so i think that gaster may be a  liche with necromancy powers lets gather the facts first though

-gaster fell into his creation and was forgotton by everyone

-no one remembers where sans and papyrus came from

-no one remembers gaster

-gaster created the core

-gaster was the royal scientist

-gaster had followers who were grey just like the amalgamates

-the amalgamates are the dead brought back with determination

now for what a liche is and necromancy does

-in myth's a liche is a monster that's magical power is so great it has control over its own death (ala its harder to kill)

-necromancy is similar but the way most people know it is thing like video games where you can cast a spell and now you have a skeleton fighting for you

now onto the actual theory

if gaster is a liche necromancer then alot starts to make sense he would have made sans and papyrus to judge humans (and possibly monsters who have commited a crime) and he would have made sans incredibly fast as to gather the souls quickly and painlessly (remember his first attack. think of that but you were just a lv 1 frisk strolling through the underground.)

the gaster followers are ressurected lab assistants or corpses of monsters that "fell down"

a liche is very hard to kill and and gaster fell into the core into straight up lava  no one would survive that none of the other monsters would, not even frisk (though save points)so his soul clinged onto his ashes and scacttered them across time and space, and because of this no one in game remembers him and no one remembers where sans and papyrus came from they just showed up one day and asserted themselves.

if anyone has anything to add or anything that'd be cool its 6 am and i need some sleep
