#Jax npc theory

hh

npc

so anyway developments in the au plot hehe

when the gang all try to leave the uncanny world pomni made, the key she programmed in to get them out doesn't work. they kinda glitch and no-clip as a result, all scattered throughout the bottom of the map---amidst all the assets! now remember this world was originally created by caine a really long time ago and pomni just reused it as a base? well the original setting and plot had to do with anthropomorphic animals. a certain rabbit character had been sculpted and programmed, but scrapped and forgotten by him as he made the world. but that npc still existed ! and so, forgotten and having nothing to do in the world, he had snuck into the circus when the adventure was done oooo

he was hiding there for a long time before he witnessed kinger appear in the circus. that gave him an idea: he'd fake being a human coming in and just hope for the best. so he did, and caine, having forgotten all about him, just kinda accepted it and called him jax! and jax has been hiding this ever since :) until everyone, underneath the map, stumbled right across his model :))))

everyone is very disturbed and things will not go well, but for now, everyone's agreeing to go back to the circus and pretend nothing happened hahaha

some more proof jax npc Theory isnt real

In glitch X 2023, goose said “jax definitely chose his own name”. NPC’s are programmed w/ names so he couldnt have chosen his own name if he was actually an npc

Bitches will see a license plate and think 🫵 JAX NPC THEORY REAL (im bitches)

[fungi-rat]

another NPC Jax thing

so now that more theories are out here’s some theories I wanted to mash together for something.

so @pixelated-moon made a post mentioning how the normal npcs in the circus are marionettes, which could imply that they can “wear” the avatar skins like they are premade and the npcs simply wear them and act out the role they are coded.

but how does this connect to Jax being an NPC? If a NPC pretended to be him real Jax would know. Well,

This theory by @stardust948 gave me an idea that

-Caine accidentally kills real Jax and doesn’t know

-a Marionette NPC finds a way to wear the Jax model

-he blends in with the rest of the cast

this is how Jax has a door despite being an NPC. Caine just didn’t get a chance to mark Jax as dead and so the NPC replaced him and just made Caine think he was human.

I think this would make sense and I think it’s pretty fun. That’s all. Thank you to both of these people great theories!!

"the Jax NPC theory doesn't have a lot of evidence!"

... I'll admit we don't have a lot of evidence for it YET. But have you considered how he's the only character out of the "humans" who isn't based off of an object or toy, but instead an animated rubberhose rabbit? A thing that fundamentally "isn't real" in comparison? Have you considered that wee little inconsistency that more than likely was intentional?

Also not to mention his very first line in the series was "Caine, is this a new kid or another one of your NPCs?"

[ilikeendermans]

I think Jax might be an NPC even more after episode 3. He refuses to hold his breath and ‘let the mystery be alive’. I think he’s just trying to hide the fact that if he holds his breath, he just dies or looses breathe.

[irrational-anthropocentrism]

This may seem a bit far fetched, but , something I haven't seen anyone point out as evidence for Jax being an npc is the fact that , well , Caine , apart from being the ringmaster of the circus, has also this *slight* magician aesthetic going on around him; his long suit , his staff, let's not forget that he always seems to pull out bubble out of his hat.

And do you know what else magicians pull out of their hats?

What I'm trying to say here is that Jax may have been originally created as another companion for Caine.

I still can't figure out what sorts of events led Caine to "forget" Jax is another NPC... but , wait , would you look at that one episode 3 line?

Caine is literally the only artifical intelligence we've seen that takes "commands" (in this case , Zooble told Caine to forget their problem , and Caine LITERALLY erased that from his memory in less than a second) and, in most cases, executes them.

Now , Jax could have outsmarted Caine after gaining self-awareness , commanding him to just "forget" he was ever an NPC , or his companion.

Here's random Jax art I made for no reason

[twistedpretzles]

i think 2 things of the jax npc theory

1 gooseworks is fucking w/ us

2 he is an npc

i originally thought that zooble was gonna be an npc but if any of them are its def jax

[aalien-s]

im seeing a lot of the npc jax theory and though i must say i like it (literally just cuz hes my fav) i can see it more being Kinger than Jax.

short rant under the cut

Kinger has been here the longest- Long time for Caine to forget and none of the current squad to know (someone that abstracted mighve known)

Kinger calling himself a royal in the pilot- he wouldve probably been coded as a king and seems to genuinely think he is one.

Hes been there for so long, is literally insane and yet, he hasnt abstracted. Im guessing NPCs cant abstract.

i think itd be funny if Caine just made an npc specifically for Queenie during one adventure and maybe Queenie got so attatched that she brought him with her and maybe abstracted soon after. So when Caine found Kinger he thought he was Queenie (as in: Queenie never existed instead it was Kinger all along)

anyway i dont really care what happens. it would also be extremely hilarious if the creators put that Caine line where he said that he can forget whos an NPC and whos human, just because they knew ppl would go crazy with the implications lmao. ik its been said that theres a lot of hidden secrets and forshadowing (if im not wrong ofc), but not everything has to be.

spooOooOooOoky adventure!!

(half because some of them are afraid theyre lost, half because replacement jax is freaky.)

everyone is trying to act as normal as possible, and so, pomni made a new little adventure---just a simple corn maze. unfortunately shes a scaredy cat and even though this is A Normal Corn Maze and she KNOWS this for a fact because she made it, she still has scared herself (at least shes got ragatha to hold her teehee). gangle too, though everyone else is mostly okay... although, they are unnerved by replacement jax at every turn

the real jax would be snarking and hiding in the corn to jump out and scare everyone... this guy just. stands there. unsettling to everyone, but especially ragatha, whos pretty used to trying to keep him in check,,, but now theres just nothing there,,,

also obligatory happy halloween :))) will probably make silly bonus sketches of halloween costumes why not

[lizdiz]

Over on tadctwt, someone blocked me entirely for joking around with the npc theory. Like what? 😂😂

(worst part is, they didn’t even cross my name out. I had to do it myself here)

[sunnysunsins]

YES that's my crack theory! *prepares to rant* Out of the cast so far he feels like an npc that was playing the villain role in one of the stories and snuck in with others into the circus, pretending to be human after (maybe his adventure got derailed with someone else's arrival, he saw it and played along as if he's also a human that just got taken here)

His base desire is chaos and he avoids any emotional human interactions and such (like the funeral), like he doesn't feel like he belongs for it, he never experienced death so he can't relate like others. He just relies on his asshole persona and nobody suspects a thing, Jax being Jax.

Also iirc Gooseworks said in one post that Jax deserves to be here most of all. And who deserves to be in this world more than it's npcs

I read a theory somewhere about Jax being an NPC and I drew this

[purplerabbitkisser]

so we all know the npc jax theory but

what if he didnt know

aftermath

(i might make this into a comic if this gets enough attention)

edit its finally here
