Dust "Serrif"
To Note: I keep the Bad Sanses and the Roommate Universes separate. So if I mention Killer, for example, it is in the Bad Sanses universe. Mostly, both versions are quite similar to one another, but the interactions he has with others influences slight changes of how he grows. If you have further questions, don't be afraid to ask! (I'll go crazy/pos)
- Official height is 5'5
- He/Him
- Nihilist
- Drinks Ketchup, but rarely nowadays
- Intuitive, pessimistic, cynical, overthinker, observant, responsible, sarcastic, serious, assertive, quiet, dedicated, untrusting, overprotective, secretly jealous, cunning, ruthless, manipulative, reserved, blunt, and bitter
- His brother's dust fused with his soul when he killed him, and that is why he can see his dead brother and talk to him, so he can see him almost constantly
- Almost always the only one who sees his brother. Very rarely, however, if the magic is strong enough, a faint and hazy outline of Pap can be seen
- He reads as a hobby, usually involving old literature. When everyone was dusted, the Library was somewhere he frequented out of boredom
- He would have horrible dissociative issues, zoning out worse than most even without provocation. He struggles identifying what is real, where he is, who he's around, and what place he's at. He can be catatonic
- He cares for every papyrus he comes across, and he ends up the most gentle to them and the most patient. After all, even if he killed his brother, that doesn't mean he wants to kill others. When he's disassociated, however, he can sometimes be a danger to Cyperus and often tries to stay away from him as a result since he can forget that he's not his Papyrus
- Good friends with Powder and Saint
- He used to resent Vanilla specifically, as he envies him in so many ways
- strangely, he is friends with Red, and while the dynamic is similar to Vanilla and Red, the dynamic is tilted and often enough Red can be a little off put by him
- He can be outright nasty to others, apathetic to them, but as time goes on he's just exhausted and reserved
- He is willing to let things happen without involving himself, unless he deems it necessary to do so
- He's picky with those he's friends with, he doesn't get close to other Sanses easily and in fact tries to actively avoid making close friendships
- He won't admit it, but he sometimes argues with his brother and he looks crazy. He could be muttering at the wall and next thing you see his him strangling the air while angrily muttering
- The most hateful to Frisk, he refuses to be around any au of Frisk or Chara. Even if he got the help he needed, it just isn't possible for him to forgive them
- (This would be if we go by the Bad Guy Sanses rather than the Skeletons in one universe/house) He would despise Killer Sans specifically in the beginning of their work relationship, but as time went on they became close friends
- He wears a hood and hat since he does not want other people to see his face. It wasn't just to keep his identity stifled, he just also doesn't like to see his own face and associate it with himself. Mostly shrouded in shadow except for his eyelight or teeth sparingly, I like to think that once he starts to heal you can see more and more of his face as he starts to either forgive himself or at least can associate his face with who he is
- He can mimic Vanilla practically in every way, but he only does this to hide his identity in public or if someone confuses the two somehow. The only issue is that something just seems...off when this happens
- An erratic and violent fighting style, he's unpredictable and doesn't follow a pattern like Vanilla does
- He's jittery and when stressed he is more snappish and anxious as a result, constantly paranoid and on high alert
- He struggles with fight or flight responses when confronted or even in situations that don't require a large response. however, this usually ends with fights
- He enjoys cooking from anybody, complimenting them and eating all of it. He doesn't waste food, and he is always appreciative of someone making something. He especially loves it from the Papyri
- Talks to himself sometimes (it's actually Papyrus)
- An angry crier, but he becomes unresponsive or too frustrated to calm down easily when he's really distressed
- He picked up smoking when in the Junkyard area, finding a hat there and a mostly empty pack of cigarettes. He finally lights one when he just finishes dusting Papyrus
- Because the food supply at some point dropped, Dust ended up crossing Grillby's side of the counter and found hidden stashes of alcohol. He ends up drinking and often pretending that everyone in the bar is present when shit faced, but it ends up with him usually breaking down
- There are little times Papyrus is not with Dust since they share a soul in some ways, but it's possible
- He would call his lover Angel
- His brother had always nagged him to wear glasses, but he was always too lazy to do it. Nowadays, he can be seen wearing them when reading
- He finds comfort in forests when above ground, as it helps him clear his thoughts. Rarely though, he can't stand being around them when he starts to hallucinate the voices of those he once loved in the absence of Papyrus. If he's in the forest, he tries to at least have someone to talk to, even if it's just Pap. He hates silence.
- He's extremely patient, almost to a concerning extent. He is willing to play the long game, and so a hobby he interestingly tuned in on is chess
- He is one of the best Sanses when it comes to playing poker, you would have to be careful when making bet with him
- Is a fantastic liar when he chooses to, something about his voice is....trustworthy. If you have wonderful intuition, however, you can just pick up that odd tone he has
- No one is allowed to wake him up early, he stays up late as it is and ends up sleeping the most out of all the Sanses as a result. He is extremely grumpy otherwise. Of course, this would be if he trusts those around him. He actually ends up avoiding sleep and doesn't trust others enough when he first interacts with them. Powder or Red will fight others on waking him up once they pick up this fact
- Does crosswords when possible. He loves to do Junior Jumble because Pap used to love them. He can be seen muttering to himself and even...at ease, when he does them.
