You have to wear the same clothes your current icon wears every day for the rest of your life! How screwed are you?
im pretty chill. My icons cloths are the same as mine except her shirt has a :V so basically id get a free shirt
I got a theory. darkeners represent tropes and elements of RPG games personified. THat being said, my theory is that chara was a darkener. specifically the personification of leveling. always doing what it takes to get stronger. Stealing kris's body and later frisks if they do genocide because that rout shows chara that strength is violence but in true ending, chara helps frisk because frisk taught them that strength is helping your friends and protecting the innocent.
Anonymousohh chara being a darkner is an interesting theory!
obviously the only darkners we’ve seen and know as being such are the ones in deltarune, none of which appear to be human. kris is deemed a lightner, as is susie, but we don’t really understand what constitutes who is which. as far as i’ve come to understand it, lightners just seem to be ‘those living above-ground’.
if that’s not a requirement, though, and it has something slightly more to do with one’s true nature, it’s possible chara could be a human darkner.
i’m gonna give some direct credit to my friend @critical-quit because he also holds the theory that chara is meant to represent the essence of RPG mechanics (leveling, experience, power, etc.). he might be a good person to chat about it with, especially since he’s a fan of games like Cave Story and MOTHER and other games that Undertale and Deltarune draw influence from (comparatively, i’m a bit limited when it comes to references)
This does tie somewhat to my theory about there possibly being dark world counterparts to light worlders! Given what we’ve seen of Ralsei so far, several factors (his name, his identical appearance, the fact that no toys in the abandoned classroom correlate to him) imply that he is a dark world version of Asriel, perhaps equivalent to a Shadow from the persona series, given the Dark World has properties reminiscent of the worlds that Persona players enter.
It’s not unfeasible that the human child would have a dark world counterpart, and given what we know about humans and their overwhelming power of Agency in the games, it’s my own theory that our human counterpart is the secret identity of the mysterious Red Knight who disrupted the balance of Card Castle.
it makes sense for everyone to have a counterpart in the dark kingdom. After all, everyone has a shadow
