"Just one world. With the best of the others."
— XTale!Chara gives a proposition to Classic!Sans
**XTale!Chara** (also known as **Cross!Chara** when he's with Cross in his phantom form, and **X-Event!Chara**, or more simply **XChara**) is a major character in the XTale universe and *Underverse*. XTale!Chara was originally a child of XGaster, and after Ink!Sans shows him the multiverse, XGaster begins his experiment with XTale. With each new timeline, someone related to XTale!Chara would die thanks to XGaster. After a few more timelines, XTale!Chara tried to rebel against XGaster, but he's defeated and he ends up being XGaster's experiment, the X-Event, granting him his Overwrite powers. In order to keep his neglected brother alive, however, he overwrites himself into XTale!Frisk.

Rebellious again, they attempt to seek a plot against XGaster, but their failure to formulate a plan with what they now called Cross results in XGaster escaping and Cross absorbing him up from a dying XTale!Frisk, destroying the universe in the process. For the first half of Underverse Season 1, XTale!Chara would been trapped as part of Cross' soul, but by the latter half, they are able to use Underswap!Chara's soul to grant him full control and thus power over the Overwrite button again. However, he soon lost the power to OVERWRITE in Underverse 0.4, and perished without a soul. Pitiful of his demise, XGaster revived him, and now he serves as part of a nine-set crew of the remaining XTale cast.

## History

### Background

Originally created alongside XGaster and XTale!Frisk, XTale!Chara was greeted by a desperate Ink, who offered to show him and the others the Doodle Sphere in light of how XGaster wanted to destroy him and his other subjects. After seeing the Doodle Sphere, XGaster gains the motivation to pursue a universe greater than his, which included XTale!Chara.

### *XTale*

#### TIMELINE I

The first timeline of the XTale, XTale!Chara and XTale!Frisk were given to XTale!Asgore and XTale!Toriel through adoption. XTale!Chara ended up growing alongside XTale!Asriel, whom he loved dearly along with XTale!Frisk. However, XGaster's perfectionism shows up and in the end, the timeline is Overwritten, ending any relations with what he had with XAsriel.

#### TIMELINE II

With XGaster's formulating what he might concur with this second timeline, XTale!Chara feels upset over the abrupt ending of the previous timeline and he does not appreciate the second time he and XTale!Frisk are given to XTale!Asgore and XTale!Toriel. The former notices this, and XTale!Asgore gives XTale!Chara the strength to endure this radical change in their universe. With this bond, XTale!Chara is able to remain happy in this next timeline without the worries of XGaster, but noticing this, XGaster proceeds to murder XTale!Asgore for his own amusement. This angers XTale!Chara, to the point where he nearly stops XGaster from overwriting, but ultimately is reluctant to stop him completely, allowing him the time to overwrite this second timeline.

#### TIMELINE III

With this now being the third version of XTale, XTale!Chara is unhappy having to relive the same events without any of their loved ones knowing what they did in the past. He proceeds to call XGaster an "insecure old man", which he disregards as he overwrites this short timeline.

#### TIMELINE IV

After XFrisk is overwritten to have his genocide code enabled, XChara wanders out looking for his brother. He would soon stumble upon XFrisk, who attacks and nearly murders him until XTale!Muffet intercepts. XMuffet gives him advice to take out XGaster, which he does when he RESET the entire timeline to before XFrisk is corrupted. This angers XGaster to the point of overwriting this fourth timeline.

#### TIMELINE V

After XGaster got mad and overwritten Timeline IV, everyone's (except Gaster's) memories for XTale!Chara and XTale!Frisk got deleted. On a day which XTale!Alphys had a date with XTale!Undyne, XTale!Chara and XTale!Frisk tried to attack her, but XTale!Undyne managed to save XTale!Alphys from the X!Tale Brothers. When they were on the date, XUndyne wanted to talk to XChara and XFrisk thinking they were friends before and they had and issue. XChara and XFrisk explained everything to XUndyne, leading her to train XChara. XFrisk refused to get trained and left XChara's side. When they completed training and fought XGaster, it turned out that XGaster already killed XAlphys because she was a liar. After a few attacks XChara and XUndyne did, XGaster started controlling XAlphys's corpse and made her spawn copies of others and attacks them, leading XUndyne to telling XChara to run and sacrifice herself.

#### TIMELINE VI

After XChara lost the fight to XGaster, XGaster uses his hand what seems to be a spike to transfer half of his soul on to XChara and half of his determination on to XGaster, as XTale!Frisk watch in horror.

#### TIMELINE VII

XChara, probably controlled by XGaster, kills Xtale!Frisk. XChara starts crying becouse he wants him back. XGaster offers creating a new human partner, but XChara refuses. He also tries to reset, but XGaster stops him from doing it, saying that his DETERMINATION is gone forever and there is no place for him in their world. XChara says that their soul isn't satisfied and XGaster knows it. Then he overwrites himself into XTale!Frisk, Prototype number 2.

