So to the uninitiated, Chara is this awful trauma-bundle edgelord supreme and their shadow is going to be ramping all this up to the nth degree in the worst way possible and I am very very sorry.
This is obviously going to be a REALLY TERRIBLE TIME for everyone involved so I'll preface this with a warning that everyone with any CR with Chara will be a target. If your characters are gonna be too busy for this shit or you would just straight up not deal with any of it, that is absolutely fine and you are free to opt out as you would so choose. Likewise, if you don't have CR with this child and would like the world's worst introduction to them via their shadow of poorly-repressed emotion, COME AT ME SCRUBLORDS I'M RIPPED.
Chara's shadow is everything they've suppressed, every denial they've ever had about themself, made manifest. They're the solid representation of Chara's fears and general attachment to people - the way they end up caring about people despite struggling desperately not to. Their end goal is not only to get Chara to admit to these attachments, to every positive relationship they've ever formed, but is also to isolate them utterly from these relationships. Accentuate the negative, and carve the positive away. Take all of Chara's positive qualities and crush them underfoot, leaving nothing but the demon.
What does this mean for you?
It means that the requirements for Shadow Chara's dissolution before the event's end are...multi-layered. Certain benchmarks will need to be met. Certain interactions will need to be had. Certain admissions and confessions will need to happen. Numerous requirements will be met before they can disperse.
If all these benchmarks are met and the shadow dissolves, then Chara's sum EXP and LOVEwill be going back to 0. Hard RESET. GAME OVER. Begin again.
The kicker for this is that uh in the interest of not influencing anyone, including myself, OOCly to get a desired result?
I won't be telling anyone what these benchmarks are.
If you want closed starters or the like, please do let me know! Chara will probably be getting a log for this, and I'll be tagging them out deliberately to a lot of their CR.
