2
3'''Be warned: There are unmarked spoilers below.'''
4%%If you have better descriptions, it would be appreciated.
5----
6[[foldercontrol]]
7
8[[folder:The Frisk Household]]
9!!Frisk
10The human child who fell underground and eventually managed to free the monsters trapped there. They now act as monsterkind's ambassador. They are an ardent pacifist and are determined to never hurt anyone.
11----
12* ActualPacifist: They will not hurt anyone, nor will they allow anyone to be hurt if they can help it. WordOfGod is that they do make an exception for video games where it's impossible to win without killing anyone.
13** Averted in the AFAC Hunger Games, where they end up tied with Papyrus and the Nicecream Guy for highest number of kills, with four (Of course, InUniverse it's apparently a game they're playing).
14* AllLovingHero: Wants to save everyone, including Chara.
15* AngerBornOfWorry: Yells at Monster Kid for putting himself in danger to get Frisk's attention.
16* TheAtoner: The reason why [[ActualPacifist Frisk]] has a strict ThouShallNotKill policy is because they (subconsciously, at first) remember letting Chara use their body to kill nearly everyone in the last timeline.
17* BigLittleBrother: Towards Flowey, who is older than them even with MentalTimeTravel in play, but still a plant in an easily-carried pot. [[spoiler: Averted after Flowey becomes Asriel again, and is the same height.]]
18* DoNotCallMePaul: Frisk's given name is Bronson Torres. WordOfGod confirmed that they do NOT like to be called Bronson.
19* DrivenToSuicide: During Chara's genocide run in Frisk's body, Frisk took control and committed suicide to perform a true reset before they could kill Sans.
20* EmpoweredBadassNormal: [[spoiler:Learns to create a personal barrier spell in the fourth arc, ¡Eclipse Total!]]
21* EyesAlwaysShut: Subverted. It seems like this for a while, but when asked about it, Frisk reveals that their eyes are open — they just have thick eyelashes.
22* TheGadfly: Had a lot of fun needling Sans and Toriel about their mutual crushes.
23* MundaneUtility: Back during the events of the game, they rewound time multiple times just so they could eat [[SupremeChef Toriel]]'s pie over and over again.
24* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Frisk regained their memories of the time Chara took control of their body and did a genocide run in it.
25* ObliviousToLove: They only realize that Monster Kid was flirting with them ''long'' after the fact. They're horribly embarrassed when they do figure it out.
26* RedEyesTakeWarning: When possessed by Chara. They're normally green.
27** Also happened when they [[spoiler:summoned a magical barrier]].
28* TakeAThirdOption: When asked what their favorite kind of dog was in order to try calming them down from [[spoiler:Janet realizing they're Susan's kid and were afraid she'd tell Susan they're alive]]. They said that all of the dogs were their favorite, since they were afraid that if they chose a favorite kind of dog, all of the dogs would be sad.
29* TheDeterminator: They never give up on helping others, even after they tried to kill them previously. They resolved to solve things peacefully.
30* TheRunaway: They became this after their [[spoiler:AbusiveParents kicked Aidrian, their older sister, out of their house]].
31* TraumaButton: The abuse Frisk suffered through caused them to be deeply upset by a few things that may seem innocent.
32** They are deeply afraid of being faced with the possibility of going back to their [[AbusiveParents human parents]].
33** Susan burning Frisk's favorite card in front of them spawned two triggers for Frisk: the scent of burning and the click of a lighter.
34** Because Susan yelled at Frisk for accidentally dropping a carton of eggs, they are triggered by the sight of broken eggs on the ground.
35** Susan belittled Frisk's interests in manga when she asked them what they were reading, so they are afraid to be asked what they're reading.
36** Frisk can be triggered by being deadnamed and misgendered. This happened constantly in Susan's household.
37* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: After Chara's nearly-completed genocide run, they temporarily retook control and stabbed themself in the heart so as to reset back to the beginning of their adventure and do it the ActualPacifist way.
38* ShipperOnDeck: An ardent Soriel shipper.
39
40!!Sans
41A lazy skeleton from the Underground that has a lot going on in the background.
42----
43* BadassBoast: When one asker asked how powerful he was, he simply responded that if we ever see him at his full power, one of us was definitely going to die.
44* BerserkButton: Flirting with Toriel will earn you a "Wanna have a bad time bro?" from him. Hurting Papyrus is another. Adrian got off light because it was a misunderstanding. She was ''not'', however, off the hook. For misunderstandings, he can be ''seriously'' petty.
45** Chara in general. When the alternate drunk Chara showed up, Sans almost attacked on sight before Asgore stopped him. [[spoiler: And again when his world's Chara got themselves a body.]]
46* CannotSpitItOut: Towards Toriel.
47* EleventhHourSuperpower: Sans got upgraded to his memelord form by the askers to boot Chara out of his mind.
48* EveryoneCanSeeIt: His crush on Toriel. ''Papyrus'' can see it and tries to get him to act on it.
49* HeroicWillpower: Temporarily grabs control of himself back from Chara using this.
50* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Sans felt horrible for having a [[ItMakesSenseInContext sexy burger dream]] while Toriel was feeling depressed. He was really more InnocentlyInsensitive than anything else.
51* NoteToSelf: After promising to truthfully answer a question that turns out to be "So... my mom... Would you kiss her and do gross mushy stuff with her if you knew she was down?"
52-->*note to self.
53-->*[[ThisIsGonnaSuck stop making irresponsible promises]]
54-->--sans
55* OneHitPointWonder: As in canon, much to Chara's surprise and annoyance. Even as a memelord.
56* PungeonMaster: Loves puns.
57* RealDreamsAreWeirder: Both dreams of his that the askers get to see.
58* RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyelights turn red when he's possessed by Chara.
59* SadClown: When possesed by Chara, he admits that he's always had a hard time staying positive.
60-->'''Sans''': *i mean, why do you think i tell so many jokes?
61* SuperReflexes: [[MundaneUtility They help a lot at winning fighting games.]]
62
63!!Toriel
64Former queen of monsters and Frisk's adoptive mother. Sweet and motherly, but she does have some issues under the surface.
65----
66* ActionMom: Kicks the most butt of any of the monsters during the first arc other than Sans.
67* ArmorPiercingQuestion: "Hey mom? Did you know that Sans thinks you're hot?"
68-->'''Frisk''', after the DramaticDrop and blush from Toriel: Good news Sans. She's down.
69* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: She doesn't believe that Sans would be in love with an 'old lady' like her.
70* IsThisThingStillOn: She's the reason Asgore is called "King Fluffybuns" — she was making an address and then forgot the mike was still close to her face when she handed it over to Asgore for his speech.
71-->'''Toriel''': Your turn, fluffybuns!
72* MamaBear: The woman [[NoSell No Sells]] Chara!Sans' bone attacks to defend Frisk and Kid.
73** Also [[TakingTheBullet takes the blast]] when [[spoiler:Goopster attacks Flowey]].
74* ObliviousToLove: She thinks that Sans only sees her as a friend. [[spoiler:Until the askers took matters into their own hands and flat-out told her.]]
75* PurpleIsPowerful: She's associated with the color purple and has purple eyes.
76* StepfordSmiler: She became this after the Red Echos arc.
77* SupremeChef: Makes great pies.
78
79!!Flowey/Asriel
80As Asriel, he was Toriel and Asgore's son and prince of monsters. Now he exists as a soulless flower who doesn't have much of a concept of positivity (though he is getting better). [[spoiler:During the Red Echoes arc, he regains a small part of Asriel's soul. The rest of Asriel's soul is with Chara, as shown when [=ClimaxStriker=] and several other askers correctly guess where it was and manipulate Chara into drawing it out. Asriel's first in-person ask-answering appearance is when the askers spy on Callallied's dreams.]]
81----
82* AlternateSelf: Knows Maverick is this to him, calling it obvious when the askers noted it. [[spoiler:Also, while Flowey is out and about, most of Asriel's soul remains attached to Chara with the eventual reveal that Asriel can be active within Chara's mindscape.]]
83* BerserkButton: As of the Sweet Dreams and Nice Creams Arc, [[spoiler:hurting Frisk]]. [[spoiler:When he heard about the [[AbusiveParents Abuse]] Frisk lived with before they went to Mt. Ebott, he asked Frisk where their parents lived with an honest to god SlasherSmile on his face.]]
84** Being reminded of his "Kill or be killed" past ''really'' sets him off.
85** [[spoiler:Hurting Toriel is this, too. He's ''furious'' when Goopster nearly kills her after she protects him.]]
