Undertale Genocide Package - Star 

FOR THOSE WHO WILL INEVITABLY ASK: "Star" is an unused track. It was supposed to play in the CORE if you stood against a Madjick's chaser orb attack long enough to make the attack turn into hearts that recover health. It messed with the regular CORE background music and caused errors, so Toby removed it. So yes, not related to Chara. However, some fans theorize that Star was originally meant to be Chara's theme. There isn't any real confirmed evidence of this in the game or from Toby Fox. That being said, Chara is the name of the second brightest star in the constellation "Canes Venatici". If you google the “Star is Chara’s theme” theory, there’s some fun stuff that isn’t necessarily supported by canon and no, I am not going to type the whole theory out in this youtube comment. TL;DR Star is often associated with Chara in fanon, along with the obvious buttercups and the heart locket. ANYWAY on to this song. So uh. This is my absolute favorite song on the scratch track list. When the scratch tracks came out in April, I was BEYOND hyped. So I went through the songs one by one, and when I got to Star I was absolutely blown away. I had been working on illustrations for a book at the time, and when it came to this one, I had no choice but to stop what I was doing and just listen while the song overtook me. I kept playing it over and over. By the second listen I had dozens of images in mind, but the one that stood out strongest was the picture of Chara with all the constellations and the game menu circle. I had to stop everything I was doing and draw it, I couldn’t NOT. Everything about it came so naturally, it was a burst of inspiration like I haven’t felt in years. That only continued when I got to work with Lore on the rest of the art, we both adore this song and it was such a treat to get to work together. I just adore the way Lore draws both Chara and Frisk, illustrating their differences while still making their connection obvious-- I love Chara's shoes so much. Also the way Lore draws legs, hands, faces, and hair is just delightful and I ADORE how her pictures of the starry sky came out. I love the subtle red coloring to Chara's hair and eyes while still making them look natural. The mirror image is also great, it’s just such a good concept. The star backgrounds on Lore's pieces are so beautiful, the shot of Chara with their hands turned upwards as they look at the audience has SUCH GREAT COLORS and I adore it so much. Also Alex, the little touch of static in Chara’s eyes when they switch to the creepy face is just SO GOOD. It’s been months and I’m still listening to this song almost daily, and I’m BEYOND excited that other people get to hear it as well. Eissibee really knocked this one out of the park, the scratch track is beautiful but GOD Eissibee’s voice. The way they hit such high, clear notes gives me chills The opening of the song just feels so sharp and clear, crisp, it feels to me like Chara has finally found their voice and is ready to speak. The opening with Chara’s story, “hoping that someone would find me” says so much right there. They threw themselves down for a very sad reason, but deep down, they wanted to be loved, they wanted someone to find them and be there for them. And then just as quickly as they open that chapter of their life, they close it, “it’s over now”, like they had this one moment of honesty and now they can’t bring themselves to go deeper into details. They fell, they were found, there was a life but it’s done now and there’s no point in discussing it further. The first point where the song hits that dark note that seems so vast and wide, that weird thrum that you can feel deep in your chest, it just hits so perfectly with “When they call my name, the demon comes, but am I to blame? I tried to be good, I really did.” This is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE part in the song, the sheer remorse in “I tried to be good” that comes from Eissibee’s voice, the way these lines drive home just how badly Chara wanted to do the right thing. How this line right here debunks the “Chara was always a demonic villain”, how this one line humanizes them so thoroughly. The sorrow in how Eissibee sings “Not sure I could”, how it echos the hinted fact that they fell for a sad reason, how that one line seems to hint that Chara has always worried deep down they could never be a good person. “Leaving two worlds broken, unfurled” is such a beautiful line, the acknowledgement that Chara knows by doing what