Here is a design for Gaster during the War. As I already said, I pictured Gaster as a healer, even if he has a bone staff to defend himself. His armor is light and mostly leathery because he isn't on the frontline and either way, his fighting style is rather swift. He needs to be able to move fast and accurately.
It isn't visible on this picture but his boots have metallic bars on the inside, around his tibias. This is because he doesn't have a lot of offensive magic (he didn't have his Blasters back then!), so he learned close fight in case he needed it. (spoiler: he has!)

Mostly, Gaster (called Aster around this time) stayed behind and healed the wounded after the battle. Of course, he can use Green-Healing magic (I'm working on a headcanon chart about Souls and Magic in case you're interested) but his most prized ability resides in his Purple magic (again, the Soul and Magic chart will explain it way better ^^'). He has invented a new use of the Purple magic to heal directly the wounded Soul. Working the same as weaving or stitching, he uses a tiny sharp bone as a needle and stitches the soul AND the wound. This magic can save deep wounded when Green magic wouldn't be enough (or wouldn't work in time) but it tends to hurt during the weaving, since Aster needs to work fast!

Hmm.. I guess I should start to explain how I headcanon the Souls and Magic colors x)
In DTTale, I decided each character will have two main traits (mostly Monsters, actually, even if it works for Humans too). It helps building characters more balanced and credible. And by the way, I added 7 traits in between the main 7! That means 7 extra colors to work with ^^ (once I submit the Magic Chart, it'll be way clearer)

About DTTale!Gaster, he has this Soul profile:
Purple - Perseverance
Cerulean - Loyalty

His magical abilities are:
Purple : Trapping, Soul Weaving
Cerulean : Stand boost (DEF), Cold
Cyan : Stand Still, Short Time Manipulation (this helps a lot when he tries to save someone in critical condition!)
Blue : Telekinesis (mostly coupled with his hands summoning), Gravity (only later on in the War)
Violet : Summoning (during the War, only his magical hands, but later on, his Blasters)
Magenta : Karmic Retribution (only later on in the War)
Green : Healing

Alright, this are his abilities during the War, he gained more abilities as time passed, but during this time period, that's all. It may sounds a lot, but even before the War, Gaster has always been a magical genius!

Anyway, enjoy folks! <3
