffee's #1 fan in terms of his art. Likes to read & watch documentaries, loves to learn. Cunning & cutthroat. This one will happily lie to you and knows all the right words to get you to fold like puddy in his hands. Power hungry as hell as in his world, position was the only thing keeping you safe and by extention his brother safe. Does work as a lawyer and is very passionate about politics but will happily cut the law to get what he wants. Is the type to follow the "You must knows the rules to break them properly" saying. Ultimately craves security for him and his loved ones, and will do so by any means he knows how.
Underswap Papyrus [Slim]: super laid back and unjudgemental (except for the things that matter). always up to trouble with his schemes and chaos. Practical joker but has a respect for puns. Chemistry dork, do expect to find random potion like concoctions around the house, whether they're explosive or not is always a 50/50 and there's only one way to find out.. Huge sweet tooth, drinks honey but enjoys most sweet things. Can bake a couple things if he feels up to it but is P lazy. Since transferred to vapes instead of Trad monster cigs since coming to the surface as they're sweeter, mango is his favourite, smoking is a thing he does to relax as he struggles with a lot of stress. Big fan of creative writing but is one of the few things he is kind of shy about. Also into horoscopes and zodiac signs and crystals and that kinda shit. Likes smelly shit like sweet perfumes and incense. Enjoys gaming from time to time as well but not very competitive he just likes sabotaging everyone else lol. Can be a bit awkward at times particularly if he's a bit nervous. Naturally a bit untrusting but usually still friendly unless given a reason otherwise.
Underswap Sans [Azure]: very energetic and charismatic. Always looks for the best in people but refuses to be ignorant to the bad, is far more perceptive then he lets on. Will never judge someone without first giving them a chance but can be surprisingly harsh and cold to those he believes to be bad people. Despite his golden retriever energy he loves more rebellious shit like motorcycles (which he rides and loves) and metal music. Loves a good puzzle but prefers practical puzzles like escape rooms, obstacle courses and even video games over things like jigsaw puzzles and crosswords. Loves riddles however. Pretends to hate puns because of his brothers dramatic overuse of them however on rare occasions he pops a pun himself from time to time. Always picking up baked treats and little crystals/incense etc for his brother and is naturally very generous towards his friends. At times can push himself a little too far to sort of 'prove himself', is often infantised and can often pressure himself into things in order to prove his competence and sense of independence.
Underfell Papyrus [Boss]: Stern and by the book, somewhat self obsessed and ruthlessly ambitious in terms of self improvement, constantly grinding to be stronger, faster, smarter etc. by far the best cook in the house and has a ginormous passion for cooking which he views very much like an art form. Loves upper class dining and enjoys food critiquing. Also very much enjoys reality TV lol but kitchen nightmares is his favourite. Has a cat named doomfanger who is an asshole who hates everybody. Impatient and irritable with strong boundaries and a large need of personal space however all is mostly a defence mechanism, has a rocky but very close and unbreakable relationship with his brother that they are working on together as messy as it is between these emotionally stumped brothers. Loves luxury cars and vehicles.
Underfell Sans [Red]: Crass and flirtatious but respective of boundaries. Mean in general but often comes off even more so then he intends as he's got a very mean humour at times paired with being blunt and honestly isnt the most considerate. Struggles with a bit of anxiety himself but it manifests mostly as outbursts and irritability. Big drinker but is mostly getting it underwraps with his brothers support. Enjoys metal music primarily but also enjoys mainstream music but would rather dust before he let someone else know about that. HUGEEEE softy but you will rarely if ever see it, has the thickest stone walls up but all he wants to do is feel safe and be soft with the people he cares about but doesn't know how to go about doing that or the process to get there. Has a mix between a very blunt and a very teasing sense of humour depending on his mood. Likes physics. Enjoys helping people out but you only if you stroke his ego a little first, it makes him feel useful though he'll still pretend to be a dick about it. Very reliable and loyal to those he trusts and will always have your back, huge sweetheart even with his mean edge to his friends and family particularly as he develops emotionally and becomes more intune with his emotions.
Undertale Papyrus: bubbly and brave, always striving to make the world kinder everyday but still learning to how to set stronger boundaries and not allow himself to be walked over. Despite his big persona he struggles with his self esteem to a degree too though he tried to keep those feelings from his ever perceptive brother Sans whos always right there to cheer him back up. Somewhat oblivious but it mostly comes out of his infectious optimism. Has a natural charm and gentlemanly feel to him, and is a lot more down to earth and calm as he gets comfortable around you as he often amps up his big personality out of need to try and present himself as being more likeable as he struggles with rejection and not feeling needed/wanted. Very hard to not get along with even with those that view him as more annoying due to his persistent kindness. Very patient and slow to anger despite his playful frustrations towards certain household members. The monster mascot. Very sociable and loves getting to know all kinds of people, one of the most considerate and accommodating people you will ever meet and is always very mindful of his friends and family though sometimes can get ahead of himself when particularly passionate about something. Very brave and loves a good challenge and adventure, goes hiking/camping often occasionally with Sans and other friends. Is the type to watch those 'wilderness survival tips' tikoks and is always diy-ing some survival item out of random things he's found in the backyard.
Undertale Sans: Dad energy for sure. Goofy and cheesy ass humour, a huge nerd and lover of all things science but especially drawn towards physics and astronomy which he will nerd out about if he feels comfortable with you. Chronically stressed always worrying about something but especially his friends and family. needs to learn to prioritise himself and his needs from time to time as he often neglects his own health and happiness especially for his brother. Very caring and gentle but trust issues is strong with this one particularly around humans, though a general distrust of humans is pretty much universal in monsters and honestly warranted lmfao. Enjoys lazing around and goofn but always feels burdened by the huge responsibilities on his shoulders and is attempting to develop healthier coping mechanisms around it but it often manifests as escapesism.
