ACTUALLY ykw for the time being I'll publish a draft up I did of his character, appearance, etc, some details to give some insight as to his character and what he's all about. Melly is gonna give me a lore drop later today so I actually know wtf I'm gonna be writing about

Swanky Sans

Appearance: Well dressed, presentable, always wearing his best clothing. Red or black bow tie, black top hat with gold ribbon, black blazer over white buttoned shirt, smart black trousers, black smart shoes, cufflinks with a small silver pin in the shape of a book as his good luck charm, silver expensive watch on his left hand, hazel eye lights, lazy left eye, sly grin, confident facial expression, straight line teeth, same height as sans canonically is

Personality: Bookworm, history buff, very isolationist and terrible social skills, relies on his well dressed looks to portray his confidence and high social status, when in reality he’s very self conscious, always attempts to appear occupied, usually by pretending to read an Agatha Christie book that he carries around with him. His ‘nerdiness’ stems from being home-schooled yet receiving a very poor education and being neglected by his carers, which also lead to his terrible social skills and inability to notice social cues, sarcasm or make good jokes. He frequents his time in the library, and always dresses up in his same outfit, as he has multiple of the same clothes. If he’s ever caught outside of his comfort bubble, e.g without his best outfit on, if he’s outsmarted, put in a precarious social position or on the spot, his façade will drop very quickly from a confident, well presented, stable looking guy to an incredibly awkward, anxious, unaware individual with absolutely no clue how to get back to his usual snazzy self, and will almost always run off to his wardrobe, the library or his study room, where he’ll either practice music or bury himself in a hyper fixation of either a book, a specific song, musical artist, or historical event, which he also just naturally does every few weeks. He’s a singer, but only when he’s alone, and if ever caught singing, will likely just freeze from embarrassment on the spot and just stop completely, despite being a very capable singer and pianist. He struggles with making friends and has very few connections, even if people try very hard to befriend him, he has no clue how to reciprocate it and will often appear emotionless in his response to peoples kindness. However, if you do manage to get him on your good side, the majority of topics in his conversations are passionate rants about his hobbies and interests, in which he’ll suddenly cut himself off and get rather embarrassed, before usually running off to bury himself in a book again. Romantically, he’s a very passionate person, with a lot of flowing literary creativity, and often writes about romantic experiences between 2 individuals, no one in particular, often inventing characters to imagine in his fictional romantic short stories and poems, and may sometimes write a song to accompany this literary work, which he’ll practice for hours before recording it and saving it to his laptop, which he keeps extremely hidden as it’s where he documents his feelings and activities. The way he talks is seemingly intellectual sentences, interrupted with short pauses, and a not very intellectual word. For example, “Ah yes, I was examining the..thingies and I noticed the precise structure of this literary work is articulated beautifully.” or, “This song is perfectly hand crafted, the rhythms compliment the melodies extraordinarily, I love how the lyrics are so.. Flumbily jumbily.. Ignore that I said that.” He also has very little physical expression or emphasis on his words, even what he’s passionate about, and will often sit very still no matter how excited his voice gets. Overall he's a smug and confident guy on the outside, awkward antisocial little bookworm on the inside, but that doesn't mean you should underestimate him, you never know what sneaky schemes and tricks he's got up his sleeve.. or in his thousands of books
