SOULs

*" See that heart? That is your SOUL, the very culmination of your being! "*

In Undertale and Deltarune, A SOUL is the essence of someone's being. A vessel usually doesn't have a soul by default, having to receive one later on by various means. Some vessels (but not all) are able to show personality even without a soul, most likely in tune with what their soul WOULD have been otherwise.

Below is a list of various traits for souls that can be freely used.

*This list of souls/traits is NOT DEFINITIVE! As more events happen in RP, this list may be updated with more information or traits. Feel free to add your own to the list!*

## Canon Souls

*This does not provide all the details of the ingame souls! Please check the Undertale Wiki for more info on the official representation.*

* Red, generally accepted to be associated with Determination (although this is never outright confirmed)
* Orange, associated with Bravery
* Yellow, associated with Justice
* Green, associated with Kindness
* Light Blue/Cyan, associated with Patience
* Blue, associated with Integrity
* Purple, associated with Perseverance
* White/Monster Soul, Unknown trait. Commonly associated with Magic

## Unofficial Souls

#### Ungrouped

* Pink, Associated with FEAR (most likely due to camila cuevas' Glitchtale). Inverse of Bravery. Resolution is a positive trait tied to the blended trait version of this color.
* Black, associated with HATE (also most likely due to Glitchtale)
* White/Human Soul, unknown trait. May also be associated with Magic, be used for a human soul without a trait, or something else.
* Gray, with one of two meanings: either a SOUL that has lost its trait due to the users actions, or a combination of HATE + Magic *(see magic blended traits section)*. A SOUL that has lost its trait is typically lighter than a HATE + Magic combo SOUL.

#### Blended Trait Souls

*Sometimes, a soul will exhibit qualities pertaining to multiple souls while only having one color. This color is usually a blend of the souls that these qualities pertain to. This is not the same as Multi-Trait Souls!*

* Pink (Perseverance + Bravery), associated with Resolution. The positive version of the Fear soul.
* Gold (Bravery + Justice), associated with Optimism
* Lime Green (Justice + Kindness), associated with Tolerance
* Aqua (Kindness + Patience), associated with Sincerity
* Mid-Tone Blue (Patience + Integrity), associated with Curiosity *(THERE'S TOO MANY GOD DAMN BLUES !!!!!!!)*
* Indigo (Integrity + Perseverance), associated with Creativity
* Bronze (Determination + Bravery): associated with Ambition

There may be more blended traits not included on the chart or in this list.

#### Negative Trait Souls (HATE Blended Traits????)

*Alternate versions of the previously listed souls combined with the HATE soul trait**. These can be either inverses of the given trait, or possess the same traits as the normal souls pushed to the point of harm.*

* HATE + Bravery: Rebellion. Can also be an alternate appearance of FEAR
* HATE + Justice: Revenge
* HATE + Kindness: Fragility
* HATE + Patience: Madness
* HATE + Integrity: Sadness
* HATE + Perseverance: Jealousy
* HATE + Determination: Dark Red, unknown trait. *(rage?)*

Blended traits have their own combinations too:

* HATE + Pink\*: Anger
* HATE + Optimism: Pessimism
* HATE + Tolerance: Intolerance
* HATE + Sincerity: Dishonesty
* HATE + Curiosity: Desperation
* HATE + Creativity: Destruction
* HATE + Ambition: Lethargy
* HATE + Magic: ? ? ??? !? ?!??!?!?! ?!?? ? ? ?!? !?!?!?!?!?

\*(I genuinely dont know if this pink is the resolution pink or the FEAR pink please be nice to me)

#### Magic Blended Traits

*A combination of the Magic SOUL trait with the other colors.* ~~Some are just Synonyms That Sound Nice.~~

* Determination + Magic: Love
* Bravery + Magic: Strength
* Justice + Magic: Lawfulness
* Kindness + Magic: Benevolence
* Patience + Magic: Serenity
* Integrity + Magic: Unity
* Perseverance + Magic: Wisdom

Blended traits have their own combinations too:

* Resolution + Magic: ?
* Optimism + Magic: Hope
* Tolerance + Magic: Peace
* Sincerity + Magic: Verity
* Curiosity + Magic: Wonder
* Creativity + Magic: Inspiration
* Ambition + Magic: ?
* Fear + Magic: Apprehension
* HATE + Magic: (still undetermined) (pun not intended)

#### Multi-Trait Souls

In certain cases, a soul may have more than 1 trait (usually 2, more might be possible). This usually manifests as the soul being split down the middle, with either side having a different color and trait. This is NOT the same as blended traits!

Although unlikely, there's a chance a soul could naturally have a multi-trait soul with one half/part being a blended trait. Even more unlikely, but still possible, a multi-trait soul with MULTIPLE blended traits!

## Unusual Circumstances

#### Ves's multiple souls

Ves has only one soul at any given time, but has had four different types of souls along the way: Kindness, Justice, Integrity, and most recently, Love. Their Kindness, Justice, and Integrity souls were all lost at some point, for different reasons.

Their first soul, Kindness, was deleted when Bombs used the reset button, leaving them soulless for a short while. Their second, Justice, was invaded by X!Gaster, allowing him to take over Ves's body if they fell asleep. Ves eventually successfully ripped this soul out of their body, once again rendering them soulless. The third, Integrity, was (somehow i sorta missed this part) lost during a boss fight + after the summoning of their soul armor. They now house a Love soul. The side effects of swapping to a soul with a different trait are mostly undocumented as of now.

#### Butterflies

For many vessels with souls, they gained it by grace of The Butterflies! This unusual swarm of bugs will sometimes swarm around a specific vessel en masse. Unless they're interrupted in some way, both the vessel's chest and the butterflies will begin glowing the color of their trait (or traits, if multi-trait) until they dissipate, leaving a matching colored soul on the ground for the vessel. The butterflies appear to be sentient and able of understanding both normal speech and emotions, even being able to spell out sentences in response by flying in the right patterns.
