I’ve talked about the ‘chara’ sprites before, if briefly. Long story short, there are a set of sprites in the game called ‘Chara.’ Frisk’s called ‘Mainchara,’ the Chara we see at the end of the Kill-all is called ‘truechara’, but what is a little more nebulous is the existence of another set of sprites, these sprites, which are all called simply ‘chara.’
I once said that there was a lot to talk about here, but that that was not the time to dig into what these sprites are, or what they could or could not represent. And I stand by that, it wasn’t the time.
Now. Now is the time. This post is long, and there’s a lot of datamining stuff in here, so click at your own risk.
