Endymion Theory Crafting

Made this topic as an Endymion Theory board. Where we connect the clues of the plot as it goes on and make theories based on what we know. That's about it...

I'll start with things I think are already kinda confirmed.

So Unknown (also known as Rei) was the cause of the Eternal Divide and the original Nyarlathotep Wild Card. Apparently she was pretty normal until she started hearing voices at her doorstep every night that turned her insane, if what she said in her prelude topics were true. So from that, we can guess Nyarlathotep or Lucifer was probably behind that, considering how they had her go activate the terminal and bring demons into the Human World.

She apparently died in a fight with Yomi and was buried with the Terminal with Raidou. Apparently her essence or powers were passed down to the PWC which is reaaally strange. Which makes me wonder when Yomi turned off the Terminal and went insane, did a piece of her mix in with Yomi and cause that.


Yomi was the original PWC and the only guest of the Velvet Room in the prelude. She sacrificed herself to put an end to Rei with the help of Raidou. She's marked as dead, but as we've seen in these other topics there's a chance she's either trapped in the demon world alive, or that's a flashback and she's truly dead but we're seeing what happened to her. Might explain how her power moved onto the NWC.

We know Tormented one is Lucifer's pet that can shapeshift and also orchestrated the Eternal Divide. However, we didn't see them during the fight between the two Wild Cards so we're not sure what part they played in it. And in regards to this, a scientist named "Lou Siffer" I believe was the one who helped them build the terminal. Obviously Lucifer. Most likely for the purpose of bringing demons into our world.

Now that wave hits the whole city, who knows.. maybe the world. Regardless, Endymion was the epicenter. In those five years apparently the Queen pulled the city back together with the help of Julian, Serenity, and her Royal Guard.

HOWEVER, as we've recently learned she didn't save the city from demons but instead from us. Atleast it's hinted by Claire that we all were batshit insane and destroying the city, and she was the one who reclaimed order. I suppose by some sort of brainwashing.

Infinite Jest is probably remnants of Rei who were not brainwashed by her. I don't think their goal involves "freeing everyone's minds" but more so it's about causing everyone to go insane again. Also they seem to be looking for someone, and it can be argued that maybe Rei isn't dead if Yomi is potentially alive. But who knows. I personally believe it's the person the Queen was talking too in the basement of the prison.

Now when it comes to Lisa, I think she's important in the plot. She's the only child adopted by the Queen and rearrange her name and you've got "Isla". I have no clue if this is by chance or if there is a connection. If you were in Ueitawa you'd know this isn't the first time Phile has done this. We had a character named Marah B who turned out to be Brahma in disguise. So who knows..

Then in a recent topic, Doppelganger said something about there being something worse than Demons and Humans. I'd guess that leaves Angels or Shadows they're talking about.

Might of missed some things, but any thoughts?

Pretty much sums up what I had thought so far and much more.

But if Rei is the person locked up in the prison, it brings me to a bigger clarification that Rei is the resource that allows us to tap into our potential as Persona Users or whatnot. Kill her, you could potentially take out every Persona User that have awakened after the Divide. And without a ready army of Persona Users, what's stopping the demons from eating us out?

But that's still under the assumption that killing her would eliminate the seed of madness in our noggins. Or potentially eliminating her could lead us to even more unbridled madness. Who knows? I could be talking shit out of my mouth.

I don't really have much to contribute, just stopping by to say this is interesting stuff so far (-w-)b

Okay, this is all good. I really admire this, Xombie.
Which means it's my turn to step up to bat.
While I don't have much, plot-wise, I do have some theories regarding Jest and other things that i've noticed. It's not much, but I hope it helps.

The Jest::

On the Wild Cards::

The Queen::

Well, that's my theories, anyways. This may be me ranting, but I think it has some merit. That's all for now....