- Loves thunderstorms, he's reminded of when Pap used to need comfort as a babybones. He often can be seen watching outside a window or even standing in the rain to get those memories to be fresher in his mind
- Extremely touch starved, but often feels that he doesn't deserve to ask for it. In fact, if he really trusts someone, he leans into them if they initiate touch. If he doesn't like someone however, he'll forcefully remove them. The presence of those he cares about is enough most of the time though. Rarely, he actually will initiate touch. This is reserved for those he's extremely close with though
- Frequently has night terrors, Saint has them too and sometimes they need each other since only both can calm the other. In truth, it was something both ended up being useful for, and it was one of the things that really strengthened their bond. If we talk about the Bad Sanses, he actually was surprised to find Killer sitting beside him and even stroking his skull when he's freaking out one night. Killer knows what it feels like, and even if he knows that Dust was going to be mad, Saint wasn't present and he oddly felt that he had to take initiative. Dust ended up not complaining and actually laid his skull against Killers lap that night
- He can't sleep without hugging something. Pillow, blanket, stuffie, person? Doesn't matter, he has to have something at any point. Even if he ends up sleeping in a laundry basket, he can be seen cuddling something such as a scarf or shirt
- He buries his face in his brother's scarf when cold, or when he wants to breathe in his scent as a soothing and comforting coping mechanism
- Doesn't trust anyone with Pap's scarf, and only washes it sparingly or if he allows it since he wants to remember the scent of his brother. He uses the same soap that Papyrus used
- Will let any Papyrus clean his room, but no one else, not even Powder
- He likes photography, he ended up being closer to Stretch when he was gifted a camera from him
- He doesn't care too much for his health mentally or physically, but works on himself overtime if he's in a safe environment
- Usually doesn't speak unless someone else prompts him to, but he'll sometimes do it unprompted on rare occasion
- Magic smells of leather and slight tobacco, magic tastes of vanilla
- Due to starving underground after the genocide, he now has ash tinted bone and is in fact quite scrawny. Similar to Saint, he has chipped bone and sometimes dust can be seen flaking off. His situation was different though, so he didn't physically change too much like Saint did
- He doesn't seem like it, but he actually enjoys certain puns even after everything. He's a hard skeleton to crack, but with the right joke he can ease up around someone almost as in approval. Depending on who he's connecting with, the joke can be a lame pun, or seeing someone make a fool of themselves
- He is not prone to listen a lot of the time, more spiteful and petty. Like Vanilla, he won't do something well or at all if he doesn't like someone, but he's less subtle about it than him. He won't enjoy scoldings either, since he's used to being scolded a lot more anyways from Pap
- He likes to provoke people at times, and can even actively be passive aggressive or nasty to them as a result. He won't apologize either, and only will apologize if he really deems that person worthy of it
- He's really secretive, and in fact if he's in the roommate timeline it would take awhile for others to REALLY know what happened. Even then he doesn't like talking about it
- His clothes are covered in dust, so that's what he often smells like if he's not using magic. It faintly can remind someone of a dusty attic or library, but for a monster it's very unpleasant and disorienting
- He will threaten someone in a rather calm manner, not bothering to raise his voice. He detaches himself, and if he's really angry he can become what he was like with Frisk: manic and unhinged
- He has a high pain tolerance, so he can have someone smash his face with an object and he'll stumble sure, but he won't react to it much
Closing Notes: oh my STARS bro he's one of my favorites to work with, I actually have a lot of fun when talking about him and exploring his character. I didn't care much for him when I was younger, but that's because I was crazy or somethingðŸ¤
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed reading! I feel weird when people interact but I appreciate when you guys do. Thank you for reading🫶🫶
Red Serrif

- He/Him
- Nihilist
- Emotional constipation is this guys middle name do NOT expect him to give good advice
- Horrible at taking care of himself, his bedroom is yucky
- Drinks Mustard
- Extremely patient with his brother, despite acting otherwise
- He blames himself for his bad dynamic with his brother, he knows that Pitch is trying to mend it but the two just don't know how to go about it
- Older brother model with Rus
- Ha has little to no filter
- Assertive, pessimistic, cynical, overthinker, lazy, distrustful, blunt, playful, easily irritated, teasing, confrontational, laid back, intuitive, and reckless
- He had a weird relationship with Gaster, and he wishes that he was able to do more before he watched Gaster lose HOPE
- Prefers pranks and knock knock jokes over puns
- Will welcome a fight, though he tends to provoke them at times since he learned that being a smug asshole shows his cool guy persona
- He has outright thrown Burgerpants out of Grillby's before
- He is a dog person but doesn't admit it to Pitch
