Frisk

*"Whatever the consequences are... For what I'm going to do... I'll take it."*
―Frisk[src]
**Frisk** was the eighth human to have fallen into the Underground, whose amount of Determination granted him the ability to manipulate the timeline using SAVE. Throughout his first journey through the kingdom of monsters, Frisk, partnered with the ghostly Chara, befriended the enemies they faced, and whenever Frisk was killed, he could return using a SAVE Point. After completing Neutral Routes, Frisk went on the True Pacifist Route, saving Asriel Dreemurr and earning a happy ending for himself and monsters by freeing them from the Underground, but with the ability to reset the timeline, Frisk relived the Route plenty of times. When he was bored of his repeats, Frisk decided to experiment with different decisions and actions in the timeline after every reset.

When attempting the Genocide Route, HATE manifested inside Frisk's SOUL, and because he could not comprehend it, he infused it into Chara, unintentionally brainwashing him. After being killed by Sans multiple times, Frisk recompensed for his actions by allowing Sans to reset the timeline during the Battle at the Last Corridor, which resulted in glitches across space time. Another Reset allowed Chara to be resurrected and steal Frisk's determination, so he, Sans, Flowey and W. D. Gaster fought against the megalomaniac. After aiding Asriel in liberating Chara from HATE's control, the Barrier was destroyed and monsters moved to the Surface, and the fact that this ending included the rescues of Asriel and Gaster pleased Frisk. He then faked a promise to Sans by destroying the Reset button, which disabled his power to SAVE and expanded the timeline.

While trying to persuade the Anti-Monsters Department to make peace, Frisk encountered Bête Noire, who posed as an ally at first until she murdered Sans, who realized Frisk tried to break his promise. He, Asriel and Gaster set out to battle against Bête and her Kumulings, and eventually, Frisk believed that he had to be ruthless as he was in his attempted Genocide Route in order to win a battle he doubted he would be successful in. After Asriel was killed, Frisk's determination strengthened and highly increased his LV, and despite his initial beliefs, he learned from Papyrus that to counter HATE, who was Bête's power source, they needed love. Understanding that he was glitching away and that it would erase the timeline, Frisk traveled to the Void to meet Chara, and made a one-sided deal with him. Much to Chara's horror, Frisk replaced himself in his home dimension with Chara, erasing everyone's memories of Frisk and also his own existence.

## Biography

### Journey Through the Underground

#### First Neutral Route

*"Yeah... I never was very good at decision making"*
―Frisk to Chara[src]
Frisk did not exactly have a life before he climbed Mount Ebott at the age of thirteen. During his climb, he fell into a pit and landed on a pile of Golden Flowers in the Underground. At that moment, Chara, as a ghost, became Frisk's partner for his journey who was often brazen and enjoyed insulting Frisk every few seconds. At the entrance of the Ruins, Frisk encountered an innocent-looking flower named Flowey, who greeted him with southern slang. Wanting to seemingly teach Frisk the nature of the Monster Kingdom, Flowey started an Encounter and revealed Frisk's human SOUL in the Bullet Board. He claimed that he could get stronger by gaining a lot of LV, which stood for LOVE. After having Frisk's HP depleted from twenty to one, Flowey revealed his true malevolent and cruel colors, attempting to kill Frisk, but Toriel, the caretaker of the Ruins, rescued Frisk.

He was then guided through the first few areas of the Ruins by the caring Toriel, and when he was left alone, Frisk and Chara made their way through. Frisk faced a few inhabitants who intended to attack him, such as Whimsun and Loox, but Frisk chose ACT and MERCY during these encounters, befriending his enemies.

Not much was known about **Frisk's** life before he climbed Mount Ebott. However, it was revealed that he didn't have a life beforehand. after discovering the Underground, according to Camila and Love Part 1. He had been seen in every single ending and every dialogue that could be offered. Eventually, he activated hard mode and decided to do a Genocide Route out of boredom.

### Megalomaniac

At the beginning of the episode, Frisk, who had almost completed the Genocide Route, encounters Sans in the judgment hall. Here, Frisk attempts to kill him many times, but he fails, leading Sans to kill him until he lost count. Eventually he begins to feel remorse for his actions and tries to RESET, however, Chara stops him and traps them in HATE prison.

