HYDE Alt 2022 - Eldritch Frisk
Art Page - Master Post - Patreon
Explanation: 'HYDE Alt' is short for HYPERDEATH Alternate, a planned reboot for my old Glitchtale AU, Glitchtale Alternate (an AU of an Undertale AU, I know...). This never came to fruition as I only got one chapter into the series and I was slowly losing interest in some of the other series I had planned to integrate into the AU. And in hindsight what I had planned would have been too niche and eclectic to gain a proper audience. Some say play into your niches, but this is a case where I firmly believe it would NOT have worked out.

As for why this ties heavily into ULTRAMagic Alternate lore, it is because at the time, the ULTRAMagic Alternate we know today did not exist. Originally I intended ULTRAMagic Alternate to be a companion story to HYPERDEATH Alternate, but ultimately I gravitated towards ULTRAMagic Alternate due to it being completely original and I divorced it from the Undertale AU and fan fiction elements. I am posting this here because I think these drawings turned out great by 2022 standards and some concepts here have been repurposed for ULTRAMagic Alternate lore.

Many timelines exist in the multiverse. It's a large place whose limits have yet to be discovered. It stands to reason that some timelines lose members of that timeline, for one reason or another. In a universe where the monsters of the Dreemurr kingdom made it to the surface, all was not well. Frisk and the monster still had conflict to deal with in the form of an ancient darkness that had been sealed away under Mt. Ebott. Frisk tried his best, but his determination wavered and he passed his duty on to a close friend. What happened next was him fading from reality, in a process referred to as Zeroing-out. His resolve had been called into question so much that he could no longer bear it. What awaited him was the void. As he drifted, he was caught by a chaotic mass of spheres and lights. This was an immensely powerful entity beyond comprehension, named Yog-Sothoth. Seeing that the boy had abandoned his power, Yog offered Frisk something different: Knowledge. This knowledge would allow Frisk to understand reality (to a degree) and go wherever he pleased (within reason). After spending the equivalent of several eons with Yog, Frisk set out into a realm called the Unlight.
What Frisk was supposed to do... he wasn't sure about. Really he could do whatever he wanted since the Unlight was so vast and untamed. What else to do other than wander? The now young man saw all sorts of things: bizarre entities, impossible geological formations, strange realms spilling into the Unlight, pockets of civilizations, and things mere mortals could not comprehend. Eventually Frisk would run into interlopers... Context: Being considered an Interloper in the Unlight is quite the accomplishment... and that's not a compliment. These were corrupted versions of his friends from his old timeline, albeit these individuals were from their own, unique timelines. One in particular was a corruption of a close friend he had fought in worst case scenarios... Frisk would clash with these individuals over the ageless years of the Unlight. These conflicts taught Frisk all sorts of things about the multiverse and his new abilities. One thing that he had kept from his old timeline was his explosion, however. He had a lot of fun perfecting this brand of magic...
Upon reaching proper adulthood, Frisk discovered something: His old timeline was just fine. In fact, it almost seemed like it was calling to him, asking him to come back. He wasn't sure what to do, so he made a mental note of the rift to that universe. He would also leave some of his essence at the rift, just in case he made up his mind. To mull over his thoughts, he decided to go on a smaller journey to explore some odd buildings he had discovered. Of note was a series of older, three-storied houses that looked as if they plucked straight from Earth. They were so oddly familiar to him, but he could not place his finger on it. After some contemplating on the front porch of the most familiar house, two individuals approached Frisk. One was an imposing, older British doctor and the other was a muscular woman, with glasses and long hair. They introduced themselves as ULTRAMagic Magistrate and ULTRAMagic Devil respectively. They had actually been looking for Frisk for some time as the ULTRAMagic guild had noticed the man's arrival in the Unlight and wanted to keep tabs on him... and give him a place to stay. Frisk would become well acquainted with the ULTRAMagic guild. While he had not achieved ULTRAMagic, he was considered an honorary member.
Little did Frisk realize that he would become wrapped in a massive conflict, spanning multiple universes and timelines, after interacting with a lost individual who would later go onto join the ULTRAMagic Guild...

