Freezeframe

**Debut** | TBA

**Freezeframe** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Pieklasapien Dalinysapiensapien Niebasapiensapiensapien Drevysapiensapiensapiensapien from the planet Hierojsapien Rasolsapiensapien.

## Appearance

Freezeframe is an emaciated humanoid alien with pale brown skin covered in random pale blue, green, and purple splotches with an extremely elongated head consisting of a single wavy eye patterned with darker stripes, a pair of small nostrils resting on his forehead, and three rounded protrusions ending with a small mouth located on each side of his head. He has an uneven amount of digits, five fingers and four toes on his right side, eight fingers and two toes on his left side, and three toes on his back-facing third leg, with a bent tail-like appendage emerging from between his shoulder blades. He wears a misshapen black and red pair of shorts with grid-like straps across his chest and the thighs of his front-facing pair of legs. However, the accuracy of his actual appearance, including his profile image and its written description, may be dubious due to the nature of his powers.

Freezeframe wears the Simplicitrix sunken within his left big toe.

## Powers

* Freezeframe can completely shut down the brain of anyone that makes visual contact with him, as his abstract appearance is unfathomable to the fragile mind and rather than going insane in the futile effort to comprehend whatever he could be, it flips a biological switch that renders anyone who observes him completely immobile and no longer receptive to external stimuli. Stunned individuals cannot move or even moved, remaining in a rigid state as if they were a solid statue, and will automatically resume whatever they were doing the second their brain finally resets, the time of which it takes being entirely random, but forcing an automatic reflex, such as poking them in the eye, can sometimes speed up the process.
	+ Freezeframe's anomalous powers apply to any physical medium that has photographically captured him, such as a camera or photo, as long as they are undamaged and do not entirely obscure him to the viewer. Artistic renditions and mental images do not apply, especially with the latter not even existing upon someone snapping back to reality upon their brain erasing the split-second memory whenever they laid eyes on him, in addition to the fact they seamlessly continue actions, thoughts, and speech means they weren't even aware of the pause to begin with, and do not register any additional information during it.
* Freezeframe can scale up vertical walls with the aid of his multiple legs and tail-like limb.
* Freezeframe has enhanced agility, mobility, balance, and climbing.

## Weaknesses

* Despite the minimal danger it may actually propose, Freezeframe is still extremely dangerous for the fact he can disrupt the minds of anyone who even accidentally looks his way the second they process his appearance, leaving them unable to respond to risky situations let alone realize the mistake they made if they are fortunate enough to not be stuck immobile for a long amount of time.
* Freezeframe cannot immobilize those who are unable to look at him long enough to register what he was, such as briefly glimpsing a hand or foot passing around a corner, or through indirect enough means, such as just barely out of one's peripheral vision.
* Freezeframe speaks in incomprehensible garble that vaguely sounds like multiple voices talking over one another because of his multiple mouths, only decipherable through other members of his species or those capable of language manipulation.

## Etymology

* Freezeframe refers to a frame in a film repeated several times to give the illusion of being motionless.
* Freezeframe's species name is a play on "piekla daliny nieba drevy," the Belarusian translation of "hell valley sky trees."
* Freezeframe's planet name is a play on "hieroj rasol," the Belarusian translation of "hero brine."

## Trivia

* Freezeframe was drawn and made by Shark, with his design being uniquely made before his name and powers were decided, similar to Lost & Pound.
* Freezeframe's namesake and powers reference the Freezer, a popular urban legend from the video game *Saints Row 2*, in which after activating certain cheat codes that would allow the player to get out of bounds in a specific area, would enter a very glitchy area and inevitably be met with the sudden appearance of a shadowy silhouette that would crash their game, and in worse cases, corrupt their save file or physically damage their console.
	+ Freezeframe's etymology references other popular urban legends in video games, with his species name referencing the Hell Valley Sky Trees, a group of shadowed silhouettes seen within the skybox of a level in *Super Mario Galaxy 2*, and his planet name referencing Herobrine, the infamous *Minecraft* Creepypasta icon of a white-eyed Steve that causes strange phenomenon with world generation.