Chara then enters the judgment hall and challenges Sans. He fights and avoids all of Sans's attacks. Sans is shown to be gradually getting more tired, until he runs out of stamina completely. Chara looms over him, ready to deliver the final blow, but Frisk summons up his Determination and smashes the Hate, blocking him from the fight. He jumps in front of the attack, sacrificing himself for Sans' life. Frisk, as his final words before dying, tells Sans he's sorry, to take his soul and fix his mistakes before finally dying.

Sans then snatches his soul before Chara does, drastically increasing his power and giving him control over the timeline. He then "dunks" Chara and presses the RESET button.

### Yet Darker

Frisk meets Sans at his Waterfall Sentry Station and decides to take them to Grillby's via a "shortcut".

However, Frisk somehow ends up in the Waterfall Hallway and nervously enters the Grey Room. But he finds Gaster, calls his soul "special", and says that it could help him be whole again. Gaster proceeds to attack Frisk, but Frisk evades these attacks only to find the door has been blocked.

But to Frisk's luck and relief, Sans soon appears, and Sans blasts the door, escaping with Frisk. However, Gaster partly materializes after coming out of the room, and recovering some power in the process. Sans, who knows that he can't defeat him, tells **Frisk** to give him his soul, but before **Frisk** could, Gaster attacks Sans and attempts to take **Frisk's** soul. It refuses, and shoots straight for Sans, healing him and giving him an edge in the fight. Sans dominates Gaster, destroying his hands one by one, until Gaster is left exhausted and drained. He attempts to stab Sans in a sneaky last-ditch effort, but Sans is faster, and subsequently kills him.

### \*Determination.

Frisk met Sans at his Hotland Hot Dog Stand to discuss the glitches, telling Frisk to watch out for anything odd since they had RESET in places "they weren't supposed to", glitching the game.

As soon as he leaves, he noticed that the door to Alphys' Lab had been blasted open. Frisk walked into the lab and then entered the True Lab. As he walked along the path, he stepped on the dust of the deceased Amalgamates. But unfortunately, he failed to notice that Chara was spying on them from behind.

When Frisk arrives at the Determination extractor, Chara confronts them. He goes on a monologue, about the glitches and how you only need Determination to exist. Chara states that he consumed the Determination of the amalgamates, and they had a lot of it, even enough to match his. As he is talking, Frisk tries to RESET, but Chara blocks the button, displaying his immense Determination, and uses HATE to throw Frisk into a Determination extractor.

As they are doing this, Flowey appears at the elevator, wondering why Frisk is taking so long. He looks over and sees Chara throwing Frisk into the Determination extractor. He has a flashback of a genocide route, and where Chara killed them. He knows what is at stake, and goes away to find help. He goes to Sans and informs him on the situation. Both know exactly what they are dealing with, and form an unlikely alliance.

Once Sans and Flowey arrive, Chara creates a shield of HATE around the extractor and fights them. After a fierce battle, Frisk's Determination is removed from his soul after being shoved into the determination extractor, and the barrier around the extractor vanishes. Sans teleports to the extractor to retrieve the Determination, however he is blocked by a Determination barrier courtesy of Chara. He teleports away seconds before it explodes, leaving the Determination free for Chara. However before he can take it, Flowey pulls away one of his arms, and Chara grasps for the Determination, only to slide out of range. Sans teleports to the Determination to grab it, but at the last second Chara cuts off one of their arms, and takes the Determination. Sans and Flowey take away an unconscious Frisk while Chara saves his file, with one word on it; Determination.

### Your Best Friend

The episode starts off with an awoken Frisk, noticing his soul has been drained. Sans and Flowey briefly explain the situation, while Sans is working on a machine. He implies that it is to help Gaster return, but doesn't say it directly.

     Sans soon asks Gaster to take him, Flowey, and Frisk to the secret chamber that holds the six human souls in his designated pods. Sans then hands the souls over to Flowey to make Flowey transform into Omega Flowey.

Upon hearing the commotion, Chara encountered them with pure confidence, proclaiming it was obvious what he'd do. He then engages in battle with Sans, Omega Flowey, and Gaster, while Frisk is protected by a shield.

At one point, Chara uses a patience rope and uses it to tear off one of Omega Flowey's arms. Sans, Gaster, and Frisk all seem horrified by this, yet Chara doesn't stop here, and then attempts to kill him again, only to luckily be saved by Sans.

