Mr Czernin Just Give Me A Chance. Please

wc tumblr and twitter will see a character with flaws and call it bad writing bc they can’t handle complex characters (nightheart) (him being whiny is intentional it’s not bad writing)

This year's pumpkin carving results

Oh, the full subtitle has even more concerning things to it! (Mind you this is machine translated, but still!!)

The piece that has become a puppet to protect the King.

All the pieces gain honor and are shattered for him.

Innocence is sometimes cruel,

By the time you realize it, it's checkmate.

If his story really does end up fitting the Czernin legend/wanting to seem normal, it could definitely be something along the lines of wanting his innocence back/to become carefree again! (Esp since the Japanese announcement for him describes him as delicate/sensitive and timid, with a contrasting doll.)

And for context in case it helps your analysis, here's his Weibo poster! :) The flooring and the trees reminded me of Darkwoods.

Today I am revisiting an analysis I made on Matthias Czernin, the Puppeteer, who is the current upcoming survivor in idv. I'm going briefly discuss his design before making some speculations about his kit.

So first, let's talk about Main Matthias (the actual character, not the puppet). First of all, he's wearing lots of black and grey, very dark colours. This may point to him having an introverted personality, but it could also have to do with his surname, Czernin, meaning "black". His clothes are also traditional clothing, speculated to be either Czech or Polish. It's likely he's Czech based on his surname. He's also noticeably incredibly injured, his face has scars, his shoulder is ripped up, his hair is uneven and he's missing his left eye. I think he suffered some kind of accident or abuse that left him with scars, or his injuries came from his time in the manor as we know some survivors killed their teammates before matches even began. The name "Czernin" was given to a man who survived a massacre by villagers who found him, which makes me believe his parents may have been killed but they managed to keep him safe until someone found him.

His puppet, who I shall dub "Minitthias" until it gets a proper name, seems to look like Matthias as a child, full of joy and energy. I think Matthias made Minitthias to cope with some kind of trauma, as generally puppets aren't reflections of the puppeteer but rather individual characters. Perhaps he tried to heal his damaged inner child?

It's been speculated in leaks that Matthias will be a contain type with rescue capabilities, which helps to combat the popular theory that he'll just be a better Tracy (seriously, Netease, just buff her. It's not that hard) and that he'll be able to turn into his puppet. I think he'll have some kind of debuffs that will become buffs in puppet form and some buffs that become debuffs in puppet form, perhaps Matthias is a slow baulter but Minitthias is faster, or Minitthias is a slow decoder while Matthias can do it faster. These make sense because a puppeteer would have good hand eye coordination, which would help with decoding, whilst the puppet will always be clumsier, and Matthias is so injured that the puppet will always be faster than him. I also think Matthias may be like Luca in that he'll have a smaller range of detecting a terror radius as he doesn't have his left eye, he might have lower situational awareness on his left side.

Anyway, i will not apologise for the person i will become on February 1, I am so excited for him. I might make an update when his PV releases. Happy new year, folks.

MATTHIAS BACKGROUND STORY CAME OUT TIME TO BE INSANE ABOUT HIM.

Ok so this PV definitely proved my theories were wrong, so let's make some new ones.

It seems that Matthias' father made "Louis" (RIP Minitthias) and that he was a famous puppeteer. It also feels like Matthias' was neglected, as if his parents preferred the puppet to their son. Over time I think Matthias became haunted by the puppet and started hallucinating, believing it to be alive. I think he eventually had a breakdown where the only thing he could do was destroy the puppet, so he burned it.

Unfortunately this resulted in his parents (and potentially audience members) dying as the theatre collapsed. This might be where Matthias got his scars from.

But he didn't stop hallucinating the puppet, it still haunted him.

Might write a better theory when I'm home from school but take this for now.

new friends.
