I have a theory about Gaster's full story based off of what we know from Gasters followers. Here's my own interpretation of who Gaster was and what he became:

Gaster was a human scientist, studying the ideas of time and space. He believed that there are many universes that are connected together. He made a machine built to travle to dfferent timelines and worlds. Once he tested it, the machine broke and the poor man had his skin melted and became a skeleton. Not only that, but now he is trapped inside a timeline where people no longer recognize him. He was seen as a monster. As one of Gasters followers say:

"Have you ever thought about a world where everything is the same..... Except you don't exist?"

Gaster took refuge within the world of the monsters. There, he felt like he was right where he wanted to be. He continued his experiments in the Underground. There, he created the CORE. However, one day, one of his experiments went missing. It was a SOUL. The SOUL of DETERMINATION. While looking for it, Gaster accidentally fell into the CORE. His mind and body were split into several pieces. What remains of him, no one really knows. His last creations before his final death was two sentient skeletons named "Sans" and "Papyrus". They would continue on his legacy. Sans still kept the old machine Gaster had in his house. Frisk and Chara don't know who Gaster is, and so the photos of Gaster with people on the surface was seen as "Sans". The badge and the old blueprint Sans kept also belonged to Gaster, back when he was still human.

This is my interpretation of Gaster and his story. Let me know what you guys think.
