 ===== Personality =====
-The Narrator comes off as a rather wise, reserved, but quick-tempered individual. They often speak poetically, specifically when going over the start and endings of the Downrider's episodic events. When dealing with the Downrider Crew directly, their demeanor changes and can range from openly friendly to easily annoyed, with a variable tolerance of their antics. Juryrig in particular seems to draw a bulk of their snarky comments. Their repeated observation of the crew and their many, //many// mishaps have given them a great wealth of information to work with.

-While the Narrator comes off as a benevolent aid, acting as a guiding hand and "guardian" for the Downrider expedition, they are clearly not concerned about the moral implications of their actions, nor how it affects anyone else. It does not take long for their just and holy facade to crack, revealing a touch of megalomania and malice beneath their word. Still, the Narrator believes what they are doing is just and for the right cause, no matter the suffering inflicted upon those beneath their influence.
+When first properly met in-person, the Narrator comes off as a benevolent aid, acting as a guiding hand and "guardian" for the Downrider expedition. It becomes quickly apparent after addressing the crew that they are not concerned about the moral implications of their actions, nor how it affects anyone else. It does not take long for their just and holy facade to crack, revealing a touch of megalomania and malice beneath their word. Still, the Narrator believes what they are doing is just and for the right cause, no matter the suffering inflicted upon those beneath their influence. It is quite possible they take some kind of sadistic enjoyment out of their deals with the Downriders, however.

 === Command ===
-The Narrator seems to hold some slight control and heightened communication over[[ayenee:character:osc-01|OSC-01]]. While the Overseer seems mostly unaware of this connection or incapable of thinking about it, they have previously been shown to try and fight it in the past. The Narrator acts fondly of them however, infrequently interfering and ensuring they shall not remember any of their directed actions when they do. Due to their strong similarities, it may be possible this same connection is present in OSC-02 or BTC-03 is yet unknown.

 When spirits are invited to the domain of the Narrator, they seem to also be subconsciously subjected to their command.

 ==== Reincarnation ====
 The Narrator seems to be capable of withdrawing the very essence of those they observe post-death, inviting them to their realm. From this, they are capable of making //adjustments// where necessary before recycling that essence. Because of this, the Narrator is responsible for the multiversal nature of the Downrider Expedition, where every critical failure brings forth a new crew to carry the torch of the last.
+It is evidenced on a meta scale that whenever this occurs, the entirety of the plot and Downrider Expedition repeats from the very beginning until it catches up to the point where the old crew left off. This is seen at the ending of [[https://ayenee.org/index.php?threads/post-episode-three-renewal.2954/|Renewal.]]
 ==== Echyllis Manipulation ====
-The Narrator is unfathomably strong in Echyllis Manipulation, believed to be the source of their aforementioned reincarnate abilities. Their abode seems to be crafted entirely of the material, able to survive in an environment that would otherwise destroy it instantly. Despite this, the Narrator is nearly incapable of leaving this domain, though he is able to bring and send others from it postmortem.

-Their ability of Echyllis Manipulation as an offensive strategy is yet unknown, though they are most certainly stronger than the lingering spirits they invite into their domain.

 ===== Trivia =====
   * The Narrator has long been hinted as being an actual character due to their occasional sarcasm and even rebutting of player dialogue, but their existence was not confirmed until the ending of [[https://ayenee.org/index.php?threads/episode-three-defile.2458/|Episode 3: Defile]].
   * Not all meta text for the plot is the work of the Narrator, their comments are usually attributed to italicized narration.
+  * The Narrator seems to have an annoyance or grudge against Juryrig and Alioth. The former may be explained from Juryrig's often meta or fourth-wall leaning jokes, but may have deeper significance, referring to them as a wretched 'thing' and constantly spiting them. As for the latter, it may be due to Alioth's strong clairvoyance and possible detection and resistance to the Narrator's interfering.
   * The Narrator's sarcastic and often patronizing commentary is heavily inspired by Archjustice Androbeles IX (The Voice) from Supergiant Games' [[https://store.steampowered.com/app/462770/Pyre/|Pyre]].
 ===== OOC Notes =====
 This page was originally created by [[ayenee:player:pancakei|Pancakei]] on Sun 01-08-21.
+Since the plot of [[ayenee:plot:arcadia|Arcadia Complex]] is relatively linear and Episodes are sequentially linked, the existence and interference of the Narrator is used as an explanation for any new or changed characters that would not logically have been able to appear.
