HOPE THIS LOOKS ALRIGHT! Papyrus Knight for @itsmebeff! Genuinely thought it'd take me a millennia to get around to drawing him, but the design was just too cool and gave me sm motivation that I HAD to give it a go! >:3!

This may be a hot take but I REALLY do not care for the Papyrus is The Knight theory. Sure, all the fan designs for it are badass as hell and it's a cool concept, but from what we've seen of the game at this point (which mind you, isn't much, so my opinion could change later on), it'd be super unsatisfying from a narrative standpoint for the roaring knight to just be Some Guy that despite being a returning character, has no looming presence in the game, none of the main cast met him, and literally nobody from hometown except for sans has mentioned once.

It fascinates me that King appears to know about the Roaring, but is unaware of the true nature of it. Did the Knight outright lie to him about it? Or was this just him misinterpreting the Knight's words/actions?

Got an anon in my inbox asking me to rank several popular Knight candidates so I decided to just make a template for all the currently popular(?) Knight theories. Blank version also provided under the cut

All Knight forms for my Deltarune take!

Eventually in my deltarune take, the soul merges with the vessel becoming your character!

You'd be able choose to play with the helmet on or off (most people would probably pick helmet on if we're being honest)

Their skin also becomes a darker shade of grey in the dark worlds

And their helmet is based on the eyes at the start of chapter 1 and the save points, this is more obvious in their "knightmare" form

The Roaring Papyrus

[patchwork-crow-writes]

It's worth considering that if the Roaring Knight is, y'know, trying to bring about the Roaring, then they're not likely to accomplish that goal by making fountains on their own, one at a time. It'd be a simple matter to seal them almost as soon as they appeared, resulting in a stalemate.

Chapter 2's Cyber World is interesting for a number of reasons, but one of the most interesting things about it is the fact that Queen effectively gives a tutorial on how lightners can create dark fountains, complete with images. And aside from Kris, who puts this knowledge to use almost immediately, we have three other lightners who seem to prefer their existence in the dark worlds over the light, for various reasons.

You have to wonder if the Knight somehow put her up to that, because once you think about it, it makes sense; why strive to bring about the apocalypse yourself when you can teach/condition others into doing it for you? Let them create their own dark worlds, and continue to disseminate that knowledge of how to make them, until you have the entire town doing it - to the point where it becomes impossible to seal fountains faster than they can be made.

The Roaring may have a champion, but it is the dissatisfaction and determination of the people of Hometown that will ultimately bring it about.
