#nomad;

He has been traveling through timelines for... many many resets now. At first, it was an accident, a glitch, a loophole, a break in the system. It was like falling through the map while the world happened around him. But then it kept happening. And kept happening... When he found himself starting to separate from heart, mind, and body, he had to learn how to control it. He had some... help, but that allowed him to see something that no one was meant to see. Something... that sends a chill through every Sans when he's outside the boundary. Even for just a moment.

He's been running ever since.

Also, "he". (You know me and agendering my favourites.)

In typical Sans fashion, he makes jokes to cover his feelings, but he also jokes to masquerade as if he has any. The truest things he feels are fear and apathy. He tries hard to contain himself because his being is now tied to The Boundary; he doesn't want to risk anything he's running from to break that containment.

When he does feel, there are some side effects: black sludge when he's sad or overwhelmed; he starts to chip when he's angry; he dusts when he dissociates or has a vision...

He does have "tattoos", but they're actually bone carvings. Being that he has memories from every timeline he visits, and he's even given some depending on who he touches, he is starting to lose himself. He has engravings on himself to try and remember things. (He's even had others engrave him where he can't reach to help him remember...) The carvings are the only thing keeping him sane. They're steeped with magic and emotion. And they're the only things about him that still feel organically...

He's slowly losing himself... He's about to be caught in an inbetween place, and he's... terribly afraid of the dark.

Outside of that, he still tries to be present and enjoy fun. It breaks his heart when he has to leave a timeline, but he tries to visit. He knows it's bad to make connections, but... is it a crime to hate being alone?
