My design of StoryShift (I think that's the AU name) Frisk! You know, I kinda wondered why some designs with Frisk or Chara in the Shifts AUs never played with some slight clothes changing. I mean, a human (or a demon in Chara's case) has to be real cold in Snowdin, right? Though, I will admit I only added the Hotland design because I wanted a more aesthetic and prettier look lol.

Forgive my handwriting and the fact that the "comic" is basically just copy and paste, but I wanted to just get my concept across.

I feel like making either Frisk or Chara simply a reskin of Sans and have another Sans Fight Version 91028832 is a bit of a waste. Why not explore the fact these two have meta world abilities that may conflict with the Player? Since Sans essentially is just trying to make you give up rather than defeating you (since you come back), I wanted to use the fact that in the original game, Frisk/Player comes back over and over by SAVING and LOADING. Here, in my own version of this AU, rather than you/the Player being the one coming back, it's Frisk. Sans is "unkillable" by being able to dodge attacks, here Frisk is also "unkillable" by abusing YOUR SAVE file (like how Frisk will abuse theirs in Undertale).

Frisk doesn't fight you, they let themselves be killed, then they'll LOAD. It's completely not a good design for an actual game fight, but since Undertale was supposed to sort of go against the typical JRPG at that time, why not insert a most unfair, annoying, and completely time-consuming boss fight where the boss can basically heal?

I think the only way to beat Frisk to chip down their DETERMINATION rather than their HP or Stamina, by ACTING than FIGHTING, like taunting them or mocking them or something. Like a cruel irony of what you'd usually do in a Pacifist run, where you need to ACT before you can spare certain enemies.

Also, I wasn't able to insert a bit of info in the comic, but Frisk in my version of this AU was only able to manipulate the Player's SAVE file basically right before the Judgement Hall, before then the options appeared but were unresponsive, so Frisk couldn't stop the Player at the start of the Genocide run.

Anyways, life is kicking my ass and I only have little rest time, thanks for reading my delusions.
