Wildkitten, it speaks for itself. Of course Chara had a soul in life. It is stated in the game that human souls persist after death, which is the only reason they could combine it with Asriel's. But when their fusion died, their souls died with them.

Flowey also says that Chara "is empty inside". When something lacks a soul, it loses its ability to feel complex emotions. At the end of a Genocide, Chara seems to have lost any love or compassion they previously had. It was clear they weren't a murderous sadist back then, but after that, they don't seem to mind killing.

Why else would Chara want your soul, anways?
