I never talk about them really, but the list of allies Void has and works with has expanded quite a lot since the whole idea of a “council” came up. It was actually one such idea for Void that initiated Glitchedswap and eventually Dos!
He made a brief appearance in that one celebration fic with Void, but Comet (UT Comic Papyrus) is usually Void’s first interaction with the multiverse! He usually also winds up working with the other three comic papyruses, Star (US), Nova (SF), and Solar (UF), though Nova is kind of an asshole and Solar is only marginally more tolerable lol
In one of the other celebration fics we meet Wingdings, and I’ve even drawn them together before! But he was a Tale variant Gaster Void rescued, and sort of becomes like an adopted…uncle? To him? It’s strange because their age difference isn’t that great due to both of their natural aging processes being halted by the void, and Gaster’s own boys were pretty young when he became trapped. Still, after years of getting to know each other and Wingdings recovering from the psychological toll his “situation” took, they definitely consider each other family, even if they don’t directly address it.
When applicable, Chara can actually linger around Void like they can with Frisk. He can see them and interact with them, and they’d actually met when Void was very young. Chara became a ghost much earlier on in VF, and met him at the labs. I have a wip comic of the two of them, I would love to finish it one day, their relationship is very sweet <3
Ash is another friend of Void’s, whomst I’ve mentioned before! An Asriel variant who is kind of intense but usually well meaning! He considers himself like an older brother to Void, while Void kind of sees him more like an…ally mentor cousin guy?? They have a lot of mutual respect for each other!
In some variants, waaay far in the future, Dos becomes a sort of mentee of Void’s. A little like a sidekick, if you will. They wind up very close, and Void is one of the few people Dos comes to feel wholly comfortable around <3
Void is a chronic people adopter. It’s terminal /j But fr, despite outwardly usually coming across a bit terse and cold, he warms up easily and becomes attached quicker than he likes aha
Cosine isn’t entirely an UT oc, but when I put them in that domain, he is a monster who got separated from his family and universe, what tore them away affecting their coding and making them a bit visually off as well as damaging his memory so he can’t actually remember where he came from. Void unintentionally winds up a sort of adopted dad/uncle to them, and they wind up living with him for a time, traveling together sometimes when searching for Cosine’s universe, since his damaged coding makes it harder to locate.
In applicable iterations, Perp and Void actually wind up with a better, healthier relationship than Edge and Red, since they have to overcome a lot more and actually communicate once everything comes to light (Perp didn’t know Papyrus was a vessel for…too long).
Speaking of too long! I’ll stop there so this post doesn’t get out of control agdhsj
I’m procrastinating so I’m going to make a post about Ash.
Ash is an outcode(?) Asriel I first conceptualized…twoish years ago?? His “AU” wasn’t actually just an AU, it existed within the multiverse with partial awareness of it, of the “original” universe, etc, and would sometimes interact with travelers or others who exist partially outside of the standard universes.
I won’t get too into it, but Ash wound up trapped outside of his home universe before a war broke out. His code became altered by the places he was trapped before ultimately finding a way back, but by that point it was too late and very little was left of the home he loved. He did what he could, but after a time, he left, traveling out into the multiverse. Initially, he sought revenge against some of those responsible for the many hardships in his life, but eventually, he began to move past what happened, both before and after the war, and now spends much of his time helping others protect and stabilize the “timelines”.
Some fun facts. He has a soft spot for kids and Papyruses (he eventually becomes close with Void), though he also tends to try not to forge any strong emotional bonds. He prefers to be more of a loner, but he’s not cold to others, either. He fights with his dual blades, but practices archery as a hobby, and eventually takes up knitting, too. He reads (mostly fiction) and journals often, spending personal time exploring and camping in the denser, more nature-y parts of his favored verses. He loves scones, especially Void’s earl grey lavender scones, but isn’t much for baking or cooking himself, outside of what he needs to do to feed himself. Beside Void, he gets along well with Star (Swap Comic Papyrus), and a yet un-nicknamed older “monster” demi-god…guy (who basically becomes everyone’s adopted grandpa). Frivolous technology confuses him, but he actually isn’t too bad with science stuff! Also loves to star gaze…
Ash is probably around 7’ tall, he has light grey fur that’s a little course but softer underneath, he keeps his horns trimmed for reasons he doesn’t talk about and has a large burn-like scar over the left side of his face. He’s mostly blind in that eye, but can see vague impressions of soul presences through it. He’s generally kind and respectful, but he is fierce in what he believes and not someone you’d want to make an enemy of. He’s a good boy and I love him.
