Are you still rambling about dynamics between characters? If so I kinda got an obscure pair and idk if you have thought about it. The snail shaman you find in the Soul Sanctum and Soul Tyrant.

Ooooh!! Yeah

I don't know if I've ever rambled about the soul sanctum or snail shaman characters/lore on here yet, but tbh just assume I have thought about every aspect of this game before XD

So yeah! I'll gladly share my thoughts on these two and what I hc their relationship was like.

To start, I'm on board with the theory that the shamans are void beings. I've read quite a few theories on this.

This one in particular I really like.

From the little we know about the shamans it seems that they have been around since the days of the void civilization, and after the Pale kings reign were shunned and potentially forced out of society.

At the very least their power was shunned.(Which you learn by dreamnailing the shaman mound's whispering root)

While the other shamans are located within mounds, which seem to be sacred locations, the sanctum shaman has no mound that we know of.

What we know about him from the crossroad shaman's dialouge is that he possessed the desolate dive ability, and possessed a "ferocious temper"

I hc that this shaman was upset with the way he and his people had been shunned by Hallownest society and wished to prove that their power could be used for the benefit of the kingdom.

Now about the Soul master, I hc that before the infection, he was trusted by the king and the sanctum was a place dedicated to research in regards to soul and how to best utilize it for growth and healing purposes.

After the infection began to spread, the Soul master was desperate to help in creating a cure utilizing soul, but was unsuccessful.

I also hc that the soul master was once one of the king's advisors, until he began to propose dangerous ideas.

The king forbid him from practicing any of his ideas and took away his title of royal advisor. (This is all inspired by the soul tyrant's dreamnail dialouge where we learn he used to speak directly with the king, who shut down all his plans)

After all of this transpired the soul master began going about his goals in secret, and without aid from the king himself, he quietly sought out the aid of a snail shaman.

The shaman, desiring to be accepted into hallownest society, agreed to be a partner of sorts with the master of the sanctum.

Help him and, in turn, prove his people's power could still be of use.

So yes, the master and shaman of the sanctum started out as partners and allies, granting eachother respect and working together under a unified cause.

The soul master's plan was evidently, to "attain pure focus" that is i believe, to be constantly harvesting soul from the world around you. (The same power the king's soul charm grants you.)

It seems that he and his scholars believed that power would grant them immortality and protect them from the infection, but they were never able to actually attain it.

Their experimenting with/sacrificing others in attempt to gain more soul (and eventually their desired immortality) were practices the soul master had learned from the shaman (or were at least inspired by him.)

The shamans, being born of void, were able to harvest soul from other living beings without side affects.

This doesn't apply to the average bug, as we see from the sanctum warriors, whose dreamnail dialouge suggests that taking another beings' soul into themselves can mess with their minds and memories.

The soul master himself was eventually driven to complete madness, and I believe every soul he consumed from the bugs he had captured contributed to that. (Though obviously he had become insanely desperate even before this)

I believe that most of the victims had been killed and sacrificed after the return of the infection, and after the king's disappearance. But that they had been experimenting in secret before then.

I also don't believe it was the shaman's intention for so many to be killed, he might not have intended for anyone to die at all, just have portions of their soul harvested to be used (for what he believed was the greater good.)

But after the soul master was driven to madness and had become obsessed with immortality he forced the shaman to stay and serve him until eventually turning on him too.

I like the idea that they were once allies, which makes the shamans fate a betrayal. To me that's more interesting than the soul master just capturing a random shaman and experimenting on him.

I imagine before the soul tyrant became mad with power, he and the shaman connected over their desire to prove themselves and their abilities useful to the kingdom, and genuinely wanted to help the kingdom to progress.

They connected over their frustrations, over their power and plans being shunned and denied.

The shaman found the acceptance he had desired a long time in the soul master, only to watch his partner dive deeper and deeper into insanity before at last betraying him. (Though, while the master did grant the shaman respect in the beginning of their relationship, and was certaintly fascinated with him and his abilities, he never saw the shaman as his equal.)

Tbh I haven't gone over their relationship very thoroughly before. But my sisters and I have discussed it.

If we come up with more hcs concerning this I'll make sure to add them!

They are interesting to think about.

uuuuuhhh no reason just wanna see the robot get preggers because nobody is really taking advantage of the narrative consequences of the robots of ULTRAKILL having fleshy bits inside them (in my humble opinion hahahaha...hahaha....hah....). Anywhosen also a sucker for general Bad End especially when it involves a psycho-sexual (breeding) binding to a greater entity but also I wanna see the murder-robot get knocked up. And the galaxy brain bit of this is instead of calming down they just get Worse.

YEAH NO ONE REALLY TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THAT. and well i mostly assumed a very small percentage of people actually want to breed the robots like that which is why.

also i don't think this as a bad end, but a bad path that can lead to some other.. inch resting things (my stupid ass is trying to craft a plot with horror and drama from this path and how it'd change the story slightly despite knowing I will never get around to writing it in fic form except tiny excerpt ideas and art)

also i have so much to say abt the 'it doesn't calm down it just gets worse' bc its So true

Greetings, Nori Phoris! This is Curator Tero of the Ultra Recon Squad and the @anomaly-sanctum! Might I ask that you tell your partner, Ulva Cassius, contact me in private at her earliest convenience?

It has come to my attention that she may be doing research in regards to something that I have also been researching, and would very much like to discuss the matter with her.

Apologies for having to contact you in this manner, I was unsure what the best way to get ahold of her was.

//Translation: I know she's poking her nose in someone else's business but unfortunately for her that's also MY business (this is related to that @/profchamomile ask lmao)

Tero, it is a pleasure to hear from you! I will be certain to relay your message, although I am not sure how much it will help you. My partner’s research is strictly confidential, given how active and dangerous it is. Really, she shou-

Don’t worry too much about it Nori. I will make sure to keep to protocol as much as I can. Besides, I don’t even know if I’m still on that mission. I’ve got it covered. …He’s disappointedly shaking his head at me now. Why don’t we talk properly in URS private correspondence? (//just use discord) Conversing on a secure channel would certainly be better than rotomblr.

pst, hey sea *the anon holds one of the many library books over a lit lighter, slowly inching it down toward the flame*

*Sea quickly moves into action, holding his arm out Infront of him. He pulls his arm back with a bent elbow.

Water starts forming around the Anon's feet, and before long, the Anon is sucked into a current, leading right to Sea! The force of the pull is so that the book falls from the hand of the other, caught in the current.

As soon as the Anon is close enough, the water dissipates and Sea stands right over them, shaking his head. He doesn't look pleased.*

💧I will have to remind you that any efforts to destroy, alter, or otherwise damage the books within my sanctum will not be tolerated.

I tend to think myself merciful; a second chance is always warranted, but such a braizen attempt to draw a reaction from myself would typically be met with much more... Severe consequence. However, I will pretend that you only meant it as a... Slight jest.

I will assume you truly meant no harm, but should you try this again, you will be banished from my Sanctum. This will be your first and last warning, Anon.

My patience is as boundless as the sea, but in such matters, I am not to be tested.

Tread. Carefully.💧

*He awaits the response of the Anon.

Above, on the surface, dark clouds begin to germinate above the ocean. The sea begins to churn with slightly higher activity.*

If there's one design thing that games should take away from FromSoft, it's that you should have a Big Hole.

Yeah. You heard me.

You discover some hole in the ground, and after a while you realize it just keeps going. And going. Oh, it's still going.

And then it opens up into a whole new level.

And still, it keeps going down. Down, down, down we go. How far down?

yeah.
