SANS

Sans is a spirit guide/psychopomp angel who has taken being disconnected from heaven pretty hard. Outside of the context of defending and collecting souls as part of a greater purpose, it's harder and harder for him to withstand the emotional burden of dealing with dead and dying people, and a lot of the time he wonders what the point of it all is supposed to be. He also struggles a lot with the idea that he could potentially be helping to avoid these mortal's death, but both doesn't know if its his place to do so/doesn't want to take on the burden of action, and would rather just let things happen as they may.

Due to his listlessness and growing malaise, he's pretty shit about properly sticking to his duties, and spends a lot of time dicking around with mind altering substances and human media. He sort of half lives in Demon Psi's apartment despite not paying rent, and is basically just a terrible mooch. He also hangs out a lot in the local Cat Cafe, Crossroads, several local bars, and drops by the Sanctuary occasionally to share the Hot Goss with Helen.

The rest of his time he spends stalking people who are soon to die, which he can pick out with his angelic death vision. He doesn't know exactly how they'll die, though, so he mostly just follows the doomed around until it happens, so that he can guide their souls to the afterlife before they can become lost/get eaten by a demon or something. This also means that he's just sort of inherently a dick to vampires and zombies, and generally speaking he won't hesitate to tell them that they should really just let him take their souls to the afterlife instead of letting them become corrupted by dark magics/bloodblust.

He's got a softspot for undead that were killed before their time however, and will often end up shirking his proper angel duties to try to give them a break - choosing to keep an eye on them to make sure they don't become a nuisance rather than taking the more truly angelic path of just smiting them and escorting their souls with or without permission. He's not a warrior and thus not built primarily for combat, but he can still be pretty deadly with a combination of speed and cleverness.

His angelic form is basically his usual skeleton self but with wings made of light and more eyes that necessary. He's got eyes in his ribcage for fuck's sake. He doesn't teleport, but he can move extremely quickly by wing, and can also turn invisible/intangible.
