Theories For String Theory MUX
Fanworks » Theories For String Theory MUX
Hello, Theorists! Huddy here. The Doc was becoming a bit massive and difficult to carry on a thread with, so Ellis brainstormed the idea of putting something on the wiki that we all can access a bit easier. New notes to this box will be in bold.
Latest major update on April 16, 2011:
Page overhaul begun. See bolded text beneath the cut for details on the new edit format.Here's how this is gonna work. We have three categories: People, Organisations, and All and Sundry. I've separated them up all nice and neat and am currently adding the people portion from the Google Document. You click on the collapsible for the character you want to check the theory of, and BAM! Theories. How cool is that, huh?
But wait, there's more.
We can still colour code shit.
I know, right? Pretty awesome. There is a collapsible below that will open the box to show you who's picked what colours to code their theories. As of now, I'm not coding the theories that are already on the Doc (unless they were my own) until the player who suggested the theory picks their colour here on the wiki. Since background colours kind of aren't going to work and I don't want to be presumptuous and pick for anybody. That would just be super lame.
Next up is a fun thing called Citation. You may have seen it on Wikipedia, or had some dumbass professor tell you that your paper needed it - like they can't use Google and figure it out themselves. Pssh. How it's going to work is like this:
Huddy
- Hudson is Awesome and Cool (Theories For String Theory MUX)
You see what I did there? Beneath the header with my name on it, is the theory that I am both Awesome and Cool, with the citation of this page. Now, I haven't read every single log out there (sadly), so for the logs/references I don't know off the top of my head, I'm going to mark the theory (Citation Needed) until I (or someone generous) find the title of the log and fill it in.
Alternatively, if a theory is based on a hunch, feel free to state as much as your citation. This works especially well in the case of parentage where some theories are based on looks alone until such a time as data to confirm or deny the hunch is discovered. There is an example of how this should be presented if you take a peek at theories relating to Adel. I will not mark other player's present hunches, because if I'm wrong and just missed a key clue in a log somewhere, I will feel very silly. So if you presented a theory on an NPC's parentage, feel free to mark it as a hunch, otherwise add your citation.
If a theory is disproved, put a strikeout through it with the double dash code like so: --There will never be a theories page on the wiki.-- There will never be a theories page on the wiki. You never know when we've been tossed a red herring and a theory may come back into play!
I've begun an overhaul of the format of this page to make it less of a bitch to edit. If you're looking to add a theory to a specific character, you'll want to navigate to their page.
Example: If you want to edit theories for Benji Foster, you would go to the theory:benji page.
So far only the Identified NPCs have their own dedicated theory pages, as they're easily titled. Those we don't have names for are still edited via this page. This may change if I find some ambition.
April 14: "Dialogue" (Drabble) Theories have their own pages now as well. <3
One more thing! This page has gotten kind of huge already. If when you make an edit, add a theory, whatever, you could make a note of what you did in the little box below the editing box that says "Short description of changes:" so that we know where to look for your fabulous new addition, that would be so excellent.
Examples: Formatting. Added Theory to Soandso. Added Citation to Suchandsuch.
Cool so far? Cool. Hopefully if you have any questions, you'll be able to follow my examples. Otherwise, feel free to page or @mail me on the MUX on any of my bits (Odessa, Nicole, Niki, Rue or Lounge!alt Pandora) to ask questions and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
Happy Theorising, Theorists!

