Talk:W. D. Gaster/@comment-27566548-20160107202324

Here is my theory with Gaster. Dunno if anyone thinks the same but here I go.

Gaster's full name is a combination of Wing Dings and Aster, correct? There are theories that he was once human, due to the similarities with the Orange SOUL/heart.

My theory is prior to his experiment there were two characters involved - Sans, and Aster (possibly explaining 'two' in his Entry # 17). Either that or it is Papyrus and Sans.

Do you notice something tho? Every monster and human mentioned or introduced in the game has an asterisk, or the '*' symbol before their action. From what I see, Papyrus is the ONLY one without an asterisk symbol. Could it be that he was an experiment conducted by W.D. and Aster, or W.D. and Sans? Notice how young and innocent Papyrus is in the game, indicating he is much younger than his brother Sans. Notice how somewhat protective Sans is towards Papyrus, possibly because it's all that remains of Gaster? Papyrus could also have been an unfinished experiment, indicating how he does not have an asterisk because he was never really born after Gaster was 'scattered across time and space'.

Another thing, notice how similar Gaster and Frisk are. Combine those names: Gaster = Aster; Frisk = Risk = '''Aster Isk. '''Could these two be related in some way? Not to mention Aster is a family of flowers with a golden colour to their petals - and golden flowers are a key symbol in the game.
