okay so i'm rarely in the undertale fandom anymore but i still love goth and palette so here's headcanons for em

-Goth only stopped *physically* aging when he was a preteen, so given that he's actually in his early 20s, he is, in fact, mentally 20+ -He *hates* not being taken seriously, but has long since given up on actually trying to make anyone take him seriously -Although his parents tried their best to raise him, given the fact that they were both either busy or just gone due to health reasons, Goth was often neglected, even if he was left in the care of his uncle Papyrus or Toriel. He just wishes his parents were around more -Because of Geno and Reaper not being around too often, Goth is hyper-independent, to the point that he refuses to ask for help and always wants to do everything himself (it's v unhealthy) -He's v tired and depressed bc of this, but doesn't open up about it -Never really had real friends until he met Palette, who has an abundance of his own issues -Palette was also neglected due to how busy his parents were, and also because of Ink's forgetfulness, so he's messed up from it -He has soul issues since Ink doesn't have one, and dream has an 'artificial' soul, so he struggles with empathy, social rules, basic compassion, etc. He definitely has autism, adhd, and some kind of cluster b personality disorder -Despite this tho, Palette definitely tries to be a good person, even if he slips up a lot. He's not a great friend, but he's trying to help Goth out cause he knows he's struggling -Palette inherited his want to help and optimism from Dream, and his chaotic tendencies and energy from Ink. Structure-wise, he appears more like Ink, but likes Dream's outfit a bit more -He tends to drag Goth into a lot of chaotic situations, mostly involving pranks and elaborately set-up traps, mostly in the Omega Timeline, which is where the Underverse Studios resides -Both Goth and Palette are extremely talented at fighting. Goth is because he's been training for most of his life, and taught what he knew to Palette, who has a natural talent for fighting -Goth's fighting style is similar to Ruby Rose's style from RWBY, given the fact that he wields a scythe like her -Goth actually looks up to the other sanses a lot, particularly Cross due to his outfit, but has conflicting feelings about him since Cross likes to terrorize him occasionally -Goth enjoys talking to Gaster variants (or at least the nice ones), cause most of them understand what it's like to be permanently stuck having an appearance you hate, so they usually take him seriously, or at least more seriously than others -Palette normally tries to defend Goth whenever he can, but isn't always around to help out, and lends a listening ear when Goth wants to vent to him -Appearance-wise, Goth appears more similarly to Geno, but also has a lot of features from Reaper. Personality-wise, he takes surprisingly a lot after Gaster, but inherited Geno's quietness and exhaustion and Reaper's sarcasm and jokes -He also inherited their tendency to joke to cope, so it's not uncommon for Goth to crack jokes when he's stressed or having a bad day. He generally uses humor as a defense mechanism -Palette has his own good days and bad days. Some days he'll struggle less with empathy, compassion, etc. On bad days, when he doesn't have a lot of energy, he's more outwardly uncaring, asshole-ish and insensitive. He always apologizes for it, but understands if someone won't accept it -Palette hates being compared to his parents, particularly Ink, cause he's afraid he'll turn out like Ink -Palette and Goth are practically glued to each others sides due to shared experiences -Palette uses he/they pronouns, and is aroace -Goth uses any pronouns with a preference for he/him, and is pansexual and aegosexual -They're both dumbasses, but Palette is far more obvious about it -They're also both little shits and won't hesitate to roast the fuck out of sanses like Nightmare, Killer, etc. No they don't have a sense of self-preservation -Palette will carry Goth on his back since Goth doesn't like rushing due to his chronic fatigue from his depression, and since Palette doesn't like slowing down, he'll

just. Carry Goth everywhere

Hey here’s another alt of the cast, because apparently I hate myself or something. (that’s a joke, mostly) Here are the ‘canon breakers’. Originally known as the ‘dark’ alts, I realized not all of them were that dark. But they are all based off breaking canon soul lore so. ‘Canon Breakers’ it is.

However I should warn, some of these versions are for the most part, built on much darker themes and touch on delicate subjects. These mini bios are short, but might still be bothersome to some. Please be careful.

Undertale Sans/Magister : Is highly manipulative. He seems passive, but is always pulling the strings. Even when it seems like someone was doing something he didn’t want, it’s inevitable that it will actually be working in his favor.

Undertale Papyrus/Hero : Delusional, with a hardcore savior complex. He will help everyone, whether they truly need it or not. He plows right over anyone else’s will to do what he believes to be “correct”.

Underfell Sans/Blossom : Skittish and fragile in many ways. He’s prone to outbursts of anger but quickly reverts to fawn out of trained fear. He’d do and has done everything for his brother, to his clear detriment.

Underfell Papyrus/Boss : Very much full of himself, but also able to back it up. He has a cruel streak, but doesn’t usually seek to harm people specifically. He does let his temper get the best of him at times, and expects everyone to bow to his whims.

Underswap Sans/Marauder : Leans into his “cute” image heavily, all the while playing everyone for the fools he thinks they are. He’s convinced even his brother he is this sweet innocent being in need of guarding, all the while indulging in untold levels of debauchery. He doesn’t care who gets hurt, as long as he gets his way.

