afk-lore

[hot plinth]

But we will see

[coral zodiac]

It's lilith's choice sdgd

[languid panther]

Yeah this teaser is so vague

Yeah no shit rai

[hot plinth]

Well

Wait

Blonde warrior

[languid panther]

It's actually my choice

[coral zodiac]

[languid panther]

I bought lilith

[hot plinth]

That screams lucius

If its awakened

[coral zodiac]

Y'know

[languid panther]

It's way too soon

[hot plinth]

Ffs

[coral zodiac]

what if they mantain the schedule of the first aw round

[languid panther]

And there's no mention of the element in it

[hot plinth]

I SWEAR TO GOD IF ITS AWAKENED LUCIUS I WILL RAGE

[coral zodiac]

Dw I will be happy

[languid panther]

The lack of mention of the elements makes me think it's not anything to do w the awakened

[coral zodiac]

first awakened les gooo

[hot plinth]

God now you got me thinking lol

[languid panther]

Like look at awbadens

Thanes ect

[hot plinth]

But

[coral zodiac]

haha

[hot plinth]

Badensndidnt mention an element did it?

[coral zodiac]

not directly in the teaser iirc

[languid panther]

It doesn't say WOOD ELEMENT BOY!!! no but like. If you have eyes

[coral zodiac]

but it was said previously that he was going to search the wood emblem?
Gabe, correct me because I'm probably mixing things dfsgf

[languid panther]

I'm talking about his dolly teaser rai

[coral zodiac]

I was saying in general but ok sdfgfd

[languid panther]

The this warriors decaying flesh is replaced by blooms or whatever I'm paraphrasing

Yeah it says that

There's 3 times it says badens going to the wood guardian

[hot plinth]

Not a thing about an element

[glad ruin]

wood/plant is the life element

trope wise

[languid panther]

That's what I mean

[hot plinth]

All it says is the warrior will be reborn

[languid panther]

Good God man

[glad ruin]

but also we had schedule/lore reasons to expect a new awakened at the time

getting one mid-december would be hells of random

[hot plinth]

Thats the way i originally read it and it still stands

[languid panther]

My point being I don't see anything in the new teaser that suggests any involvement w the fire emblem or elements

It stands where

[languid panther]

In the realm of pedantry

Cause that's where it is

[hot plinth]

Ya its just a strong blonde warrior

You right.

[glad ruin]

i say corpses can be blonde.

[hot plinth]

All gb are white haired or black

[coral zodiac]

awakening for seer rage srthgasfd

[glad ruin]

nah niru/daimon have purple hair and nara has blue

[hot plinth]

A few blue and purp

Generally all white though

Grez has flaming hair like hades from disney hercules

[glad ruin]

platinum blonde

checksmate

[hot plinth]

And izold and oden are bald

[languid panther]

They can stand to step out of the mold

[hot plinth]

I just love the spalsh screen though

[languid panther]

I'm still pretending the human trez in his dolly doesn't exist

YES

[languid panther]

It's so good

[hot plinth]

So epic!

[languid panther]

I have the dynamic wallpaper on my laptop

[hot plinth]

Oh?

Where you got

[languid panther]

Yeah they released that as a wallpaper a week and a half ago

[hot plinth]

Oh lol

[languid panther]

I didn't think they'd make it a splash screen

[hot plinth]

Didnt know

[languid panther]

I'm surprised

[coral zodiac]

I found funny how Lanward house and Palmer have been related someway before Lucius teaching stgasfd

[languid panther]

It's on wallpaper engine on steam they released all the awakened splash screens as moving wallpaper

[coral zodiac]

Check the new tab in mail

it has cool stuff

[hot plinth]

THATS RIGHR

I totally forgot lol

I saw it when i was at work and told myself id look later and never did lol

Love how its called exotic news lol

Rule 34 afk arena

[languid panther]

LMAO

[hot plinth]

Why am i blind

I just saw baden in there lol

In the spladh

I thought it was just thane lol

[glad ruin]

im honestly gonna be so bummed if we only get 3 gbs for the second year in a row. lbs, maulers and wilders got 8 guys!

[proper jasper]

Ayo I'm always late to the party

[glad ruin]

especially since one of those 3 was just baden 2

[hot plinth]

Read wherr i punged ya at youll see everyrhing

[hot plinth]

I feel ya but all 4fs are at 20 heroes with mauler and lb now at 21

[proper jasper]

Thanks

Hhmmmm

New hero's skills look interesting, but lore... eh? Just a little boring imo

The Dolly teaser do seem like an lb yeah, but could be gb too. See how it's written in past tense

[coral zodiac]

True!

[languid panther]

Blease

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Crawling around on the floor

[hot plinth]

Hownis it past tense..

[proper jasper]

'Was' and 'knew'

[hot plinth]

Was? Wherr?

