"We're gonna have a MAD time!"
– Murder!Sans when challenging the human


Murder!Sans (also known as Dust!Sans) is a Sans OC from the AU Dusttale. This character debuted in an ask blog created by a user named Ask-Dusttale on February 10th, 2016. He was a regular Sans who, upon learning of what the human has done, aims to stop their genocidal actions by slaughtering all of the Underground to acquire enough LV to defeat the human.

Since his original debut, the character has gained high amounts of popularity, earning it thousands of pieces of fanart, comics, animations and even a full-fledged fangame.

Profile

Backstory

In the original progression of Undertale, the player's interactions with the underground dictates how Sans behaves. This means that he changes depending on the "route" that a player runs: Neutral, True Pacifist or Genocide.

This story line follows the possibility of the player abusing their ability to reset the timeline to repeat the Genocide Route as many times as they want.

Sans the only character that shows awareness of the player's ability to reset time and revive themselves after death. In this take, it is that same acute sensibility that causes Sans to realize the underground has been reset and slaughtered repeatedly.

His response to this realization is to beat the player to the punch; he slaughters the entire underground himself, including his brother Papyrus, with the intent to gain enough power to stop the player from completing another Genocide Route.

This series of actions drives Sans to madness, causing him to hallucinate the specter of his deceased brother.

Appearance

Murder!Sans's appearance slightly deviates from the original design. He wears a blue hoodie with a grey hood, of which he keeps up, black shorts with white lining and a pair of gray slippers. His bad time eye is the only thing that truly differs, having changed color from a blue and yellow to a blue surrounded by red and even having a second red magic eye. He is usually depicted as having grey dust coating his clothing.

Personality

Before the human arrived in the Underground, Sans was more of a lazy and friendly skeleton who would often make jokes. He would go to Grillby's for a good amount of time; he was very caring about his brother, Papyrus. However, after the human reset and did numerous Genocide Routes, one day due to unknown circumstances Sans suddenly remembered all the Genocide Routes. This changed Sans, and made him kill other monsters for LV; even going as far as killing his own brother. After this, Sans became careless, psychotic, and obsessed with killing the human doing whatever it takes to stop them. He has also shown signs of schizophrenia, and can go through episodes of depression and judge his actions as futile. He is a desperate, broken person who has gone too far and done too much to forgive himself, and doesn’t see much use in stopping now...
