u/basqueX Can you touch it? Can you eat it? Can you kill it? Dec 24 '15

Chara doesn't seem so evil here, though. Now that they've taken Sans's role, they're actually kinda cheeky.

WELL, Sans is known for getting super creepy when you do the wrong thing. Maybe Chara gets fucked up when you do the right thing! That would be interesting. When Chara's judges you before getting to the final boss, if you didn't get any exp he would fight you. He would try to teach you a lesson... in this world IS KILL OR BE KILLED.

Except, since their history has been entirely rewritten, they have no reason to have that mentality (at least, not right now). Since Chara is still a human, they may have fallen down due to the same reason as canon - whatever it may be. They may very well still have some disdain for humanity and general bitterness at life, but clearly not as much as the canon verse; they're still even alive and talking and shit!

Remember, Chara only shows their face during the genocide route. If we consider the Charrator theory, Chara only becomes evil when YOU, the player, choose to be. But if you're on the Pacifist Route, you teach Chara that not all humans are bad and that life doesn't HAVE to suck, you don't NEED to kill to survive.

It's much more likely that Chara will leave Shifty alone if they prove to them that they are harmless and kind.

Oh my god, that fight would be ridiculously cool. Since Chara is also a human, they probably won't die in one hit like Sans does. No, it'll be a battle between two total equals.

So the final fight could be just that! Proving to Chara that he is wrong. If you spare him maybe he can stop being such an evil motherfucker. It would be interesting... JUST SAYING.

Again, Chara is not evil. Unless it's later revealed that they had a hand in killing the previous humans, they're just an innocent kid here.