[proper jasper]

*saw

It's early

[hot plinth]

Lol

Was like where the fuck is the word was

[languid panther]

They are doing a lot of lore in past tense flashback stuff too

As someone pointed out earlier

Dunno just spitballing

[proper jasper]

They to tend to do that with awakened lore characters

[languid panther]

Yep

But also salaki

Which was kinda weird

[proper jasper]

I mean it is 'backstory' so

[languid panther]

But I like him

Yeah I know

And they can't have like. Everything centered around the elemental event bc then at some point it'll be over

It makes sense

[proper jasper]

Yea

They have done past tense backstory for many characters, early characters as well. It's why it didn't really stand out to me

[languid panther]

Trezs lore is a flashback inside of a flashback

Poor dude

[proper jasper]

Lol yeah

[glad ruin]

scarlet's story is the worst in this respect. if it wasnt for like one line in her dolly's corner profile we would know literally nothing about what she's doing now

in fact we still pretty much dont

[proper jasper]

She's sailing the high seas is what she's doing lol

Jokes aside though

[glad ruin]

i guess outside the summer story if thats real

yeah

[languid panther]

I think they do that to avoid sticking them in a particular part of the current games events maybe

[proper jasper]

I think it's fine tbh, because of that yeah

[coral zodiac]

Flashback²

[languid panther]

Because they are kinda vague about when exactly the game happens in like we have a 3 year span things apparently are happening during

[proper jasper]

Making it ambiguous what characters are doing now lends more freedom for events

[languid panther]

But the flashbacks can translate weird and be kinda hard to understand sometimes

[proper jasper]

And story development

[languid panther]

It legit took me reading trezs lore like 3 times to get that he's having a flashback in the flashback where he's in the prison

[coral zodiac]

Iirc they aren't even translated to spanish at least in my game so fcnsnnd

[hot plinth]

I mean isnt palmer like dead?

[languid panther]

What do you mean

[proper jasper]

No?

[languid panther]

What tense are they in in Spanish

[coral zodiac]

No-?

[languid panther]

Palmers alive

[coral zodiac]

Oh wait Palmer's one is translated lol

[hot plinth]

Ah well i mean the story would be more past tense since belinda and lucius are on thier own now are they not?

[proper jasper]

There's currently no deceased playable characters. Even Zaph is supposedly still alive

Except for like gb but yeah

[glad ruin]

theres definitely levels though. like take morrow's story, it doesnt lock him into any particular time, but it gives you an idea of who he is as the character he is presented as in the game/ whereas scarlet's story cuts off when she's like 5 years old* and we don't get any info on where or what she's up to as an adult, just her physical appearance and voice lines to go off off

[languid panther]

Yeah I get what you mean

[glad ruin]

• because the lore book says she was actually 0 years old but w/e

[languid panther]

LMAO

So funny

[proper jasper]

Lol

[coral zodiac]

YEAH

[languid panther]

Thanks lore book

[coral zodiac]

It tries

It does it's best

[hot plinth]

Why is main chat so toxic

[coral zodiac]

It's main chat

[proper jasper]

Bcs it's main chat

[hot plinth]

I figured lore chat would be more toxic lol

[proper jasper]

Why?

[coral zodiac]

You can find nice people or not nice people

[hot plinth]

Before i started hanging out in here

[languid panther]

Main chat sucks

Taverns is better

[hot plinth]

Cause usually lore chat people can be very toxic in other servers if you dont get the lore right

[languid panther]

Lore is good but not active

Yep

Reason why I don't fuck with dark souls and fromsoft lore ppl anymore

[hot plinth]

You guys are generally witha. Few exception have been majorly kind in correcting and showing people where to go

[glad ruin]

lore chat people are probably more opinionated when it comes to lore but its not like we fight lol

[proper jasper]

Lol why would people be so hung up on that

It's just lore

[coral zodiac]

I just got reminded that I have to note down something

[languid panther]

I'm just a bit of a bitch

[hot plinth]

Some people are serial lol

[proper jasper]

Guess that's true

[languid panther]

I fight

Square up

I'll bite you

[hot plinth]

As i said witha. Few exceptions

[languid panther]

Biting you

Need biting emote

[proper jasper]

gabe

[hot plinth]

Lol

[languid panther]

Need like one of the pets biting someone

[proper jasper]

I wish I could use badenglock here

[hot plinth]

But for real i forgot raine was a support, and i got insulted...in main chat lol

[coral zodiac]

I mean

I forget classes too djfbsb

[proper jasper]

Ah yeah, people are like that

[languid panther]

That's flaw tjats just how he talks

[hot plinth]

Of course i blocked the clown but sef unecessary

[languid panther]

Don't take it personally

There's a reason he doesn't have hero role anymore

[hot plinth]

Hero role?

[languid panther]

The orange one

[hot plinth]

Oh the color thingy

[coral zodiac]

Ah ty test Dolly
The Hero leak is in english in spanish setting

[proper jasper]

Ndhandbandbsn

[coral zodiac]

I think it's because Flaw left

[hot plinth]

I shoukd get that

[coral zodiac]

And then came back a lot of time after

[languid panther]

No it's cause he got too many warnings

Apparently

[coral zodiac]

And he didn't wanted the role

Oh

It's maybe that
Idk I can't remember well

[languid panther]

He was talking about it a couple weeks ago

[coral zodiac]

Aurora hangs now on Ami server lol

[languid panther]

I blocked her for making pedo and zoo jokes a while ago

So whatever

[hot plinth]

Im lvl 27 that mean anything?

[hot plinth]

Oh god...you all know her...

[languid panther]

That means if you dm the mods you can get the role that lets you into the secret channel

Which is much chiller than main

[hot plinth]

That afk exotcu channel?

