Yes I&#039;m single wrote: 1. Mabian, so even if chara has your soul, you can still control it because chara can't? There are basically three possibilities: 1) Chara can't take control quite yet for some reason. 2) Chara won't take control quite yet for some reason. 3) Toby just plain screwed up. Option 1 seems to make the most sense.

2. So IS chara a blank slate? or is that a common argument. if so what do you think? My take has been "no." The blank slate argument is fairly common, especially among those who push the theory that Chara is the narrator, though the former does not have to lead to the latter (though the latter probably has to be linked to the former). I take the view that Chara was to some degree evil or malevolent before the events of the game. The Genocide route just gives them the opportunity to expand upon that to a greater degree than before.

3. Monsters mistake the human for a monster? im pretty sure that;s not the case. "since you are a human living in the underground, monsters may attack you." now for people like monster kid, who mistakes them for a monster (somehow) it's a different story You'll note that practically no monster recognizes you as human. Their magic attacks hurt you, but importantly, monsters express themselves through magic. This is told to you in one of the books in the Snowdin Library. So monsters shoot bullets at one another all the time, without hurting one another. For examples of how weirdly monsters act:

And so on...
 * Papyrus doesn't realize you're human. (Though he is quite dumb to begin with.)
 * Vegetoids feed you.
 * Woshua tries to clean you.
 * The Snowdin shopkeeper thinks you're from the capital.
 * Vulkin tries to encourage you.
 * Loox is simply being a bully.
 * Migosp only attacks when other monsters are around.
 * Ice Cap just wants others to pay attention to its hat.
 * Snowdrake just wants to tell jokes.
 * Monster Kid thinks you're a monster. (You mention this.)
 * The Royal Guards originally think you're a monster, even though they already know a human is running about.
 * In New Home the monsters tell the whole story about Asriel and Chara, and end with how you should be happy, as soon you'll be free. Obviously you can't be "freed" by being killed, which means that the monsters think that Frisk is also a monster.

The following monsters definitely know that you're human, by which I mean they specifically mention it or heavily imply they know:
 * Toriel and Asgore.
 * Sans, Undyne, Alphys, and Mettaton.
 * Froggit.
 * Gerson.
 * Tsunderplane.
 * Temmie.

Think about it this way: how often do any of the monsters actually call you "human"?
