ADDITIONAL INFO

————————————

-Ink!Ralsei has never met Ink!Sans, he just likes to consider himself his “Partner”

-His favorite food is Soda or Smoothies.

-His counterpart is Error!Ralsei, created by @jjleaveshisstuffhere

^ They’re more like frenemies, only against each other for the jobs they were created.

-He is afraid of things that melt/drip. This was caused by page 15

^Yes, this was meant to be iconic for his scarf. Sometimes he doesn’t even realize his own scarf is melting/dripping, and when he does, he will forget.

^No, he doesn’t actually know why he serves this fear and what caused it.

-No, he does not remember his past. (Will also be told in the comic)

-Ink!Ralsei usually forgets he has hands, this is due to the fact that he over uses his scarf as them.

-His birthday is on 8th of June.

-Ralsei serves Phasmophobia, known as the phobia for ghosts.

-Ink Ralsei sometimes forgets his own job.

-No, Ralsei did not name his brush.

^Yes, only he can carry it.

^Ink Ralsei can also carry it with his hands, but prefers to use the scarf.

^Since his scarf is purely made out of ink, he can shapeshift it into whatever he wants, but prefers a scarf to keep the “Ralsei design” gang.

-Unlike Ink!Sans, Ink!Ralsei is not fully aware of the creators. He just knows that “outside forces exist and I must help them.”, he doesn’t actually know they/we are real prople who create them.

-He will sometimes break the fourth wall on accident.

-He is naive but not a fool, and if he sees that there is no reason to end a certain conflict he will be forced to fight.

-Yes, his scarf does suck up the ink inside of him. When the scarf disappears, that’s when you hit the jackbox and will be able to tell he doesn’t have emotions anymore.

^He has to take vials more regularly than Ink!Sans.

^He isn’t really a skilled fighter. Especially when it comes to managing the ink inside of him before it runs out.

-No, Ink!Ralsei does not have a “base” like Ink!Sans and the Doodle Sphere. He usually navigates in random AUs and stays there, until he moves to the next one.

-Ralsei never likes to start a thing and not finish it.

^He somtimes does forget he starts things.

-Ink!Ralsei has a dusty memory, but not like Ink!Sans to forget what topic they were on.

-Ink!Ralsei is a bit taller than an average Ralsei.

^He sometimes wishes he was the same size.

-Ralsei isn’t fully aware that other beings have actual feelings, so he can sometimes say rather offensive jokes, realizing only seconds later that “Wait, they have feelings-“

-Yes, his ears are messy and fluffy. I made his design/art intentionally like that

Unfortunately I’m not that active on social media aside from tumblr and twitter. But on twitter I post about the same as on tumblr, albeit it has less UT content. Sorry :( I promise to try and be more active

oh yeah… I guess no info was revealed on him was there

Ohh boy

Error Ralsei was the first out of the 2 to be created, and it wasn’t by me, but by my friend (mentioned in the pinned post as well). He was mentioned several times throughout the blog. His first mention was from this post and his first canonical story appearance was in the last chapter of Ink Ralsei’s tale. His next story appearance was in this unfinished comic which would have ended like this

His original backstory differs than his present day one (much akin to ink, actually). In the original backstory, Error Ralsei came to be due to a corrupted SAVE FILE that sent him into an Anti Void. Much similar to Error Sans, he lost his mind in there and became an Error while watching what he considered a “vicious cycle of genocide, reset, repeat”. He erases universes because he considers it mercy from that repetition, mentioned earlier in the other ask.

this is just a lil drawing of Error’s first design

The concept around “erasing for mercy” still stayed the same, but his backstory differs. Present Error Ralsei originates from a timeline with an unfinished scripted story. In this world, Susie and Kris never came to him due to the fact that it wasn’t written to be. But he broke the rules. He rushed towards King in an attempt to do something rather than wait more and have nothing happen, but before he could even leave Castle Town, his world glitched into an Anti-Void. This was due to the fact that he went beyond the script, which caused an error in the system. The same flow as the original story goes, he loses his mind after seeing genocide timelines, and turns into an error with that as his last thought.

Error Ralsei functions nearly the same as Error Sans in terms of abilities. He uses strings to erase universes and to take control of/extract SOULS (although, he rarely does this). Different from his main counterpart is that instead of them coming from his “tears”, his scarf unravels into strings.

There was going to be a grand reveal that Error and Ink both originated from the same deserted timeline. Ink Ralsei turned out to be what remained of the original story, while Error Ralsei is the Ralsei from the transferred timeline (which, never got finished either anyway. But it didn’t end up being “scrapped” like Ink’s universe).

Error also went through a redesign or two. He was actually the first one to get a redesign, even prior to Ink, which is the current one that we see and know.

