You mentioned Ref's brother Keepsake, and he sounds like an interesting character! I was wondering what he looked like. Did he have the same appearance as UT! Paps or did he have his own type of clothing style?
This here is Keepsake’s original sketch (which I just finished colouring in to show you!)
I would like to say he has his own little thing going on! Keeps loves thrifted and handmade clothing, nothin is better than wearing something either he or his loved ones have made.
The only exceptions are his boots and gloves which are safe for use in and out of the labs! Keeps often gloats about how he doesn’t have to change shoes when experimenting in the basement of their house, well he USED to gloat anyway. Ref used to have to put on boots because wearing his slides (That make him look homeless, according to Keeps) just doesn’t cut it.
You might be wondering what the markings on him are! Those are actually pigment discolouration he developed due to skewif and weak magic. When he was younger he got bullied for it, but Ref used to say it just looked badass and hype his little brother up. His weak magic has also sadly made him a tad shorter than other Papyri and quickly crushed any hopes of getting in the Royal Guard. So instead Keeps went for the Royal Scientist role as well as becoming a teacher. He encouraged Ref to take his Judge and Royal Guard job full-time.
The magic he does have is a soft baby blue! He is incapable of summoning any coloured attacks, special attacks or special magic skills (teleportation). He mainly focuses on making complex bone structures, which he uses as tools at times. Keeps runs out of magic quickly. He noticed Referee had the opposite issue, too much magic, so he began collecting the magic in it’s raw form from Ref (who happily gave it up), and made small vials of unused magic he could influence to create new and potent magics. Through this he made the vials that have been mentioned in the story!
(Dust preservation had 38 vials made and ‘nuke’ had 17 vials made. Referee was taught how to harvest his own magic directly for health reasons, then learnt how to influence it afterwards through trial and error.)
anyway I just really love Keepsake! I hope the picture helps you get a understanding of what he looks like compared to other Papri!