86* BigBrotherInstinct: On occasion, displays this towards Frisk, and even with MentalTimeTravel in effect he's ''probably'' the older of the two. However, while he's Flowey, Frisk is the BigLittleBrother.
87* BrutalHonesty: Emphasis on the 'brutal' part.
88* TheCutie: As Asriel, he was this. Not so much as Flowey. [[spoiler:When Asriel finally appears in person, he shows that he definitely still is.]]
89* GlassCannon: According to Chara's Check, he has 19 Attack (higher than half the group) but 0 Defense.
90* {{Jerkass}}: He is much more this since joining Frisk's band of friends. [[spoiler:Since finding out about his little soul shard, [[JerkassWithAHeartOfGold he's been getting better]].]]
91* NightmareFace: As in canon, he's prone to these, however since he's on the heroes' side the worst it means is that he's either about to say something very cutting or lash out with his pellets. After finding out Frisk's tragic backstory, he's started pulling it on on Frisk's behalf.
92* MommasBoy: The first sign that [[spoiler: some of his soul has returned]] is the sheer fury he felt at seeing someone hurt Toriel.
93* {{Planimal}}: [[spoiler:After regaining his soul, Asriel has wooden horns as opposed to the more natural-looking horns of his parents or his appearance as a disembodied SOUL. Sharp-eyed viewers will notice that Maverick has, [[{{Foreshadowing}} and always has had]], similar wooden horns.]]
94* ReformedButNotTamed: He may be willing to leave the rest of the household alone most of the time, but he's still not a nice person and a full emotional spectrum is well beyond him [[spoiler: even once some of his soul is back.]]
95* TheSoulless: As in the game, the main reason he is the way he is. According to him he can only feel two things: basic survival instinct, and satisfaction at beating others at Smash Bros. [[spoiler:Subverted to a point since we found out he has regained a tiny bit of his own Asriel soul. This enables him to feel guilt over his actions and emotional attachment to people/things, but is nowhere near enough to actually ''be'' Asriel again.]]
96** [[spoiler: It was almost completely subverted when a group of Askers cooked up a plan to return the rest of his soul, but it didn't work, and then later gets his soul fully back after Chara's transformation.]]
97* SirSwearsALot: As Flowey, he’s prone to this when angry.
98
99!!Asgore
100The king of the monsters; his life has been going up since Frisk saved his kind, though he still has a few things to work through.
101----
102* CurbStompBattle: Was once on the receiving end, with Toriel on the giving end (he was really arrogant when he was young).
103* DemotedToExtra: Probably the least-seen of all the household members, only showing up briefly in the first two seasons. Season four starts featuring him more.
104* GentleGiant: A very big goat and a total sweetheart.
105* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Though the problems it caused were nothing he could have foreseen, he gave Gaster orange scented tea, which piranhas were attracted to. Guess what the river Gaster fell in was filled with?
106
107!!Papyrus
108San's brother, a cheerful and bombastic skeleton who you have to try ''really'' hard to tick off.
109----
110* AllLovingHero: Papyrus doesn't have a single bad bone in his body when it comes to others. When a creep hit on and misgendered Mettaton, Papyrus was there to calm down the situation with friendliness and understanding, even getting the creep to admit he'd been a jerk and see the error of his ways. [[spoiler:This is part of why Mettaton fell for him.]]
111* AngerBornOfWorry: Papyrus looked pretty pissed off after Sans [[spoiler:pretended to be stabbed by Chara when the knife hit the ketchup bottle]]. Subverted once he just holds Sans up and tells him that he is not allowed to do that ever again.
112* BewareTheNiceOnes: Papyrus went into BerserkerTears after [[spoiler:Sans was stabbed by Chara]]. When you see Papyrus get truly angry, you will know just how much restraint he's been showing since the moment you saw him.
113* LetsGetDangerous: Decides to really step up to the mat [[spoiler: when Undyne denies him Royal Guard membership by claiming he's too nice. Being nice doesn't mean he can't fight for what he believes in, and he gives her hell in the ring after challenging her for leadership of the guard.]]
114* MemeticPsychopath: In the AFAC Hunger Games, where he gets four kills (the same number as the first- and second-place finishers), the first one being Toriel.
115* NiceGuy: As always, a defining charactaristic of his. He'll even comfort a distraught Flowey or immediately forgive the person who punched him unprovoked! However, it's used against him when [[spoiler: Undyne denies him membership in the Royal Guard by claiming he's too nice.]]
116* NotHelpingYourCase: He almost gets himself attacked by Aidrian again when he describes his (canon and perfectly innocent) date with Frisk in AccidentalInnuendo after she was already freaking out about how the ten-year-old Frisk was getting into rather adult situations.
117* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:Plays this part in the Extra Dark Chocolate Arc. Telling Flowers, Braids, Twinkie, and Harlow about Aidrian's assault on him starts a CycleOfRevenge. And as Maverick reveals, if Aidrian died, the trope would reach near Exaggerated levels with it being a catalyst that nearly destroys the universe.]]
118
119!!Undyne
120Captain of the Royal Guard before it was disbanded, and now lives with the human she once tried to kill.
121----
122* ActionGirl: She's not captain of the guard for nothing.
123* BloodKnight: Loves fighting.
124* ButchLesbian: She's the BloodKnight captain of the guard and is in a relationship with the female Alphys.
125* CurbStompBattle: Deals one out to Maverick.
126* EyepatchOfPower: She got it when her eye was hit with debris when the Core exploded.
127* LargeHam: Her method of accepting Alphys's proposal involves leaping out of a ferris wheel while it's still in motion to get the ring when it was accidentally thrown out the window (that she broke earlier on).
128* MoreDakka: Has this philosophy with spears. She thinks that if she hurls enough of them, then her enemy won't be able to dodge despite her lack of depth perception. Frisk can, but only after resetting enough to memorize her attack patterns.
129
130%%!!Alphys
131%%The former Royal Scientist; an anime aficionado and Undyne's girlfriend.
132%%----
133%%* CovertPervert: Has her moments.
134
135!!Gaster
136Sans's and Papyrus's father; a brilliant scientist who accidentally erased himself when he fell into the Core. Sans used his power to rip him from the void, and he now exists just as he did before.
137----
138* BewareTheNiceOnes: When Chara sees the group's stats, his (66 [=ATK=] and [=DEF=]) are the third-highest in the group, behind Toriel and Asgore (both of whom have 80 [=ATK=] and [=DEF=]), and far above the next highest scores (Flowey's 19 [=ATK=] and Alphys's 3 [=DEF=]).
139* DrivenToSuicide: It's very heavily implied that Gaster's fall into the core was a suicide attempt.
140-->'''Asker''': Am I the only one who thinks Gaster didn't "accidentally" fall but rather ... "Willingly fell" if you catch my meaning.\
141'''Asker''' (to Hermann): Don't you ever wonder how a genius could fall 'accidentally' into his own creation, which he designed himself? Maybe it was too much for him. Maybe he told himself that his sons would be better off without him. Maybe he jumped.
142* LovableNerd: He's an adorable science geek.
143* MadScientist: Became one after the death of his wife. The guilt from this seems to have driven him to erase himself. [[spoiler:His wife also chews him out for this upon meeting him again.]]
144* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Gaster had this after his wife, [[spoiler:who was revived from a previously thought failed resurrection experiment]], gave him a scathing WhatTheHellHero speech.
145* OhCrap: Had this moment when he realized that he drank orange scented tea with Asgore when he was in a river with orange-scent-seeking Piranhas.
146* ShipperOnDeck: He knows about both of his boys' crushes, and ships them.
147* SpannerInTheWorks: His ability to teleport gets him and the rest of the group to the scene in time to pull a BigDamnHeroes against Chara!Sans.
148* TearsOfJoy: When Sans pulls him back into reality.
149* TeleportationWithDrawbacks: He can teleport, though he doesn't like to do it.
150* TroubledFetalPosition: When he's reminded of [[MadScientist just how bad he used to be]].
151
152!!The River Person/Hermann
153A mysterious figure who wanders the rivers of the Underground whilst saying cryptic phrases. Her true identity is Arial Hermann, Gaster's wife, who died but was brought back by Gaster's experiments.
154----
155* DemotedToExtra: Her importance dropped significantly since Sweet Dreams and Nice Creams.
156* GratuitousSpanish: Speaks in Spanish occasionally.
157* LateArrivalSpoiler: Premieres in the first proper story arc, and not exactly kept hidden in later arcs.
158* ShipperOnDeck: For Frisk / Monster Kid.
