Sans' age is actually a bit of a spoiler. I will say that I don't think he has a morally questionable level of maturity compared to Frisk; I know it's cringey to say "She's mature for her age!" but she's mature for any damn age. Meanwhile, he's a murder machine with high LV and a janky memory. It works, somehow.

Her dad, on the other hand

OF COURSE, TOUYA, HE’S GETTING MARRIED, HE’S JUST A LITTLE NERVOUS YOU KNOW

LOOK, LOOK! HERE COMES THE BRIDE

No one still alive can remember what started the last great War- World War III. Oil was obsolete with the invention of vehicles and ships that could travel the entire globe in a day after absorbing ten minutes of sunlight. Fertile farming land had been cultivated in all of the previously barren corners of the world. Technology had advanced at an exponential rate and was available in every country. Some say the war was fought over power or population while the most widely accepted theory was over money or some sort of foolish greed.

But maybe a society like that, thriving and equal, just can’t last.

New technologically advanced bombs filled the sky, leaving cities with lesser defense grids decimated. Millions died as the war raged for three long years of hell. The governments and hierarchies crumbled and deteriorated until most people were simply fighting to survive. From the ashes of the old systems, ambitious corporations rose. The driven and the devious that still had money founded their own companies, constantly seeking to gain more and more power. The orphaned soldiers, remnants of the former armies, were given two options: join the companies or be killed. Thousands refused and took up arms all over the world to defend the remaining free cities while thousands more joined the ranks of the companies’ own private militias.

While pockets of the resisting freedom fighters still cling to their survival, only Dallas remains as a city free of company control in the no-man’s land between the opposing Valhalla and Quake. These survivors call themselves Last Stand after the symbol of resistance that the battle for Dallas inspired.

In the end, three years was all it took to plunge the planet from accomplishment and order into chaos and destruction. Eleven companies remain from the original fifteen that rose. As they each continue to fight for complete dominance they developed elite groups called Aces whose jobs include infiltration and assassination. Aces, analysts, and their ruthless leaders, none were immune from loss in this new world order, but it was to be their choices that would define the future of the human race.
