Chara Valhinduleste

> Something I’ve learned throughout life is that if you want something done right, you oughta just do it yourself. People don’t always know what you want, and that’s just how things are, though you know what you want better than anyone, so sometimes, it’s better to just deal with the cards you're dealt.

Chara Valhinduleste was a successful human that later on in her life became a scientist. She progressed to great power, only to then get killed by Zealot.

## Biography

Chara was born into a wealthy family, this alone making her far more fortunate than most humans at the time, as while there weren’t many wealthy families. The explanation for their wealth being the several large companies that her parents owned across the globe, so while growing up, money was the least of Chara’s worries. As she grew and matured, she quickly found herself enveloped in science, though at the time, no specific branch of science struck her interest. Chara was gifted, in more ways than one, that’s for certain. Normally when humans around her age were starting to solve simple addition and subtraction, Chara was already solving multi-step algebraic equations. By the time she had reached late junior high, she was solving college level math problems such as basic equations of Calculus problems. Despite how intelligent she was, Chara also found herself reading almost constantly, these books either being Science Fiction, or about different branches of sciences themselves. Once it was time for Chara to decide what she wished to do for the rest of her life, she still was unsure of what she wanted to do, it’d obviously involve some degree of science and math of course. Her parents had been pushing her to follow in their steps, this being to begin her own business, as they had been encouraging this ever since she started school.

Chara spent the majority of her young adulthood studying the many different branches of sciences and even some engineering, these topics including: Physics (Astro, Quantum, etc.), Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering along with several others that she minored in. Over time, she had eventually discovered a new branch of science that peaked her interest more than anything she had been studying previously. These studies are the inner functions of human and monster souls. Chara was aware that each human had their own trait, her trait specifically being a unique one. Determination Souls weren’t very common among humans, as the chances of a human having Determination as their soul attribute was quite small, the odds being somewhere between 0.005-2%. After she had dropped practically all of her other studies to focus on her new passions, she had shifted gears entirely, as within just a couple months after her college graduation, she had purchased several acres of land out in the middle of nowhere, given the nearest city was at least several hours away. Chara had obviously gotten the money from her parents, as despite everything they did to persuade her in the beginning, they were fully supportive of her efforts and career. Years would pass before Chara finally had her entire laboratory set up, and then finally, she’d be able to further the research that she had so much passion for. The papers that she published about Human souls caught the attention of humans and monsters alike, Chara now creating quite the name for herself. Everything had been going smoothly up until “the incident.”

Chara had several contraptions of all sorts in her lab, some more dangerous than others. The incident had occurred when Chara was testing the limitations of her own soul, as she knew of no other humans that had Determination souls, and with no other option, she used herself for the experiment. It started with the mere piercing of skin, as she needed a drop of her own blood. Using a knife from the kitchen she had, the human had done just that, the blood sample quickly being dropped into a flask. She would be experimenting with the large machine that had been recently constructed on her wall, as it appeared to take the shape of a large, skull-like object, several thick tubes, each one being about twice as thick as the average human arm, trailed up toward the ceiling and down into the ground. Once approaching the machine, Chara extended her hand outward, a bright red soul now appearing above her palm, this being her very soul, the one thing that made her who she was. With some obvious hesitation, Chara pushed her soul into the machine, this being the beginning of the incident, as for the machine to function properly, the tangible item (in this case, her soul), must be placed into the extractor at a constant (or near constant) velocity, so this hesitation resulted in a system failure within the machine. This system failure had initiated the many backup protocols that Chara had built into the machine, yet none of them were able to stop what came next. Chara, who was now in a state of panic while also trying to retrieve her soul, had attempted to reach back into the machine to attain her soul once more, but instead, the two eye sockets the machine had were now glowing a bright red (mostly due to her soul) as Chara was then pulled into the machine, seemingly, she blacked out after that.

