Regardless of your will at this point, they then permanently destroy the game's world ( 'SINCE WHEN WERE YOU THE ONE IN CONTROL?'). Together, we eradicated the enemy and became strong.Every time a number increases, that feeling. I realized the purpose of my reincarnation. At first, I was so confused.Why was I brought back to life?. My 'human soul.' My 'determination.' They were not mine, but YOURS. In the first Genocide ending, they make the following statements. Remember, we (the player) and Chara have the same name, and they identify as such. We find out in the Genocide endings, in which Chara directly speaks to the player. In Genocide, we turn out as Chara fully controlling Frisk. In Pacifist, we learn that the character we were controlling is named Frisk, despite the player apparently naming them what we had named Chara. Let's quickly review what happens with these two in the Pacifist and Genocide endings. Coincidentally, they fell on the same groomed plot of flowers above Chara! They are described as exceptionally similar to Chara in appearance, even with 'similar fashion sense.' Both are also depicted as being of ambiguous gender and race, which is key to facilitate them representing the player - but we'll get to that.

This is further complicated by the character Frisk, whom we control and is the eighth fallen human. Finally, it's worth noting that Chara takes after the word 'characteristics.' However, since we should give them the player's real name, there is still some sort of connection between us. They had their own life in the game: they are long deceased, lacking a soul, was laid to rest in a coffin in the castle, then carried by Toriel to the Ruins for burial under what is now a plot of golden flowers she grooms. Toby Fox, the creator, was asked on Twitter what players were supposed to name the fallen child, to which he answered that we should name them after ourselves. Though the community refers to them as Chara for a few reasons (the game calling it 'the true name' and its use in promotional materials), you name this entity when you begin the game.

I know this is something people have already pieced together, but seeing some confusion and wanting to talk out the whole story in one place prompted me to write this interpretation of the facts.įirst of all, we're talking about the first fallen human, whom you meet at the end of a Genocide run.
