Acerbics

Acerbics is a less recognized popular myth who has gained occasional attention since his height in activity in 2019 and 2020. He invented his own way of time travel which caused him to join an organization called, “Stone Age”. However, this led him down an evil path for the sake of his family.
==Biography==
Acerbics is a family man who cares deeply for his son, Eornk, as well as his brother, Surpleis. There is another addition to his family that has barely even been mentioned, and that is his wife. Sometime during his adult life, his wife passed away and he began time traveling with his own time machine that he seemingly created. However, he wasn’t the only person to time travel as he ended up joining a group known as “Stone Age”. This is apparently a secret organization that has the power to punish whoever disobeys them, which is probably the reason for some events within Acerbics’ family. 
This was until Acerbics proved he would do absolutely anything for his family, including time traveling to bring back his wife. He was said to be the most malicious of all the members and caused destruction against the world, with an example being creating a wasteland. Other actions following this are unknown and he supposedly died in 470 B.C.
==History==
Acerbics joined Roblox on February 7th, 2019, and created his game on March 17th of the same year. The following month he began joining group Discords so his account would become more known to those who were yet to notice him. The only recorded groups were Robloxian Myth Hunters and Mythsman: Myth Investigation Service, but he later on joined the Bureau of Myths in August 2021. 
Back to 2019, he most likely only had a few interactions with people because he hadn’t become a major myth, but he definitely tried to. Due to rblx.trade, Acerbics created a lot of games for the next eight months after his account creation. These games are now considered to be scrapped, for the most part. A few of these places were for meetups, but they barely gained any visits. An immense amount of these places were made during April, May, and June of 2019.
However, very late into the year, highly notable myth hunters showed they had recognized him, which carried on into the start of 2020, where he was able to obtain a rank in RMH. There were many more hunts on his game and he developed friendships with others in the myth community. Unfortunately, Acerbics either deleted most of his messages within Discord servers or kept most communication private, so his behavior is still rather unknown. 
After these first few months of 2020, Acerbics went into a stage of his myth that he stayed in for the majority of the coming years. He only occasionally, every month or two, logged onto his account to check on the status of it and to update his game. There were still changes and activity with his myth from myth hunters, but nothing notable really came from him. He was considered retired in some form, just not officially. He left his inactive state in February 2021 to spread the word of a revamp to his game. This only gave him so much attention to where he went back to his previous state after two months.
==Appearance==
Acerbics has a fully gray body, with the "Just a Farmer [-]" pants and "Father [+]" shirt. He also wears a "Symbol of thou power" t-shirt and a Plain Leather Military Cap. He probably has a gray tone in reference to ‘Stone Age’.
==Personality and Traits==
Acerbics barely has any documented interactions with hunters but is known to have joined games at certain points and even showed people around his game. He probably likes to stay serious when talking to people but has been described as being spacious around others. Multiple people have said that Acerbics is a great friend, but little of his behavior has been presented. 
Acerbics is highly intelligent because he was able to control and understand a time machine, and most likely has extensive knowledge from different time periods of the world. However, he apparently hides extremely malicious behavior for the sake of his family and constantly worries for his son.
==Games==
===Foederis heu taciti===
Foederis heu taciti is an exploration-based myth game that relies on notes and teleports to tell the story, and also has some mechanics like morse code via audio and collecting items. The name of the game translates to “Alas for the covenant of silence” in Latin. 
Once the player spawns into the game, they appear in a cave-like area. Inside the cave, drawings can be found on the walls as well as small orbs with a symbol on it, looking like the letters “S” and “A” intertwined together. 
Upon further exploration of the cave, a trapdoor and a hallway with two locked doors can be found. The key to those doors can be found on a rock in the spawn hallway. Past the first door, one note can be found on the floor. It reads “I can’t wait for the guest. Hopefully dad doesn’t freak out..”. Above the doorway is another hidden note that contains, “There’s many hidden doors in this cave. My dad still doesn’t want to tell me why he’s doing all of this.” In the second room, two notes can be discovered. One reading “They refer themselves as stone-age, The torture is impecible and soon we all wont be able to take it all” and the other reading “Find the machine and make it out of here.” In the second room, a button can also be found.
When the player clicks the button, the trapdoor opens. In the room under the trapdoor, a lever can be found. Pulling the lever will result in an area of wall near the spawn point to open. A note can be discovered in the newly opened room that reads “I don’t have eyes, but once I did. Once I had thoughts, but now I’m gray and empty.” A strange object can also be found in the room, likely a time machine of some sort. Stepping in it teleports the player to a new game labeled “Souless absence..”. 