- He curses often, but he actively tries not to in front of Pitch
- He likes action films since it's fast paced and dramatic, but he secretly loves romance films sometimes and can get sucked in a telenovela
- He doesn't admit it, but he gets jumpscared by horror films and ends up feeling embarrassed
- He'll eat practically anything and compliment someone's garbage food, but you can tell he likes something when he takes his time
- He only likes Grillby's burgers, no one can perfectly get it right
- Wore mittens underground, but he doesn't use them much when he was thrown into another alternative timeline
- He uses his magic to light his cigarettes, flicking his thumb to do so since his magic involves flame like abilities
- His magic smells of burning wood, while his magic tastes of cherry
- He has ash and yellow tinted bone due to his smoking and overall environment undergroung
- I think he'd be allergic to cats, so he always knows when Doomfanger is around
- He feels like he can't protect Pitch anymore, especially since he remains distant with Pitch, he's the one to push the distance between the two
- He wears sneakers to annoy others, especially in Snowdin since they squeak
- He has a collar he got from Alphys, so he gave it to his pet rock. Instead of it being a "tame rock" he'll take it on walks and go "down! Down boy!" As if it growled. Frisk has probably heard it do so before but no one knows if it's sentient or not
- He sweats due to his heavy jacket & stress. Because of his stress, his eye glows constantly in one eyelight
- He always wears 5 rings and uses magic to prevent them from falling off, he's basically flexing that he can use his magic for dumb reasons
- Calls Pitch any variation of Boss. "Chief, Jefe, Boss, Honcho, Boss Man, etc"
- He tried Pitch's boots once and felt alive
- Pays Grillby in socks, even if it pisses him off. Grillby doesn't seem to mind though, since he can be seen wearing them
- He got a custom jacket from Grillby for making him laugh once. This is canon since it's proven to be a copy of what Grillby wears but I decided that it would be cool if it was customized by Pitch to give him an original style
- He sells chimichangas that his brother makes instead of hot dogs
- Likes fist bumps
- Would play electric guitar if given the chance
- Has beef with Error
- wore a grey jacket, mismatched socks, Crocs, and a nasty red shirt before he got yassified
- Opens his mouth with fire in genocide battle
- He struggles expressing himself, so he uses physical touch instead
- He would make a horrible first impression
- He would call Frisk "pipsqueak"
- An angry crier, he hyperventilates and can lash out at others. He doesn't like to do that though, so he often will hide away to cry
- Would call his lover "sweetheart"
- Plays the trumpet
- A woman respecter
- Has a red tricycle with small little red flames to look cooler than Vanilla's bike
- "His room would be messier with a bunch of socks,slippers, and sneakers (all mix matched) he’d probably have a pile of broken alarm clocks that papyrus gave him (smashed them all), a coat hanger that has one gray hoodie on it." I believe this is paraphrasing the canon creator Underfella
- His rings and gold chains act as collar/leash for his gaster blaster's during the betrayal route, I still think he'd use them even outside of this
- His red eye is reflective of his corrupted emotional state, so when he uses gravity/spacetime magic, his eye flickers yellow and orange.
- Likes green martinis [specifically honeydew martinis, an appletini, or a margarita.]
- Only calls Pitch Pap or Papyrus when it's serious or when he needs to get his attention
- Somehow has an employee discount at hot topic
- Is far from a morning person, you'll see him act like a corpse and drag a blanket around while his eyes are mostly closed. He stays up gaming though so you can't feel too bad for him
- He has a mug for coffee with just the giant words "CUM" on it
- He has reading glasses but they broke and he wants to look cool. As a result he squints his eyes a lot
- Has sleep paralysis often due to his anxiety and stress
- He shares his music tastes with others but won't let others know his favorite hobbies
- He has bitten people before. I'm sorry, I don't make the rules (I do)
- He's actively fled from his brother when it's time to clean or bathe. I know this mf smells god awful while underground. I think only above ground when he's no longer needing to put his focus on survival does he start to take care of his hygiene
- Has some cracks and scars on his bone, but no one sees it because he hides this
- His soul has a dullness to it and actively was cracked at some point. He's very protective of it and he won't show it until waaaaay later
- He can't take the heat if you flirt with him back, kinda getting a little goofy and being unable to take himself seriously- especially if you're smiling and laughing with him
- Games he likes to play are more free shooter games, sandbox games such as Minecraft, and in secret he has ACNH where he makes sure his island has style and a good aesthetic
- He would be the king of socks like Vanilla but he gives his socks to Grillby instead
Closing Notes: some of these are straight up from Underfella, so I recommend going over to their account to give this popular AU some fun! I don't expect the creator to ever see my stuff, but I wanted to stay at least devoted to their creation while throwing out my own interpretations and hc's! Thank you for reading