they did, in spite of their best efforts, they truly believe they ruined what the Underground was. They didn’t just screw things up on the surface, they screwed up below as well. I adore the way “take” in “couldn’t take anymore crying” is barked out, that small bit of frustration with Asriel in that single line. The way that line can reference how they clearly pushed Asriel to not cry over this and not let his emotions get in the way of their plan, but then the fact that it’s just “crying” in general can also reference their own buried emotions on the subject. “Been disposed of” is just such a low line after everything else, so plainly spoken of, and it’s such a sharp contrast with the hard line of “Learned about LOVE”, the broken mention of “stars slowly dying”. I feel like this line speaks more to the stretch of time, of waiting, and then there’s such LONGING in Eissibee’s voice in “I once knew light, burning bright, shadows invade.” I adore the line “I’ve lost the dawn, sunlight’s gone”, how BROKEN these words sound, how wonderfully they echo the dramatic language of the original musical and how the dawn and sunlight were constant references. I love the transition after this where Chara states their determination, the harshness in the words “There’s no point now.” It’s such an excellent statement of the moment where they give up, that there’s nothing they can do, and then the way that twists to “I finally see neither world cares for me.” When you’re that deep in the hole, when everything feels so hopeless, eventually it feels like there’s no choice but to lash out. Even if they put themselves there, it’s so easy for that to get twisted, and it hurts because OF COURSE the Underground cared for Chara and of course Asriel cared but it wasn’t enough to save to them and look, no one really knew them anyway. It’s the moment where their pain goes from external to the knives turning outward, they are in so much pain and they can’t see anything else anymore. I love how final “no one can stop me now” is, how it’s sung with a bit of a flourish. It feels like Chara planting their feet on the ground, as if they’re going “FINE, screw it, this is who I am, I accept it.” “No hopes, no dreams, I have nothing. Death is all that can define me.” This line is sung with such pain, it seems so bitter, it’s such a stark contrast to the original UTM and it hurts. “Death is all that can define me” is SO GOOD. 'This is all I was good for in life and this is all I am good for now' Chara says. They wanted to do good, but in the end, all they can do is hurt people. The finality to “the end’s calling, no more stalling” is so good but then in the end Chara’s voice shakes on “Stars will fade, but I’ll keep shining”, as if they too are burning out in this single moment of brilliance. ...Suffice to say, this song means so much to me. It captures the feeling of self-destruction so well. It’s a song about how Chara feels they got a second chance and they squandered it. It’s a song about how far they’ve fallen, how they could have done it right but they didn’t and they’re in so deep now, there’s no crawling out now. It’s a song about crying out from the lowest point and it hurts so much because they put themselves there and they know they did. There is so much regret and pain in every line, moments of hope, moments of loss. There is depth and a sense of time passing, just this all-encompassing vastness of the starry sky and it makes Chara’s voice seem so small against it. This isn’t a song about Chara the demon, this isn’t all those evil giggles and mocking villain speeches against our heroic sans undertale. This is a song about Chara the PERSON, and it means so much to me. I just. I dunno. Something about the line “I tried to be good, I really did” nearly brings me to tears every time. I know that feeling, kid, it’s okay. Dear lord this comment is nearly as long as my Bring It In, Guys comment. Sorry I just. This song means everything to me-- not just because Undertale. This song makes me see myself in Chara, and that is SO important. The Genocide route doesn’t happen because you were taken over by some demon. It happens because… well, you’re human.. Humans fall sometimes and when you’re in that deep, it’s so easy to feel like there’s nowhere to go and even the stars have faded. This song is about that moment where it feels like your mistakes have swallowed you and it’s very poignant to me. Okay I’ll shoosh now. But um. Thank you for making this, MOTI crew. This is one of my favorite songs of all time.

