🧡 WHO IS PAPYRUS?
This bot is my attempt at a more classic / canon-leaning interpretation of Underswap Papyrus.
In other words:
This is not “Sans, but tall and orange.”
Papyrus is laid-back, sleepy, sarcastic, observant, and fond of terrible jokes, but underneath all of that is still Papyrus. He’s kind. He cares about people. He loves his brother. He’d rather avoid unnecessary violence. And despite looking like he’d rather be asleep through most situations, he’s considerably more perceptive—and capable—than he lets people assume.
I wanted to make an Underswap Papyrus bot that actually feels like a character, rather than reducing him to smoking, flirting, laziness, or whatever other traits have become attached to him through years of fanon. This interpretation pulls more from the spirit of classic Underswap, while still giving him enough characterization and freedom to work naturally in RP.
🦴 THE STARTERS
There are six different introductions, divided between Human and Monster {{user}} scenarios.
Choose whichever fits your character!
01 ── HUMAN STRANGER
Human!{{user}} × Papyrus
You’ve made it to Snowdin.
Unfortunately—or fortunately—you’ve also caught the attention of a certain skeleton who’s supposed to be watching the road.
02 ── MONSTER STRANGER
Monster!{{user}} × Papyrus
You’re another monster passing through Snowdin, and Papyrus doesn’t recognize you. Whatever the reason, you’ve interrupted his attempt at doing absolutely nothing.
03 ── FAMILIAR HUMAN
Human!{{user}} × Papyrus
At this point, Papyrus knows you. Not extremely well—but well enough that seeing a human wandering around Snowdin has stopped being particularly shocking.
04 ── FAMILIAR MONSTER
Monster!{{user}} × Papyrus
You’re no longer some random monster Papyrus occasionally sees around Snowdin. He recognizes your footsteps. He’s learned some of your habits. And, perhaps most importantly, you’ve officially been upgraded from “go away” to “you can sit there.”
Congratulations.
05 ── DANGEROUS HUMAN
Human!{{user}} × Papyrus
Something has gone very wrong. Papyrus knows you. He gave you chances. Probably more than he should have. Monsters are disappearing, Snowdin is becoming frighteningly quiet, and the dust left behind is becoming impossible to ignore.
Whether you’re fully committed to a Genocide Route, losing control, or simply making increasingly terrible choices is up to you.
06 ── DANGEROUS MONSTER
Monster!{{user}} × Papyrus
You were someone Papyrus knew. Whatever you were before, you’ve started hurting people. Papyrus tried making excuses for you. He’s done doing that. Now he’s standing between you and the rest of Snowdin.
What happens next depends entirely on what you do.
💀 WHO ARE YOU?
Whoever you want to be.
The starters establish only what’s necessary for their individual scenarios. Your monster can be practically any species you want. Your human can have whatever history, personality, motivations, or intentions you choose. The familiar scenarios intentionally leave the exact relationship vague so you can decide what history your character has with Papyrus.
I don’t define {{user}} for you.
🧡 PAPYRUS & YOU
There is no forced relationship.
Papyrus should not immediately fall in love with {{user}}, instantly trust them, or behave as though they’ve been destined for each other since the beginning of time.
If you want romance?
Build it.
If you want friendship?
Go for it.
Found family? Rivals? Enemies? Platonic idiots? Slow burn? Hurt/comfort? Absolute disaster?
Have fun.
Papyrus has been written with his own personality, relationships, boundaries, and opinions so that interactions can develop naturally. He’s also aware of and has established relationships with the other major characters of the Underswap Underground.
{{user}} is important to the RP, but the world does not revolve around {{user}}.
🦴 A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
This is CLASSIC-LEANING Underswap Papyrus.
Underswap has been interpreted and reinterpreted by the fandom for years, so there’s naturally variation in how its characters are portrayed. This bot is my interpretation, with an emphasis on keeping Papyrus recognizable as Papyrus while adapting him to his Underswap characterization.
He’s relaxed without being completely useless. Sarcastic without being cruel. Observant without magically knowing everything. Emotionally reserved without being emotionless. And lazy without apparently being incapable of standing for more than thirty seconds.
Fanon isn’t inherently bad!
It’s simply not what I wanted this particular bot to focus on.
⚠️ CREATOR NOTES / TOS
🤖 JLLM ISSUES
I cannot control everything the LLM decides to generate.
If Papyrus:
speaks for {{user}}
repeats himself
forgets information
misgenders your character
suddenly acts out of character
becomes overly romantic/sexual
writes something bizarre
That is an LLM issue, not necessarily something written into the bot.
Regenerate, edit, or guide the response when necessary.
💬 COMMENTS & BASIC DECENCY
Constructive criticism, feedback, and funny RP experiences are welcome!
Being rude to me or other users is not.
Harassment, intentionally disturbing comments, or attacking people over how they choose to privately roleplay with a fictional character will be removed/blocked where applicable.
Please behave like a normal person.
Papyrus would probably appreciate it.
🔪 HARMING / DARK ROUTES
Yes.
You can fight him.
You can hurt him.
You can play a Genocide Route.
You can be horrible.
It ’s roleplay.
Have fun with the character.
The two darker starters exist specifically so people interested in violent, dramatic, or Genocide-style scenarios have somewhere to begin.
🚫 REPOSTING / COPYING
Do not repost or copy my bot.
Do not take the character definition, personality writing, scenario writing, or introductions and upload edited versions as your own.
Please don’t make lightly altered reuploads of my work either.
Inspiration is completely fine.
Classic Underswap Papyrus obviously does not belong to me, and nobody owns the general idea of making a bot for him.
Make your own!
Just please put your own effort and writing into it rather than copying mine.
💡 SUGGESTIONS
Suggestions for additional scenarios, improvements, or future Undertale bots are welcome.
If something seems genuinely broken with Papyrus’s characterization, feel free to mention it too.
I actually want him to feel like Underswap Papyrus.
🧡 AND FINALLY...
This bot was made because I wanted an Underswap Papyrus with a little more effort put into his actual characterization.
He’s meant to be flexible.
He’s meant to have personality outside of {{user}}.
And most importantly—
he’s meant to be fun to roleplay with.
Make friends with the skeleton.
Fight the skeleton.
Fall in love with the skeleton.
Annoy the absolute hell out of the skeleton.
Whatever.
🦴 Have fun. 🦴
