I would think of Ink as my role model...but not this Hollow perversion.-Solid!Template

Solid!Template is a version of Template, a swapped version of Error that had became a protector instead of a destroyer, but he is still an Error at his very core. He is the protector of his Alphaverse, and is the one to observe the events that transpire there.

Backstory:

Just like Error, Template was originally a version of a Geno, who was originally Sans from the alternate timeline of Aftertale. When Template was made, whole like Error, he had no recollection of who he was before becoming the way that he is, he went into the opposite path of Error. Instead of destroying the AUs, he would protect them, and is a big fan of Ink, due to constantly protecting AUs. So he had changed his appearance to resemble him a lot, with the only difference being his eyes which are locked with having a Diamond-shaped left eye, having a pen instead of a paintbrush, and requires glasses. He even recreated and transformed the Anti-Void that he is in, into what he calls the Art Zone, and modeled it in a similar manner to the Doodle Sphere, with floating glitched screen that act as paper, only except that they act as television screens, as it allows him to see what is happening inside of the AU that he is observing.

But during one of his revisits into an AU, he saw that it had been destroyed by his version of Ink, named Pale. As Template took the place of Ink, to become a protector, Pale took the place of Error in order to become a destroyer. But unlike Error, it is not because he sees AUs as glitches or anomalies or things that should not exist and all of that. No, it is mainly because of the fact that he wants to feel emotions. And this is where Template had given Pale his name, and while they decided to part ways without conflict, Template does vow that the next time that the both of them meet, they will be enemies, and makes sure to keep this vow.

During a trip to an AU, as he is running away from some AU denizens that accuse him for being an intruder, he had went into a conversation with an unknown voice, which was revealed to be an Error from a different Multiverse that somehow arrived here. To Error's mistake, he assumed that he would be similar to Ink, and that he can fight him and torture him and Template would simply spare him and get away with it. But this was a big mistake on Error's part, because as much of a protector that Template is, at his core, he is still an Error, and thus, when they battled, Template proved to be even more difficult to beat them Ink, and is even more ruthless compared to him, and even used some of the power that are the same as Error, such as his Template Blasters and Bones. And eventually, Template won, but Template shows that he is even more insane compared to Error, as he than tried to erase him with a power within his own. Error tried to apologize and promises to never see him again, but to not avail, and was about to hit him...but a mysterious force intervened, as Error was teleported out of the area, but not by his own power, but by someone stronger than him. And Template, thus, he assumed that he had been able to erase Error, and was happy, because he now has a purpose in making sure that all Error's gets erased from existence, so that the AUs can be saved, unaware and not caring of the consequences in doing this act. But Template does not care, as he than went to work in making sure that all Errors are eradicated.

But during his first job at doing this new duty, he had heard of a Sans resembling Error, and Template, assuming that it is in fact Error himself, decides to go and attack Error. When he went to Outertale, which was supposedly Error's location, and went to see who it is. And sure enough, someone was there, but not Error himself. No, instead, it was another Sans, one that he has never seen before in his life. He has blue teeth and blue eyes, though the left one is bigger, but line Error's he has markings underneath his sockets, although it looks a lot different, and he is much more taller, at the height of 6'1. When he questioned the entity, he revealed himself as 'Error404,' and the moment that Template heard that, he assumes that Error404 is related to Error, and Error404, it at least this one, while he admits that he is not related to Error, he does confirms that he is someone that he is connected with, as he sent that Error to his original Multiverse, back with his Error404, in which Error is his student. This made Template decide to try and kill him, so he attacked, due to his connection to Error. But this proved to be a big mistake on Template's part, as Error404 is on a whole other level compared to even Error himself. Error404, not using his full power, plays with Template for a little bit, as Template used all of his powers against him, and while he is admittedly easy, just like Error, Template was also a bit more tougher, due to his power over creativity, having similar powers to Ink, and even the Pen Charge attack was almost able to overpower a single Dark Blaster at full power, although it is still weaker than the Dark Blaster at full power. And in the end, despite Template's immense power, he is unable to withstand against the incomprehensible might of Error404. But Error404, impressed by Template, decided to spare him and leave.

They reunited again a month later, and this is when Template learns of Error404's goals. And it is that he wants to revive Alphatale, the first AU, which Template has never heard of before. Error404 reveals that he is not hear to destroy the AUs, but his other self from a different Multiverse allowed it, but only as a part of his deal. He than tells Template that he can give him more power in protecting the AUs, in exchange for becoming his student. Template thought about it for a little bit, before agreeing, on the condition that they only target the AUs with bad ending, so that the good ending AUs are left alone, and will help with the reconstruction of his AU with his powers. Error404 agreed with the deal, as he than took Template in as his student, just as the Error404 of the other Multiverse had done with his Error. And so, Template trained with Error404, and while he was a lot hesitant in some parts that involved embracing the nature of his other powers, after some reasoning, he began to utilize even his powers more, such as the Template Blasters, Red Bones, and even the strings, as he than uses them to much more creative ways.