Soon, Gaster puts down the shield to attack Chara, who attempts to kill Frisk. Sans tried to sacrifice himself to save them, but Gaster takes the blow instead, resulting in the loss of a large portion of his HP.

This enrages Sans, who in a fury, uses his real special attack, causing him to create countless Gaster blasters at Chara, who tries to use a shield to protect himself but fails to stop the attack.

The sound of a SOUL snapping in half is then played.

Everyone seems relieved at first. But then, a red beam charges at Omega Flowey from the smoke cloud, Sans sees this and manages to save Omega Flowey with telekinesis, but falls exhausted from overexertion. Chara moves forward to secure the kill.

Chara creates a massive dome of HATE, and hurls it at Omega Flowey. Flowey uses his special attack, combining the power of the 6 human souls into one massive beam, but it drains all his magic and soul power.

Frisk, upon seeing that Chara was about to finish off Flowey, regains his Determination to create a red shield to block the attack, and uses "A Little Help." he then gives Flowey his soul along with the other 6 in the process to transform Flowey into Asriel.

### Continue

A few scenes into the episode, Chara tells Asriel about Frisk's true personality, and the fact that he started the genocide route on his own, so it is all his fault the timelines are glitching. He then creates the ERASE button and tells Asriel to press it, or else Frisk would use his friends as toys forever. However, Asriel, who believes that Frisk deserves a second chance, destroys the ERASE button.

This quickly marks the beginning of a battle against Chara and Asriel, but during the battle, Asriel told Frisk that he can't fight Chara. However, he knows how to make them change his mind. He attacks them with the traits of the souls he absorbed, including Frisk's determination.

Asriel manages to get rid of the HATE inside Chara, snapping Chara out of her hate-filled mindset. As his last will, Chara uses what was left of his soul to turn it into a trait vessel for Asriel.

And, after all, was said and done, Asriel breaks the barrier.

On the surface, Sans confronts Frisk and asks them when he is going to reset. He promises him that he won't reset, but Sans asks them to be honest. Frisk then brings up his save file and smashes the reset button. He then pressed Continue, indicating he will never RESET again, which was a lie right from the start.

### My Sunshine

Frisk decides to go meet up with Jessica Grey, the director of the Anti Monster Department (AMD), in an attempt to convince her to sign a peace treaty that will stop all conflict between humans and monsters. He encounters Bete, a seemingly innocent young girl whom he saves from being run over by a car, and allows her to accompany them for the day.

When he reaches the A.M.D, Frisk asks Jessica Grey for one last chance to show her that monsters are just as deserving of peace as humans are. Albeit hesitantly, she agrees, and Frisk takes them to W.D. Gaster's laboratory. There, Jessica is informed about Gaster's project on the Core's expansion and how helpful it would be to both humans and monsters. Here he elaborates on how the Core turns heat into magical energy meaning there will never be electricity bills ever again, but that the project will only be allowed to develop should she sign the peace contract.

Frisk then takes them over to the school where Toriel works as a teacher, to show Jessica how human children are being helped to understand and use his magic. After Toriel shows her the trait of one of the children, she suddenly leaves before Frisk can have a chance to stop her.

    He goes looking for her and meets up with Sans and Asriel, and after Frisk introduces them to Bete, he finds out that her soul is a color never heard before: pink. Sans goes to Gaster's lab to help him discover this new trait, and Frisk shows up after hearing that Sans and Asriel had talked things out. He gives Sans a bracelet to remind him about the "promise" he had made, which was to never reset again.

The following day, Frisk meets up with Jessica at the HSO Department, where the conference would be held, and the peace contract between humans and monsters is signed. Frisk hears Jessica's story about how her daughter ran away from home without ever returning, and that the reason why Jessica had suddenly left the school was that Toriel's interaction with the child had reminded her of her daughter. She agrees to sign the contract, saying that her daughter would have wanted peace between humans and monsters.

During the conference, Asgore is questioned about how the barrier was broken, he confesses about the human souls, and the last one he killed turns out to have belonged to Jessica's daughter. Frisk watches Jessica as she calls him a murderer and then storms out, tears streaming down her face, leaving all hope of peace between humans and monsters behind.

