The Red Soul: An Undertale Theory

The Red Soul: An Undertale Theory

In the Undertale universe, there can only be one red soul, and it is passed onto a different human after its last vessel dies. That is the theory, and let me explain why I think this is the case.

When you are playing Undertale for the first time, you're led to believe (for the most part) that you are naming the human that you play as (Frisk). The name you pick is shown in the stats menu and it's shown right next to your HP and LV during battle. This wouldn't make sense if Chara and Frisk had two separate souls. This theory explains that: last time, the soul belonged to Chara, and now Frisk has Chara's soul.

Furthermore, I think it also explains why Chara slowly takes control over the course of the Genocide Route. Flowey, despite being a fucking liar, explains this as soon as you meet him: your soul starts off weak, but grows stronger with LV, and guess what you gain more and more of as you progress through the genocide route. That's right. LV. LOVE. If it were Chara's soul, that would perfectly explain why they take over - because when Chara's soul grows stronger, Chara also grows stronger.

Lastly, this explains why Flowey/Asriel believe that Frisk is Chara, despite them looking clearly different. Asriel would've most likely seen Chara's soul considering he absorbed it as part of Chara's plan. Since Asriel and Flowey both see your soul at the start and end of the game respectively, it would make sense for them to believe you are Chara if you were controlling Chara's soul.

So that's the theory: the red soul was once Chara's, and now it belongs to you.

So what IS this project exactly? I just found this blog

The Undertale Accessibility Project is looking for volunteer animators. The Undertale Accessibility Project is a volunteer based, fully voiced, interactive, and partially animated version of Undertale that will allow people with various disabilities to play the game. We are replacing the original 16-bit music with orchestral covers because the original style irritates some people with auditory disabilities. We are fully voice acting everything for people with reading disabilities. We have a control system that works through YouTube so that it only uses one finger. And some parts are even being animated.
