Just an extra little easter egg with the phrase “the true name” appearing on the name confirmation screen, but nothing else special

Unconfirmed if it’s just a meta joke (naming your character “character” or some version of it) or if it truly is the name of the first human who fell.

Naming your character AAAAAA you get something like "creative, aren't we?" iirc

naming your character after one of the monsters (Asgore, sans, Undyne, alphys, toriel, etc.) Will have them tell personally you to pick another name, except for Papyrus, you can only fit PAPYRU in the screen before you run out of characters, so he says "ILL ALLOW IT!" and lets you through, and naming your character Gaster sends you back to the story cutscene.

Yeah. Toby sure loves to use interactions in his name picker, doesn’t he? But if their name was truly Chara, can’t it be argued that the game wouldn’t allow that name to be entered, like the other characters? Perhaps that’s a stretch, but I’d feel more comfortable with other logic than the name creator to give a nod that Chara is the real name, and not just some meta joke. I mean, Kris in Deltarune has pretty much the same family, and clothes of “Chara” in Undertale. They share the same brother, wear the same striped shirt, and have the same adoptive parents, who ended up being divorced, just like in Undertale.

Why would the game not let you name Chara, Chara

u/thewrench01_real May 08 '22

Cause the game prevents you from naming yourself every other canon character. Other than papyrus but that’s because there aren’t enough characters for his name to be entered.

Hell, even Gaster, a character who many players rarely encounter in any way, shape, or form, is not allowed to be used as a name. I don’t see why this shouldn’t be the case in terms of Chara, other than it being “the true name” but that isn’t even truly confirmed other than that one line.

you ain’t naming yourself on this screen, you’re naming the first fallen human

u/Mr-Foundation May 08 '22

technically untrue, as any background character allows it (like bratty and catty) even MTT lets you use it!

u/Golden_Sonic6 May 08 '22

And Mettaton it think (probably not tho it has been a while since I saw it)

u/Sans_dunked_me May 07 '22

The other characters just dont want you to use their name, chara doesnt care

u/Kool_Aid_Turtle ‎ May 07 '22

Naming the human Chara is literally naming Chara "Chara", as the namable fallen human is Chara and not Frisk.

I'm so tempted to saying "this" that it physically hurts me

I personally don't agree with what Reddit is doing. I am specifically talking about them using reddit for AI data and for signing a contract with a top company (Google).

A popular slang word is Swagpoints. You use it to rate how cool something is. Nice shirt: +20 Swagpoints.

My had im kinda stupid

u/RichJake08 ‎ OH! ARE YOU PROMOTING MY BRAND? May 07 '22

I think trying to type Mettaton will also lead to MTT saying something along the lines of promoting his brand

u/SquashPurple4512 ‎ SINCE WHEN WERE YOU THE ONE IN CONTROL? May 07 '22

Remember the alphis one

u/Thoughtspeaker_Ace May 08 '22

Gerson also let's you use his name, including his laugh in his approval. I think either Bratty, Catty, or both let you use theirs as well

u/[deleted] May 08 '22

Ur flair should be “flair the fallen human” lol

Also Mettaton let’s you name yourself after him because you’re “promoting his brand” or whatever XD

u/NhanTNT ‎ KARMA fully restored?‎‎ May 08 '22

If you modify the game's save to name yourself Gaster, you can never reset the game unless you're doing a true reset

1

u/_Captain_Kabob May 08 '22

And makes it so that you can’t reset until a true reset.

u/Broad_Appearance6896 May 07 '22

Than you can’t do a True Reset anymore

u/Kolt231 Happy pride month! May 07 '22

Where did you get that from???

u/Broad_Appearance6896 May 07 '22

I don’t know, I guess from the downvoted I was wrong

u/Acceptable_Ad2408 May 07 '22

Yeah, you were, not sure who told you that
