Zane & Luci thoughts:

Spoilers for HeyHay’s first Codebreak episode.

So, Zane is going stealth and not revealing to anyone (on purpose) that he was Luci in the real world. That’s a perfectly acceptable thing for him to do.

But I have thoughts of what that might mean going forward.

Are any of these going to be correct - probably not I’m basing these off of 1 episode.

1) Douchebag Zane: /lh

I think Zane (a bit like Theo from Mer) is gonna have figure out what it means to be a guy. I can really see Zane getting “Drunk off of the Euphoria” and falling into some Toxic masculine traits or acting negatively because of it. The ‘I can be all the things I never was’ slippery slope.

I can also see Zane becoming something of an antagonist (depending on how other people react to the game going forward). I can see Zane not really wanting to leave the game as they’ve gotten to be the person they always dreamed of being - Zane is literally the name they always wanted to use - it would be hard to give that up. Would he go as far as stopping people from figuring out how to leave in case he’s forced to go too.

2) Zane and Myth:

I have two different alternatives for this thought but I think Zane is either going to accidentally or chose/be forced to out himself to Myth.

a. In the less positive version. I think he might be forced to explain his situation because he does something that can’t be explained, use knowledge of Myth that he shouldn’t have. Maybe Myth even starts to question if Zane was a stalker in the real world and Zane has to go ‘no, I know X because you told me because I was Luci’.

b. In the more positive version. Myth was going to meet Luci. What if Myth is really worried about ‘her’? What if he really cares about ‘her’ and is worried that it’ll look like he just no-showed and doesn’t want that. Zane tells him about being Luci to help him with those worries.

Some angst for this version: Zane seems to have a crush on Myth, what if Myth had feelings for Luci, would he still have them for Zane?

From what I can tell Zane is, even just personality wise, quite different from Luci and, even if that’s a positive for Zane, it might not make him compatible with Myth. There’s always the chance that Myth isn’t gay.

Final little thought: I am so interested in the former roommates dynamic. Strix and Zane I hold you in my little hands.

Codebreak NPCs:

Spoilers for possiblyawesome’s first episode.

In possiblyawesome’s first episode they find an enlightened eye which says things to the person holding it.

Specifically Sadie hears that it is difficult to make Ai for humans.

So… some of the disappearances are the NPCs we’ve met, right? Those that happened before the characters we’ve met.

Is Sadie’s missing sibling 3z-r4/Ezra? It brought up a big error when asked for information about them.

But the real theory I have here is - are the players going to become NPCs?

Not all of them are robotic like Ezra?

Is whatever that set up the game, stealing people to populate the NPCs of their game world?

Do we have to worry about the players being NPCed and forgetting who they were?

So... next stop in practicing my art is... more nsfw type content. So I present the character that is rotating in my brain right now.