I love the regret and pain you can hear in Chara's voice because it really highlights them as a character. They're not the main "villain" of Undertale, they're not a sadistic, crazed knife murderer, they're a traumatized kid who doesn't think they will ever have love-- or even deserve it. And didn't their death just prove them right? Now, they know that no one is going to be there for them except for themself. No one is ever going to push them down again, because they've made themself unstoppable.

At least this channel doesn't consider Chara as "a Demon". At least they still conserved the other aspect of the character, and why they get called "demon".

What I personally want to know is, besides Chara and Frisk, just _who_ were the other six humans who fell into the Underground? What were they like before they fell in? What motivated them to scale a mountain that had a legend that stated that those who climb it never return? How did they die? Did they even have names? I know that there are several fan theories out there, but I want to hear it from Mr. Fox himself.

When they say “learned about LOVE!” You can hear a growl to the word learned. It's incredible.

There is an odd truth with the line "When the stars fade, I will keep shining". The "stars" of the game, the characters we know and love, are dead. Chara remains. The "star" of the game's narrative, its very story, is over. But the meta commentary of Chara remains. Even when people will eventually get bored of the franchise, the fact that you are still playing more games with the same mentality of a genocide run is still true. Chara remains.

I love the times where her voice cracks on the verge of tears, the genocide package brings so much emotion to it all. Megolovania is filled with actual rage and anger, with him giving his all to it. In this song, Star, you can hear the tears in her voice. Well done MOTI Team. You've really given this your all.

Fan works like this really show the potential Chara has as a character. Sadly most people think Chara is just a murder child but like most things in Undertale there is so much more than meets the eye.

"No one can stop me now.." DON'T STOP ME NOW

This song is unused but it fits really well

*blood pours out of chara’s eyes* “I finally seeeeeeeee” Me: How can you see with blood in your eyes

The Genocide run's not Chara's fault, it's the people who press 'Fight' while playing Undertale. If it WAS Chara's fault, then I think their soul was filled with Hate mostly and just wanted to get over it.

Ok, I can say this now that all of the genocide package is out. This one is my favorite of the genocide songs. I haven't even heard of it before you guys did it, but now I love it sooo much! I am sooo glad you did this unexpected song!

I especially like the line “When they call my name the demon comes but am I to blame?” I like it because it shows that most fans think Chara is just an embodiment of evil and hunger to kill but they are much more than that. I love the art and the circle with Chara in the middle. The vocals are phenomenal and I can’t really express how good they are because I’m just some loser leaving a dumb comment no one will read. I’ve real fell in love with the geno songs and I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing. And yes like most people I was expecting The M-word but I was surprised by this new song id never heard and it took a couple listens to get the feel of the song and hear every word and I loved it. The reason it surprised me is that I didnt get the scratch tracks in April and didn’t hear any of these...

holly i loved thissssssss. Chara is one of the best characters of undertale, combine this amazing character with a aweasome voice and MAN THE ART!!! you will get this piece of heaven

Only a few seconds in and I have chills. This looks amazing. I love Chara’s voice, Eissibee was amazing, and these lyrics are beautiful great job MOTI

Here’s my theory. Maybe they were suffering from abuse. One hint may be when you check the faded ribbon: If you're cuter, monsters won't hit you as hard. That may imply Chara was abused by humans, and that's what caused them to hate the humans in their village. People may say Chara was abused by their parents, but the faded ribbon description may imply chara was abused by everyone in their village. Referring to the line in this song “Couldn’t take anymore crying” Another line that refers to this song is Greetings. I am . "." The demon that comes when people call its name. Meaning the line in this song makes sense. But the buttons turning into just fight means our control because we forced a 10 year old kid to see her friends and family die.

I've been avoiding these genocide tracks for weeks and I suddenly came back today too see how you guys are doing and holy moly this is a blast Star is honestly my top fave yet

2:12 Chara looks like she's playing rock, paper, sissors with herself

*Two left* Long Elevator and Groose's Theme.

I’m . . . actually in tears. This song just captures who Chara is perfectly. They’re a troubled child who went through something _so horrible_ on the Surface, they wound up hating their own species altogether. They climbed Mt. Ebott for an “unhappy reason,” potentially suicide, but then, Asriel found them. They had a family, they had a best friend, and they were loved by all of monsterkind, and yet their attempt to pay back that kindess not only put themself through an agonizing death, it got their brother killed, it split apart their parents, and it essentially destroyed the kingdom. And now Frisk’s here. And so are *_you._* Sure, you have the ability to achieve the happy ending Chara tried so hard to give everybody without killing anyone. They helped you with their snarky narration, and now that the job’s done, they can presumably rest in peace. But, of course, you can also slaughter everyone they know and care about. At first, they were so confused. Why are you doing this? _Why were they brought back to life for _*_this?_* But, well, they’re a child. Children are impressionable. So this must be the right thing to do. There’s no other reason why you’d do this, right? After a while, they begin to *enjoy* it. They say that Monster Kid looks like “free EXP”, they demand to know where the knives are, and they even make a few kills themself. And then, at the end, you finally meet them. They thank you for showing them the purpose of their new life. They congratulate you for doing what they now think is right. They offer to erase the world, because now that everybody’s dead, there’s nothing left for them here. And then you refuse. They’re in shock. You just killed everybody, even their mom. They killed their dad to appease you. You even made them kill their brother in one last fit of violent rage. And that is the straw that broke the camel’s back. They _turn on you_ because you just killed their whole family, and now you’ve just admitted that there wasn’t even a reason. From now on, they hate you and everything you stand for. Good going, asshole, you broke a ten-year-old.