Upon awakening, Chara found herself in what appeared to be a purely black space, this either being a very, very dark room, or potentially the void, as mortals can’t truly comprehend the concept of absolute nothingness, so it’s normally portrayed as a black, empty space. Chara slowly rose to her feet, as she could faintly make out the silhouette of a person in the distance. Just like any other human, curiosity got the better of her and with this, Chara progressed forward. After about ten seconds of walking, Chara had suddenly grabbed both sides of her head, what felt like a very painful headache had now settled in and it almost brought the human to tears. This was when things became far more interesting, as Chara was now sitting on the ground, though she could make out what appeared to be symbols briefly flickering within her vision, almost as if she were looking through a broken screen. The pain never did go away, though it was something she had adjusted to, which was odd, given that usually she had to take all kinds of medicines to get rid of her headaches. Nonetheless, once she stood up, she was greeted by the mysterious figure, which was purely black apart from the white mask that it wore. The mask appeared cracked and had a smile carved into it, the fractures in the mask leading from the eyes trailed toward the opposite sides of the mask. Chara then heard what appeared to be the sound of something dripping; to say the least, she was very confused, but that’s when she realized that it was the figure before her, it appeared to be dripping and radiating with the Void itself. The human wasn’t given much time to process her new discovery before she was quickly wrapped in what seemed to be the void itself, her vision now starting to become fuzzy as what she could only deem a message was now displayed out to her.

🕈︎ ✌︎ 😐︎ ☜︎ 🕆︎ 🏱︎ 👍︎ ☟︎ ✌︎ ☼︎ ✌︎ 📬︎” The message was followed up by a loud, distorted noise, one that Chara couldn’t comprehend at all before she no longer could see the figure that stood before her. She couldn't feel, see, hear, smell, or even taste anything. Her senses seemingly had been ripped away from her as she sat in eternal darkness. After some time, she was starting to feel something against her back and beneath her; perhaps she was finally waking up? Turns out she was, as over time, her senses were slowly coming back to her, and that’s when she finally opened her eyes.

Before she had awoken, there was an interesting sound that could be heard, it sounded like a ding in a sense, yet it wasn’t like anything she had ever heard of before. Upon opening her eyes, she was greeted to see that her entire laboratory was in shambles; fires raging from where the extractor had previously been, her equipment completely engulfed in the flames. Everything she had worked up towards was now in complete ruins. She couldn’t dwell on this for very long as her primary goal was to find the nearest exit and escape the scorching inferno with her life. She wasted no time as she darted toward the emergency exit she had built into the laboratory, though on her way towards it, she was struck by a falling piece of the ceiling, ultimately being crushed beneath it. What now sounded like something cracking filled her ears as the sounds of the fire and alarms died out, Chara once more being engulfed in flames as her own soul was the only thing displayed in the darkness, a large fracture now forming down the middle of the soul before splitting in two. Is this what death was like? Did she finally push her experiments too far and this resulted in her own death? These were the types of thoughts that now began to dwell and build within the human’s mind, yet instead, she watched as the soul before her reformed, a single sentence now forming beneath the reformed soul.

“\*But it refused..” With this, Chara’s ears were greeted by the familiar “ding” sound as she once more returned to the laboratory, this time, her body being entirely engulfed in a bright red hue as she now held what could be presumed as a knife. She’d swing her hand in a horizontal motion as a bright red slash was now unleashed from her hand, following the same formation she made with her hand. This slash struck the barricades that blocked off the emergency exit, and in one, bright red explosion, they had all been moved. Chara was now moving at speeds she couldn’t even comprehend, her body completely on autopilot and within seconds, she was now outside of the laboratory, with this, a button of sorts now appeared out in front of her left hand (as she was wielding her knife in her right hand), this button had one word on it, “Reset”. Chara still had no control over her body, so when she pressed it, the human watched as the destruction done to her lab, as well as the fires that scorched the forest around her laboratory were all reversed. Unfortunately for the human, multiple helicopters were already on the scene, so seeing how all the damage was instantly reversed raised many, many questions. Chara, who now regained control over her body, was completely exhausted as she collapsed on the grass, her gaze shifted up toward the starry night sky, which was no longer tainted by the smoke and chemicals of her laboratory.

The incident was something that Chara would never forget as she, as it had mentally scarred her for the rest of her days, and while many humans still had their suspicions about what happened, and how it linked to the human, overtime, it slowly died out as life returned to “normal”. The term normal no longer applied to Chara, as her life would most likely never be normal again, she had to spend months, maybe even years mastering her abilities and newfound powers, her soul trait not only being Determination, though it was now titled “Purified Determination”.