The player spawns in a desert-like place with practically nothing in sight. Upon exploring for a bit, a house can be found; however, the door is locked. Outside the house, a note can be found reading “Keep exploring, i hid notes around this old place. Look for them, don’t tell anyone you saw this.” After the player looks around the spawn, a strange looking machine can be found half buried in the sand. A note is in front of it, reading “Acerbics joined a organization of ‘Time Travelers’. Who ever disobeyed had a horrible punishment..”. 
A key to the house can be found in the barren area. In the house are two notes and a telephone. The two notes read “This will never stop until I get her back..” and “Things aren’t the same anymore. I hate being alone. I wish I had a normal life. -Eornk.” If the player clicks the telephone, a message in morse code will play, translating to “ACERBICS IS THE MOST MALICIOUS OF THEM ALL DON'T LET HIM FOOL YOU.”
If wanted, the player can continue searching the rest of the wasteland. They can begin near the spawn area again where they can maneuver to the top of a rock with another note: “Acerbics has a complicated mind. He will do anything.. ANYTHING.. for his loved ones.” Next, they head over the arch in the distance and reach the edge of the map. They can follow the right of it across the map until they find a hidden cavern with a small shack inside. A figurine of a dark figure with multiple arms is placed on a shelf and another note reads, “Acerbics’ son “Eornk” is a mystery. Acerbics never lets Eornk out of his sight. I’m not sure why..” This is thought to be everything inside of “Foederis heu taciti”.
==Group==
===ǝƃɐ ǝuoʇs===
Stone Age is the Roblox Group that represents and holds the four myths within Acerbics’ myth including him. Although the group has its own game, it is seemingly a support group with barely any communication between hunters and the myth. “Stone Age” also plays a role within the story as an expansive organization of time travelers that the family joined.
==Relationships==
===Surpleis===
Surpleis is Acerbics’ brother and a newspaper guy. He has his own game, Saarbrücken, Germany 1997, that contains his family home and the secrets to it. It is hunted occasionally but Surpleis does not log into his account much anymore. As for the brothers' relationship, they both like to spend lots of time with each other but that is all the detail known. 
===Eornk===
Eornk is known to be Acerbics’ son. He has only had one game that is public now but was private for an extended period of time. It was expected to reopen soon after Acerbics’ revamp to his game, but it didn’t and Eornk went inactive until November 2022. He seems to have been the author of some notes in Acerbics’ game and may also be highly intelligent. Acerbics believes his son has high-potential and therefore constantly cares for his protection. 
===StoneAgeIV===
StoneAgeIV is ranked “strange” in Acerbics’ group. He also has a game, %*Portals!, which contains teleports to all games related to Acerbics. They appear to just be an extra member and not have much of a role in the story.
==Theories==
*Acerbics had to go through a process that turned him into an emotionless person after disobeying ‘Stone Age’.
**Within ‘Foederis heu taciti’, there are notes about an impeccable torture relating to “Stone Age”, and how the author had thoughts before, but is now just “gray and empty”.
***This was most likely written by some prisoner of the cave at the time instead of Acerbics.
**In multiple family photos that Acerbics appears in, he has a large smile on his face. However, now he just has a regular happy face.
***Within the basement of the house that seems to be for the ‘Stone Age’ group, people can be seen imprisoned behind glass walls. Despite all of them being trapped here for what appears to be months because of the tallies on the wall, they all still have happy faces. The same happy face as Acerbics and Surpleis.
**Alternatively, Acerbics had to go through this same process as an initiation into the group rather than a punishment.
*Time traveling hasn’t been experimented with enough and actually has effects on those who use it. 
**There does seem to be problems with the mechanics of the time machine since the player was taken to some wasteland rather than somewhere else in Acerbics’ game.
**Possibly, the mental state of Acerbics and Eornk gradually declined after using the time machine so much. Acerbics seemingly went insane with madness in the future, and Eornk became depressed.
***There are multiple notes within the wasteland of Acerbics’ game about how he would do “anything” for his family and that he is “the most malicious of them all”.
***In the family photo of the trio in Surpleis’ game, Eornk is noticeably sad compared to the other two. He can also be seen standing in front of a dead body in the sewer of the game, where he again looks sad.
==Trivia==
*In 2020, Acerbics occasionally hosted hunts in Robloxian Myth Hunters with them typically being on a smaller myth, BankerTale.
*He is featured in the ‘Myths Of ROBLOX’ museum owned by jhettoaoaoao.
*Acerbics has many popular myths like EmmettCult, Zergred, Ozslum, and Mopherius friended, as well as myth hunters like Exedious.
