The concept of Troll/Trojan! Sans and the multiverse cloud

For additional information, see the Trolltale or Trollasks tag. If you want, you can also ask a question on my profile!

❥ The story of the Troll! sans

The idea of the Trojan, after all, is quite simple: a virus in disguise that inhabits a hacked version of Undertale, found on a random website on the internet. The identity of who created it is, however, unknown.

Think of the following situation: a random person decides, for some random reason, to download a cracked version of Undertale from a pirate site. When starting to play, the game appears to be normal, with the exact same conversation with Flowey and a little help from Toriel. Everything remains exactly the same until you enter the ruins when you fall right into the fight against Sans, who announces that the game is actually a trojan and that now your computer is being corrupted.

Despite the controversy, he can still be considered a Sans, so he is able to normally inhabit the multiverse as an Outcode, albeit with some new concepts.

❥The multiverse cloud

To understand what the multiverse cloud or multiversal cloud is, you need to keep one thing in mind: Everything within the Undertale multiverse, like most things today, was created and is on the internet, stored and saved in posts and drawings spread across all social networks. The multiverse cloud, as the name implies, is where all this content produced over the years by many different people is stored. This cloud, however, is not something physical and reachable like the Doodle sphere, but rather a concept that indicates that everything is irrefutably online.

As he is not completely a Sans created for the community, but a virus in disguise, Trojan has the ability to mentally access any corner of the internet, looking for information and inspiration that he wants. I say mentally because, like anyone else, he is limited to staying within the multiverse, since despite everything, he is still a Sans and emerged from a version of Undertale.

❥Personality

To start talking about personality, the first thing is finally to differentiate the Troll from the Trojan. The best way to do this is to know the difference between a shell and the contents inside it.

Being more honest, it is more correct to imagine him as the Trojan horse, evidencing the name: Troll is the horse and Trojan the Spartan army.

Troll, the shell (or the horse, whichever you prefer) is how you'll most often see it. He is outgoing, sociable, self-centered, and in some ways even lovable. He has no problems talking to people and is usually very good with words, often knowing exactly what to say to draw people closer to him. Normally, it can be said that there is an invisible aura that surrounds his body and makes people trust or, at the very least, feel strangely comfortable around him (some emotionally stable and attentive characters may realize that these feelings are not natural and that there is something wrong with him, causing them to pull away).

Now, when we talk about Spartan army – or the bitter contents inside the shell – things change drastically. That's because Trojan is always behind Troll's striking personality and rarely reveals himself openly (he is, despite this, not like a second personality, but a face that hides behind a mask, or a pseudonym).

Due to his free access to the internet, Trojan is one of the smartest people and strategists in the multiverse. He is extremely manipulative, apathetic and chaotic, usually acting indirectly to cause confusion or minor mass hysteria.

He likes to use double meaning words and vague phrases to trick people into assuming things that are the exact opposite of reality. He can also use his powers to assume a form (known or not) to deceive people or obtain information, such as a kind of "fake profile".

In this form, in short, he acts like a troll a Chan would normally act.

However, he usually works in the shadows, never leaving a trace and taking action from time to time. He prefers never to give a real reason for anyone to distrust him or directly accuse him, as this is linked to his greatest fear: being unmasked.

Ironically, the Trojan's weaknesses and fears are directly linked to its greater power.

It is capable of corrupting and erasing the code of any character, story or place within the multiverse, as a destructive virus would normally do, however, like a normal virus, there is always an obstacle: the antivirus.

Entering a person and breaking into their code, their hardware, there is always the possibility that there is an antivirus inside them. If there really is something installed inside that person – or if that is even possible – it is something he is not able to know. There is a great psychological barrier around him when it comes to infecting an individual that makes him, most of the time, prefer not to mess with anyone directly.

He is not afraid of death and, to be honest, it is not even possible to know if Trojan is really capable of dying completely, since he is a shapeshifter connected directly to the internet and nothing that is online can be deleted, which he always does. come back, slightly modified. The real fear of the Trojan is that its hoax will be discovered: if someone discovers its true nature, and, by chance, they end up setting fire to its Trojan horse, he will be vulnerable and defenseless, since the main ability of a trojan is power disguise itself as a harmless application. Once discovered, he is no longer dangerous.

He will never let that happen, though. Never.

❥Appearance

Eyes (in case anyone wants):

Remember when I said Trojan is a virus and a Sans at the same time? So I consider it much more like a virus masquerading as Sans than the other way around.

I say this because it is precisely now that things are separated: in fact, Trojan has two appearances, one of him as Sans and the other as a virus.

Unfortunately, there aren't as many details about his virus appearance as I'd like there to be, mostly because he's undeniable and keeps changing: one minute he looks more humanoid, another time he takes on a form that's arguably unimaginable. There is no way to predict what he will look like every time he is seen.

However, there is always one detail that remains the same, no matter how much the body changes: his face transforms into a form very similar to a Guy Fawkes mask.

Now, speaking of your Sans version:

He wears an overcoat with a purple and pink gradient, a green T-shirt, semi-wide pants and black shoes.

There is also a gold pendant attached to a black cord. The symbol represents Sparta and is directly linked to the fact that Troll is a Trojan horse.

His right eye is normally shaped like a pink hourglass, but it changes to the World Wide Web symbol every time he is using an ability called Digital Super Awareness.

❥Powers and skills

He can mentally access any corner of the internet. Trojan constantly uses this power, either to look for information on a certain subject or simply to have fun (this also makes him constantly break the fourth wall). Personally, he calls this ability Digital Super Awareness.

He can also transport objects and things he finds online into the multiverse. Although it looks like a destructive power (and it really is), he never uses it directly on a large scale, preferring to bring food or small objects. If you get close to these objects, you can find a stock image watermark.

He can change shape, adding more body parts and even changing his size. He can also change his appearance to something he's seen online, whether it be existing characters in the multiverse or not. This makes, technically, any fanart made of him can be or has been canon.

Like a virus, he can infect, destroy and modify any character, but due to the fear that there could be an antivirus inside the code, he will only do so in cases of extreme, extreme urgency, when there are no more alternatives for him to save himself.

Trojan is technically immortal, as nothing can be erased from the internet and he is directly linked with the virtual world. However, he will never be the same as the previous one, since his new version is a fanon version (so, like fanarts, a fanon version can become a canonical version if the original Trojan dies).

❥Biographical information

HP: 1

Love: completely unknown

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Birthday: October 25th

AU: He doesn't own one, but it's likely he took a random AU for himself. If by chance you enter it, you will see a multicolored place similar to the screen of an old computer.

Font: MS Sans Serif

Height: As mentioned in the appearance part, he has two bodies that differ from each other. The most common height is around 157cm (5'2"), however it can be made longer or shorter depending on your needs.

Pronouns: Trojan identifies as a male, but he responds to any pronouns. He really doesn't care.

Sexuality: Although this will never happen canonically, Trojan can fall in love like an ordinary person. Now, there can be interpretations (and I really don't care about that), but personally I see him as being pansexual. There is an inner headcanon that despite being so confident and self-centered, he is extremely nervous and panicked when talking to a woman. This nervousness passes after some time together, by the way.

Favorite food: He doesn't have a favorite food, but he prefers foods that are either very sweet or very salty, there is no middle ground. He strangely loves the taste of iron and metal, it's common to see him with objects that contain these components in his mouth (please don't do this. Let him kill himself).

An important note: Trojan does not have an official theme song, but there are plans for one in the future, along with a game.
