So, I originally wasn’t going to post this, but I just think it’s silly.

I’d like to introduce my AU: “JUST JOSHIN’”

It’s a playful little Undertale AU where, as you’ll see, Sans is a streamer!

And he calls himself Funnybones! (Username on most of his platforms is funny_bones lol)

Of course, he holds the personality of some current-day streamers/YouTubers, and mainly goofs off for good content!

I forgot to write it down, but he can occasionally have the passive skill of bringing positivity to his viewers (imagine the Star Sanses but like… less serious)

And of course, he had the stereotypical drink (Mountain Dew) that he drinks out of a G-Fuel cup cause… why not.

Mmm… Doritos

Here’s a few more of the characters I’ve designed!!

And here’s just a little something extra :)

And I guess this counts as a couple of my AU designs LMAO

(Horror belongs to: sourapplestudios

Dust belongs to: Evan Streblow (I think)

Killer belongs to: Rahafwabas

Nightmare belongs to: jukoblog)

Oh, and feel free to ask questions if you’re interested! ^^

Okay, did some more character reference sheets!!

Here’s Gaster’s!

Pronouns: He/Him

Gaster, in the Just Joshin’ AU is Royal Scientist, and very close friend to Queen Toriel, who treats him like a son.

He expresses personality traits of both his sons (Bravery and Integrity), but his sons developed their own personalities as they grew.

He maintains the core, and develops weaponry- including improving the Gaster Blasters, as well as adapting new methods of using said blasters (arm-cannons, mainly).

His relationship with Alphys is very sweet, they’re close friends, and Alphys often acts almost like an aunt towards his children. They are a tight-knit work pair, and often rant to one another about work, or anything outside of it (including anime Alphys enjoys or Gaster talking about his boys).

I mentioned in one of the drawings above that Gaster can get melt-y with strong emotion (positive or negative), but it usually only occurs in his face (which is regularly unguarded when he is around the core).

And he often ends up looking like this.

Achievements:

• Creation of the core. From a young age, Gaster showed brilliance in science, especially after the last bits of skeleton-kind slowly started to fade from existence under the harshness that followed the Human and Monster War. He was the third generation that was brought into the world beneath the surface. Up to that point, monsters of all shapes and sizes had struggled to survive, populations dwindling. His parents succumbed to the harsh environment, resulting in him turning to science. He had blueprints of the core decided by the time he was 16. Thermo-energy conversion through an elaborate, state-of-the-art machine that could convert it into magic-energy and provide the underground with everything it needed.

• Dividing a soul. While the process of the core was continuous even by the point he was 20, he had gone off and started experimenting on the side. He was lonely, his species dwindling to nothing but himself. And one, after all, if the loneliest number. In this loneliness, he impulsively decided to try a form of DNA cloning. He took a fragment of his soul, and a section from his hand, and combined them. Splicing the two elements together in a magic fluid (I don’t have a name for it yet, I’m not a science nerd, just sleep deprived), he was able to replicate conception, and thus Sans was created. But, of course, the first try doesn’t always go so smoothly. His perfect bundle of joy had flaws, including a cracked soul, and low HP.

• Creation of the Gaster Blaster. A weapon bearing his namesake. As more magic started getting produced by the core, Gaster was free to indulge in more straining projects, which lead to developments in weapons… strictly for his use. Of course, when they were first created, summoning them with magic was hard, and often resulted in exhaustion- or they wouldn’t come out correctly. So, he found methods to make them easier to summon, including size adjustments that fit the monster who used them.

• More efficient soul-splitting. Around 8 years after his first attempt, the more clever Gaster tried a second time at replicating his soul-splitting technique. Carefully taking a fragment of his soul- and a piece of his hand, he replicated what he had done with Sans, but this time, he placed forth more measurements, precisely determined how much of his soul would be needed in order for a new life to generate without flaws. And Papyrus was created!

- Of course, Papyrus is still shorter than Gaster by a significant amount (~8 inches when Gaster isn’t in heels), and that’s due to the fact that the splitting method constricts some development, no matter how perfectly executed. While there was no noticeable flaws with Papyrus like there was Sans when he was growing up, the lack of height indicated that there was no way to perfect such an extreme science without using half a soul with each child (which Gaster couldn’t do alone for obvious reasons. Single dad life).*

• DT Extractor. A project credited to both Gaster and Alphys, they had created the Extractor in order to extract determination from human souls. Prolonged exposure to the Extractor often had side effects. For him, it’s occasionally melting. For Alphys? You’ll find that out when I post her character sheet hehe.

