r/FortNiteLore

I feel like most people on this are gonna say same cast but I’m curious on what the responses will be here (I prefer same cast personally)

who is this, and does she have any storyline apperances?

Note: when it comes to returning characters judge them by their story and role in this chapter specifically, not in general

I’ve always wondered if cosmetics are canon, specifically the ones that have the Looper using powers. Like can the Looper actually have Flash’s speed using Quick Bite, or Wanda’s Magic using Psychic Energy Manipulation?

There’s also descriptions for the pickaxes that say stuff like “Sharper than the trajectory from here to infinity.” Or “Command the stars! Or one of them, at least.” But im not sure if that’s exaggerated.

So my understanding is that Cluster gets people to be his "Runners" who do the dirty work by finding Sprites and extracting them but the part that confuses me is how does that make "easy money" and "bread right outta the air" for specifically Cluster while he just sits back and watches? Like Cluster is clearly very rich so I'm wondering how does this Sprite Runner operation help Cluster make money so easily?

you think Geno wants The Imagined back? He blames Jones and the seven for taking his daughter plus destorying the I.O. Basicly his revengr is two birds with one stone.

Jones is one of the folks he blames. Also Foundation but he got rid of the Foundation.

I feel like the only reason why they haven't returned is due to trying to get the voice actors to return which was the issue with foundation returning. That why I believe fortnite shouldn't tie anyone large celebrity with fortnite lore anyways as I believe the paradigm could of been more important but they just wanted a way to kill her off to not pay the voice actor. Anyways, I just hope the chromed members return soon rather then later.

remember this is about STORY, nothing else

I mean, despite us knowing a lot I guess, I feel like there’s just so much lore overall that we don’t know about, things that are still under wraps. What do you guys think?

I really hope that he did went out with dignity

I think the force hunting and nearly wiping out the Fox Clan was the Dark Presence.
My reasoning is pretty simple: I think the Dark Presence wanted the Masks of Power, so it targeted the people connected to them. I'm not completely sure why it wanted the masks, but it's clear they were important to its plans.
The Masks of Power were dangerous artifacts created by Daigo's ancestors, a family of mask artisans whose ambition led to the Shattering War. After the war, magic was banished, most of the masks were destroyed, and the Fox Clan remained closely tied to their legacy.
Vi, a member of the Fox Clan, even says:
"Whoever gave you that Fox Clan mask made you a target..."
That suggests that simply having a connection to a Fox Clan mask was enough to be hunted.
"Drift? Drift. Come in. Do you read me? I know you don't know who I am, but the Fox Clan is in trouble. We need you. We always thought we were the trackers, but something is tracking US down now. Something old. Something... bad. They got everyone. I barely escaped. I'm... I'm the only one left. Whoever gave you that Fox Clan mask made you a target... If we don't work together team up they'll come for you next. They're closing in."
This confirms the Fox Clan was being hunted by an ancient force. It also reinforces that the masks are connected to why they're being targeted.
The Fox Clan's history makes this even more interesting. Their founder was a nine-tailed Kitsune, meaning the clan has existed for centuries and In Japanese folklore, Kitsune are often considered yōkai and, in some traditions, are associated with oni or demonic spirits.
The Dark Presence is even older.
Night Rose says:
"I have my freedom, after centuries of bondage."
"The demon that you know as Shogun X... was once someone I trusted."
"I have been bound to his service for a very, very long time."
She also says:
"Millennia ago, I slew many warriors there."
These lines show that the Dark Presence and its influence go back centuries, if not millennia, making it entirely possible that it knew about the Fox Clan and their connection to the Masks of Power.
Jade also says:
"It knew me. My family's bloodline. And it wants us, all of us... but especially Daigo."
To me, that's one of the biggest clues. The Dark Presence wasn't randomly attacking people it specifically knew Jade's family and was especially interested in Daigo.
That makes sense because Daigo's ancestors were the ones who created the Masks of Power.
While possessed, Daigo says:
"The power of the mask is mine to wield."
But after you kill him in game, he says:
"His influence... It's too strong... I can't... fight him..."
That confirms Daigo wasn't acting on his own. The Dark Presence was controlling him, and by possessing someone whose bloodline created the masks, it gained a way to wield their power I guess??.
I'm still not 100% sure why the Dark Presence wanted the Masks of Power, but I do think the evidence shows it was clearly interested in them. It knew about Daigo's ancestors, targeted his family, possessed Daigo to use a mask, and the Fox Clan was hunted because of their connection to those same masks. That's my theory, anyway. If you don't think it was the Dark Presence, then who do you think was hunting the Fox Clan? I'm curious to hear what other explanations people have.