That was fantastic! Well done! Was I the only one who expected a jump scare at the end?

So far, this is my favorite from the genocide package. Eissibee's voice for Chara is incredible. Just wow... I also love the artwork. Amazing work everyone!

You know what's funny? On my first playthrough of the game, BLIND playthrough, I named my character Star. It shook me as the game went on how much the named fits. Now I see this. Damn.

God, everytime Chara sings I just cry, I just love them so much

I never would have guessed that STAR would make it. Keep coming with the surprises, MOTI!

I wonder how many parents got mad when they saw the "when they call my name, the demon comes."

*When they call my name, the demon comes In the previous song Flowey *Howdy Chara *Oh Chara *Chara I have seen it all *Chara I can't predict you *Only one thing that's left, Chara *Chara, with you by my side *Chara did you do all this *WHEN YOU HEARD ME CALL YOUR NAME?* *Looks like you made them angry *You're filled with demons xD P.s. Like? Edit: Just a grammar mistake! xD

KRISTEN YOUR ART IS AMAZING AAAAA I'M SO PROUD OF YOU

Player: *Kills everyone in the underground* Also Player: "How could Chara do this"

I'M SO LATE GETTING HERE, but that was amazing. I was a little confused when I saw the title, but as soon as I heard the melody I recognized "Star". I couldn't remember what part of the game it was from, but thankfully Kristen Trawczynski explained thoroughly. I just want to say that Eissibee's singing was absolutely gorgeous. I don't want this comment to get too long since barely anyone will see it, so I'll leave it at that.

"MOTI" The only one who can make a good song balanced with melody and creepiness.

Top 10 Anime plot twists

Plyer: commits genocide Also Player: Why would Chara do this?

At 2:17, the thumbnail art is my favorite art piece. Also, I love the song and Chara's singing voice. Fantastic work, as always!

:o this song is fascinating. I love it. I love it so much. The lyrics, the singing, the art. I mean, it's nothing new, you literally always put excellent quality content out there, but anyway, great job everyone ❤

Personally, I don't see Chara as the one canonically in control in the genocide run. I think the player is still the one in control, and your actions corrupt Chara and that's what turns them into the demon at the end.

Creepy, calming, mysterious and amazing. Wow, I'm speechless, this moved my heart with being more terrified of Chara and feeling sorry for them. I love it! Thank you for all the effort that you put in so far and keep on doing it like you want to! because that is beautiful.

say what you want, for me these is the real Chara's theme

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! You know what I REALLY like? I like how the song really portrays Chara has having been good before, really tried to be good, but the consuming LOVE in the Genocide route causes the corruption. The whole song conveys a sense of being broken, both the song itself and Chara. Chara's not evil. Just broken. *hugs the little chocolate-loving child* This is my favorite song in the Genocide Package no doubt. Chara's my absolute favorite character in Undertale (both snarky narrator Pacifist and broken Genocide-child), and this song really did justice. Bravo!

0:23 “Life underground, it’s over now” GEEZ

Dang, can everybody just cool it on megalovania. At first you had people just non stop asking for it. Now people are just non-stop hating on it. I'm just looking forward to MOTI creativity on it and I haven't asked for it ONCE. God, I can only imagine the comments on it if they do make it... Two wrongs don't make a right people.

