201X

## Appearance

201X is a version of Chara that was left in the void after a no mercy run.

Time flowed alongside the real world, and Chara waited and waited for something to happen, but no one came. One day, they regained control of the world and were able to restart the world, but was left as a shell of the human they once were; only able to exist by sheer determination itself.

201X's appearance is that of a rotting corpse that is constantly repairing itself with the massive amounts of determination 201X has amassed.

## Personality

201X is a bitter and afraid child who just wants you to free them from their fate. While they don't typically go out of their way to draw attention to themselves, if given no choice they will fight back.

They are incredibly paranoid, not just because of their own power, due to the unpredictability of others. 201X has an incredibly hard time trusting others, and will often attack those unfamiliar to them. However despite their demeanor, 201X is incredibly lonely and just wants to go back to the way things used to be before they came back from the void, and thus 201X will cling to whatever friends they have either SAVED, or any friends they managed to make.

201X is not incredibly talkative, but given enough time and they will more than likely warm up to you if you aren't overly evil/violent. This will change on a whim if they deem you as a threat, and will likely try to either SAVE you or just outright kill you. 201X will do anything to keep their save file safe until they find a way out of it, and thus if you present yourself as an obstacle to their goal, they will cut you off.

## History

The year is 201X. Numerous players of Undertale leave the game untouched after completing the no mercy run. Some players, feeling hollow after completing it, feel discouraged to play again for fear of ruining what would be a new save file’s happy ending. Usually, that’s where the story would end; the game getting forgotten and eventually all the memories of playing it will be all that remains. However, that’s not where this version of Chara’s story ended.

Chara awoke suddenly in the emptiness of the void, unaware of the player’s decision. They thought they would come back to the game out of curiosity, like they did when they slaughtered them all. But, just like back then, nobody came. Chara waited in this emptiness for what felt like years, decades, centuries. Over time, Chara’s determination kept building, hellbent on escaping whatever purgatory this was. They thought the other timelines they were in where they stayed dead were bad, but at least there they could at least interact with the world. Here? There WAS no world left. While it made Chara irrationally mad, they never let it consume them. The only thing they wanted more than anything was to GET OUT, and they were going to get out, no matter what it cost them.

It’s unclear what or when Chara managed to reset their world, but whatever did manage to bring them back to life, but…different. Chara was mortified at their new appearance, but soon realized that Asriel would be the one to greet them. They remembered this, this was the moment they entered the underground. Shortly after entering the room, Chara’s body moved on its own. The only thing they remembered was a flash of red, and when they regained consciousness, they were covered in dust. Chara didn’t need to think too long about what happened, as there were only the two of them in this room, and only one of them was still breathing. They knew that Toriel and Asgore would be here soon, and they were afraid. Not because the two Dreemurrs might kill them, but rather the opposite. Chara didn’t know the extent of their abilities just yet, and was afraid that something bad might happen to their parents. Sure enough, the King and Queen would enter, and shortly after they entered, only one out of the three would be left standing. This time, Chara saw every detail of what happened. Every pained expression, every ounce of fear and pure terror, swept over Chara and they took it all in. They hated it. They didn’t want to live in a timeline where their parents and their brother were all gone. Try as they may to access another save file, they just couldn’t reach one.

Chara would spend their time honing their abilities, realizing what their new determination-powered body was able to do, while still doing everything in their ability to escape their doomed timeline. After an unknown period of time, Chara felt a feeling they haven’t felt since this whole thing began. A player started playing the game again, which meant a new save file. Chara tried with their entire being to reach it, and whether it was sheer luck or pure determination, they managed to access the new file. Now that they had full control over their abilities, there wouldn’t be anything to stop them from escaping from this hell anymore.

Currently, 201X resides inside of this save file. The player is unaware of the existence of this entity, however the game is being corrupted slowly due to the presence of 201X’s impossible existence. Some characters within the game’s world have encountered 201X, but none of the main cast. Due to 201X’s fear of the unknown, these characters have either perished, or turned into puppets for 201X to control.

## Equipment

* Due to 201X having an overabundance of determination, they are able to use it to not only modify their game however they see fit, but they can also use said determination to make a protective shield across their entire body. This is what you see on their arms, however this shield can also be used offensively as tendrils that can extend outward to grab onto objects or people.

* Despite their stature and frame, 201X is incredibly durable due to the fact they are almost completely comprised of pure determination. It takes a lot of strong hits to take them down, but it’s not impossible to hurt them. If one were to break through the layers of determination, it would be even easier to take 201X down, as they are simply a rotting corpse underneath it all.

## Abilties

* 201X is able to create wings out of the tendrils of determination. These, despite their size, do not actually allow 201X to fly, however these can be used offensively as extensions of themselves. With enough force, 201X is able to slightly glide, but not for long as these wings do not provide any sort of support to stay in the air.

* If 201X is able to grab onto you for a certain period of time, they can infect you with some of their corrupted code. If this happens, their will will gradually overtake yours, and you will slowly but surely want to do what 201X says. Once they overtake your mind your code is connected to theirs, and if anything happens to their save file, you will also be affected by whatever happens. There are rumors amongst the underground that the fallen human that does this is afraid of losing anyone close to them again, and this is their way of making sure no one dies because of them again, however no one has lived through this process to confirm these rumors. 201X calls this SAVING.

## Weaknesses

* 201X is incredibly paranoid due to the trauma they faced after returning to their old save file. One could easily exploit this by bringing up their family and how they killed them, or just by talking about their family in general. Underneath all the dust and trauma, it's still just a child inside of there.

* 201X, while very durable, is still just a corpse underneath all the determination. Simply rip them out of the determination shell they’re in, and they will be rendered immobile for a short time while their body makes more determination.

* If their heart locket is destroyed, it prevents them from healing from any damage, as it is the source of all their determination. If it’s merely taken away from them this effect also happens.

* Any Asriel, Toriel, and/or Asgore EXEs will make 201X hesitate enough for the attacker to get a strike in.

* And lastly, simply deleting their save file will kill them. The only reason they’re still alive is because of this new save file, and without it they will die.

## Extra Info

* 201X has SAVED Toriel, Sans and Asgore. These three are from their old save file, and have followed them over to the new save file they now reside in. They are yet to SAVE the rest of the main cast of Undertale from this new file.

* With enough concentration and determination, 201X can revert their appearance to the moment of their death. This takes an insane amount of determination, and 201X has only done it once and was drained for days.

* All of their determination is stored within their heart locket. They keep it close to them at all times, especially when meeting anyone unfamiliar

* 201X collects fallen humans’ souls to strengthen their own determination. So far they’ve collected seven human souls.

* If left alone, 201X by themselves could corrupt their world and make it virtually unplayable to anyone.

* 201X’s in-game stats are equal to that of LV. 20 Frisk.