### Personality

Chara is surprisingly a rather caring human. She never found the meaning in violence and absolutely hates getting into conflicts, given she prefers to avoid them at all costs. She’s usually able to keep a very level head, as unlike most humans, Chara doesn’t have a short temper and does whatever she can to help people out. She’s also an easy going person, though can get easily excited, especially with those she’s close with. Chara does often spend most of her days experimenting, or she did prior to the experiment, as after the incident, that really changed how she acted as a person. While for the most part, not much of her personality changed, though instead, she’s more hesitant to try new things, unless it’s for a very specific reason or goal. Now, Chara still continues her research on souls, though it’s mainly for her own entertainment as she lacks any other motive to do so.

Another thing to know about Chara is that she hates being left alone or abandoned. Over her life, she had met many people who she had trusted with her life, only for them to abandon her when she truly needed them the most. In short, Chara suffers from Autophobia, the fear of being alone or forgotten. Due to the loneliness she had experienced for so long during her adulthood, she does tend to get rather clingy to those she does meet, but this clinginess isn’t a permanent thing. Once she’s sure that someone won’t just leave her life and ditch her like everyone else, she usually becomes far more relaxed and isn’t nearly as clingy. When alone however, Chara does tend to act very, very different compared to her more usual, easy going self. When Chara had gained her powers, she had “glitched the timeline” in a sense, as the events that unfolded during her experiment weren’t intended to happen. When this occurred, she found herself in what she could only deem as the Void. Due to the ever-stretching darkness that had engulfed her for so long, this most certainly left an everlasting impact on the human mentally, this simply fueling her Autophobia. When alone, she’s always heard mumbling to herself, especially when she sleeps, as this would be due to her constant, recurring nightmares of what happened the day of the experiment. She also tends to become far more concerned about every little detail, oftentimes hallucinating the figure that she had seen back in the Void. Nonetheless, over the years, she’s slowly learned to control these negative effects, though sometimes, her emotions just get the better of her.

Occasionally, Chara can suddenly just lash out, especially when she’s under immense stress or simply just angry (despite not getting angry very often). When angered, things tend to escalate rather quickly, though as she matured and aged, she learned to have more control over her emotions, though if someone were to find out what really makes her tick, then it wouldn’t take very long to anger her. Once angered (in terms of combat), she does tend to attack with far more force than what she normally would, this however does in turn drain her stamina, energy and overall magic far quicker than normal, though due to the enhanced Determination that she now has, she can often exceed and push her limitations, though this normally happens when she’s been angered. In the end, Chara isn’t exactly a person you’d like to see mad, yet it still takes a lot of effort to actually anger her.

## Abilities

### Authoritative Reset

After the incident that occurred in her laboratory, Chara had overcharged her soul with pure Determination, this granting her control over the timeline she currently resided within, this being why she was able to Reset, while also having the capability of Loading and Saving. Under normal circumstances, Chara is only able to use this ability as a standard Reset, though in terms of beings who are incapable of destroying entire Timelines, she can alter their stats (to an extent). When using her Authoritative Reset on these beings, she can reduce their stats to a third of what they had been previously while also decreasing their speed. This debuff and temporary stats debuff only last for a certain amount of time, and Chara can’t use the ability too often, as it really does strain her soul.

#### Omega Reset

Once having fully taken control of her Purified Determination, Chara can Reset on a far larger scale, this being Chara’s most potent, and probably powerful attack, as with this, she can reset entire timelines and even Universes. With this ability, Chara can completely Reset entire chunks of time and space (these chunks only being about the size of city blocks, but could potentially be larger) to suit her need, for example, Chara could use her Omega Reset on the ground beneath her foe, this causing large, purely red spikes to erupt from the ground, or it can randomly use an attack that Chara has, and repeat said attack in a more confined space, making it more difficult for her foe to avoid it.

### DT OVERDRIVE

Chara’s capable of completely shattering her limitations, her feats always reaching new heights. Chara’s able to temporarily harness all of her Determination at once, this allowing her to unleash large shockwaves of pure Determination and energy. This pure power tears through time and space at immense speeds, as not only do these shockwaves launch anything hit by it backwards, though these shockwaves can result in temporary paralysis, allowing Chara to deliver several fatal blows while her Determination remains in Overdrive. Chara normally doesn’t use this ability for longer than a few minutes, meaning that it’s unknown how long Chara’s vessel can maintain the strain that her Determination provides.

