How would you describe your UT, UF, and US bois’ personalities? OwO
Ooh! This is such a fun question! These are about them after surfacing, since some of these guys definitely change with their environment. As usual, I’d like to say that these characters are a collaboration between my partner @jaxxwrites4you and I. ^^
Papyrus (UT Papyrus)
In a single word: optimistic. This isn’t to say that he’s “innocent” or “naive”- more so that he looks at things in their entirety and chooses to focus on the best of most people and situations. Papyrus has a remarkably strong moral compass; while he does actively seek to feel included, he won’t compromise those morals for anything. (Even in instances like a genocide playthrough- he knows what you’re doing, but morally, he just can’t bring himself to kill.) He’s also very intense in his love of things- his brother, his interests, etc. Not the type to give up easily, no matter what’s thrown at him! Truly working hard to earn the title of “The Great” Papyrus.
Sans (UT Sans)
Sans is laidback, but not exactly carefree. He certainly tries to be, but… He’s more observant than most, and the more you look at things the more little issues you start to see. He worries about them in the same way one might keep picking at a scab. He’s aware that resets have happened, but he doesn’t actually remember the events of any of them- which is both comforting and disturbing at the same time. He’s much better at masking than his brother. Of course, all that masking does keep him pretty exhausted most of the time. Ultimately, he just.. wants the best for the people around him. And he’s not afraid of putting work into making that a reality, even if just making jokes is a little easier.
Baroque (UF Papyrus)
Baroque is the type of man you can’t quite slip anything past. Usually, when he acts it’s on clear intentions- deliberate and thought through. His level of planning may be overkill to some, but to him it feels more like a safety-net of sorts. One that he feels he needs, even if there’s no longer any imminent threat on the horizon. The more prepared he is for what he’s facing now, the easier it will be to handle whatever he’s sure will go wrong. On the rare occasion that Baroque acts on impulse, it is in regard to his relationships- not necessarily just romantically, but platonically or familially as well. He knows that if he doesn’t act- if he hesitates, he may regret it. He’s very ambitious, too! Man knows what he wants, has a plan, and will do what he can to get it.
Grunge (UF Sans)
Grunge is his brother’s opposite, in a way. Usually, he’s laid-back and kinda impulsive. He wants to live his life to the fullest and enjoy things in the moment- the future is a future Grunge problem. The main place where this changes is his relationships. He cares a great deal more than he lets on about the people around him; in the sense that he doesn’t express it outwardly too often, not that he hides or denies it. As a result he thinks through his interactions with people and carefully plans difficult or tense conversations (for example, confessions or confrontations, etc.). Grunge feels like he’s fucked up enough and just doesn’t want to hurt anyone else. He doesn’t need lofty goals for the future, just good times with good people.
Clove (US Papyrus)
Clove is actually fairly guarded. He doesn’t need a wide net of friends to be happy, just a few close connections. To his chagrin, this sort of aloof vibe tends to draw in a lot of people who want to know him. Those few people he does allow to get close he cares a great deal about- sometimes he feels like maybe it’s too much. Clove is prone to making snap decisions and judgements- and he’s usually (annoyingly) right. Those times where he isn’t really trip him up and bite him in the metaphorical ass. He’s pretty hard on himself afterwards and feels like even if he’s been forgiven, he still needs to make it up. He struggles the most when he feels like he has no control over himself or a situation. Just wants to live a happy life with those he loves.
Ginger (US Sans)
Ginger works hard to put all the good he can into the world. To his credit, he’s fairly good at it! His cheery disposition tends to rub off on people. That being said, he knows when to dial it back and be a little more grounded. As chatty as he is he can be a good listener and when he does give advice it’s thoughtful. He worries a lot more than he lets on about the people he’s close to and when he’s particularly worried it manifests via more frequent check-ins or hangouts. Ginger is also fairly confident in himself- and has done a lot of work to get to that point. He used to overcompensate a lot. He’s also a very playful guy- more witty than you’d expect, and often very (jokingly) smug when receiving compliments or pulling one over on a friend.
