Slate!CORE

Slate is the distorted version of CORE!Frisk, by Dokudoki. They were born the same way CORE was, except their Reset was a bit less successful... Although Slate is their nickname, they still go by CORE in Distortionverse.

## Backstory

Their backstory is similar to the original CORE!Frisk’s, until Sans threw them into the CORE. Like Frisk, they attempted to Reset, but contrarily to what happened in the first timelines, this time the Reset backfired as they were already partially gone, and stole code from other unused, out-of-this-world elements to regenerate theirs. As such they’re now not just a Frisk, but a fusion of multiple beings that had left from the timeline, but not been erased. Just like CORE did, they reached a new, empty timeline they’d come to own. The Grey Timeline.

## Personality

They’re kind of a creep, but it’s especially due to their lack of affection. They tend to hide and spy on timelines, and take people to the Grey Timeline regardless of their consent, just to have some company. Those who do not consent are forced into the timeline, and must suffer Slate’s presence for as long as Slate wishes. However, they really value anyone they see as a friend (so pretty much anyone they ever spoke with), and will try to help and protect them in any way they could. They are also a surprisingly understanding person, and can listen to others. They tend to dislike any kind of violence, and rarely openly show their emotions, preferring to flash a neutral face. They often say random cryptic messages, more or less useful.

## Appearance

Their skin is completely white, with dark grey hair. They wear a light grey shirt with black stripes and white fur around the neck, dark grey shorts and completely black shoes. They also have a partially broken golden heart-locket around their neck, and a glowing red cross/scar on the upper right of their chest, where their human heart should be. They have empty eyesockets with familiar scars around them, and so is their mouth. Depending of circumstances, more or less black goo may drip from these orifices.

## The Grey Timeline

Contrarily to the Omega Timeline that is kind of a haven, the Grey Timeline served more as a Test Room before being abandoned. Instead of a completely white space, the timeline is as empty, but its color jumps and glitches from one shade of grey to others, similar to computer static. Staring at it for too long often causes headaches. While Slate has complete control over it, it does not work as harmoniously as the Omega Timeline, and cannot be accessed by doors, only specific portals and very rare time-space fractures. Slate tends to not leave anything in the Grey timeline when they’re not here, so it’s unknown whether or not something happens to in/outcode elements that remain in it for too long. However, it has been noticed that any colorful thing left in it will tend to lose its colors and convert to a black, white, and other shades of grey palette. In the specific case of a colorful substance like paint, the substance quickly disappears after losing its colors.

## Abilities

They possess the same abilities as CORE!Frisk, which includes :

* **Multiversal Omnipresence**
* **Multiversal Manifestation**
* **Multiversal Omni-Sight**
* **Void Eyes**
* **Void Body**

## Relationships

### DistortedHate!Chara (Enemy)

They once accidentally crossed paths. This was an unpleasant day for everyone implied.

## Trivia

* The goop that drips from their eyes and mouth has multiple interesting properties : 1. It will drip when they feel great emotions, the strongest the emotion is, the more goop. 2. As long as it’s still attached to their eyes or mouth, it’s kind of sticky, and hard to get off. However, once it’s disconnected, it won’t stick to anything anymore, kinda like mercury, and will quickly evaporate.
* They do not suffer from the same war trauma CORE!Frisk does, as they possess other memories, and have been able to forget this fear.
* Contrarily to CORE!Frisk that wouldn’t mind one of their bodies being destroyed, they get extremely hostile, and have high harmful potential when any form of physical violence is shown towards them.
* Their body does not contain muscles, bones or even blood. As such, it can be described as “very squishy”.
* Core will randomly state creepy or depressing bits of info despite not realizing what they are doing.