Underswap Papyrus/Smoke : Wildly moody. At times he can seem a chill sort to vibe with and at other times he flips to a cruel and vindictive being. His words cut deep and he has driven people over the edge before. He is wildly possessive and unpredictable.

Swapfell(Red) Sans/Chain : Very much full of himself. A violent megalomaniac prone to incoherent tantrums. The problem is, that when his rage tapers off, the grudge still exists and his true cleverness can shine through.

Swapfell(Red) Papyrus/Jackal : Apathetic and cool. He does as he pleases. While he never goes out of his way to break laws or rules, he also doesn’t care if he does. He obeys his brother mostly to humor him, but also enjoys being an ass about it. Malicious compliance is one of his favorite things.

Horrortale Sans/Han : A ruthless, sadistic hunter. At times he can be good company. Good, albeit dark, humor, a relaxed confidence, he can be quite pleasant to be around. However, he is also willing and able to kill damn near anyone at the drop of a hat, and rather enjoys it.

Horrortale Papyrus/Lector : He doesn’t enjoy killing per se, but he has no issue with it either. He does enjoy rather dangerous and violent traps, and gets a thrill out of startling people. However, more than anything, he loves to consume. Food, media, anything.

Swapfell(Purple) Sans/Hyde : A very broken, shell of a skeleton. Not only pushed away, but violently abandoned by his brother, he seeks to regain Addict’s company at any cost. Unfortunately this desperation goes unanswered, and Hyde often finds himself chasing a hopeless dream.

Swapfell(Purple) Papyrus/Addict : Entirely self-driven. He has absolutely no care for the wants or needs of anyone else. He enjoys causing problems on a larger and more malicious scale than his original counterpart.  Cruel, selfish, and above all, greedy.

Fellswap Gold Sans/Vincere : A much more controlled megalomaniac. He has an extreme sense of self importance. His opinion is the correct one, and everyone should obey him at all times. His word is law, and he deserves to be revered.

Fellswap Gold Papyrus/Servire : There isn’t much of a person left in him. Quiet, stoic, the perfect soldier in that he follows commands to a T without question. He no longer bothers with his “silly childish hobbies” and rarely interacts with anyone.

Underlust Sans/Nox : Ever since the loss of his child, has been desperate for another. He doesn’t care about anyone else’s wants in the matter, only that he gets to have his kid. When not actively seeking that eventuality, he’s wild and over indulgent.

Underlust Papyrus/Lux : Leans just as far into his “otherness” while also using it to his direct benefit. Rather than the largely passive actions of his counterpart, he manipulates people and events to get his way. He’s garnered quite the following, and they all bow to his whims fervently and without question.

Dancetale Sans/Locke : He exists in a constant fog of sorrow, which he cannot source. This leaves his struggling to understand why he feels as he does, and leads to him withdrawing so as not to “drag others down with him”.

Dancetale Papyrus/Twist : Questions his own value desperately, and in turn seeks validation from any and all sources. It doesn’t matter how bad or toxic the situation or relationship. If he is being acknowledged he will cling. He can be prone to outbursts if he feels he’s “falling out of favor”.

Outertale Sans/Atlas : Is convinced he must ‘save’ this backwards time, and is very cross about it. His temper is short but burns dangerously cold.

Outertale Papyrus/Sisyphus : Is literally incapable of experiencing negative emotion, which makes for a very strange life experience. All of his “empathy” is built on book knowledge and watching people, as he truly has no practical point of reference.

Farmtale Sans/Dust : He ultimately won against Frisk, but at what cost? Driven to kill everyone before Frisk could, he came out victorious and left the barrier, but now he is alone, and haunted by his choices.  He tries to keep to himself, eke out a quiet, isolated living, but that isn’t always allowed.

Farmtale Papyrus/Rot : Full of anger, sorrow, bitterness and hate, he feels his death was meaningless and rages over having life stripped from him. He will influence or at times outright possess Dust, pushing him into killing sprees. At other times, regret sinks in, and he tries to comfort his beloved brother, only for the rage to seep back in and take over once more.

G!Sans/Beller : All of the impulse, none of the regard for the saftey of others. He does as he please with little consideration for anyone beyond his brother. He goes where he wants, takes what he wants, and lives like to the fullest, even if it means someone else suffers.

G!Papyrus/Ophon : All the science, none of the morals. He doesn’t go out of his way to hurt people, but won’t let it stop him from testing a theory either. He figures a few bad tests will likely make things better or easier for the survivors later, so oh well.

Bermudatale Sans/Shoal : Has absolutely no interest in leaving the island, and uses his role as Judge to ensure the barrier remains intact. Anyone who arrives on their shores and finds themselves comfortable settling in, is allowed to stay, but anyone with delusions of “saving the monsters” meets a swift end. This is the only circumstance that will push Shoal into action. He likes his peaceful, slow, life, and will allow no one to take it from him.

Bermudtale Papyrus/Reef : He is very similar to the classic form, but minus most of the self control, or understanding of other peoples limits. He pushes not only himself but everyone else to and past their limits, and fails to understand when people can’t keep up.

There we are, the spin offs of a spin off of a collection of spin offs. Lmfao. I’ll have the ladies done and posted at some point as well. c:
