Theory About Brawl Stars (Very Longwinded)

I've been thinking about this for a little too long, and so far it's been bouncing around my head like a game of Pong. This will be longwinded, and even if it only reaches a few people, that's fine. I just want to get this out of my head and put it into text.

I've only been into Brawl Stars for maybe a year or so now, courtesy of Val/comet-wire showing me Mortis. (I like cryptic vampires okay?) But since then I've been a little more confused than anything about the game itself. Maybe too this'll just be me overthinking, but I don't care. I may not be fully versed in the entirety of the lore but I am enough to know something is realllyyyy fishy. (This also might be common knowledge and I'm under the belief I know something big lmfao.)

I feel a larger chunk of this theory also lies on bloodline theories within the game; you can tell that certain characters are related, but it's never really confirmed for a while after. An example of this could be Jessie and Pam being mother and daughter, or Leon and Nita being brother and sister. (And possibly Bo being their father.)

It's likely, though not confirmed, that Belle and Byron are brother and sister. The reason for this is just through their similarities: both are around the same age range (though that doesn't inherently mean much, but in-game the age range similarity sometimes means something), the similar hairstyles they have (both have some sort of slicked back style), both have a pink-glasses style motif, and both have some correlation to money, in Belle's case she's a gunslinger and thief, and Byron is a philanthropist and, in some sense, a thief as well. (MLMs.)

And I'm going to bring up an extended theory, regarding their kids. Belle is more easy to pick apart, as she and Sam are likely the parents of Colt. (Shown through Colt having the same hair color as Belle in one of her skins, and Colt having the same X on his chin as Sam, as well as having a similar hairstyle to the both of them, having that slicked back style plus the large sideburns.) Not to mention the fact that Belle Starr, who was likely the inspiration behind Belle, was married to a Cherokee man named Sam Starr.

As for Byron, there's the possibility he's the father of Edgar. My main reasoning for this is nothing more than they both have/had darker hair, as Edgar has a sort of bluish-black hair color, and Byron has salt and pepper hair. My other reasoning is because they were added so close together in-game, both being added during Brawlidays 2020. Byron was added as a part of the Town Trio, with Piper and Barley, while Edgar was added to the Gift Shop Trio, with Colette and Griff.

Okay, that was that. But, I have one more thing to say about that. I think Colette is Edgar's sister, and Byron's daughter. Now... okay saying this, is a bit risky, for one reason. I'm jeopardizing myself regardless. It's either I'm right, and a lot of people collapse over it, or I'm not right, and I will have to make a major change to this post. (Going to pin this in case that happens.) But why do I really say that? Yes, Edgar and Colette do look very similar, both having a hair swoop and kind of funky teen personalities, but there's another reason, and the main bedding for my theory.

I think Byron is more involved in Starr Park than he lets on.

Starr Park is the central area of Brawl Stars; a weird, cryptic, and sort of unnerving theme park. I'm sure a majority of us have seen the Starr Park promo videos, which showcase really peculiar things occurring in the park.

How exactly does that tie into Colette being related to Byron, and even Edgar being related to him? The simple idea that Byron may be one of Starr Parks primary investors, if not the current owner of the park. So, he's likely having his kids work there. This could be a bit of a hint toward his cynicism, but in one of his voice lines, he straight up says "CEO of Brawl Stars." And Colette is shown to be very overly obsessed with Brawlers, wanting to get their autographs and such, and nearly killing them in the process. Not to mention that she also has voice lines which she openly mentions Brawlers/Brawl Stars itself. So it could have been something where the pair grew up in the center of all of this, and either grew a slight disdain for it (or maybe it's just because Edgar is a teen) or a sever obsession with it, respectively.

Byron does not have any lines where he outright mentions Brawlers/Brawl Stars, though he does have rather cold voice lines, such as saying "Sign here, with your life", "You broke the contract", "Your tears fuel my laughter", etc. Very bizarre.

Moving down the line on this, a lot of the lore could also prove that Brawl Stars takes place in some fucked up amusement park, as I mentioned above that Starr Park was the central area of Brawl Stars. All of this, the battles, could all just be staged. Most all of the Brawlers we know might just be actors, or possibly bizarre experiments. (Mainly pointing to the Undead Trio on that one.) It's already been shown that Mr. P is a bizarre mascot, so anything is possible.

This can be further shown through the fact that a lot of the environments seem like theme/amusement park places: The Wild West, Gem Mountain, Retropolis, Super City, Tara's Bazaar, so on.

Starr Park even has its own website you can visit. starrpark.biz

Very reminiscent to Heaven's Gate if you ask me.

Going on there, you can find all kinds of... bizarre... things. Especially in the gallery. There you can find things such as a Spike mask, Morris's shovel, a Mr. P plush and concept art for him, an Eagle Hat similar to Bo's, hairspray like what Emz uses as a weapon, spaghetti.. on a stick... a hair comb likely belonging to Colt, a funny prop head that looks suspiciously similar to Poco, a large prop gun, a Dracula-esque coffin, a mechanical monster that looks like Nita's Bear, more fucking spaghetti on a stick, a poster that has a man similar to Colt on it... it is all very unnerving.

When Starr Park was founded, I have no fucking idea. Some of the lore suggest maybe the 1960s or 1970s? I don't... know... but that seems like a good timeframe.

Starr Park likely would have been founded sometime in the later 60s, and would've definitely been a fever dream for anyone going there. Belle and Byron may have been the children of Starr Park, in the sense their parents may have been the founders. (Hint, Starr Park. Belle and Byron are likely part of the Starr family.) Byron would have been next in line to own the park after his parents retirement, and Belle likely would have wanted nothing to do with it, instead running off with her gang to do her own thing.

Byron would have taken control of the park as an adult, and likely would have cheeped out on some things so he could earn more from the park. Which likely worked! And more likely than anything, the mortality rate went up! Fun day with the family am I right?

Byron would've also introduced the concept of Brawling to the park, as a way to get more people in. Have actors duke it out and people can watch as it happens. Starr Park would constantly be added onto to make room for new fun stuff.

Eventually people began to sign up to be Brawlers, and likely had to start living at Starr Park permanently, as to not disrupt the magic. Byron would also eventually commission robots to be made for the park, usually for maintenance around the park, but also for gimmicks and other things like that.

I probably jumped around with this, but I really just needed to get this out. So, sorry if this is all scattered to Hell or doesn't make too much sense. It's fun how a melee style brawling game can turn into an analog horror right as you're looking at it.

Oh wait, not to mention the newest Brawler Gus, who's supposedly a ghost.

TL;DR: I have a theory that's probably overdone by now, Byron and Belle are siblings, Belle is Colt's mom/Sam's lover, Byron is Edgar and Colette's dad, Byron/the Starr fortune is the main mastermind behind Brawl Stars, the park constantly adds new themes, Brawlers are hired on a consistent base, this crap feels like a fever dream, spaghetti on a stick.
