Identity V | Antiquarian Background Story

Dear Detectives, when facing adversity, what stance will you take? Will you be composed and calm like still water or will you face your fate, with a dragon-like roar? Stand up for the Antiquarian!😌

Idk why everyone is saying “oh finally a survivor who can attack hunters” literally 50% of survivors can do that already

[@eliasgiannakakis6095]

I know right, you can shoot them tackle them, burn them, throw balls at them, curse them and it goes on....

[@honglian4530]

I think they mean directly hitting them, or more like giving them a beating instead of a light stun with a ball, gunshot or curse from a log distance

[@ABC1234DC]

With a stick LOL

[@Bloomix_winx1]

Name 50% of them

[@WendigoX]

@@Bloomix_winx1 Every survivor with a stun ability

[@Gorpheus-identityv1466]

that’s the best background story ever She is the only Character that showed her strength lol

[@Bl3zeGamin]

Most Of Character That Have Strength Such As Forward And Batter Backstory Is Only That They Have A Bad Memory At The Past And, But Antiquarian Not Only Show Her Strength, But Also Fight Some Shadow Hand

[@WendigoX]

She literally cut a dragon in half in the trailer. This is by far the strongest mortal character in the game based on who could take who in a fight. Much better than some other background stories like painters for example

If idv was an anime, Qi would solo 5 hunters at once

If idv hav a Donghua ( chinese anime ) it's possible if they hav a money to milk it from the players xD

[@marcoaledo7379]

The tone is very different to the stories of other characters, it feels more like a skin or a crossover trailer than an actual part of the IDV lore.

[@adefenselessnoob]

True!!! The animation was wonderful, but I wasn’t quite feeling the usual psychological horror vibe. Wonder why she would come to the manor.

[@marcoaledo7379]

@@adefenselessnoob maybe the evils that she mentioned or the way to fight them are related to whatever's in the manor.
Or maybe the reason is something completely different that doesn't have a lot to do with the video

[@Salvatoree25]

Id have reason to believe it includes her familys death. Most of the time survs gonto the manor to find out who killed someone they dearly loved

[@guiscardaddams8745]

[@TheSorrowsz]

I kept on coming back, I think I'm addicted to her background story

[@NotCooLouis]

1:34 girl is gonna deal with wu chang

[@Salvatoree25]

They are in separate matches apparently. So in wi changs match, its perfumer enchantress first officer painter and cowboy. To my knowledge, painter didn’t survive the match. I think cowboy and enchantress survived. First officer may have not survived. Perfumers fate is up in the air atm we should learn more in joses letter if not perfumers. But regardless i dont think wu chang really even interacted in the match but he was just an unbrella in the match. Qi xi is theorized to be in geishas and miles group

[@___Mia____]

​@@Salvatoree25
Spoiler:
Cowboy unfortunately did not survive their game... He protected Enchantress by drinking the poison Perfumer was planning to give her