### Determination Infused Knives

Chara normally uses a knife as her primary weapon when in combat, though if she so desires, Chara can concentrate her Determination into said knife. The result of this being that the knife will become purely red, handle and all, while black circles among other symbols would begin to form on the knife itself. Chara can unleash slashes that mimic the swinging motion she makes (for example, a horizontal swing would create a horizontal slash). These slashes can cut through anything within the known Universes, yet anything beyond a Universal scale will just be severely burned.

### Scorched Determination

Chara can use her Determination itself as a weapon, given she can fire large projectiles as well as large, bright red rays from her hands. This attack consists of Chara’s Determination purely, meaning most monsters it comes in contact with will be scorched or melted on the spot, as monsters tend to have little to no tolerance for Determination, especially when it’s as powerful as Chara’s.

### Determination Infestation

Chara can unleash thin, almost atomic level rays from her fingertips, these rays will pierce through almost anything that consists of physical matter, given these rays can pass through the gaps between molecules, sometimes even atoms. Nonetheless, if something, or someone were to be struck by these microscopic rays, the first sign of this being fatigue; whether this being tiredness, lack of basic functions, or overall exhaustion, these are the effects of Chara’s specialized Determination infiltrating one’s magic reservoirs or bloodstream. After the effects of fatigue kick in, one will begin to feel immense discomfort from the inside moving outwards. The pain starts off as subtle, though overtime, it’ll progressively worsen until it’s nearly unbearable for most entities. The final stage of this will be that the Determination within one’s vessel will now begin to drain the target’s magic, until finally, a purely red dome materializes around them. This dome will remain stationary for at least fifteen seconds before rapidly shrinking down in size, practically crushing the person(s) within said dome for milliseconds before the dome rapidly expands outward in the form of an explosion, dealing heavy damage to anyone within range and probably capable of leveling entire city blocks.

### Total Decimation

In terms of Destruction, this ability is on par, or surpasses that of her Determination Infestation. Chara will initiate this ability by thrusting her knife into the ground, a dark red circle that stretches to equal several city blocks (the range and destruction possibly being amplified when harnessing her Purified Determination). After retracting her knife, several large slashes will rain down from above, and rush forward from the sides, practically every direction apart from below. These slashes deal far more damage than her traditional slashes, as these slashes can cut through entire planets like butter, though it’s unknown of the damage they’ll be able to inflict in terms of the Universe itself. Once the rain of slashes has ceased, large, bright red spikes will be unleashed from the ground, these spikes being equal to the size of large buildings to potentially even the size of mountains. Bright red lightning strikes will then rain down from the spikes, striking anything within a close proximity with pure, overcharged Determination, this often causing weaker entities to explode on the spot. Finally, once all is said and done, Chara will lift her knife upwards while most likely moving back. With Chara now outside of the bright red circle on the ground, a large, purely bright red ray will shoot upwards into the sky, this ray being the size of the entire attack diameter as everything within this range will be enveloped and rapidly damaged by the ray. This Ray does also nullify most, if not all forms of escape, this including, yet not limited to: Teleportation, portals and gateways, basically stunning anything within range.

### Determination Nullification

To put it simply, Chara’s authority in terms of Determination overrules most. To put this into perspective, if Chara were to venture out of her timeline and into a basic Undertale Timeline, while the Protagonist, Frisk, would have control over the timeline prior to Chara’s arrival, after she arrives, the ability to reset, save, and load would then be passed over to Chara as long as she remains within the timeline. Chara is able to (for the most part) overpower most other forms of Determination, this including Artificial Determination, substitutes for Determination and even abilities that grant the user some sort of alternating effect (an example of this being Overwrite).

## Weaknesses

Physically, Chara isn’t in the best of shape, as she often tends to get worn out quickly. With this, due to the fact that she’s a human, her body can only handle so much, as even while compared to other humans, she can partake in far more conflict involving magic, but compared to what a normal monster, or magic wielding entity can do, Chara’s still on the weaker side of the scale. Chara doesn’t have complete control over her Purified Determination, though enough control to where she can still deliver threatening blows and attacks, though with practice, she’d most certainly gain more control over them.
