As far as we've seen all the dead players on Eternum are probably npcs that work for Eternum. Following the theory that Benjamin was the npc in the Rockefeller mansion, and after seeing the reflection on his sunglasses when you see him in the first flash it looks like a strange place, probably some kind of laboratory.
But I like the theory about Syndicate being rogue AI or something like that. That's explains how the appear out of nowhere and maybe how they help you from shadows.
About Charon, I'm not sure there is one. This isn't following every mythological part to the letter, but if I have to guess the lady in black looks like a guide related to another 'world' so far. But I'm not sure there is or will be a Charon.
The first think I thought on 0.1 version was that the lady in black was Luna or her mother. But if you look to the haircut it's more like Idriel. And we've seen a flashed image of Idriel being in a darker mode, like corrupted.
So I don't think Luna and Lady in Black have relation. Just coincidentally both red eyes.
I don't think Mr Hernandez is anything but a normal man. He likes to joke but he didn't do anything suspicious so far. It could be but we don't have any solid clue yet.
The 'church' looks the same (maybe it's the same or maybe there are others that look like that. But is the same cult that Alex talked about? It's hard to tell because it was just that mention and that cult wasn't in Kredon. But later, when going to the Rockefeller mansion, you used the demon mask, the Oni one, and the Oni eat humans. Sooo, maybe we are reading too much between lines or maybe it's all related in some point.
Who do you think is the woman from the nightmare in the morgue? Her haircut looks like the one the child from the first nightmare and the founder, so I believe she was talking about what the founder had to do, he sacrificed himself to save another (maybe his child or his wife) but he was against the odds and lost, but he managed to stay on Eternum and influence people from our world to "create" the game. The goal? That another reunite the gems of doom for him so he can change the past, or save (resurrect) the ones that he couldn't in the past. But he can't do it without physical presence, and that explains why the AIs can't either.

Another interesting post...
Did you find anything in the game so far that could reference Cernunnos? In Celtic mythology the stag (deer) represents magic and transformation. They had white, red and black versions also. Cernunnos was the main link between nature and man, so would be interesting if that played in somehow.
would be kinda cool tho if cabardis makes this a tie in about the sons of azatoh and the mc there is still using the cult

I'm with you. I'm bad with faces but Idriel looks similar to the lady in black, so she could be the same but "corrupted" or maybe a twin or discarded AI.
I think the coin was a metaphor to Uroboros. Head eating her own tail, so head or tail can have that meaning. Another can be doing one thing or the other, if there is a destiny and we can't change it no matter how much tines we tried, then it will be heads again, you can't change it, and if you say tails, meaning you can change it she smiles, remember she said 'this time... It will be the right one'.
Wait, really? Caribdis is japanese?
But sorry if it bothers so much text and crazy theories. I really like to come here and talk about crazy ideas with you all because there isn't so much people to talk about this kind of games in my real life, one or two friends and not much into it like me or anyone here.

...I could've sworn someone said a while back in this thread that he was from Spain...
...then again there's no rule that says a Spanish citizen can't be of Japanese descent so...

I think people inferred he was from a Spanish-speaking country because of the way he spelled his name. Someone told him his spelling was wrong, that it should be spelled as Charybdis. Then someone else pointed out the Spanish spelling is Caribdis. Someone did ask if Caribdis was British because Once in a Lifetime is set in a British school, but he said no. It's funny you know. He is so good at writing mysteries, that even his origins is a mystery, but he left hints xd.

Would you have developed tentacle and vore?
I think the bombs did something to the water supply over there. Some really twisted stuff has come from that string of islands.

I will stop praying because he probably wants to not share personal info. But sometimes this thought crosses my mind, how cool would be to be friend of someone that makes VN like this.
No matter where they are from, but this VN is one of the best games ever I played, and he didn't needed millions and whole teams to make it. I'm just proud of every creator going not only for NSFW part, but amazing stories and characters, they made all players proud and show us that anyone with a good story can share it it others.
I may be about to ruin it for you, but anyone notice the first annie nude scene, her arm is VERY CLEARLY broken?

It's a known flaw in the models. Without actual bones, the software doesn't always move a joint naturally, or present the flesh around those joints realistically. I'm not positive, but I think it is worse with Honeyselect models (used in Eternum) versus DAZ3D (which many other games use).
First time posting here... Is it possible that Thanatos is different version of Orion (maybe corrupted version) that was somehow created in different timeline.
so good that i just learned its caribdis and not carbadis

I remember seeing that kind of plot twist in anime. But here it doesn't look like it. First or all Thanatos has a strange sense of honor that MC doesn't (so far at least). And second, Thanatos was surprised when MC attacked him with ultra speed and bare hands, but if he was the same person he would be able to recognize himself.
We haven't seen any character duplication so it's hard to believe MC will have a double of himself from another timeline on Eternum.
