Glitchtale Theory: Frisk’s Origins EXPLAINED!
I basically copied and pasted most of this from my original post on Amino cause I’m lazy and it took so long for me to post the original one. ;-;
This is proof this theory is originally mine.
There have been people that have been speculating about the mystery and origins behind the original protagonist of Glitchtale, Frisk.
This was originally going to be a theory based by the video by SpiffyZGames, who had a theory about Frisk's relatives.
But I suddenly realized I might've figured out Frisk's origins. This theory will partially explain Frisk's connection with Betty and Chara, but it won't be focusing on it.
Now let's get to it!
To know about his origins, we have to delve deeper.
This is a confirmed theory made by abcightdev. In this theory, it's been confirmed that the world has been acting as a Game.
And after the events of "My Promise", fans have connected the dots and realized that this is because of Gaster's experiment before the events of the game.
I always believed that the experiment was the reason for Frisk's existence. And one day, Camila finally revealed what the experiment was for.
Gaster was trying to create/use an artificial soul.
And you might know where I'm going with this.
That artificial soul...
The one that Gaster tried to create or use...
...Is Frisk's Soul.
The fact that Frisk might have had an artificial soul might've been the answer to almost everything that we came to know about Frisk.
Even the game is hinting this. Frisk was recognized as a human in a pacifist route and a neutral route, but they were not recognized as a human in a Genocide Route, but they were recognized as a type of monster.
(Insert 2 Photos)
This also answers a question that someone asked Camila about Frisk.
Camila didn't exactly stayed silent when this was asked. They said something in morse code.
"See"
I thought what Camila meant by this is "see for yourself.”. I decided to see if Camila hinted this in her episodes. And I saw one that was actually in the very first episode.
Megalomaniac.
Multiple times through the video, did anyone noticed that everytime Frisk dies, he just disappears? Look at one of them.
I'm pretty sure that's not natural for a human, as humans have a lot of physical matter, their corpse would basically just... lying there. Even monster leaves something behind when they die (Dust). But Frisk? The only thing they leave behind is their soul. Not one trace of their body being there.
And in Undertale, when you play a Genocide Route, Asgore, someone who grew up with humans in Glitchtale, gets confused by Frisk and recognizes them as a strange monster.
Which is... odd. Asgore grew up around humans, and if he doesn’t recognize Frisk as one, then there’s more to Frisk than just a “human.”
The origins of Frisk's soul might also be the explanation of Frisk's connection with Chara and Gaster.
Someone else has already talked about this in Tumblr here.
agentravensong pointed out the foreshadowing of the events of My Promise that Camila has given. This person also explained the parallels between Gaster and Frisk.
That isn't the only connection there.
It might've been just me, but while I was thinking about this theory, I suddenly remembered the tune of Frisk's Theme, Bring It On, and I remembered Gaster's theme from Undertale as well. I tried comparing the two and realized that Frisk's Theme might've been a leitmotif to Gaster's Theme the whole time due to how it sounds so eerily similar to Gaster’s theme in Undertale.
I thought these connections have something to do with the experiment, and I realized it might've been. Gaster needed to use Determination to make that experiment. What if some of that determination was used for Frisk's soul? Gaster also makes some comments about Frisk's soul, written in Wingdings in the episode My Sunshine. (Information from Wiki)
It's been mentioned that Determination is the "Will to Live", so it's likely that Gaster tried making his own determination to help the soul persist after death. Camila wouldn't create these connections for no reason.
I also wanna talk about Chara.
I knew that Frisk and Chara were connected in a way, but back then, I couldn't figure out how and why. Until I remembered something from Undertale.
The artificial soul cannot be created without SOUL power. And since it can't be created artificially, Gaster would have to get it from another soul. And in the True Lab, there is a Red Heart seen in some kind of machine that powers things in the True Lab.
And the Wiki reveals that Gaster was trying to use the human souls.
It's likely that Chara's soul power from his original soul was used for the artificial soul. Now I know what you're thinking.
"Why don't they use Chara's soul!? They've got seven souls, so they could destroy the barrier! What's the point with creating another soul!?"
It's likely that Asgore refuses to use Chara's soul for the destruction of the barrier. Chara was a part of the Dreemurr family. Chara is too important, so Asgore, knowing him, wouldn't want to use that soul. It's likely that the other monsters aren't actually aware of this.
Camila also revealed that Chara's determination is far more powerful than Frisk's, also once mentioning that if Chara were to grow up, he would be as strong as Copper.
The soul power of the other souls likely did not work, so they had to use Chara's.
Besides, Frisk mentions something interesting in My Promise.
Frisk mentions “multiple” experiments. This makes me believe that this isn’t the first one to be made. Cami did mention that Gaster was “trying to create artificial SOULS”, don’t forget the S at the end!
This means that Frisk's soul might've been created from Chara's.
Which means they’re...
*GASP*
They’re actually brothers! :O
Well, brothers when it comes to their souls. :P
This answers two other questions Camila has been asked.
Frisk never actually climbed the Mountain and fell... He came into existence the moment we first enter the game. We never see Frisk fall. And he never mentioned the time he fell into the Underground. When we first saw Frisk, we just see him standing on Chara's grave, facing the screen.
We don't even see him lying there and get up.
This would also answer the other question.
I believe sometime after Flowey's reign, the game decide to have someone else as the player, so it created a vessel for the artificial soul.
Wait, this means that Frisk is also made by the game like Betty...
Soooo... This means that this crazy girl that is killing his friends and family turns out to be his.. sister..?
...
So she wasn’t kidding about “History Repeats Itself”, huh...
Now there’s this question.
“Does anyone else know?”
Well, there was one person I believe knew this.
Chara.
Camila states that Chara was the one who truly knew Frisk’s true nature.
I believe no one else knew about this, not even by Sans or Gaster. I once checked and realized that Frisk might’ve not been called “Human” in Glitchtale.
This leaves one final thing.
When Asriel and Chara's memories have been changed, Chara has been saved from HATE, and the other six souls MADE a soul for Asriel.
What does this mean, exactly?
The souls must’ve used SOUL POWER to create Asriel’s soul.
And Asriel’s soul has DETERMINATION, and from their memories, this possibly came from Asriel’s DETERMINATION as Flowey.
The soul was made just like the way I described how Frisk’s soul is created in their changed memories. And the game wouldn’t change their memories to the way they are now if it wasn’t possible.
This amazing series is created by @camilaart !