159-->'''Asker''': *meanwhile River Person is hardcore shipping the two cinnamon rolls in the background\
160'''River Person''': Actually, right now I'm shipping the two cinnamon rolls in the foreground.
161* TheSoulless: [[spoiler:She was revived by Gaster performing the same kind of Determination injection that led to Flowey/Asriel's rebirth in ''Undertale'' canon. Ultimately subverted, she regained her soul long ago but she didn't realize it. It was because of Gaster's hypothesis that she fooled herself into thinking that she was soulless.]]
162
163!!Chiller
164A Gaster Blaster; once the companion of [[WebComic/ManWhoSpeaksInHands MWSIH!Gaster]]. His resemblance to a dog spawned Frisk's affection for him.
165----
166* BadassAdorable: A cute skeleton puppy who's also technically a Gaster Blaster and just as powerful as any other.
167* CanonImmigrant: Quite literally. Chiller was created for the WebComic/ManWhoSpeaksInHands blog but ultimately jumped ship following the crossover.
168* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Became an adorable skele-pup whose honor as cute will be defended not only by askers, but even by ''Flowey.''
169* TalkingAnimal: After an asker made it so.
170[[/folder]]
171
172[[folder:Other Monsters]]
173!!Mettaton
174A ghost-turned-robot; the monster community's biggest celebrity. Lives at his own apartment complex instead of at Frisk's house.
175----
176* BadLiar: About his crush on Papyrus.
177* BerserkButton: He really doesn't like it when people address him as a "She" and not a "He."
178* CampGay: Identifies as male, is in love with another male, and is incredibly feminine.
179* CannotSpitItOut: He wants Papyrus to be the one to ask him out, to confirm that Papyrus sees them as equals.
180* DemotedToSatelliteLoveInterest: Downplayed, his personality is still there and he has relations outside of his relationship. However, in the original game, he was a major character; here, most of his screentime is devoted to his relationship with Papyrus.
181* Fiction500: Rich enough to have built both his own luxury apartment building (of which he and his counsin occupy the penthouse) and a massive monster-themed amusement park in a year. By comparison, the royal family of his people live in a house with several other monsters and explicitly have jobs that don't even offer paid vacation days.
182* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: The outfit he wears to impress Papyrus.
183-->'''Asker''': Mettaton what in the WORLD are you wearing??
184-->'''Other Asker''': you look like the 60's, 70's, and 80's all threw up on you at once.
185* InterfaceScrew: Apparently, he can '''kick asks out of existence'''.
186* SayingTooMuch: About his crush on Papyrus, complete with an OhCrap face once he figured out what he said.
187* TheNicknamer: Tried to claim he was this when called out on reffering to Papyrus as "Papy." Only to be undermined when the only nickname he could think of was calling his cousin "Blooky."
188* ThrowTheDogABone: He ''finally'' throws one Burgerpants' way when [[spoiler:Burgerpants fills in for the injured main actor of Mettaton's stage musical and ''kills'' it. He even shows concern over his beleaguered employee's health when he collapses from exhaustion due to both the exertion of playing the role and the fact that he'd squeezed his chubby frame into a rigid costume meant for someone much thinner]].
189
190!!Monster Kid
191An armless monster child who Frisk encountered in the Underground. Later developed a crush on Frisk.
192----
193* BurningWithAnger: They breathe fire after having enough of askers blaming Frisk for [[spoiler:Sans getting stabbed]]. It also happened after a kid mocked them for being in a relationship with Frisk.
194
195!!Maverick Chaosdragon, The Shadow Rogue/[[spoiler:Future Asriel]]
196A boss monster from another universe who arrived in the world of AFAC with an unknown goal. Also a total dork who can't really pull off the 'dark and mysterious protector' thing as well as he thinks he can.
197----
198* AlternateSelf: To Flowey/Asriel via dimension-hopping.
199* BadLiar: He did not do a good job trying to deny it when the askers speculated that he was [[spoiler:Asriel]].
200* BaitAndSwitch: When an asker asked if either [[spoiler:Sans or Asgore]] was his father, Maverick said they both were, before bursting into laughter and saying [[spoiler:"Naaah, I'm Asriel. Not this universe's Asriel though. My parents are Toriel and Asgore. Same as this universe's Asriel, as far as I'm aware."]]
201* BerserkButton: Laughing at his name.
202* BigDamnHeroes: Arrives to [[spoiler:save Flowey from Chara (possessing an alternate version of himself) [[ItMakesSenseInContext after Chara fell for a group of askers telling him that Flowey had become the Absolute God of Hyper-White-Chocolate in an attempt to give Flowey Asriel's soul back]]]].
203* ContinuityNod: His weapon is listed as 'Chaos Saber', which is one of [[FinalBoss Absolute God of Hyperdeath]] Asriel's attacks in the final battle of ''Undertale''[='=]s pacifist route.
204* EurekaMoment: Immediately figures out [[spoiler:Chara's plan]] after being told [[spoiler:they've dug up at least one body from the Underground]]. [[TheUnreveal Despite this, he stays mum on what that entails for the moment.]]
205* {{Expy}}: Of [[spoiler:[[Anime/DragonBallZ Future Trunks]], as a kid from a bad future who went back to the past to prevent a death that leads to a chain of events ending in his bad future]].
206* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: His armor is listed as 'Swim Goggles'.
207* HighlyVisibleNinja: Despite looking and acting like a ninja, so far he's been caught sneaking around multiple times and has even been captured by the main cast. At the start of season four Frisk outright calls a loud hello to him when he's trying to "guard from the shadows."
208* InterfaceScrew: He has the power to talk over the narrator, replacing blunt and unflattering descriptions with more favorable ones. He can also obscure his stats (well, until Undyne beats him uncosncious).
209* KidFromTheFuture: Though it’s relatively obvious, he’s an alternate future Asriel. However Frisk intially assumes him to be from a universe where he's Sans' and Toriel's son.
210* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: This seems to be his reason for being in this dimension.
211* ShellShockedVeteran: He apparently has some PTSD from whatever happened in his home universe. This prevents him from fully integrating into the family as he's still working out his issues.
212* WalkingSpoiler: While it's a [[BadLiar poorly hidden]] secret that he's an adult version of Asriel (complete with a soul), his exact reasons for being in this dimension can spoil a major twist in the Extra Dark Chocolate story arc. [[spoiler:We also still have a Flowey (with a small piece of his soul) that is, by boss monster standards, still a kid. This suggests that Flowey can get his soul fully back.]] And many details of his backstory still remain a mystery.
213** On the other hand, he multiple times admits there are obvious differences between his world and this one that he had no effect on--Chara's posession plan before he even showed up, for example, didn't happen in his world. In addition [[spoiler: unlike him, this world's Asriel doesn't grow up after getting his soul back and remains a child, as does Chara, whereas Maverick's Chara was also depicted as a teenager.]]
214
215!!Napstablook
216Mettaton's shy cousin who is now in a band with him.
217----
218* ApologizesALot: As in canon. They're initially set off by accidentally informing the askers that Mettaton has a crush.
219* LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone: Quickly leaves when they realize Mettaton and Papyrus are having a moment.
220* SatelliteCharacter: Mostly around for Mettaton to have someone to interact with when he's having scenes at his apartment building.
221
222!!Flowers
223A member of the gang that attacked Aidrian and a popular pro-wrestler at the Pit. Rash and swift.
224----
225* {{Face}}: Her pro-wrestling persona is a BullyHunter, and her real life actions imply she is too. Her conflict with Aidrian is from a complete misunderstanding of that time Frisk's sister kicked Papyrus in the face.
226* FragileSpeedster: Sure, she may be too fast to dodge, but give her one good smack to the face with a frying pan and she's down for the count.
227* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's abrasive and can come off as supremely rude, especially with a harsh comment to Frisk that amounts to her not considering them "her ambassador". However she's a legitimate BullyHunter and her comment was more from a place of disdain towards Frisk being placed in a position of government instead of being able to focus on their childhood.
228* ShockAndAwe: She uses electric magic in combat.
229* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Much to the exasperation of her friends, she considers fighting to be her "hammer".
230
231!!Braids
232A member of the gang that attacked Aidrian. Quick and deadly.
233----
234* AnArmAndALeg: Aidrian had to chop his arm off with a frying pan gifted to her by the askers in order to save Jason from being choked to death. It's not coming back.
235* DisproportionateRetribution: He was going to choke Jason to death just for being the reason that Aidrian attacked Papyrus. It's later revealed that since Braids doesn't have to breathe, [[SubvertedTrope he just didn't remember that humans do.]]
