Talk:Eight Humans/@comment-25609899-20151117053104

Did a little bit of sifting today, and I think the Red Soul's trait is not Determination (all humans have a fairly high quantity of Determination), but rather that it is Power, which is why it resists command so much better than all the other souls. Even Asriel, with the Determination of 6 humans, a dozen amalgamates, and two Boss Monsters, could not outwill the Determined Soul of Power.

The player commands the Soul of Power because it gets the final say in the game's fates. Chara, also containing a Soul of Power, is the only one that can match the power of the player, Frisk, as demonstrated by the no-prompt erasure of the save and planting a "permanent" fixture of the save file in your folder.

I can't remember the line I saw that made me associate it with Power, but if anybody else has seen the mention, put it forward.