So where's his personality? His powers? What's that suit? What's with the tentacles coming from his back? We will get to that in the next upload I do of this Frisk. Consider this part 1. This isn't intended to be the character reference for Eldritch Frisk in case you are wondering. I did include the colors used, however. This is just a drawing I did to finally get a concept I have been messing around with ever since 2017. Back then I had the idea for an AU of Undertale where it is all just Eldritch horror/cosmic horror stuff. Cosmic horror meets fantasy basically. I drew this Frisk multiple times before finally coming to this drawing. Does this Frisk have anything to do with my story, HYPERDEATH Alternate? Well, this is crossing over into my ULTRAMagic/Unlight stuff... I think the answer is pretty obvious. Whether or not this Frisk relates directly to my main story has yet to be seen. That's code for: I need to start posting more chapters of HYPERDEATH Alternate. So yes, expect more from this character in the near future.
This is also my first attempt at illustrating the Unlight... It went alright, but I need to do more. Yes, obviously this one was easier to color and finish due to how simple it is. Hopefully it doesn't take me too long to get the other part up. Expect the proper character reference to be my traditional, transparent PNG. Why do I keep doing that? You see, I'm lazy... Haha. For real, do we really need a full background for a character reference? The point of it is the character, not the scene. Getting back to this drawing, that portal is called a warp portal and I may tweak the details of it in future drawings. I wasn't too sure what to do, but I do have some new ideas now that I am looking at the finished drawing.

Here we are, the other half of Eldritch Frisk... LITERALLY! HAHA! I finally got this uploaded... 4 days after I finished it and... oh god, 9/27/2022?! Jeez, procrastination much? Firstly, go back and read part 1 and the accompanying lore. His backstory is already there and I don't think there is anything to add this time around. Instead I will go over the other stuff I should have mentioned.

Timeline: "[ERROR]" does not mean he is from the same timeline as ERROR Sans. I just put that there because I don't plan to unveil his original timeline here. Don't worry, we will get to that in time.
Personality: This Frisk is... I don't want to say a quitter, but he will abandon something if it becomes too stressful. He's also reluctant to get involved in other people's affairs. The last major time he tried to help people, it did not go so well. That's not to say he won't help people, however. Naturally he's a loner and prefers to be alone with his thoughts. For a while he considered other people as unnecessary and a detriment to his emotions. On the other hand, getting away from reality did help him as it allowed him to come to terms with his his past failings. Wandering the void gives you a lot of time to think. That doesn't mean he's gung-ho to return to his old timeline, but he'd be lying if he said he was completely against the idea. Of note, members of the ULTRAMagic Guild have been able to get him to open up and be more friendly. Certain events in relation to the guild would also force him to get over his past issues. Aside from his personal baggage, Frisk is naturally a curious individual and loves to play around with things. Search around and you may just find some of Frisk's creations.
Powers: So Frisk was a Soul magic caster, but that changed upon meeting Yog-Sothoth. Given that he lost his old soul, or the power of it, he needed a new type of magic. Yog's knowledge allowed Frisk to become a Weave magic caster. What kind of bond did Frisk have given that the Weave requires bonds for it to work? Despite Frisk being a mood, he did become good friends with Yog. Yog was patient and comforting and was almost like a parent to Frisk, and definitely a mentor to him. This also allowed Frisk to regain some of his old power, due to the residual traces of it that was left in his soul. So while his magic is weak at the moment, he is working on improving it.
What he can do is things like fireballs, minor explosions, invisibility, levitation, and warping. Warping is his favorite as it allows him to go whatever he wants without tiring himself out. All he has to do is focus and clap his hands. A gold and indigo portal will then appear and all he has to do is hop on in. He has full control of the portal and can open and close it as he pleases. The levitation is pretty basic, but allows him to defy gravity and walk wherever he pleases. Invisibility is to be expected as he knew this would come in handy. Plus it allows him to be a mood without people noticing. And the fireballs and explosions? Those are left over from his old powers. Now the castings seem to have a weird, rust and black color to them.
The suit: This suit is something Frisk picked up during his journeys. It seems to be a living suit that is capable of minor shape shifting. The suit can be whatever it wants or whatever Frisk needs it to be... within reason. The suit is also incredibly durable and is able to harden when stricken. The tentacles are a part of the suit that go back and forth between wings, a hooded cloak, and an extra set of limbs. While the suit does not audibly talk, it does communicate with Frisk via his mind. Frisk has come to love the suit despite being apprehensive when he first ran into it. He is protective of the suit and refuses to let anyone else wear it. Some other capabilities of the suit are camouflage, wall crawling, healing, and minor autonomy (in the case Frisk is incapacitated).
