HELLO TUMBLR today i will be actually talking about bad omens & all my weird made up lore for ormen karmen instead of just drawing vague things related to it
ive been kinda on the fence about whether or not i should explain the entire thing bc i wanted it to be a written project where i gradually reveal things, but since i haven't started on an ounce of writing since i first came up with the idea and unfortunately probably won't anytime soon, i thought itd at least help to get all the lore on the table! this is probably going to end up a very long, messy, glorified ramble session, but i hope it at least helps my posts make more sense!!!!
so what's ormen karmens deal huh? what's up with that weird little idiot you draw all the time
TLDR;
ormen was a fumya who's birth came right before a really bad hurricane that did major damage to patapole & it's inhabitants. at a time where signs from the almighty were taken very literally, everyone assumed his existence was a bad omen & Meden and the Hero barely managed to stop them from murdering him to make their god happy again! as he gets older he meets kim, huk & nom, three rarepons who actually sort of listen to him when he rants about how Suck and Dumb the tribe is. they form a rebel group together with some slipshod equipment and use inanimate masks to differentiate themselves from the rest of the tribe. the rebels are captured at some point and brought back to patapole to be put on trial for trying to Fuck Shit Up™, but huk breaks specifically ormen out and the two run away for a bit together to try and figure out how to fix things. eventually they come to the conclusion that they simply won't be powerful enough to overthrow their captors on their own- ormen invites the demon Dettankarmen into the realm and sells he & his friends souls to it in exchange for a steady supply of power. Dettankarmen has bigger plans for their new tribe- a series of events leads to the shattering of the world egg, where akumapons and karmens swarm Patapole and flush almost every Patapon out of the island through violence (except for one, the Hero, who was given a mask to forget his guilt and was simply left behind to wander until the events of pata2)
THE WAY LONGER VERSION (IM SO SORRY)
IM SO GLAD YOU ASKED!!!! BASICALLY! back when the Patapon tribe was still in their prime, they were a little less friendly to eachother and their neighbors (judging by what they did to the ah oohs, and the fact that zigatons have an entire prophecy stating if they march they're just gonna fuck everything up) and they interpreted signs from the almighty very seriously. so like, one day this little asshole runt fumya got popped out of the mater tree, and on the same day, an awful storm tore up the island- it wrecked hunting parties, made an absolute mess of villages n huts, the whole nine yards, yeah? so, everyone's all frazzled and assumes the Almighty's real mad at them, and everyone's thoughts kinda snowball and it leads up to everyone concluding the Almighty's discheesed with the runt born from mater and assume they have to sacrifice him to make things better again!
meden and the Hero step in at the last second before any physical harm can be done to that Fumya, and just barely manage to convince everyone that they don't have to kill him violently to get God off their asses. the tribe's still wary of him though, and names him Ormen after a twist on Omen.
while physical harm was prevented, emotional harm sure wasn't!!! Ormen grows up around his tribe feeling very alienated, confused and angry from his first memories- he develops a temper and a tendency to second guess everything that generally just makes others want to stay away from him more. the Hero and Meden try to do their best to be parental figures in his life, but it only half works and eventually they conclude their intervention is only weighing him down and leave him completely alone.
when he's old enough to begin training, he ends up making three halfway friends- Nom the Chigyobi, Kim the Kanokko & Huk the Sabara! Nom is the only one he's actually close to out of the three- Kim is Nom's brother and follows him everywhere, so they just sorta side eye eachother like nervous dogs all the time, and Huk just likes having people to complain to and takes interest in Ormen's general views on Earthend and the Almighty. (to summarize those views- "theyre fucking stupid lol")
after a bit Ormen starts tossing the idea around of forming their own tribe to his friends, sick of pointless war and following a god that would have had him killed for being born in the wrong place at the wrong time. when he tries to express these views to the Hero and Meden, they seem to brush him off with halfhearted reassurance, and the rest of the tribe already collectively decided they don't like him much, so no point in talking to them. his friends listen, though- all for their own reasons, they find something they agree with in his words, and begin to conspire together.
one day, he has enough, and convinces the three to leave with him in the middle of the night to start their own tribe. four barely functioning teenagers, lost in the wilderness- it goes about as well as you would expect for them! after several near death experiences, the exhausted gang decides they aren't cut out for it and starts to hoof it back home. before they can completely admit defeat, though, they find something rather strange waiting for them- a small, ragtag group of pons that heard about their disappearance and wanted to tag along. apparently, they aren't as alone as they thought in their feelings.
now they can all find a place away from Patapole to camp out together, sneaking supplies out and beginning work on a place of their own to live in!! unfortunately, word travels fast around the city and a patrol group sets out to find their missing trainees. the makeshift base is discovered, and in a single moment of impulse, the new tribe decides to stand their ground and actually fight the concerned patrol group attempting to drag them all back home!
