Some Future Diaries are more detailed than others when presenting a Dead End, giving warnings about the exact time and means of their user's death. If this message appears, the user is doomed to die unless they can change the future to avert the Dead End depending on the situation, the chances of successfully doing so can vary drastically, although it is usually very difficult. The most common and important of these alerts is the Dead End an entry detailing the user's own demise.The Future Diaries can also present special alerts to their users if a particularly significant event is predicted. For instance, a cellphone-based Diary would have static cover the screen as the entries change, while the written medium Diaries have entries appear to fade away and reappear like drying ink. If a user's future is altered by another person's actions, their Future Diary will automatically adjust its predictions as needed if observed directly, the affected entries will appear or disappear in a manner befitting their medium. First of all, the futures they present are not immutable their users can act on the information presented by their Diaries to defy or avert a predicted event, thereby changing the entries on their Diary to match the new reality. Additionally, it is possible to temporarily transfer ownership of a Future Diary to another person, allowing them to use their diary similarly, stealing another Diary Holder's diary enables the thief to make use of its predictions.ĭespite the differences between the diaries, there are certain common elements between them. Interestingly, a Diary Holder is not necessarily a single person for example, the Seventh candidate was actually two people with complementary Future Diaries. There are initially twelve Diary Holders, all candidates for Deus Ex Machina's Survival Game (Thirteen in the video game, The 13th Diary Holder) however, it is possible to create new Diary Holders by making Apprentice Diaries with the Eighth's Blog Diary. Some Future Diaries also have secondary abilities, such as Twelfth's ability to hypnotize people or Eighth's ability to grant Apprentice Diaries to others.Ī person granted a Future Diary is called a Diary Holder. While each Future Diary has a different means of seeing the future, they always reflect their user in some way their personality, occupation, hobbies, and general outlook. They present their user with predictions of the future seemingly written/recorded as if the user themselves had made the entries each Diary has a different scope, which gives it certain advantages and limitations compared to the rest. The most common form is a cell phone, but some Diaries appear as computers, audio recorders, scrolls, and even coloring books. Eventually, twelve unique Diaries that are given to the participants of Deus's Survival Game are developed.įuture Diaries can take on a variety of forms, but all manifest as an object that can be used to record information about one's surroundings and opinions. Deus and John would continue to refine the concept and incorporate them into Deus's search for a worthy successor. With the former God's supernatural powers and the latter's vast resources and technical knowledge they developed the first Future Diaries, representing different means to see the future and track others of their kind. The Future Diaries were the joint creation of two people: Deus ex Machina, who sought a means to find a successor to his throne as the God of Time and Space, and John Bacchus, who wished to further human evolution.
