'''2. So IS chara a blank slate? or is that a common argument. if so what do you think?'''

No, they definitely had a personality. But still, they outright states Frisk guides them.

'''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 '''

I mean, there's a huge variety of monsters, and Toriel says it's been a long time since a human fell, most of them probably don't know what humans look like (Mabian mentioned the exceptions) and assume Frisk's just a kind they haven't seen before

'''4. yeah, chara and asriel. why didn't chara save? but now looking back, i see it's already answered. '''

If Chara could save, I don't think they'd have used the power - they really seem to hate people dodging consequences.

'''5. i don't think double posting is against the rules... if so im in some trouble lol '''

I'm not sure

6. Wildkitten, so you think chara isn't powerful as a spirit and can't predict that she would come back to life if a human did genocide or the barrier being broken, etc? and chara could "kill" the game why can't they kill frisk 

Yep, they're just a child. A clearly intelligent child with the potential to become incredibly blood(dust?)thirsty, unrecognizable as human, and eventually destroy the entire world, but a child nontheless, not a master mind. My theory on how they destroy the world is that it's akin to a player deleting a game, it fits with the saving/loading. They'd probably have always had the power if that's the case, but weren't able without reaching maxium lack of empathy. Anyway, they could kill Frisk, but there's no reason for them to. They 'live' in Frisk's head, and Frisk just comes back to life.
