I’m just going to start at the beginning, with the house.
Everything in this house seems to have a story to it. The wooden dragon head sticking out of the pond? I asked Grandma Edith about it once and she said it had killed her husband. I was six, but I just thought it was an odd joke. This house feels like it had always been here, sitting about the coastline of Four. Even the swing-set was older than my mother.
And whenever I enter it? I feel like I’m home.
When you enter the kitchen the first thing you notice are the cans. Ever since my brother started working at salmon cannery we’ve all been getting sick of eating salmon. Well except our cat, Molly.
Honestly nothing in the house looks abnormal, there’s just too much of it crammed into one space. Like a smile with too many teeth. If I hadn’t known better I’d think this is a set for a play. Or maybe when the house gets quiet that a bomb had gone off, killing everyone inside but leaving all the furniture unharmed. Even the fireplace had a story, Grandma Edith told me the bricks came from the original house after it sank.
And she told me once that every Frisk who has ever lived was buried somewhere in the library. That’s when mom locked the room to the library. Though, Grandma Edith then drilled a peephole in the door. As a kid I just assumed every house had peep-holes and sealed rooms you weren’t allowed to see the inside of.
After all, whenever one of us died, the same thing happened. Mom would lock and seal the door, Grandma Edith would drill peepholes into the door. Everything inside the room would remain untouched. Grandma Edith believes we’re cursed, mom keeps trying to remain optimistic though.
This is a family plot in District Four that follows the Frisk family. This eccentric family lives on a small island not far from the mainland of the district and the Peacekeepers keep a close eye on them. While most of the characters listed are dead, they play an important role in the family due to the legend of the family curse.
This plot is based on the game “What Remains of Edith Finch” but knowledge of the game is in no way needed in order to play the game, it’s mainly just character concepts and the background of the family. Whether or not your character believes in the curse is up to you unless otherwise specified. All playable characters except Edith have names that the writer may change so until someone states what name they’re actually using for that character please refrain from referencing those characters by name.
This plot is first-come, first-serve and I may add more playable characters if needed. Unless otherwise specified in the character description any traits, including whether or not your character is a career, is at your discretion. Characters will not be aged up unless something significant happens (the reaping of a Frisk, for example). The house is quite large as every time they ran out of room for a new Frisk, they simply expanded on it. All of the old bedrooms of dead Frisks as well as the library and the basement are sealed shut, but they do have peep holes drilled in.
Will you explore the mystery of the Frisk family curse?

C H A R A C T E R L I S T
Odin (57 at time of death) - Deceased
Pre-HG to the 9th Hunger Games
Sank into the ocean with the old house
Father of Edith, Husband of Ingeborg
Grandma Edith’s father, Odin, built the original house. Our family used to be well known in Four for our misfortune, something always seemed to be happening. So he set sail and made a houseboat to live off the coast of Four, the original house. He buried the last of the dead Frisk’s and was ready to leave the family curse behind on the mainland. But a 40-foot wave struck the house and sunk into the ocean, with Odin still in it. Odin will be the first to be buried in the family cemetery as part of the new Frisk house.Ingeborg (59 at time of death) - Deceased
Pre-HG to the 9th Hunger Games
Sank into the ocean with the old house
Mother of Edith, Wife of Odin
Great Grandma Ingeborg’s family told her not to marry a Frisk, that we were cursed and the curse would get her too. But she didn’t listen. She was in love with him. When he had the idea of living on the sea and leaving the curse behind, she jumped at the chance. She thought she was safe from the curse marrying into the family. But no one with the last name Frisk is ever safe. When the old house sank, so did she. Sealing her fate alongside her husband, the man whom she refused to abandon until the bitter end.Edith (101) - Alive - @icyhot
Mother of “Sampson” and Calvin, Wife of Sven
Edith is the one who tells all the story of the Frisks, mom just doesn’t like to bring up the past. Great Grandma Edith likes fantasy a lot I think. For example, when she told people Sven was killed by a dragon she could have said the dragon-shaped slide he was building collapsed on him, but she didn’t. After Calvin died, she left everything untouched and only roped-off his half the room. Apparently after Grandpa “Sampson” turned 18 he never set foot in their old bedroom again.Sven (49 at time of death) - Deceased
Pre-HG to the 35th Games
Crushed by a dragon slide
Father of “Sampson” and Calvin, Husband of Edith
Great Grandpa Sven was a craftsman. He built the music box that now belongs to Barbara, as well as the rest of the house. He tried to use as much of the materials as he could salvage from the wreck of the old house. Great Grandma Edith insisted on it. He even refurbished the old camera he gave to Grandpa “Sampson”, he still takes it everywhere with him. Even though Great Grandpa Sven built the house, it was Edith who designed the cemetery. They actually finished the cemetery before starting the house.“Sampson” (68) - Alive - OPEN
