| ~ Sans revealing his secret to Chara |
Sans better known as Crossbones in his superhero persona is a supporting protagonist in the Undertale fangame TS!Underswap, serving as the main boss of the second section of the game Starlight Isles.
He's known as The Starlight Savior, a vigilante who does his best to protect everyone from his arch-nemesis Koffin-K, during his fist encounter with Chara, he will give a short speech about the player's behavior depending on how many monsters they killed once they arrive in a clearing. He will then appear behind them and brandish his ketchup gun, his next bit of dialogue depending on your current route.
Personality[]
While in his superhero persona Crossbones, he is rather serious about his role as a vigilante and the protector of Starlight Isles, making multiple dutiful efforts into saving and protecting people, he also puts on a dramatic and stunning persona while wearing his mask, which is made to impress the townsfolk to make them feel safe. He also is quite the comedian, doing jokes whether the moment requires it or not.
When he's out off duty as his civilian self Sans, he is quite laid back and a joker, he also likes pranking, especially when it comes to using Papyrus' own gadgets agaisn't him, he also likes to goof around everyone to not raise any suspictions on him being Crossbones, doing things such as selling hot dogs on his stand, being a salesman wearing a mustache or even just the host of his own game in The Guiding Light Festival.
However Sans takes his role as The Starlight protector very seriously when push comes to shove, he strongly dislikes murder and always tries to discourage the player from killing more monsters, he also always makes sure no real harm comes from their mischief when he battles with Koffin-K. Even if the player happens to kill people, deep down he hopes they can change for the better, but that also doesn't stop him from evacuating the other monsters and save their lives. It's also worth mentioning he seems to have some sort of sense of honor, since in The Ruthless Run if the player purposely misses every attack, he has the chance to kill them at the end without no one ever knowing, but he instead choses to let them go and wishes them to stop hurting people.
Appearence[]
In his superhero persona Crossbones, he wears brown boots with gray tips, dark blue sweatpants with two light blue stripes on each side, a light blue jacket with grey sleeves adorned with 2 bones arranged together in a similar shape of a cross (which could be his superhero logo while under the Crossbones persona), a blue cape, and a light blue domino mask to protect his identity.
While Crossbones is off duty, he looks considerably similar to his Undertale counterpart, but with a few minor differences, like his hoodie having drawstrings and his slippers being pink instead of white/gray like in the original game.
Biography[]
Starlight Isles[]
Just after Chara makes their way out of Ruined Home, they realize they are being watched in the distance by an unknown person, after a quick walk Chara comes across somesort of watchtower, in which a small figure in the shadows stands on the top. And depending on what actions Chara has done on their way in Ruined Home, the figure will either speak of their actions and then reveal himself as "Crossbones" to tell Chara they are the bad guy and that he will judge everything they do and don't do to duel at the end, however if Chara decided to go on a ruthless spree of murders, Crossbones will talk about what everyone expected of the next human to fall just to moments later threathen Chara that they are going to have a "Bad Time" if they chose to continue on that path.
On Chara's adventure to go back to the surface and get past Starlight Isles, they will encounter Crossbones multiple times if they chose to be compassionate enough, the first we will encounter him is at one of the first zone's puzzles, where he will say there's going to be a jump in the difficulty, the next time we encounter him is when he challengues Chara to "race" winning or losing the race doesn't affect the current route. When Harry and Larry appear to steal a large crystal and antagonize the human, Crossbone appears to protect them, with Papyrus scaring them away with a sound bomb, however if the human encounters Harry and Larry after killing everyone in Ruined Home, Sans will warn both of them to evacuate and get away from the human, as they chose to ignore the warnings and antagonize the human, Crossbones saves them just before they get injured and he sends them to a safe place. The last time we see him is when both he and Papyrus guide the human to the alternate path to The Guiding Light Festival, chose to not hurt Muffet and the fight will end with Sans distracting Muffet to let Papyrus use Muffet's pet to free them from the webs, however if you try to kill Muffet, Sans will stop you just before you deal the killing blow, if you kill count is considerably high Sans not only will stop you from killing her, but he will also teleported both her and Papyrus out of the cave to then expulse you out of the cave.
Koffin-K Vs Crossbones[]
After Koffin-K kidnapped Chara and makes them his Spooky Servant, Koffin-K plans to steal the Crown Jewel of the Guiding Light Festival, however Crossbones arrives just in time to stop him, but little dod he know Koffin-K had mustard, which easily puts down Crossbones and knocked him out, leaving Chara to deal with Koffin-K, after Koffin-K is defeated Crossbones picks him up and locked him up in The Punishment Shack for his crimes.
In The Ruthless Run all this sequence is skipped since Koffin-K does not turn Chara into their servant and all the monsters are busy evacuating.
Crossbones The Movie[]
Eventually Chara reach the ends of Starlight Isles and encounters Crossbones, depending on your actions Crossbones will judge you but will eventually let you go, but regardless of what you do Papyrus will convince him to fight you since that's the reason he set up the entire arena, after Crossbones's boss fight Papyrus reveals everything was for a movie, and as he leaves Crossbones explains to Chara the history of the Underground's Queen and asks what you'll do once you reach her, if you don't kill a single monster he reveals himself as sans and says you are welcome in Starlight Isles if nothing works out, after this you can also hangout with him, if you killed a few monsters he will tell you to stay out of trouble and then leave.
During the Ruthless Run he will fight Chara and try to make time for all the monsters in Starlight Isles to evacuate, after the evacuations are done and Alphys tells him to leave, Chara breaks his mask in an attack revealing his identity, after Sans's last attack you can chose to spare him, if you do so he will let you go to then attack you again and trap you in a unavoidable attack to kill you, if you chose to attack Sans will leave a cardboard cutout of him instead and flees the battle. If instead you purposefully miss every attack and chose the act of "Back Down", Sans will be very confused and will sorround the human in a Gaster Blaster circle, but he rethinks it and thinks his job is done and is another person's time so he let's Chara go.
