behold. my heir

uuuu lore ramble beneath read more ... kicks pebble

their lore isn't really set in stone but here's a bunch of little tidbit ideas

- they were the Ancestor's Final Atrocity, being an attempt to contain the very heart of darkness with a body made of flesh scraps sewn together (it uses the very thread that used to hold its body together in order to sort of mind control others it's smth i will explain later in the post)

- in a way it was successful in creating an imperfect reflection containing an offshoot of the hod intended to defeat the heart (fight fire with fire type deal)

- the letter was to give it instruction before the ancestor did something really funny

- it is the reason why dd is cyclical in nature because with every playthrough it becomes attached to the relationships and the hamlet and the people there and it knows that once it defeats itself there will be no reason for them to stay

- in a sense the Heir becomes attached to the hardships it watches them go through and since it's mostly organic material it develops emotion in a very flawed sense to the point of obsessing over the heroes

- every time the hod is defeated the heir gets consumed with this mental spiral that causes it to impulsively revive the hod and restart the cycle

- every reset also resets its own capacity to feel for the heroes and every time this happens they slowly fall back in love with them rinse repeat

- the teal(?) strings are my way of incorporating dd1's gameplay loop into the character. they act as puppet strings that allow the heir to sort of control a hero's rational thoughts which causes them to act a certain way without being aware they're being controlled by an outside force

- the heir can see the heroes' actions because it's an offshoot of the hod but it cant see everything everything because of the actual hod limiting its power

- they are heavily clothed because they dont want anybody to see its actual form (insecure baby)

- most of the time when they give instruction it's a written request, but in direct conversation it speaks directly to the mind and from an outside perspective it just looks like the hero is holding a one sided conversation but to the hero they think they're talking normally

- it very rarely speaks with its actual voice because it sounds like the overlap of every single creature used to build its physical body. including things that do not have vocal cords complex enough to support human speech so its actual voice is very difficult to listen to

more lore coming never

The Heir uncovers their Ancestor's last journal entry. His final words to himself before composing that fateful letter and slipping away eternally...

Deep within that damnable volume you finally uncovered what you had been searching for. The final pages detailing your ancestor's journey. Few pages remained between them and the book's limit. It had been filled almost in its entirety. Eagerly and desperate, you began reading that final page. The last page on which your ancestor had spilled ink in crooked form to spell a message to no one but himself. A last word of goodbye.

"Ambition has brought me to my knees.

Within the rituals containment I had felt the captain, the leader of a cosmic crusade. I realize now, that the rules of the bargain had been obscured from me intently, alas the deal is final.

Powers of the cosmos, once so evidently fluid within my grasp have ebbed to a laughable dribble, siphoned away by those truly deserving of them. I have become underling of the crown, no more than a peddler of their influence.

The gruesome realization of what it is that has been summoned into life below these ancient walls, of what it is that I have brought into this world, has sent my mind into a shattering tailspin. The very nature of that thing, the utter stunning implications of its mere existence. The shrilling horror I experience at the mere thought.

Terminally askew by that terror of my own creation, I find myself incapable of any further selfpreservation. My every step unsettles that which lurks below and its strenuous echoes send blasts of bewildering madness through my mind. I can not rest, for my spirit is ablaze with the imagery of cataclysm. I can not run, for my body buckles under the tremors that be.

There is a riotous mob outside the gate that will have me dead within the day. Their covetous shouts ring in my ears as I am writing this. I have invited havoc and it has arrived at last.

Nothing more remains for me to do."
