They encounter problems related to these traits during battles, when their soul turns into that specific color, and determination mediates their entire journey I know how Soul mode works. However, battles are only one of many types of obstacles that Frisk must to face during his journey. That is what I'm trying to point at. However, that doesn't prove that determination is a trait I didn't try to use that to prove that DT is a trait. There are better proofs for that. ''there's no proof that determination is tied to the red color. In fact, determination is NEVER labeled with red in the game! Never.'' Easy there. I'm not trying to tie Determination to red or any color by force. What's more, since all of the other kids had the same powers as Frisk... Powers like one distinguishing trait and ability to Save, with the difference that Frisk didn't gave up. You are saying it is because Asgore got soft and I'm saying it is because Frisk is remarkably Determined - ''Your DETERMINATION! Somehow, it's even greater than mine!'' And that was because Asgore was going easy on Frisk ''I do not want power. I do not want to hurt anyone'' - yes, Asgore is a wimp.

Fanon detected. Interesting way of interpreting. I'm hoping it isn't any kind of prejudice. Anyway, I'm curious where that type of thinking will bring you. Oh, and all I can answer to you is: little you know.

''It is PROVEN that there are no more than 7 traits. After all, the ball game did very STRICTLY imply so. If there were any others, it would have listed them when describing the red flag.'' True. The Ball Game mentions only about seven traits related to those, who fell into Underground. In the other hand, Ball Game isn't reliable source of information - it doesn't describe every possible trait that human Soul could or can has. It is just odd that there could be only seven or six different traits. It is quite small variety for a human beings.

''As for an essence, that's a proven canon. When Asriel died...'' You are talking about monster who differs very much from human: While monsters are mostly made of magic, human beings are mostly made of water etc. Yes, monster does have essence, but there is nothing about human essence. There are no solid arguments for such thing, only speculations. Well, how else do you explain them being awoken by Frisk other than through the concept of an essence? That's simple - when Asriel's body turned into dust, like monsters always do (When monsters (...) kick the bucket, they turn into dust), Chara's Soul survived it, because it is in their nature: ''But humans have one weakness. Ironically, it is the strength of their SOUL. Its power allows it to persist outside the human body''. Just like they did after poisoning themselves. Just like Souls of six humans that survived death of their own bodies. And there you go - one untouched and fully operational, ready to be absorbed human Soul. And you don't need unproven and unsubstantiated human essence for that.

''You. Stop. Go away and play the actual game. Then return. So again, stop, and reevaluate your headcanons. Then come back.'' Please, don't be rude and don't tell me what to do.
