i can’t find the old post i made so here’s a quick collection of the chara and frisk hcs i had (most from when i was twelve lol but they’ve evolved slightly)
9 when they fell into the underground, 13 when they died
grew up in a religious household, was considered “demonic” for its mental illnesses and love of creepy things
spent their early life locked in a room with nothing but a computer to shut them up. their only comfort was the things they could find and watch online.
an actual tech nerd, absolute natural at programming and made its own programs for fun since it could physically use a keyboard.
got really into japanese media as a way to connect to their heritage, self taught themselves how to read basic japanese (they’re not able to speak or write it though)
its injuries from falling into the underground left it with mobility issues, its legs never healed perfectly.
the dreemurrs were like the first people they had any sort of interactions with that weren’t just abuse and being passed food.
tried to be the opposite of its family- which lead to it being clingy and emotionally abusive towards asriel without meaning.
this also meant they struggled to see the dreemurrs as family for a while, bc they actually paid attention to them
liked to play pranks but didn’t always consider the consequences. the buttercups incident was intended as a prank, it didn’t know buttercups were poisonous and thought it’d just taste funny.
planned to kill their family when they got to the surface with asriel, as their own idea of justice. they got so angry when they saw the other villagers they tried to kill them all though.
very protective of frisk, sees the fact they came here as a sign they’re not like other humans.
aware of the players influence but doesn’t know what they are. assumes they’re also some sort of trapped soul, and therefore a friend and partner.
9 when they fell into the underground
street rat, doesn’t remember any life before. raised by their sister (who’s barely older than them) who resented them, and was bullied by other kids in their situation.
blind since birth, they’re able to make out colours but too blurry to see shapes. possibly could have been helped with glasses at some point but deteriorated so much there’s nothing to be done. they don’t care or particularly want to see- they’re happy the way they are.
uses their stick as a makeshift cane to feel their way around. chara also describes things for them.
has had to use violence to protect themselves before and entirely unaverse to the concept. they bite and scratch like a cat.
very very loud and vocal. lots of vocal stimming. talks a lot. they don’t like quiet much.
used to sleeping in weird places and having to fight or talk their way out of weird situations, they’re entirely unphased by the underground. it’s not very different to their regular life.
hasn't been to school but is extremely street smart. they've been able to make a fairly comfortable living just out of sweet-talking people into giving them stuff, they’re very charismatic naturally and they also are a lot smaller and younger looking than most people their age so they can use that too.
this hasn’t saved them from horrific situations, they've been through some shit. they're easily startled and quick to enter fight or flight mode.
their sister abandoned them on mt ebbot without telling them and they fell into the underground trying to get back to the city. (she felt really bad after frisk didn’t return after a few days she’s only like 14 herself)
very very distant descendent of one of chara's uncles. shares a last name.
likes to make people smile. tells silly jokes and compliments people a lot. they also flirt a concerning amount- there’s not a lot they haven’t seen, and they don’t quite get why it’s inappropriate.
often appears extremely uncaring but mostly just easygoing. they can thrive in any situation and don’t really have an interest in stuff outside of that. they’ve never gotten themselves out of survival mode before.
from the year 2500 or whatever the fuck (they’re not sure they haven’t been to school again). does Not like technology bc it hurts their eyes tho
