I don't think the player is canonically present. Think of it this way: whatever you do right now can be explained as some local deity wishing you to do exactly that thing right now. Though sometimes, this deity is manifested as your thoughts. Sometimes you wish to kill a person, but... you don't actually do it.

And Chara is the narrator, and they only take over during the genocide route.
