Memory Jars are unique jars which can hold memories of the deceased.

Description

Memory Jars take the appearance of an empty glass jar similar to those in The Frontrooms. They have tight lids that are impossible to take off by normal means. They have two different phases; one is the deactivated phase, where they are just as previously described. In their deactivated phase, they hold no anomalous properties, apart from the lid being impossible to remove. Memory jars are activated when a person holding, or in close proximity to jar dies. When this event happens, the jar fills with "Memories." Once the activation happens, it is possible, and easy to remove the lid.

Memories

Memories are small glowing orbs that fill up memory jars when they enter their active state. They possess a strange property of floating, causing them to fly to the roof. These memories are physical representations of the memories from the dead person who causes the activation of a Memory Jar. Touching a memory will play it in your mind's eye, as if it had been your own. These memories all share the same color, but depend on the personality of the ex-holder.

Pink Memory

Jars that contain pink memories were held by generally cheerful or optimistic people.

Blue Memory

The polar opposite of pink memory jars, would have been held by people who have a general negative outlook, or have been sad most of their life.

Red Memory

Red memories come from people who had a violent and aggressive personality, or might have done many evil deeds.

Green Memory

Jars with green memories are held by people who were calm and/or lazy.

Purple Memory

A jar with purple memories would have been held by a person who had a timid and shy personality.

Yellow Memory

The opposite of the purple memory, yellow memories would come from brave and outgoing people.

Black Memory

Black memories are unique, as they are held by entities.

Uses for Memory Jars

Memory Jars are popular in trading, and some people earn serious amounts of useful resources by selling the Memory Jars of famous individuals. Due to this, Memory Jar collecting is a popular hobby in The Backrooms and is a recommended item for people new to trading. Finding a memory jar on the ground can also be crucial for survival, because the memories inside may alert you to a nearby threat.