236
237!!Twinkie
238A member of the gang that attacked Aidrian. The bulkiest of the group.
239----
240* TheBigGuy: He's physically the biggest of Harlow's group. However, he's not much of a bruiser.
241* TheHeart: He's very sensitive, being worried about his friends' mental states.
242
243!!Harlow Garamond
244A skeleton who once served in the Royal Guard. Justifiably angered by how some humans harass monsters, but sometimes takes their anger too far...
245----
246* CanonImmigrant: Harlow Garamond was originally a character created for ''Webcomic/ManWhoSpeaksInHands''. This universe's version has a very similar design and backstory, but a few key differences (this HG was not the riverperson, is not related to Gaster, and [[spoiler:is not TheAtoner (yet)]].
247* DisproportionateRetribution: It's stated that he 'repays all favors two-fold'. [[spoiler:He was going to flat-out kill Aidrian and Jason for hurting Papyrus and lopping off Braids's arm. Jason didn't even do anything except cause Aidrian to attack in his defense!]]
248** [[spoiler:However, they later claim that they only wanted to maim Aidrian as punishment for attacking Papyrus. Assuming they're telling the truth, this would be a SubvertedTrope and a narrowly avoided AccidentalMurder — though getting Jason involved is still difficult to justify.]]
249* HalfTruth: [[spoiler:During their retelling of the events that occurred last night, they tell Undyne about how Aidrian cut off Braids' arm in the fight, but didn't mention that Braids was choking Jason to death at the time and Aidrian did that to save his life.]]
250* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:If he ''had'' killed Aidrian and Jason, then that senseless murder would have utterly destroyed any trust humans would have had for monsters, and led to a conflict that is heavily implied to be what ended up destroying Maverick's original universe.]]
251
252!!Freja
253Undyne's mother, who once occupied the position of head of the Royal Guard herself.
254----
255* ActionMom: Former head of the Royal Guard, and mother to Undyne (who occupied the same position herself).
256* TheComicallySerious: Always has a blank expression on her face.
257* KillingIntent: [[DefiedTrope Defied]]. Her ambush at the Trash Mart would have, according to her, done one or two damage at most due to her not actually intending any harm.
258* MeaningfulName: Freyja is the Norse goddess associated with love, beauty, war, and death.
259* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: She's able to move on land with no legs and a visible fish tail. Fortunately for Undyne, monster (magic) biology averts the [[MermaidProblem Mermaid Problem.]]
260* ProudWarriorRaceGuy
261* TheStoic: Momzy is the noisy one.
262
263!!School Children
264A varied assortment of child monsters who attend the same school as Frisk.
265----
266* OfficialFanSubmittedContent: They were created by fans for a contest and became characters in this way.
267
268!!Callallied
269One of several monster children Frisk and Flowey attend school with. They are a bashful skeleton monster who tries to hide their hands.
270----
271* AmbiguouslyEvil: While it's beyond a reasonable doubt that [[spoiler:they're Chara]], it is initially unclear if their shyness [[spoiler:and amnesia]] is genuine, or just a ruse to lift suspicion. [[spoiler:An asker visit to their mindscape seems to confirm that they really do have amnesia — Chara is portrayed as asleep in their mind and it's only Asriel's efforts that keep them from going under (and presumably dying).]]
272* BerserkButton: Gets extremely annoyed when [[spoiler:askers threw out a few comments about white chocolate. They went on a massive rant about how white chocolate wasn't really chocolate — neatly confirming askers' suspicions that they were Chara]].
273* ChekhovsGunman: After a few small appearances at the beginning of the fourth arc, they become important when [[spoiler:them being bullied and Frisk defending them leads the latter to discover their wizardry]].
274** [[ChekhovsBoomerang Becomes important again later]] when [[spoiler:they're revealed to be an alter ego of Chara]].
275* IdentityAmnesia: [[spoiler:After Chara's DespairEventHorizon, they seemingly lost their memories, and now they think they're genuinely a ghost monster possessing a human skeleton.]]
276* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:As at least one asker pointed out outside of the comic, Callallied sounds rather similar to "Chara lied."]]
277* OfficialFanSubmittedContent: Like the rest of Frisk’s classmates. [[spoiler:Subverted. In fact, WordOfGod states that one of the contest’s main purposes was to introduce Callallied in a way that didn’t immediately set off alarm bells toward them.]]
278* OurLichesAreDifferent: [[spoiler:WordOfGod reveals that this is effectively what Callallied is — Chara's skeleton, resurrected via necromancy.]]
279* RedRightHand: [[spoiler:At some point, their voice changes, demonstrated for the viewers by their text becoming red. This was a clear indication that they were connected to Chara.]]
280** [[spoiler:Looking at their hands when they're uncovered, you can see they have five fingers. According to WordOfGod, skeleton monsters have only four fingers.]]
281* ShrinkingViolet: Initially appears more bashful than Alphys in the original game, if you can believe it. [[spoiler:In truth, this is likely a combination of keeping their true nature hidden and having to choose their words very carefully.]]
282* WalkingSpoiler: They turn out to be [[spoiler:Chara’s alter ego]].
283[[/folder]]
284
285[[folder:Other Humans]]
286!!Jason Lacasse
287A human who Papyrus accidentally hits with a car. Something of a dork and best friends with Aidrian.
288----
289* CrazyPrepared: He carries SAND in his POCKETS, just in case he needed to throw it at someone in the eyes to escape. Wanna know how long it's been since he started this routine? MIDDLE SCHOOL!
290%%* DeadpanSnarker
291* DrunkOnMilk: He has an... [[MushroomSamba entertaining]] reaction to being fed a nice cream. He doesn't even realize that his broken leg (which Flowey gave him the nice cream to fix) was healed until ''much'' later.
292* EnsembleDarkHorse: Askers quickly took a shine to him.
293* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The Feminine Boy to Aidrian's Masculine Girl.
294* NoodleIncident: Still has war flashbacks to the "Christmas Fiasco."
295* TheNicknamer: He nicknames Maverick with the names of dark and edgy characters such as Kylo Ren, Vincent Valentine, and Shadow The Hedgehog.
296
297!!Aidrian Torres
298An impulsive young woman who is quick to lash out when someone she cares about is in danger.
299----
300* ActionGirl: She's a third degree blackbelt in Karate and her profession is Mixed Martial Arts fighting.
301%%* BadassNormal: See ActionGirl.
302* BerserkButton: Hurting her friends is one way to get your ass kicked. [[spoiler:ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, USE "THEY" AS A PRONOUN WHEN REFERRING TO HER LITTLE SIBLING, FRISK. '''ALWAYS'''!!!!]]
303* BewareTheNiceOnes: First meeting aside, she's actually very kind, but mess with the people she loves and that will earn you a kick to the face.
304* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:In the bad future Maverick came from, Frisk and Gaster attempted to revive Aidrian with Determination. This resulted in giving her dead body life, but with her soul long gone, it succeeded only in turning it into what is best described as a terrifying cross between a traditional zombie and ''Undertale''’s amalgamates, and was a major factor in what led to the bad future.]]
305* DeathGlare: Gave one to the askers when they called Frisk a "He" or a "She." Her glare is scary enough to make grown men go "Eep."
306* FryingPanOfDoom: The askers gave her one, and she used it well.
307* HairTriggerTemper: She's pretty quick to resort to violence when she thinks her loved ones are in danger. Luckily, she's quick to calm down if she sees it's a misunderstanding, and Papyrus is nice enough to forgive her.
308* HasAType: She has posters of [[Anime/InuYasha Sesshomaru]], [[Anime/DragonBallZ Future Trunks]], and [[Anime/{{Naruto}} Rock Lee]] on her wall. It's really no wonder she fell for Maverick, who's a pretty boy like Sesshomaru, a KidFromTheFuture like Trunks, and a ninja like Rock Lee.
309* HotBlooded: Described as 'hot-headed, hot-blooded, and hot in general.'
310* LateArrivalSpoiler: Adrian’s intro and reveal of their relation to [[spoiler:Frisk]] happened in the second arc. Though other details, [[spoiler:such as her role in Maverick’s bad future]], are revealed later.
311* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The Masculine Girl to Jason's Feminine Boy.
312* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: PlayedForLaughs when she realized that ''she'' inspired Frisk's habit of flirting.
313-->'''Aidrian''': I've created an unstoppable flirt-monster.
