I have a theory that I would like to share with you concerning Sans's origins.

MatPat recently did a theorythat Sans is Ness from earthbound. I did not believe that Sans was actually Ness, but I did some theorizing concerning the Franklin Badge in Sans' drawer.

Now, these theories will contain lots of references to Toby Fox's Earthbound Halloween Hack, and Earthbound in general, so if you haven't played it yet, go do that, or at least understand the general story, and then come back here.

With that in mind, here are some mini-theories I came up with based around this idea:

Eagleland is in fact the surface world of Undertale. That much is obvious due to the geographical connections made by Matt and the Franklin Badge in the drawer.

Sans was not Ness, but was friends with Ness's friends (Remember, Ness was not present in the halloween hack)  and managed to go on adventures with them, as Sans reminded them of Ness. Sans took pictures with them, explaining the photo album of Sans with people you don't recognize. They got so close, they decided to entrust the franklin badge to Sans.

Sans was alive when monsters still lived in eagleland with the humans. The Monsters taught the Humans about what they call magic. The Humans call this PSI, However. Two names for the same thing. For example, Paula can use the PSI ability Starstorm, which causes lots of damage against enemies. The Animation for this ability looks very similar to Asriel's Star Blazing attack.

Anyways, Sans was alive on the surface. This explains why Papyrus does not know about the sun. Sans is clearly older than Papyrus. That's why Sans knows about the surface. Papyrus was not even alive before monsterkind got sealed in the Underworld.

This would also explain Sans's dialogue in his fight, as well as during the dinner date. The place he wants to "go back" to is back when monsters and humans lived in harmony. He knows that even if monsters do get to the surface, the two races would never get along the same.

Another thing this explains is why Humans sealed monsters in the Underground. The bad monsters kept attacking the humans, which is what you're fighting in earthbound. Eventually, Humanity decided to declare war on monsters, good and bad, because the bad ones would not stop attacking them. Varik, the main character in the Halloween Hack, eventually had a showdown with Asgore. Varik was the most likely candidate because he has a lot of people who think he is a hero, and he has experience with fighting monsters before. After all, he killed Dr. Andonuts, and the Doctor was incredibly powerful at the time. Also, I think the human fighting asgore looks similar to Varik from the Halloween hack.

This is all the theories I have so far. Let me know what you think.