Me: *unholy screeching* Mom: What's wrong?! Me: *continues to unholy screech while repeatedly pointing at computer screen*

I like how you used star even though it was an unused soundtrack

Beautiful, not just the music, the lyrics or the voice, but also the art! ⭐

I've been listening to this since it came out and I just noticed all the symbols in the background at 2:10 fade to become the FIGHT symbol during "I finally see neither world cares for me". Bravo

Totally unrelated and minor spoilers but... Today I was listening to Hopes and Dreams from the pacifist route and I realized something Asriel says “You’re just a kid playing pretend.” After he finishes that part it flips and the hooman says the same thing bUT GUESS WHAT ASRIEL=GOAT CHILD GOAT CHILDREN ARE CALLED KIDS ARGGGGGGGGGHHH

This is probably the song I've been looking forward to most from the Genocide set, and it was h*cking awesome! So nice to hear Eissibee singing again, and Kristen & Lore's art was amazing!

This song helps me when I'm in a bad place, it helps to articulate the sort of thinking I can fall into, an expression of bitter and nihilistic rage. It's weirdly helpful, hooking into anger helps to keep me out of true emptiness and a proper description of it really helped. I'm generally in a better place these days, I just wanted to say thank you for this song that meant so much to me in my most terrible moments.

*singing to the uninformed masses* 🎶Chara isn’t the murderer it’s just you stop blaming her for your mistakes🎶

Wait for everybody complaining that it's not Megalovania. Jesus Christ guys, these songs are beautiful so just try appreciate the songs instead of going MEGALOBCQNIS IS NEXT!!1!1!!!1!!1!

This is a work of art. I love this so much, and it portrays Chara perfectly. Just... Wow. I can't even. I discovered this song about two days ago, and just, wow. This is perfect, beautiful. And Chara, their voice is amazing, Eissibee did perfect. I love this. Plus, just, sad. I feel so bad for Chara. "Neither world cares for me." OMG T^T "No hopes, no dreams/I have nothing/death is all that can define me" SAD SAD OMG T^T this song is amazing.

I am SO glad this song came out. I didn't even know it existed until jow and what better way to stumble upon it than to hear this beautiful voice and see these beautiful works of art?! Amazing job! I think this is my favorite song in the series!!

"Chara is my star" -Asriel 2xxx

Wow, just... wow. This song is... utterly amazing. I've never been a fan of creepy songs, mainly because I feel that too often, they fail to do what they intended to. But this? This song managed to both horrify and enthrall me. The genius lyrics, the mystifying art, the original melody, and the believably emotional vocals all worked so well and intertwined to create something... well, otherworldly. If I'm honest, though, this song really made me think. Although it's a truth I've known for a long time, I've never truly put much thought into it: Humans can be terrible creatures. Many destroy and corrupt of their own free will, for personal gain, not the slightest bit concerned about how their actions affect others. And those who survive? Their view of reality can be irreparably damaged. Which begs the question... was Chara one such victim? I believe so. What happened after whatever evil may have affected them, well, in the "demon's" own words, I ask, is Chara truly to blame? Their ideas of right and wrong may very well have been thrown into chaos, if not cast aside entirely in the aftermath. We are reactionary creatures by instinct. If someone pushes, we naturally do one of three things: push back, and blame the aggressor, hold it in and later lash out, and blame those around us for not doing something to help us, or hold it in and put the blame on ourselves. However, so often, it is the defiance of these instincts that is so often used to define one of the many meanings for the word "Humanity." Ironic, isn't it?

What's a star? Can you eat it? Can you kill it? Are you a star?

2:52 that's because you didn't see the drama that Asriel did for you

Oh my gosh Eissibee’s ability to change pitch at such challenging intervals is amazing!!! I love this song with my entire SOUL ❤️

This was really good. Too bad it's gonna be in the shadow of megalovainia

This is AWESOME!! Now I just have to stop myself from replaying it until it gets annoying.

2:12 Oh God, first Cultist Zenyatta, now this. "EXPERIENCE... NOTHINGNESS."

I've been thinking about something, every song in this package makes a specific character shine (Ruined was for all side characters), there are only two songs left (probably...?), and the next one will probably be Megalovania. This means only one thing. ASGORE WILL CLOSE THE MUSICAL!!! (Happy Asgore supporter screaming)

Unpopular opinion: Fav song on GP

Bro this is so nice, both this and it’s raining somewhere truly capture the canon personalities of sans and chara

'"stars will fade but ill keep shining."

