Ultimate Nameless Ghouls guide

Nobody asked for it, but why the hell not?! Warning: looooong text, silly descriptions, shit ton of links and silly collages (sorry, tumblr only allows 30 pictures per post)

Happy reading!

4 Papas, 5 eras, different cool looks. There were a lot of changes, loooooots of Ghouls, but it's not as compicated as it may seem. It's worth noting, that most of the names were given by fans (because Mr.Forge simply didn't wanna). There are many ways to tell them apart: -by the way they are placed on stage -their alchemic symbols (check out my Meliora guide where i shed more light on this topic) -their height and body types -body language -their instruments -jewellery -date of the photo/video (mhm) Let's start from the very beginning!

Opus Eponymous era (October 23, 2010 - december 15, 2012)

(from left to right: Omega, Earth #1, Lake/Water #2, Alpha/Fire #1 in front and Air #1) There were only 5 Ghouls: Fire/Alpha, Quintessence/Omega, Chain/Water (later Lake), Earth #1 and Air #1. Since 2011, Ghouls were placed in certain areas on stage: Quintessence and Earth on Papa's right, Water in the middle, Air and Fire - on Papa's left.

Alpha aka Fire Ghoul #1

Lead guitar. Had fire sticker on his white-n-black Gibson RD. Skilled motherfucker. Taller than Papas, looked bigger in first 2 eras. Was a bit reserved in era 1, but became quite active and naughty in era 2. Has blue eyes, started to wear a ring in era 2 and got tattoos in era 3. If you see a ghoul who often shows a "peace" sign - that's Alpha :) Hangs out with Omega, River, Delta, Pebble and Mist on stage. Enjoys attention, quite popular among fans. Can speak Italian, has strong accent. Joined in october 2010, left in november 2016.

Omega aka Ether/Quintessence Ghoul #1

Rhythm guitar, black Gibson RD with Omega sticker. Tall, stompy, was quite confident from the very beginning, graceful hand movements (trust me, you won't confuse him with any other ghoul). Has cutest laugh. The Perfect Ghoul™. Has beautiful eyes, chunky silver rings (he wore them in every era), is the reason the Ghouls got their alchemic symbols. Papa III's favorite Ghoul, that's why he was always praised and his butt was always touched/smacked during Year Zero solo by Terzo :) Did interviews in era 2 (sometimes together with Alpha or Special Ghoul) and 3. Joined in october 2010, left in july 2016 :(

Chain aka Water Ghoul#1

Bass. Mysterious and metal AF, wore a chain as a belt and painted black bones on his hands, had Grucifix on metal necklace (which was later worn by Omega after Chain left). Was quite active and actually the shortest ghoul of era 1. Joined in october 2010, left in early 2011.

Earth Ghoul #1

Drums. Had no other specific name. Tall (same height as Omega), slim, has blue eyes. Despite being in Ghost for like 4 years, is soooo underrated. There's not much we know about him. The only earth ghoul of Ghost who did an interview (together with Alpha). Was simply amazing! Joined in october 2010, left in 2014.

Air Ghoul #1

Also had no specific name, though some fans prefer to call him Aero. Synthesizer, keyboard and keytar. The tallest ghoul (a bit taller than Omega), dark eyes. Modest, very calm, didn't move much. Loved showing horns and stared at fans sometimes. Had badass Mummy Dust solo . Joined in 2011, left in november 2016 Lake aka Water Ghoul #2

Bass. Joined in 2011 after Chain left. Middle height, dark eyes. Quite calm. Played two different guitars in era 1. Had cool black lenses in era 2, wore a ring sometimes. Also quite underrated. Fun fact: Remember Year Zero mv when Secondo flashes us? Well, it was this Water in Papa's chasuble, not Tobias :) Joined in 2011, left in 2014.

