Chara

**Chara** is a playable character in Smash Bros Lawl Beatdown, appearing as an Echo Fighter for Frisk.

## Character Description

Chara was the original fallen child of The Underground, being adopted by the Dreemurr Family and living a new life with the monsters. A very curious individual, Chara would often scare their step-brother Asriel and play somewhat cruel pranks on their family. Chara would eventually die due to an illness in a plan to free the monsters from the underground, and their plan would lead to Asriel being killed by humans. Chara's SOUL would live on in the underground, attaching itself to Frisk and, depending on the actions of the player, would massacre the inhabitants of the underground to punish the player. Chara also had an affinity for chocolate.

### Role in the Beatdown Lore

While not existing in the physical realm of Beatdown, Chara resides in The Upside-Down. According to them, they were brought to that realm by Darkiplier's malice towards Markiplier. As "The demon that comes when people call its name", Chara offered their services to Darkiplier, ready to assist him in his desire for vengeance. When PeanutButterGamer arrives at the mansion, his soul is not deemed a good vessel for Chara and Darkiplier, as he wakes in the Mansion backyard.

When a new soul makes their presence known in The Upside-Down, Chara comes to greet them. Chara meets Ellen, describing how they know that they're in pain due to "Viola's" betrayal. When Darkiplier comes out, Chara and Dark persuade Ellen to join them. With an experienced duo in hand, Darkiplier is ready to begin plans for vengeance. From the Upside-Down, Chara determines that Eduardo would be the best vessel to try and possess to actually reach out into the real world.

In BeatdownBound, much like in Undertale, Chara breaks the fourth wall and addresses the player directly. While thanking the player for the gift of chocolates, they explain the existence of The Upside-Down and some of the mechanics. They also explain that, despite the implication that they came alongside Frisk, that the Frisk in Beatdown is far too pure to be manipulated. They also clarify that they are not a bloodthirsty killer, and aim to show those who wish to kill "the extent of their perversions". Chara directly talks with Dark and Ellen for the player as well. Dark explains how Eduardo's drive for vengeance (in regards to being Numero Uno) is too familiar for him and Ellen, and Chara shows their obedience to their summoner. Chara speaks with Ellen about Dark's plan and how it doesn't matter what comes after his vengeance, and after consoling her about killing Viola as a priority, Ellen thanks them for being a friend. Chara also shows how the group influences Eduardo by implanting his insecurities into his head. They also mention how Mark is "insignificant" and how Jon is "not supposed to be here". They finish off by telling the player to think about what they've seen so far.

Chara, along with Dark and Ellen, would begin instilling actual commands to manipulate Eduardo with. As their first act of manipulation, they get him to purchase Damien's cane from the Fantasy Costco.

## Moveset

### Playstyle

Chara, the demon that comes when people call its name, only reveals themselves and takes control of Frisk when they show NO MERCY to their enemies. Like the end of a genocide route, Chara takes away Frisk's ability to ACT and specializes in the FIGHT playstyle- at the benefit of being a lot more aggressive with moves increasing in power at the cost of Frisk's decent mobility. Frisk players that find themselves sticking to the FIGHT playstyle will feel right at home with Chara.

Note; Moves in *italics* are not moves shared with Frisk.
