Character History:
Asriel is the former prince of the Underground, born to Toriel and Asgore after the war between humans and monsters. Despite all of monsterkind being sealed under a mountain by humans, Asriel grew up in a warm and loving home, living a somewhat lonely life of being an only child.
At least, until a human child fell into the Underground several years later. Asriel discovered them, and took them back to his parents. The human, Chara, was adopted by the royal family and Asriel quickly accepted Chara as his new sibling.
For a while, life seemed simple for the Dreemurr family. Chara and Asriel played together, and the monster kingdom saw Chara as their only hope of one day escaping their prison. There were some occasional tense moments between the Dreemurrs, such as when Asriel and Chara baked Asgore a pie and accidentally used poisonous flowers as ingredients. But otherwise, they were a fairly happy family.
While Asriel was videotaping Chara one day, Chara tells Asriel to turn off the camera. They reveal a plan to free all of monsterkind, but at a cost: Chara's life. If Chara were to die, Asriel could absorb their SOUL, become powerful enough to cross the barrier, and gather enough human SOULs needed to break the barrier keeping monsters trapped underground. Asriel's very reluctant to do it, but is persuaded to go along with the plan. Chara uses poisonous flowers to make themselves ill, and eventually it takes their life. Asriel absorbs their SOUL, and takes his sibling's body to the surface.
Upon reaching the surface, humans from a nearby village see Asriel holding Chara's body. Assuming that Asriel killed them, they attack Asriel and fatally wound him. Asriel doesn't fight back, instead returning to the Underground before turning to dust in his parents' garden.
Asgore declares war on humanity, and Alphys goes to work as a royal scientist. She experiments with Determination, a power that exists only in humans. After extracting Determination from the human SOULs that Asgore collected, she tries injecting a single golden flower in Asgore's garden to give it life. A flower that was covered in Asriel's dust when he died.
Asriel returns to life, but as a flower. He panics as he can't feel his arms and legs. His SOUL is gone as well, shattered after his death. And without his SOUL, Asriel is unable to feel any kind of love or compassion for others.
Asriel tries to reunite with his parents, but quickly becomes unhappy when he realizes that he doesn't feel anything for them. Unable to care for anyone and with Chara gone for good, Asriel tries to take his own life. But as he tries, he suddenly becomes afraid of what will happen to something that doesn't have a SOUL. Suddenly desperate to live, Asriel wakes up back in the garden.
Discovering his newfound powers of Determination, and the ability to reset timelines through "SAVE"s and "RESET"s, Asriel began to experiment with his new power. He used it to solve every problem he could, get difference reactions out of his fellow monsters, and basically do everything he possibly could do in the Underground. He even resorted to killing everyone, before resetting the timeline back to the beginning and doing it all over again. But even with his new power, it still wasn't enough to satisfy Asriel. He soon grew bored of doing the same things over and over.
At least until another human fell, and things finally got interesting.
Upon meeting Frisk after they fall, Asriel introduces himself as "Flowey" and gives Frisk a seemingly friendly tutorial of how the Underground works. He offers to share some "LOVE" with Frisk, by giving them "friendless pellets". It turns out to be a trick, as Flowey attempts to get Frisk to run directly into his attack. Toriel intervenes, using fire magic to knock Flowey away and save Frisk before he kills them.
Frisk meets Flowey again after they get past Toriel. He taunts Frisk and their moral choices, telling them that this world is "kill or be killed". If Frisk chooses not to kill anyone, Flowey will question how long they can continue down that path. If Frisk kills Toriel and resets, Flowey will call them out on it, as well as recognize that Frisk has the same power that he does. At that point, he'll notice that Frisk's power overrides his to the point where he can't "SAVE" or "RESET" anymore. Finding Frisk interesting, Flowey chooses to be an observer as Frisk continues their journey through the Underground. He follows them, occasionally leaving little taunts here and there, such as telling an echo flower that Toriel will replace Frisk with another child.
Flowey doesn't appear again until Frisk spares Asgore in their final battle. As Asgore and Frisk talk, Flowey kills him and steals the six human SOULs being held by Asgore. Absorbing the SOULs, Flowey turns into Omega Flowey and uses his new powers to trap Frisk in a strange, black void. Asriel and Frisk fight, but Flowey is defeated when the six SOULs he absorbed turn against him to help Frisk. He loses his powers, reduced to a torn-up little flower at Frisk's mercy.
If Frisk chooses to spare Flowey, he will get confused by Frisk's decision and run away. He appears later on, questioning Frisk's kindness before offering some advice to Frisk on how they can get a better ending for everyone.
After Frisk follows Flowey's advice and resets, Flowey shows up again as Frisk's friends interrupt their battle with Asgore. Flowey takes all of them hostage and this time, he absorbs the SOULs of the six humans along with every monster in the Underground.
After absorbing all of these SOULs, Flowey is restored to the childlike form of Asriel. He greets Frisk briefly, before transforming into the God of Hyperdeath: a powerful, almost godlike being. Frisk fights him again, and Asriel reveals that he plans to gain control of the timeline and reset everything, keeping Frisk trapped forever. Asriel uses his form's full power to try to wipe Frisk out for good, but Frisk hangs on with Determination and attempts to save both their friends and Asriel. Asriel pleads with Frisk, telling them that the reason he doesn't want them to win is because they'll leave him.