Infestissumam era (december 15th 2012 - June 3, 2015)

(from left to right: Earth #1, Omega, River, Air #1, Alpha) How are Ghouls placed on stage? Same way as in Opus era. Same Ghouls, different outfits and masks. Their alchemic symbols became more visible and ghouls opened up more on stage. There was only one change of the lineup: Lake left in 2014 and was replaced by River. River aka Water #3

Bass. Middle height, dark blue eyes. Was quite chaotic and weird on stage. Held his bass in a suggestive way, humped it sometimes. Interacted with Alpha a lot, was a bad influence. Definitely had fun on stage, enjoyed attention. See a ghoul with wide-legs-stance? Yeah, that's him! The tallest of the Water Ghouls. Joined in 2014, left in 2015 (before Meliora era began).

Meliora era (june 3, 2015 - september 30, 2017)

(from left to right: Omega, Pebble/Earth #2 behind him, Delta/Water #4, Air #1, Alpha) Placed on stage? Same way as in previous two eras. This is when a lot of changes happened. In 2015, Fire, Quintessence and Air Ghouls were the same, but Earth#1 and River left and Delta and Pebble were introduced.

Delta aka Water#4

Bass. A bit shorter than Papa III, cute, has blue eyes. No visible tattoos or rings. Skilled, filled in for Apha and Omega (and also played his guitar!) couple times for a few rituals and acoustic shows. Loved interacting with Alpha and Pebble on stage. Became Quintessence Ghoul in july 2016 when Omega left, played rhythm guitar. Joined in June 2015, left in november 2016.

Pebble aka Earth#2

Drums. Despite being the shortest and smolest in the band, played the shit out of drums. Was the most active Earth ghoul of Ghost. A show off. Loved interacting with fans. Played a brief solo before Stand by Him. Had a ring, his mask looked a little bit too big for him. Slim, light green eyes. Loved interacting with Alpha and Water. Joined in June 2015, left in november 2016.

In july 2016 Omega left Ghost, Delta took his place and Mist, the first Ghoulette of Ghost, played bass. Mist aka Water #5

Bass. Tiny, has blue eyes, a tattoo and ring on her finger. Cute as hell. Was quite calm and modest. Loved by fans. Her mask looked too big for her. Same could be said about the bass. Joined in september 2016, left a the end of Popestar tour in november 2016.

In 2017 all of the former ghouls and Mist left and the new pack of Ghouls was introduced. All of them (except for Mountain) were +- same heigh as Terzo, so identifying them isn't hard.

Ifrit aka Fire Ghoul #2

Lead guitar. Hyperactive, full of energy, jumps, spins and moves a lot on stage. Papa III's hype man. Loved interacting with fans, gestures a lot. The ghoul that can't stand still. Has blue eyes, no visible tattoos or rings. Ray of sunshine (no really, he's very sweet). Quite popular among fans. Loved interacting with Zephyr, Aether and Dewdrop.

He and Sodo had pre Cirice guitar battles. Did backing vocals in Prequelle and Impera (in 2022) era. Joined in march 2017, left in may 2023.

Dewdrop aka Sodo aka Water #6 aka Fire #3

Bass and lead guitar. Present in Papa III, Cardinal and Papa VI eras. A bit shorter than Papas and the rest of the ghouls. Slim. Very popular among fans. Stompy, was naughty in era 3, but became muuuuuuch worse later. Horny i would say and even more aggressive. Ghoul equivalent of chihuahua. Shows middle finger, throws picks when he's angry or annoyed by Aether. Was a Water ghoul in 2017, became a Fire Ghoul #3 in 2018 after Ifrit left. This is also a year when his fire Ghoul nature started to come out: Licked his guitar, picks, tried to lick Rain, Aether and bullied Cardinal. HORNY during Mummy Dust. Vapes on stage, interacts with fans, loves choking Rain. Once hurt his finger, didn't give a damn and continued playing guitar smearing blood all over it. Can also be a gentleman.

[Heads up! Killer Sans skeleton is visible!]

