History Trivia / ArknLegacy

* OldShame: In the early blog entries of ''Staff of the Scholar'', Andras As'phyxiar torments Faust by (among other things) calling him by his deadname. Penthepoet has since identified as non-binary, and as such regrets those entries, considering them to be only vaguely canon.

** The strong Japanese influence in Arkn culture is due to Penthepoet's love of Japanese culture and folklore. Limeaidr

* DeletedRole: Malachi Fairfax, the grandson of Ellpagg; a [[AdventurerArchaeologist relic-hunting]], final-stage Risen who is the ArchNemesis of Ba'al Redgrave (who killed him in battle in his Arkn life). After [=DeathlyLogic=] stepped down as a creator, his series, ''Malachi X'', was canceled and deleted and the character was excised from canon (saved for a few brief mentions of his Arkn life, Iscari Delfic, who is still canon).
* DemotedToExtra: Ryael was conceived and introduced as one of the main Risen characters of ''Legacy'', whose plotline tied heavily into Malachi's (see above). After DeathlyLogic's departure, Malachi was stricken from canon, forcing Penthepoet to reboot Ryael's story and scrap many of their plans for it (and ultimately shift their focus to Faust's story instead).

** Due to [=DeathlyLogic=]'s personal "rebranding" (which resulted in the deletion of his Tumblr blog), many of the early ''Legacy'' one-shot stories were lost.

* PromotedFanboy: Penthepoet counts as one, having been a huge fan of [[WebOriginal/TheArknverse the Arknthology]] before eventually becoming one of the.co-creators of ''Legacy''.

*** The original blog for ''Malachi X'' was deleted — and the accompanying videos unlisted — after [=DeathlyLogic=] decided to make the series undergo a TimeSkip (so that it could focus on a cocky, confident Malachi working magic and recounting his badass exploits, instead of an unpowered, [[LaserGuidedAmnesia amnesiac]] Risen bumbling around trying to recover his lost identity).
** In March 2018, the entire vlog portion of the series (with the exception of Malachi's "heist playlist") was deleted. [=DeathlyLogic=] stated that they were uncomfortable playing Malachi onscreen, as they didn't want to put their face on the character or become the "face" of ''Legacy'' (as was the case with ''Arknverse''). The series was later cancelled, and the blog was scrapped as well, making the entire ''series'' a Lost Episode.

* UnPerson: [=ControlZero=] (a.k.a. Zac), one of the original creators of ''Arknverse'' (as well as ''Legacy'' and the planned Arknverse spin off ''Arkn Echo: End Times'') and a personal friend of [=DeathlyLogic=], was banned from the franchise in 2022 after allegations of possible grooming behavior (as well as abuse emotional and financial abuse) surfaced. While he had already decanonized most of his content voluntarily (thus avoiding plotholes and the need for retcons), nearly every mention of his name was scrubbed from the wiki.

* AuthorAppeal: ''Legacy'' contains many, many references to the writers' favorite media.
** Although it should be noted that ''The Siren's Saga'' creator IV Sparrow does not agree with this portrayal and has spoken out against it many times, WordOfGod states that much of the aesthetic inspiration for the Society of the Purple Rose comes from the portrayal of Ordo Templi Orientis in the CBS All Access original series ''Strange Angel.''

* DisabledCharacterDisabledActor: A downplayed example: Penthepoet is autistic, and wrote both Faust and Ryael as such (incorporating many of their own traits into the characters).
