Papyrus' Theme

Background

Papyrus is the brother of Sans and a major character in Undertale. His main motive is to capture a human so he can become a member of the Royal Guard, and finally have friends and popularity.

Papyrus is a flamboyant skeleton who presents a confident, charismatic image of himself. He works hard and, despite his brash personality, is kind at heart. He is optimistic and innocent even when the protagonist beheads him in a Genocide Route. He is also occasionally oblivious and nonobservant, but can be cunning at times, as seen when he uses reverse psychology to trick Undyne into befriending the protagonist.

Papyrus believes in others just as much as he believes in himself. He has so much faith in his abilities that he waited outside of Undyne's house all night and begged her to accept him into the Royal Guard. Seeing his persistence, Undyne offered to train him but instead gave him cooking lessons.

He cooks spaghetti in his spare time, though many characters seem to think that he is not very good at it. One of the reasons for this is because Papyrus never ate spaghetti himself to complete the chef's guidebook to cooking by tasting their creation before serving. He, therefore, cooks spaghetti only because everyone else loves to eat it, indicating he does not play favorites. He loves puzzles and japes, as shown in the numerous puzzles he prepares for the protagonist as well as his collection of "complex tomes about puzzle creation." Though advanced puzzles may seem cerebral, Papyrus also enjoys children's books and is somewhat childish with the decoration of his room. He also collects action figures.

Papyrus also watches Mettaton's TV shows, and admires Mettaton so much that he would move to Hotland, a region that he hates.

Powers and Techniques

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Incoporeal Aspects (Monsters physiologies show they are mostly made of magic, noting that humans have a "physical form", along with having their SOUL directly attuned to their body), Magic (All monsters are made of magic, being able to do things like make "bullet-patter cards" with their magic), Personal Domain & Battlefield Removal (When one encounters a monster they get into a fight, a FIGHT is an encounter in a monster's personal domain allowing them to fight humans, this has various rules such as turn-based combat), Creation (Monsters can make weapons, clothes and even food from magic), Limited Spatial Manipulation (Monsters can at times influence the battle box), Transmutation & Healing (Monsters can turn their attacks into healing projectiles), Absorption (Monsters and humans can absorb the SOUL as long as the person isn’t the same species as them), Danmaku (Shown here), Soul Manipulation & Essence Manipulation ( All attacks in Undertale are to the SOUL).

Notable Techniques

• Blue Mode: Papyrus has the ability to turn his opponent's soul blue, a trait he shares with his brother. This makes him able to ground his opponents, removing their ability to fly around.

• Bone Attacks: Papyrus will send numerous bones at his opponent in varying patterns and speeds. He will also often throw in unique structures and blue bones, which can only be avoided by remaining perfectly still.

• Special Attack: An unknown attack by Papyrus that he implied would have defeated Frisk.

---

Other

Standard Tactics: Papyrus would try to catch the opponent through various puzzles, after all of those fail, he will eventually opt to battle the opponent, using bone attacks against them, along with Blue Mode.

Weaknesses: Too kindhearted to truly hurt someone, leaving himself off-guard. Undyne even remarks that this is why she can't make him a royal guards member. All monsters are weak to an attack with killing intent behind it and if a monster doesn't want to fight, they are weakened greatly.
