WaningLucidity

WaningLucidity is a Small Myth known for its complexity and difficult games. He is a font designer who has become unhealthily obsessed with his work, and after finding out about his work being stolen, he is brought to commit acts influenced by revenge. He has received numerous accolades throughout his myth career, including one Myth Community Banquet award and three RMD awards.
==Biography ==
WaningLucidity was a supposed font designer who took part in creating the Lucida Family of fonts while working under Charles Bigelow and Kris Holmes. For an unknown reason, Waning had been fired from the company where he ended up living inside of a clock tower. Later on, after slowly developing schizophrenia and an obsession with his work, he learns he was replaced and his work was stolen. A man named Hermann Zapf was the one running everything and had apparently been the mentor for Bigelow when influencing him into using Waning's work and successfully creating their "own" products.
This drove Waning to want to seek revenge against Hermann, so he went out into the woods and found his home. Unfortunate for Hermann, he was caught in his sleep so Waning pulled a pillow over his head and ended his life. This act was not done in secret though, and the police were contacted resulting in Waning eventually being caught running down the side of the road. His time in prison was short-lived, as he soon looked to suicide as an escape. 
==History==
WaningLucidity created their account on January 3rd, 2021, and By The Hour was made the same day. He gained a decent amount of popularity throughout the first couple of months of existing from participating in groups such as Robloxian Myth Hunters, Mythsman: Myth Investigation Service, RMH Myth Development, and more. This would lead to multiple nominations in some myth ceremonies and hunts from small groups. He then created another game named Splayed, on 4/29/2021.
On March 27th, 2022, Waning released the revamp of By The Hour and began changing multiple things across his account. This included the removal of Splayed. This was a four-month process because of By The Hour, and it resulted in lots of attraction from hunters when it was released. 
==Appearance==
WaningLucidity wears the "Black Messy Wavy Hair", the "[Kingsman] Jack Top" shirt, the "[Kingsman] Jack Bottom" pants, a "Black Brim Beret", and the "Smile" face.
==Personality and Traits==
Waning is neutral most of the time, not showing emotions. He tends to speak nonsense from time to time, spewing and garbling random words. He seems to cherish his materialistic possessions quite a lot, being protective over his record player. Waning acts paranoid around others, and often refers to something as if it's there, it is unknown what this something is, but it seems to be influencing him, telling him what and what not to do, making it seem like he is mentally ill. Waning is not in character on Discord.
==Games==
===By The Hour===
Main Article: By The Hour
By The Hour starts within the head of a clocktower when Waning has seemingly enclosed himself from the rest of the world. Unique gameplay mechanics and interesting storytelling is presented throughout the entirety of the game, with some of them relating to real-life people. This game is known by hunters for its difficulty in progression. 
===Splayed===
Splayed is a previously used game by WaningLucidity that has since been made private and discontinued due to the revamp of By The Hour. Splayed showcased an apartment-like place where the player had to progress using codes. It shared many similar aspects to the old version of By The Hour, such as bright lights, loud music, and many teleports. 
==Groups==
===prefrontal embrace===
Prefrontal embrace was originally a group used for donations and distributing Robux to other accounts or users, hence its previous name; "Paying Alts and Such". After the revamp of WaningLucidity's game in 2022, the group also got updated to be more of a support group for the myth. There is seemingly not much else to this group, but it is slowly gaining members. 
===קְבוּצָה===
This group just seems to be named "Group" in Hebrew, and only contains four members. The group is owned by HourgIas and it is completely unknown what the purpose of the group is. It only has four members due to it being private and composed of four myths, including WaniningLucidity. It is possible that it is some sort of collaboration group, but again, not much information about it has been given out. 
==Theories==
*WaningLucidity suffers from schizophrenia.
**Schizophrenia was mentioned in the previous version of By The Hour, and most of the games were completely chaotic.
**Waning has had breakdowns while being questioned about some events.
**The current sub-places in By The Hour have different styles to them, possibly relating to his mental illness. The first code "17.417" also relates to the illness. 
*Waning was fired from his job because he began growing insane while still working. 
**One of the sub-places takes place in what appears to be a memory of a break room at his work. This memory isn't completely normal though, as the room floods with water and loud noise is made in the background. After unlocking a door, the player can fall into a garbage pit where more information can be found.
==Trivia==
*WaningLucidity won first place for the "Best Puzzles / Ways to Progress" category in 2021 RMH Myth Development Myth Awards.
*Waning owns a Discord Server for his followers where updates to his game are shared.
*His games have been fully explored by only a handful of people throughout both versions.