314* MyGreatestFailure: It is not hard to believe that she would count her finally snapping at her parents and breaking her mom's porcelain pig collection in a fit of rage as one; it led to her getting kicked out of the house, which, in turn, led to [[spoiler:Frisk running away and, assuming that she knew about Mt. Ebott and the kids disappearing there, led her to believe they were dead]]. She really took it hard, to the point where just mentioning [[spoiler:Frisk]] would [[TearJerker bring her down]] from the most excited of moods.
315* RageBreakingPoint: Against her parents in the backstory. After they abused [[spoiler:Frisk]] one too many times, she just snapped and destroyed their porcelain pig collection.
316* RescueRomance: Fell head over heels for Maverick when he saved both her and Jason's lives.
317* TheTease: Her default reaction to people making uncomfortable advances is to flirt aggressively with them to make them uncomfortable enough to stop. She also applies this to fighting to distract her opponents. This ended up rubbing off on Frisk, much to her horror when she found out.
318* TrueCompanions: She was willing to fight monsters, beings with powers that could very well kill her, to save her friend. Major misunderstanding aside, you do have to hand it to her: she's got guts to try something like that for her friends.
319
320!!Susan Torres
321Frisk's emotionally abusive mother. One of the reasons Frisk ran away from home.
322----
323* AbusiveParents: WordOfGod confirms she is the more aggressive of the 2 parents. She yelled at Frisk for dropping a carton of eggs on the ground by accident. She coldly rejected Frisk's well-intended offer to clean it up, stating that they'd "only make a bigger mess". WordOfGod said that she threw Frisk's Pokémon cards away for not ''immediately'' cleaning their room. When Frisk dug through the trash to save ''one'' card, their favorite card, she took it and [[KickTheDog burned it right in front of them]].
324* BerserkButton: She will write you off her list of people to hang out with if it turns out you've written anime. She calls it "Japanese Garbage" for some reason. WordOfGod confirmed she was initially fine with Jason's family, but upon finding out Miu wrote Mew Mew Kissy Cutie, a manga, she wrote them off as bad eggs for some reason and decided they were a bad influence. The reason she hates anime is a mystery to us all to this day.
325* CollectorOfTheStrange: She owned a collection of porcelain pigs. The past tense is appropriate here, as Aidrian snapped and broke them all in a fit of rage.
326* TheCorrupter: As one anon noted, she acted like a Ku Klux Klan recruiter, targeting vulnerable people like Janet and preying upon and exacerbating their fears.
327* FantasticRacism: She is a notable member of the anti-monster protesters, and she's responsible for feeding Janet's prejudice against monsters.
328* GiverOfLameNames: Named Frisk "Bronson." Even Asgore has better naming skills than that.
329* HeteronormativeCrusader: Really a Cisnormative Crusader, she refuses to acknowledge Frisk as agender and forces them to conform to the gender binary by doing stuff like cutting their hair despite their desire to keep it long.
330* {{Hypocrite}}: In regards to the HeteronormativeCrusader thing, she is clearly the more aggressive of the 2 parents and also more dominant and, according to her husband, more assertive. These are masculine traits she exhibits herself, yet she feels like making an agender Frisk "act like a man."
331** At one point in Harlow's flashback, [[AbusiveParents she]] can be seen holding a sign that says "SAVE our CHILDREN".
332* MaliciousMisnaming: WordOfGod confirms Susan knows Frisk's preferred name. She just sticks to using Bronson because she's a stubborn bitch.
333* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Susan is the masculine girl to her husband's feminine boy. This isn't meant to make them sympathetic, but to point them out as hypocrites.
334* NiceJobFixingItVillain: While nothing was "broken", per say, she's a major reason why Frisk ran away to Mt. Ebott and subsequently freed the monsters — the very "demons" she is protesting.
335* WantedAGenderConformingChild: Her reason for her abusive behavior to Frisk.
336* UnnamedParent: used to be unnamed until Janet revealed her name while freaking out about finding her kid alive.
337
338!!Frisk's Father / Mr. Torres
339Frisk's emotionally abusive father; One of the reasons Frisk ran away from home.
340----
341* AbusiveParents: While Susan was the aggressive type, Mr. Torres is the apathetic one. WordOfGod says he would often try to get Frisk and Aidrian to behave so he doesn't have to deal with his wife's bullshit. When Frisk got home from school and told their dad they got punched in the face, rather than comfort them and ask them if they're OK like a real parent would, he instead asked if they punched back.
342* FantasticRacism: Safe to assume the father is a protester like Susan. He was sighted in Harlow's flashback.
343* HeteronormativeCrusader: A Cisnormative Crusader like Susan. This man doesn't accept Frisk as being agender.
344* {{Hypocrite}}: Also, like Susan, because he's passive, silent, and submissive due to his not doing anything to help his kids. This also makes him a hypocrite.
345* LackOfEmpathy: The only crap he gave about Frisk being in a fight was whether or not they punched back. That is all.
346* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Feminine guy to Susan's Masculine Girl. Meant as a deconstruction showing that he's a hypocrite who's backwards when it comes to gender roles, yet forces those on Frisk along with Susan.
347* WantedAGenderConformingChild: Same as his wife.
348* UnnamedParent: Both parents were initially unnamed, but then Janet namedropped Susan.
349
350!!Janet Espinoza
351One of the managers of Pedro's Pizza, where Jason works. Not exactly the most monster-friendly human out there, but she has her redeeming traits.
352----
353* AgreeToDisagree: Tries to pull this when she can't think of a proper argument against Aidrian[[labelnote:note]]a professional mixed martial artist[[/labelnote]] saying that, by her anti-monster logic (she's scared of them and thinks they're too dangerous to be around), ''Aidrian'' should be banned for her body being a deadly weapon.
354* CharacterDevelopment: It's revealed that part of her hatred of monsters was due to her finding her ex-boyfriend making out with one, ''before he was her ex''. This ended up being combined with Susan Torres' warnings and paranoia. After the visit to Monster World theme park, she admits she let her experiences reinforce her prejudices and is doing her best to change. She even appears to have started a friendship with Asgore — the ''literal king'' of all monsterkind.
355* EveryoneHasStandards: When she realizes that Frisk identifies as agender and discarded their old name, she becomes very remorseful for unknowingly deadnaming and misgendering them.
356* FantasticRacism: Against monsters. Specifically, according to [[AllThereInTheManual her reference sheet]], she's afraid of them and treats them like dangerous animals.
357* FreudianExcuse: Her initial FantasticRacism was due to her natural anxieties about the monsters being fed by Susan's poisonous words and discovering that her boyfriend (who'd encouraged her to accept monsters) was cheating on her with a bunnygirl monster.
358* GoodParents: She treats Noah very well from what we see.
359* GlamorousSingleMother: Not much is made of the fact that she raises Noah alone.
360* HiddenDepths: Turns out, she's capable of change and growth as much as anyone in the comic.
361* InnocentlyInsensitive: It seems that she [[spoiler:deadnamed and misgendered Frisk]] due to not knowing [[spoiler:Frisk]]'s full story, just what she's been told by [[spoiler:Susan]].
362* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's actually a fairly good person whose FantasticRacism is motivated by fear and ignorance as opposed to genuine hatred.
363* ProfessionalButtKisser: Towards customers. She goes from chewing out Jason to putting on a fake polite persona for Aidrian.
364
365!!Noah Espinoza
366Janet's son; a boy attending Elkwood Elementary who comes along on the cultural appreciation field trip to Monsterland with students from Frisk's school.
367----
368* BerserkButton: Insulting Janet.
369* DisappearedDad: It's merely implied in the comic itself thus far, but his father isn't around.
370* MamaBear: An InvertedTrope, he gets set off easily when people speak poorly of his mother.
371
372!!James Lacasse
373Jason's father, Miu's husband, and CEO of a cosmetics company, James is a big fan of Mettaton.
374----
375* GoodParents: Along with Miu, he's definitely turning out to be this way.
376* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: He runs a makeup company and one of his favourite television stars is Mettaton, who is literally the poster boy for this trope.
377* OpenMindedParent: Very accepting of monsterkind, he and Miu have become Aidrian's "second family" after she was kicked out of her own home.
378
379!!Miu Lacasse
380An artist and the mother of Jason and his siblings. Miu is revealed to be the original creator of Alphys' favourite Manga, Mew Mew Kissy Cutie, when she was in college.
381----
382* BerserkButton: Bringing up the Mew Mew Kissy Cutie 2 movie — which was created after she sold the rights to Mew Mew Kissy Cutie. Her anger is rooted in the massive AdaptationDecay the character went through once it was no longer under her control.
383* InformedAttribute: Is apparently a bit of a health nut, but given how early her appearance is, we've yet to see it.
