Username Yes I’m single, here’s some proof against the Chara is evil points: If you do genocide twice they say something extra:”But. You and I are not the same, are we? This SOUL resonates with a strange feeling. There is a reason you continue to recreate this world. There is a reason you continue to destroy it. You. You are wracked with a perverted sentimentality. Hmm. I cannot understand these feelings anymore. Despite this. I feel obligated to suggest. Should you choose to recreate this world once more. Another path would be better suited.” They suggest another path than genocide. Sure, they had a plan to kill 6 humans. But you’re forgetting something: SO DID ASGORE! Asgore also had a plan to kill 7 humans. Chara wanted to kill 6 humans so Asriel could absorb their souls. Chara also gave Asriel their own soul. We don’t know if they would kill anyone else before destroying the barrier, but it never says they did in the game as far as I know. Asriel says Chara wasn’t the greatest person, but that doesn’t make them evil! Monster kid says a similar thing about Undyne if you save them. Does this make Undyne evil? NO! That’s Flowey in the genocide run upon assuming Frisk is Chara. Since Frisk killed so many monsters he assumes they are Chara and they are empty inside like he is. I have a theory that when a monster dies, so does any soul they have. So if Chara’s soul had died, Flowey would know it since he’s Asriel. Also, the killing! It isn’t confirmed that it was Chara who killed Flowey, Sans, and Asgore upon that assumption. It could have been Frisk. As far as I know it never says that Chara killed anyone other then themself and the world at the end of genocide but that brings me to a theory I’ve been working on.........

Does Chara represent the player’s motives? Frisk seems to represent the player’s actions since they do what the player chooses. Chara appears to have the same motives as the player depending on the path. In pacifist, we learn Chara wanted to free everyone like we do at the end of pacifist. In genocide, they want to destroy the world which is something we caused by killing everyone. In neutral Chara’s motives are unknown, like the player’s since there are so many variations of that path.

That’s my theory. I’m not saying they directly ARE the motives, but they represent them. Hope that was helpful.
