WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT GASTER

SPOILERS!!


He's somehow related to Sans' blasters.
He's probably a skeleton, as he speaks in a font (Wingdings).
He was the scientist before Alphys.
He got “killed” by being thrown in the Core.
He made the Core.
He was a genius.
He started the Determination experiments that eventually lead to the Amalgamates.

Here is my theory:

Gaster accidentally created Sans and Papyrus from bone fragments in his hands when trying to create clones of himself. Sans came from Gaster's right hand, his dominant one, while Papyrus came from his left. He cared for the two before slipping into the CORE, which, as it works between a mix of unstable magic and science, did the deed of spreading him ‘cross time and space, “like puzzle pieces in an infinitely large room”. Sans, Alphys, Undyne, Asgore, and the RiverPerson all remember him for their own reasons:

Alphys and Sans used to be with Gaster all the time, Alphys being the assistant at the time, Sans…well, he’s Gaster's kid. Papyrus doesn't remember because he was really young at the time of the incident.

Speaking of really young, Undyne used to get piano lessons from ol' Dr. G when she was six. He was an ameture mucisian, and lent her his piano for her to practice, where it resides to this day. She only remembers him faintly, being young at the time.

King Asgore is self explanitory, as he was most likely the one that appointed him.

The RiverPerson is a mystery in their own right, but I believe that they might have been either working with Dr. G, or been a close friend.

If I need to explain myself, feel free to ask me.

Well actually, Sans was the YOUNGER one, so if Sans could remember, Papyrus would be able to as well. I personally think Papyrus probably shoved the memory out of his mind, likely due to trauma. Or maybe it has something to do with the fact Sans can tell when you reset the timeline. Or, perhaps, being Gaster's child is why he can tell. Either way, Papyrus was the older one, so being super young does not factor into his memory, wouldn't you agree?

What makes you think Papyrus is the older one? It's been stated by Toby Fox that Papyrus would call his brother something if there was ever a Japanese translation. I don't remember exactly what the word was, but I DO remember that it meant “elder brother”. Plus, Sans is much more mature than Papyrus, even if he's extremely lazy.

The word was “aniki.”

How do we know that Gaster is the man with cracks in his head? His file name is MysteryMan.

Edit: That's a theory of it's own.

So we're talking about W.D.Gaster theories here eh? Sounds fantastic! He's a very mysterious character, and in my opinion deserves a bit more attention. And this forumms a good place to open discussion! Anyways, on to actually theorizing.

It's pretty much accepted in the fanbase that gaster used to be a skeleton due to his name being derived from the Fonts, “WingDings” and “Aster”. Making His Full name Wingdings, Aster. Maybe he chose Gaster as a nickname of sorts because of this? That wasn't really much of a theory but I thought it was a fun little thought. :3

i just want to say if you pay attention to the official gaster tarot card,in the corners you see a BONE that sans and paps use,a gaster blaster and lastly 2 hands,also the gaster card has him opening a door thats cracking and he is in the core..but something VERY intresting is that well,..the door is infront of the DT EXTRACTION MACHINE!its hard to notice buts its there!

What tarot card? I haven't seen one of W.D.
(also, if his name is W.D. Gaster, then Gaster is probably his last name, so IF he created the skelebros (not confirmed), then their last names are Gaster.)
EDIT: Wait, I saw it, that basically confirms that mysteryman is W.D. Gaster.

I'm gonna laugh if Toby Fox tricks all of you into thinking that the mysteryman is Gaster, when he'll make it so that the mysteryman isn't Gaster.

It's never confirmed in-game that he was thrown into the CORE.
Alphys is the one that started the Determination experiments and is the creator of the Amalgamates.

I kinda have my own theory about WD Gaster I don't think he is realated to pap's and sans. But i think he know's them and that sans and pap's worked for him. They also were involved in Gaster's determination experiments pap's was the 1st one to be experimented on. But sadsly the experiment failed aand caused pap's to loseall his knowledge on timelines. Sans also went through the same experiment as Gaster was building the core, but Sans accidently pushed off Gaster causing him to fall into the core which wipped him away from existence then sans searched for paps then he finally found pap's in waterfall. They stayed there for a bit then moved on to snowdin. And that is what i think is what happened.

You know, that's not a bad theory!

thx!

yes, but there is a theory that undertale is a continuation of one of his earlier works earthbound Halloween hack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYdDUXyFocY

what if gaster is a metaphor…since you get him by completing the genocide run maybe, just maybe, you feeling guilty for your sins “you felt your sins crawling on your back”

I just think that Gaster could do anything for when he was a royal scientist and the way he “fell” is that he was testing the core and lets just say he accidentally threw one of his most prized object and he felt it was a good idea to go after it thus splitting him and his valuable through the multiple dimensions and the object wasn't just one or two things it was everything you see inside Sans' secret room and by saying this it actually disproves Matpat's game theory on Sans being Ness from Earthbound (or Mother which ever you prefer) and maybe just maybe the secret Gaster's followers heard of the incident and wanted to commit suicide so they snuck in the hotlands lab and drop themselves right in and that's why they look weird.In conclusion, I have explained multiple things like how it wasn't an accident and Gaster's followers and San's secret room and how he isn't Ness.

I hope you all enjoy this theory!

Nice solid theory M8! Maybe he droped not only the stuff in sans room, but what is he also acidently droped sans too and was able to save him! That would explain Sans' knowledge of Resets and stuff
