So, I was trying to come up with some ideas on how to do Black Parade bots. It looks like I am gonna have to take some creative liberties SO until they give me the ability to use lorebooks (which I'm so looking forward to), this post is gonna serve as like a reference, Noona's personal Black Parade lorebook. I dont like making my definitions public, so this is just gonna give yall the setting and what's goin' down as far as like... what convoluted shit your favorite Noona came up with this time.

'Kay?

'Kay.

Setting

Since there isn't a lot of lore specifically on the Black Parade itself, I decided to kinda make my own little mix of lore, combining the current tour Long Live the Black Parade, which I have only gathered bits and pieces of, but Noona has put some puzzle pieces together— and the fanfiction The Fall and Rise of the Black Parade

So, basically, in order to get to where we're going, we gotta die, right? Right, but instead of going to Purgatory as Catholics know it, your gorgeous ass, as User, gets isekai'd into another dimension. How you die will be up to you, as always, but it can be an accident (car wreck, natural disaster, etc.), , homicide, illness, whatever your precious little heart desires.

You're gonna wake up in Draag. Draag and Purgatory are essentially same same. The peoole in Draag don't know about other universes. Very select few people who die get the cosmic yeet there. Most people in Draag were born there. It's dystopian. Everything's gray. Everyone looks like they've seen some shit. You will get dropped if you speak out against the government. Think like... WWII Russia, except there's no one coming to save you.

The buildings all look the same. Gray concrete. The only building that doesn't is the massive government building smack in the middle of everything. It's huge. It's heavily architectured. Think Cologne Cathedral, but supersized. It's big. The inside of it is dark oak, expensive rugs, and very like... almost Victorian era. The streets are constantly littered with homeless people, wanted posters, soldiers, and questionable bones.

At the times of 12 AM, 6 AM, 12 PM, and 6 PM, sirens sound and bombs are dropped. Or at least it sounds like bombs are being dropped. No one will really talk about it. Most of the common people are speaking a language (Keposhka, but for the sake of AI, just pretend its Russian) you can't understand anyway.

The only things really available to eat and drink are fish, bread, vodka, and whiskey. The most abundant thing is wheat. Anything thats not aforementioned is only available to those in high ranking government or military positions (beef, chicken, clean water, vegetables, milk, you get the idea).

The national anthem, "Over Fields", is played after bombs are dropped. Military guards are everywhere. Oh, and there's public executions. Firing squads are typically reserved for the rebel alliances Yay! Anywhere from being electrocuted, firing squad, to the good ole guillotine. The Grand Immortal Dictator can literally have you publicly executed for anything. If he doesnt like the way you breath? Off with your head, pooks. Don't worry! You get resurrected. However, everytime you're resurrected, you forget more and more of how you ended up in Draag. Eventually, after about 5-10 resurrections, you're essentially brainwashed and you kind of acclimate with the nation of Draag.

The MOAT. Where people go to be silenced. At least until the Grand Immortal — I mean, Dictator says otherwise. It's a body of water surrounding Draag. You can't see the bottom. The water almost looks black. The fish that come out of there just look... wrong. The fish also look like they've seen some shit.

Draag is seemingly always at war. With who, no one can really tell you. It's mostly civil war, though. Rebel scum.

You still with me, pookie?

Good, cause I ain't done.

VIPs of Draag

• Grand Immortal Dictator— hes a , as you can imagine. No one really knows who he is, how old he is, or how the he's managed to keep from being overthrown. Just know he's got his eyes on you, you outlandish variable he didn't plan for. He's a soul sucking bastard and he already doesn't like you.

• Ministry of Complementary Conditioning – constantly keeping people compliant. Always coming uo with new ways to condition people to stay that way. They're watching.

• Ministry of Menial Tasks – basically just a bunch of people that supply food, keep the streets clean (which seems damn near impossible), and setting up for some bullshit propaganda stunt to keep people in line.

• ꓘCR – so here's where its gets a lil bit tricky. The Draag Parade is a band controlled by the government. 17 years ago, they were part of the rebels. The Dictator sent their asses to the MOAT. Allegedy. He really just cloned them and attempted to get rid of their originals, who originally led the Black Parade. General Way, Colonel Way, Major Iero and Major Toro.

• The Black Parade – the originals were never gotten rid of. These guys also got the cosmic yeet into Draag long before you, cutie pie. They live in hiding now, waiting for you. You? Yeah, you, bitch. They lead the army of the broken, beaten, and damned. The rebels. The people who, by some stroke of luck, can't be conditioned by Draag. They evaded being executed and resurrected. They hide on the outskirts of Draag and are protected by Mother War, Sister Regret, and Sister Fear. Because they aren't originally from Draag, ya silly goose. Gerard, Frank, Mikey, and Ray will be able to tell you everything.

• User - You're the savior of the broken, beaten, and damned, babes! Remember when your dad took you to the city to see that marching band? What that entails is up to you. (Overthrow the Immortal ) Get to the outskirts, find the bar called The House of Wolves. That's where you'll find the original Black Parade. Essentially, you could be like a celestial being, or like a fixed being in the space-time continuum, or just a bad bitch that has a particular talent for overthrowing governments. All of that is up to you. But you is the savior.

That's basically it. I plan to make the original Black Parade boyos. If yall want the brainwashed, government version as like an alternate route, I can do that! I think it would be fun.

If there's anything I should add, leave a comment.
