Now bear with me; Chara is supposed to be the stand-in for the player, (As evidenced by Toby's statement that you're should to name them after yourself) in game. If you (Chara) take control, and grind out before the boss fights like a traditional RPG, carving your way through the monsters, the spirit of chara becomes a demon, steal's Frisk's soul, and tries to manipulate them into helping you destroy the world. At the end of a Genocide run, Chara has become an autonomous force, and we are allowed to make a couple decisions, from the perspective of Frisk (roleplaying coming into play here).

Alternatively, if you roleplay as Frisk the whole time, going through the game as a small human child would in that situation, "Chara" finds peace, and moves on (Ergo, if you leave the game at Frisk's good ending, the pacifist ending, you the player get to enjoy the character's happiness vicariously, and move on to a different game.)

Here's my theory: Sans and Gaster are running timespace tests in an attempt to master Time Travel, so they can allow the monsters to escape the underground by moving backward in time to before the creation of the barrier; (Papyrus being a little baby bone at this point) they detect huge timespace anomalies in other worlds, unbeknownst to them, caused by you, the player, possessing other characters in other worlds, saving and loading, playing games and finishing them as gamers do. Seeing this makes them accelerate their research, as they now know it is possible, and leads to the building of the Core- A massive machine that uses geothermal energy to produce electricity, but also as a place where Sans and Gaster can use ludicrous amounts of power in their time-travel experiments. They succeed to some degree, perfecting teleportation technology. And then they seemingly fail; Gaster ceases to exist, his essence scattered throughout the multiverse. Sans gives up his large scale experiments after the loss of his brother(?), but keeps up on his readings, looking for some hope Gaster might still exist out there, somewhere. Time passes, The King and Queen have a son, adopt a lost human child, then lose them both. They split up. Dr. Alphys gets appointed the new Royal Scientist, after they can't figure out why there wasn't another one. And then, years later, a 7th human child appears in the underground, to mixed results. Sans then sees the same timespace anomalies happening in their timeline, and he knows what's happening. The demon has come to his world, seeking its end. And it's OUR choice, as the player, how we leave that world- in ruins, or in harmony.
