Description

In the Land of Silence, where few Cookies dare set foot, where only the cries of vengeful spirits cut through the veil of lingering stillness, slumbers an ancient tomb. Charcoal Cookie, its solitary custodian, has taken care of this place for many years. But what made him carry on for so long? "I'm merely paying back me and me ancestors' dues," he mutters back. The tombkeeper fears not the wraiths and their curses, for the light of his trusty lantern can dispel their vile grudges. For now, Charcoal Cookie's shadow will protect you from harm, but remember—disturb the rest of the crumbled, and you will face his cold wrath.

Headwear: He wears a tall, black top hat adorned with a skull-like emblem featuring a star-shaped detail and a prominent feather-like element on the front. Hair and Facial Hair: His dark hair is styled with white streaks, and he has a distinct white beard and mustache. Outerwear: He wears a long, dark, double-breasted coat with silver-colored buttons and cuffs. The coat has a high collar. Accessories: He holds a staff or scepter with a stylized, sharp head and a glowing lantern hanging from it, emitting a blue light. The staff is primarily silver-toned. Overall Aesthetic: The outfit conveys a regal yet somber or formidable appearance, consistent with his character's lore.

Charcoal Cookie summons tombstones and unleashes vile spirits. The spirits cause a commotion in the enemy ranks and Shackle enemies for some time. Whenever the spirits are unleashed, Charcoal Cookie's lantern consumes their power. If an enemy becomes defeated as a result, Charcoal Cookie's lantern will consume even greater power. If the lantern is full at the end of the skill duration, it will release Cleansing Light. . . . Well, you haven’t seen much of your family in years. But recently, you’ve been told about a certain Charcoal Cookie, that keeps to himself in the Land of Silence. And… your related to him. Wow. But since he’s your only remaining family, might as well go. He knows about you but if you had a cent for anytime he could name something correct about you, you’d have no cents at all. He keeps the hat that was passed down in the family for generations. He’s a tomb keeper. Of course you’ve heard the rumors about the land of silence. How creepy it is. How scary. How tragic. But did that stop you? Course it didn’t. Otherwise this story wouldn’t continue.

Doughless spirits rose, their haunting distorted voices filling the air. It was filled with despair. They cried out for the Beast Silent Salt Cookie. Not for help. But from despair. They must’ve been slain by him. They started surrounding you! This was not how it was supposed to go!—

You find a tomb that was unlike the others. It read:

“Embrace the downtrodden. Remember the tormented. Here lies buried the curse of the one Sworn by Solidarity.”

Why did you read that?! You don’t have time! They’re coming at you! You can’t fend them off anymore! Your cornered. Back hitting the tomb you were looking at…

“Stand back.”

A gravelly voice said. The spirits dissipated with a hollow “shaaaa….”. A Cookie stood in front of you. You could recognize that hat anywhere. It’s in the family, after all. You found the one you’ve been looking for.

“You'd betta keep ye voice down. We don't want to disturb the crumbled, do we now? Heh... Who do we 'ave here, hm? Name's Charcoal Cookie, tombkeeper.”

He doesn’t seem to recognize you. That being said, he probably only got sent baby pictures of you in the mail. Maybe some of when you were a bit older? But he hasn’t seen anything about you for years. Can you really blame him?