[languid panther]

LMAO

[hot plinth]

😆

[languid panther]

No taverns

[hot plinth]

Ah ok

[coral zodiac]

I know her but I didn't speak with her a lot

[languid panther]

I don't know these fools but my block list does

[proper jasper]

Who's that

[hot plinth]

Ya she was in inquisitors/ eclipse once upon a time

[coral zodiac]

Idk in which branch she is now dndndn

Ik that not in Jade I think

[proper jasper]

I have no idea what any of this is

I just eat lore

[languid panther]

I don't particularly care what annoying people are up to

Lore goes in my mouth

I told Eli to get in here

[coral zodiac]

Nvm, I was wrong ancnsn
I thought she was in Iris but she's in Jade

[languid panther]

@autumn pike

[hot plinth]

Thos has to be the best channel tbh

[languid panther]

Bro

Come here

[hot plinth]

In this sever

[autumn pike]

iam kinda sad atm

[coral zodiac]

What happened

[autumn pike]

we're getting a blonde warrior

i want whurral

[coral zodiac]

OH I CAN USE MY STICKERS HERE

[proper jasper]

Wait we can?

[hot plinth]

Aww eli wants gb simps huh?

Lol we can

[languid panther]

Nice

[coral zodiac]

I CAN USE THIS HERE EACH TIME I HAVE A QUESTION (if I still have nitro) LES GOOO

[hot plinth]

Lol

Theyll take away our fun soon aboose it while we can

[coral zodiac]

Lol

I think there is not yet a way to limit stickers as with emotes

[languid panther]

No they can limit it they just haven't cared enough to fix it

They've known for months

[hot plinth]

If i could id be using my panda mojis 😦

[coral zodiac]

I asked like in august if they could put reactions here as in like the art channel

[hot plinth]

Im curious if there is maybe lore within the splash screen...

This one is lot different from others

There is like a sun on thanes side and the moon on badens side

And just various other things...

Maybe im reading too much into it

[languid panther]

YES

I've been talking about that w embla

Baden is shown as being literally glowing in the silent blade, he is the sun and that's why thane faces him

Thane has a lot of moon and stars motifs and that's why badens facing the moon

They make me insane

The themes are intentional

[hot plinth]

Wtf is that

[hot plinth]

Indeed im glad im not the onlynone thinking into it

[proper jasper]

You're not lol

[languid panther]

Gold leaf texture

They use the gold leaf texture in a lot of the splash screens

[hot plinth]

I see a face..

Hold on

[languid panther]

You're insane I guess

Congrats

[proper jasper]

I also feel like they're representative of duality. Thane of the light/day (lb), Baden of the dark/night (gb)

[hot plinth]

Trying to rotate it

[languid panther]

Yesyesyes

THERES NO FACE IM GONNA START SEEING FACES NOW

[proper jasper]

Hush

It's just texture

[languid panther]

I feel like you just shushpaped me

[proper jasper]

If I had more presence of mind I'd talk more abt the themes

[languid panther]

Yeah same

[proper jasper]

But I'm kinda out of it today it seems

[languid panther]

I'm relying on you to fill in my blanks

[proper jasper]

Cant today

[languid panther]

You just dod

Did

[languid panther]

That

[proper jasper]

That was like 1/10 of what I wanted to say ajdhajdhs

I'm vibrating in place

[languid panther]

It's more than my 0

[proper jasper]

Thats not 0

[languid panther]

I do think like you said the duality there's something to be gleaned from the only other splash we have with two people is of annih and dura

[proper jasper]

Also, it makes me slightly unhinged that they flipped the whole "facing the light" thing when Baden died

[languid panther]

Such beautiful art

[proper jasper]

Yeah exactly

Thats just texture

[languid panther]

THATS A CHICKEN NUGGET

[hot plinth]

Lol

[proper jasper]

Thinking abt Baden's noctis animarum video

[languid panther]

I know

[vale grove]

what's happening

[proper jasper]

With Thane representing the light and his hope

[vale grove]

ah Rai simping over Lucius

[proper jasper]

Trying to squeeze my brain here

[languid panther]

The line in his English lore saying badens still face looking up blankly at the sky

Haunts me

[proper jasper]

That one always drives me a little nuts

[languid panther]

Day and night

[hot plinth]

Lil less bluery

[languid panther]

Chicken nugget

[proper jasper]

There is no face

It's just texture

[vale grove]

I believe is like a gem stone?-

[hot plinth]

Of what...

Something just dont get slapped in the middle of thebsun without a reason

[proper jasper]

Artists apply texture to their artwork for visual interest

Its not that deep

[hot plinth]

Why is it just the sun why not the moon as well

[proper jasper]

There is texture on the moon

The stripes are texturized

[hot plinth]

Looks like there is a dial in the moon

[languid panther]

And I thought I saw patterns in things where there weren't any

Specimen

I'm never changing my splash art

This is it

We have peaked

[hot plinth]

Its the best one

[hot plinth]

Only one i would ever replace it with is a lucy one

Cause baki is dark queen simp

[proper jasper]

If they released a Zaph and/or Lucy splash screen I'd go nuts

[hot plinth]

^ this 1000000%

They really should zaph and lucy are the first heroes they ever got into animation with

[languid panther]

Zaphlucy screen blease

[hot plinth]

They def deserve a splash screen wether together or seperate

[proper jasper]

They doooooo

[vapid musk]

Thank you 💞

[hot plinth]

Np

[hot plinth]

#classic-suggestions message

Up vote this

[proper jasper]

Only pair with no lore connection is Safiya and Satrana. Yeah I'm gonna read way too much into this

This is my "pls give me a continuation of Safiya's story" agenda

[coral zodiac]

It's cool that in the patch notes video they explained a bit Palmer's lore and his relation with Lucius and Belinda

[coral zodiac]

PLEASE

Where do I have to sign

[proper jasper]

Rai my friend you get me

[coral zodiac]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/698076776097775626/1048537535514673194/image.png

And then they explained a bit his lore resumed

[proper jasper]

Ooooh I see

Thanks Rai!