Theories About People
Identified NPCs:
!Cardinal / Cardinalternate / Richard Cardinal / Ezekiel
- !Cardinal is from the future, where he travelled back in time, founded the Institute, and got killed in the 70s (A Shadow Out of Time)
- !Cardinal was revived by Darren Stevens' ability and accidentally transferred into the body of Tyler Case (Citation Needed)
- !Cardinal's motivation appears to be maintaining his own status quo, and preserving his timeline (Citation Needed)
- !Cardinal wants to ensure Walter Trafford and Matthew Parkman, Junior (and their abilities) do not fall into the "wrong hands" (Casting Shadows)
- Though who !Cardinal considers to be the wrong hands is uncertain
- !Cardinal is the ward of Edward Ray (The Message and the Bottle)
- Edward Ray says that this fraternity comes not of blood but of a promise to Cardinal's parents, who were supposedly friends (The Ends Justify The Means)
- !Cardinal is the father of Joshua "Cameron" Harrison (A Shadow Out of Time)
- Elisabeth Harrison is the boy's mother
- The fact that he used her birthdate as the password to his machine in the future when he escaped seems to indicate that at least that much of his story is true (The 23rd Psalm)
- Elisabeth Harrison is the boy's mother
- !Cardinal is currently in possession of Tyler Case's Ability Manipulation (Citation Needed)
Adel Raven Darrow-Diego
- Adel may be "targeting" The Band (AKA Mad Muse) (Citation Needed)
- If not the band as a whole, possibly someone in the band or close to the band
- Adel's mothers are Elaine Darrow and Sable Diego (Special Day, In The Sky With Diamonds)
- Sable may actually Adel's "aunt" - Proust questionnaire has Adel liking "thing names… Like birds and plants", even though "one of my aunts hates them so very much" - Sable's birth name is Raven and she doesn't like it
- Proust Questionnaire also has her saying she thinks "ravens are underappreciated"
- Elaine is Mad Muse's "groupie", she is also a big fan of the Beatles (sang it to Sable in the past to try and save her), she is "into geek stuff, but not really geek", all consistent with descriptions of Adel's mother (Secret Identities, Unicorns Are People Too)
- Elaine loved Magnes, but would likely not want to have a kid with him, fitting with the mention of Adel's father being a "glorified sperm donor", and since Adel's mother was not with another man after that, it could be because Elaine dated women after Magnes
- The natural talent Adel wishes she could have according to the Proust Questionnaire is Languages, which is Elaine's Evolved ability
- Sable may actually Adel's "aunt" - Proust questionnaire has Adel liking "thing names… Like birds and plants", even though "one of my aunts hates them so very much" - Sable's birth name is Raven and she doesn't like it
- Adel's father is Magnes (In The Sky With Diamonds)
- Adel does not know her father, and Magnes meets an untimely demise in the future (The Rise of Mad Muse, Write a Song Named After Me)
- Adel's mother referred to her father as a "glorified sperm donor"
- Despite this fact, she professed to love him
- Adel's mother was not with another man after her father
- Adel's ability is reported to be Repulsion Field (Secret Identities, Adel)
- Adel's mother may be dead (Citation Needed)
- Adel speaks of her mother in the past tense
- Adel may be adopted
- Adel speaks of her mother in the past tense
- Adel grew up in a suburb of Boston (Secret Identities, Battle)
- Quinn's mother is from Boston France and lives in Boston, and she takes trips there frequently
- Adel's (assumed) surname is Starkey, the real name of Beatles drummer Ringo Starr is Richard Starkey
- Adel is a drummer, making this homage unsurprising
- Her mother is also reportedly a huge Beatles fan
- Adel is a drummer, making this homage unsurprising
- Adel is Yellow in Dialogue I (Dialogue Redux)
- Her favorite color, according to the Proust Questionnaire, is yellow
- Adel may be Ygraine's biological daughter (with Quinn) (Latecomer and points above)
- Ygraine's described as a "muse" by Quinn, has spoken of wanting to be one herself, matching the requirements for band association
- Adel describes present-time Ygraine as "like family," along with the band and Elaine
- She is also confirmed as being the one likely to bear any children - and wanting to have children
- Ygraine has further confirmed that she would want to respect and care for the father of any child she has - she's wary of anonymous donation
- Most of her romantic relationships in the past have been with men, and she's openly polyamorous, so a warm relationship with a man to sire a child would be wholly possible
- Ties to both Boston (via Quinn) and Britain (via Ygraine herself) would make full sense if the two are Adel's parents
- Ygraine's unquestionably prone to geekery - but she's also a former professional athlete, and a Ferry surveillance and combat operative
- "Geek and not really a geek" would seem to apply (Unicorns Are People Too)
- If Adel's mother is dead, then Quinn stepping in to take over raising a child of Ygraine's would make sense
- This would explain formal adoption, being raised in Boston, close ties to the band, and Adel's use of the past tense about her biological mother
- Given her roles, Ygraine is one of the more likely characters to be removed from the picture in times of trouble
- This would explain formal adoption, being raised in Boston, close ties to the band, and Adel's use of the past tense about her biological mother
- Adel wishes she had a talent with languages
- Ygraine's fully bilingual (in French)
- Quinn's mother is French… but Quinn herself speaks barely a word of it
- If Ygraine is out of the picture in future, Adel's unfulfilled desire could fit all the more
- Ygraine's described as a "muse" by Quinn, has spoken of wanting to be one herself, matching the requirements for band association
Astor Ruskin-Gray
- Astor's mother is Eileen (Everyone You Love Dies, Hemorrhaging)
- While he lay bleeding out, he insisted that Eileen hold [him] up, and leaned into her embrace
- This is explained as her being the more sympathetic between her and Gabriel, but that could be Astor's pride/covering for himself
- The knife purchased in Special Occasion and Just Because is likely the knife Eileen found waiting for her in the snow
- Confirmed by Astor himself (Matka)
- Matka is Polish for 'mother', and Chlopczyk is Polish for 'baby boy'
- While he lay bleeding out, he insisted that Eileen hold [him] up, and leaned into her embrace
- Astor's father is Gabriel (Piss-Poor, Eviction and Slaughter, Matka, Eyebrows, Shitty Rational Attitude)
- He began to say a word starting with oj - Ojciec is Polish for 'father' (Matka)
- Astor is Precognitive (Dialogue Redux, Piss-Poor, Everyone You Love Dies, Give It Back)
- Astor, the name, is derived from the southern French surname Astur, meaning 'hawk'
- He was also found in Astoria, Queens - which could mean about as much as Odessa from Odessa, Texas
- Astor is sick (Is That Your Blood?, Not a Big Miracles Kind of Guy)
- He suffers from seizures, and perhaps other maladies
- Astor had a roommate of sorts called Lin (The Places You'd Rather Be)
- His friends don't seem to know about her (Is That Your Blood?)
- Claims that Lin is someone's kid I check in on sometimes (Piss-Poor)
- Could just be a callous way of referring to Lin so he doesn't sound invested, or maybe she is the daughter of a friend of his
- Walter says he got shot (allegedly) looking after someone's mother, Astor told him not to engage in emotional compromise
- Lin (Belinda) is Harlow's daughter
- Astor is close to Benji (The Places You'd Rather Be, Piss-Poor, Benji's Obsessions Polyvore, Dialogue Redux)
- The two are cousins on the Ruskin side
- Astor was the missing party alluded to in Dialogue I (How You Doin'?, Is That Your Blood?)
- The other supposed conspirators have expressed concern for Astor's whereabouts and suggest checking in on him
- He is represented by Red-Brown in Dialogue Redux
- Astor is taking injections (Astor, The Places You'd Rather Be, Odd Ball)
- He is seen scratching at the inside of his left arm, and his wiki page claims he "collects track marks"
- This may not be indicative of a drug problem, however - if he's sick, injections may be medicinal
- Though he does appear to be sweating, despite the cold, which could be nerves or symptoms of withdrawal
- This may not be indicative of a drug problem, however - if he's sick, injections may be medicinal
- While playing pool, he thinks better of drawing his sleeve back, where injection points would likely be revealed
- Seems to have a problem with Refrain (Dialogue Redux)
- He is seen scratching at the inside of his left arm, and his wiki page claims he "collects track marks"
- Astor, when asked to describe what a girl likes when searching for a gift, says: "Clocks, birds, small knives, and the color black. Although I've never thought black is a color" (Special Occasion And Just Because)
- To me this describes Eileen to a tea
- "Just because. But I want something that'll send a strong message. Maybe that I can hide a message in?"
- Not sure this paints her as his target, but I thought it was worth noting — He may just be sending her a message - though the fact it's a knife is amusing
- Alternatively, he could be wanting to send a threatening message, given the mention of birds coupled with the nervousness some of these characters have about them
- Seems this message was received and understood when Eileen used the knife to fend off her attacker (Everyone You Love Dies)
- "Just because. But I want something that'll send a strong message. Maybe that I can hide a message in?"
- To me this describes Eileen to a tea
- Astor was brought up "essentially military" (Special Occasion and Just Because)
- This could be well describes life brought up amongst the Vanguard or their Remnant
- More than one character has been mentioned as serving in a war, or a war hero, however - this broadens possibilities
- This could be well describes life brought up amongst the Vanguard or their Remnant
- Astor as calluses on the backs of his fingers (Special Occasion and Just Because)
- Fighters often have such calluses
- This is also a sign of bulimia — I don't judge, okay
- He seemed rather concerned about the amount of carbs in Italian food
- Astor hails from Greece, or so he claims is a goddamned liar (Special Occasion and Just Because, Piss-Poor)
- He prepares his coffee "Greek style" (The Places You'd Rather Be)
- When being looked for, Kincaid checked for him at the local Greek restaurant (Odd Ball)
- Astor also seems to have a religious upbringing, describing his father as possessing a certain orthodoxy (Special Occasion and Just Because)
- WTF, Gabriel — WTF, Astor
- Okay, maybe watchmakers do possess a certain sort of… …
- WTF, Gabriel — WTF, Astor
- Astor seems to have some form of kinship with Walter Trafford (Odd Ball, Piss-Poor, Dialogue Redux)
- In meta, he's described as wearing a face that probably Walter is the only living person [to have] a decoder-ring for
- This theory is further supported in meta when it is noted that Astor, Benji, and Walter have been friends for some time
- When Astor gets really fuckin' pissed at Walter for being an idiot and letting his bullet wound get infected, Walter is ashamed
- This can account for some of the tension that seemingly exists between he and Kincaid, as Kincaid is Walter's romantic rival
- In meta, when picking five people to save at the end of the world, Walter admits he would give up his spot to Astor (Five)
- Walter and Astor sittin' in a tree (Five Kisses)
- Astor seems to have some disdain for the Ferry network, if the way he poked at Benji is any indication (The Places You'd Rather Be)
- He's more understandably not fond of Humanis First (Odd Ball)
- Given the tension between the Remnant and the Ferry, this is completely unsurprising
Benjamin Ryans, Jr.
See Also: Jasmine Ryans
- Benji has a DoEA badge (Lie of Omission)
- Astor says "They're not hiding from the likes of you. Authority doesn't mean crap if nobody knows about it," to Benji, implying affiliation