#### TIMELINE IX

Once again, he appears as a "phantom", but has much more of an influence over XTale!Frisk in this timeline. He initially states how he is already sick of the new timeline and wanted to have Frisk kill everyone who gathered for Prince Asriel's ceremony. This is interrupted by XTale!Papyrus's intervention. After XTale!Alphys scolds the X-Event for running off, XTale!Chara acts aggressively and tells her to 'go to hell'. However, after this event, he is not seen much besides a point where XGaster appears to be toying with them about every time the X-Event rebels, where he questions what he is planning.

#### TIMELINE X

X-Event!Chara doesn't make an appearance until during XTale!Sans' dream, which he tells him that he'll be his best friend soon.

He makes further appearances as his phantom form, telling X-Event!Frisk about his plans, and asking if he's okay after XTale!Papyrus hits his brother hard.

He reappears again when Cross enters, and again after he steals their soul. After this absorption, XTale!Chara tries to kills his new owner so that he can return to his brother, but Cross kills XTale!Frisk, ruining that chance.

### After XTale/Before Underverse

Now living within Cross, XTale!Chara decides to closely examine Cross' relationship with Ink. After Error takes their soul, XTale!Chara is able to come free from Cross, and he escapes his lonely universe.

### *Underverse*

#### Underverse 0.0

Cross!Chara intercepts Sans' own world with his to explain that his timeline won't change when he's involved. Not liking the idea, Sans nearly kills the both of them, but explains to him why he needs to stay, before taking half of his soul, as fake mercy. Proclaiming that he'll take a break forever, he's suddenly interrupted by Ink!Sans, explaining that he'll never find happiness in someone else's timeline. This breaks into a fight between the both of them, but Cross!Chara is defeated and imprisoned. Just before they could ask him why, Cross!Chara said they needed their own universe, and leaves with his half soul.

#### Underverse 0.1

Now back in their own universe, Cross!Chara tries to explain why they're doing this, and asks if he's scared that he'll break free, telling Cross that **they** would've wanted this. After absorbing the soul, Cross!Chara tells him of the other universes, and once Nightmare!Sans shows up, Cross!Chara tells Cross to negotiate a deal with him.

#### Underverse 0.2

Now in Underfell, the two of them begin performing The X-Event, thanks to Cross!Chara's code. Once Cross is impaled by Underfell!Sans, Cross!Chara begins his assault on him, and pronounced that he's the X-Event.

When Sans begins asking about XGaster, Cross!Chara tells him to leave, at which once Underfell!Sans is released from Ink. Sans throws his slipper at them as a joke. This was enough to distract the both of them for Underfell!Sans to be freed from his control and begins to attack Cross. (not knowing that he was also harming Sans himself) Cross!Chara then helps Cross escape Underfell!Sans's Gaster Blaster attack, promptly ending the encounter.

#### Underverse 0.3

Although Underfell Snowdin is theirs, Cross!Chara isn't satisfied with Cross' inability to get a human soul for him. By convincing him to sleep, he takes control of Cross, but doesn't get any further, as Cross impales his left eye to knock Cross!Chara out. Once Cross himself is knocked out after a short battle in Underswap, Sans' soul is taken back, which leaves an opening that Cross!Chara uses to get 95% of Underswap!Chara's soul, bringing him back to his normal form.

With this, **X-Event!Chara** also has the ability to overwrite at his will. He overwrites the Underswap crew to kill each other, then transforms Underswap!Sans & Underswap!Papyrus into amalgamates, which briefly attack US!Chara. **XE!Chara** then attempts to take a white vial from Ink, who promptly kicks it out of **XE!Chara's** hand. **XE!Chara** forces **US!Sans** & **US!Papyrus** to attack **Ink**, which fails. **Ink** takes the vial back, and the Underswap crew is reverted to normal. **Underswap!Sans** begins to battle **XE!Chara**, who stops mid-battle to talk with "**Cross**". Nightmare is bored of this, and allows **XE!Chara** to kill someone.

On the verge of this, **XE!Chara** forces Underswap!Sans to kill him, which would also kill Underswap!Chara, as he had most of their Soul. Underswap!Papyrus tries to stop this, to be interrupted by Nightmare. Nightmare says something to him, which causes him to lose hope accepts his death after stopping US!Sans' blaster. Before being hit by **XE!Chara**, **Sans** jumps in the way, and takes the hit. This, however, happens to hit the ketchup bottle in his jacked, negating the damage. **XE!Chara** explains to **Sans** that his world isn't what it was meant to be, and tells him to kill Ink, but Nightmare had had enough, and stabbed **US!Chara.** **XE!Chara** leaves with **Nightmare**, and just before teleporting away, tells **Sans** to "spend his last moments living the life he once lived".

#### Underverse Xtra Scene 2

His pre-0.3 self can be seen in Undernovela in Error's dream. XTale!Chara refuses to take Undernovela!Frisk's soul, being that they have a mustache, which they don't find very polite. Cross complains about this, citing that if he doesn't take his offer, he'll take a monster soul instead to shut him up. Their continued arguing is what allows Asgoro and Sans to enter in to demand Undernovela!Frisk back.

