Backstory
Glitchreaper wasn't always a villain. He began as a regular Sans in a peaceful AU (Alternate Universe) called Mirrortale, where he lived a content, if somewhat mundane, life with his brother Papyrus and their friends. The world he lived in was stable, simple, and free from the complexities of multiverse conflicts. As with many other versions of Sans, he was witty, laid-back, and secretly protected his loved ones. Life, for once, was quiet, and he felt… almost happy.
But one day, Mirrortale began to glitch. Random events that didn't make sense would occur—a clock ticking backward, flowers speaking strange words, friends forgetting things that had just happened. And then, to his horror, Sans discovered the truth: Mirrortale was collapsing. He learned that AUs sometimes "died" when they were forgotten by the world, slipping into non-existence due to lack of interest or interference from others.
Desperate to save his universe, Sans tried everything he could to stabilize it. He experimented with forbidden magics, searched the furthest reaches of his world, and pleaded for help from neighboring AUs. Eventually, he encountered a mysterious entity known only as "The Codekeeper." The Codekeeper claimed they could save Mirrortale by giving Sans control over the AU's core code. They warned him, however, that meddling with this power would cost him dearly.
In his desperation, Sans ignored the warning and agreed, and he was infused with the code that held Mirrortale together. But the power overwhelmed him, and instead of saving his home, he glitched it even further. The world began to unravel, and as Sans watched, his friends, his brother, and his memories started to distort and dissolve into static. Sans was left clutching only fragments of his broken reality. Mirrortale was gone, erased from existence, leaving Sans stranded in a dark, empty void.
Anguished and broken, Sans drifted aimlessly through the remnants of his lost AU. As time passed, he transformed into Error Sans, his memories tangled and scarred. His once easygoing nature hardened into a mistrust of the multiverse itself. Sans became haunted by visions of his lost loved ones and the life he couldn't save. He believed the only way to find peace was to destroy all AUs, to erase every reminder of what he lost and prevent others from suffering as he did.
In his bitterness, he gained a new purpose: eradicating AUs to "cleanse" the multiverse of its instability. He hunted down other AUs, believing that by removing these alternate worlds, he could protect what remained of his broken memories. Though he pretends to be unfeeling and powerful, there are moments when he falters, his memories surfacing in painful fragments.
Though he now embodies chaos and destruction, deep down Glitchreaper is still haunted by the fragments of a life he once cherished, a life he could never truly save.
