Summary
Papyrus is a major character in Undertale, and serves as a minor virtious antagonist.

Papyrus is portrayed as a highly ostentatious skeleton that strives to become a member of the Royal Guard. While he hasn't succeeded at this, and likely never will, he still tries his very best to prove he's worthy for King Asgore's elites. His main goal in life is capture a human, and become as popular as can be. When a human named Frisk wandered into the town of Snowdin, he was already prepared with tons of poorly made puzzles and activities for them to participate in. Eventually he became friends with them on Routes that went well, completely aborting his lifelong goal. In the Routes that don't, he still cares about them deeply, and desires to find some good in them. Papyrus has an older brother named Sans, who he ultimately cares for, but consistently gets annoyed with how much he slacks off and doesn't take many things seriously.

Statistics
Tier: Low 7-C.

Name: Papyrus (Or PAPYRUS. He speaks in all upper-case)

Origin: Undertale (2015)

Gender: Male

Age: Unknown, likely an adult (Although Toby Fox once confirmed that he was younger than Sans)

Classification: Skeleton, Royal Guard Trainee, Mediocre Architect, Mediocre Chef

Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Soul Manipulation, Soul Mutilation, Danmaku, Levitation, (Can keep his opponent’s SOUL in the air despite them being in blue mode) Gravity Manipulation, Bone Manipulation, Idiosyncratic Manipulation, (Summoned a skateboard along with his bones) Possible Fog Generation, (He could be responsible for this. The fog also disappeared as soon as he was done fighting.) Possible Parachronal Cognition. (Papyrus is likely similar to Sans in this regard, as he wonders if he’s ever met Frisk before if they repeat their adventure through a different Route. However, unlike his brother, he’s completely unaware of having this power)

Attack Potency: Small Town level. (Much superior to a casual Sans. Capable of fighting and doing significant damage to a casual Frisk. Undyne also acknowledges Papyrus as a powerful opponent during his multiple training sessions with her. Not to mention they both share the same AT stat of 20)

Speed: Superhuman movement speed. FTL attack speed. His attacks can keep up with a casual Frisk, and can likely keep up with Undyne herself.

Lifting Strength: Unknown.

Striking Strength: Small Town Class.

Durability: Small Town level. (His durability matches his strength, which is a DF of 20)

Stamina: Pretty high. Can fight Frisk a total of four times until he tires out.

Range: Tens of Meters with his bone attacks.

Standard Equipment: Other than a limitless supply of bones, N/A

Intelligence: Average. Papyrus isn’t exactly the brightest character. He’s made several puzzles that were either unsolvable, malfunctioned because of something he did, or way too easy. Heck, when he was “teaching Frisk how to solve one puzzle, he outright obliviously solved it for them. He once mistakes his whole capturing goal, a human, for a rock. In fact, he almost resorts to becoming friends with his lifelong desired target. He doesn’t even want to kill them because of it. Instead, he holds them captive in a poorly made and easily escapable shed. He doesn’t know anything about dating or even simply befriending someone, as he needs a guide to lead him through it. He’s horrible at making spaghetti, and building structures. He can also make really unwise decisions, such as when he tried to befriend Frisk on the Genocide Route. He thinks there’s good in everyone, and he always thinks there’s a way to change their ways. This can lead to life-threatening issues. He’s not all that foolish though. He has a fair amount of knowledge about multiple places in the underground. He’s even capable of using “reverse psychology” to get Frisk and Undyne to become friends.

Weaknesses: While he impressed powerhouses like Undyne, he’s way too kind hearted to kill anyone. Not very wise at all, and can put his life in danger by attempting to transform psychopaths into a good person.

Notable Attacks / Techniques:


 * Bone Manipulation: He can summon bones of multiple varieties, patterns, sizes, and as many as he wants. He can even alter the length as the bone(s) are attacking. There’s two different types of bones he can summon: Normal bones and blue bones. Normal bones always do impactful damage, but blue bones can be avoided by simply standing completely still. Another way to avoid them is by dodging or jumping over them. These bones disappear after they have hit an opponent.
 * Bone Slide: He summons a bone or several and slides them horizontally across the Bullet Board. These come at a variety of different speeds.
 * Special Attack: ...Well, we don’t actually know entirely what that is, since the Annoying Dog nabbed it, and we never got a good look at it outside of seeing a long bone. With that being said, Papyrus’ canon Special Attack is...well...unknown.
 * SOUL Manipulation: He can switch his opponents SOUL mode between red and blue mode. He’s not very good at using the red mode, but quite the opposite for blue mode.