- Benji's aunt is Eileen (Boy is the Wrong Word, Sung to a Harp, Upon a Loom, Fawns)
- Physical similarities, due to her brother being his father
- Benji's actual ability is Dreamwalking, Jasmine is his avatar (Having a Choice, Pass Along the Message, Upon a Loom, Benji)
- Curiously, he communicated with the goshawk Abby brought back to Bannerman Castle (Glass)
- Negation works differently for dreamwalking, it may not stop him from acting as Jasmine, explaining comments made by himself, and Howard
- He tells Nick the injections he's being given are needless, suggesting that telepathy was not his ability at all (Pass Along the Message)
- If Delia's consciousness is with another person, negating her doesn't stop her from traversing dreams
- Howard makes a remark about Benji liking to wear skirts - Jasmine is always seen in skirts (Meals for Millions)
- He totally wore one to a Ferry meeting — I see what you did there, Benji (Exodus 21.23-24)
- Jasmine appears similar to Delia - Benji is her son, the resemblance of his avatar may be in her honour
- Sever the name Benjamin in two and it's easy to derive Benji and Jasmine
- Benji and Jasmine both wear a silver chain (Piss-Poor, Nine Ways)
- Benjasmine wears the necklace Delia gifted to Nick, complete with inscription (Sleep Well)

- Benji doesn't seem to be much of a fighter (Citation Needed)
- Possibly knows how to handle a gun, even if he can't scrap
- Benji doesn't want to be called Ben, apparently (The Places You'd Rather Be)
- When Astor enters Benji's name in his cell phone as BEN, Benji takes it upon himself to add the missing JI
- Not that this means anything, but it seems worthy enough for a note
- Doesn't like being called Benjamin either, correcting Eileen when she called him that (Silver Bells and Cockle Shells)
- He also corrects Calvin when he refers to him as Benjamin (If Anything Happens)
- When Eileen stated that no mother would name their mother Benji, he replied "Not every son grows up to be exactly what their mothers wanted"
- Named after Ryans
- This explains a preference for Benji
- Something to think about Benji/Ryans complete opposites: Soft spoken/Deep Loud Rumble, Coward/Badass, Aversion to Guns/Loves Guns, Gay/Straight, Short/Tall, Reluctant Leader/Leader
- Benji is the group's leader - the others have deferred to him in more than one instance

- Both Howard and Calvin (as well as Nora, who expressed no confusion at the mention) seem to know who "she" is
- Benji is represented by Grey in Dialogue I (Dialogue Redux)
- Was initially theorised he was represented by the pigeon - however that may have been an unwanted observer
- Howard insists they aren't being spied on, and is rather defensive of this
- Following this assertion, the pigeon is noted this is likely no coincidence
- Howard insists they aren't being spied on, and is rather defensive of this
- Was initially theorised he was represented by the pigeon - however that may have been an unwanted observer
- Benji's "Plan B" - if Astor would not have allowed him to stay at his apartment - was Roosevelt Island (The Places You'd Rather Be)
- This begs the question as to what or who is on Roosevelt Island that would represent appealing accommodations in Benji's mind
- Benji's mother is Delia Ryans (Upon a Loom)
- Delia believes she is pregnant again shortly after the death of her daughter Beth (Jeremiah 31.15-17)
- Benji's father is Nick Ruskin (Upon a Loom)
- He may get his knowledge of engines and mechanics from Nick

- Krav Maga(+MMA), learnt from Hana?
- Hannah's target may be Joseph Sumter (The Battle of Breakneck Road)