### Dust

When Dust begins, Frisk tells the audience that things have gotten tenser between humanity and monster-kind, with the worst of all, that Asgore was arrested.

Frisk soon arrives at Gaster's house, and he asks him if he found any info about Bete's unique soul, but sadly, he failed to find anything. Gaster warns Frisk to be careful he is with a monster because the AMD's cameras were suddenly more active. Upon mentioning Mettaton's first live performance, Frisk allowed Bete to come with them.

Frisk and Bete soon go get Sans, Papyrus, and Asriel and he all go see Mettaton together. At the performance, he experiences Papyrus accidentally drop slabs of concrete on the area, and Sans temporarily losing his powers with a nullifier gun Jessica used.

Later, Sans called Frisk over to come and talk to him, Bete, Asriel, where he is forced to tell him that he was trying to RESET, his intentions right from the start. As a result, Sans got so angry that he called out Frisk for being selfish, getting his hopes high, and that he would've hurt them if it wasn't for Asriel, who stopped him.

     Sans was still angry with Frisk, and he threw the bracelet that was given to him onto the ground before he left. After this violent ordeal, Frisk wasn't seen throughout the rest of the episode.

### Do or Die

At the start, Frisk was seen practicing apologizing to Sans, while he was still hoping to find a way to RESET, when Asriel arrived and he told him about Bete's actual goals and Sans being killed by her. This scared, shocked, and saddened them so much that he lost most of his Determination.

Soon, Frisk and Asriel go to see Alphys and Gaster, where Gaster encouraged them, causing them to be filled with Determination.

Soon, a pink creature appeared and it attacked Frisk, he attacked it but due to not hitting it hard enough, he couldn't defeat it. Then Gaster told them that he was not hitting it **strong** enough. He then summoned a hand and powered it up to fire at the creature, then it tried to stop him by transforming into "Sans", surprising Frisk. However, Gaster just killed it anyways without remorse, then Frisk went inside and told Asriel that he needed to go to the city in order to protect people from the creatures.

Later in the episode, Frisk arrived at Toriel's school to help fight back against Bete's pink creatures. He soon finds Cam, Abigail, and Robin Cam distressingly asks them to help them find his younger sister Lily. Frisk agreed to do so but was not seen throughout the rest of the episode.

### Love Part 1

He first appeared in Toriel's school alongside Abigail. Frisk told her to go to "the shelter" and Asriel told them to help him try to save any more children or to fight off many more creatures. However, Frisk told them that the creatures retreated and that he was too late.

Later in the episode, Frisk told Jessica to come with them because he had something to give her. Frisk then gave her a box, Jessica then has a flashback of her daughter opening her gift, and in it is a tutu and ballet shoes. Jessica opens the box, and inside was her daughter's old tutu and ballet shoes. She then thanked them and said that he was a nice and kind child. However, Frisk denies this and says he can't afford to be one anymore.

Later, Frisk requested to talk with Asriel in the backyard, where he reveals that he was trying to find a way to reset since he broke the RESET button, admitting that his promise to Sans was a lie.

    He elaborated that he knew the timeline was glitched and that he's going to set off to fight Bete alone, ignoring the requests of Asriel to stay home and prepare first. He finally says that Flowey wasn't as much of a coward as Asriel, emotionally harming him to the point it raised his LV to 2.

### Love Part 2

At night, Frisk was thinking about the previous battles he had in the Underground, and how he was killed so many times. Bete then popped up and Amber appeared for a split second (before Frisk's soul shattered.) Since he can't use his SAVE file anymore the battle was all or nothing.

The next day, after getting dressed, Frisk attempted to leave the house. In fear of his safety, Toriel told them to stop. But, in order for her to leave them alone, Frisk cut her hand and told her that he was not her child, and she is "sure as hell" not his mother. This act causes his LV to rise to 3.

Frisk goes to fight with Bete, and at the beginning of the fight, Frisk was smacked against the wall. Bete attempted to finish them but he avoided the attack. A bit later in the fight, Bete managed to sap a lot of his Determination with hallucinations of memories from the Genocide Run.

Frisk would've died if it wasn't for Asriel, who stepped in and was whose soul was quickly stolen by Bete. After he was forced to watch his friend's "death". Frisk's LV increased to 19 along with his power. Bete quickly became overwhelmed with Frisk's sudden increase in power. Bete decided to "ask for a little HELP" after realizing he couldn't keep abusing the power of HATE.

