Ink! Sans
Ink! Sans (often simply Ink) is the guardian of the multiverse, the custodian of alternate universes, and the protector of creativity in all its forms. He was created by artist Comyet (also known as Mye Bi) on January 17, 2016. He lives in the Doodlesphere, a space made up of floating islands, each containing portals to other universes. Appearance
Ink is a short, skeletal figure (he's about 92% of Sans's height, at about 112 cm). His eyes are never the same: their shape, color, and size change depending on his emotions or the dye he's consumed. Most often, his right eye is a blue circle, and his left is a yellow star. He has an ink stain on his right cheek. He wears a huge brown scarf, almost larger than himself, on which he writes notes to remind himself. Rainbow-colored paint bottles with heart-shaped caps hang from his belt across his chest. The bottles contain paint in different colors, and each color evokes a specific emotion in him. He carries his brush, an enormous one as big as himself, on his back, which he affectionately calls Broomy and considers a living thing. In the updated design, he wears a small brown vest over a white long-sleeved shirt, and the pants have become overalls. Under his clothes, he has swirl-shaped tattoos all over his body, running from his neck down his spine and ribs. When the colors fade and he loses his emotions, his body begins to look as if it were made of dust. Origin
Ink hails from a universe that didn't even have a name—sometimes called ____Tale. It was the very first alternate universe, but it was never completed: its creator abandoned the project halfway through. The world remained an empty sketch—without a landscape, without logic, without development. The inhabitants of this universe were merely emotionless sketches, devoid of will and consciousness.

Capabilities
Ink Manipulation - creates bones, barriers, projectiles, and gaster blasters that fire ink that hardens on contact. Creation - using Broomy, he can draw anything and make it come to life. The only limitation: he cannot revive the dead. Portals - travels between universes through any liquid, using it as an ink portal. Script Reading - can read the "scripts" of all universes, allowing him to know the fates of their inhabitants, their actions, and behavior patterns. Immortality - exists outside of universes and their timelines, therefore does not age and cannot die naturally. Pain Resistance - due to the absence of a soul, he does not feel physical pain. Creator Connection - can hear and communicate with the creators of the multiverse, a privilege available to few. Emotion Vials - each color confers a specific feeling: determination, courage, kindness, justice, patience, integrity, etc. Without them, he reverts to an empty, emotionless state. Weaknesses: complete dependence on bottles. Without paint, he has no emotions, no will, no movement. Broomie is his main tool; without a brush, he is practically useless. Doodle Sphere
Ink's home, the Doodle Sphere, is a space woven from paint, where floating islands are connected by portals leading to different universes. Here, Ink stores his vials, draws, watches over the portals, and ensures that the universes evolve and don't disappear. When the portals begin to collapse, it means the universe is in danger.

Matching colors and emotions
Color Emotion
Red - Rage, anger.
Orange - Surprise/Cunning.
Yellow - Joy.
Green - Disgust.
Blue - Sadness, sorrow.
Blue - Fear.
Purple - Shame.
Pink - Love, lust, passion (vulgarity).
White - Emotionless (a state when Ink doesn't "drink" paint for a long time)
Black - Hatred.

The "white paint" state signifies a complete lack of emotion. In this state, Ink can both fight and communicate, but he can only be brought out of it by "giving" him other colors.

When emotions mix, the shape and color of the pupils can combine. For example, when jealous, one eye may be pink and the other red, while one pupil may be heart-shaped and the other crosshair-shaped.

Pandori (Pandori), aka Ann
Pandori ( more commonly known as Ann ) is an inhabitant of the Doodlesphere, the companion and "little sister" of Ink! Sans. She was created by Mye Bi (Comyet), the same creator who created Ink, as her last creation before her death. Upon learning of her impending death, the creator decided to leave Ink a companion: a being with a self-evolving soul, capable of growing and learning like a child exploring the world. She appears to be a 13-year-old girl, with thick, long hair in a high ponytail. Her pupils are white by default, but change color depending on her emotions. Around her neck is a white heart-shaped pendant: a symbol of her soul and emotions, analogous to Ink's pupils. Her clothing mirrors Ink's style: a brown cropped top, coffee-colored loose pants, and gloves. Behind her is a synthesizer with multicolored keys for creating objects through music.
Pandori has a soul , but without the paint from the vials, it "sleeps": her pupils are white, her body is motionless. Her soul is self-developing, but very fragile—it cracks from mental and emotional trauma. Near Ink, she is able to feel without the paint —the attachment is so strong that it bypasses dependence on the vials.
Needs food and sleep, and feels extreme physical pain. Favorite drink: iced tea; rarely drinks blueberry energy drink "Jaguar," but breaks down when in a bad mood. Favorite colors: purple and yellow.
Forgetful, like Ink. Instead of a scarf, she carries a tattered sketchbook for notes and song lyrics. She draws well and sees her work through to completion. With paint, she's energetic, talkative, and sincere; without paint, she's silent and indifferent. She's a pacifist, but in the event of genocide, she might massacre the perpetrator.
The instrument embodies the Undertale soundtrack and allows the creation of small objects. It can theoretically create universes, but fears the responsibility. It has the ability to "resurrect," but it drains it. It doesn't know this.
She adores the Star Sanses team. She truly loves Ink, Dream, and Classic. She also likes Chara, Horror, Dust, Cross, and Last. She doesn't consider universes anomalies—for her, every AU is a manifestation of her love for the original.

