#specific lore

Does it stay symptomless forever? Does it secretly change stuff?

it infects a character so it can further affect their universe!!!

it will cause places and items to lose their textures

And causes breaks in the world (any surface) where it exposes the code

it's parasitic in nature, so it feeds on an au until everything is texture less and the code is completely wiped

that takes a LONG time tho

if Cory isn't present in the au then it will take many years to fully decay the universe (3-7 months before things become noticeable) (53-81 years to decay)

a character takes 1-2 months to have noticeable effects and 2-3 years to decay into a lifeless model/sprit

BUT IT DOES GET BETTER!

the world, after decaying, has practically completely cleaned its code of the virus, so it's able to reset (takes a while to reset [5 weeks]) and it's basically a true reset

completely from the beginning

all the symptoms comes from code trying to cleanse the virus and get rid of it

but if code is already broken, the virus won't be noticeable (you'd be a symptomless carrier)

only Cory can infect characters outside of aus

the virus doesn't spread when not in a universe unless it's directly from the source

Cory->SaveFile

SaveFile cannot pass it to anyone else unless he enters a universe (such as Fragmentedtale)

Cory->Horror

Horror (when still inside his universe) will quickly infect the universe in its entirety, as the code is susceptible from the inside

I want to get to know your Sans AU better!

I'll explain it better here

the other times I've explained it have been kind of confusing

Martyr is the son of WD Gaster, but his soul was infused with Patience and Bravery before he was fully formed

with the power of human souls, martyr was used from a young age to help with Determination experiments, since his partial human soul allowed for determination without his body dusting or melting

when he was 10, Papyrus was born

the experiments were never horrible, and his body could always take it

But when martyr was 14 he got in a big argument with his dad, ending in martyr running off into the woods at the beginning of snowdin, hiding near the ruins door

instead of a friendly voice behind the door, he saw a mysterious skeleton that didn't belong.

this skeleton, Void (belonging to @trickykitsuneblizzard), killed the child and infused his magic/soul into a crystal

martyr's magic, just like the rest of the souls that were stolen by the skeleton in the multiverse, was used as weapons, Martyr's magic being summoned as a Gaster blaster

martyr was conscious for all of this.

eventually Void gifted the crystal to his son, basically gifting him a free guard dog

martyr was trapped in this crystal for 19 years

when the child was 17, he noticed the crystal matched with a socket below the eye of the Gaster blaster

when putting the crystal in the indentation, it reunited magic and soul again, allowing for martyr to reform back into a skeleton

he used his new autonomy to hunt down Void and absolutely pummel him (seeing as Martyr was now an adult. A grown man ready to fight hand to hand)

martyr was pulled off by ink, which was the only reason he didn't kill Void right then, but he used his magic to scatter Void's crystals across the multiverse, leaving him practically powerless.

martyr is allowed to kill Void, but he does everything in his power to keep him from hurting anyone else

now the two are in a constant race around multiverses to find the crystals before the other finds them first

martyr takes the crystals and gives them to Doctor Gaster II (my sans from Stay Determined), who runs experiments to try and reform the monsters inside them

WHAT DOES THE VIRUS MEAN??? WHAT DOES IT MEAN???

Cory is a virus :)

He infects any universe he enters

What's the lore with CORY'S AU?

I fr want the juicy loreeee!

Where Cory is from isn't just a different au, it's a different multiverse than the ones he currently resides in

The multiverse he originates from is considered the Camera Timeline™

get it? Camera timeline? Camera face? Heheheh

jokes aside, Cory is from the 'og' universe in his multiverse. There are other au Corys back in his home multiverse, but a lot of them are either dead or genocidal

Cory's role in his story is that he is the duality of man

if he kills every monster, he is freed and able to live: but if he's a pacifist, he dies.

every time.

if he spares even a single monster, he will die

in some timelines: he is a soul used to break the barrier, in others: he is used for his soul characteristics

in some, he sacrifices himself to save monsters

but Cory, the one I use as a sona, made a different choice. He was sick of dying repeatedly, so he tried to do what he'd never done before: Genocide.

Every time he got out, he was put right back in the beginning, as he gets automatically reset when he reaches the end due to a glitch in his multiverse's code. He was desperate for the fleeting feeling of freedom he got when he finally saw the sun again, but with every genocide, his relationships broke. Those who remembered grew distant, but only one broke through to him:

Sans.

sans had only ever been able to do defensive magic but he became aggressive at Cory's continued insanity. He killed him once, sending him right back to the beginning. He stopped 14 genocides in a row before Cory and him broke out into a screaming argument the second he entered snowdin. Their argument got bad enough to where Cory's vision began to glitch, and suddenly he could see flashing save stars and buttons

(Cory cannot naturally see the things that the player sees, despite being the player.)

When him and Sans's argument turned physical, he took a bone to the gut before he ended up tackling sans into one of the save stars, glitches filling his vision as they were both brought to the menu, where they continued to battle as Sans screamed at him that they needed to get back to the game

Cory was distraught that Sans had known and never told him, so they continued to brawl, Cory eventually being thrown back against one of the black walls covered in code, causing it to crack and drag cory out into the camera timeline version of the doodlesphere

(instead of being full of paper and stuff, it's an endless abyss of code and commands that lead to different universes)

the code, being alerted to an unauthorized presence, tried to delete it. But, seeing as it was something from the source universe, it caused a massive error, sending the code scattered across the multiverse, the character model being locked out and sent to another universe while the soul stayed fractured across the camera timeline

now, Cory roams universes, able to see code now that his body is glitched. He'd turned into an anomaly but he's still himself

but now he's missing his soul

the soul of kindness

he lost his inherent empathy when he lost his soul, so it's much harder for him to care about monster lives, sending him to dust 8 multiverses in search for any way to complete himself again

but uh. Yeah. His sans found him at one point

he was once a normal sans!!! Well. Kind of. he had a double soul, as Gaster had used him for determination experiments

he was a surprisingly normal kid, but everything went wrong when he was 14.

then.

But now he's okay. :)

He's a protector of the multiverse, just not against the bad sanses or the stars.

he's vaguely affiliated with ink and error as he lives with error in the antivoid

I using names and characterization to hint at my character's lores

and I LOVE mythology!

UnderDawn brothers are named after Greek mythology

and UnderDusk bros are named after Egyptian mythology!!!

it might be helpful to look up their names within mythology to learn about them

while martyr was 'dead', his soul was separated from his body and put into a crystal by another skeleton

that monster was using his magic as his own, martyr completely conscious but unable to do anything as a Gaster blaster

the red mark under his eye was a notch, an indent

and one day, the monster's son, after being gifted the crystal for protection, placed the crystal into the notch, returning martyr's magic to him, letting him reform

hope that explains it

IS THE VIRUS GUNNA HURT MY BABY NIGHTMARE?

-🐉

the virus doesn't do much harm.

it would take specific conditions to do much

it's a symptomless virus

only those who can see code can see it

it's a virus that infects universe by universe
