Here we are again with another design, before we get into phases, I decided to show off Paps, aka the caped wonder, something I came up with just now for a silly transition, why? Well I hated how miniscule Phantom Paps is in Dusttale,

So in mg dustdust take I made him more powerful and also actually real? He's the one taking sans from place to place. So onto the personality and abilities!

Dustdust: Shadowy Echoes!Papyrus Personality:

Getting this out of the way in advance, compared to canon dusttale and other fanon takes of the au, Papyrus is actually much more real, although for the most part he can still only be seen by Sans and in addition other ghosts/phantoms, this state of being invisible to most people will cease when he's helping his brother fight, and will quickly return back to normal once he is finished with the battle he's helping with. Sense Papyrus is much more real than canon Phantom Papyrus, he obviously has much more personality as well. For the most part Papyrus still acts as he used to, energetic, helpful, aspiring to help his brother the most he can. Papyrus acts much like his classic Counterpart, although he does still encourage/inspire/help Sans with his quest, meaning that he could go from innocent for the most part to dark very fast, going from a nice conversation about how things used to be, to telling sans how to effectively kill the foe he's facing. Papyrus used to be just like normal Dusttale phantom Papyrus, but in the reset that everything changed Papyrus too started getting corrupted with hate as sans already had been, his transformation into a being composed of mostly hate was much faster than sans sense he was a phantom anyways, but the more hate Papyrus had, the more his body started to come back. He was no longer being just a head and hands, instead eventually becoming his whole upper body trailing off at the bottom of his spine into a smoggy hate trail.

Dustdust: Shadowy Echoes!Phantom Papyrus Moveset:

As implied in the rewrite for the main story (This was orginally just written for my discord server, neither stories have been posted here yet), there has been a complete character overhaul,

But it wasn't for sans, it was for PAPYRUS.

As Sans gained more hate, Papyrus also gained more hate, but only because he was connected to Sans. As Papyrus gained more hate, he became more than just a hallucination, he became REAL again, regaining his personality (somewhat), and also gaining a few new tricks just like Sans did...

Lets get his most alarming new abilities out of the way.

-Partial Omniscience: As Papyrus became real once more, his thoughts also came back, except due to how strained their universe was, he no longer JUST had his old memories, but memories of every single run that has happened in his au. This also came with something interesting that opened his eyes to alternate universes however...He had the memories of various other AU Papyruses as well, he could even experience them in his head. This knowledge made Papyrus realize that there was more to the multiverse, that his universe was only one of MANY. He often uses this ability to help Sans identify new Aus, sorta like a lil au encyclopedia.

-Rift Manipulation: When papyrus gained his partial omniscience, he also gained the ability to create rifts in the space time continuum. These rifts can of course be used to travel to other Aus, but also to other DIMENSIONS completely as well. He can use these rifts freely to hop both alternate universes, as well as every dimension in every au as well.

These two abilities may be OP, but there are a few things to note.

1. Papyrus's omniscience, again, is only PARTIAL, he only knows the Aus he does because he can view the memories of their Papyruses, if an au were to not have a papyrus in ANY form (this does not count Aus with Papyruses that have died, or Papyruses that have existed before no longer existing) then he has no idea what they are about. He is also not able to see every point in every au as well, he is limited to the locations seen in the memories of other papyruses.

2. Even if he can make rifts and know atleast a small bit about every au with a papyrus, this does not mean he is EXTREMLY OP IN STRENGTH, it only means that he can travel through the Multiverse, as well as know where he is going.

Now then, for the real attack abilities.

Hate Manipulation: Papyrus can manipulate hate just like Sans can, using it to form constructs, create shields, create weapons, fire pure hatred as projectiles, etc. Just like Sans's, his bones are also made of pure hate.

Hate Boost: The amount of hate he has boosts his power as well just like with Sans. Making him much stronger than normal phantom papyrus, maybe even stronger than certain Papyruses in other Aus as well. This does not mean however that he is as strong as sans, he's still behind him in strength.

Advanced Soul Magic: Just like Sans, Papyrus can use almost every type of soul magic except for yellow soul magic and switch magic (Switch Magic is what Mad Mew Mew uses in her fight, that being spliting the soul in two), but that does not mean he has them perfected, just that he can use them.

Detatchment: This is...a strange ability to explain. Basically, when he became real again as a proper ghost, he was no longer attached to Sans. This doesn't mean much besides one key detail...
**Papyrus's life is no longer connected to Sans's**, Phantom Papyrus previously was able to be killed off with Sans still alive, but if Sans died, Papyrus would as well. This is no longer the case, if Sans dies, Papyrus will now continue to live.

Ghost Hijinks: Name was dumb but fun lol, basically, since he is a proper ghost now, physical attacks no longer harm papyrus, instead only magic attacks will damage him. This spells DISASTER for any opponent who is not magicly inclined, as their normal attacks won't even be able to damage Papyrus.

Bone Manipulation: Stanard stuff, Papyrus can use bones. His bones are pitch black and made of hate just like Sans's were. At the same time, Papyrus can use MULTIPLE attack types with his bones now, as well as use more elaborate and advanced bone attack patterns now. Papyrus can use bones that are Blue, Orange, or even Red (Attacks inspired by Undertale DDD, Red attacks were instant kills in DDD, but here they just do MASSIVE amounts of damage instead).

Beneficial Insatability: Unlike Sans, his form is only SLIGHTLY unstable, but at the same time he has much more control. Papyrus is able to phase through any surface he wants, and also negates any damage from "environment threats" such as lava, drowning in water, poison, etc. He's immune to most status effects as well.

Art belongs to my pal Blace the Cringe
Undertale and Sans belong to Toby Fox
Dusttale belongs to ask-dusttale or something.
Dustdust: Shadowy Echoes belongs to Jbones0514/JesterBones4150 (Joking about how that's me will never get old lmao)

Shoutouts to Carno again...I wonder if canon dustdust phantom papyrus also got the phantom treatment? Who knows, would be cool to have Papyrus like a weird gargoyle thing with wings n shit lol.
