ROARING: A MILLENNIA AFTER.

a story about fixing a world you broke.

R:AMA takes place in a alternate timeline of DELTARUNE, wherein the player ends up choosing "Give Up" on the game over screen, causing the world to be covered in endless darkness, taken by the roaring. now, 1,000 years after the roaring, the player finds themselves drawn back into the world they abandoned, tasked with fixing what they did. gifted with their previously discarded vessel they had curated themself, they journey out into the new, bleak, nightscape they find themself in. You are the only one who can bring back the light. You are also the one who caused it all to disappear.

[CONCEPT] ROARINGS FORGOTTEN TITAN CULT PART 2: MODERN AGE.

Although as a whole Perfection In Shadows had fallen apart, there were still stragglers from each party who still wanted to continue their beliefs. Over the next 500 years, both of these groups would grow on their own, constantly being at odds with one another, and their origins as one group, and PERISH as a whole, would be forgotten to time. Those who wanted to use the Titans would devolve into righteous "law"-carrying coalition of bandits and raiders that would continue directly in PERISH's footsteps, adapting the wrappings and robes into TITAN-LIKE disguises and armor. They would go under the new name of "The Hunters".

Meanwhile those who wanted to understand the Titans would evolve from simply understanding them to worshipping another thing entirely, that thing would end up being a deity they call "Migration", also known as THE MOON. They originally would hope to reach an understanding of the Titans through communication with their Deity, but, at some point, they had shifted their goals into protecting those who needed travel, or protection from the Titans, hoping to preserve their people until an understanding with the Titans could be reached, if at all. These people would go under the name "Servants of Migration".

[CONCEPT] ROARING'S FORGOTTEN TITAN CULT.

The Titan Cult, also known as "Perfection In Shadows" or "PERISH" for short, was a very old cultist movement that went extinct 500 years ago, originally started sometime around year 200 of ROARING this group worshipped the Titans and saw them as "Perfect Beings" sent down to cleanse the imperfection from their planet. Those aligned with PERISH would wear ceremonial robes and wrappings made to mimic their look, and would search to understand the Titans, and their motives. Often times, they would end up scouting and drawing attention to non-PERISH-aligned groups and settlements to draw the Titans to them, believing that all that do not believe in PERISH should be removed and are of lesser creatures compared to them.

[CONCEPT] WHATS UP WITH THE MOON IN ROARING?

Although the sky is coated in darkness, painting the sky black and preventing all sunlight from coming through, the moon still plays a semi-important part in the "culture" of the ROARING landscape. These two explanations are examples of that, Happy Reading!

Burning Events: The "Burning Event" is a natural (if rare) ROARING phenomenon where the darkness that coats the sky becomes just thin enough for the dim light of the moon to shine through, the effect of being filtered through pure darkness is that the moons rays are compacted and focused into a large spotlight-esc beam of moonlight being shown onto the earth's surface. This beam of moonlight, being a large source of natural pure light, can easily burn away Titan and Titan-spawn that come into contact with its rays.

When a Burning Event occurs, Wandering Survivors will often congregate into the safe-zone created by the natural light, and migrate to wherever the light takes them. This also brings a ton of risk with it as well, from raiders and bandits looking to pick off the migrators, to large swaths of Titanspawn or even Titans disturbed by the unfamiliar phenomenon, all sorts of dangers are drawn in by the moonlight, so being careful is imperative if you are going to travel with the Burning Event.

Mythos:

In what culture exists in the lands of the ROARING, you'll find that there are specific terms created for things lost and then re-found in the past 1000 years. One of these things is the moon. While the moon is decently understood as a physical object, it is often referred to as the "Guiding Light" due to the nature of Burning Events providing both Safety in combination with Travel, With the moonlight burning through the Titans and their spawn in combination with the movement of the light guiding travelers, it's certainly a wide-known phenomenon.

Facts about absorbing souls:

USER = the one who absorbed the soul OWNER = the spirit the soul is connected to.

When a soul is absorbed, it is stored in the body alongside the main soul (standardly, this is represented as it being below the main soul physically)

The absorbed soul is used as a sort of "battery", allowing the user to pull from that soul for magic and energy. this is an exhausting process for the absorbed, and if strained too much, can crack or even break the soul, since it only has a loose structural connection to the users body, the soul itself is still extremely fragile.

An absorbed soul's owner is not allowed to move on to the afterlife until their soul breaks as the spirit of the soul's owner is trapped inside of the soul itself.

Absorbing a soul does not transform the user in most cases. (barring exceptions like Arirong)

Absorbing souls is no longer dependant on species, although, absorbing a soul the same type as your own has consequences (much like cannibalization)

It was a common myth that absorbing souls would bring the user closer to GODHOOD, although that may have been true at one point, the ROARING's altering of reality seems to have changed that if it was the case.

It is not possible for an absorbed soul's owner to communicate with it's user. if the user allows, even subconsciously, it is however possible for a soul's owner to influence it's user in many ways, in cases like Arirong's, even deliberate control of their limbs, like a sort of impulse reaction from the absorbed soul itself.

(sorry this took so long to answer! I genuinely could not figure out what to draw for this nor how to draw king)

King was an odd case when the ROARING occured. He went from a sulking monarch to a ruthless leader, taking initiative as one of the hometown protection coordinators during the initial outbreak. After Hometown was overrun, He would wander the dark, mostly looking for his son after they got separated. (Lancer went with Susie and Gerson.) by the time King found his son, the time was already up, and his boy was a statue. although he and Lancer are separated by the time you arrive, originally, his statue was found on it's knees, staring downwards at the Lancer statue. it's unknown how long he stayed in that position before he turned to stone.
