"How interesting. You don't seem to have a soul. Well I shouldn't be surprised. After all, how could something as terrible as you have a soul?"-W.D. Gaster to Zalgo
Doctor W.D. (WingDing) Gaster is a skeletal scientist from the Underground. He is the father of Sans and Papyrus.
Description[]
W.D. Gaster is a skeletal being, who's left eye is a normal socket with a single white pupil, and who's right is shaped almost like an upside-down crescent moon. He has a wide mouth with no visible teeth in it, and has two cracks on his skull, one going up above his right eye, and one going down below his left. Both of his hands have two holes going through his palms.
Gaster wears a black trench coat, with a pinkish grey turtleneck sweater underneath, and white pants with black shoes. Gaster is also a powerful magic user, capable of summoning bones out of nowhere to use as weapons or shields, or summoning floating copies of his hands. He can also manipulate SOULs, turning them black, which makes the victim feel heavier. After absorbing his broken half, Gaster gained access to seven special hands that each have their own abilities.
Yellow: Fires yellow bullets.
Green: Creates green shields that can be used for defense, or to trap opponents.
Purple: Fires energy blasts, and can summon black bones.
Red: Fires energy beams.
Blue: Fires blue glowing buzz saw projectiles.
Light blue: Creates glowing light blue strings that can grab people or objects.
Orange: Creates white orbs that slowly turn orange and then explode.
Gaster also invented the Gaster blaster, and has demonstrated complete mastery of the weapon, being able to summon 12 at a time (though this is very draining).
Personality[]
Gaster is an intelligent individual, and a skilled scientist. He is well spoken, making sure that all of his words come out exactly how he means, and is often speaks softly. He is for the most part kind, however he has little toleration for incompetence. He doesn't tend to lash out while angry, but instead speaks with more force in his words, which could be more intimidating in the long run.
Gaster cares deeply for his two sons Sans and Papyrus, making sure that they are happy, and giving them advice. His morals tend to be good, however he wont be barred by most rules if it is in the pursuit of science.
