Status	Alive

Prominence is an enigmatic entity that appeared within various JanusVR worlds during the Our Horizon Arc. Taking on the appearance of a large, glitchy manta ray, Prominence often simply observes the players quietly while occasionally leading them to new Janus worlds or pages on websites.

Story

Prominence was first discovered on May 5th, 2020 in the Fakeworld Janus room. Here, he hinted towards the existence of a hidden page on Lunarchildren.com before disappearing. Prominence reappeared later that day in the Emerald Prison Janus Room, where he quietly observed the interactions between the players and Dawn. Near the end of this conversation, he hinted towards the existence of a hidden file on Astralobservatory.net before leaving.

Several days later on May 30th, players discovered the Rooftop Janus Room. Upon entering it, they discovered that Prominence was spinning upon one of the roofs. After spinning for a short while, Prominence jumped off the building towards a hidden alcove that contained a portal to the City Janus Room. Prominence later reappeared in the Path Janus Room on June 6th, where he flew around the map before hinting towards and update on the Johnisdaed.com page "key592".

On August 8th, Prominence led players through an updated version of the Spire Janus Room to a previously locked door that now led to the previously undiscovered Upper Janus Room. Later that night, Stackoverflow led the players back into the Spire Janus room where Prominence was once again waiting for them. This time, Prominence led players around to The Spire's basement where there was now a portal to another new Janus room - the Bottom Janus Room.

On October 18th, Prominence met the players in Fakeworld after Dawn had informed them that Stackoverflow was asking for help in Janus. Prominence then led players to the Under Janus Room. This room and various others had been greatly expanded. Prominence accompanied the players and Stackoverflow as they travelled across the various Janus rooms in search of Stackoverflow's brothers, Halicord and Trapped. Prominence did not make another appearance until May 2nd, 2021 when he assisted the players in the Compound Janus Room by directing them towards the paintings in the Fishery's library. These paintings depicted the locations of a translation guide for a language found in several ciphers.

Prominence then reappeared in the Compound Janus Room the next day, where he claimed the location was familiar to him. He then led players to the large ritual hall found in the basement of the Bottom Janus Room before disappearing.

Personality

Though Prominence does not speak much, he appears to be a friendly entity that silently observes the players' actions and occasionally guides them to hidden locations.

Dawn: "Guys be careful. You may become stuck like me. I can't even pass on."
nfreak: "can we get you out at all?"
Dawn: "I don'"
Dawn: "This place was made specifically --- look out."
Dawn: "Those things jailed me here"
nfreak: "stackoverflow and dead?"
Dawn: "The weird blue thing"
nfreak: "nah, son. not going backin there"
Dawn: "The past few...weeks? Months? Have all been a blur"
Dawn: "I'm not sure if you guys can help me. This place was made specifically to trap my soul."
Jos: I dont care send nudes or else"
xenquility: "You would be surprised with what we've destroyed before"
nfreak: "but if we can get in, then there's gotta be a way out?"
Dawn: "If only the glorious helios could reach out to me"
Dawn: "I've tried escape. My soul is just sent back here."
xenquility: "Would a uh... would a spell circle help?"
Dawn: "How would spelling circle help?"
xenquility: "Invoking helios I mean"
xenquility: "For you"
Dawn: "Maybe. The reach of Helios is grand and inescapable. It's possible he may not know his Dawn is here."
stackoverflow: "are you one of us"
Dawn: "He may not even be aware"
Yoshi: "i am not sure"
xenquility: "We will do what we can"
xenquility: "Our world is without order- Law, you could say- without you"
Dawn: "At least I am no longer in pain. That said, it's quite boring here. I'm also unable to spread my glorious light."
nfreak: "i can imagine dude."
Dawn: "It's worrying someone can trap me like this. I can't pass on, therefore the dawn cannot pass to the next in line."
xenquility: "Dawn.. Did you uh, GM the first arc of johnisdead?"
Dawn: "Honestly? I've spent so long in here that I can't remember."
xenquility: "Do you remember TheLaw?"
Dawn: "TheLaw?"
nfreak: "Do you have any idea how you ended up here?"
Dawn: "That weird dude that joined the detectives?"
nfreak: "Why would they want to keep the dawn from passing?"
Dawn: "Maybe they have plans for me. Or maybe they want to lock away the power of Helios."
nfreak: "What is the power of Helios? Is it the power of the sun?"
Dawn: "Or maybe I have some ability that will ruin their plans. I'm unsure."
Dawn: "Sunny D., yes"
Dawn: "That was an oldfag joke -- yes, it's the power of the Sun. The power of my lord Helios."
nfreak: "the people youguys have been up against basically have a moon fetish. maybe they want to keep the sun from rising?"
nfreak: "heh, don't worry Dawn. I figured you were joking."
nfreak: "Well, not rising, but I would assume anyone with a Luna fetish would want to take power away from the sun. My guess anyway."
Dawn: "The sun rising is something inevitable. The sun and moon in constant flux."
stackoverflow: "are you a god?"
Yoshi: "no."
stackoverflow: "then"
Dawn: "But it's possible they do simply wish to deal a blow to Helios"
stackoverflow: "die"
Yoshi: ":("
nfreak: "ha. ghostbusters reference."
Dawn: "Just say yes when he asks if you're a god"
nfreak: "can they hear us?"
stackoverflow: "what are you"
stackoverflow: "you are no god"
Dawn: "They can hear more than you know"
Yoshi: "im an observer"
stackoverflow: "of?"
nfreak: "so they could hear what you just said"
Dawn: "Of course. Just as I can hear you clear as day"
Dawn: "If it were day"
Yoshi: "these places"
stackoverflow: "you know nothing of these places"
dead: "will she come back?"
Yoshi: "thats why i observe, to learn"
