Alright, it's time for me to respond with my take on the whole relationship, and why Frisk isn't actually Chara.

''Chara is a red soul, Frisk is a red soul, there are never two red souls in the game but we know Chara is there the whole time. (I suppose if you don't believe in NaraChara you wouldn't believe this part though.)''

There's an entire village of humans. Two humans of the same SOUL color aren't implausible. Just because we don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. However, there is another possible reason why. Frisk's not the non-human, Chara is. Chara's speaking in second-person, they're clearly telling YOU (Frisk) about something. Whenever you make an ACT, Chara narrates what Frisk is doing. They're not the same as Frisk/Player.

A human cannot absorb a human soul so Chara couldn't go into Frisk if Frisk already had a soul.

Non sequiter:Chara going into Frisk does not imply they absorbed Frisk's SOUL-It only means they dwell with them. Also, there's no evidence Chara is inside of Frisk-They very well could just be following Frisk around. Either way, they don't have Frisk's SOUL-They ask for it after the Genocide Route. This ties into the theory that Chara's actually the non-human-They can't seem to interact with anything-It's as if they're a phantom.. a ghost. You awakened Chara from death, but you didn't technically "revive" them-They're a dead ghost, until they acre enough EXP to gain physical form. ...Yeah, totally not human anymore.

''When you play through the power route (aka genocide) there is only Chara. It's like Frisk isn't there at all.''

...What makes you say that? I see Frisk, and almost none of Chara outside of narration.

''The exact wording on the prophecy is: "The Angel, who's seen the surface, will come back and the Underground will go empty." Note the 'come back' that applies to Chara but not a separate-entity-Frisk.''

That applies to Asriel Dreemur in the Pacfist Route (he came back to life, and SAW the Surface.. And technically, HE'S the one who broke the barrier), and Chara in Genocide (Eradicating the world. We didn't kill Alphys, so technically we're not the ones who made the Underground go COMPLETELY empty.)

I'm working on responding to the meta-discussion this has turned into, but it'll take a while..