But eventually, Asriel is defeated. He reverts back to his childlike self, apologizing to Frisk for all the horrible things he's done. Asriel finally accepts that Frisk isn't the first fallen human and his sibling, despite the two of them sharing the same appearance. Asriel asks Frisk's real name, and tries to make amends by using the SOULs he absorbed to break the barrier and free all monsters. He says his farewell to Frisk, knowing that without any of the SOULs, he'll soon return to being Flowey.
Frisk can meet Asriel one last time in the Ruins, tending to the flowers near Toriel's home. Asriel tells Frisk that he can't go with them. He then explains that Chara hated humanity, and that when Asriel absorbed Chara's SOUL, they were the one that tried to use their power against the humans on the surface. After Asriel died, he adopted the philosophy of "kill or be killed". He admits to Frisk that he no longer regrets the decision to not fight back against the humans, and seems to have made peace with what happened. He chooses to stay in the Ruins before he turns back into Flowey, leaving Frisk to go to the surface with the other monsters.
Abilities/Special Powers: Asriel has the same ability that all monsters do, which is being able to absorb a human soul after that human dies. Doing so gives a monster immense power. He's also capable of fire magic, just like his parents. Unlike his parents, he wouldn't have a lot of experience or skill using it since he's a very young boss monster.
As Flowey, Asriel has the ability to "SAVE" and "RESET" thanks to the Determination that was injected into him. Meaning that he can establish a "save point" and return to it any time he wishes, erasing anything he's done up to that point. This power was overridden by Frisk having greater Determination than him.
Third-Person 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.
First-Person Sample:
[Asriel has stared at the blocky, palm pilot-esque device in his hand for a few minutes now. It wasn't like he didn't know how to use a cell phone or anything, that wasn't the problem. The problem was that as soon as he sent a message out, he'd be talking to everyone.
Does he even want that? Not really. But maybe if he uses the text function on this thing, no one will be able to figure out his identity.]
howdy!! i'm relly new to wonderlnd and i hav e some questions!
[Geez it's hard to type when the keys are small and you have claws. Asriel purposefully leaves out his name. No one needs to know that, right?]
ok i was wondering: are there any places that are real quiet? that don't have a whole lot of people around i mean. this place sure has a lot of people in it! it's a little overwhelming :(
[It was overwhelming, but not because Asriel dislikes being around other people. He doesn't want to hurt anyone here, and if he can just find someplace isolated enough before he turns back into Flowey...
It wasn't too late. He lasted this long, but he wasn't sure how much time he had left.]
anyway that's the most important question! i'd appreciate it if someone could tell me, thanks!

Reapp samples
[A child's drawing appears on screen, out of frame and apparently sitting on a bed.]
Can you see it? Hang on, lemme move it!
[Small, white paws push the picture into the frame, before Asriel moves the camera in closer. The drawing shows a large, slender goat monster with large horns and breathing fire. It has a pair of demon and angel wings, dressed up in a blue cloak with stars drawn on it and holding a sword and staff.]
This is my new original character! His name is Storm Thunderblade and he's the God of controlling weather! He can breathe fire, and he shoots lightening bolts from his sword! I haven't drawn the lightning bolts in yet, but he can also make all kinds of cool weather-related magic with his staff. And he has this ultimate attack, where he uses all the weather to make an unstoppable explosion by using his sword and staff together!
Isn't it cool? I thought of him last night and I just had to draw him!
Third-Person Sample:
Asriel panics for a moment as he picks off a flower petal off himself. It doesn't hurt, it doesn't feel like pulling a piece of fur off of his body. He's not sure if it's supposed to hurt, when he has to turn back into a flower. He's not really sure how any of this is supposed to work. Would it be like last time? Where he just wakes up, and he's no longer in his old body anymore? He holds the petal between his claws, looking over the shape and color. Short and white - it’s not one of his, and he feels a moment of relief. He still has a little more time left, at least for now.
How much time he does have left, he’s not sure. It feels like he's been sitting here forever, alone in the Ruins. He wonders if Frisk and the other monsters have made it to the Surface by now. Probably not all of them yet, moving entire cities and homes wasn't something that could happen overnight. But he wishes he could see their faces, the moment they get to see the sun for the first time. He bets some of them probably looked just as surprised as he did when he first stepped out of the Underground. He can almost picture their funny, shocked expressions... right before it turns to joyous realization that they're finally free. And maybe... maybe so much time has passed already that he's not going to turn back into Flowey. Maybe he'd stay this way, and he can go rush out to meet Frisk, his family, and everyone else! He could go with them, start his life all over again like he never died!
... Haha, that’s a pretty fun joke, isn’t it? Getting to start all over, like he hadn’t ruined all of their lives. Even if he could go... they’d be happier if he just stayed here and they could move on. Besides, Chara will get lonely here by themself. Still, he wonders what they’ll do on the Surface. Maybe humans are nicer now, and will greet them with open arms (not likely). Maybe his mom will have the dream life she always wanted, replacing all the pictures of him and Chara with pictures of Frisk growing up.
Ah, that’s a mean thought, isn’t it? He should be happy for her. She has Frisk now, and he made Frisk promise to take care of his mom and dad.
“Say, Chara. What do you think we’d do if we were on the Surface right now?”
There’s no answer, of course. Chara’s been gone a long time now. But Asriel can’t think of anyone else he’d rather talk to right now.
His nose tickles, and Asriel pulls a flower petal off his nose. It surprises him when it hurts.
Ah. It seems like he doesn’t have any time left after all.
