Character name: Asriel Dreemurr
Age: Roughly around 10 years old
Canon: Undertale
Canonpoint: Post true pacifist ending
Background: Asriel's history here.
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.
Wish:
"I don't want to forget how to feel love."
Kyubey appears right as Frisk leaves Asriel to join the other monsters as they leave the Underground, whisking Asriel away from the ruins. As Kyubey offers Asriel a wish, he hesitantly asks for the one thing that will keep him from turning back into a flower:
Love.
After absorbing the souls of six humans, along with every monster in the Underground, Asriel became unspeakably powerful. But with several souls inside of him, making up for his lack of a soul, he was also able to regain the love and compassion that he desperately longed for as Flowey. With the souls' power, he's able to regain his child-like form and finally feel whole again. However, he ends up giving up the souls to break the barrier that's sealing monsters in so that everyone can go free. Without those souls, he's doomed to ultimately stop feeling love and return to the heartless and cruel form of Flowey.
When Kyubey asks him what his wish is, he doesn't think to ask for his own soul. Instead, he wants to hang onto what it feels like to experience love and empathy for others. He doesn't want to forget what love feels like more than anything.
Power:
For Asriel's passive ability, he'll gain the ability to comfort others by touching or hugging them. Anyone that comes into contact with Asriel will be reminded of a memory that makes them happy, a familiar scent, a pleasant song, or the feeling of someone they deeply care about being next to them. It's an ability that's at its strongest the more someone is upset, and it can be used to calm or comfort upset teammates.
Asriel's active ability consists of many large, strong vines that will emerge from the ground and wrap themselves around the enemy in a "hug". While the ability itself can't hurt the enemy, it can delay enemy attacks or even keep the enemy restrained long enough while either Asriel or someone else attacks. Asriel can also use the vines for climbing.
Weapon: A curved saber.
Sample:
"W-wait, hold on! I'm not sure I can..."
Asriel's voice is cut off as his vision fades, his last thoughts filled with the explanation Kyubey gave him right before granting him his wish. Magi. Nightmares. Witches. He had so many more questions about them, but when he returns to consciousness, Asriel finds himself in a the middle of a... village?
He searches for Kyubey, but the cat-like creature has already vanished. Instead, he's left with the warm sensation of sunlight and new sights and scents all around him. It all feels so surreal, like he's in the middle of a peaceful dream.
Asriel stares down at his hands, still covered in white fur. He doesn't feel any different from the time he said goodbye to Frisk. No vines or flower petals sprouting from his arms or legs, or anything weird like that. But even still, he's not sure if being here means he's only delayed the inevitable. Part of him wants to run away. He wants to be far, far away from anyone if he really does turn back into a flower. The other part of him wants to know if Kyubey really did give him his wish.
"... I'm supposed to be a defender of humanity."
Even muttering it to himself, he only manages a weak smile. After everything, it didn't seem like a very good role for him. It'd be a more fitting role for Frisk, who was willing to put themselves in harm's way just to save Asriel. If anything, Frisk was the one who should've gotten that wish.
"Is this so I can make up for what I did? But after all I did..."
He catches a woman glancing over at him from a few feet away. Asriel freezes in uncertainty, too afraid to move. She doesn't scream at him though, and she even offers him a pleasant little smile. It's confusing, but after a few seconds he raises his hand in an awkward little wave and offers a nervous smile in return. No reason for him to be rude to a friendly-looking person, after all.
"Um... h-howdy! Can you help me? I'm a little lost."