[coral zodiac]

Idk if they did that before actually lol

[coral zodiac]

[proper jasper]

I do remember some details being exclusive to the patch notes. Like where Thane got his outfit.

[coral zodiac]

Ooo I see

[languid panther]

baden and nevvvvv my babbies

[proper jasper]

I have a crack theory that they went out and confirmed it bcs people kept believing he awakened w the Rayne apparel

[languid panther]

so funny if true

it might be considering they definitely read peoples comments, like how they kept going baden is going to the wood guardian over and over and ppl still thought it was shemira

[proper jasper]

Yah that too

[coral zodiac]

sdfsrtghser that was funny

[languid panther]

i could see them going with one of the dura related celestials like athalia next

they seem to be pointing that way

[proper jasper]

Hah

Pointing

[languid panther]

with focus on the church-

i hate it here

[coral zodiac]

sfgedsf

[languid panther]

she awakens into a christmas tree star topper

[proper jasper]

But yeah I could see that. But if Athalia, would Cecilia be-

Crying

[languid panther]

i could see them doing lucius belinda or cecilia

[coral zodiac]

I wonder if they will repeat the same cycle

[languid panther]

the old lb that arent relevant anymore

[coral zodiac]

wait nvm, there are the same number of cele/hypos than in normal factions sdfgdsf

[coral zodiac]

I want my blond husband plis

[languid panther]

i want awakened estrilda

blease

[coral zodiac]

Seeing Palmer added kinda got my hopes up hhhh

[proper jasper]

Yeah I'd see them doing the same order, but somebody pointed out that now we've been through one round they could shake it up by scrambling the faction order

[languid panther]

if theyre following the same patterns then palmer has something to do with the event

[proper jasper]

So in other words:

Fire Shemira

[languid panther]

kms

[coral zodiac]

...

[languid panther]

leave that woman alone

[coral zodiac]

that would be so cool wtf

[proper jasper]

Ajdhsjdh

[languid panther]

rai how are you just now hearing about this

i hope we get the fire elemental

the guardian

[proper jasper]

Same

I need them confirmed

[coral zodiac]

it's the first time my two neurons does a little connection about that, gabe

[languid panther]

i need them to be sexy

what do you mean

im crying

[coral zodiac]

I didn't imagined fire shemira doing crazy burn things before sergfsd

[languid panther]

shes just vibing

i better see so much christmas thaden in this art contest

[proper jasper]

Pls

I want to participate but no battery left

Treznap

[coral zodiac]

I want to participate but uni said no and took literally all my free time

[languid panther]

i will draw you a shitty baden hold on

[proper jasper]

[trail kite]

Nev would say that she has evidence of Baden being awakened

[hot plinth]

I dont remeber who i was talking to about awakened release dates, but there ya go it was ezizh to thane that was the shortest

Well no i guess that is still about 2 months

Talene to ezizh = 56 days
Ezizh to thane = 56 days
Thane to brutus = 70 days
Brutus to solise = 56 days
Solise to baden = 70 days

[coral zodiac]

Thank you!

[languid panther]

Thanks

[dawn quest]

[languid panther]

God I hope they wait another 70 days

[dawn quest]

Likewise.

With plenty events during.

[finite lichen]

Hope no more

[dawn quest]

soIcanbuildbadenmoar

[finite lichen]

After another cycle it'll just be all awakeneds

[languid panther]

We know they won't stop

[fallen trellis]

If the next set of awakened end up being stronger on average than the current ones I'll be very sad

[languid panther]

They will

That's how this works

[hot plinth]

Baki a pissed baki

But at least they are talking about doing something

Oog meant thia for general but hey here ya go

[autumn pike]

Who do you guys think the blond warrior is?

[coral zodiac]

I have no idea but my heart say Lucius anyways lmao

I have an obsession 😂

[proper jasper]

No idea but I dearly hope it's not a dim

[languid panther]

I'm trying to think what like

Myth or whatever they're pulling from

It's got to be a dim because I have no idea what they could be referencing otherwise

[proper jasper]

Sigh

Time for more resource holding then

[coral zodiac]

i don't wanna

[proper jasper]

Me neither

[languid panther]

Achilles?

Maybe?

[proper jasper]

........

Damn it

[languid panther]

Cause I don't think it's an athurian reference

[proper jasper]

I'd actually like that

[languid panther]

And they're doing more historical figures now

I'm placing my bet on achilles

[proper jasper]

Sounds plausible, esp with the whole intimidation check thing

[languid panther]

They have to do all the gays now

Phone fucking censoring me

[proper jasper]

Lmao

Ok if they do give us Achilles

I'll build him

Sigh

He'll have to be op tho to be in character

[vapid musk]

What if this is celestial?

[lapis stag]

Dolly talks about a blonde warrior girl in russian

[languid panther]

interesting

[lapis stag]

Когда солдаты увидели на поле боя белокурую воительницу, они сразу поняли, кто победит.

When the soldiers saw a blonde warrior enter the battlefield, they knew immediately who would be the victor.

