Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
What happens to the Alternate History? Without Stocke, the Ritual can't be completed there.
I just assumed that the AH collapsed into the Standard / True History. Stocke threaded between the two timelines enough that they might have just merged somehow. Or, you know, everyone in the AH eventually died after the desertification enveloped Vainqueur. But that would be sort of depressing, you know?
Open the White Chronicle before you fight the final boss. Notice how the timeline you're in is in the middle? It can be said that Stocke had indeed threaded the Standard and Alternate histories together, creating the True Timeline mentioned oh-so-long ago.
Red Oni isn't always indicative of personality; it can just as easily refer to behavior, especially compared to the likes of Eruca and Raul. Stocke's actions (jumping headfirst into danger, quicker to go with his gut, etc.) suffice to characterize him as the Red Oni in most comparisons, while his initially cold and withdrawn personality characterized him as a Stoic. It's actually quite possible for a Red Oni to also be The Stoic or for a Blue Oni to be Hot-Blooded (though the latter would be more difficult to successfully pull off).