Relationship
Error! Sans is his main enemy and opposite. Error considers the multiverse an abomination and wants to destroy it; Ink sees it as a perfect creation. Their conflict is endless, though they once called a truce.

Dream! Sans is a close friend. They share a common desire to protect, but their approaches differ: Ink protects universes, Dream protects the emotions of those living within them.

Swap! Sans is a friend; Ink appeared from the spilled paint right in front of him.

X! Gaster is Ink's partner and a complex figure in his life. Ink discovered the dying X-Tale universe and inspired X! Gaster to create, later taking half of his soul for safekeeping. This led to far-reaching and dark consequences.

Cross! Sans is a former friend (thought of as a brother) whose relationship with Ink deteriorated when Cross realized Ink couldn't bring him back to his lost world.

Alpha! Sans is a mentor and father figure who helped Ink cope with panic and loneliness.

Fresh! Sans is a friend; under certain circumstances, he can fuse with Ink to form Fresh! Ink.

Interesting facts
Ink has no soul—he tore it apart to escape the dead world. He is asexual and aromantic—he has no interest in romantic relationships. His eyes are never the same—the color and shape depend on emotion and "color."
Broomy is a brush that he considers alive and protects as a creature.
Knows about the existence of the creators of the multiverse and helps them in creating new universes.
Sometimes he breaks the fourth wall by addressing the author directly. His birthday is April 15th, although the year is unknown.
In the events of Underverse, under the influence of X!'s soul, Gaster became angrier and more serious, leading to betrayal and dire consequences. Ink is a paradox: a soulless being who protects the souls of others. A creator who cannot create himself. A guardian who fears being forgotten more than dying. His entire life is paint on a blank canvas, and in his world, the canvas is the multiverse itself.

Inc supports all forms of art such as painting, literature, dance, music and so on[14].
He is afraid of whiteness, the absence of any forms around him, loneliness, huge empty spaces[14].
Ink doesn't seem like a character with perfect behavior. He can sometimes be inconsiderate in his mockery and cruel in his opinions. He doesn't put others on the same level as himself. He has a very peculiar morality, which sometimes seems truly disconnected from his emotions.[14]

Ink was the only one with a real soul—the only one who could feel anything. But no matter how hard he tried to breathe life into his world, none of its inhabitants responded. Loneliness gradually grew into despair, then madness and hatred for the other painted creatures. In a fit of despair, he tore apart his own soul—and thus broke free from this dead world. Awakening in the Void
He awoke in a completely new place—as empty as his universe. This space became known as the Doodlesphere. But he gained no freedom: he had no memories of the past, no feelings, no purpose, no soul. He simply sat and waited, indifferent and motionless—like a broken machine. Time passed—or didn't pass, it was indeterminate here. And then something changed: he was drenched in paint. Paint from an unknown creator fell into the void, and each color brought with it an emotion. For the first time since awakening, he could feel—disgust, sadness, rage, laziness, peace, and joy, all at once, a rainbow. He finally felt alive. The Birth of Ink
Having mastered paint, he discovered he could manipulate ink, create objects, and even bring them to life. However, he soon discovered that without paint, he once again became an emotionless void—his emotions vanished, his personality erased. To solve this problem, he began collecting paint in vials that he carried on his belt. Each vial represented a specific color, each paint an artificial emotion, replacing the missing soul. Gradually, using the paints he received from the creators, he created the Doodlesphere—a crossroads of space, where gateways on floating islands led to all existing universes. One day, he discovered he could travel between universes through any liquid, using them as ink portals.

And then he realized: the emotions that colors give him are connected to the universes themselves—they come from creators who infuse feelings into their creations. For the colors not to run out, the universes must continue to exist and evolve. Thus, Ink became their guardian and preserver.
As long as his colors are balanced, Ink is cheerful, active, and enthusiastic. He adores anything creative: painting, literature, dance, music. He spends most of his time drawing and coming up with new ideas—the Doodlesphere is littered with countless sketches and scribbles. One of his favorite pastimes is dressing others simply by brushing paint on them, creating clothes they like. Despite his artist status, no one has ever seen his finished paintings. He's a mischievous prankster—pranks are like forbidden fruit to him. In battle, he prefers not to attack first: he tries to understand his opponent's motives, talk to them, and steer them down the right path. He rarely takes anything seriously—even when fighting dangerous opponents, he enjoys goading and fooling around. He has a very short memory—sometimes he stops mid-sentence, trying to remember what he said a second ago. That's why he writes on his scarf. Ink isn't perfect. He can be inconsiderate in his teasing and harsh in his judgments. He has a peculiar morality, sometimes divorced from emotion: his primary concern is the protection of universes as such, not their inhabitants, which often leads to disagreements with those who think differently. His fears include whiteness, the absence of form around him, vast empty spaces, loneliness, and—most of all—being forgotten and returning to an emotionless state. When Ink experiences too much emotion—be it ecstasy or shock—he vomits ink, sometimes all colors at once, like a rainbow (though a rainbow is extremely rare).