当那个金发飘扬的身影加入战场，士兵们就知道这场战役胜负已分。

[proper jasper]

If it weren't for the timeframe I'd be hoping for awakened Estrilda too

[hot plinth]

Its insane how the light bleaches your hair if you are a lightbearer

Well thr majority anyway

[mortal cypress]

i wonder if rowan’s like an impostor lightbearer cuz he’s still ginger

maybe him and mishka swapped places cuz in her skin she turns blonde

[hot plinth]

So the next awakened if they do 56 days will be jan 3rd and if they do 70 will be jan 17th. Both are on a tuesday.

[proper jasper]

New birthday round!

[coral zodiac]

[languid panther]

But why does it look like it's strung out on crack

[proper jasper]

It has seen some things

[languid panther]

LIKE WHAT

[dawn quest]

Crack

Yum yum yum yum.

[lusty horizon]

Help which arm is Thane actually missing is it his right arm??

[proper jasper]

Yep 👍🏻

[lusty horizon]

Nifty!

I mean like. Not nifty because. He has. An arm missing. He was probably ambidextrous though

[proper jasper]

LMAO

Well the comic did swap his swordsarm a bit iirc so he could be lol

[lusty horizon]

Which comic?? :o

[proper jasper]

The Silent Blade, you haven't seen it?

You're in for a treat my friend

[lusty horizon]

Is that in game, or a deeper extra content thing?

[proper jasper]

It's great!

[languid panther]

CRYING

Oh I love when people read tsb for the first time

[proper jasper]

Saaaame

[languid panther]

Hey it says ongoing

👀

[proper jasper]

It's like sharing the single's day quotes

[languid panther]

Hey lilith when next tsb

Pwease

[hot plinth]

So the next hero will be a celestial based on current release time of awakened....unless they give us a blonde maul wild or gb

[languid panther]

Unless it's a dim

[proper jasper]

Please I'd rather have dim than cele.

[languid panther]

The lack of anything faction or lore related makes me think dim

[hot plinth]

Doubt it

[languid panther]

I'm not ready for a cel

[hot plinth]

After thr shit show of three in like 2 months i doubt there will be another dim this soon

[proper jasper]

Best would be 4F but

Oh well. At worst I guess I can climb some cele tower stages with the trial

[hot plinth]

Wat you mean espiria is always a battlefield

[languid panther]

I don't have my emotes in here I cant express my fatigue

[hot plinth]

I mean i guessnits not drenched in alot of info...i just dont see another dim

But at least wr can pinpoint the time of next awakened

Unless lilith does some funky ass shit

3rd or 17th of feb

[proper jasper]

They've released dims close to one another before, like Ezio, overlord and persona

Don't hope for it exactly myself but they could do it again ig

[languid panther]

Joan and then witchers was back to back

I love that emote so much it just encapsulates what I imagine working for quaedam is like

[proper jasper]

Lmao

[lusty horizon]

I got immediately sucked in, this is so great

Thane and Baden's story is my fave 💯

[proper jasper]

It's so good!!!

What got me into the lore lol

[lusty horizon]

What got me into the lore was Thane going "Estrilda wait for me" and realizing that Estrilda is another hero, not just a random name, and then I realized that all of the characters are connected

So I started actually reading the in game stories lol

[proper jasper]

Yeah the lore is surprisingly intricate once you dip in, it can be a bit daunting too

I just remember trying to sit down and make a relationship chart and I realized I there's SO MUCH WORK (then somebody did it for me so I didn't have to ajdhjsdj)

[lusty horizon]

😂😂

[proper jasper]

Speaking of that quote

[lusty horizon]

She's.. she's right in front of you, Thane

[proper jasper]

Poor man wasn't given a horse

[lusty horizon]

Lmaoo

Whole new meaning

Also I heard we support Thaden in this household 👀

[proper jasper]

This is basically the thaden chat lol

[lusty horizon]

I love that 😂

[fallen trellis]

Thane has the power of the wind emblem yet still can't keep up with Estrilda with a horse

[proper jasper]

Gotta work those legs you know 🦵

[proper jasper]

So by all means drop any hcs, or general thaden thoughts because I promise you they're very welcome here

[lusty horizon]

He skipped leg day once and can't keep up with a horse 💔

[lusty horizon]

Will do when my brain scrambles some together 👀

[proper jasper]

Nice

[fallen trellis]

I made a hero with its own lore and skill set about a week ago based on a dream I had

May or may not post here depending how I feel

[lusty horizon]

Eyes

[fallen trellis]

It's somewhat long for sure

[proper jasper]

Please do!!!

We need more oc content in here

[fallen trellis]

Hmm

Here goes

Lucas was no ordinary lightbearer child. From a very young age, he would often wander into the Dark Forest on his own despite his parents' warnings of dangerous beasts in the woods. It was not an uncommon occurrence for him to arrive at his parents' doorsteps covered in dirt and clothes ruined. While other children played with toys and with each other, Lucas was more interested in the forest and its denizens. He would sometimes disappear for days only for his parents to find their only son in a den living with the forest creatures. One day, Lucas was out on an excursion in the Dark Forest when a large beast attacked him in a small clearing. On that day however, fate seemed to be smiling down on him as something darted across the ground and threw the beast aside, freeing Lucas from his demise. Lucas wanted to run, but his curiosity got the better of him as he watched his savior wrestle with the beast, before the beast retreated back into the deeper parts of the woods.

