"As for the speech... I that is one way of reading it, and one I had not considered before. To be honest, with how stilted Chara speaks at that moment and the lack of inflection/nuance since it's only text, it can be interpreted either way."

Actually, the take the CDS uses is gramatically incorrect.

"With your guidance. I realized the purpose of my reincarnation."

That should be a comma, shouldn't it? And take a look at the sentences before-Chara DOES use commas! And look at any other narration in the game ever!

"To me, it honestly read like they are saying that your guidance is what helped them realize their new "purpose." If for no other reason than because they don't come to the same conclusion in the other paths even though they are still there, the only difference between the pacifist and genocide routes being what we (player/Frisk) choose to do."

What's to say they didn't reach those same conclusions? I believe either they do, or they don't, but only because you didn't give them any power, seeing as you don't gather any EXP in Pacifist. After all, how can your purpose be power if you have no way of gathering it?

"And our choices seem to influence the way Chara behaves/perceives the world, considering how different they are between the two routes. Considering they either actively help you in the pacifist run, or at least do nothing to get in your way and that there's never a real attempt to tempt you into violence until after you start killing, they seem to have come to a different realization in that path through the game"

Chara states that Froggit attacks you, even though the Froggit hasn't even taken their turn to attack you yet. This is actually exclusive to the first Froggit, which is rather strange-Shouldn't it be the other way around? So, there are two possibilities.

1-Chara's trying to make Froggit look bad to get you to attack on the first turn, which will start your kill streak

2-Froggit actually WAS being agressive. The monsters DO try to kill you. So.. Why does Chara view you killing these killers as evidence that they came for power, and that the entire world should be destroyed, rather than just the monsters? Now that Chara's seen that the humans were right about monsters..

By the way, we get a memory of Chara before Chara is even awake enough to start narrating-The intro. Frisk and Chara's essences are linked, it's involuntary for BOTH sides. Chara knows what Frisk feels, Frisk knows what Chara feels (remember that "joke" about two kids that slept in the soil?)