Then there was going to be a second redesign (forgot why), but there was also going to be a tweak in his backstory, where he would have tried to cast a spell during the universe’s self collapse, erasing his arms in the process. This design was neither scrapped or used, due to the fact that I dropped Ink Ralsei as a whole, with Error’s tweaks as well.

That’s all I think

HI YES I FINALLY GOT TO THIS (I had this entire post in my drafts ever since I got it)

1. Ink Ralsei sees him as a partner in their help to “save the multiverse”, despite the fact that they never physically met. If the two were to meet, Ralsei would be excited (in a failed attempt to keep looking cool) but he’d also pretend to know Ink as a friend. While Ink…would most likely be incredibly confused.

2.In my take of Ink Ralsei, Deltarune is part of the Undertale multiverse as a mini multiverse. A circle within a circle. So, yes.

3. Interesting question. There’s multiple ways this can go, because Ink Ralsei doesn’t have the same mindset as Ink Sans does.

Ralsei doesn’t seek endless entertainment, which is what Ink was after to begin with in UVS. He created a game with XGaster as a means to fill his boring life, especially after the truce he made with Error. His game was also made out of the sake of his own desperation, as, well, the universes, though not sacred, were at least halved. Seeing XGaster needing inspiration, with the fact that his own memory was terrible, prompted him to help his new “friend”, which lead to the game that is the XEvent.

Ralsei doesn’t want any of that. He still has a rather vague understanding of what true emotion is, but he understands that the people living inside those universes are also people like him, not just scripted characters for a story (like Ink sees them). He’s very much going to disturb stories if he feels the need to intervene in them (not every genocide route he sees, but he definitely has interrupted several stories, which goes against Ink Sans’s job.)

There’s also the fact that, if half of the multiverse were to disappear, Ralsei probably wouldn’t even be aware of it. Aside from that, him and Error wouldn’t create a truce like that. Error and Ink Ralsei in this multiverse are small compared to the other Ink-Error counterparts. Ink Ralsei doesn’t take his “job” seriously, and sometimes they even spare each other from saving-deleting a universe. They’re both friends, they visit each other for conversations when they aren’t fighting.

Another thing to take into account is that Ink Ralsei doesn’t have a base. Within Underverse’s logic, there’d be no doodle sphere Error Ralsei’d know of to erase ALL the universes (sans the main one, which would be Undertale-Deltarune). Error Ralsei also wouldn’t want to erase all the universes, his main goal is to erase universes with a bad ending specifically. More onto that later.

When Ink Ralsei were to see XGaster in this scenario, he’d certainly be amazed that he can create whatever he wants with that power. He’d feel bad for XGaster’s lack of motivation, but I’m not even sure he could motivate him enough (or if the idea of showing up other universes would even pop in his head). If that does happen, then he’d keep it up to see XGaster happy. He’d tell Error about his experiences with XGaster, and eventually the “game” they proposed. Error’d obviously be highly suspicious of this guy, with every right. The one true problem with this is that Error Ralsei despises seeing other universes suffer, hence why he even erases them. He sees erasure as “mercy” from never ending suffering, from either The Player or external sources. That’s going to be an important part later.

Throughout XTale, XGaster goes mad and becomes corrupt with power. He closes himself and becomes absorbed by loneliness in the processes, which Ralsei wouldn’t be aware of. XTale’s story proceeds as usual, including the the 9th timeline, where Ralsei is asked to keep half of XGaster’s soul for later, and to humor “The XEvent”, with the second act of their game starting. The universe ends up being deleted, and Ralsei’d want to visit to check up on how things are going, just to see everything empty. He wouldn’t even know how he got there, seeing as there were no liquids nearby, until he’d spot purple tears and someone in the distance. Of course that’s Cross.

Ralsei’d try to approach Cross about what happened in here, obviously not working. He’d wait for the skeleton to calm down, break the ice through drawings and learn what happens here. Ink’d think this is what XGaster meant by “humoring” the XEvent, so he rolled along with whatever was said. They become friends, they goof around, everything proceeds as normally. When Error tries to erase the universe, Ink intervenes and the 2 have a fight over it. It comes down to a stalemate, and they have a discussion about it later. Ink tries to explain to his friend that it’s all part of the game, and that they’re just supposed to humor it. Error gets heavily upset by that, due to the fact that he sees the XTale universe and Cross as a bad ending, where it’s only suffering. When Error (followed by Ink) tries to go and erase Cross and XTale as a whole, he’s not there.

Cross and XChara have planned already to recreate their universe by stealing from others, and this is where Error and Ink agree that they first have to find him and stop him from whatever he’s doing.

I might continue this later if not you can come up with your own interpretation!!

Happy birthday Aftergrave!

i kind of lost motivation on a lot of stuff, but i do have some evil evil plans ongoing, that hopefully will get it 100% done at some point

In the meantime, I redrew an old panel from the ink ralsei comic

Now I go back in the corner and hopefully emerge again with brand new content
