Helvetica

Helvetica, commonly referred to as Helv, is WD's brother (and to a technical extent Gaster's), Sans and Papyrus's uncle, and Shae's adoptive uncle. He served as antagonist until he finally went to AA rehab to deal with his severe alcohol issues that were destroying his relationship with his family.

He lives in his recently-renovated home along with his new roommate and boyfriend, Conroy.

Appearance
Standing at 8', Helvetica is a very tall skeleton, towering even over Gaster. He has a slanted jaw, triangular nose socket, oval eye sockets with pupils, and a more larger frame compared to Gaster.

Pre-Rehab
When sober, Helvetica is a gruff and cocky skeleton who doesn't mind to spar and be competitive. Despite this, he is still boisterous and still loves his family. However, he shows a strong distaste to humans, though he simply tries to avoid and dismiss them. He sometimes can go too far when sparring, as he nearly kills Papyrus while sparring, though he genuinely felt bad. He also has a more harsh approach to punishment, as he wanted to lock Papyrus in a closet whenever he fused with Shae, a human.

When drunk, Helvetica may become violent and inappropriate. As shown by his near life-long alcohol issues, Helvetica has commitment issues, especially to rehab (though he does eventually give in and goes to it.)

Despite all of this, he eventually begins to show genuine remorse for everything he's done, to the point where he wishes to simply rot away in a random alley. At some point, he even had stopped being disgusted at humans. He even is

Post-Rehab
After he was released from rehab, Helvetica had a drastic change to his personality and attitude, now more friendly and approachable, though he still is a bit brash and cocky sometimes. However, he means well. He is accepting of humans and no longer despises or distrusts them. He has a soft spot for Sofia, being softer around her.

Despite his positive change, he still has some difficulty showing affection and receiving it, though he will accept hugs and will hug when needed. Admitted by himself, Helvetica also assumes he has no chance in the dating world. Thanks to the skelefam and Conroy, he is better at receiving and giving affections, and realizing he's not doomed to be single.

Helvetica still keeps his competitive and boisterous nature, though it's in good-spirit.

Pre-SHAETALE
Not much is known about Helvetica before his debut in the AU, but Gaster does somewhat hint at Helvetica always having a drinking problem.

Debut Arc
After being learnt about, Sans, Papyrus, and Shae wished to meet him. However, Gaster, especially WD's side, was hesitant, but allowed it. At first, Helvetica was shown to be not so bad. However, his distaste to humans made him avoid Shae. He then began drinking, causing everything to go downhill.

After slapping the mains and (drunkingly thus unknowingly) flirting with Papyrus, he is ordered to leave by an angry Gaster. He leaves with anger.

Return Arc
Helvetica makes a return months later, wishing to reconcile with the family, albeit him still being salty at them. He seemingly shows remorse and is shown reconciling with his family, including Shae. Helvetica then challenges Ariel and Papyrus to spar with him. Helvetica suddenly begins to get too much into the spar, causing him to scruff up Ariel and almost kill Papyrus; Helv lowered his HP to 1. However, after he once again gets drunk, he openly talks to himself about his plan, thus Shae finds out he had a plan to injure Ariel and Papyrus. He uses his unique ability to force her into silence.

Helvetica, sparring with the RG squad again, goes even harder on Ariel and Papyrus, stabbing Papyrus and destabilizing Ariel, poofing them both.

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

Unique Abilities
Semi-Mute: Helvetica can force people into silence by putting someone's hands over their own mouth, and pressing on it with his fingers or hands. It does not force complete mutedness, but rather stopping people from saying specific word or phrases.

Fusions
Helvetica has yet to fuse.
