Alright, for those still around, here’s a full reveal of Gaster’s backstory, as best as I can remember it:

Dr. Asani was the royal scientist before Gaster. He was a grumpy, agoraphobic man of questionable morals. He lived and breathed in his lab, and eventually he got sick, started falling down. His particular area of study was focused on the idea that magic could be encoded and described, but it was mostly a failure until near the end of his life.

He wasn’t able to accept his oncoming death, so he began to create Gaster to be a new, fresh body he could write his soul into. He (being a monster species capable of reproducing without a partner) did some pretty heinous experiments on his own infants and ended up killing one to use for a fresh empty soul. (The rest went to adoption, anonymously.) In his dying moments, he succeeded in bringing Gaster to life, but not as a perfect copy of himself, just with his knowledge. Gaster was never even truly finished, which is why his face is so simple and imperfect.

Gaster, therefore, is a monster with a real physical form and a soul attached to him through the crystals set in his palms. Asgore and Toriel discovered him and helped him develop into his own person and keep his origins secret. He turned his back on Asani’s research and focused on bettering life in the Underground. Through it, he met his followers and best friends, and developed many pieces of infrastructure including the Core.

He was a godparent to Chara and Asriel and helped raise them. It was the best time of his life. But when Chara died, everything changed. Monster society was rent in two with Asgore’s pronouncement and Toriel’s leaving. Breaking the barrier and reviving the dead kids became Gaster’s highest priority, and that turned him back to Asani’s research.

With the power of the Core, much more progress was able to be made, with determination and magical encoding. Slowly but surely, this included less ethical experimentation, until the final accident that distorted Gaster and his followers (and one of the follower’s children). An error in the magical coding scattered them all across time and space. The only partial survivor is the monster who came to be known as Riverperson, the parent of Galo, the monster known in fandom as Goner Kid. They never forgave Gaster for the incident.

Gaster, meanwhile, got scattered across the multiverse. With each shard of his soul that found another piece he appeared, temporarily, in a new timeline and got a tiny bit of his body back. His strange clothes were void, as he remembered his body but the universe didn’t. His glitch dice mechanic reflected the multiplicity of his existence. The redacted CYOA event was the bit of his soul came from Asani trying to find its way back.

Eventually, he would have gained some capacity to travel the multiverse consciously and manipulate some of the magical code at will, and I had hoped one day he’d bond to someone strongly enough to deal with what he’d done and become and settle into a new home.

[[ I have run into an issue with this blog, where I’m invested in Gaster, but I’m slow to reply, so most threads I start end up getting dropped by my partner before they’re completed and I can’t rly establish any solid relationships for Gaster, which saps my motivation to rp here, which makes me even slower than normal. Etc etc. And I’m not sure what to do about it. ]]

determination-and-familiars:

     Flowey opened his mouth to speak first again before Frisk, but by how unamused the tall skeletal monster looked, Frisk reached up to cover the flower’s mouth with her hand. Anyone else who had tried to shush the flower in such a way would be immediately showered with pellets or skewered with thorny vines. Flowey however just glared at the human but actually stayed quite.

     Keeping her hand in place, Frisk sighed in defeat and nodded. “You’re right, we really shouldn’t be here. It’s a terrible excuse but I was just so curious to know more about Sans. Unlike his brother, he’s always so secretive.” While she was saying it out loud, it was really sinking in just how nosy she was being. Flowey’s curiosity levels really were beginning to rub off on her. Well, maybe not as bad as his were. She would never harm someone just to see what would happen.

     “Flowey said if this stuff was left abandoned down here than it wouldn’t hurt to look through it.”

     With that, said flower made Frisk move her hand, by licking it.

     “Uugh! Flowey! Gross!” The girl certainly did move her hand from silencing the flower in an attempt to wipe the sticky flower nectar off on her shorts.

     The plant snickered at the human’s disgust before looking up at Gaster. “Now why are you here? I thought everyone else was gone.”

There was a phrase in all those words Gaster caught, that struck him as abnormal. If it was left abandoned. That wasn’t so much the phrasing for a dead man’s leftovers. It lacked a murderer’s certainty. Though, Sans did escape for that fateful final showdown. Really, there was only one way to confirm his suspicions, and that was to check if the landscape was strewn with dust. Ideally, he could draw them outside with him. They should never have been in here in the first place.

With a half step back, while the pair bickered almost playfully—it almost hurt to see—he felt around behind him until his hand hit the knob and he gently grasped it, twisted, and pushed. The cold air from outside blew in past him, whistling through the spaces in his clay joints. The question Flowey posed was scarcely answerable: he struggled and loathed explaining his circumstances in his own Hands, never mind with tongue. He couldn’t wrap his mouth around the words; how simply could one explain so much?

He stepped back, out into the snow and cold, and gestured Frisk and Flowey out. He had no authority over them to force them to obey, but they hadn’t tried to kill him yet. Frisk had almost looked guilty earlier. It was worth a shot. But as for Flowey’s question, looking down at the little creature, he had only a single word, “Wandering.”

As a test, he supplemented it with the motions of his hands, the language of sign, “I have been wandering a long time.” It would be far easier if he could communicate that way.
