Franipedia - Chuckias

Listed Below is the Chuckias Pocket Edition, the simplified and compressed version of the Chuckias, the religious texts of the Chuck E Cheese religion.

The Chuckias is also the oldest document in the lore, which predates all lore entities almost by 2 years, as it was written back in 2021, and was concluded and finished in 2023.

We can notice the first documents, mainly the first section was written much earlier than prior documents. In 2021, the first section was written, including some stories like SaltTan, Gloopius, and Martin Luther, but these sections were moved around, and new sections were added. Lore wise, the Chuckias serves as a perfect time capsule to see how pre lore slowly evolved into incorporating more of the lore. The lore in the Chuckias can be best classified as being part of the Ancient Era, where almost nothing existed past 2023, and select parts of 2024.

Some characters like Moomam or the McCheese Dynasty, still exist in some way, whether in mention or exist in the museum. It is very important to note that Old Lore characters such as "DuStanne" or "NPC McChristensen" are outlawed and are not to be preserved in the same way a museum character like Moomam does.

Chuck E Cheese Chuckias

THE CHUCKIST CHURCH SIMPLIFIED

If you are too lazy to read the Chuckias or short on time, there will be a very brief, oversimplified explanation of the Chuckist religion.

HIERARCHY

-The Rat
-John XXIII
-Head Priest
-Bishop of Cheese
-Priest of Cheese
-Brain Buddy
-Priest

The rat is the highest as its seen as a spiritual being, non-confined by the world and is believed to have a different morality and IQ than its human counterpart which is John XXIII, who is also able to take on a physical mouse form.

Beneath John XXIII is the Head Priest. This figure is the head of the Chuckist clerical structure, tasked with making new edicts, and having the authority to elect new clergy, however his authority only extends to clergy, religion, and church, not the followers, government, or other affairs of Chuckism. This was not always the case, as before the 1984 Reforms of Chuckism, the Head Priest had complete authority over every aspect of Chuckism, whereas this power has been given to John XXIII. Intrestingly, since Chewei Maffleton -the first head priest-, every head priest has been human.

Below an excerpt from the Chuckias for the Head Priests, in yellow:

"The Head Priest: Every religion has some form of main priest or pope. Well in Chuck E Cheese it is no different. In Chuck E Cheese in order to elect a head priest one must fully memorize the Chuckias and be able to communicate with Chuck E Cheese, which is a very rare and important gift. After going through priest school and the ritual a special test is given and if passed he is elected the new head priest if there is none. If there is one then he will wait until the current priest dies or resigns. Currently the head priest is Jacob Mauser since this version has been written. He has been a priest since 2017 and has nearly been able to make peace with Garbo on several accounts. He has been in the top 5 head priests at #3. As a head priest you have the top spot in Chuck E Cheese, incharge of every temple, incharge of all religious matters, and get the highest spot in the GCECITS which is being able to see Chuck E Cheese and his personal temple. Only the best Chuckists or Codyists are permitted there. "

Next are the Bishops of Cheese, tasked with managing churches, cheese storage, ordinations of Priests of Cheese, and act as a council with the Head Priest. They also may control large non-clerical related organizations, or could serve as generals or politicians.

The Priests of Cheese directly control the Chuckist services, prepare cheese for their rituals, run smaller organizations, and are seen as a lower echelon of commander. Typically in 3 levels. III for smaller churches and rituals, II for larger temples and major rituals, and I for working directly under the Bishop of Cheese in massive temples and managing every priest and III/II priest under them in their designated area.

Brain Buddies are the scholars, doctors, and theologians of Chuckism, and while many works independently or under a Priest or Bishop of Cheese, many are monitored by a Bishop of Cheese to educate Chuckists or train priests.

Priests are the lowest form of clergy, they work on the side with the Priest of Cheese, perform simple tasks and may be moved around different chuckist temples. Most, if not all priests are human, as most mice and rats quickly scale the ranks to III Priests of Cheese, as humans are not permitted to scale higher into rank.

