Another interpretation my friend had is that Chara is a personified representation of the player... Your friend id wrong. Flowey, when he had access to Save File, is personification of the Player: ''...I've done everything this world has to offer. I've read every book. I've burned every book. I've won every game. I've lost every game. I've appeased everyone. I've killed everyone. Sets of numbers... Lines of dialog... I've seen them all''. Chara doesn't fit to this description at all. They actually talks about themselves - ''Together, we eradicated the enemy and became strong. HP. ATK. DEF. GOLD. EXP. LV. Every time a number increases, that feeling... That's me. "[Playername]"''. Chara tells they are the Player's Character (not to be confused with Playable Character, which is Frisk) a set of statistics, perks, a list of achievements and items. However, there is problem with this. As mere bunch of Stats, they should'n be sentient being, yet they are - ''Greetings. I am [Playername]... With your guidance, I realized the purpose of my reincarnation'', so they cant be just PC. They also cant be that feeling pushing to maximizing those Stats since it is emotional state of the Player, a part of their Soul, so Chara/that feeling can't demand Player's Soul, yet they does: You will give me your SOUL. Neither Player, nor Player's Character...
