Description
Your power awakened me from death.My "human soul". My "determination". They were not mine, but YOURS.
At first, I was so confused. Our plan had failed, hadn't it? Why was I brought back to life?
Β FIGHT / MERCY

Dang I love this interpretation. When I realized Chara was talking to the player/reader I got chills

It took me a moment to realize they were talking to the reader!

Don't worry! I had to take a break for a few weeks but now I'm working on it again! It's going to be LONG, though, so... You still have to wait at least two weeks before it's done. Sorry!

Oh, that's fine. I'm mainly curious as to what happens to Chara, as she doesn't really appear at all on that route. Frisk is definitely in control there, so I'm eager to see if Chara decides to change, fades away, or something else entirely. But If there's stuff you need to do, I can wait.

Now THIS is what I interpret as the player's influence. Β Not only do they influence what Frisk do, but they also affect character that especially can both see through the 4th wall and by Frisk at the same time. Β Chara, as darkened by humanity as it is, can be influenced to be pushed over the point where they just don't care who dies and just kill just for the sake of killing or to redemption and trying to make things better(not undo everything, just make it better).Β

I like this interpretation. The name we give the child is supposed to be ours, right? The fallen child might not have been the best person, but in the end, it up to us (the player) to choose what we do while we're here. Do we gain lots of LV, by killing every monster we come across? Or do we show mercy, and save frisk, save Asriel, save Everyone? Whichever route we choose to take, we must stay determined.

Thank you! Yeah, Toby did say that you should use your own name for the fallen human. And yeah, that's exactly what I wanted to convey!

Hehe, I like that everyone is eager to do the right thing. I'm going to publish the FIGHT option first, but you can think of it as something that would've happened if you HADN'T chosen MERCY.

Well...
Prepare for the fans to give you a REALLY bad time.
Β Not me though

I dunno, I feel like everyone wants to know where both options would lead, right?

I like your style and how you portrayed Chara and Asriel so far. Especially that "Kill or be killed" philosophy ~
I wonder how it will continue...

This was sort of how Chara was painted in the game. Don't get me wrong Chara is still a psychotic genocidal monster but Chara hated humanity and seemed to want to prove a point. Only the strong survive, it's kill or be killed. Using their "best friend" as a pawn to start a spree of destruction on humanity with Chara ruling over Asriel's body. Failing at that decided to kill all monsters to gain enough power to wipe out the world. Which happens in a genocide run, the moment Flowey and Asgore are dead, Chara destroys everything in the blink of an eye.Β
This is is the philosophy of a pure nihilist. There is nothing worth living for but for yourself. If you're not with me then you're against me, Kill or be Killed. Chara lost faith in the world and took joy in their own power and ambition instead.

I just love Chara. There's so much that can be interpreted.
I also really love this comic and I'm so intrigued to see how it will be continued ~

Thank you! n_n Next part (FIGHT) should tell a lot about Chara. It's quite long, so it's taking a while to draw, but I'm slowly getting there!

Are we actually meant to tell Chara what to do, or is it a rhetorical question?
If this is actually a choice for the readers then I have to say mercy.

It's basically trying to convey what I think happens in the game, where YOU are in charge of the final decision between fight and mercy. I'm going to be drawing both options for this comic, fight first and then mercy!

Cool.
I'm excited to see more.
I really like the art style as well as the concept of Chara being with the player the whole game influencing their decisions, which to my knowledge hasn't really been done in a full set of comic pages.
Keep up the good work.
