Hey, thanks for responding. :)

So, let's pull these pieces apart…

It looks like we both agree Frisk is not human. That's pretty cool. I am curious what your theory/head cannon is for what Frisk actually is. I bet it's pretty interesting.

And I agree that it could very well be that Frisk is a separate entity but without a soul because we know there can be beings without souls {Flowey} so it is definitely a possibility.

All of our theories are possible explanations and I doubt any one theory will be able to be proven as the correct one. I would guess it was Toby's intention that there would always be multiple ways to interpret the game.

Also this: "Your entire theory is based on this dialogue, but your claim that  says Frisk is just simplification of quite overcomplicated relation between Frisk and ."

sounds extremely intriguing. Mind sharing your thoughts on this complicated relation between Chara and Frisk? I do so enjoy complex dynamics.

Alright, now for your questions…

Where did they get the body?

Excellent question of which my answer is pure conjecture so I have no actual proof and therefore can't debate it. Nor do I want to, I don't need anybody to agree with me on this. But, since we really have no idea where Frisk came from or what they were doing there, any explanation for that analogous question would equally be conjecture so as a theory, in this area, it's a wash.

Anyway, my explanation is based on the idea that Undertale is a game made to poke fun at the things in games that don't make sense and then come up with explanations for them. (Like monster bodies dissapearing.) How can we control a person in a game world that we aren't a part of? That person isn't us, we don't exist inside the game. So, is that an empty body we control or is it a person we control? If it is a person, why are they listening to us? If it is an empty body, how are we able to control it with such a small number of instructions? There could probably be a lot if ways to explain this. And my explanation is just head cannon and nothing else. But I think the game creator made an empty vessel that was connected to us outside the game (such that we can see it and give rudimentary instructions through it). This body was then dropped ontop of Chara's grave, absorbing Chara's soul. Then Chara moves it around, listening to our instructions and talking for us. They do this because they are very disoriented and confused about what is happening, why it is happening, so they just go with it. Then they keep going with it because they think there must be a purpose for it, a purpose possibly related to the prophesy.

This is a very meta type explanation but I take a very meta type of view on the game.

The last question I have for you is why you say Frisk is silent? There are frequent times where people respond to things our avatar appears to have said, we just never know exactly what was said.

I obviously believe it is just Chara saying things and not feeling like it's necessary to tell us exactly what they said right after they gave us a couple options to choose from.

But if you believed Frisk is indeed a separate entity, they why would you not also believe Frisk is the one doing the talking?

Just curious.