The Chuckias stated this:

"The rank and file of Chuck E Cheese: I am going straight to the point this is going to be only one section and will begin at the bottom and go to the top. Let’s begin. At the bottom is Testie meaning you need to be given the test and oath. Next is Chuckist/Codyist meaning you just are following Chuck E Cheese and have to wait and prove to be better. After passing another test and being in the religion for 5 years or by acceptance by the head priest you become a priest, and will be able to bring in new members and preach the word of Chuck E Cheese. After that is Second In Cummand which is the highest title most can get. These people rule for life because they have been chosen by the head priest. They control the military, economy and religion but the head priest can still prevent things from happening. The last and highest role is head priest. This title can be only given if Chuck E Cheese can talk to you and you can understand him. If there already is a head priest you must wait for his retirement or death which could be a long time. With this power you own all of Chuck E Cheese and fulfill the needs of Chuck E Cheese so he doesn’t have to. Once you die, the head priest goes to the Palace Of Kings which is the best and highest place in the GCECITS being able to enjoy everything and may be able to talk or attend the God Council."

Many claim this contradicts Chuckist theology, however this from before pre-1984 reform, a reform that had actually happened in 984 AD, and this passage being forgotten at the council, was left and could never have been changed after the council was called.

OVERVIEW OF CHUCKIST CHURCH HISTORY

Chuckism was formed in 11, 135 BC by the historically unknown "Chewei Maffleton", as the first representative on the supposedly lost continent of Chuckland. This story is highly held with great skepticism as no records of Chuckland or Chewei Maffleton have ever been found.

"Chewei Maffleton: One of the most important figures in Chuck E Cheeseism was Chewei Maffleton. Born sometime in 11,135 BF he was amongst the first humans to be “Modern Humans''. Being the first Homo Sapien, Chuck E Cheese was able to speak to him and told him about the religion and its future. Chewei barely understood but Chuck E Cheese was able to make it in a way his brain could comprehend. Chewei sailed to what would later become Chuckland with 490 other humans. No one knows how the boat was created but evidence shows the boat existed. Landing in the north east he was aided by Chuck E Cheese’s help, making them intelligent and able to build a civilization. Chewei formed the Chewei tribe and even had some form of worship to Chuck E Cheese having stories passed down orally that Chuck E Cheese had told Chewei about. 10 years later Chewei had a large city built and decided to form things such as the Elder Council, the status of head priest, and began to document his life onto a clay tablet and have at least one in every Chuckist city and made sure the tablet would be adopted into the native and Chuckist languages. Almost every head priest had this up until the head priest Davlo Cheeso who reigned from 1974 to 2003. Later Chewei changed his name to Cheesewei Maffleton and made every person by law have to have either Cheese or Chuck in their name. This tradition, while mostly dead, is still used and has been used ever since. During his final couple years he established how Chuckland should rule, govern, invade, and trade and set the foundation for the East Empire Company which would become the largest trading company in the world with smaller branches like the East India Company being formed. He also was able to conquer all of Chuckland, may have written the first Chuckias, and made contact with Garbo, another religion forming in and around Chuckland. Without Chewei’s great wisdom and cunning Chuck E Cheese would not be the powerful force it is today. Well not today this is the dark ages and the head priest today is desperately in a race against it but you get the point."

The chuckias mentions stone tablets as a tradition, however the oldest stone tablet recovered was found in Burgundy and dated to the 13th century, and was written in old French.

According to Chuckists, this land was lost, and they scattered across the world, which is somewhat true, in the 9th century AD there was a dramatic increase in chuckists across the world as noted and proven by several documents uncovered. While much more supposedly happened in Chuckland, most can be dismissed as mythology or hoax.

Chuckist creation believes that the Rat, or "Chuck E. Cheese", video game developers Gabe Newell and Todd Howard, Dave, and Buster lived in this heaven like world, until Chuck E. Cheese grew tired and accidentally created humanity, and then nearly tried to kill them by pouring pizza sauce on the planet. Sometime between this, Dave and Buster led a revolt and were kicked out from the "Great Chuck E. Cheese In The Sky" and became monstrously evil and built a sort of hell like place known as the "Evil Dave and Busters Below".