I love these cutie patooties so much. I used so many scraps of paper and any other things I found for this! I added black lines on the ticket number and stuff because I didn’t like how it looked even tho it’s a fake ticket (╥﹏╥) this took me two whole days! I used a picture from a book about a statue artist to make for the picture covering Killer’s body!!

killer sans belongs to Rahafwabas, Color Sans belongs to superyoumna, Cross Sans belongs to Jakei, Epic Sans belongs to Yugogeer012, Delta belongs to AnimatedZorox, dividers by sister-lucifer

[bogos-bint3d]

This feels like a parallel of some kind but I don't know what it means

[howlsofbloodhounds]

How do you think color(and potentially the rest of the friendgroup) feels about killer age/pet regressing

Do you think killer would try to hide it? Does killer even have a single clue of what is happening to him or why he sometimes feels like that? Would color know what it is?

I think he has a tendency to age regress most frequently when in Stage 1. It’s extremely hard to spot any signs of age regression when he’s in higher Stages, especially Stages 2 and 3, one who’d suppress and resist against vulnerability and ignore any ‘childlike’ urges or wants until his body breaks down from the stress and the other that’s basically pure survival instincts and aggression.

I think pet regression would be a lot more common in Stages 2-3. In Stage 3, Killer doesn’t really think, he just is.

He’ll curl up like a cat wherever he wants, and he’ll hiss and bite, and if he wants affection, then he’ll basically just do the skeleton equivalent of a cat walking up, jumping on you, stepping all over your stomach, plopping down wherever he wants, and if you think about moving or touching him wrong, he’ll bite you. Hard.

Given Killer is probably chronically online and uses his phone to further dissociate while working with Nightmare, I’m sure he’s considered trying to look it up—but he also doesn’t know if he wants to know.

Or perhaps because these are involuntary and triggered by reaching a breaking point, he often doesn’t even fully remember or comprehend what happened—and once back in Stage 2, it’s easy to dismiss it as not real.

Surprisingly, or unsurprisingly, Killer finds himself in good hands.

I’m sure Color is the first who witnessed something like it, back when Killer was still with Nightmare. I doubt he knew the word “age regression,” at the time, but he understood what was happening. Could empathize with it.

Not because he himself only experiences age regression the way Killer was at the moment though, but because he also shares a mind, body, and soul with six children. He is passively influenced by them, and when is a soul is “closer” to Color, he often feels younger than he is.

His thoughts become more simplified and straightforward, his speech does as well—sometimes stuttering with uncertainty. Black and white thinking becomes more extreme, and emotions are heightened more than they already are for him— just this time without a layer of adult rationalization and sometimes without the presence of Patience to temper them.

For example, when Kindness is around and influencing him, he’s so focused on being Kind he goes about it the way a child would and not the way an adult would such as;

1. being *filled with Kindness and handing away things important to him without thinking because someone else looked like they needed or wanted it more,

2. being *filled with Kindness and hugging/having the urge to hug strangers without consent or warning because they seem angry or upset (which can result in strangers getting scared or angry and yelling at or hitting Color),

3. seeing an injured bird, being *filled with Kindness, and wanting to help but being unable to comprehend how to do that so he clumsily picks up the bird and ends up hurting it more which could also upset Ness into bursting into tears. (Which could potentially lead to Ness’ influence wavering enough for Color to think as himself and actually help the bird properly and hopefully cheer and calm down the child.)

And because they're six souls of various ages, their influence over Color can put him in various different mindsets of different ages. So he can be 4-5 thanks to Kindness, 12-13 thanks to Bravery, 17 thanks to Perseverance, maybe even any ageless sort of feeling thanks to Patience.

And thanks to his own experience with this, his experience with taking care of the kids when they’re nearby but aren’t taking him over so much, his old memories of taking care of Papyrus (so old they feel like decades ago), and his vague, blurry memories of Delta and Epic taking care of him when he’s like that, he’s equipped to help his friend.

Sans and Beta don’t exactly experience what Color and the souls do, as they are more often than not either completely separate or they’re Delta, and Delta tends to take Sans’ age and Beta’s bravery—but Delta also knows what it’s like to have a kid in your head.

