Ink Sans

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 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.

Ink has black ink on his right cheek and two different eyes: a blue circle in the right socket and a yellow star in the left. He wears a white undershirt, a brown jacket, wide overalls with tucked-in tops, and leggings, going barefoot. A work belt crosses his chest, holding rainbow paint vials. When he drinks from them, he gains artificial emotions. On his back is his powerful tool, Broomie, a large Inkbrush. His eye color changes based on his emotions. His pants are overalls with the tops tucked into his waist. The legs are very wide at the bottom, with creases around the legs. Ink can also form what’s called an ecto-body/ecto-skin that can be used to form things like parts of different sex’s like a cock, a vagina, or even just breasts (although he tries his best to be Asexual and Aromantic so he won’t hurt others and himself with his soulless self).

Ink supports all kinds of art. He’s 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 uses art, no one sees his drawings/paintings. He’s afraid of the color white, absence of presences or shapes around him, loneliness, and huge empty spaces. Ink 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 a 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 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’ll 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. However, he has no soul, and relies heavily on emotion vials. If he stops taking the emotion vials for a certain period of time, he will lose all emotion that he once had and is unable to do any sort of action. Overall, this proves him as being villainous and selfish without the "emotion vials". Ink plays the flute in his spare time. He loses his pencils all the time. Ink snorts when he giggles. Ink is ambidextrous. Ink also blushes in rainbow and happens to grow rainbow freckles when he is positively emotional.

The Doodle Sphere is Ink’s personal multiverse and homeworld. It is a colorful world where he monitor the AUs and collect paint from each of them.

Contrary to its depiction in Underverse (which shows a large golden void filled with papers that are hung up by a pale yellow string each), it was filled with Big floating paint buckets as opposed to sheets of paper. Each of those paint buckets represent a AU (Alternate Universe) while the content inside them serves as a portal. It functions simular to that of a website of short, with the multiverse’s core code is the HTML and his Doodle sphere is the CSS that goes with it. Though this, arguably, makes the entirety of the Undertale Multiverse code base as each AUs were basically webpages. Additionally, large floating rocks provide platforms for AU characters to stand on as they navigate the Doodle Sphere.

Although it is his home, Ink tends to travel more often than not; and he occasionally return there to refill his vials and to check on the status of the AUs he monitors.