- Hannah's parents are Claira and Joseph Sumter, her step-mother is Kaylee Thatcher (A Daughter to Cry Over Him, Something of an Invitation)
- Joseph's ex-wife Claira gave birth to a baby girl sometime last year
- Joseph's daughter is named Hannah (A Daughter To Cry Over Him)
- This seems to jive mathematically with Hannah being one year older than Walter (assuming Walter is in fact 29 as previously suspected)
- Resembles Joseph - both have dark brown eyes and brown hair — though Hannah's is darker
- Seems to share a similar way of talking
- Mentioned that her dad would not approve of her doing anything militant, suggesting a more passive individual (Something Of An Invitation)
- Since her father died when she was 14 she would have learn the skills after that
- This would lend credence to her father being Joseph, if the dream some people have had of Joseph's funeral some 15 years hence is true
- Joseph's ex-wife Claira gave birth to a baby girl sometime last year
- Hannah's ability may be some form of Metal Mimicry (The Battle of Breakneck Road)
- Her skin glitters with the same metallic sheen as the remains of the handcuffs dangling from Joseph's wrists and the flash of a gold chain looped around her neck beneath the heavy collar of her coat (The Battle of Breakneck Road)
- Hannah owns a gold necklace - a crucifix - that is of some significance and value to her (Breaking Rules of Common Sense)
- She trusted Walter enough to allow him to hold it for her while she fought
- This necklace (coupled with hair length, and dark eyes) supports the theory that Hannah is Green in Dialogue I
- The necklace more than likely previously belonged to Joseph

- Seems to be covering up the military involvement in that massacre

- He also could have heard about her ability from someone on Pollepel
- He seemed surprised when she identified herself by her married name of Caliban, rather than maiden name Beauchamp

- Howard's biological mother died the day he was born and he was raised by people (unrelated to him) that his mother hardly knew (Having A Choice)

- Was taken into the custody of Delilah and Sable following Elle's death during childbirth (Spark)
- Howard's mother is Elle (Spark)

- They also share some surlier personality traits
- Walter told Elle she has a son in the future (On Behalf of Reason)
- They also share some surlier personality traits
- His jacket, the one he left on Elle, fit her perfectly - he was apparently wrapped in this jacket and it hasn't left his possession since the day it was born; it seems to be implied that he wouldn't even leave it with Adel (His Jacket)
- It's been shown to have been Sable's jacket - given their similar builds, it is unsurprising the jacket fit (Spark)
- When Howard was with Elle, he was uncharacteristically gentle - It seems that even if she isn't his birth mother, she means something to him (Broken Arrow)
- Given Elle's ability, it was highly unlikely that she could carry a pregnancy to term, but Howard's ability may have allowed this
- Howard's father may be Warren Ray (Hunch)
- Warren was once linked to Elle, Elle reportedly already knows the father of her son (All the Time You Need)
- The latter hinges on Walter having been completely honest with Elle, rather than manipulating her to ensure her cooperation

- Warren was once linked to Elle, Elle reportedly already knows the father of her son (All the Time You Need)

- Either the current machine in the future, or this might not be the first one (Hunch)
- This is because of the metal the Institute fused or replaced his skeleton with
- Howard seems and claims to care very little for the people of Pollepel Island and New York City (Dialogue I, Having a Choice)

- Howard was likely taken in by Sable Diego and Elaine Darrow-Diego following Elle's death (Spark)

- Periwinkle has only one line, but seems excitable, which Ingrid has proven to be
- Her cellphone case is purple - I bet it's a lighter purple ;)

- Shares an interest in politics with Nicole
- Seems to have followed Nicole's career, citing reading about her in Pause (How You Doin'?)
- Recorded the Advocate Christmas special, rather than go with Lene to the d'Sarthe gala (Imperfect)

- We've seen Nicole seem to entertain the notion of suicide before (Unfair, Unflattering)
- Was wearing a bracelet we didn't get to see - Nicole has a bracelet she never goes without (Please Don't Kick Anybody)
- All this said, Ingrid referred to Nicole as Miss Nichols, which could mean some detachment
- Ingrid is Non-evolved (Bidjie)
- When she took the compass into her own hands, it stopped spinning, it did nothing
- We know from the Heroes universe the compass only works on evolved
- She believes she manifested, making the fire alarm trip, but evidence suggests this was someone else's doing (Is That Your Blood?)
- When she took the compass into her own hands, it stopped spinning, it did nothing
- Ingrid's father is Benjamin Ryans (Bidjie, Nothing More to Be Done)
- Her dad is non-evolved (Bidjie)
- She suspects she is named for Ingrid Bergman, who had a role in Casablanca (One of the Others)
- It was Nicole who picked the name
- Ryans' alias is Richard Blaine, a character from Casablanca
- That her middle name is Mary doesn't surprise me, I could see Ryans doing that
- I don't know how Nicole let you get away with that, Ben
- She says she's from a large family — 'Nough said
- She talks about being jealous of her sisters for knowing him more — He died while she was still very young
- Makes her conversation with Delia make sense
- She seems to be proud of who her family is, despite something possibly having created a distance between them
- Which could either be age or obligation, but the mindset can be similar to that of a person grateful for having it regardless
- Ingrid metas that she spends most of her free time trying to convince herself quick thinking and calmness under pressure are genetically inherited (Is That Your Blood?)
- While being aware there are others out there like it, this is a Ryans trait
- This works two-fold when you take into account Nicole's line of work
- While being aware there are others out there like it, this is a Ryans trait
- Ingrid calls Benji Bidjie
- Judging from the way that Benji refers to her as Iggy in return, Bidjie is likely a mispronunciation from youth that stuck
- Ingrid may be Benji's sister (Bidjie, Please Don't Kick Anybody, etc.)
- In addition to Ingrid referring to Benji as Bidjie, and he in return calling her Iggy, Walter stated she is like his buddy's kid sister
- Like seems to be a tricky word here - it could be filler, or like blood, without her actually being Aforementioned Buddy's sister
- This also assumes that Benji is actually the friend Walter refers to - we know he's close to Astor as well
- If this were the case, however, Ingrid's meta likely would have stated that Astor doesn't remind her of their mother
- Most likely, Benji is Ingrid's nephew, as he is suspected to be either Delia or Lucille's son
- In addition to Ingrid referring to Benji as Bidjie, and he in return calling her Iggy, Walter stated she is like his buddy's kid sister

Kincaid Russo
- Kincaid's target Seems to be Russo (Manning Up, etc.)
-
- When they discuss Brad leaving the studio, Kincaid makes a decision to come with - wherever that may be (Manning Up)
- While he doesn't outright discourage it, seems against Brad running for office

