Hey, guys I just wanted to ramble about one my Deltarune “theories” before the next two chapters come out tomorrow.
So we know that there is some sort of “knight” that’s creating the fountains, and we know that Kris very clearly resembles a knight. So, I don’t know how much of this rambling is well-accepted or already theorized but I’m just spilling my thoughts haha.
But I feel like it’s a well accepted concept that Kris is the “white knight” and the roaring knight is the “black knight.” In story though it would probably be refered to as the “lighter knight” and the “darkener knight.” We also have a darkener King and Queen. And we even have a lighter king and queen (if Toriel and Asgore hypothetically take those roles). This suggests Deltarune is some sort of big ‘ol chess game. I would assume between the player and Gaster. Though, the level of “importance” to the pieces seem to be different then in a IRL chess game.
Additionally, I feel like this concept could even be seen in Noelle, Ralsei, Susie, and Berdly.
I feel like Ralsei and Noelle could easily symbolize “rooks.” As Ralsei is quite literally a prince, and design speaking, Noelle’s antlers kind of look like a crown? Also, they both share the same role in the party.
And Susie and Berdly both have an axe as their main weapon, so I wonder if that symbolizes them being the same piece, which with process of elimination would make them both bishops.
Obviously Susie, Berdly, and Noelle would be automatically labeled as “lighter pieces” and hypothetically Ralsei would be a “darkener rook” but that doesn’t make the most sense considering he is directly working with the player (hypothetically)? So he might just be defined as a lightner rook even if he’s not actually a lightner (I think this could apply to darkner pieces as well)?
Here’s the thing, if Susie and Berdly are both characterized as “lightner bishops” that sets cards on the table that there’s two lightner knights, two darkner knights, two darkner bishops and so on.
I feel like some more darkner pieces could be the characters like Spamton and Jevil, I don’t necessarily know what the frick they could be but they clearly have something to do with Gaster.
Basically what I’m saying is… if Deltarune is one giant chess game then there should be two other knights that we don’t know about. And the two main theories I’ve seen about who the roaring knight is Dess and Papyrus, and just thinking about this whole thingy, what if it could be them both? And it would be funny if they both thought they were the only darker knight haha. I don’t really know who could possibly be the other lightner knight. My first thought would be Undyne, but I only say that cause she’s quite literally a knight in Undertale. Otherwise, I don’t think that makes much sense. I don’t think it would be anyone from the classroom. I mean, I guess there’s also the fact that we created a vessel at the beginning of the game, so it could have something to do with that? Or maybe the Angel? Or maybe this is a dead end haha. It could just be very slightly based off chess and I’m slamming myself into a wall.
I don’t know if I’ll do anything with these ideas on this blog, but we will see! This story concept right now is really just a concept haha. I like to prioritize my personal stuff, but I’m in a bit of a UTDR mood rn cause of Deltarune hype!
But yeah, that’s it! Just a bunch of rambling!