Bete then uses HATE on Sans' soul to revive him (which was still being fed off by Akumu) with HATE.

He was then commanded to battle Frisk and was easily winning. Before he could kill them, Papyrus intervenes, saving Frisk. Frisk tells Papyrus to leave, as this wouldn't solve itself with words, and claimed that he would hurt Sans if he got in his way of killing Bete when being asked. Papyrus refused to leave, and using love, he managed to remove the HATE in Sans' soul, freeing him from Bete's control and shocking Frisk.

After the battle, as Toriel and Frisk are walking through the woods, Frisk hangs back a bit and looks at his hand, noticing it is glitching. Realizing that he was now glitching due to utilizing the HATE and glitches to raise his LV, Frisk states that he was 'gonna run out of time'.

### My Promise

Frisk first appears in this episode after Asgore saves Jessica from the Pink Creatures. His hand starts to glitch, and he winces, before clasping his hand shut into a fist. Later, Asgore, Toriel, and Undyne ask why Frisk didn’t tell them about Bete, with him apologizing shortly thereafter. While the others talk, Gaster looks at Frisk which glitches back to his Genocide run showing them with 19 LV with glowing eyes then later snapping back to the present.

Later, Asgore, Toriel, and Frisk go to the arena in order to battle Bete. When the three meet Bete, Asriel joins Bete which takes the three by surprise. Bete and Frisk battle against each other again (however Frisk is at a distinct disadvantage, and he knows it) while Toriel and Asgore fight Asriel. After Asriel stabs Asgore in the chest he becomes severely hurt. Before Asriel could hurt Asgore again, Frisk tackles Asriel with his shield. Frisk tells Asgore and Toriel that they have to leave, but before he could do so, Bete commands Asriel to attack Frisk; Frisk was presumably hit by the attack.

Later, Frisk is seen back at the house with Toriel, Asgore, and Gaster. While Toriel heals Asgore, Frisk told Gaster that he needed to talk to them. Gaster and Frisk enter Gaster's Lab after Gaster took something from Frisk, Frisk enters one of Gaster's machines to be teleported into the Void.

Once Frisk teleports into the Void, he meets Chara, who was very frustrated with them. Frisk convinces Chara to help them. At first, Chara refused to help them due to the terrible things he did and making everyone else think he was at fault.

     Once Chara realizes that the timeline is in imminent danger he starts to think again, and agrees to exchange places with Frisk. Frisk gives Chara his soul, shortly afterward, Frisk admitted that he couldn't go back into the timeline with them. Chara becomes shocked, but Frisk continued and said that if he enters the timeline again it'll erase itself and said that it was up to Chara to save Asriel. Chara becomes worried and asks them what will happen to them.

Frisk says that it doesn't matter, and proceeds to replace himself with Chara, replicating all the memories of everyone in the timeline. After Frisk has been fully replaced by Chara in everyone's memories, he saves his changes, sending Chara back into the timeline. He cried before he got erased and told Chara to keep the promise he made for them, then he gets erased from the timeline entirely.

## Personality

*"Thank you, Frisk... You're a very nice and kind child."
"No. I'm not. Can't afford to be. Not anymore."*
―Jessica Grey and Frisk[src]
All in all, Frisk was a rather complicated individual to say the least. As the former player of the entire reality, Frisk encompassed powers to manipulate the timeline, thus his actions and behavior was mostly driven out of curiosity and a desire to pursue through his journey in the Underground. In his first journey, Frisk was gentle and warm, displaying kindness towards the monsters he encountered, as well as Chara, his ghostly partner. However, he barely showed any facial expressions, since most of his life, Frisk's face had a neutral and blank demeanor. He always was polite and obedient with anyone he met, appreciating Toriel's offer to care for him in the Ruins and supporting towards initial enemies he met. Frisk was essentially somewhat of a being with greater powers than regular humans, as he could make adjustments to space-time, therefore he viewed the people he interacted with as mostly characters in a video game that had well-written personalities that he could enjoy and sympathize with.

