after a while of thinking, I might have figured out the genders of the two humans, and how it relates to the entire meaning of UNDERTALE.

We start with Chara. We all know about their hatred of humanity. I believe this comes from them being discriminated against by other humans, causing Chara to climb Mt. Ebott. Being a human, they were not discriminated against for things such as sexuality. However, they were still paranoid about it, so they never told anyone. Except the one person they could trust, Asriel.

Now, living with the fear of being discriminated by monsters, Chara committed suicide with buttercups. This would allow for two outcomes:

1.    Chara could be free from being mocked.

2.    They could use Asriel to smite those who oppressed them.

Now, what makes me so certain that Chara's some strange gender? Well...

<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:17.15pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#4F4F4F">The demon who comes when you call their name.

<p style="margin:4.3pt0cm;line-height:17.15pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#222222">Notice how Chara says "they." It makes sense for others to refer to them using this pronoun, but Chara uses this pronoun for themselves. This shows that they are neither female nor male.

<p style="margin:4.3pt0cm;line-height:17.15pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#222222">What makes me so certain that they showed Asriel? Well, that's where we move onto Frisk. In the True Pacifist ending, Asriel is seen mistaking Frisk for Chara. This could be from Flowey finding out Frisk's sexual identity from spying on them for so long.

<p style="margin:4.3pt0cm;line-height:17.15pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#222222">The sexual identity is why Chara attaches to Frisk. Not because of soul color, but because they were the only person who could understand them. The other humans were just regular people, the ones that Chara HATED. They could've easily attached to them, making some ugly-colored soul, but instead, they attached to Frisk, just so they could feel accepted for once.

<p style="margin:4.3pt0cm;line-height:17.15pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#222222">Now, why does Chara only talk when Frisk does genocide? This is because they've gained the confidence to speak out, as Frisk is just like them. A desire of killing is exactly what defines this identity. Chara was always murderous, it was just fueled when they were shamed for it. Any route except for Genocide is Frisk struggling with their identity, and Genocide is Frisk accepting themself as who they are. Acceptance allows Chara to be awakened. This is the power Chara talks about, because they were never able to fit in.

<p style="margin:4.3pt0cm;line-height:17.15pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#222222">And what sexual identity involves a desire of killing?

<p style="margin:4.3pt0cm;line-height:17.15pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#222222">That's right.

<p style="margin:4.3pt0cm0.0001pt;line-height:17.15pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#222222">Frisk and Chara sexually identify as Attack Helicopters.