And of course, the Great Papyrus!!

Pronouns: He/She

In the Just Joshin’ AU, Papyrus is just as sweet and energetic as classic, but he is a bit nervous, and very shy! But, he’s smarter than a lot of monsters give him credit for.

He is very talented in puzzle-making, and had shown great interest in it since he was a child, some of his earliest memories being making puzzles and macaroni art.

His interest in the guard came from his teen years, when his first exposure to it had clued him in on what it was about. Trainees were moving through Snowdin during a training protocol, lead by Undyne, marching them through, explaining Sentry duties, and what it meant to be a guard (and he was enthralled), because not only was the Captain of the Royal Guard there, she had been the one who hired Sans in the sentry station of Hotlands.

The crack in his skull that he inherited from Gaster is far less obvious than Sans’, and that is mainly due to the fact that he had… been created more correctly than his older brother.

Achievements:

• Being the monster in the underground who’s best at making spaghetti (and like Classic, he never eats it).

• Having the most elaborate puzzle systems outside of the ruins.

• Somehow being the most unknown of the skeletons in the underground despite being the loudest.

General Information about the skeleton species:

* I added this symbol when talking about Gaster because I wanted to explain more about my idea of the skeleton species and what happened.

Skeletons had always been a strong staple of monster culture, their beings were naturally pure magic, and most were born and taught to speak Wing-Ding. Of course, others would learn sign language to communicate with other monsters, some was multi-lingual, learning to communicate with other monsters.

Gaster learned Wing-Ding and Sign.

Sans and Papyrus know all three.

Anyway, skeletons were on the brink of extinction by the time the third generation (around 200 years since the war) was born in the underground, population having steadily and harshly plummeted.

There was a lack of food, which steadily started making it hard to live- even with magic and partial immortality. Other conditions, much like fighting between monsters, rebellions, and uprisings often resulted in skeletons- who were easily close to nobles- being killed.

Most skeletons, over such conditions, were hesitant to have children, which resulted in fewer being created, especially where most waited until they were 50-100 years old before even considering having a child. If any other skeletons had been alive when Gaster split his soul the first time at 20, they would think he was mad.

Skeletons were a noble species, as I mentioned. They were fancy and lived large, until restrictions were placed on the underground, and gold was starting to get harder to come upon. That hadn’t stopped them from being close to one another, many of the elders (who at the time of the birth of the third generation were easily 100s of years old themselves), shared stories of the war, and how they had to fight along the frontlines in order to repel humans enough for monsters to retreat safely.

No humans life had been taken in the battle, at least none any monster could recall. They were always playing defense while humans were the offensive.

Then it came to the last few skeletons. Things had gotten worse in the span of the third generation. Skeletons were now considered prime targets to hunt, their dust worth its weight in gold.

Gaster’s parents suffered the fate, and Gaster had ran blindly into wherever he could to hide. In his panic, he tried to alter his face with magic (which is why he doesn’t have a nasal opening), but the magic resulted in some harsh cracks along his skull- as he was too young to be using such strong magic (~13 years old).

And in his panic, he had blindly ran towards the palace, intending to hide away within the vast expanse- only to be caught by the guards and dragged to queen Toriel.

Skeletons involvement with Royalty:

Even before Gaster, skeletons had been close with those on the throne since the times before the war. Asgore and Queen Toriel had always held a kindness towards them, the skeletons being one of the most intelligent species of monster to ever touch the Earth.

They worked peacefully amongst each other, skeletons always advancing their sciences as far as they could go because they had no other limitations than being tired or hungry.

A skeleton has no brain, so where is its capacity to think? Its infinite.

Gaster, noticed to Toriel as the last skeleton, became very close to the queen, often clinging close to her, and always going over his ideas. She recognized his excellence, and how he excels in science and gave him an early apprenticeship in the field when he was 14.

Alright, I’m sure this post is long enough, lol, more character sheets coming soon!
