Protagonist

One kinda silly question, but what's the chance that the Dark Souls III main character is the same one as in Dark Souls?

I mean, so many other things show up from 1 that it wouldn't surprise me. Andre, Siegward(yeah that entrance is almost Kramer worthy) etc.

edit: This notion would require "The Dark Lord" ending imo.

Well, in Ds it's "Siegmeyer", not "Siegward". But the point is valid anyway.

Oh, yes, quite. I never caught that one!

Both are Siegs and both are quite lost in thought and voiced by the same guy, so I naturally assumed they're the same.

What about the protag though?

Protagonist is someone who tried linking the fire in Ds1 but ended up being consumed by the flame. They're literally the world's last lifeline to link the flame, second chance at redemption.

Well yeah. The same guy basically. Fits my idea.

Depends if they failed or succeeded in Ds1. Either way Ds3's protagonist is a loser who couldn't even handle some mild burns.

Well, yeah, that is kinda what's implied here. You rekindled the fire in DS1, or not, but probably have at one time in the always repeating circle, making you a lord of cinder by default, and thuss qualified to reawaken by the bell's call.

Well, seeing how the Fire's still fading, I'd say that he either failed or chose to leave Kiln. I'd say that what with Dark Souls 3, the former choice would be the proper one.

Tbh, with what I'm proposing, there is no pressing need for all that circle crap. You tried to do something in 1, failed, time flies, you end up in 3 and are awoken by the bell tower. Quite linear. I like it.

I thought Lords of Cinders were those that successfully kindled the flame.

Ashen ones were the ones that got burnt by it.

Nono, that's why becoming one is unpopular, you die in the process, or at least go hollow if you have the power of a god like Gwyn had, and he must have been the strongest one to rekindle it, given that no other Boss in DS3 was ever considered a god.

This.

Unkindled are the Undead who managed to reach the Flame, but were rejected for being too weak or unworthy. See Friede or Hawkwood for an example.

Lords of Cinder, on the other hand, were those that were accepted and burned. Ludleth mentions his "charred corse", and Yhorm's soul directly state this.

So your character from DS1 couldn't be either. If they linked the fire, they would be part of Soul of Cinder. If they chose the dark ending, they never would have been burnt to Ash.

The reference you're looking for is in Soul of Cinder. The Firelink set is a melted, deformed Elite Knight set, suggesting many of the people who compose it wore that set - the most popular set in the series.