- Both work in television

- Last name is August, Russo's mother's name was September - assuming August is an alias, this may be homage to his grandmother
- Calvin seems to know about Kincaid's family, calling his mother "an absolute looney tune," then picking at Russo (Emergency Contact)
- Though this isn't necessarily evidence that Russo is Kincaid's father, Russo is obviously connected to someone Calvin is close to
- Claims self-destruction's in [his] blood — Russo can be described as self-destructive (Odd Ball)

- She may have previously been spoken of by Kincaid and Jasmine (Of Wolves)
- Whoever she is, she's supposed to be able to take care of herself, and think the others need looking after
- Kitty may be Cat from the future. (Crazy theory based on Turned Upside Down)
- She is described as a woman of dark hair and eyes and around 50. Which would be about the right age for Cat. (Turned Upside Down)
- Mentions lunch, which Cat is always offering food or drink when people visit her.
- Howard starts to say "That's what she does, she just goes off an'— " could he be starting to say something about her going off into tangents? ;)
- Cat is in a sense a perfect 'archive' for memories, if Kaylee or another telepath puts them there. Making her a perfect person for Benji to draw upon for all the memories people are being shown.
- Some of the flaws in this: It doesn't explain the memories of people dead and gone. Was it a project long time in the works? Or maybe some of these memory dreams are not the exact memories? It also seems like the woman has memory problems as well. Also hinted at that she's not a native English speaker.
Jolene Chevalier
- Lene originally identified herself as Jolene Marlowe (Lene)
- This alias was allegedly stolen by T.Monk/Rebel, since it was close enough to her (alleged) real name Marley (The Easiest Lie)
- If what Lene says about having worked with T.Monk is true, this may mean there is a connection between her (and her compatriots) and Hana Gitelman
- This link seems to be confirmed via Nora (Azkarah)
- If what Lene says about having worked with T.Monk is true, this may mean there is a connection between her (and her compatriots) and Hana Gitelman

- She seems to possibly have an interest in Ingrid, the two share an apartment - though Ingrid refers to Lene only as her best friend (How You Doin'?)
- Lene's IM name is violet_papillon (How You Doin'?)
- Gillian's color scheme purple/violet - Her power, amidst other things
- Lene seemed to recognise Nicole, but couldn't place her (How You Doin'?)
- This could be from her interview in Pause in March 2010 - an article Ingrid says she has read
- Lene's mother is Gillian (Hunch, Incognito Ergo Sum, The Easiest Lie, Make Your Own Kind of Music)
- Gillian was separated from her Company-affiliated family - Lene's grandparents?
- Brian could be the long-lost uncle
- Seems to share tastes and personality quirks with Gillian
- Gillian wears a locket with pictures of her parents inside
- Lene is seen wearing a locket that obviously means a lot to her, though the pictures have been destroyed by fire (Make Your Own Kind of Music)

- Gillian uses her Gwen Chevalier alias full time in the future (Woven Worlds)
- Gillian is currently using Chevalier as an alias - Alison Winters' maiden name is Chevalier
- Gillian was separated from her Company-affiliated family - Lene's grandparents?

- Now claims to be a telepath, Telepathic Intuition (The Easiest Lie)
- Lene is afraid of birds (Proust Questionnaire)
- Lene employs some interesting slang (Incognito Ergo Sum, How You Doin'?)
- Primal and Spoilers so far
- The latter is not quite so unexpected considering her literary affinity - Primal is more brow-raising
- Primal and Spoilers so far
- Lene claims to have been fan of Savannah Burton's books since she was a kid (Your Biggest Fan)
- This doesn't jive if her listed birthdate of 1990 is legitimate
- Lene's "target" may be Savannah, or those at Redbird Security (Inflammatory Prose, Incognito Ergo Sum, Your Biggest Fan, The Easiest Lie)
- Lene seems to change abilities like underwear - and the abilities she claims to have are the abilities her friends possess
- This could suggest that Lene is an empath much like Peter Petrelli
- Despite claims/displays of multiple abilities, she's not been seen "using" more than one in any given scene
- This is suggestive of the new iteration of Peter's ability
- To elaborate on the above points, with the unlikeness of two telepaths in a group - possible, certainly, but with a group that small they are likely more diverse - it is likely that she is either lying to cover her tracks by using her friends abilities as applicable
- It is, however, more likely, as exhibited by her claim to have the seen the future and acted on it after reading about Savannah - an ability later attributed to a friend, and then possessing mental feedback when Aric tried to look over her, a sign of a telepath and an ability already held by Benji, that she possess the ability to empathically retain abilities or some sort of ability mimicry
- Whether it's the Swiss army knife variety that Peter used to possess, or a more limited form of ability mimicry is unknown - but she could have strategically acquired Benji's ability at any point to keep her mind probe free - This is further proven possible by the possible demonstration of a third ability - which could possibly have been Calvin's telekinesis, judging from how he pulled the fire alarm (Is That Your Blood?)
- There is also the possibility she temporarily copies abilities from people around her, from how she seemed to "search" for a way to intervene with Josh
- This would account for use of Aric's telepathy (which was then followed by a lie so they didn't catch on), and Griffin's telekinesis in the respective scenes
- There is also the possibility she temporarily copies abilities from people around her, from how she seemed to "search" for a way to intervene with Josh
- Whether it's the Swiss army knife variety that Peter used to possess, or a more limited form of ability mimicry is unknown - but she could have strategically acquired Benji's ability at any point to keep her mind probe free - This is further proven possible by the possible demonstration of a third ability - which could possibly have been Calvin's telekinesis, judging from how he pulled the fire alarm (Is That Your Blood?)