Chuckists believe that Chuck E Cheese arcades are some sort of temple, however most chuckists don't go to these arcades historically and build their temples and churches out of stone or cheese. This fact proves that Chuckism is a false and contradicting religion, because according to them, the first 6 chapters are the most sacred and were not written by men. These 6 chapters are "Preexistence", "Humans and the Universe begin", "The pizza sauce flood", "Betrayal", "A new spread" and "The End". These chapters are barely touched upon in Chuckist theology, the Chuckias, and can be removed entirely and still have the rest of the Chuckias work perfectly. These 6 chapters are the oldest, the first, and for thousands of years according to some scholars, the only book in the Chuckias. Only the first four make sense and fit, while the last 2 seem to be prophecy and foundational, but seen nowhere else, leading many to believe only the first 4 chapters are canon, while the 2 last ones were added. We will delve deeper into this.

The most known version of the Chuckias is the "Chuck E. Cheese Holy Texts Pocket Edition". This is the only one we are available to use, as all official texts are either gone or in extreme protection by Chuckists. The pocket edition isn't meant to be used like the Bible, but rather to learn from it. It is a collection, description, and simplification. Additionally, this version has been condemned by several High Priests for being untrustworthy, mistranslated, biased, and most importantly, using heretical texts. So, more than likely, the last 2 chapters belong to some Chuckist heresy, perhaps Codyism.

Skeptics counter this claim by saying this is the Chuckias meant for religious practice and not study, however this version states explicitly this is not the case:

"The Chuckias Pocket Edition is what you are currently reading. It's the simplified version of the Chuckias and may go by different names"

Chuckist afterlife is also noted to have 3 unique areas, where different people go after death

"The 3 layers of the GCECITS: There are 3 layers upon death assuming you don’t go to the EDABOB. The first layer is the Arcade of Heaven: Here you may play as many games as you want for eternity. You can see the machines if you look up in the night sky and look like stars. There is the great divide which people who aren’t good enough for the GCECITS anymore are thrown into. This is also seen as the Milky Way in the night sky. The next layer is Hyperborea. This is exclusive to white, blonde, blue eyed people who are too good for the Arcade of Heaven. They enjoy many feasts and the power of weather. The last layer is Sovngarde which translated from Chuckonian to English means Warrior’s Rest. Only the best and bravest of people go here. The outside is a garden. Up a hill you reach The Hero Statues where brave warriors have statues erected for them. Up the top is the Palace Of Kings where only head priests and the bravest warriors go when they die. They enjoy the company of Chuck E Cheese, grand feasts, dancers, and the power to have a voice in the God Council."

The Afterlife: As most religions there is an afterlife. Chuck E Cheeseism is no different. If one supports and prays to Chuck E Cheese along with giving money to the temples then one may go to the Great Chuck E Cheese In The Sky or GCECITS. The GCECITS is a universal sized Chuck E Cheese. Every star in the sky that you see in the sky is an arcade machine found there. Although a majority of it is based on the arcade temples there are some parts like the Great Pizza Garden that aren't an arcade. The Great Pizza Garden is the most elegant place in the GCECITS with lush plants, fine landscaping, beautiful fountains and most importantly the Statues Of Importance which has each important both good and bad person in the form of a statue overlooking the garden. Lastly in the GPG is a large rectangular marble building which inside, has every major event on a table as a model. From the GTSF to the extinction of the BSC. The best part of the building is that it continuously grows in size when each major event happens. But not all people go to the GCECITS, some go down to the Evil Dave And Buster’s Below or EDABB. It was created after Dave and Buster had left the GCECITS. The entire place is reminiscent of Earth’s Dave and Buster but none of the arcade machines work. People constantly get taken and tortured by having to eat pink sauce and watch cringe videos for days on end. If one is really bad they get taken to the Zack room and have to watch Zack De La Garbo do things for several months. This is a punishment because of how boring his existence is. Most people stay there for an eternity some if proven innocent and a change of spirit may be granted to either relive life or go to the GCECITS.