384* OldShame: Selling the Mew Mew franchise to people who had no respect for the canon and basically tore apart "her baby".
385* OpenMindedParent: Along with James, she's an open-minded parent to their kids and fully accepts the existence of Monsters.
386
387!!Michael Lacasse
388----
389Jason's older brother, a nurse at a local hospital. Michael is described as kind, gentle, and liking kids.
390* PrettyBoy: Definitely looks this way.
391%%* FriendToAllChildren
392
393!!Amelia Lacasse
394Jason's sister. She builds Monster Trucks and is described as Aidrian's arch-nemesis.
395----
396* FriendlyEnemy: Adrien describes her as "her nemesis", but their attitude towards each other so far has not been particularly unpleasant and they may consider one another a WorthyOpponent.
397--->'''WordOfGod''': (in response to an asker) "[[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} Kismesis]] implies sexual attraction which is not the case here. Think more… platonic eternal rivals that will also hang out and get some donuts together like bros."
398* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Appears to be this to her brother, Michael, with him being a sensitive nurse and her a Monster truck builder who Aidrian considers a nemesis.
399* SilkHidingSteel: She's pretty, elegant, stylish, and wears a lot of pink. And builds monster trucks for a living.
400
401[[/folder]]
402
403[[folder:Fourth Wall Entities / Other Beings]]
404!!Askers
405Beings from another world who once communicated with the cast through Frisk's blog, but soon gained the power to speak and act more directly through the void.
406----
407* AuraVision: Strong enough magic is a SplashOfColor (before the comic turned full color) to them, and they can also ask to see all the souls in a certain area, [[spoiler:which is how they confirmed that Flowey was getting some of his soul back]].
408* BatmanGambit: Several askers have proven themselves quite good at this.
409** An asker managed to get other characters to comfort Sans simply by yelling out to Gaster, Hermann, Papyrus, and Toriel that Sans was crying. They were there in an instant, and Toriel had a slice of pie ready.
410** Later on, one asker (known as [=ClimaxStriker=]) orchestrated a plan to have other askers tell Chara [[spoiler:while they're possessing Drunk Chara]] that [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Flowey became the "Absolute God of Hyper-White-Chocolate."]] [[spoiler:This plan ultimately succeeded in drawing out ''[[ItMakesSenseInContext Asriel's soul]]'', and came extremely close to fully restoring Asriel.]]
411** Continuing the white chocolate theme, askers confirmed that [[spoiler:Callallied was Chara]] by talking about white chocolate in front of them. [[spoiler:Callallied immediately started ranting about how white chocolate wasn't chocolate, confirming their suspicions.]]
412* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Chara accuses them of thinking of the persons of the blog as characters, not as people. While they're not entirely wrong, they're also not entirely right — the askers are, for the most part, benevolent and try to help the characters out as much as they can.
413* TheChessmaster: Successfully manipulated Aidrian and Jason into discovering [[spoiler:Frisk was alive the whole time by getting them to watch their Website/YouTube video of Sans fighting off Chara in his mind. Sure, Frisk wasn't ''in'' the video, but the account sure clued Aidrian and Jason in]].
414** Also, [=ClimaxStriker=] brought together a group of askers in an attempt to [[spoiler:get Chara to give Asriel his soul back]]. ''It almost succeeds'', too, only failing because [[spoiler:Chara had been holding on to most of Asriel's soul for so long that they were determined to not give it up]]. [[spoiler:The plan, for those who want to know, went like this: [=ClimaxStriker=] and his co-conspirators told Chara (at that point very drunk) that Flowey had become the "Absolute God of Hyper White Chocolate" and that he could only be stopped by hugging him. The contact drew out Asriel's soul, and would have returned it to Flowey had Asriel not been determined to try and help Chara.]]
415* FourthWallMailSlot: Anyone can become an asker, even you, yes you, the person reading this sentence. You just send in an ask via [[http://askfriskandcompany.tumblr.com/ AskBlog]] on Tumblr and it may be heard by the characters. You can not only speak to the Characters, you can also check their stats, look at souls, detect magic, and spy on dreams. Neat stuff like that. Though not all of the "Magic Anon" asks are accepted.
416* IKnewIt: Guessed several twists ahead of time, like the River Person being [[spoiler:Hermann]] and Maverick being [[spoiler:Asriel]]. The River Person has to cut out several spoilers from the asks, and Maverick does not do a very good job of denying their guesses.
417** WordOfGod has said that one asker (whose ask they subsequently couldn't publish) managed to guess Chara's hidden plan.
418** A few of them correctly concluded that [[spoiler:Chara had the rest of Asriel's soul]], and used this information to [[spoiler:trick Chara into almost transferring it completely back to Flowey]].
419* KickTheDog: Some askers are all too willing to use their words to torture the characters, sometimes at the worst times. Chara uses this as an example about how the world needs to die, despite there also being benevolent askers who hate it when hurtful asks get through.
420* MoreThanMindControl: It's theorized by Alphys that the askers are inadvertently making it so that anyone who hears them will answer their questions and not be too freaked out by hearing disembodied voices from across the void.
421* ShipperOnDeck: Most ship Soriel and Papyton.
422* SpannerInTheWorks: Ruined Chara's plan to possess Frisk by warning Sans and the others about it.
423* TokenEvilTeammate: Most of the askers are benevolent towards Frisk and company, but every so often, there are ones who enjoyed the Genocide run or will lend Chara power.
424* TooDumbToLive: [[CassandraTruth It may have been the truth]], but telling a third degree blackbelt in karate that her [[BerserkButton dead sibling]] is NotQuiteDead to her face, after a whole entire year of her believing it ''and'' with no proof, was not the wisest of moves to make. The askers were just lucky she couldn't touch them.
425* WhatTheHellHero: The askers turned this back onto Hermann after she basically told Gaster everything he's been telling himself for years. One speech was actually given to the askers by Monster Kid after the askers started blaming Frisk for [[spoiler:Sans getting stabbed by Chara moments after Frisk begged him to spare Chara]]. They were right about everyone being "a bunch of Smelly Turds" in that moment.
426
427!!Chara
428The first fallen human. They return to life with a plan to destroy the world out of hatred of the evil it contains.
429----
430* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: Fell for the askers' story about Flowey having become the Absolute God of Hyper White Chocolate and needing to be defeated by hugs when they possessed Drunk Chara after Drunk Chara had ingested six bottles of wine.
431* AndThenWhat: Gets asked this by [[spoiler:Paolo]], regarding their plan to convince Frisk to go genocide again. Chara is convinced that [[InsaneTrollLogic since Frisk is a good person, they'll accept that everything is evil]]. [[spoiler:Paolo]] asks them what they'll do if Frisk refuses. They cannot answer, since their whole motivation is basically just an excuse to lash out at the world.
432* BackFromTheDead: They exploit the void-rift Sans created to return to the living world, [[DownplayedTrope albeit as a ghost-like entity]].
433** [[spoiler:They come back in a more complete sense when they metamorphize into a skeleton monster.]]
434* BeingEvilSucks: Their refusal to accept redemption means that they're pretty much trapped in a vicious cycle of self-loathing and lashing out, being offered friendship and rejecting it because of said self-loathing, causing them to lash out to get the painful situation to stop, and so forth. Askers have even pointed out that a counterpart of theirs who ''did'' have a HeelFaceTurn (the Chara from ''Ask Drunk Chara'') is in a much better place having accepted their loved ones than AFAC!Chara is pushing them away, but they get ignored.
435* BerserkButton: Chara doesn't consider white chocolate to be chocolate, and is very annoyed when someone asks if it's their favorite kind. [[spoiler:Askers have pressed it as a way to manipulate them. [[RunningGag Twice.]]]]
436** They also get really upset whenever someone brings up their past relationships to Asriel, Asgore, and Toriel.
437** They also get really angry and defensive whenever someone acts in a way that challenges their 'everyone deserves to die' worldview, since it's basically a coping mechanism for their guilt.
438* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: More like, Black-and-Black Insanity because they don't seem to believe that there ''is'' any white.
439* ChildMage: [[spoiler:During their time with the Dreemurrs, they were taught magic, and they're talented enough to perform somewhat complex magic. Becoming a ghost makes it even easier to use magic.]]
440* DarkAndTroubledPast: Implied when they first met Toriel, where their leg breaks when they try to look tough and they claimed to have gouged a man's eye out for a moldy slice of bread, something they [[DidIJustSayThatOutLoud immediately regret saying]]. This suggested a miserable life on the surface, to put it mildly.