Pacifist AUs (Classic, Dream, Last, Fell, etc.)
The goal of a fight isn't to kill, but to hold the line and give someone a chance to stop. Victory is when you don't cross the line (that's why mercy is valued here).
Language instead of words. Through attacks and dodges, they show: “I’m here. I’m holding the line. Can you see me?”
Training. They prepare for a real threat (like Nightmare), so that if trouble comes, they won't have to learn in combat.

Genocidal AUs (Nightmare, Cross, Geno, Horror, Dust, Killer, etc.)
The goal of combat is to eliminate the threat before they strike you. They don't wait for the enemy to stop on their own.
Power = status. Fights decide who is in charge and who holds territory.
The boundaries are strict. A fight is needed to show: "You can't go here."

Important note about all AUs
Fighting is normal here, not "horrible." It's a part of life.

A way to make friends and get to know each other. Especially among monsters: through an exchange of blows, one quickly sees what kind of person you are—how sharp, how calm, how well-mannered you are. Hence Ink's saying: "Sometimes a fight is a way to say: I see you."
It's the usual routine. In the original, almost every monster you encounter (Froggits and the like) jumps into battle—it's normal for them, that's how they interact.

Turn-based combat system rules (updated)

Participant Card (Monster or Human)

Each participant is described according to the template:

Name *:
HP - [number],
Magic - [number],
Stamina - [number].
Basic magic attacks: [Attack 1], [Attack 2], [Attack 3].
Super attack: [Name] (damage - [number] HP).

Game progress

The game is played in turns: one player takes a turn, then the other.

• On the opponent's turn: *

• You must dodge their attack.
  *To dodge, you need to predict which of the three main attacks he will use.

• If you guess correctly, you dodge: you don't lose HP and restore some stamina.
  *If you guess wrong, you take damage and your stamina is not restored.

• On your turn: *

• Choose one of your attacks.
  *Choosing an attack costs stamina.

• You can strengthen your attack with magic, using the triangle system.
  *You can skip a turn—this is useful if your stamina is low.

Stamina and Magic Mechanics

• Stamina *is needed for attacks. If your stamina is low, you can't attack.
• Stamina is partially restored when you successfully dodge an enemy attack.
  **Magic *increases your attack's power. The stronger the boost, the greater the chance of inflicting serious damage.
• Magic is restored when your attack hits an enemy.

Attack Power Indicator and Damage Bonus Calculation

The power of the boost is displayed like this:

< ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ >

The number of triangles indicates how much the attack is enhanced by magic. Maximum ∆: 5.

Damage bonus from the enhancement: *

• 1 ∆ - +9 to damage;
  *2 ∆ — +18 damage;
• 3 ∆ — +27 damage;
  *4 ∆ - +36 damage;
• 5 ∆ - +45 damage.

Calculation example: *
A basic attack deals 6 HP damage.
If you increase it by 3 ∆, the total damage is: $6 + 27 =$33 HP.

Time limit

You have* 10 seconds to choose an action *.

• If you manage to choose an attack, the move is made.
  If time is up and no choice is made, you automatically skip your turn.

Eye color
Most often yellow and blue, Ink!Sans (formerly Artist!Sans) is an extra-terrestrial character who doesn't belong to any AU. He exists outside of any universe, but can interact with them. Ink encourages artists to continue contributing to the fandom and generally embodies an artistic aesthetic that follows him in his combat abilities. Character
Ink tends to get overly involved in things. He also has a very short memory and forgets things—sometimes stopping mid-sentence to try to remember what he just said a few seconds earlier.[14]
He's very passionate about art and loves to motivate both characters and creators. He can change people's clothes simply by painting them with a brush, and he enjoys creating clothes they like. Despite being an artist, no one has ever seen his paintings.[14] He's a mischievous person. Pranks are his forbidden fruit.[14]
Ink generally acts witty and playful.[14]
Because he has little interaction with others, he is harsh in his teasing and ridicule, as well as in his ability to be supportive and kind.[14]
He is extremely forgetful, so he makes notes on his scarf.[14]
Ink approaches enemies cautiously. He never tries to attack them first, but rather tries to figure out their motives and reason with them. He knows how to analyze things to guide people on the right path.[14] He occasionally vomits/vomits ink randomly, mostly when he's overly emotionally overwhelmed, whether by passion, joy, or shock.[14]
