Remnance

**Remnance** is a unique spin on the idea of Five Nights at Freddy's concept of the Remnant. In the main continuity, Remnance is phenomenon when a soul infused with an inanimate object, but in the Abatman Continuity, Remnance is a phenomenon when a soul is infused into anything, particularly in things where the soul did not originate in and is likely a study of this fanfiction's form of alchemy. Remnance is stated by Dipper Pines as a "way of defeating death", thus making it the opposite of fate itself.

Remnance is revealed to have been ongoing ever since the introduction of Miguel JoJo way back in Part 3 of the Made in Heaven Saga, Remnance had already been an occurrence since way before and had only been named very recently.

Remnance is not only a phenomenon, but also the very idea of memory itself.

## Origin

Remnance was first discovered by Wizardi Alchemists who had been studying what life is. It was discovered via the usage of a long manuscript known as the SAVE File Prayer. The SAVE File Prayer was originally called "Hymnus Salutis" which meant "Prayer of Salvation". This was designed to offer one immortality by creating a location known as the Hyperbolic Time Room within the Central Time Room. This person would then be unable to die and as a result would achieve immortality.

Remnance was later rediscovered by the Grimm known as William Wittebane in the 19th Century when studying the Locacaca Fruit, which was known to sacrifice something from someone. Doing so would cause a soul to be combined into something or someone else. He developed a machine that could replicate this, which is the Soul Remote.

Many years later, William Afton, a serial killer in Utah and the former co-head of Fredbear's Family Diner and its Sister Location would become invested in his studies after discovering his journal. It was many years later where the journal would end up in Gravity Falls on Earth-GF-137, hidden by Markipllier in the orders of Miguel JoJo. Afton would go on to experiment on Remnance, and so did Arthur JoJo, who gains it later on shortly after his death through Multiversal travel with the help of Rick.

## SAVE File Prayer

The SAVE File Prayer, or Hymnus Salutis, is a magical manuscript that needs to be recited in order to manipulate determination and thus, stay living even after death. The Prayer requires much determination in order to function. However, when you say one phrase in the manuscript, you are able to unlock the power of the SAVE File Prayer. All you have to say is, "In the fate of one's blood, in the memory of one's blood" and you will unlock the SAVE File Prayer. The most potent one is the Japanese version of this prayer, "Sono chi no sadame, sono chi no kioku, JoJo." This was spoken by an ancient Japanese Wizard named "Kujo."

However, there is a way to reverse the prayer, with the simple phrase: "Heaven's falling down to the stone ocean." Only a Grimm would be able to perform this.

## Agony

Agony is the opposite of Remnant. It is a powerful emotion that gives objects life and sentience. It is known to be used to create other animatronics. In this series, Agony seems to be something most of the haunted animatronics possess. It's a powerful and dangerous emotion that can be expressed through pain and suffering. It is the direct opposite of Remnant. Remnant exists from happiness and joy while Agony exists from pain and suffering.

## Creation

A soul needs at least one of these three things to be affected by Remnance:

1. Through consumption of the Locacaca Fruit.
2. Through endless amount of Resolve or Determination.
3. Through the mysterious event of Equivalent Exchange.

Each of these things require some sort of sacrifice in order to attach a soul to one's body or object.

## Remnant (Metallic Substance)

The metallic substance found in the Remnant is also called the Remnant. The reason for this is because the metal *is* the phenomenon, and when an object gains it, the object officially becomes a Remnant. This substance was weaponized by Afton in order to find the truth of immortality itself.

## Types of Remnants According to Emotion

### Remnant

Remnants, or the Common Remnants, are the common Remnants who become alive and sentient through the positive power of memory, love, happiness, determination, and most importantly, sentimentality.

### Agonized Remnant

Agonized Remnants are Remnants who become alive and sentient through pain, grief, anger, malice, suffering, nihilism, and the need for vengeance.

## Types of Remnants According to Form

### Non-Biological Remnants

Non-Biological Remnants occurs when Souls attach themselves to inanimate objects, allowing the Remnant to not succumb to their inevitable deaths. Non-Biological Remnants are objects that essentially become alive due to this. Objects with Remnance are known to have a spiritual yet metallic substance in them that exists because of the possession. These Remnants are incredibly dangerous due to the unequivocal danger that may come due to the unpredictable personality of this newly-created Remnant. This is because the Remnant's personality depends upon their death and how they died.

### Biological Remnants

Biological Remnants are far more dangerous then Non-Biological ones. Biological Remnants are also known as "Fusions". Biological Remnants is a body that already has a soul, however, due to the laws of Equivalent Exchange and Resolve, a Soul ends up possessing the body as well. This gives the user mental disorders such as amnesia or dissociative identities, creating a hostile environment of both souls inside the body of one person. Biological Remnants are usually the result of experimentation, eating of the Locacaca Fruit, or mysterious events related to resolve. These Remnants also gain that metallic substance that allows for the creation of Remnants.

### Undead Remnants

Undead Remnants are Remnants who are already dead, but the soul remains within the corpses. This is a case of Zombification and is related to Z-Virus. Undead Remnants are people who are said to have truly conquered death itself but have not achieved full-on immortality, but rather, are simply semi-immortal. Undead Remnants are mere corpses with one soul or even more, in some cases, remaining in them, and once their bodies are destroyed, they die with the body. Undead Remnants also have the metallic substance

### Time Remnants

Time Remnants are Remnants that are similar but not exactly the same as to the idea of variants. According to MatPat, Time Remnants occur when two similar bodies share the same memories after a Probability Storm. Time Remnants are usually soulless and are mere extensions of the original's soul. However, Time Remnants carry Remnance, as when the original dies, the original's soul shatters and the original's Time Remnants gain souls themselves, creating a Savitar Paradox.

## THE SOUL

The Soul is the antithesis to the Anti-Life Equation. It is the primary argument against death itself.

The Soul is essentially life and memory. The Soul is essentially the person's truth and the answer to all life itself. It is powered by resolve and determination and thus allows life to survive what you cannot. The Soul is essentially powered by Remnance. It is explained by the Life Equation. The Soul is essentially a creation by the being known as God and had powered all living things. Without it, a living thing wouldn't be alive, in a sense. Living things are not biological. Living things are things born with souls. Souls can be created simply through the powers of emotions.

## Link to Calamity

While Remnance is the opposite of fate, it is also an argument against the concept of Calamity itself. Remnance is proof of the idea of faith and hope. Faith and hope powers Remnance as Calamity powers fate.

## Link to Multiversal Travel

William Wittebane had also been studying Multiversal Travel through Remnance. It is revealed that Remnants are Schrodinger's cats and are both dead and alive.

## Trivia

* Remnance was first introduced way back in the 3rd Part (The Crusade of the Reaper). However, its name was first stated in the final Arc of Weather Report Grimm.
* Remnance is observed to have been a massive part of the entire series the entire time and is actually a driving factor for many characters who had somehow survived their fates Remnance is essentially the refusal to die through resolve.
