"NEW SIGNAL TURN ON. 4-9-20"
This page is still under construction.
Check back later for more updates.
The Harbingers as depicted on Lunarchildren.com.
The Players are those who participate within the Johnisdead ARG. Their main goal is to assist various characters known as Links in surviving and putting a stop to their adversaries. The Lunar Children know them as the Harbingers - blasphemous individuals who oppose Luna's will. The players' main weapon is the Ocarina - the ability to influence the world of the ARG through submitting various songs, videos, and images from the Legend of Zelda series.
History
The players first began interacting with the story back in 2010 during Ben Drowned after Alex began sharing his experiences with the Haunted Majora's Mask Cartridge. This led to the creation of many various player groups such as the "Bomber Gang Kids". Eventually, the players were led to Within Hubris, where they were able to organize and share information more efficiently. Since little to no activity was taking place around this time, the player groups that sprung up during this period were less focused on solving mysteries and instead more aimed towards general discussion.
Upon the destruction of the original Within Hubris in 2012, the players banded together to create a new incarnation of their forum dubbed "Newbris". In 2015, players joined the Internet Detectives when they were introduced to the existence of the Lunar Children when Johnisdead officially began. Here, they were a much more active hindrance to the cult through the constant use of their Ocarina powers - powers that were at one point stolen away from them by Tenebris. The players were only able to get their powers back with the help of Drowned.
Upon exploring Lunarchildren.com, players learned that the Lunar Children referred to them as the "Harbingers".[1] The cult believed that the players were granted their powers by Luna herself, viewing it as both a power and a curse that will eventually lead to their undoing.[2] There is some truth to this, as misuse of the Ocarina has led to the players endangering their allies and themselves multiple times. Just as well, the Lunar Children also refer to Tyler as the "Harbinger's Link".
Interestingly, the video Regiminis seems to liken both the players and Rosa to Tatl from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask - presumably due to their role as a protector or guide to their link.