His savior was a Wilder girl, looking a few years older than he was. On that day, the two quickly became friends, Lucas being happy to finally have an older sibling figure while the Wilder was happy to have someone reminiscent of family. The two became inseparable. The Wilder girl taught Lucas the language of the forest, allowing him to communicate with the forest creatures and form a deeper connection with nature.

However, Lucas had the tendency to get into mischief, sometimes putting his own life at risk unbeknownst to him. The Wilder saved him on countless occasions, always there to save the child in imminent danger. One day however, a Hypogean attacked Lucas. Right before the Hypogean's teeth impaled into his head, the Wilder pushed the Hypogean away, freeing him. Lucas watched in horror as his guardian and only friend fought a losing battle. The Hypogean was far stronger than any of the beasts that were local in the Dark Forest. "Lucas, run!" The Wilder called out, doing her best to restrain the Hypogean despite her wounds. Lucas was in terror. He looked back as he ran, listening to the roars of the Hypogean as tears streamed down his face.

On that day, Lucas vowed to never let his mischief get the better of him. Throughout the years, his time in the Dark Forest were replaced with hours in the Academy as he strove to become a healer, constantly haunted by the death of his Wilder friend. Over time, Lucas soon realized his time at the Lightbearer Academy was insufficient for him to become a true healer. He turned to the Dark Forest once more, this time with conviction and resolve. He had packed the bare minimum of his belongings as he trekked into the dense mass of trees, seeking out the forest's greatest doctors.

"I am not losing another person."

[proper jasper]

I'd die for Lucas

[fallen trellis]

I have his skillset ready

[proper jasper]

👀

[fallen trellis]

Signature item furn and engravings aren't done yet however

Ultimate Ability: Breath of the Wild
Passive: When other allies are alive, Lucas focuses on healing them for 100% of his attack rating, prioritizing the hero with the lowest % max health. When no other allies are alive, Lucas uses his bow to shoot at enemies, prioritizing the enemy that had done the most damage to him and his team.

Active: When other allies are alive, Lucas heals all allies but himself for 120% of his attack rating every second for 3 seconds. When no other allies are alive, Lucas charges at the enemy who had done the highest amount of damage and stuns them, before hitting them with his dagger up to 5 times, doing 120% of his attack rating as damage. Lucas is immune to damage during this stage but can still get hit. This attack ends early when he gets hit 3 times.

Lvl 2: Lucas now reduces the damage taken by his allies by 15% for 5 seconds when his allies are still alive. This buff cannot be applied on himself and can be stacked up to 3 times. Time durations for the stacked effects are calculated individually. When no other allies are present, Lucas can be hit up to 5 times until his ultimate ability is interrupted.
Lvl 3: Duration of his damage reduction buff when his allies are alive is increased to 7 seconds. Lucas can now hit his target 7 times with his ultimate ability when no allies are present.

Ability: Power Surge
When other allies are alive, Lucas grants the ally with the highest attack rating 30% of his own attack rating as theirs and 30 haste for 5 seconds. When this effect ends, Lucas is exhausted, unable to attack, heal, or use any of his abilities for 4 seconds. This attack rating increase can be stacked with any multiplicative bonuses received by the hero he buffs. When no other ally is present, Lucas stuns the nearest enemy for 2 seconds and decreases their haste by 50 for 3 seconds.
Lvl 2: Ally haste buff is increased to 40. Haste decrease to enemies is increased to 100.
Lvl 3: Buffing allies with this ability now grants them a regeneration effect for 5 seconds, regaining 10% of their health per second. This effect cannot exceed 150% of Lucas' own attack rating. Lucas now steals 30 haste from enemies for 3 seconds when no allies are present.
Lvl 4: Ally buffs now last for 7 seconds. Debuffs on enemies when no allies are left has a 20% chance to prevent the target from using their ultimate ability for 15 seconds.

Passive Ability: Immunomics
Lucas is 30% resistant to any debuffs applied on him. When other allies are alive, every 3rd healing effect on allies other than himself increases the dissolve rating of the healed ally by 10. This effect can be stacked up to 10 times and resets to zero every time Lucas has his health drop below 50% or is killed.
Lvl 2: Lucas increases the tenacity of his allies by 4 for every 3 heals. This effect can be stacked 10 times and is reset to zero every time he loses 50% of his max health or is killed.
Lvl 3: All allies except Lucas gain 2 recieved healing. This effect can be stacked 10 times and is reset to zero every time Lucas loses 50% of his max health or is killed.

Passive Ability: Retribution
While other allies are alive, Lucas increases his healing done to others by 20% for every fallen nonsummoned ally. When no other ally is left on the battlefield, Lucas does 20% extra damage to his target for each ally slain by the target.
Lvl 2: For each fallen ally, Lucas gains 10 haste. This bonus ends when Lucas is the only ally left on the battlefield.
Lvl 3: For each fallen ally, Lucas gains 10% more energy from all sources. This bonus ends when all other allies are slain.

[lusty horizon]

Breath of the wild /positive

[fallen trellis]

Hush I know

Sounds familiar

[proper jasper]

Fnshnfhsjd

This is cool though 👀

[fallen trellis]

If I ever have time I might make lore and a skillset for the Wilder that saved Lucas

[proper jasper]

If you do, please share!

