Ink!Sans is a Sans variant created by Comyet (aka Mye Bi). He was a conceptional Sans who escaped an abandoned, and incomplete world through the destruction of his soul. Thanks to a paintbrush that fell into a void, he was able to gain the ability to create objects out of paint and ink. He now serves as the guardian of the scripts of the Undertale AUs.

Biography

Ink came from a conceptual AU that never got off the ground. He’s the first and only character with a true soul; yet despite his best efforts to improve and interact with the inhabitants in the AU, they never responded or showed any kind of reaction to his attempts. In a fit of despair, he destroyed his soul; accidentally causing him to stumble into the blank void. There he became an emotionless being alone in the vast space of emptiness.

Eventually, an ink brush (along with different kinds of paint) from an unknown artist fell into the blank canvas, each color imbuing him with feelings different from the last. After some time without color, though, he would revert to his emotionless self. Ink fixed this problem by filling vials with the colors that were splashed on him. It allowed him to pretend to have a soul so that he could feel it. Gradually, Ink used the colors from the creators to create the doodle-sphere.

Eventually, he stumbles upon a portal that leads to the source code where all of the paints and colors go. It doesn't take long for him to discover their true purpose; to imprint the Creators' Emotions in the forms of Undertale Fan work (AUs, Fan arts, etc.). Seeing this he concluded that, for him to remain in this fulfilling emotional state, He have to encourage the creators to keep making and maintaining their creations so that the paint keeps flowing through the doodle-sphere itself. Thus, to keep a steady supply of emotions for him to harness, he dedicates himself to being the Muse of the Undertale Creative Community, while he protects their creations from those who wish to harm them; be it vandals or any other off-scripted out!codes.

Profile

Appearance

Ink has black paint/ink on his right cheek. His eyes are usually a blue circle in the right eye socket and a star in the left. He dons a long-sleeved, white undershirt with a small brown jacket over it. His pants are overalls with the tops tucked into his waist. The legs are very wide at the bottom, with creases around the legs. He also has no shoes, instead, he goes barefoot with a pair of leggings.

He has a work belt crossing his chest, with rainbow paint vials (which have heart-shaped tops) on it. When Ink drinks the vials, he gets artificial emotions. On his back, he possesses his most powerful tool, an Inkbrush named Broomie.[citation needed]

Personality

Ink supports all kinds of art, like painting, literature, dance, music, etc. He is very passionate about art and likes to motivate characters and creators. He can change clothes on people just by using his brush, and he loves to create the kind of outfit they like. Even though he used art as a tool, no one saw his drawings or paintings. He is afraid of whiteness, of absence of presences or shapes around him, loneliness, huge empty spaces…

Ink! Sans tends to get too excited about things. He happens to sometimes randomly vomit ink, mostly when he gets too emotionally shaken, whether from passion or shock. He also has very short memory and will forget about different things - sometimes stopping mid-sentence to try and remember what he just said a few seconds before. This is why he takes notes on his scarf.

Ink does not appear as a perfectly well-behaved character. He can be inconsiderate, or even downright mocking and cruel, with his opinions, and deep down he sees other characters as fake story characters and not as creatures like him. He tends to be somewhat detached from his emotions. With him hardly having a proper social understanding, he’s blunt in his teasing and mocking just like in his ability to give support and to be kind. He’s a mischief-maker, and pranks are his guilty pleasure.

Ink approaches enemies carefully. He will never try to attack them first, but will mostly focus on trying to discover their motives and talk them through it. Although he does come off as a jerk on first impression, he does know what to analyze to understand the issue so he can brush people the right way and hopefully have them listen. Ink in general acts wittily and provocatively.

Abilities

With Broomie and his ink within his possession, he can perform feats such as.

  • Ink Hopping: Ink!Sans can appear everywhere in any AU of his liking from any kind of liquid. He uses them as Ink portals.
  • Creation: His big brush gives him the ability to create anything he likes and make it come to life, except for dead characters. Contrary to popular belief, however, he does not create AUs.
  • Ink Blasters: He can create Gaster Blasters that shoot ink that solidifies on contact.
  • Script reading: He can read the scripts of all of the Undertale AUs in existence, and thus knows the fate of all of its inhabitants.[2]

Relationships

Top!Gaster

The Gaster of UnderTop serves as one of Ink’s many father figures, as he considers the Guardian as a part of his family. He usually has talks with Ink about the cynical nature of the Multiverse, given that he rather not embrace his out!code status due to his dark past (especially when it comes to the genocide timelines of his AUs).

Zephyr!Gaster

The Gaster of Zephyrtale (Myebi’s first AU) became an out!code when he first met Top!Gaster, along with Ink!Sans soon after. After learning about the Multiverse from the two, he developed a passion for studying its nature with the help of the Script Guardian. With their friendship, Ink grows fond of learning to perform tasks without relying on his ink powers. He, like Top!Gaster sees him as a part of his family as well.

Error!Sans

Main article: Error!Sans

Though they have no canon relationship, he's often been depicted with the self-proclaimed purger of the Multiverse. It was due to their conflicting views on the multiverse itself that they're often at odds with each other (Ink claims that the Multiverse was perfect the way it is, while Error views it as an abomination).