But unfortunately, just like Error, Template had to get involved in some very disturbing stuff, ad the Alphaverse began to appear inside of Template's Multiverse, such as battling against Infected, meeting the Astral Mother, and discovering that Pale had joined forces with Alpha, Error404's brother, and the times that he had were difficult, due to the fact that they are on a level that Template could not expect, and it is only lucky that Error404 had trained him to prepare him for this large thing.  But even with all of the training, Template is getting overwhelmed by the immense powers that the Alphaverse has, due to the fact that he is not mentally prepared for something as immense as this. And everyday, Template is forced to mentally mature, to try and stop being dramatic and being the hero, even though Template does all that he can to hold onto those ideals, and while the relationship between Template and Error404 were rough, st the same time, they gained a relationship similar to that of father and son, except that relationship is much more closer than the relationship between the original Error404 and Error, due to Error being immensely stubborn, more so then Template. And since Template decided to try and repair and rebuild Alphatale, it took a lot of time and effort, but he began to rebuild the bindings and the mountain, although he cannot revive the people, and luckily, due to Error404's training, the holograms now become truly physical, as the holograms truly turn to stone, wood, leaves, and any of that sort of stuff. And as such, Template had been an even bigger help compared to Error. So, in a way, Template and Error404 bonded much more quicker than when compared to Error in where he trained with Error404.

And than, the incident that would change Template's life forever, happened. An Unnameable manage to somehow went out of the Book of Eyes and invaded the Multiverse. And the Out-Codes within the Multiverse were too powerless to stop it, and so, with Template and Error404 present, they needed up doing the same trick that Error and Error404 had done back then, in which Template and Error404 fused to transform into an entity that is strong enough to kill an Unnameable, and kill the Unnameable that they did. But unfortunately, just like the consequences of using this transformation, using it will not only take back the Code of the Multiverse, it will also kill one of the Components, and sure enough, Template had been the one to die from the aftermath of the transformation. And Error404, just like his original counterpart from the original Alphaverse, is forced to watch his apprentice, as well as the one that he saw as the closest to having a son, having died from this transformation.

But like Error, this would not be the end for Template. As the Unnameable made a biome and became a tree, Template, or at least, pieces of his code, had somehow been stored into the Unnameable, and inside of the tree, Template is sleeping on there, as his body is infused with the Unnameable, as well as another thing, as his soul is only that of Geno's, meaning that he has 1/9th of a Soul, the Unnameable began to use its power to fill in the rest of the soul with its own essence, as well as use the magic of its own soul. The purpose, is to try and control Template and use him as a vessel, but Template awoken at the right time, and was able to bust out of the tree, and was thankfully, spared from turning onto a vessel of the Unnameable. Unfortunately, the same cannot he said for Pale, who had became a vessel by taking its true soul, and thus, became the puppet of the Unnameable. But it is also where Template, now having became a Polothorn, gained the strength that he needed in order to protect the AU, while Pale gained the power that he needs in order to destroy an AU, and thus, while Template did get what he wanted, it is not in the way that he wanted it, and thus, Template is forced to live with this fact, as now, it is no longer about being a hero, for the time of heroes has passed...since that day.

Appearance:

Template retains all of his prominent features. His red eyesockets, his blue, yellow and white eyelights. His left eye is in a diamond shape with soft edges, with yellow being the outside of the diamond, blue being the inside, and black as his pupil. He wears a blue scarf and a hoodie around his waist, with a red and black shirt and black and blue pants. He usually wears glasses to be able to see, which have a red frame. He carries a black pen instead of a brush, with a ring around the tip of his pen which changes color randomly. He wears multicolored sneakers, which are yellow, blue, and black with red Velcro straps. Near the upper part of his pen(where the eraser would be, if it was a pencil) has a holographic blue ring around it which says "ERROR" on it. The markings on his face resemble an angle gauge. But there are differences between this Template and the original Template. Solid!Template's right eye is purple, just like Hollow!Ink, his jacket is now white instead of black, but still has yellow on it, and his right arm is covered all over in eyes that resemble his left eye. And unlike Error, Template does not even try to cover it up.

Personality:

Template's personality had changed a lot since he had trained as Error404's apprentice. Having gained a deeper understanding of the Multiverse, as well as himself, Template had became much more mature. He no longer acts dramatic, but still sticks firmly of being a hero and supports creativity. Having followed Error404's advice in that he can make the powers he rejected as his own in order to help others, he now no longer cares of what others people think, as he now accepts himself, not just as a counterpart of Error, but as a counterpart of the original Template, and thus, he is no longer emotionally unstable and insane, as well as having gained understanding of what would have happened if he had killed Error, she to now realizing the concept of balance.

Powers:

Strings: Template has many strings at his grasp, each being used for different purposes. And he has began to use them almost as frequently as Error himself.

Blue Strings: Template's first set of strings. These are used specifically for the purpose of draining data and code from Alternate Universes. From excessive training with Error404, he then discovered the ability to siphon data from entities with SOUL's, as well, allowing him to restrict mana, defence, health and energy.