441** Oh ''yes'' they did. [[spoiler:Their biological parents were very good people who lived on a tiny island village in the middle of the ocean. But their happy life was destroyed when pirates raided the village, kidnapped Chara as some kind of trophy, and killed their mother when she tried to save her child. Chara was driven to the point where they slit the crew's throats while they were all drunk.]] Can you really blame them for what they are now, when they had a past like ''this''?
442* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:While possessing Drunk Chara, they start to realize what they've become and question what the point of their actions is. This culminates in them seemingly vanishing and the IdentityAmnesia discussed below.]]
443* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:A year after the pirate raid, they leapt into Mt Ebott because they wanted to die.]]
444* DemonicPossession: As a determined human ghost, they've done this several times throughout the blog. Their victims in canonical order are [[spoiler:Sans and Drunk Chara]].
445** [[spoiler:Subverted and played with for Callallied. It at first appears Chara possessed them, but it later turns out Callallied was ''created'' by Chara and used as an alter ego.]]
446* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: They deny it, but it's very clear that they deeply care for Asriel. A vision of Asriel apologizing to them and begging them not to destroy the world leaves them ''very'' shaken.
447** They're also a lot nicer when dealing with Maverick (an older alternate Asriel) than they are with almost anyone else, lightly teasing him and only reacting negatively when informed that Maverick cared about his Chara even though his Chara killed people.
448* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Downplayed, since the point is eventually driven home, but at first they're incapable of understanding Drunk Chara being TheAtoner.
449* {{Foil}}: To Frisk. They look alike, are both agender ([[spoiler:and their biological sexes contrast]]), and are both TheDeterminator. However, Frisk acknowledges the bad in people and forgives them for it, while Chara never forgives anyone and so ''cannot'' see past the world's evil.
450* HeelRealization: During their spirit's travels with Frisk as their LemonyNarrator, Chara began to consider the possibility that maybe the world wasn't messed up and instead ''they'' were the one who was messed up. [[RedemptionRejection Unfortunately, it didn't exactly take]] since it was too painful for them to confront the fact that their actions were entirely inexcusable. The reason they're so hellbent on convincing Frisk of all people of their viewpoint is because if they can convince them that it's true, then they can fully convince themselves that they're not the bad guy. [[spoiler:When they confront an alternate self of theirs who ''did'' have a HeelRealization that took, it ends up driving them past the DespairEventHorizon.]]
451* HeWhoFightsMonsters: An ask gets them to stop trying to attack ADC!Frisk by pointing out that they're on a ship with a sword — just like the pirates who ruined their childhood prior to meeting the Dreemurrs.
452** [[spoiler:Also became a literal example when they became a monster by bonding to their skeleton permanently. This ''is'' technically after they fought monsters in the previous genocide run timeline.]]
453* {{Hypocrite}}: They take askers' defining characters as good or evil as evidence that the askers don't view them as people. The whole reason they want to destroy the world is because they think that it is evil.
454** An asker calls them out on their hypocrisy in calling Drunk Chara a hypocrite because he's trying to redeem himself, while they themselves are actively and consciously doing what they know to be wrong, despite claiming to be "properly disgusted by [the genocide run]". Chara has no response to this.
455* IdentityAmnesia: [[spoiler:See TraumaInducedAmnesia.]]
456* JerkassHasAPoint: A PlayedForLaughs variant, they don't consider white chocolate to be real chocolate, which isn't inaccurate since most chocolate products are based on cocoa solids, whereas white chocolate is based on cocoa butter with sugar and milk added to the mix.
457* MissingStepsPlan: When their mysterious plan was revealed, it turns out to be: [[spoiler:Pose as a monster at Frisk's school, befriend Frisk, something something something, Frisk agrees to kill everyone. Erika even pointed out earlier that Chara didn't seem to have a plan, or at least not a good one, because their possession of Drunk Chara had to be spontaneous. Doing that wasn't the sort of thing people do when they have good plans that they actually expect to succeed.]]
458* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Chara does, to some extent, regret their actions in the Genocide Run. The unfortunate thing is, actually accepting that they did something absolutely inexcusable would be too painful, so they stopped short of the HeelFaceTurn step and ended up becoming an OmnicidalManiac in a desperate attempt to convince themselves that killing everyone was in some way justified.
459* NiceJobFixingItVillain: WordOfGod. Chara's actions made Frisk regret letting Chara be in control in the first place, leading them to be the "determined little ball of sunshine" they are now.
460* NobleDemon: They think the world is irredeemable, therefore it needs to be destroyed. They include themself in that.
461* OlderThanTheyLook: At the current time of the comic, their chronological age is 110 years old, but they still act and appear like a child.
462* OmnicidalManiac: Mostly because they want to convince themselves that their horrible actions were in some way justified, so they tell themselves that the world is just as horrible and needs to die, basically excusing their KickTheDog actions.
463* OtherMeAnnoysMe: They and ''Man Who Speaks In Hands''!Chara meet and exchange plans, and immediately call each other out as being stupid. Chara later calls MWSIH!Chara "delusional", and said that what MWSIH!Chara said was "a bunch of nonsense that didn't mean anything". They also has a problem with ''Ask Drunk Chara''[='=]s version of Chara, although that's more because the idea of a Chara who gave up being an OmnicidalManiac and ended up on the side of good challenges their BlackAndWhiteInsanity.
464* OurLichesAreDifferent: [[spoiler:Resurrected their own skeleton, turning it into Callallied. WordOfGod gives a SureLetsGoWithThat response when an asker describes this as "the text book definition of a lich."]]
465* PsychologicalProjection: Projects their BlackAndWhiteInsanity and issues with redemption onto Drunk Chara, since Drunk Chara is TheAtoner, and while AFC!Chara would ''like'' to be TheAtoner, the aforementioned BlackAndWhiteInsanity is preventing it, and AFC!Chara is ''deeply'' in denial of this. It's easier for them to think that Drunk Chara is trying to run away from and deny their problems, instead of acknowledging that ''they're'' the one who's running away from their problems, while Drunk Chara is the one trying to confront said problems.
466* RedemptionRejection: They're fixated on the belief that either they're right and the world is irredeemable... or they're wrong and ''they'' are the irredeemable one. Whenever someone (asker or in-comic) brings up the possibility that nothing is irredeemable and they can make a HeelFaceTurn, they dismiss it, getting angry and defensive if the matter is pressed.
467* RedEyesTakeWarning: In their first appearance, Chara was grayscale with red eyes. In later appearances, they're drawn in red, so it still applies.
468* ReformedButRejected: [[spoiler: A downplayed example. At the end of the "The Most Fabulous Place On Earth"-arc they express genuine regret over all the horrible things they've done and while they're accepted into the family easily enough (in no small part thanks to Frisk and a newly revived Asriel vouching for them) several characters remain cautious of them, with Sans outright threatening to ''kill'' them if they try any funny business and Toriel retroactively doubting her decision to take them back so quickly after all the harm they had caused up until that point.]]
469* TheDeterminator: They were determined to rid the world of evil. At first, they thought humanity was evil as a result of their DarkAndTroubledPast, and then they thought Monsters were evil as a result of that first kill of the genocide run (after they already gained EXP from killing pirates and their LV dropped as they felt guilt), giving what they described as a rush of power and began killing as a result. Now, they seem determined to be a better person as a result of Frisk giving them a [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre much-needed speech on how much they hated who they were and how much Chara helped them become the true pacifist they are now with their funny observations, words of encouragement, and reminders to stay determined and that it wasn't too late to become a better person.]]
470* TraumaCongaLine: See DarkAndTroubledPast above. It all went downhill from there until they met the Dreemurs... and we know what happened after '''that.'''
471* TraumaInducedAmnesia: [[spoiler:After their DespairEventHorizon, they forget who they were, leading to them believing their Callalied persona is the real them. It's unclear whether the amnesia was done deliberately or not.]]
472* VillainousBreakdown: Spends the second half of ''Eclipse Total!'' in one, caused by being forced to confront their toxic viewpoint by the askers and Drunk Chara themselves.
473* VillainsOutShopping: Seeing as they're the one who knitted Asgore's Mr. Dad Guy sweater, it's apparent that they like knitting. At one point, the askers spy them knitting for seemingly no reason.
474* WalkingSpoiler: Qualifies as this after [[WhamEpisode certain developments]]. Specifcally, [[spoiler:anything relating to their skeleton form, both pre- and post-recovery from amnesia, is a huge spoiler]].
475
476!!Narrator[[spoiler:/Perseverance/Paolo Ruiz]]
477Narrator to the story. They are sentient with their own thoughts and opinions. Really doesn't like Maverick, and takes as many chances as possible to describe him in an unflattering manner.