the patrol group was relatively unarmed, so the tribe barely manages to fight them off into retreating- however, soon they return with reinforcements, and the poorly trained rebels are swiftly defeated and taken into custody.
now this whole time, Huk's been tagging along with the single goal in mind of power. his hope is that if a new tribe forms, he'll become second in command of it, and eventually take over as leader- he's been given the shaft in favor of the Hero, a fellow Sabara, for so long that all he wants is to be in the spotlight. he's a Mahopon, but he has a very loose grip on his magic- conveniently, he only manages to break himself and Ormen out of their temporary cells, running away with him so that they can figure out how to break the rest of their group free and causing the trial to be postponed until they're found.
after a bit of back and forth, they realize that none of them are exactly... fighting fit, really. few of them have actually graduated training yet- there's no way they'll be able to fight off future squads the way they are now, and they probably won't have another chance to train. it's unclear who's idea it was, but one way or another, the idea gets in their heads to invite a demon into the realm- the demon of masks, Dettankarmen- and strike up a deal with it.
surprisingly, this works! Dettankarmen hears their woes out, and in their problem they see a solution to their own. they want to free all demons from hell to let them roam freely, but to do that, a mortal would have to break the World Egg- and here are a couple of mortal chumps, just begging to be pawns!
they agree to supply the tribe with power- the masks they wear act as a binding contract, keeping them tied to Dettankarmen's power and influence. what none of them know is that the masks are specially designed to neuter their common sense a bit, and give them sort of a brainfog over their memories, the kind you get when you're particularly stressed- this makes for a far more easily manipulated tribe.
completely clueless, Ormen seals the deal with Dettankarmen and takes up the title of Karmen, officiating the tribe's existence. one very violent prison break later, the Karmens regroup at their destroyed base, and begin to rebuild- when the next squadron is sent out to recapture them, they hold their own, again and again.
the Patapons grow uncomfortable and restless with the idea of competition forming right outside their city walls- and of course, everyone's problems fall on the Hero!!! he was the one that advocated for Ormen's life all that time ago, and now look where that's gotten everyone!
the final straw comes when the Karmens launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night that ends in the capture of the Patapon Princess. Dettankarmen's plan is quickly falling into motion- they use her as bait at the world egg, and the tribe forces the Hero out to go and retrieve her.
when he shatters it, Akumapons, now able to walk the earth freely, begin to swarm. Dettankarmen promised them Patapole as a place to stay, so long as they were able to take hold of it- they waste absolutely no time in doing so, and with Karmen aid, a full scale invasion begins. the Hero's unable to make it back to his city to help his people fend the beasts off though, because Ormen is currently trying to dispose of him and is terrifyingly good at that!!!
Dettankarmen observes the fight go nowhere for quite some time, as the two are evenly matched- once they become bored of it, they intervene to point out that in the distance, Patapole has already surrendered. The Hero failed. there's nothing left worth fighting for.
overcome with grief and the crushing weight of defeat, he's barely mentally present when the demon begins to make him an offer. he could forget his guilt, start again, get a second chance to make it up to his tribe- all he has to do is put on this completely unsuspecting mask, and everything will clear itself up!
he wastes no time in donning it, and just like that? boom, Memory Gone. all he's left with is a lingering sense of dread and the knowledge that he's to serve his tribe, but in all the confusion, he can't catch up with the last of them as the joint Akumapon-Karmen forces push the remaining Pons on the island to sea, fleeing by boat to safer lands.
once the dust settles, Patapole is under Karmen control, shared by Akumapons. Ormen Karmen has everything he ever wanted- his own tribe, far, far from the Patapons and their Almighty that wronged him so. he's finally won a hollow victory, and he can't place why he feels so damn guilty about it... he can barely even remember what he was fighting for to begin with. Nomen, Hukmen and Kimen become his closest underlings- Hukmen resides over financial decisions and political whatnot, Kimen functions as the head doctor, and Hukmen trains soldiers for combat.
Every night, Dettankarmen paces the length of the city's border, keeping watch for all that would seek to steal their tribe away from them and obliterating any threats with ease. Unlike their tether, Ormen, they're finally satisfied with the state of their living, and they bear a twisted sense of pride for their actions.
...it's only a shame none of it lasted, as the serpent consumes her tail. many, many years in the future, a ship sets sail for the shores of it's old home.
.....AAAND THAT ABOUT DOES IT! that's all the juice i have for one post- i still have so so much more to share, and i could go on about the individual characters all fuckin' day- if you guys actually liked this read, I could consider making similar posts pertaining to the individuals!! terribly, terribly sorry for how long that was- i am awful at keeping things concise, if you couldn't guess already!!!
