They are the answer.— idielao
Idielao is a highly rational water being. One of its main goals is to figure out the answer for the question “Is this ASH, or is this SNOW?” even after being told that question is something they should never know the answer to. There's no trustworthy source of proof, but it's strongly believed among myth hunters that the “this” in the question is referring to Idielao themselves. Their games are the representation of Idielao’s actions & path towards answering this question, describing their personal experiences through texts and visual effects.
Biography
Origins
Idielao is a water being, as mentioned inside their experiences using the term “auga” (“Water” translation, from Galician) and they believe their body’s composition is based on two possible distinguished components: Ash or Snow. The same question “Is this ASH, or is this SNOW?” is asked throughout their games, and to get a proper answer, they decide to follow a path that offers certain dangers with the intention of discovering what he is.
Snow Path
First, they head up to what is known by the community as the “Snow Faction” to perform their personal experiences in the cold region. They ask the Snow Leader if they are ash or snow, without getting any apparent answers. When arriving at the Snow Faction, the following phrases are pronounced: “This feeling of coldness is so familiar to us now…” & “The snow’s frozen touching on our skin is nothing new…" It is unknown if it is Idielao that says that or the Snow Population considering the phrases are said in the middle of snow citizens.
Ash Path
Then, Idielao goes to what is known by the Community as “Ash Faction'' for the same Snow Path’s reason, but when they get there, they let the following words out: “The heat is unbearable…” & “The tender touch of a flame burns through thin skin…”. After entering what seems to be an Ash Palace with traces of civilization inside it, including recent infrastructure & working lights; they still don’t manage to find anyone from the Ash Faction. They decide to begin their research more in depth inside the Ash Palace itself, making notes on giant rolls of paper and performing experiments with the Snow People’s heads, which can be found inside capsules in the room where Idielao made their research.
It’s not known if they managed to get the answer for their question “Is it ASH, or is it SNOW?”, and probably that information will never be obtained due to Idielao’s retirement as a myth.
History
Idielao’s account was created back in December 5th, 2018. The same day, they created their main game, "A S H . S N O W" that has accumulated thousands of visits. They have not been online since July 23rd, 2020.
Eight days after their account creation, on December 13nd, 2018; they created their second experience named “S N O W .” that was made to represent their Snow Path. Three days after the “S N O W .” experience creation, on December 16th, 2018; they made its counterpart: the “A S H .” experience, which was used to represent Idielao’s Ash Path.
They quickly stood out inside the Myth Community, but mainly at the Mythsman: Myth Investigation Service hunting organization, a group of myth hunters in which he remained with the title of myth; never joining other myth hunting groups except 'lego spooks', presenting loyalty signs to the organization. Idielao officially announced their retirement on October 2nd, 2020; exactly 1 year, 9 months & 26 days after their account creation.
Appearance
Idielao wears the “MARBLE_TEXTURE_SHIRT” and “MARBLE_TEXTURE_PANTS” as their clothes, as well as the “Mysterious” Face & the “Frightful Crown of The Black Knight." They have a dark gray skin tone for all their body parts.
Personality and Traits
Idielao uses a philosophical extended vocabulary, talking in a greatly detailed way, even when talking about the most minor things. They never use capitalization but do follow other grammar conventions.. They also swap out nouns for their translations in various other languages and dialects. An example of this resides in their game “A S H . S N O W”, when it is said “Oh dearest vinur, we would say…” in which the term “vinur” means “friend” in Icelandic.
Sometimes, it can be noticed from their speeches that they frequently talk about “they”, which, unfortunately it can be only theorized who "they" are following their retirement as a myth. In general, Idielao is a mysterious & enigmatic individual, but they act friendly.
Game
ＡＳＨ . ＳＮＯＷ
Main article: A S H . S N O W
ASH.SNOW is a game that goes through Idielao's experiences based on a few backstory scenarios, so that the player would have a better overview of their universe while more details and hints about the story are shown through texts around the game's structure, and also at the middle of the player's screen; most likely backstory's dialogues or narrator's information.
Relationships
THEY
Idielao’s undefined conception of “they” is constantly repeated throughout their ROBLOX experiences, being mentioned in sentences that tell the player(s) “they” is/are always watching and also that “they” can’t enter “A S H .”, but is/are the reason for the frigid nature in “S N O W .”
Theories
- The society that Idielao lived in prevented him from getting the answer to his question “Is this ash, or is this snow?”.
- In the game “A S H . S N O W ." the introduction monologue says “yes, that question’s answer… you should never know.”.
- Idielao sought the answer to his question from many other people outside of his society, such as the apparent Snow King.
- Idielao is the “this” in the question “is this ash, or is this snow?”.
- Water is in between ash and snow, meaning that the question could be Idielao trying to find which faction he belongs to, ash, or snow since he is in between both of these factions.
- Idielao was referred to as an “auga”, which translates to water.
Trivia
- Idielao never had a known social media account or their myth’s presence outside of ROBLOX (Discord, Twitter and YouTube are examples).
- The languages spoken inside their “Myth’s Universe” are English, Galician (“Auga”) & Icelandic (“Vinur”).
- Idielao was never a social myth & individual, yet, because of their fame, they managed to friend myths like eeliot, Mopherius, ToastedBlues, etc…
- Although there is no confirmation of a significant friendship bond between any of their ROBLOX’s friends and Idielao.