Despite feeling touched and heartwarming from Toriel's kind motherly presence, Frisk wanted to venture through the kingdom, but nonetheless, he successfully ended his relationship with Toriel on good terms and spared her, since Frisk started off wanting to be a pacifist. Continuing on in his journey, Frisk felt entertained and emotionally connected to the people he met, varying from the comedic Sans, the flamboyant Papyrus, the impulsive Undyne, the nervous Alphys, the charming Mettaton and the guilt-ridden Asgore Dreemurr. When Flowey suddenly claimed the six human SOULs for himself, Frisk remained extremely determined to go towards any extent to defeat the tyrant, even going so far as choosing to FIGHT, an option he rarely used at the time. Once Flowey was stripped of his powers, Frisk refused to execute him in spite of all the dastardly deeds he had committed, and even Flowey himself was confused and unsure of his kindness.

Since the beginning, Frisk had always desired to discover a peaceful and prosperous ending to his journey. After Flowey gave him advice on how to achieve the True Pacifist Route, he immediately loaded his SAVE file to do so, thus befriending every monster he could. Frisk never chose to FIGHT Asriel Dreemurr during the Battle of the Underground, having an iron will to see a happy ending as well as to continue living, which amplified his Determination to the point he could refuse his SOUL to break. In the battle's climax, Frisk was desperate to SAVE Asriel from his grief and dismay, sympathizing with the fact that the God of Hyperdeath's behavior emerged from utter loneliness, and he succeeded in doing so with Chara's help. Being a pacifist, he made amends with the emotional Asriel and forgave him for his actions, and with that, Frisk had finally completed the True Pacifist Route, which was the happiest ending possible at the time. He deeply cherished his memories and experiences in his journey, so Frisk decided to keep resetting the timeline in order to relive the True Pacifist Route countless times for entertainment, considering his story could never proceed once he arrived on the surface of Earth.

Following various repeats of the same journey over and over again, Frisk no longer felt the same joy he had the first time, ultimately becoming bored and dull in his life. His boredom stemmed from a curiosity in the child as to what the outcomes would be if he were to act differently in a particular way. Frisk was even willing to abandon some of his pacifist traits and kill certain enemies to witness the different Neutral Routes, becoming invested in how each of his decisions could alter his story. With the ability to SAVE and reset the timeline, Frisk believed he was above consequences since he could always modify the space-time continuum, eventually performing actions and options that pushed the timeline to its limits. The curiosity was almost unsatisfiable, as he had spent thirty years resetting his journey to observe the differences in interactions and aftermaths, to the point he had experienced every possible moment and change prior to the Genocide Route. Knowing there was nothing left to discover other than the events during the Genocide Route, he found this inevitable and decided to attempt to complete it.

A result of his massacres in the Underground was that HATE manifested in Frisk's SOUL, influencing his mind to become slightly more violent and less empathetic, almost reshaping him into a psychopathic murderer. However, Frisk did have standards as he found HATE and its aggression amplifications overwhelming him, so he forced the dark substance away from himself and directed it into Chara, under the impression it would just leave Frisk be. Following this, he had some sense of morality when he encountered Papyrus, who attempted to motivate him to turn over a new leaf, as he was initially hesitant to eliminate the skeleton, not until the brainwashed Chara fronted and completed the act.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Space-Time Manipulation**: After removing his SOUL for the final time and handing it over to Chara, Frisk still had the capability of interacting with the timeline. In his last moments, Frisk activated an option to replace himself with Chara, and once he pressed the button, it immediately altered the memories of every inhabitant of the universe to forget Frisk's existence, and in doing so, costed his own life.
* **Speed & Strength**: Similar to other characters, Frisk can occasionally move at speeds where their movement is not entirely clear, leaving "shift" marks when appearing; and can hit physical targets a pretty far distance away.

