Personal History: History

Personality:

Asriel is a friendly and caring child, who goes out of his way to help others. When the first human, Chara, fell into the Underground, it was Asriel who found them. After seeing how badly injured Chara was and hearing their calls for help, Asriel came to their rescue and took them back to his parents to treat their wounds. Despite not knowing much about Chara, Asriel readily accepted them into his family and grew attached to them as both a friend and sibling. Judging by his incredibly strong attachment to Chara, it's implied that they were really Asriel's only friend. But as far as Asriel was concerned, Chara was the only friend he needed. A lot of his free time was spent playing with Chara, and the both of them indulged in games and pranks. Asriel himself even showed off his mischievous side around Chara by playing light-hearted pranks of his own, even managing to trick Chara into smiling for him when he pretends to use a camera to film him.

Even though Asriel is kind and gentle to those around him, his kindness leads him to be somewhat of a pushover. He's described as being a crybaby, to the point where Chara scolds him for it. And when he feels guilty or ashamed of something he's done, it sticks with him for a long time. For example, when he and Chara bake a cake for their father, they accidentally use the wrong ingredients that make him really sick. When Chara brings it up later, Asriel confesses that he wished he could've laughed it off like they did.

Asriel is heavily influenced by Chara and looks up to them, which makes it easy for Asriel to get dragged into their plans. Chara encouraged Asriel to help them find a way to free the monsters of the Underground. Asriel, who deeply trusted Chara, wanted to do his part to help set everyone free. So when Chara came up with the idea to poison themselves and have Asriel absorb his soul to break through the barrier, Asriel reluctantly agreed to their plan. Although for Asriel, he was naive enough to not fully realize the consequences of their plan. When Chara died after poisoning themselves, Asriel immediately became distraught and wracked with guilt at losing his friend. Still, he remained committed to their plan of freeing the Underground and took Chara's soul and body to the surface. Unfortunately, despite Asriel having complete faith in Chara's plan, Chara attempts to take control of his body to attack the humans once they were on the surface. Asriel, unwilling to cause any harm to the humans, resisted Chara's control and was killed by the humans on the surface. Asriel's death resulted in him being reborn later as Flowey.

Flowey the Flower is the soulless form of Asriel. And since a soul is a vital to monsters in order to feel love and compassion, Asriel is reborn without being able to express any of the love or kindness he had prior to his death. All of his feelings of despair and loneliness are expressed through Flowey, usually when he interacts with Frisk on his journey. During the genocide route, Flowey tells a story about how he woke up in the garden, terrified when he couldn't feel his arms or legs. After being found and cared for by his parents, he realized that he doesn't feel anything for them in return. In an attempt to find something that can make him feel love again, and by extension, happiness, he leaves his parents behind. But despite helping as many people as he can, and then using his new powers of "resetting" to kill everyone, he still feels just as empty and unable to feel any kind of joy.

Asriel ultimately adopts the philosophy of "kill or be killed" after he becomes Flowey. Because of his and Chara's deaths, he becomes jaded and guilt-ridden over his decision to refuse to fight back when he was being attacked. He ends up blaming himself for their deaths, and assumes that the rest of the world is a place where only the strongest and the ones willing to kill are the only ones worthy of surviving.

Asriel tries forcing this belief onto Frisk, in an attempt to mold Frisk to be more like Chara. At every step of Frisk's journey, Asriel as Flowey tries to challenge Frisk's ideals. In the genocide route, if Frisk does adopt a "kill or be killed" attitude and becomes Chara, Asriel expresses joy and relief at having his friend back. But his joy ends up turning to fear when he realizes that Chara will kill him without hesitation. In the pacifist route, Asriel tries to project Chara onto Frisk in a desperate attempt to have his friend back. And more importantly, Asriel is so desperately lonely that he's willing to ignore that Frisk isn't Chara and begs him to stay with him. Asriel even goes as far as absorbing all the souls in the Underground, gaining a god-like power, in order to reset everything so that he can go back to be a happy, carefree child. Or at least, he wants to keep "Chara" from leaving him again.

After being defeated and saved by Frisk, Asriel shows disgust at his behavior as Flowey. He tells Frisk that he did so many horrible things to his friends and family. He even tries to distance himself from his actions a little, saying to Frisk how he "did some pretty weird stuff as a flower". He never wanted to be the cause of someone else's suffering, which is why he struggles so much accepting the things he did as Flowey. He refuses to see his parents before they leave for the surface because he doesn't want to break their hearts when he has to return to being a soulless flower again.