- Jolene's last name is certainly not Marlowe or Marley (Your Name in Numbers Meme, numerous IC slip-ups)
- Based on the clues of her name having a collective fifteen letters, seven vowels and eight consonants, totalling 47, her surname is Chevalier
- Lene is Red in Dialogue I (Dialogue Redux)
-
- Neat little fact… What Jolene owns that's red: Cellphone, hair and glasses
-
- Lene has a brother who died with her mother (Hand Made Family Portraits)
- If her mother is Gillian, she has a son named Nate
- Lene may have been taken in by Ygraine Fitzroy and Robyn Quinn following the death of her parents (By Bond)
- The little girl lost her mother and brother following a fire - perhaps a bombing - which is consistent with what Lene told Brian (Hand Made Family Portraits)
- This would account for heat damaged locket we've seen Lene wearing (Make Your Own Kind of Music)
- The little girl lost her mother and brother following a fire - perhaps a bombing - which is consistent with what Lene told Brian (Hand Made Family Portraits)

- When Howard says they have no leader, Benji once again says "I wish she was here" and that they have a leader
- Benji and Howard (Traction)
- Benji agrees with Howard that they have no leader, then disagrees and corrects himself by saying they had a leader
- If "she" is their leader, their reflections on wishing she were there could be due to lack of direction
- Howard expresses that "she" was right, and they need to "tell them what we're doing"
- Benji refers to some "chance" that they all gave "her"
- Benji agrees with Howard that they have no leader, then disagrees and corrects himself by saying they had a leader
- Kincaid and Jasmine (Of Wolves)
- Is she okay? Kincaid asks, to which Jasmine answers, Oh, yes, so I hear
- This implies that Jasmine has not had direct contact with whoever "she" is for some time now
- These two could be referencing Kitty (Take Backs)
- This implies that Jasmine has not had direct contact with whoever "she" is for some time now
- Is she okay? Kincaid asks, to which Jasmine answers, Oh, yes, so I hear
- Benji, Calvin, and Nora (If Anything Happens)
- The Woman could possibly be either the missing person from Dialogue I or the Grey Speaker
- In taking the conversations about wanting her near more literally than in terms of talking about the past or where they are from
- The missing member of Dialogue I is referred to by masculine pronouns
- We have some confirmation that Astor was the missing party (Dialogue Redux)
- Grey is Benji/Jasmine Ryans (Dialogue Redux)
- The missing member of Dialogue I is referred to by masculine pronouns
- In taking the conversations about wanting her near more literally than in terms of talking about the past or where they are from
- The Woman is presumed to be the nebulous "she" referred to, but there may be more than one "she" to be referred to
- The Woman could be the same as the Red-Haired Woman (see next section)
- The Woman could be their leader, who went missing just before their mission was set to begin (Mixed Blessing)
- She's described as being older than the rest by Joshua
- OMGWTFBJ?
- She's described as being older than the rest by Joshua
The Red-Haired Woman… (Delia Ryans)
- The Red-Haired Woman appears in one of Jasmine's dreams, in a green landscape with a small house and a young boy (Buried)
- The Red-Haired Woman may be is Delia Ryans (Buried)
- She is described as dressed in white, with bare feet - as we've seen of Delia in her dreams
- In the Director's Cut, Benji informs Astor and Walter that the Nightmare Woman showed up at his home (Piss-Poor)
- The Red-Haired Woman may be Juniper Whitmore (Breadcrumbs, Part I)
- Though Juniper gave birth to a daughter, Noa as a surrogate for Hana
- Other red-heads with sons include: Bella Sheridan, Delilah Trafford
…and the Young Boy (Benji Ryans)
- The Young Boy is seen in Jasmine's dream, a companion of the woman with red hair (Buried)
- The Young Boy may be the subject of the drabble Le Roman de Renard (Hunch)
- He is seen reading a book that he is very protective of once the rain begins to fall - it could be the same book (Buried)
- The Young Boy doesn't have much in the way of physical description, but his eyes are said to be pale (Buried)
- The Young Boy is not the same as the boy that the Nightmare Woman is searching for (Hunch)
- Even though she saw him, the Nightmare Woman did not react to the Young Boy (Buried)
- The Young Boy has a two syllable name (Buried)
- Wal-ter/Wal-ly
- Cal-vin
- How-ard/Howie/Ro-bert
- As-tor
- J-J
- Ben-ji
- The Young Boy may be is Benji Ryans based on the information above
- We've (presumably) seen Benji as an avid reader (Sung to a Harp)
- Knowing that Jasmine weaves her dreams from memories, Buried could be memory of a time with her mother
- In the Director's Cut, Benji informs Astor and Walter that the Nightmare Woman showed up at his home (Piss-Poor)
- Still curious that her hair would be worn blonde - perhaps representing Ingrid?
The Nightmare Woman (Eileen Gray)
- The Nightmare Woman appears to be someone Jasmine once knew quite well (But Not Forever, Buried)
- The Nightmare Woman is concerned about the whereabouts of the boy (But Not Forever)
- The boy appears to be the Nightmare Woman's son (Buried)
- The Nightmare Woman may be is Eileen Gray (Eviction and Slaughter)
- When Gabriel probes Eileen's sleeping mind for her intruder, the Nightmare Woman appears to him as her
- It's rationalised as borrowing memories from both Gabriel and Eileen, but could be who she is as well
- When Gabriel probes Eileen's sleeping mind for her intruder, the Nightmare Woman appears to him as her
- The Nightmare Woman is a part of Jasmine (Hunch)
- Hokuto was in pieces, three parts — what if this woman is a part of Jasmine's personality?
- Given that we now know Jasmine and Benji are the same, this theory is much less likely
- This theory was also presented (in a sense) and rejected by the dreamer herself, as was Hokuto's involvement (Piss-Poor)
- The Nightmare Woman was previously in a goshawk (Glass, Speaks of Loss)
- Then, the Nightmare Woman's consciousness resided in Eileen Ruskin (Not a Person, Eviction and Slaughter)
- Now, Munin's mind and memories are housed within a sparrow, in the keeping of the boy, Astor (Matka)
- Then, the Nightmare Woman's consciousness resided in Eileen Ruskin (Not a Person, Eviction and Slaughter)
Theories About Everything Else
War Future and Woven Worlds: A Chronology
Good news, everybody! It's time to finally start trying to put the dreams of the future into something resembling a rough chronological timeline, both for our own benefit and so that staff can giggle and point and laugh as we flail about!
So, here's how there's going to work - a table with three sections for each upcoming decade. A log will be marked (Uncategorised) until it's placed in a proper spot on the time line. Anyone is free to move and place a scene on the timeline, but you absolutely must include your reasoning either in a comment or in the change text, and bolding a moved scene would be fantastic as well. But largely I think once put together these should all fit together pretty well.
That's pretty much it. Thanks guys, and have fun!
~ Ling
P.S. When organising, the icons can make for a good guideline, but do not rely explicitly on them. Some logs, particularly ones set on cusps of change over dates, have had their icons changed one or more times after posting. As well, when listing participants, list all known characters in a scene, not just the dreamers. This will create some clutter, but it needs to be done.
| The War Future, Part One: 1 - ~9/10 Years | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Log Title | Description | Participants | Notes |
| The War Future, Part Two: ~10/11 - ~19/20 Years | |||
| Log Title | Description | Participants | Notes |
| Hello Darkness My Old Friend | Coercion to one end diverts into coercion to another with a side of That Which Has Not Yet Come To Pass. | Lancaster, Vincent, and OMGWTFGB | An attack on FRONTLINE. Not sure where this falls in relation to LaFotF. Should be before, based on ages of children. |
| The Princess with the Golden Slippers | Odessa takes a gamble for an old friend. | Elle, Julie, Odessa, and OMGWTFGB | Odessa arranges to sneak Julie and a pregnant Elle out of the Institute. Surprise Guest Appearance by OMGWTFGB. — This should take place some time before LaFotF, but after HDMOF. |
| Like a Flower of the Field | Five dreamers are gathered to witness an event that may or may not be in their shared. | Abby, Astor, Benji, Colette, Delilah, Deckard, Delia, Eileen, Elisabeth, Griffin, Hannah, Ingrid, Joshua, Junko(?), Kaylee, Raith, Ryans, and Walter | Depicts Joseph's Funeral, with Kaylee giving the eulogy and numerous Ferrymen (+ children) in attendance. There is still one child whose identity is unknown. (Pretty sure that's Junko, so I added her as such.) |

