Do you have any canon facts about Fresh? You seem like you know about him a lot so I wanted to ask :')

Sure! If you'd like to know something specific you can ask, but here's some commonly misunderstood aspects of his character.

He doesn't kill his hosts. He leaves them in a weakened state when he's done with them but their soul can recover over time. it's possible for them to get possessed by him again.

He talks using his host. He doesn't have his own voice and as a parasite separate from a host he can't talk, so his voice will only sound like his host's with a different tone. Though it's totally possible but not confirmed that he has a way of mentally talking to his host, it is confirmed that he can hear his host mentally. (He can hear his host in their mind so maybe they can hear him?)

Fresh isn't a disease, a virus, or an infection. He's a heckin parasite, he can only possess one person at a time. He has to physically go into a body and control it. His host's personality doesn't change him at all unless he's trying to pretend to be them, because he has full control. The host can fight his control to do things but this is incredibly painful and can damage their soul significantly more.

Fresh can't feel most things. Fresh lacks most emotions, he can't form emotional connections to people at all. The only things he can feel is fear, a tiny hint of sadism(Meaning seeing people in pain or distress brings him joy), and rarely anger over things he doesn't understand. The fear of death is a natural instinct, as a living creature he wants to survive and continue to live. His joy in suffering of others is a learned feeling, because his entire existence is causing pain, over time his mind has formed a connection, other's pain = his gain, his gain = his survival, him surviving = him feeling content. (His sadism is a very small and muted happiness, it'd be barely amusement to someone with a full range of emotions, but to him it's everything because it's the only way he feels good) The anger over things he doesn't understand was only canonically triggered by one thing, and it was someone sacrificing their life to save someone else. He was so angry someone would do that, because everything he knows is survival, and throwing your own life away is infuriatingly stupid to him, it's too different from his core understanding of life (this only happens when he starts to unlock more emotions like companionship tho).

Fresh is an asexually reproducing parasite. He has no idea of romance, sex, or even the complexities of gender. He doesn't understand love, or any of that. He's physically incapable of basically anything sexual. He does asexually create other parasites tho, he can do this intentionally as seen during Freshmageddon, where he spent three days making more parasites. He will do some things seen as romantic, like kissing, because he doesn't understand the romantic connection and finds the reactions people have funny

Fresh feels everything physical his host body feels. I see stuff in the fandom all the time where Fresh possesses a host and gets them severely injured but doesn't care… This is the opposite of accurate. Fresh can feel everything his host feels physically, but to a lesser extent… and I'd think pain/injury freaks him out because it'd remind him of his fear of death. I don't think he can feel damage inflicted to their soul though, because otherwise possessing people and damaging their soul over time would really suck!

Sometime I'll make a Fresh doc exploring all the aspects of his character with all the source posts from CQ to back it up :]
