so about this sucker

the basic description is: They're a cool and powerful speedrunner whose main objective is to beat the game as fast as possible (not inspired by them). They're so fast that the power of the souls hasn't even had enough time to dissipate after they helped finish the omega flowey battle 10 seconds ago. They made everything about them so optimal that they don't even say words, they just say something like "* Frisk told Togore what grandpa looks like" and an entire conversation is finished.

(One might say it ends because Frisk has added "roleplaying" and "asterisks" to the discussion, but really it's because they're that much of a gamer.)

now if you may humour me to a set of rambles about why the hell they even exist (for not even i know for sure):

the character was originally some silly joke i put on the thumbnail for the video that plays on the 67th page. the one with the weird random snowdin speedrun

it was the funny number page, someone just gave me the mysterious "beat snowdin" prompt. naturally, i scribbled some funny number frisk. i picked 69 as the funny number tho, for obvious "67 does not make for pretty-shaped glasses"-related reasons. and also because the glasses vaguely look like gaster and that's pretty funny

(that whole page has like, no reason to exist. truly my best page yet)

naturally, the character was a joke that i didnt feel much about. but someone on mspfa sure did feel something because they made various Frisk-related prompts trying to get them into the main lore and interact with the characters, and tbh, I didn't have much reason not to comply and make all the pages they asked for ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

so the character just randomly became a common figure that shows up often

and now i suddenly like them and have various plans for what they could do, wanting them to be a relevant character to develop along with the other ones

(plus, having two english speaking characters allows for me to write at least one dialogue box that doesn't feel like half a conversation)

In the scope of the whole adventure, this was a minor sidequest. The quest would have focused mainly on Siffrin, with them using their cleverness to steal their orbs back while chasing them.

The whole thing took a bit longer than expected, and [OC] had found interest in "playing" with Sif.

After a day of clever tricks and thiefery, Siffrin manages to best them in a fight. After that, their orbs are returned and their little game ends.

"... Hey, guy with the cape." "... My name is Siffrin." "Yeah, and mine's Marlone." "... Ohh, that's a good name. I'm glad I asked!" "Likewise! So, today was fun. Even if I kinda helped with the end of the world by stealing that ball key thing. I should steal from you again next time you pass by!"

"Wow! Getting robbed for the price of returning to this town? What a steal!" "Of course! Here we serve only the best steals. And by we I mean me. Word of caution, I currently have eyes on that hat of yours~" "Well, my eyes are glued to this thing. So you'll only get it when I lose them." "Noted!"

"... Do come by though. Once you finish your adventure. I'll try my best not to take so much."
