Mr. Society

I, Mr. Society, am far too intelligent to ever bow down to such a tyrant!

Mr. Society, Chapter 1

Mr. Society (JP: ミスター・ソーシャル Mr. Social) is a Darkner in Deltarune. He can first be encountered at the Great Board in Card Kingdom and is based on the bishop chess piece.

Profile

Appearance

Mr. Society resembles the white bishop piece from chess. His head is a diamond-like shape, and appears to have no facial features. He wears what seems to be an unusual looking ruff, with no other clothing on him. His posture is perpetually in a very arrogant looking Z pose.

Personality

Mr. Society likes to brag about his intelligence, but is actually very timid. He is particularly afraid of King. He is shown, and even stated by himself, to be a very cowardly man, who is unable to handle society.

Mr. Society appears to be friends with Mr. Elegance, with the two often appearing together.

Etymology

Much like Mr. Elegance, Mr. Society's name appears to be an oxymoron, as he states he is afraid of society.

His Japanese name is instead 「ミスター・ソーシャル」 (Misutā Sōsharu, "Mr. Social"), possibly due to "social" being an English word more likely to be known by Japanese readers.

Main story

Chapter 1

Mr. Society is first met at the Great Board. He explains that Ponmen have no choice but to obey the King's will, whereas he and Mr. Elegance do not due to their intelligence. However, he also notes that he would likely obey the King anyway out of fear.

Mr. Elegance can be found next to the shortcut door in Forest, where he mentions that he fixed the shortcut door with Mr. Society, as well as Jigsaw Joe if the party interacted with him. However, Mr. Society remains at the Great Board, where he says that Mr. Elegance had to run off on some kind of errand, then noncommittally denies being involved in repairing the shortcut door.

In the Chapter 1 epilogue, if the party did not win any battles through violence, Mr. Society is among the NPCs celebrating at Card Castle. He congratulates the party for overthrowing the "tyrant" and says that he is willing to accept credit for helping, but then backtracks and says that if King returns then he was not involved.

Chapter 2

After Kris brings the Card Kingdom Darkners to Castle Town, Mr. Society can be found next to the cliff to the west of town. When talked to, he admits he is still too afraid to integrate into the Castle Town society, so he flies up the cliff, pledging that he will live atop the cliff until he has the courage to return to society. If the party talks to Mr. Elegance afterwards, he reassures the party that it is not their fault that Mr. Society left, and that he will return one day.

Chapter 4

Mr. Society is absent from Castle Town, presumably still living atop the cliff. Mr. Elegance jokes that Mr. Society might come back to town if he builds him an isolation chamber.

Chapter 5

Mr. Society is once again absent from Castle Town and, according to Mr. Elegance, has become a rancher on top of the cliff.
