Epic Sans Character Interpretation Masterlist
Some of this is canon, but for the most part this is my interpretation of the character. I might expand on or add on to this later if I forget anything or want to add on. I hope this helps!
Since Yugo is Filipino, I like to Hc that Epic is too and speaks Tagalog
And has other cultural mannerisms like not wear shoes in indoor living spaces and the only footwear would be house slippers
Epic and his Papyrus were created from test tubes
To make them, EpicGaster cut out holes in his palms.
Epic was created first years before Papyrusāit was never said when, but I believe Epic is at least 16 years or so older than EpicPapyrus and raised him given that Epic was old enough to work in a lab with EpicGaster but was clearly still younger than the other adult assistants
EpicGaster caused both the holes in Epicās hands
And itās why Epic hates them
Just like his Eye. Itās why he wears fingerless gloves and keeps his left eye closed most of the time
Epicās magic, unlike all other monsters (I guess the exception could be snow types like Snowdrake but even then I think heād be colder) is cold because of the Eye
If Epic is killed/dies, the Eye will regenerate him to his previously unaffected state
However, if Epic is nonlethally injured, the injury will remain and heal at a faster rate than normal monsters, but the damage is not immediately undone like it would be if he died. Epic hates dying, so heād take getting injured over dying even if it means heāll scar/need to rely on his regenerative healing factor.
Epic is a genius given he was one of the Royal Scientists and worked with EpicGaster in his studies at a very young age
He has multiple PhDs (in what I assume are physics and such) and I believe has knowledge of and can vaguely see/understand a universeās Code.
Epic loves manga and anime and makes it his job to enlighten his friends
It is his sacred duty to āmake them men of cultureā as well
Epic is a weeb and has tons of silly merch and collectibles
it also makes me think heād do a lot of casual cosplay, like maybe wear Vash Stampedeās trenchcoat, but purple, and stuff like that
Epicās style is primarily masculine, but he does enjoy gender nonconforming and feminine fashion as well
Ofc, he also enjoys clothes that reference or allude to memes and pop culture. Some examples of his favorites are Cookie Monster, Shrek, Dragonball Z, and Trigun Stampede
Epic studied his Code in the past to stop dying in his dreams from the Eye.
When EpicGaster fell into the Void, he was no longer able to see through the Eye in Epicās body. Itās a little comfort to Epic, though, and he hates and fears his Eye more than anything else
Epic is extremely depressed and often exhausted due to dying in his sleep and developing a high LV because of it. He hides behind an overly cheerful faƧade not as a lie but basically to āfake it ātil he makes itā
And he is a goofy guy! I think most of it is genuine if not exaggerated
Itās easy for Epic to get emotionally blunted or numb bc of the sleep deprivation and LV, and he tries to hide this by keeping up his goofy memelord personality.
Heās used to running on little to no sleep after forcing himself to get used to it to avoid the nightmares. Heās constantly snacking on sweets and caffeinated drinks as a result
A bunch of silly headcanons that @vantriloquist came up with along with a few additions of my own that I think scream Epic
Cw: suggestive for this HC and the art but itās all SFW:
Epicās always carrying around condoms to use for a bit/joke that he accidentally develops the habit of nibbling on a condom wrapper whenever heās stressed
He makes sure no one sees him do it but he kicks himself for making a bit become an addiction xD Now heās got an oral fixation and a biting k*nk and itās no one elseās fault but his.
Or heās joked about them for sexy times so much that now heās Pavloved himself to get horny whenever he or someone else holds a packet
Epic loves kids: the best āBruhncleā ever
He loves playing with them and every child he was shown interacting with had a good time with him, like TK, Goth, baby Epic!Asriel and Palette Roller
I think Epic wants kids of his own with a loving partner but has accepted it as more of an out of reach fantasy. If he does have kids of his own he strikes me as a total wonderful girl dad whoād love the tea parties and Barbie dressups theyād do together
I think bc of this heād be very protective of kids in general
Epicās friends mean the world to him. Look at how much he adores Cross and would do anything for his best friend
Epic got body pillows, like his condoms and rubber chickens, as a bit
However, there is only one heās serious about: his Hatsune Miku body pillow of grandma Miku from the AMV by Deco27 in the song called Blue Planet and is very proud of his GILF
He got a Cross body pillow as a joke and would send screenshots to Cross about taking his new best friend out to hang. Cross got jealous and stole the pillow and burned it later
Earnest and sweet, heās an absolute goofball. Think corny and so wholesome you donāt even feel the cringe anymore. Iām talking he takes you out on a date for a beautiful picnic with goodies he made and bought and when the sun sets heād pose with a rose in his mouth and lay on his side with an arm at his waist and wiggle his boney brows when he asks āya like jazz?ā
Heād tell Cross āyo, I didnāt know my place was an art gallery since youāre drawinā straight up masterpieces here bruh!ā
Epic would tell Killer that he loved the outfit the fashionista made for him and that he loved it so much he wanted to ālovingly bite his fingers off/posā
His flirts and compliments are memes and an unholy amalgamation of modern day and outdated lingo; nothing to make anyone uncomfortable however, consent and boundaries are important to Epic, especially after most of his were violated for the better part of his formative years by EpicGaster (shit parenting and because EG could see through the Eye, so Epic had little to no privacy or autonomy)
Like the rest of the Chromatic Crew, Epic has some meta abilities and occasionally breaks the fourth wall
For example, he can see Colorās flavor text and jokes that Color is the doge meme, much to Colorās befuddlement (my links arenāt working here so try checking out @toffeebrew they did such cute art about this)
Epic flirts but give him a genuine flirt or compliment? Bashful and shy heās a blushy mess
Call him the cutest and sweetest man youāve ever met and he forgets his own name in the melted puddle he becomes
Over twenty years of nonstop fighting in his sleep and gaining LV from killing the creatures of the Eye has made Epic a magic powerhouse
His mana is off the charts and itās why he can keep up with Cross, a monster whose Soul was half of a Determined humans and now possessed DT even after his split from XChara
He doesnāt work out extensively like Cross but they do spar, as do him and Delta and occasionally Killer to socialize and not because he wants to keep his body in shape/muscled like Cross or Delta or even toned like Killer but bc he wants to stay agile and sharp against the Eye
He and Cross play fight and rough house a lot too. It may look scary to an outside observer, them snarling and growling and biting at each other like feral animals, but theyāre having a blast and laugh right after and gently headbonk when itās all done and cuddle after cooling down and play video games or smth
Some of his favorite dates are the stargazing ones or ones in Outertale
He has space themed clothes and outfits
When he and Papyrus were younger, Epic got stencils and threw buckets of ultraviolet paint on their bedroom walls to make glow in the dark galaxies and constellations
