PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Sans isn't really a touchy-feely guy, though he might allow a hug under certain circumstances. If you try to grab him out of the blue, he's going to try to duck out of the way, and sudden surprising contact in general gets him to at least tense up (unless you're Papyrus). As a skeleton, he feels more round than a skeleton has any right to be, incidentally, unless you push hard enough, and then it's just hugging a skeleton and it's weird and also rude?

ROMANCE/FLIRTING: You can flirt with him all you want, but he's very unlikely to take it seriously and will probably just start making jokes about it. As for an actual relationship, it's very unlikely--Sans is not really in a great mental space for that right now. It's possible with development, but the kind of development that would get him to that point may never happen.

PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: For WSH, Sans will be slightly more resilient than he is in canon. In canon, he can't take a single hit, but for WSH, even in his skeleton form, he will have the same resilience as a human child. Of course, this still makes him overall fragile. Once regained, Sans will be vulnerable to the intent of those who attack him. The more you want to hurt him, the more damage you will do if you successfully hit him.

As a rule, Sans does not want to fight. If forced under normal circumstances, he's going to try to dodge and escape. He's very good at dodging, because at home if he got hit even once he would die. He's faster on his feet than he looks, and if he has the ability back he can teleport to dodge or just to leave immediately, which is what he's likely to do.

If Sans is in a serious fight with your character, Sans will aim to ruin them as quickly as possible. He will attack with as much overwhelming force as he is capable of as fast as he is capable of it, he will dodge as much as he can, and he will cheat in any way he can think of. He isn't here to play fair, he's here to get this over with. The chances of your character getting Sans this upset are extraordinarily slim.

DEATH: If you want to kill Sans, please talk it over with me first. I'm not against it, but I like to know how that sort of thing is going to work out ahead of time, and with a three-death limit, figuring things out is even more important. As a monster, Sans turns to dust when killed.

PSYCHIC ABILITIES: Sans doesn't have mental shielding, but he's very observant, and if he gets any idea that you're poking around in his head he's going to be upset and stay away from you. If your character is going to read his mind, just let me know so I can tell you more of his thoughts.

MAGIC/ETC.: As a monster, Sans is made almost entirely of magic. He feels a lot more magically powerful than you'd probably expect, considering his attitude... Sans does not give off any sort of undead aura, as he is not undead. He's a skeleton-shaped monster, not a reanimated skeleton.

IDENTIFYING FEATURES + MEDICAL INFORMATION: As a human, Sans looks like this. He is five feet tall. Can often be found wearing winter beanies and bobble hats.

As a skeleton, Sans looks like this. He is four feet tall.

Sans currently has a child-sized bite wound scar on his left forearm, accompanied by similarly child-sized scars from fingernails on either side of it.

OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & CONTENT WARNINGS: When it comes to Sans in a horror game, the subjects of time loops, time magic, and unreality are extremely likely to come up. I'll try to note when it happens, but this stuff is almost inevitable with Sans.

Additionally, Sans is depressed and nihilistic. This is also very likely to come up, and I will warn when it does. Sans is not actively suicidal, but does suffer from some suicidal ideation (ex. having the thought "it would be nice if I just didn't exist", but not having any active plans to kill himself). I will absolutely warn for any of this if it comes up, and in general I should be able to avoid this in a thread, because Sans absolutely does not want to talk about it.

OOC PERMISSIONS

PLAYER: Mel

PREFERRED CONTACT:

maiiau; PM

TAGGING TIMES/STYLE: I'm in EST; I tag more during the evening but I might tag at any moment if I have enough time to shoot something out. I will try to get back to you as soon as possible!

BACKTAGGING: I'm fine with this unless it gets really old. If it's not plot-important I might drop it, but you can always ask me and we can work out OOCly how things would have ended.

FOURTHWALLING: In general being like "I think you're a video game character" is fine. I don't want people knowing Sans's life specifically, though, because being secretive is kind of his thing.

THREADHOPPING/JACKING: This is fine with me as long as the post is open and it's okay with whoever I'm threading with and whoever made the initial post, if that happens to be a different, third person. You can always threadhop on open posts I make!

OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & CONTENT WARNINGS: Please warn for eye gore and ask me before you do anything that would cause eye gore to my characters. Once Sans is a skeleton, touching his eye sockets and even sticking your hand in is fine--it's specifically damage to eyeballs that bothers me.

ANYTHING ELSE: Given how old the tech here is, Sans will not be using comic sans font often, but if you don't want to see it at all, please comment here.