CHUCKIST PRACTICES

We will detail the post 1984 reform practices, traditions, and rituals of Chuckism, mainly using excerpts from the Chuckias as a basis and expanding upon it.

Holy Days of Chuckism: When comparing Chuckism to Codyism Chuckism has more religious days/holidays. The first being Chuckois which starts on the 4th of March and celebrates the killing of Martin Luther and the freeing of the Chuckonian people, the original name for Chuckists. This day lasts all day and is celebrated by eating no sugary foods, and only wearing white. The no sugar is to symbolize the fact that sugary food then was forbidden and the color white means freedom in Chuckism and Codyism alike. The next day is Zackia which is the celebration of the pact to rebuild the Earth after the GTSF which is celebrated on the 10th of July. The day is for most just a day to eat a cake but for some more hardcore Chuckists or Codyists they find and kill any animal and cook it. The reason why people eat cake or kill and eat an animal has no interesting backstory and meaning and was just randomly started sometime. The next is La Globo which is the day of Polo’s birthday. It is celebrated on the 23rd of September. People go to either a temple or a shrine found in their home and leave gifts of money, food, and jewelry for Polo. Before 1984 AD people would sacrifice live animals and also give their own blood. Lastly is Klaunt day which is on 29th of December and celebrates the creation of the universe although celebrate may be a wrong term. Because the creation of the universe was a mistake. People wear all black, only eat stale bread, and act sad. Codyism only has one religious date that being Milfica celebrating on the 8th of April for Polo’s revelation of him being a God. People drink beer and share gifts with each other.

Chuckist holy days are based around events in their history. Oddly, Chuckois -the celebration of killing Martin Luther- is a thing, despite Martin Luther still existing as Pastor John today.

"Shrines and Temples: During the days of Chuckland Chuck E Cheese once had huge, lavish temples dedicated to him and Polo. Each city had one of these temples and every house had a small altar to Polo and Chuck E Cheese. Nowadays the temples have been replaced with special channels or discord servers dedicated to the religion or for some lunch tables are used to talk about the religion. Shrines that were found in these old temples were usually depicting Chuck E Cheese and were made of pure gold with eyes made of the most expensive diamonds or rubies. The shrines are completely gone. Home altars usually had a small bust of Chuck E Cheese and Polo made of silver and were found in the living room. People would pray to it every night. While home altars do not exist today one could still make a dedicated spot to him with a picture of Chuck E Cheese. The reason for all these downgrades is because of the fact that only around 200 people still follow him."

This is a very unnusual piece, as it states "around 200 people still follow him" which is completely false, as billions of rats and mice, and around 30k humans follow the Chuckist religion. It also mentions how chuckist temples were used to be made, with pure gold, eyes made of diamonds or rubies etc, and how now temples are discord channels. This is absurd, as Chuckist temples recently built still follow the pre 1984 building layout and are very grand and lavish. This might further prove the author comes from some odd heretic sect of Chuckism, as this low population number theme seems to be quite recurrent.

"Temples of Chuck E Cheese: Old temples as stated in the previous verse were big elegant temples. But what is in the temple? A temple’s exterior had a large golden gate surrounded by finely cut bushes. Inside the gate and around the temple had a fountain of tomato sauce, a walkway to the door and a statue to Polo on the left and a statue to Chuck E Cheese on the right usually made both out of marble and copper. Inside the temple you’d be able to see rows of chairs with a shrine to Chuck E Cheese and a stand for the priest to preach from the Chuckias. Behind the altar is a chest where people would make offerings of coin, bread, and pizza to Chuck E Cheese"

This is true, Chuckist temples are built like this and we will picture it below.

Chuckist lore and theology goes much deeper, and we could write for days about each passage, but this covers the basics of Chuckism for a general idea.