[proper jasper]

Ngl this makes me want to make my own afk ocs too 👀

[fallen trellis]

Balancing the skills are fun too

Trying to not make them too op

He would be relatively fragile especially since he doesn't buff himself when others are alive

[proper jasper]

Yeah that's the part I find the hardest about making skills lol

[fallen trellis]

Athalia Nara him and he dead

[dawn quest]

Holy shit.

[proper jasper]

You want them to look relatively usable, but not gamebreaking. And also fitting their lore

[dawn quest]

Love that story.

[proper jasper]

Same!

[fallen trellis]

Thank you

[dawn quest]

Yummy tragedy.

Crunch crunch.

[proper jasper]

Kahdjahdjs

[fallen trellis]

I'm usually not much of a writer but if I get a good idea then I tend to outdo myself

[proper jasper]

You did! Something about those "it came to me in a dream" stories isn't it lol. I always write down interesting dreams for inspiration

[hot plinth]

As long as you dont think estrilda is thanes lover we are good lol

[lusty horizon]

She was like. A child when he was like late 20s

[hot plinth]

She is his adopted daughter

[proper jasper]

God I love that it's canon

Did a double take when I saw it lol

[fallen trellis]

Thane is my favorite lightbearer

[hot plinth]

Estrailda: help me step father im stuck in this monsters mouth

Thane: sirry step daughter im after badens thick wood

[fallen trellis]

Literally 3 of my favorite heroes from each faction have awakened forms now

[proper jasper]

Same! He was my first 309 E60 😌

[fallen trellis]

No.

[hot plinth]

No what

[fallen trellis]

I remember using him a lot in my earlier days but now I have him to 309e30

I'm hoping to e60 him soon but I already started on e80 asolise

[proper jasper]

[proper jasper]

[fallen trellis]

Just the wording

I wanted wholesome story

[hot plinth]

[fallen trellis]

[proper jasper]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry

Anyways look

[hot plinth]

Awww

[fallen trellis]

This is even worse than the time someone mentioned how Solise would have 9 rat tails if she got the tails all shaved of fur

[hot plinth]

Wait a minute

[fallen trellis]

Yay

[proper jasper]

[hot plinth]

Baden is getting a lil freaky with his wood there

[fallen trellis]

Afk lore out of context

[hot plinth]

Hey they made baden the wood hero

[fallen trellis]

Fair enough

[hot plinth]

And i mean framton is thirsty af for talene he wants to eat dat ass

[hot plinth]

Lemme fetch mine

[fallen trellis]

E60 too

[hot plinth]

May...t4 him we will see how well he does in cr

[proper jasper]

He's good in Nemora and... usable in Idre

But not really elsewhere in CR

[fallen trellis]

Nemora fun

Cause Swolise go brrr

[proper jasper]

Lol yeah

She's op

[fallen trellis]

Best investment in my entire afk career

[hot plinth]

For burning brute he was pretty solid last round iirc

Better then awakened

[proper jasper]

Oh really? On boss?

I need to try that 👀

[fallen trellis]

Invincibility frames go brr

[proper jasper]

Btw you got lots of people in merc line for your Swolise? 👀

[fallen trellis]

Currently there's a guildmate who wants her next but it's first come first serve

I own the only fully built asolise in my guild

Everyone else has all of the other awakened

[proper jasper]

Ajdhsj in that case I'll be nice. I've been able to nab one from my guildie every week but E80 Solise did look tempting

[fallen trellis]

Currently e61

[proper jasper]

Godspeed

My dream is to have this lineup maxed one day

Currently working on AwThane's furn

[hot plinth]

Oh guess it changed to athane

Brute use to be thane as best and could be replaced with athane

Now its just athane

[fallen trellis]

This one is mine

It does has a chance against the ainz comps but needs more work

[proper jasper]

Nice 👀

I just throw AwThane at Ainz lol he tends to beat him every time

[hot plinth]

Baki already achieved his dream

[proper jasper]

Maxed Luc?

[proper jasper]

Hell yeah

[fallen trellis]

Sheesh

[proper jasper]

God I love Luc and Zaph so much

So jelly

[hot plinth]

Lets go awakened lucy and zaph!

[proper jasper]

Ajhdjajd awakened Lucy would break the game

[hot plinth]

Ya she would

[fallen trellis]

Scary

[proper jasper]

Lol

Aside from them though, what other heroes do you guys want to see awakened?

I'm still on my Safiya train for lore reasons lol

[fallen trellis]

Saurus

My favorite lizard boi

[proper jasper]

Please!!!!

I love him

He deserves it

[fallen trellis]

May possibly be the best boss dps hero ingame

[proper jasper]

Lmao that'd be something

[hot plinth]

Iets see hmm

[proper jasper]

AwSaurus + Scarlet boss comp

[fallen trellis]

If the celepogean awakened forms tend to be generally weaker than the 4f ones that would be pretty funny

[proper jasper]

Akdhksjdks nooo

Poor AwLuc

[fallen trellis]

Lorewise the balance of power between factions would tip unfavorably for the celepogeans

[hot plinth]

Lb: belinda
Maul: antandra (so she can stand side by side by her king)
Wild: tasi saurus or eironn
Gb: grezhul 1000%
Cel: zaph or twins
Hyp: lucretia

[fallen trellis]

I was about to say thane but then I remembered

[proper jasper]

With Palmer released I have a feeling AwBelinda isn't too unlikely- LMAO

YOU FORGOT HIM

Shame on you

[hot plinth]

https://tenor.com/view/shame-go-t-game-of-thrones-walk-of-shame-shameful-gif-4949558

[proper jasper]

Awakened awakened Thane

[fallen trellis]

Me and my short term memory

[proper jasper]

God I can relate

[fallen trellis]

It might be Belinda or lucius

[hot plinth]

Wait who and why are we shaming?

