Rayne made an unofficial @bonelyheartsclub Killer already, but since it's not canon yeeeeet I figured I'd make my own for now :3c
In Killer's comics, he eventually leaves Nightmare, teaming up with Color!Sans from Othertale (who... I should learn more about and design a fan BHC counterpart for as well) to fight the "Bad Sanses." Now they've settled in the BHC verse with his two cats. His new name is River.
River has dedicated his time on the surface to helping others. He works as a firefighter (unless one of the canon BHC boys has this profession already) and volunteers, especially with disaster relief and teaching community self-defense classes.
Although River hopes for a peaceful life, he's still struggling with PTSD and hypervigilance. He's the kind of person who clocks every entry/exit whenever he walks into a room, and prefers to have his back to a wall at all times so he can't be snuck up on. His choice of clothing tends to be heavy-duty enough for some protection in a fight in case the need arises, including thick canvas pants and combat boots. River still has a deep distrust, even hatred of Nightmare, and it's hard for him to truly believe that the days of violence are all in his past now. He's developed a bit of knife anxiety -- seeing or handling one won't send him into a full-blown panic attack, but he can get queasy from it at times.
To deal with all of this, River has a pretty strict meditation and exercise routine. He likes working out with Blue and the more active Papyri, as there's safety in numbers and he enjoys the energetic company. He went through a period of near asceticism due to guilt, abstaining from anything that was for pleasure or indulgence, but he's finally coming out of his shell a little more and letting himself enjoy life again, eating junk food, taking naps, etc. in moderation.
In relationships, I'll die on the hill of Rahaf's "he's a very romantic guy" joke. He can be over the top, but loves making his partner feel loved. 💖
From this list!
Quirk - Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship.
Kennyo's monk training has given him a number of skills that are useful in a relationship: being a good listener, staying calm, expressing gratitude (and the strength and flexibility don't hurt, either ;3). But perhaps the most quirky is his ability to raise his body temperature through sheer force of will. If his partner gets cold, especially on long winter nights, he can warm them right up through cuddling.
Romance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?
Kennyo takes any opportunity to write love poems and notes for his partner. Holidays, the changing of seasons, a patch of rain-watered flowers catching his eye -- any and all such things give him the excuse and inspiration to express his love in writing. For special occasions, he'll work painstakingly on the poem for weeks, maybe even months, to get it just right. But for the smaller everyday occurrences, the love notes are shorter and more whimsical, although no less sweet.
Kennyo also pays a lot of attention to atmosphere. Once he knows his lover's favorite colors, scents, flowers, or motifs, he'll make sure to incorporate such elements into their shared home, especially their bedroom, and/or he'll take his lover to places where those elements can be enjoyed. Similarly, Kennyo pays a lot of attention to his lover's mood, and he'll bring gifts or take his lover to a special place to accentuate what they're feeling. As much as possible, he wants his partner to be able to experience a beautiful world where they can freely feel joy, wonder, excitement, peace, comfort, or even cathartic sadness, and the right setting can go a long way towards facilitating those emotions.
Support - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?
Kennyo has the utmost faith in his partner and takes an active role to support them. He's a scholar at heart, so he'll learn everything he can about what they want to achieve, out of genuine interest as well love. He'll ask questions, help plan required steps, and regularly check in with his lover's progress. He'll also make sure they have access to any materials or connections necessary. Being a keen diplomat and the leader of the most widespread Buddhist sect in Japan comes with some benefits. If the goals are dangerous to pursue, his partner will unfortunately have to contend with Kennyo wanting to create as many safety measures as possible.
Ultimately, since his lover's happiness is what's most important to him, he is willing to respect the boundaries of someone who wants more independence in pursuing their interests -- though truly dangerous pursuits will probably need a bit of compromise around safety checks.

From this list! Instead of asks, I'm just doing the whole thing. :3
Equal - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?
Kennyo's goal and inclination is to be in harmony with his partner. If his lover is more passive and gets nervous about making decisions, he will take the lead, but gently seek for input to ensure they're still going in a direction that will make them happy. He'll try to build up their confidence to state their desires, too. He wants to be someone who makes his beloved feel safe and valued.
If his partner is someone who is very comfortable with going after what they want, then he's happy to follow, both in terms of physical intimacy and decision-making in general. However, Kennyo probably would be hurt and even frustrated if truly momentous decisions were made without talking to him. While he doesn't need to be dominant, he does want his voice to be trusted and valued, too.
Fight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?
Kennyo tends to forgive immediately. Everyone makes mistakes -- the Buddhas know he has made plenty -- and he cares much more about being at peace with his lover than about gratifying his ego. Fighting stresses Kennyo out, and he can hardly sleep or eat if his partner is mad at him. Even in arguments, he tries to stay calm and gentle, seeking a way to get back on the same page, and it's clear that being at odds weighs heavily on his heart. There are very, very few things over which he will raise his voice: if his beloved wants to throw themselves in danger, the pain and fear are too great for him to keep his calm in an extended argument; if they wanted to do something that would endanger other innocent people, the dissonance with his values would fray his composure. Again, though, Kennyo doesn't fight to dominate. His goal is always to bring himself and his partner back to a genuine, trusting place, and forgiveness from him is basically a given.
Gratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?
The core of Shin Buddhism is gratitude, so, except for when he's at his most pessimistic and depressed, Kennyo generally tries to keep a grateful heart. However, even when he's feeling bitter about the universe at large, he still notices and feels grateful for the ways in which people and animals show each other kindness. He will especially notice if it's his beloved, because there's no one else he would rather pay attention to, and he will be sure to express his gratitude both in words and in acts of service to repay their thoughtfulness towards him.

Something I forgot to post and then forgot I had!
Working on figuring out the Horror Papyri that go with the two different Horror Sanses I have...
Here they are... just a couple a’ silly bros...
[Working on my own design for the Swaps... As I’m sure is obvious, I have no idea what I’m doing asl;kdf;jlasdfl;jsa]
Bday art for @popatochisssp from a while back! Western au Jasper and Lum uwu
“I’m actually supposed to be on watch for humans right now, but uh... I don’t have the appetite. Now my brother, Papyrus--”
The way the original Sour Apple Studios Horror Sans emotes [top frames]... the way he EMOTES... it makes me kinda feral. I had to draw.
In my first version of the final image, I really exaggerated the expression. I decided to go back and make it match the mood of the original more, but I kept the close up of the 1st version just because it looks so unhinged lk;ajdsf;jlsadjlf [Edit: Reworked the second image to be closer, too, so I’ve uploaded the new lineup, but I’ve kept the original at the bottom along with the one for the 3rd image. :3 It was fun pushing the expressions, and I like how they turned out, even if they ended up too different and I felt the need to do them over.]