Asriel then makes the ultimate sacrifice. He gives up the souls he absorbed to break the barrier and free all monsters, while knowing it would mean he'd return to being the soulless Flowey again. While this wouldn't be an easy decision to make, Asriel makes it without hesitation, which shows Asriel's inner strength and how he faces hard decisions. Even at the cost of himself and his own happiness, he still tries to do what's best for others. While he doesn't regret his decision, he does sadly admit that he doesn't want to let go when Frisk comforts him. All this shows that despite having his moments of being a pushover, Asriel is extremely strong-willed individual.

Despite everything, Asriel still holds onto his cynical view of the world. He mentions to Frisk that not all problems can be solved by being nice, and there's a lot of "Floweys" out on the surface. This outlook is partially influenced by all the hatred and pain that Asriel felt as Flowey, which caused him to lose his child-like innocence. Despite his somewhat bitter attitude, he still encourages and believes in Frisk's kindness. So even though he can't be completely saved, he's still shown that there's hope for both humans and monsters.

Key themes: Grief and having to let go of something in order to grow.

Main Motivation: Asriel's main motivation is him gaining the power of the six SOULs, and taking control of the timeline. He wants to reset it, so that "Chara" (Frisk) will be forced to play with him forever.

Skills:

Asriel has an ability that all monsters share, and that's the ability to absorb human souls once a human is killed. He also has the potential to learn fire magic, as both of his parents possess this ability and it's one of his attacks in the true pacifist ending. But he doesn't seem to know how to use fire magic before he becomes Flowey. The fire magic his parents appear as fireballs, and in his mother's case, she also uses it for cooking.

After being turned into Flowey, Asriel gains the power of "saving" and "resetting". It essentially means that Asriel can travel back to any point in time he "saved" at, and from there create a new timeline. And if he doesn't like how the new timeline turned out? He can reset back to his save point so that he can start over as many times as he wants. Additionally, Flowey has the ability to change the shape of his face to whatever he wants.

When Asriel absorbs multiple human souls, he gains an almost god-like power which he uses in two ways. During the first fight with Asriel as Flowey, he alters his form into a giant, terrifying flower monster and traps Frisk in a world devoid of any life other than the two of them. During that fight, Asriel uses all kinds of attacks - lasers, flamethrowers, vines, even attacks that are based on the personalities of the human souls he absorbed.

During Frisk's second fight with Asriel, he absorbs the human souls plus the soul of every monster in the Underground. This gives Asriel enough power to change his form into what Asriel envisions his adult self to be like. And in this form he gains an incredible strength and power, being able to use swords, powerful lightening attacks, and lasers.

Item: A golden flower.

Sample:

Asriel listened to Frisk's footsteps as they walked away, counted them until he couldn't hear them anymore. There was something so... final, about the silence that followed their departure. It was unsettling, even if Asriel should be happy for Frisk. Even if he should be happy that the reason the Underground was quiet was because the monsters that lived there were moving on to better lives.

He hated the silence.

There's dread in silence. It reminded him of Chara's final moments, where the only thing that Asriel could hear was the sound of his dying sibling's breath growing quieter as they held onto those last few minutes of life. Asriel counted then too. The number of times their chest rose and fell, the number of quiet noises they made before they couldn't make anymore noise. And the silence then was so suffocating as he waited, desperately wishing it wasn't too late to back out of the plan they both had made.

This silence now was a lot like the silence then. Waiting for something inevitable. It'd be nice, wouldn't it? If he could just stay this way and be Asriel forever. He could go back to being the kind, gentle prince of the Underground and go with the other monsters to see the surface. He could even see his mom and dad again. Maybe even the monsters wouldn't hate his guts if he told them who he was and what he'd done!

Not likely, right? Not like it mattered anyway. The only thing waiting for him was Flowey. And every last drop of love and compassion leftover from the monster and humans SOULs that used to be inside him would be wiped away. Asriel tries to remember how he feels in these last moments, looking up at the small patch of light coming in through the ceiling.

"Chara...? If... if you're there, if you're there at all... I'm not going to be Asriel much longer, so if you can hear me...

... I'd like to hear your voice again, even if it's just one more time."

He calls out, desperately hoping he just hear their voice. But no matter how long he waits, no one answers him.

He really does hate the silence.