478----
479* AmbiguousGender: The straightest example in the comic. Not even they are entirely sure what they identify as.
480* BerserkButton: Don't interrupt or screw up their narrations, they take their work seriously.
481* CanonCharacterAllAlong: [[spoiler:Their identity turns out to be that of the Purple Soul.]]
482* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Well, they ARE the Narrator.
483* HiddenDepths: A longer appearance in ¡Eclipse Total! has them question their existence and role aside from narrating, worried that they only exist to ''be'' the narrator.
484** [[spoiler:It is later revealed that they are one of the fallen humans, by the name of Paolo.]]
485* LemonyNarrator: At times, especially towards Maverick.
486
487!!Camera Person[[spoiler:/Patience/Erika]]
488The individual that decides what the audience/askers get to see.
489----
490* AdaptationalBadass: In the AFAC Hunger Games, she places third and manages to kill Sans and Flowey, two of the hardest bosses in the game.
491* CanonCharacterAllAlong: [[spoiler:They are one of the fallen humans (the cyan soul).]]
492* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin
493* [[{{Seers}} Seer]]: [[spoiler:According to [[WordOfGod TQ]], has [[http://askfriskandcompany.tumblr.com/post/161742001132/is-erica-still-blind-now-that-shes-dead-can-she scrying magic.]]]]
494** BlindSeer: ZigZagged. After [[spoiler:becoming a ghost, she ''can'' see through her ghost eyes, but she neglects this due to being blind while they were alive]].
495
496!!Ask Filter[[spoiler:/Justice/Blake]]
497The person that filters out asks that shouldn't get sent through to the cast.
498----
499* BerserkButton: Gets ticked off immensely by being blamed for [[spoiler:letting asks trying to get Chara to attack ADC!Frisk through]]. Afterwards, gets angry at the Messenger for letting misgendering askers through.
500* CanonCharacterAllAlong: [[spoiler:They are one of the fallen humans — the yellow soul.]]
501* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin
502* HandBlast: [[spoiler:They can fire magic beams with a FingerGun.]]
503* TalkToTheFist: A variant. [[spoiler:After TheReveal that Blake filters the asks, a stupid ask pops up. Blake shoots it without hesitation.]]
504* SelectiveEnforcement: Is willing to allow through at least one ask that would emotionally harm Asgore, despite their job being to destroy such asks and their efforts to do so for every ''other'' character. The Messenger calls them out on this.
505
506!!Ask Messenger[[spoiler:/Integrity/Oscar]]
507They send asks approved by the Ask Filter (or that slipped by them) through to the cast.
508----
509* TheGadfly: Likes sending asks that will annoy/provoke an amusing reaction from the cast.
510-->'''[[spoiler:Danny]]''' (during a tug-o-war over an ask): Stop!! Don't bother them!! They're having a nice moment!
511-->'''[[spoiler:Oscar]]''': That's exactly why I want to bother them!
512* IncomingHam: "It was I! [[spoiler:Oscar! Soul of Integrity!!]]" ''*guitar sting*''
513* ItAmusedMe: They will let through asks that they think will lead to entertaining reactions. One example cited in a CallBack is when they allowed asks that misgendered Frisk to get through to Aidrian.
514* PragmaticHero: Only lets through asks that they either [[ItAmusedMe find funny]] or believe would serve a good purpose in the end. They will allow asks that [[spoiler:get Chara to stop their violent deeds and confront themself]], but won't let through asks that demonize Asgore for no good reason.
515* ShipperOnDeck: ''Very'' enthusiastic to send ''certain'' messages regarding Asgore and Janet's relationship through, though it's clear that this is at least partially out of [[ForTheLulz wanting to see their reactions]].
516* WellIntentionedExtremist: They let through some rather...unsavory asks that [[spoiler:didn't do any good for Chara's mentality]]. However, they say they did so to [[spoiler:get Chara to confront their toxic mindset]], and that seems to have worked.
517--->"After all...[[spoiler:they put the knife down, didn't they]]."
518
519!!Delivery Person[[spoiler:/Kindness/Danny]]
520They send items provided by askers through to the characters. At least they used to.
521----
522* ActualPacifist: Implied. They apparently stopped sending items through after Aidrian recieved the "Frictionless Frying Pan of Unspeakable Mediocrity," commenting that "frying pans shouldn't be used to hurt people." [[spoiler:This is especially notable due not only to their trait being Kindness, but also the fact that the "weapon" associated with them in the game was a frying pan, meaning they either never hurt anyone, or they did and are undergoing MyGodWhatHaveIDone.]]
523* MomentKiller: [[DefiedTrope Defies the trope]] by stopping [[spoiler:Oscar]] from sending [[spoiler:Asgore and Janet]] shipping asks because "they're having a nice moment".
524
525!!Ask Censor[[spoiler:/Bravery/Hanah]]
526The person who censors foul language in the comic.
527----
528* EpicFail: In the AFAC Hunger Games, they somehow manage to starve to death ''two days in'' (which is far sooner than people begin dying of hunger). The creator wonders if they fasted before the games.
529* GoshDangItToHeck: Their first line is this, combined with complaining about all the cursing in the comic.
530* HiddenDepths: Understands Kayfabe and quickly realizes how the heroes can use it to minimize the damage from the Aidrian-Flowers fight.
531* IncomingHam: Their first line is yelling at askers for using too much swearing. They bond with [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike fellow ham Oscar]] over the concept of kayfabe, even trading examples.
532* WhatTheHellHero: Calls out askers for their foul language. "MY EARS AREN'T TRASH CANS YA GOSH DIDDLY DARN HOOLIGANS!"
533[[/folder]]
534
535[[folder:Crossover Characters]]
536%%Note: this folder should ''only'' be used for characters that appeared in [=AFAC=] as part of a crossover, not ones that other characters met while in the other blog's universe. Similarly, only use tropes relevant to the crossover.
537!!MWSIH!Gaster/"Goopster"
538An alternate version of Gaster, protagonist of ''Webcomic/ManWhoSpeaksInHands''. Ends up in Ask Frisk and Company after discovering a portal in his "grey room."
539----
540* BerserkButton: His first reaction to meeting Flowey is to attempt to blow him into oblivion for what he did during ''Undertale'' canon and a previous ''MWSIH'' arc.
541* InSeriesNickname: Referred to as "Goopster," a reference to how he is seemingly made of goop (and is liable to literally melt).
542
543!!Drunk Chara/"Bottles"
544An aged up version of Chara from [[http://ask-drunk-chara.tumblr.com Ask Drunk Chara]], who happens to be alcoholic. They wind up in ''AFAC'' after falling down a manhole.
545----
546* TheAlcoholic: He's called drunk for a reason.
547* TheAtoner: A major difference between him and AFAC!Chara — he recognizes his sins, regrets them, and has moved on.
548* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:Gets possessed by AFAC!Chara.]]
549* DistractedByTheSexy: Gets distracted by shirtless ADC!Frisk. It causes their mindscape to turn pink and sparkly, much to AFAC!Chara's annoyance.
550* GoodCounterpart: They're basically what AFAC!Chara might have been if their HeelRealization had fully sunken in. Askers even point out that for all their issues and regret over their past actions (the reason why they drink so heavily), they're a lot happier living with their friends and family than the Chara who is plotting to destroy the world.
551* {{Hypocrite}}: AFAC!Chara ''calls'' him this because he's scared of AFAC!Chara and is TheAtoner ("You apparently think you can make it all better by being sorry"), but it's pretty clearly because AFAC!Chara is projecting their own issues with the idea of redemption onto him, [[SubvertedTrope rather than Drunk Chara actually being hypocritical]].
552* OtherMeAnnoysMe: He's ''terrified'' of AFAC!Chara, because that Chara is a lot like him before he repented.
553
554!!ADC!Frisk
555Ask Drunk Chara's incarnation of Frisk, who is also aged up. They are currently dating Drunk Chara, but no one else knows yet ([[SecretSecretKeeper except ADC!Asriel]]).
556----
557* AllLovingHero: Tries to reach out to AFAC!Chara when it's clear that they are suffering an emotional breakdown.
558* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Their first appearance in the pages of AFAC is them showing up in Drunk Chara's mind to ward off [[DemonicPossession AFAC!Chara]].]]
559* MrFanservice: Their attire in [[spoiler:Drunk Chara's mindscape]] includes a vest with no shirt. There's a reason [[spoiler:everything in the mindscape goes bright and sparkly when Drunk Chara spots them]].
