SS!Papyrus

SS!Papyrus is a young teenager and a counterpart of Papyrus. He is the deuteragonist of the SKELESIS AU. He lives in the "sitcomansion" with his adoptive mother Shae, along with Emily, Wyatt, Tommy, Daniel, Martel, and Sans.

Appearance
As a Papyrus, SS!Papyrus stands at 5'7 and is a lanky and average height skeleton with a skull more vertical and geometric than his brother. BB!Papyrus greatly resembles his mother Ariel (the only difference between them is that Ariel's jaw is more pointed and she has pupils.) Being skeletal, many of his expressions incorporate a toothy grin. His eyes resemble vertical slits; he has eyeballs which show at times when he is experiencing strong emotions. his nose is heart-shaped.

Unlike most other Papyruses, SS!Papyrus does not have a battle body. Instead, he typically wears an orange sweater, shorts, red-orange boots, and an orange cat beanie. He still has and wears his signature red-orange scarf inherited from Ariel.

Personality
Due to spending his entire life hiding indoors, Papyrus is somewhat sheltered and is very socially awkward. Nonetheless, he is still a friendly, bubbly skeleton who is open to making new friends.

He is optimistic, innocent, and very forgiving to the point he would forgive someone for killing him. He is also occasionally forgetful, oblivious, and nonobservant, but can be cunning at times, as seen when he retreats from sparring Tinero as he knows he isn't trained to take him on and when he threw rocks and used a water gun on Jerry. He sees the good in everyone and believes in everyone blindly, and rarely gets truly mad or enraged; he even has enough self-control to not ever kill people, even if they are enemies. He often puts other's needs first over his own. Papyrus is neutral on puns.

SKELESIS Prequel
When he was just a 1 year old baby, Papyrus is teleported to the surface by Gaster so he doesn't fall into the CORE. He is found by a young Shae, who takes him in and manages to take care of him, despite her being a child herself.

SKELESIS
Years later, Shae turns 18 and moves out of her childhood home, taking Papyrus with her.

They live in an urban home for a few years, but their home is destroyed by humans, who had threatened both of them. Wyatt and Emily, both moving out for different reasons, invite both Shae and Papyrus to live in a mansion Wyatt had purchased.

Abilities
SS!Papyrus has all standard monster abilities and skeleton monster abilities, including ones exclusive to the skelefam.

However, due to growing up with a human and never training, Papyrus does not know how to use magic and his magic is very weak.

Agility: Despite never previously training, Papyrus is still as agile, if not more, as his counterparts. He can easily keep up with Calibri, Tinero, and Oswald and traverse rooftops without falling behind or becoming slow.

Resourcefulness: Papyrus is shown to use objects around him to defend himself or to help someone. He uses a water gun and rocks in attempt to cause a distraction to give someone else in peril time to escape.

Shae
Papyrus sees Shae as his mother, and she in return sees him as her son. He deeply cares for her. The two are very close and she is one of the few people he is comfortable around. The two often sing together and Shae serves as his mentor/teacher. Like Sans, Shae is overprotective of him.

Wyatt
Papyrus views Wyatt as his father, the two get along well. Wyatt fully accepts him as Shae's son and as a monster.

Sans
Despite never knowing Sans, Papyrus quickly bonds with him and the two quickly become close. Sans, despite not having seen Papyrus in 15 years, quickly grows fond of him and becomes overprotective of him. The two often watch Steven Universe together and are seen hanging out. Papyrus is still nervous around him, calling him Mr. Sans, though he has warmed up to him some.

Trivia

 * Due to his social awkward behavior, Papyrus calls everyone by their name but puts a Mr./Mrs. in front, but he will stop putting a prefix in the front once he's more comfortable around then.
 * However, he calls Ariel "Mrs. Mom" and Gaster "Mr. Dad", a mannerism that Darwin from The Amazing World of Gumball has as well. Gohan from Dragon Ball Z calls Piccolo "Mr. Piccolo", somewhat having this mannerism too.
 * For non-binary characters or those who uses they/them pronouns, Papyrus will use "Mx." as the prefix.