| Log Title | Description | Participants | Notes |
The Compass
- The compass was originally in the keeping of Howard Phillips (Good Intentions Bring About Questions, Dialogue I, Stolen Goods)
- The compass is now presumably in Hannah Kirby's possession (Stolen Goods)
- The compass - or a compass - has appeared in the possession of Benji Foster (Bidjie)
- That compass does nothing when held by Ingrid Raines
Primal
- Several characters have been heard using the term primal as interchangeable with awesome or cool
- The usage of this slang could be indicative of these characters being from the future
- Or at the very least, affiliated with each other in some form, in the event they aren't time travelers
- Characters that have used the term primal on screen are:
- Lene (Incognito Ergo Sum, Is That Your Blood?, Proust Questionnaire)
- Kincaid (Goodbye Neutrality, The Pitch)
- Adel (Unicorns Are People Too, Secret Identities, Battle, Latecomer, Dialogue Redux, Proust Questionnaire)
- JJ (A More Apt Pupil)
- Joshua (Ridin' Dirty, Is That Your Blood?, Logical)
- Benji (Pass Along The Message)
- Nora (Silent Night, Part I)
- Calvin (Morning Glory)
Coffee
- Wherever these alleged time travellers come from, the coffee is shit — A few characters have been mighty excited about a good cuppa jo
- Lene went all spoilers with Ingrid over her raspberry mocha (How You Doin'?)
- Kincaid - aside from spilling on himself - seems to be very pleased when someone buys him coffee
- Coffee - or the caffeine in it - may be used to fuel Kincaid's ability
- Astor is the odd duck here, as he seems to enjoy shitty coffee - or he is just lazy (The Places You'd Rather Be)
- Calvin apparently enjoys his with sugar, and not cream (Our Worst Fears)
- On the chance that the Dialogue I Conspirators do come from the Flood future, the instant coffee is probably awful

- She has referred to her parents specifically in these terms (Something of an Invitation)
- 'Daddy' may be Joseph, 'Second Momma' may be Kaylee
- Hannah Sumter
- Aged Men may be written by/about:
- Joshua Harrison
- The tone of this piece suggests a male perspective, and seems to read like Joshua
- His mother died of illness, which could very well set the tone for this piece (Imperfect)
- It isn't a stretch to believe that Liz Harrison is a hero, and that her son may have witnessed her death
- Above points are fairly well confirmed (Mixed Blessing)
- Joshua Harrison

- There are sisters mentioned in this piece - Ingrid claims to come from a large family (How You Doin'?)
- Ingrid Ryans
- Surrendered may be written by/about:
- Walter Trafford
- The little girl referenced in this piece may be the daughter he's professed to have
- He may be the father cut out of her life
- However, Walter has referenced having held his daughter, so this may disprove it
- It may be a snippet from a point in time, as it may be Walter before he was allowed to see his daughter; it has been documented that he had been gone and 'had no choice', and that he may have left his family or daughter virtually in his mother's care (Abandon)
- He may be the father cut out of her life
- The little girl referenced in this piece may be the daughter he's professed to have
- Walter Trafford
- Fawns may be written by/about:
- Benji Ryans and Astor Ruskin-Gray
- These two also seem to share a bond
- Eileen is most likely the author, and she is very fond of poetry (Sung to a Harp)
- Benji Ryans and Astor Ruskin-Gray
- Reworked in the Margin at 2 AM may be written by/about:
- Astor Ruskin-Gray
- This is just a hunch - blame Huddy and Brian okay?
- This piece may be a work of fiction that one of the characters is writing — Jolene Chevalier may be the writing type
- An H5-N10 outbreak on Pollepel Island
- Astor Ruskin-Gray
- Where She Knows She'll Find It may be written by/about:
- This sounds like the letter of a runaway freedom fighter almost more than a if you're reading this, I'm dead letter
- Ingrid Ryans
- Ingrid talks about having left her mother; this note could be from her
- Accidents may be written by/about:
- Hannah Sumter
- She seems to be the type to ride a motorcycle and break someone's nose for calling her a dyke
- The nose broken may be Joshua's
- Friendship, Polk County is in Georgia - Hannah hails from the south
- She seems to be the type to ride a motorcycle and break someone's nose for calling her a dyke
- Noa Gitelman
- We've yet to see Nora properly drunk, but she may be the type to get surly when she does
- She was avoiding drinking at the impromptu celebration at Bannerman's Castle (Rising of the Moon)
- This said, depending upon the state, Nora may not be old enough to drive a motorcycle, ruling her out
- She was avoiding drinking at the impromptu celebration at Bannerman's Castle (Rising of the Moon)
- She as quite the temper, making her a good candidate
- She informs Abby that hers is the first nose she's accidentally broken (Hitchcockian Epilogues)
- We've yet to see Nora properly drunk, but she may be the type to get surly when she does
- Hannah Sumter
- Le Roman de Renard may be written by/about:
- Walter Trafford