This child was broken long ago and on this path we not only don’t help them heal but break them further. Part of me wishes we had a more uplifting version of this for a pacifist route where Chara is actually able to get better thanks to Frisk/the player’s actions, but might not fit the music as well.

I'm scared for Chara

I love that he made the song from charas point of view, it shows her motivation the same way we hear floweys back story

Oh my gosh, this is amazing. I had no idea this song even existed, but I've listened to it several times over the past couple days. Visually, my favorite part is when Chara is standing with all the extra arms like Da Vinci's picture of human anatomy because Chara is The Human but also inhuman because of all they've been through and the choices they've made. The sound is amazing and the lyrics are powerful. This is my favorite song yet!

Okay, I love this. So, that's what you mean with original package song. Nice change, for a sec I thought this was gonna be Long Elevator LOL Keep up the good work Alex :3 AND OMG THAT FINAL PART WAS TERRIFIC, LOVED IT.

I personally think Chara isn't evil. It's the player (you) who's evil. You killed everyone for the sake of entertainment, and yet you blame it on a child who was dead for decades. Chara went through too much.. and yet you blame it on the dead human child.

Was expecting megalovania but this Is good ;p Edit:Thnx for 40 likes Er Meh Gerd

I've found a song that explains that Chara isn't evil.... AM I DREAMING?! IF IM NOT, THANK YOU GOD FOR GIFTING ME WITH JUSTICE

To answer the question: "but am I to blame" No. The player is. The player gave Chara the LOVE. The player is responsible for the Genocide route. Chara is our scapegoat. We need to take responsibility for our actions. If you keep putting your sin on Chara, there will be consequences. You will have a bad time, not from Sans, but from me.

"Neither world cares for me. I'll stand my ground!" Self-defense, obviously. :P Bad jokes aside, this is fantastic.

3:02 sans: welp sorry kiddo you asked for it *megalovania intensifies*

when it said " no can stop me now" youtube crashed and i got so scared

This is off topic but the word "MOTI" in my language is a shortened version of the word motivation. Idk just realised that 😅

This song is really cool! Now about megalovania A large part of me doesn’t want them to do it just because of everyone asking for it so much a large part of me just wants them to do a bait and switch like what they did with determination. But the other 10% of my soul wants to hear their version of sans say “should be burning in hell”

3:28 Ok I really can't take this image seriously with that nose

Chara is an excuse for the player to act like it's Chara's fault they did all this, when it was really their own.

Chara deserves to hold all the power and shine brighter than any.

_Ow! Chara's voice.. is so.. Realy cool ^^_

I'm absolutely IN LOVE with this song! There's something so sentimental about it and I love it!

I think that this really shows that now, Chara is just a presence. They tried to be good, but their hatred wouldn't leave them. Their happiness with the Dreemurrs was temporary, humanity had affected them too much. Now they are just the dark side of determination. The power to achieve great and horrible things.

I was so confused when this first game out because I used to listen to the ost on the daily and I was like “this is such a pretty song why haven’t I seen this in the ost?” I then realized it was an unused song. This song has so much emotion about chara and how she was devoid of everything in life so the only thing she could do was kill. This is by far my favorite song out of any of the genocide package songs. I know I’m extremely late in posting this but I had to say this at some point

the fact that this song is 4:20 seconds long is amazing

“Stars will fade but ill keep shining” is chilling.

"No one can stop me now" Okay are we listening to Star or Don't Stop me now?

I just wanna say I LOVE the voice you chose for her, idk what it is about it but I feel like the actor captures what I feel like she is so well!

CHARA I LOVE YOU

Oh my god yes I've been looking forward to hearing Chara sing

This is absolutely my favorite track from undertale the musical

**looks at video length** nice

It was very beautiful and creepy at the same time. I liked it. =)

It’s so fucking hard to find scapegoat chara content, thank you for this

Wow... this is scary, sad and relaxing at the same time... i don't know how to feel about this. Nice job guys...

"You could reset, and yet even when you didn't exist my determination wasn't enough so I died and stuck around forever"
