Sorry about the delayed response.

Anyway, I very much enjoy this conversation.

@Rafip To summarize, Frisk is a golem with no free will, no emotions, no thoughts, opinions, or preferences. It is only able to receive and carry out commands. Chara is the human soul inside. (Can I also assume you agree Chara is narrator?) We are the ones pulling the strings, using the tool; the tool who is Frisk.

Sorry if my summary does not do your explanation justice, I just wanted to convey my efforts to understand.

Anyway, I like this theory a lot. It is actually quite similar to my personal theory and differs very little. Where it may differ most is in the "Everyone has motivation and purpose, which can be described from two different, mutually exclusive points of view: the Reality and the Game." Neither of us has gone into this much but I'm guessing this might be were our views differ. If you feel like sharing which of these views you take and why, I'd love to hear it.

Our views definitely differ in this, "I don't want theories, because they are useless." But scince that isn't actually about Undertale and is more about life philosophy I do not suggest we discuss it until we know each other at least a little bit better. :)

@TheHumanAmbassador In summary, Frisk is human and Chara is the non-human (also possibly not even IN Frisk). We do not hear what Frisk says because Chara sees no need to narrate what Frisk says to Frisk.

In meta, the player has been several different people at different times, Flowey first, then Frisk/us(?), then Asriel for a bit in mercy, or Chara in genocide. This is by using the definition of player as the person with the ability to SAVE and LOAD and remember RESETs.

First off, yay narraChara! I love narraChara theory and it's much more fun for me to discuss theories that work from there. And thanks for jumping in and sharing. I liked reading your theories on this.

I especially liked your explination for why we don't hear what Frisk says since it is analogous to how I explain why we don't hear what Chara says in my theory. I assume you believe Frisk cannot understand what any of the monsters are saying and therefore needs Chara's narration?

I'm still not quite clear on how the us<-->Frisk connection works in your explination. If you could elaborate a little?

What I am most curious about are your opinions on Chara's personality and motivations. If you feel like sharing I would very much like to listen.

I am hoping you want to still continue the conversation even if the chances of converting me are unlikely. I would much rather discuss things as if multiple explanations are possible and equally valid. That we may all have our pet theories but find other theories interesting, valuable and engaging. Sound acceptable?

(Sidenote: I don't actually know what HUD stands for and I am willing to admit to my ignorance to hopefully gain that knowledge!)