#### Underverse 0.4

**X-Event!Chara** does not appear until about one third into the episode, where he is found back at his universe with **Nightmare**. **Nightmare** is upset that **XE!Chara** is not causing enough negative feelings. **XE!Chara** retaliates by stating "It's not my fault you let your guard down, stupid octopus", which causes **Nightmare** to grab him in a choke-hold and tell him that he's lying, stating that he's not using his full potential, and that he still feels mercy. He says that **XE!Chara** is holding back, just like he did in the past with **X!Gaster**, revealing that **Nightmare** had been watching the whole time, during the events of XTale. **Nightmare** then says that he'll take **XE!Chara** to a genocide timeline to redeem himself, but **XE!Chara** refuses. **Nightmare** then explains that he's helping in exchange for his freedom. It's then revealed that the soul fragment taken from Underswap!Chara is disappearing. After a bit more conversation, and the addition of yet another Antagonist, **XE!Chara** is taken to Outertale, which happens to be where the others are.

Later, during the battle between **Ink** and **Error**, **XE!Chara** plays a small role in attempting to take the vial yet again, but fails. After **X!Gaster** is released, the rest of the soul taken from **US!Chara** disappears, and **XE!Chara**, without a soul, cries that all his efforts were for nothing, and disappears violently, exclaiming that it's "not fair". **X!Gaster** takes pity on him, and brings him back, ending his role in the episode.

#### Underverse 0.5

**XTale!Chara** only plays a small role in this episode, appearing in his adult form along with the rest of the XTale cast and **Ink**, during a small scene when he acts aggressive toward **X!Gaste**r and **Ink**, and before attacking Ink, is stopped by **XTale!Frisk**, who seems to have no control over his actions.

#### Underverse 0.6

**XTale!Chara** once again plays an incredibly small role in this episode, where near the end, after the conversation between **Core!Frisk** and **X!Gaster**, he brings up the point **X!Gaster** made, in which he stated "Emotions distract me". **X!Chara** asks if his emotions distracted **X!Gaster**, in which he got no audible response. He then says that **X!Gaster** is hiding something, and asks what he wants with him, which appears to visibly affect **X!Gaster**, hence the deepened scowl on his face, and the way **XTale!Asgore** reacts. **X!Gaster** then says that he wants him to shut up, and the episode ends.

## Appearances in Other Media

### X Event (Friday Night Funkin' Mod)

XTale!Chara appears as the opponent for the first stage of the X Event Mod, specifically in the state he was in after Underverse 0.3 Part 2. He has a brief conversation with Boyfriend, where Boyfriend encourages XTale!Chara to sing, leading to the first song of the mod, Overwrite.

## Profile

### Appearance

In his standard form, he wears a black undershirt, a white T-shirt, black shorts, white boots, and a white cape at his back. Like all the other timelines, he wears a gold heart locket. He has white long curly hair with bangs covering almost both of his eyes. His eyes in The Truce were originally normal, but due to the experiments performed by XGaster, both of his scleras are completely black, with his right pupil being red and irregular, and has a scar on it. When he's corrupting code, his left eye also become irregular, with the colors being purple instead. "Irregular" can be described as a large ring, with x-like points on the "corners" of this ring. There is a smaller circle in the center of this ring of the same color, separated by the sclera

While in his phantom form or his soulless form, he wears a white jacket instead of his T-shirt. He wears neither his heart locket, nor his cape.

### Behavior

Before XGaster started OVERWRITING the timelines, XTale!Chara was very happy and peaceful but as XGaster started meddling with XTale!Chara and his loved ones lives he became more and more aggressive until he rebelled against him. During Timeline VI he’s shown to kill a brainwashed XTale!Asgore showing a loss of morals.

Once XGaster forcibly takes half of his determination and corrupts him with half of his OVERWRITE soul, X-Event!Chara has become much more sadistic, even killing his own brother several times in Timeline VII. However he still loves his brother convincing XGaster to let him revive XTale!Frisk. Ever since he OVERWRITTEN himself into XTale!Frisk and became the new X-Event he played the role a master puppeteer manipulating others for his own gain. He influenced XTale!Event Frisk to try to kill XGaster, and when Cross killed him, he tried to manipulate him into getting him a human soul. Once he got a human soul and was able to OVERWRITE again, he was extremely sadistic taking pleasure of forcing UnderSwap!Papyrus to attach himself and UnderSwap!Chara, and then to stab his own brother. However, Nightmare!Sans later berated him on holding back his full powers, saying that he still had a pure heart and had mercy.

## Abilities

As a phantom, he can influence the person who's hosting his soul to do whatever he wants, and if they refuse to, he’ll take over their body. Once he has a human soul inside him, he can, and only then, can he OVERWRITE, with half of XGaster’s soul he is able to completely change the reality of a timeline, an example being able to turn UnderSwap!Papyrus and Sans into amalgamates. He's a very skilled combatant because of his training with XTale!Undyne, having good fighting skills and being able to create weapons of determination even without having the OVERWRITE soul to create weapons for him. He can also summon his own hack knife but it’s purple instead of red.
