The Chara that kills everyone in the game during the Genocide Route is explained to be soulless; they're not a psychopath, as they aren't even human. They're an empty entity that destroys for no logical reason. Originally, before Chara died, Chara is open to interpretation. There's some evidence (the tapes in the true lab) that suggest Chara may have had some odd tendencies, but we really don't know. Part of the message of the game is that Chara has no motivation, really, it's only the player's determination to beat the Genocide Route that causes everything to happen. Chara's motivations don't exist: only your motivations as the player exist. Well, at least, that's my interpretation of the game.