Father of Gus, Gregory, and “Dawn”; Brother of Calvin
His wife Cay left him after Gregory died and we never saw her since. He tried to join the Peacekeepers and even started the training, but he never made it through it. He refuses to talk about the idea of the family curse, though I think he blames it for Gregory’s death.Calvin (14 at time of death) - Deceased
The 21st Games to the 35th Games
Brother of “Sampson”
Fell into the sea
Grandpa “Sampson” spent years sharing a bedroom with his dead brother Calvin. Grandpa always said how his brother wanted to fly, and he did. Great Grandma Edith was always telling him to be careful with that old, wooden swing. He even broke his leg jumping off of it. But one day, he swung. He swung higher and higher as the wind began to pick up. Eventually the swing began to swing in circles, over and over. He had no choice but to jump off. And he flew, he flew into the sea.“Dawn” (50) - Alive - OPEN
Mother of “Lewis”, “Barbara”, “Molly”, “Milton”, “Edie”, and “Walter”; Sister of Gregory and Gus
Mom and Edith are always fighting. About whether or not the curse is real. I heard mom tell Edith one day that Edith just likes the fame and drama around the idea of a family curse, that the more we talk about it the more real it becomes. But, she also knows what happened to her husband Sanjay after he took her last name and became a Frisk.Sanjay (36 at time of death) - Deceased
The 37th Games to the 73rd Games
Husband to Dawn, Father of “Edie” and “Lewis”
Died in a fire
Sanjay was my dad, but he died before I was born so I only know what mom tells me about him. He wanted to help people. And so he became a firefighter. I don’t know if that’s what killed him or being a Frisk is what killed him. But he ended up dying in a fire he was trying to put out. He was the only one who died.Gregory (1 at time of death) - Deceased
The 47th Games to the 48th Games
Brother of “Dawn” and Gus
Drowned
I don’t know how mom’s little brother Gregory died. She wasn’t home when it happened and Grandpa “Sampson” won’t talk about it. I just know that’s why his wife left him. I think she blamed them for his death. I just know that he died and she went back to the mainland, and none of us ever saw her again.Gus (13 at time of death) - Deceased
The 40th Games to the 53rd Games
Brother of “Dawn” and Gregory
Swept out to sea
Gus was outside, flying his kite when it happened. Grandpa Sampson thought he was inside with mom. Maybe if he double-checked none of this would have happened. There was a bad storm and high waves, just like the ones that sunk the old house. He was standing on the cliff near the sea, trying to get his kite to go higher and higher. That’s when a huge wave washed over the cliff and took him with. He was swallowed up into the sea.“Lewis” (18) - Alive - OPEN
Full-brother of “Edie”; Half-brother of “Barbara”, “Walter”, “Molly”, and “Milton”
Not a career
My brother “Lewis” has been working at a salmon cannery ever since he finished school. I don’t know how much he likes it, he doesn’t talk about it much. He spends most of his time holed up in his room smoking weed and playing video games. Mom finally convinced him to start seeing a therapist recently.“Barbara” (16) - Alive - @icyhot
Half-sister of “Lewis”, “Edie”, “Molly”, “Walter” and “Milton”
Career
“Barbara” was a child-star, but she’s not very popular anymore. She used to be featured in horror movies, she had the perfect, piercing scream for those films. But she got tired of type-casted and wanted to branch out more into roles other than “dead girl who screams”. Unfortunately, she had struggled to find any work outside of that role.“Molly” (12) - Alive - OPEN
Twin-sister of “Milton”; Half-sister of “Lewis”, “Edie”, “Barbara, and “Walter”
Career-optional
Molly is my youngest sister and is just as creative as “Milton”. She asked me for a journal like mine one year for Ratmas, but she uses it a bit differently. She talks about her day, but she adds to it. She didn’t climb up a tree and jump down. She turned into a cat and climbed up to stalk her prey. She always adds these fun twists, and she can be a bit hyper.“Milton” (12) - Alive - OPEN
Twin-brother of “Molly”; Half-brother of “Lewis”, “Edie”, “Barbara”, and “Walter”
Career-optional
“Milton” is “Molly’s” twin brother. He’s an artist. He turned our old playhouse into his bedroom and he is always drawing and painting on the walls. He writes too, just like “Molly”. He draws and illustrates stories of himself escaping into his own paintings and becoming the hero of the story.“Walter” (14) - Alive - OPEN
Half-brother of “Milton”, “Molly”, “Lewis”, “Barbara”, and “Edie”
Career
“Walter” is a bit old fashioned. He talks a lot about how much he wants to be in the Hunger Games and he insisted on being a career even before he was old enough to be one. I think he was the reason “Barbara” decided to become a career, so she could help him when the time came too. He has a temper and can lash out at us, but we know he loves us.“Edie” (17) - Alive - OPEN
Full-sister of “Lewis”; Half-sister of “Milton”, “Walter”, “Barbara”, and “Molly”
That’s me. I originally started this because of an essay I had in class about your family history and building a family tree. But now I’m curious. Is there a family curse? Or are we just plain unlucky? Why are mom and Grandma Edith always fighting about whether or not we can see or be in the rooms? Are there really dead people in the library? All of these mysteries, and I want the answers.A P P L I C A T I O N S