I highly doubt he knows what’s going on with Killer, but he’d approach it through the lens of his experiences with Color—who he didn’t know was influenced by the souls for a very long time, because Color wasn’t even sure the souls’ voices and influence were real, not just figments of his lonely and guilt ridden imagination not wanting to be alone anymore, and was worried about being called “crazy” (not helped by the fact that Color very likely has experienced psychosis in the Void).

Epic most definitely took it in a stride, I feel. Making jokes and puns and quips. From what little I’ve seen of Epic, he seems to be an Uncle like figure to kiddos.

[ambiguousfan]

I love the ship. Well one of them >///< i have more!!!!!

Better Place AU or What If....(I havent come up with a name, if you have any idea commend down below)

Warning

Mention of Grief, Ruins, Recklessness, Family, John Dory centric, Loss

Au Idea (Warning Messy)

Yodeler went to Lonesome Flat for a Better Life.

Hickory move with his brother who become the sherif of the town, taking care of few things and there

Dickory usually do more work than what needed like checklisting merchant traders; Bounty Hunter Like issue; Missing Pets; so one and so forth.

He then met a particular Jazz newbie Bounty Hunter (he failes his first hunt) save him, all in the days work. Eventually they warm up with one another.

Hickory on the other hand become the town bartender and hat maker.

Delta Dawn known Delta as long as he move to Lonesome Flat.

John went off after went to the mountain only to return months to the troll tree. Seeing it condition and no sight of his family. He wanted to take his mind off by coping finding more adventure elsewhere.

He take a reckless route venture of somewhere unknown when he found Delta and Hickory; more like they found him

wanting to explore more found tribe of troll hut stumble upon them

They did everyday life shenanigan; kind of slice of life adventure. John more than the rest, Having Hickory and Delta getting him out of a sticky situation. He try not to be too reckless of his wellbeing

I imagine chapter of Delta slowly become a mayor-to-be of the country troll town; Hickory continues his business; John taking job here and there around the small town. Eventuallly at break they would go on tour outside, 'way to make out brain exploded for how huge he world it' John like to say.

They go to every tribe learning exchanging culture and making few trade when John heard about the possible rumors of his brother being alive.

I wanted them fall in love with one another, their dynamic be intersting. Hickory more calm and collect, Delta more bossy and confident (way of leadership), John Dory more resourceful and bit emotionally unstable.

He went off better, less reckless after processing his grief of the loss of his family.

Movie 2

(I have not thought of it yet)

Maybe somehow John start to hear about pop troll saving the world and find branch

he wanted to find him but got kidnapped

or they met, branch angry while John just relieve of his safety eventually they grow on mending ties as Delta and Hickory there to support him .

Take place in movie 3

I wanted to imagine that John was one diamond instead of Floyd after singing in Mount Rageous resturant. Or maybe other way around

If Floyd kidnapped, the change event would be having Hickory and Delta onboard. More emotional support and trying become mediator. Delta more blunt and defensive on John behalf. Hickory try to stop any argument become it become too far.

Depend on the role Hickory and Branch got along more for survivalist tips

If John was kidnapped, also Hickory and Delta come, more determine and a bit tense and more defensive. Hickory would leave few snark here and there but trying understand situation. Delta a bit more hurry more.

I wanted to think Delta and Brandy would get along, talk about being in a family. And consideration of kids (i can think of an OC on this hehe, thy be so cute!!!).

Anyway I can't think any more idea that all i have.

people who think clem surviving makes no sense are so funny. "they were literally foreshadowing her death the entire season" let me introduce you to the concept of a red herring. she tells lilly she isnt lee and shes right. the narrative was forcing her down that path, a path she saw as an inevitable fate waiting to take her too, but its a narrative broken by aj, who is also his own person and not S1 clem

"it happened to lee, and itll happen to you" lilly tells clem she'll die protecting aj from some mistake he makes, when in reality his defiance of her will is what saves her life after she had already accepted her fate. he breaks clem free from the lee cycle and they get their relatively happy ending. good for them