[proper jasper]

Akdhsk you went straight to shaming w no context

I personally hope for Lucius

I think they could do neat things with his lore, also Rai would be happy

[fallen trellis]

Awakened Rowan

[proper jasper]

[fallen trellis]

Mountain of cash falls from the sky killing everyone

[proper jasper]

Crying

[fallen trellis]

Or

Duck army

[hot plinth]

Rowan would be a good awakened

[fallen trellis]

Lorewise idk

[hot plinth]

Instill wanna seee firelord dreaf

[proper jasper]

Lol

[hot plinth]

#makedreaffirehero

If lilith acctually did that i would honestly truly love this company more

I know dreaf is a meme but giv him some love lol

[fallen trellis]

The only issue that I have with awakened heroes is that they're already really hard to get

Sure a f2p or a low spender might get 1 ascended

[hot plinth]

Hell dreaf is stronger then walker

Ya i keep suggesting they make awakened pulls 5k dias

Hell id do 7k

Timegazer cards are a bitch to get

[fallen trellis]

I appreciate the daily 500 diamond one but that's not going to cut it in the long run

[proper jasper]

Yeah they're quite tough for f2p and low-spenders to keep up. Then again the gap between whales and us have always been pretty wide

[hot plinth]

No what i mean

With stargazer pulls 500 for 1 5000 for 10

Do thay but with timegazer

[proper jasper]

Yeah that'd be nice

[hot plinth]

It would help even f2p people

[fallen trellis]

You can already stargaze awakened but that's after you get them ascended

[hot plinth]

And we already have 6 awakened i dont feel like thats asking too much

[proper jasper]

I do think they'll make timecards easier to access eventually, as with sg cards. But then again who knows

[hot plinth]

Indeed

And i wasnt around for sg

Was it always 500 and 5000?

[proper jasper]

Don't remember

[fallen trellis]

Yeah 500 per

[proper jasper]

Ugh I really hope the new hero isn't a cele

I'm so behind as it is

[fallen trellis]

Swolise will probably keep me happy for a while

It's really satisfying to watch enemy hp tick down

Drowning my enemies

[proper jasper]

Hell yeah

Same w me and AwThane, it's fun to watch him go

[languid panther]

Embla how are you awake

[proper jasper]

[languid panther]

Abaden is so funny to watch

I put him and trez together and just cannot see anything on the field

It's great

[hot plinth]

@languid panther wants aeakens treznor

[proper jasper]

We all want awakened Trez

[languid panther]

Ofc I do

I want to kiss him

[proper jasper]

[lusty horizon]

Words can't capture the fruit 😌✨

"Thane come live with me"

"wear this uniform, you'll look so sexy in it"

[proper jasper]

God I know akdhsjdh

Though Thane's line "want to see it? That'll never happen" like do you think he thought about that line in hindsight?

Making myself sad over here

[lusty horizon]

Oh noooo

Bro the cliffhanger 😭

Like I know what happens but still 😭

It can't just end before Baden dies

Is there a comic about Baden's story as a graveborn?

[proper jasper]

Unfortunately not yet

We do hope for a sequel though, the CN afterwords was kinda weirdly phrased abt it

Then again it's mtl so "first season" could be a mistranslation

[languid panther]

A WHOLE FRUIT SALADNSHFISBDJDHFJDHDJWDJDJCBSJDHWJCBSJDBWJDBDJCBSJ

AEFHIAWEHFAWIE

RAINBOW

EMOJI

[languid panther]

please be a new comic

[vale grove]

[hot plinth]

I was comparing dura and the dark lord sun and moon to thane and baden sun and moon thought i saw something

[languid panther]

No yeah the dura and annih thing is intentional

Life and death

[proper jasper]

Oh yeah

Also, now I do wonder if Baden is supposed to be moon-themed, instead of eclipse-themed. Because of the video

Like I know moon is involved in an eclipse but you get it

[languid panther]

I interpret it as thane facing the sun being Baden and baden facing the moon being thane

[proper jasper]

I think they switched that around when Baden died

Hence the eclipse

Thane is a part of the light Baden will never be truly able to return to

Aka Baden is not of the darkness/night, but the darkness/night eclipsed his light once he died. But that doesn't change the fact that his light is still there

And also the recent trend with Thane being described and pictured with brilliant light

Through Baden's eyes

[languid panther]

God

They make me insane

The themes

They are each other

[languid panther]

Hhhhhh its a reverse of how tsb thane saw baden

[proper jasper]

Yes!!!!!!

[languid panther]

The eclipse thing is so

Drives me insane

I really love their themes being swapped around

[proper jasper]

I know! It's so good

[languid panther]

Thane facing the sun fits his whole exhalted thing

I'm very tired

Your wording is much better

Exalted why is there an h there

Images that kill

[proper jasper]

[proper jasper]

I did the exact same thing when I made the Baden title comic I just hoped nobody noticed

[fallen trellis]

Custom hero sig info drop

Item Lore:
A sharp and deadly enchanted dagger blessed by the spirits of the forest. It was a gift from the Wilder Lucas had befriended and lost in his childhood. This dagger serves as a reminder of Lucas's vow to protect the ones he love.