### Former Powers

* **Magic**: Much like any other human during his time, Frisk harnessed the ability to use one particular type of magic. However, his natural powers were removed after he gifted Chara his SOUL.
	+ **Chromatic Magic**: Frisk had been able to manipulate Chromatic Magic, the practice of utilizing energy centering upon his SOUL.
		- **Determination**: Wielding the strongest and rarest of the SOUL Traits, Frisk had feats beyond any Traited human being, considering almost limitless with strength. An aspect of the abilities he had with his Determination that highly differed from other humans with the same Trait was that Frisk could manipulate the fabric of space-time continuum, classifying him as a sentient anomaly.
			* **SAVE**: Having a high amount of Determination, Frisk was able to utilize SAVING in order to reshape reality and rewrite timelines. He temporarily lost hold of this function when Flowey absorbed the six human SOULs and stole the ability from Frisk, but he regained control after the SOULs betrayed and defeated Omega Flowey. After achieving the happiest possible ending he could gain, Frisk destroyed the Reset button, eliminating the concept entirely.
				+ **Load**: Frisk could load a SAVE via the menu, but reality would automatically load his most recent SAVE Point whenever he was killed. In the beginning of his journey through the Underground, Frisk was asked to name the fallen human, and three decades later, following the Reset that caused glitches, Frisk came across this scenario again. Still desiring to find a different ending, he chose to name the fallen human "Frisk", activating Hard Mode.
				+ **Reset**: The most pivotal functions of SAVE was the ability to reset the timeline, which Frisk repeatedly used to reverse time to the moment he arrived in the Underground. Frisk initially reseted in order to experience the True Pacifist Route several times, but out of boredom and curiosity, he began experimenting with his own morals and decisions in each different Neutral Route. Everytime he felt as if a dangerous situation was happening in one Route, he would reset. Over the course of thirty years of his lifetime, Frisk had been resetting the timeline to live every possible variable and event possible, not allowing everyone to age. By the time Frisk attempted to complete the Genocide Route, he became remorseful for his murderous actions and tried to reset, but after Chara temporarily prevented him from doing so, Frisk lent his SOUL to Sans, allowing the monster to use the Reset function, which led to glitches across space-time. Following the Battle of New Home, Frisk had finally discovered the kind of ending he was searching for, where both Asriel Dreemurr and W. D. Gaster were restored to normal and given chances to live among his friends. Frisk felt satisfied by this, so to prevent himself from undoing the outcome, he shattered the Reset button with his fist, an act he regretted due to it causing the various errors and expansions in the timeline.
				+ **Save Files**: Having the ability to create SAVE files, Frisk could often store information on the progress of his journey through the Underground in the reality. They commonly materialized at Frisk's will and it would display short data on his current circumstances.
			* **Weapon Summoning**: Capable of summoning weapons from his SOUL
			* **Regenerative Healing Factor**: When frisk watched asrial die he felt a large amount of determination causing him to regenerate holes in his arm
		- **SOUL Persistence**: Human souls live long after the body dies
		- **Death Persistence**: The glitches gave Frisk the ability to place his soul within a monster soul without dying. However, he's are unable to go back to his body after doing this until somebody resets. If Frisk manages to be extremely determined, and dies in during battle, he can immediately return to the battle with maximum HP as if his soul had never been damaged.
* **HATE Enhancement**: LOVE 19 Frisk in states of deep hatred, as shown with Bete Noire. Is capable of using HATE to enhance his attacks. This is shown in LOVE Part 2 where Frisk sticks his sword into the ground, and creates a large explosion.

### Abilities

* **Expert Combatant**: Frisk is a rather skilled combatant, Bete who is an inverted trait of Agate. Remarks Frisk as having nice moves when both of them fight.
* **Master Assassin**: Frisk is experienced in killing monsters. Doing everything there has to be in the underground, which includes every single Neutral Route, and Genocide Route where they've killed everyone. Only monster surviving, being Sans.
* **Expert Tactician**: Frisk is a tactical fighter, improvising their surroundings and what attacks they need to beat someone. Frisk also previously used their ability to SAVE and LOAD to improve on every time they were defeated by trying better and more efficient ways of beating someone.
* **Knife Mastery**: Their typical weapon they used to fight before gaining their Determination weapons.
* **Shield Mastery**: After receiving their shield, they showed their ways of using it effectively. Such as blocking an attack against Chara in Season 1 at their nigh-peak Determination and HATE. Using it to successfully block attacks from Bete, and contain blobs
* **Sword Mastery**: Shown to have technique and skill with a sword when destroying blobs and clashing with Bête in LOVE Part 2.