Red Strings: These strings are boiling hot to the touch, infused with slight determination from Template's past as Geno. This will cause surging pain through humans and monsters alike, being a viable torture method. They do not cause actual damage, although they may end up with mental damage.

Green Strings: These strings are used in correlation with the blue strings, using extracted statistics to also infuse them into other entities. This is essentially a method of healing.

White Strings: These strings simply function as normal strings. Nothing else to them. Error commonly uses them to trap others up, alongside even doing the odd limb removal.

Illusory Strings: Strings that Template had discovered inevitably through hard work with Error404. These strings allow themselves to burrow into one's SOUL, gaining the ability to alter their perception, hearing and senses. They are commonly black in colour, although they turn into a rainbow colour once inflicting another's SOUL.

Template Blaster: Template can cast large, black blasters which fire red beams. These instantly shoot through anything, and are now a lot more stronger than ever before.

Pen: Just like Hollow!Ink's brush, Template has gained a new pen that worked like the original, but with some new features. It can now be messed with in multiple ways, allowing for him to change its weight and its length if needed while still being able to use it. And unlike the original Template's pen, it does not run out of battery.

Flight: With his new soul infused with his single soul shard, Template can fly.

Body Manipulation: With the new soul Template can change his body and do just about anything with it.

Unnamable Soul: Template's new soul is the hardest it's ever been and is unbreakable to most effects or most people.

Creativity: Template with the Unnamable soul allows him to be as creative as possible and even allow him to fight with his mind turning his holograms even something of the environment into whatever he needs or wants

Ungodly strength: Template's new soul allows him to overpower anyone, no doubt even the strongest amongst the Alphaverse crew would find him hard to pin down.

Consumption: Similar to another skeleton, Template can absorb and devour other Aus or individuals adding to his own strength.

Copy & Paste: Template can summon holographic
screens at any point in time which he can use to create any thing of object by drawing. The more time he spends on a creation, the more realistic it becomes. These creations have 3 different
stages: Holographic: slightly transparent, immaterial. Drafts: no color, with or without grid but not colored, touchable. Finished: colored, fully-realized, indistinguishable from real objects.

Hologram Bait: Template is able to create hologram statuses of himself in order to make someone think that it is him.

Hologram Blaster: Using Copy & Paste, he can create a Hologram Blaster to attack in the place of his Template Blaster, although the Hologram Blaster is mainly used for non-lethal force.

Glitch Ray: Essentially a Novice God Ray that Template named "Glitch Ray" to sound special, this works as you'd expect. However, unlike God Ray, this ray is a consistent beam instead of a simple fire. Far thinner, this ray does not have any effect on inorganic material. For organic material, this ray instantly corrupts their code, either possessing them to obey Error's every command, or simply decomposing their body until they essentially become a husk.

Pen Charge: Template is able to open the back of the Pen's tip in order to charge up an attack that had the power to erase anything. When he fired it, it is so powerful that it can erase even an Error Sans. And it is now powerful enough to erase someone as strong as Error404. But he cannot use it multiple times, or else the Pen will overheat, forcing him to stop using it so that it can cool down.

Eyes of The Observer: Template possesses a line of eyes over his right arm, that came from when the Unnameable infused its DNA into Template's when he was reforming inside of the tree.

Transformation:

TEMPLATION: The Templation is Template's being-like form, giving him near unlimited power for a short period of time less then 5 minutes but more than 2. The Templation is incredibly powerful and obliterates anything in its path, and can destroy about anything it wants, but the form is almost never in Template's control for this is truly Template at his worst, but he can control it more easily than the Inkmation.

Beam of Pure Erasure: The Templation's onky attack is it strongest, what can only be described as a fraction of the Unnamable's power, this attack is so strong it causes a singularity sucking in hundreds of Multiverses at a time into one point of non-existence to where they will never return.

Relationship:

Error404: Template and Error404 gained an even better relationship compared to the original Error and Error404, with Error404 even helping Template accept who he is and using his powers for good.

Righteous!Error: The version of Error he had tried to erase only to fail, he now protects the Multiverse from Hollow!Ink, but only to limit his power of consumption. Although he still despises Error, he now sees that he is much more heroic compared to him. Unbeknownst to Template, Righteous!Error is the version of Error that he had nearly erased back then, and Error is very weary and makes sure that he does not find out about this fact.

Sinful!Pale: The version of Pale that is now even more controlled by the Unnameable, he missed the original Pale and desires to free him, but does not know how to bring him back to normal.

Hollow!Ink: The person he once looked up to, now having became a vessel for the Unnameable, he sees his actions as inexcusable and disgusting, and now desires to stop him, but like Righteous!Error, desires to free him.

Conduit!Cell, a friend of Template, they both get along well, even with Template's newfound physiology. Of course, Cell still snarks about how he is simply just another Error, much to the annoyance of Template.

Note:

Template is as strong as Hollow!Ink, but had more abilities compared to him, while Pale is as strong as Righteous!Error, despite having less abilities compared to him.

Template, unlike Error, has a single blue tongue,
