It is unknown how they were originally found but they continue to accumulate visits with their place. ==Biography== It is difficult to get an exact biography in relation to LainStream as there is nothing concrete on the myth. The most authentic piece of information we can gather is merely the description, stating "Runaway". There are a couple of theories that can be made from the game and its contents however. ==History== LainStream's account was made on the 6th of January, 2019, and his game was made on the same day. The last time it was updated was only three days later, the 9th of January. Since its last update, the myth has not been active whatsoever. The game's gradual rise in visits over the years can be traced back to its addition to RMH's [[Myth Places to Investigate]] at some point during 2019. However, how the game was originally found is a mystery, with the earliest mention of it in RMH being on the 14th of June, 2019, a whole 6 months after its creation. Eventually, the [[Roblox's Myths Intelligence Agency]] had agent [https://www.roblox.com/users/594761377/profile Roaring_Red] generate a short investigation report about LainStream on August 21st, 2021. ==Appearance== LainStream's sole item of clothing is the "[https://www.roblox.com/catalog/3245073673/TREE TREE]" t-shirt that they wear. Along with this, they have a Bright Violet torso, Medium Green legs, Light Blue arms and a Pastel Light Blue head. ==Personality and Traits== LainStream has not been seen interacting with anyone before and likely never will. Due to this, any identifying personality the myth may have will remain unknown. ==Game== === [https://www.roblox.com/games/3245119251/Lain-Stream Lain Stream] === Lain Stream is a relatively large, purple island in the middle of a dark ocean. Dotted atop the island are several ruined structures, pink trees and rocks with a few outstanding objects found around the island. These objects include a half-buried statue of what seems to be a king wielding a sword. The statue has a decal on its face called "[https://www.roblox.com/library/3777394472/EYE-OF-CAESAR EYE OF CAESAR]". There is also a distorted version of the Mona Lisa inside the remnants of a ruined house. The decal is titled "[https://www.roblox.com/library/3245035408/MONA MONA]". There are two more outstanding articles here, a doll with sown-shut eyes and an analogue clock with only eight points rather than the typical twelve. Although more concealed than the other abnormalities of the island, it is also surrounded by the silhouettes of other ROBLOXians who just ominously float in the same spot. There is no known progression method in Lain Stream, therefore a walkthrough cannot be provided. ==Theories== *'''This is a village taken by the concept of death and placed into an isolated space.''' **In several depictions, places such as the River Styx can be seen in purple, suggesting that it is a colour somewhat associated with death and the afterlife. ***"Lain Stream" in Indonesian means "Another Stream" and, as the player finds themselves on an island in the middle of a dark and gloomy ocean, "Another" could easily suggest someplace such as the underworld. **The ruins dotted around the area possess items that could've once been held by normal people, such as the doll and the Mona Lisa, but have since been distorted due to the change in reality. **The statue of the king-like figure could be quite literal as it could just be a statue. Not only this, it's found in one of the larger ruins on the island, suggesting it may have had a place within regardless. **The stopped clock, plus the fact that it has eight points, could suggest an alternate world. Both as time has stopped flowing and that the clock has transfigured into a more abstracted version of a typical clock. **The two boats could suggest something akin to Charon, the ferryman of Hades, lives in this murky world too. ***Alternatively, we could be a resident of this world, simply exploring the remains of what once was in the world above. ** *'''LainStream is an abused or traumatised child who uses a vivid imagination to escape from his own reality temporarily.''' **There are several factors that contribute to this place being of an alternate reality of sorts. ***The Mona Lisa's distortion and the eight-pointed clock are two potentials, along with the whole island being, unnaturally, purple. **The colour of purple represents creativity and magic, traits typically found in and believed by children respectively. ***Further contributing to the child theory, a doll is present behind one of the ruins. **Rather than being a happy alternate landscape, it is in ruins due to a wrecked mental state. **The figures around the islands could represent people attempting to "break in" to the imaginary island to disturb LainStream more. *'''LainStream is an escaped cult member, escaping to a remote island.''' **The description of the game would suggest that someone, at some point, has become a runaway from somewhere or something. **The silhouettes present around the island could be interpreted as the manifestation of other cult member's presences, due to the rule of being unable to leave a cult without repercussions typically. **The rowing boat present at the side of the island would be LainStream's, the boat in the distance could be another member he fought and killed along the way. ==Trivia== *"Lain Stream" in Malay apparently means "Another Stream". *LainStream's "TREE" t-shirt is a picture of one of the trees in his game. *LainStream's very first follower was a user by the name of Kallexs. *Along with being the first mention in RMH, the 14th of June is also the date the first comment was posted on the "TREE" t-shirt. ==Gallery== RobloxScreenShot20201017 001627814.png|A screenshot of his game File:LainstreamS.png|Silhouettes surrounding the island.
