*Science!Sans (Science Sans)* —

Relationships with adults and small children

**He treats adults *very, very badly if he's immediately nasty, or simply tries to talk normally and hesitantly. If they attack, he either kills or catches them.

• With small children , he's patient and gentle. He likes to explain science in simple terms, demonstrate safe experiments, and answer "why" questions. He tries not to scare them, but also not to oversimplify: if a child asks a complex question, Science!Sans will try to explain it with a clear example. But he treats many children poorly because they're Genocide-Minders or otherwise harmful.

The soul *is white; in AUs, it is often interpreted as the "soul of Determination," but with an emphasis on a scientific approach: his determination is aimed at finding truth and protecting knowledge.

• The color scheme of the image is white (robe, the color of the soul), black (pants, contours), gray/neutral (T-shirt), with accents in the form of glasses lenses (transparent or slightly tinted).

Cloth

The set emphasizes the role of the scientist:
*a white lab coat (sometimes with reagent stains—a common detail in fan art);

• a neutral-colored T-shirt (usually white or gray);
  *black trousers, neat shoes;
• protective glasses are an almost obligatory accessory;
  *a name or position badge;
• sometimes gloves or a notepad are added.

Character

Science!Sans is an inquisitive and science-obsessed character:
*calm, reasonable, not prone to unnecessary panic;

• likes to explain everything “using formulas” and logic;
  *retains Sans's signature sense of humor, but jokes more about scientific topics;
• is responsible at work, tries not to let down colleagues and students;
  patient, but does not like it when experiments are interfered with or facts are ignored.

Appearance

This is a skeleton monster, generally similar to the classic Sans, but with a "scientific" look:
*wears a white lab coat over a simple T-shirt;

• a badge on his chest, a pen in his pocket;
  *black trousers and dark shoes;
• often wearing protective glasses;
  *slightly taller than Alphys;
• Sans's usual wide smile and glowing white pupils.