- Kasha Beauchamp-Gerken
- Selfish Misery may be written by/about:
- Kincaid Russo
- His father was a drinker, mentioned in more than one scene that he knew two people who weren't happy together
- He mentions that some people are better off apart than together, the same mentality of the author of this drabble (Cup of Joe? I Dunno)
- Confirmed by what Kincaid's told his parents (Not a Joke, Not that Little Boy Anymore)
- Kincaid Russo
- Complicated may be written by/about:
- This is a tricky piece that could be written about four very different women, or one very multi-faceted woman
- Walter Trafford
- As things stand, it is very possible Walter will be effectively raised by more than one woman
- Adel Darrow-Diego
- The last line suggests that the author is a positive person - Adel seems to be the most upbeat of the new NPCs
- We know Adel and Howard were brought up together by moms, plural
- Seems to be confirmed by Adel's being raised by Elaine, Sable, Quinn, and Ygraine (In the Sky with Diamonds)
- Howard Phillips
- Howard mentions being raised by his moms (Meals for Millions)
- Fine Print may be written by/about:
- Calvin Sheridan
- Tone - This piece feels suitably artistic for Calvin

- Calvin Sheridan
- Resent may be written by/about:
- Howard Phillips
- He was raised by people who didn't know/barely knew his mother (Having a Choice)
- This piece could imply being "stolen" by the Institute - this also means his father may work with the Institute
- This works well with the theory that Warren is Howard's father
- Howard Phillips
- The Corpses of Fireflies may be written by/about:
- Jolene Chevalier
- There is a photo of Lene with a jar full of fireflies - just sayin'
- Catching fireflies in a jar and having doubts about herself seems like a Lene sort of thing
- This would mean Lene's father died when she was very young, and her mother outlived him
- "Everything lives to be free" may tie to how/why the writer's father died more than not keeping fireflies trapped in jars
- Ingrid Ryans
- She was young when her father died, and perhaps didn't realise right away that he was really gone
- The author's father may be !Richard Cardinal (The Shadow Knows)
- !Cardinal utters the phrase "everything lives to be free" to Delia Ryans in his dreamscape
- Jolene Chevalier
- The Human Condition may be written by/about:
- Jasmine
- Summoned by the jasmine could be meant to be a poetic allusion
- This piece feels like an allusion to a dream world
- An allusion to Benji's closeted situation?
- Jasmine
- Altruism may be written by/about:
- Noa Gitelman
- The narrative feels very much like it could be spoken by Nora's lips
- Given her lineage, this makes a lot of sense
- Noa Gitelman
- Stories from the Past may be written by/about:
- Jay Mortlock-Dawson
- Being a psychometer, JJ is most likely to appreciate antiques for the reasons outline in this piece
- Astor Ruskin-Gray
- The treehouse from Breadcrumbs, Part I belonged to him

- Jasmine is the only one of the NPCs to have (meaningfully) interacted with Delia so far
- Jasmine's been in 3 dreams with Delia where the writer has only been visited once.
- Delia might be referenced in the piece, but the Lioness might be Lucille.
- Talks about her being dark and fierce, which might mean the hair color, which is currently dark
- Lucille also often calls herself a Lioness as well.
- Jasmine is the only one of the NPCs to have (meaningfully) interacted with Delia so far
- Delia Ryans is referenced in this piece - a red-haired woman with blue eyes who smells of lavender

- She has supposedly had a brush with the 5-10 in her past
- The "lioness" referenced could well be Hana Gitelman, Nora's mother (Azkarah)
- Jasmine
- Five Kisses may be written by/about:
- Astor Ruskin-Gray
- Tone
- 1. Lin carries a little extra weight
- 2. Is disconcerting and I don't even want to think about it Could be dies like dies laughing

Alternative Past, Present, and Future Timelines
Non-Specific Alternate Timeline Theories
- There may be an alternate timeline in which Simon Broome died and the Institute may never have been formed (Forward the Institute)
- Could this be why even though it is suggested that it has "always" been there, there was no notice of it until recently?
- A shift in the timeline/reality? With backstory tossed into the mix after the fact to substantiate the existence?
- Could this be why even though it is suggested that it has "always" been there, there was no notice of it until recently?
The Bright Future
- The Institute doesn't seem to have existed in the Bright Future
-
- It is possible the Institute existed at some point in this timeline, and was either disbanded or taken over by Arthur
- It is also possible that the timeline deviation that leads to the creation of the Institute comes after this point, given how !Cardinal speaks about the Bright Future as something the world needed (Citation Needed)
-
The Flood
- The Institute is said to have existed in the Flood Future, and is indicated to exist "up north" of New York (Assumed to be, though unstated, Massachusetts) in an underwater settlement (La Mer, Part II)
- The Institute is, in fact, working on an underground settlement, possibly in preparation of an eventual flood still happening if !Card's plans continue unabated (The Commonwealth Arcology)
Monochrome Delirious
- The Institute was also referenced in a "vision" of an alternate New York after the Flood (Monochrome Delirious, Part III)
- Eileen/Munin - seemingly afflicted with Julian Kuhr's degeneration, but in full control of her avian telepathy - ruled the roost (Monochrome Delirious, Part V)
- Birds were very feared in this New York - some of the alleged time travellers have a fear of birds (Proust Questionnaires)
Miscellaneous Stuff Huddy Wants to Know
- Who gave Calvin his hand-knit scarf? Who made it for him?
- What does Ingrid's bracelet look like?
- What is the significance of the necklace Benjasmine wears?
- It once belonged to Nick Ruskin, a gift from Delia Ryans
- Why are the NPCs afraid of birds?

- Who is the war between? Us vs. Them? Or something more global like USA vs. China?
- Where did Selina come from?
- The box of kittens referenced (and rescued) by Astor (Piss-Poor)
- Why does Benji feel guilty when she looks at Rue?
- What the fuck is Calvin doing in a dress uniform?
- Why do there seem to be so many Evo war heroes? Are the Evolved drafted to fight?