## Trivia

* In *Undertale*, Frisk is the playable character and main protagonist of the game. After Frisk falls into the Underground, they embark on a journey to return to the surface. Frisk is the last of the eight humans to fall into the Underground after traveling to Mount Ebott. Frisk is not the "fallen human" whom the player names at the beginning of the game, but Frisk's name is only revealed in the True Pacifist Route.
* Frisk was neither a Pacifist child nor a Genocidal child. He was more of a middle ground between the two.
	+ Frisk has completed all of the different endings.
* The Dark Void Chara surrounded Frisk with its Hate as Chara did have Hate under his control and when Frisk was breaking it, the black casing around his soul cracked.
	+ This will also explain why when more black substance crept upon his soul, Frisk glitched to Chara for a split second.
* By ending his life he also took the one thing that tied the game’s rules to the real world, meaning Frisk's abilities to manipulate the timelines aren't transferred to Chara.
* The timeline being glitched and messed up is a result of Frisk triggering hard mode.
* The dialogue, "He was right after all..." in the description of Love Part 1 is referring to Flowey's statement, "In this world... It's kill or be killed!"
* Before Love Part 2's release, Camila stated that Frisk did not care about anything, he was just trying to save the Timeline.
* Frisk stayed in "**The Underground**" for about 30 years before going to "**The Surface**".
* Frisk's determination can easily be corrupted whether by fear (weakening it) or by hate.
* According to Camila's Tumblr post. If Frisk died, presumably meaning his soul being destroyed, then the entire timeline would have been automatically erased.
	+ The timeline will get erased whether or not a monster or someone else absorbs Frisk's soul before shattering.
	+ Also, if Bete managed to kill Frisk, causing the timeline to be erased, she wouldn't care.
	+ This happened to Chara in the first timeline in Game Over.
* Frisk can use the "**But it Refused**" ability, but it's difficult for him.
* "Determination" may block Bete's Rhabdophobia ability.
* It was confirmed by Camila, Frisk is **The Player**, just like in Undertale.
* Frisk felt like scum for what he had done.
* Frisk was the only one who could make a sort of armor made of Determination around his body.
* Frisk was the only person who could get LV/EXP.
* If Frisk managed to make a RESET somehow, everything would still be ERASED and the world would still be turned into "The Void".
* When Frisk's LV increased from 3 to 19, it caused more glitches to the timeline and at the end of LOVE Part 2, Frisk said, "I'm gonna run out of time …"
	+ Frisk didn't make his LV to LV20 because he didn't have any previous data with them having LV20.
* In Camila's Glitchtale Poster #2 Speedpaint, Frisk was the only one glitching in the thumbnail.
* Frisk cannot "fix" the RESET button nor can he RESET again.
* The glitches were very *painful* for Frisk, and he is visibly seen flinching from them in My Promise.
* When Frisk was replaced by Chara in My Promise, the events before he got replaced still happened. However, the memories of everyone, including Sans and Chara, has been replicated where Frisk never existed.
	+ Frisk is most likely gone forever.
* Camila removed Frisk from 3 of her drawings.
* Frisk and Chara were really good friends to the point where Frisk knew Chara better than anyone.
* When Frisk encountered Chara in the True Lab, the game skipped the dating process and the talk with Asgore and the others in front of the barrier right onto the final battle.
* Chara had been haunting Frisk's memories, and what he did to Chara in Season 1 made them lose Determination as seen with his fight with Bete in Love Part 2 and it was something he wanted to fix.
* The glitching he caused on himself along with the guilt of being rude to Asriel and lose him to his enemy as well right in front of his eyes was too much guilt for Frisk to handle.
* It pained Camila to kill Frisk.  Since she had grown attached to his character development,
* Frisk was only LV18 in the flashback in Love Part 1 instead of LV19 because Frisk never did full genocide, he also explored other neutral endings then tried out the genocide route, as seen in Megalomaniac.
* No one will figure out what happened with Frisk as they don't remember him.

## Behind the Scenes

* Frisk in Glitchtale is the fourth animated incarnation of the character, following two non-voiced incarnations and the third one voiced by Sr Pelo.
* From the *Glitchtale* episodes *Megalomaniac* to *Dust*, Frisk looks more child-like and wears shorts, but from *Do or Die* onwards, he is redesigned to have a more adolescent body structure, slightly matured face and wears long pants.
* Initially, Camila Cuevas interpreted the mainstream game version of Frisk is genderless, so she implemented that aspect into this version of Frisk, believing it could dissolve arguments among the Glitchtale fan community debating on Frisk's gender. However, it resulted in more conflict so Camila decided to write this version of Frisk (along with Chara) as male.
