First he eat his fish then he scratches his butt with the fruit he slingshots with?

crystal tapir
#

The face he's making makes it way worse.

#

Man. I can't imagine raku, pippa and peggy be together in one place. They'll destroy everything for sure. Rip Duskwood

fallen trellis
#

Oh yea I remember reading from somewhere that raccoons like washing their food before eating it

trail kite
#

that's a face of a rascal

dark heath
#

Kren is bastard energy but raku is just chaotic gremlin energy

trail kite
#

Raccoon and...

#

stinky Raccoon

#

vibe

spice mulch
#

Kren is a mouse thing

fallen trellis
#

Raku has pvp potential

lament meadow
#

kren is a pine marten/wolverine i think

civic geyser
#

Mmm yes

#

Also Mirael

#

She blows stuff up for fun

silk widget
#

Do you guys think we will have a union story for raku and peggy? Zaph and luc were released at the same time and they got their union story a few update later.

simple vine
#

probably

#

raku, peggy and pippa union

#

if it happens then i don't know where they gonna put rowan in

dark heath
#

I dont think raku, petra and pippa will be a union

#

Raku and petra are looking for pippa still

#

Thats why they left the castle

#

But maybe itll be like the lore for forsaken family and they get reunited in the union/their story gets resolved

#

Sounds unlikely tho

spice mulch
#

New VoW tho

#

The upcoming one

civic geyser
#

Mm

#

Maybe it's a Rowan and Peggy union

#

Then a separate one for Raku and Pippa

#

That way they keep the same faction element

#

Still trying to figure out how Row and Peg would interact, since one is running away and one is actively searching

#

Maybe once both realize they don't want to marry each other, they'll become friends aaand

Fall in love anyway

spice mulch
#

Maybe

silk widget
#

If i'm right, they have never met each other. Maybe love at first sight or eternal enemy

civic geyser
#

Hmmm, we'll just have to see

#

I can see them as rivals too considering their origins

Peggy is heiress to the throne of Esperia
Rowan is starting his own business to surpass his father

They'll be powerhouses

silk widget
#

My speculation is they eventually marry each other since Angelo knows the in and out of peggy's adventure.

civic geyser
#

Now what about Raku and Pippa

#

You think they would be a ship?

#

Im content with them as very good friends but like, they have a nice dynamic going on

silk widget
#

raku is all about pippa šŸ˜† ... dude doesn't care about anyone lol

silk widget
#

I feel so bad for Torne. He is so obsolete. He is not a meta hero, so not many players build him. And his lore is just all about himself, no interaction with other heroes. Plus he has no meat, so no one in here talks about him. Lol

dark heath
#

Its fine

#

GB has so many good heroes already

#

Torne can stay as clutch fodder

spice mulch
#

Torne torn to pieces lmao

spice mulch

Cruel

surreal merlin

that's bad

#

Sad Raccoon noise

dark heath
#

Ohhhh lmao

#

So thats where that gif is from

#

When i saw it i thought it was just ice block and the vid was edited to be faster

civic geyser
#

Trying to invest in him but the game keeps giving me Oden instead smh

#

I like his abilities too, it's just fun

dusky gyro
#

S/O to the peeps repping lesser talked about heroes idk the right word for that-

civic geyser
#

Significant other?

#

Oh, shout out

#

But yeah, fellow underrated hero users unite

dark heath
#

Lol i was confused

#

About that

indigo star
#

Ohh that's why Raku soaks his food!!!! He is washing it!!!!!

#

Thats so clever and cute

#

Listen, Lilith and AFK arena is what it is, a predatory gacha feasting on mental illness and dopamine rushes on their players, its basically all that Gachas are about, we know it

#

But its pretty sad when character design from a gacha is more interesting than character design from a triple A game company

#

So, So, So sad, Lilith's doing great with their character design and predatory microtransactions to overcome artificial and arbitrary gameplay walls

broken citrus
#

Take my simp money Lilith

#

Also more Aric artwork and lore please and thank you

Exactly!!!! Like, i'm willingly to pretend i do not see the 99999%%%% discount that goes on the hundred to a boost that makes me surpass a single wall as if money were so trivial

#

specifically made to predate on my mental unwellness

crystal tapir
#

This is why I'm hoping there's some kind of spin-off material eventually.

#

Even the characters that are aped from other franchises stand out on their own. (i.e. Vurk is a direct clone of Twitch from League of Legends in basic design and function, but they gave him a really endearing dynamic by giving him a brother to bounce off of and flesh him out.)

spice mulch
#

F2p tho

dark heath
#

Look at the shape of her torso clothing. The heart near the navel and the pattern/color of the stockings

crystal tapir
#

On the TV Tropes page, here's the "Expy" entries. I can't vouch for their accuracy, having not played their alleged source games.

• Belinda — Jaina Proudmoore (World of Warcraft)
• Lucius — Arthas Menethil (World of Warcraft)
• Niru — Necrophos (Dota 2)
• Shemira — Death Prophet (Dota 2)
• Thoran — Leoric (Diablo)
• Vurk — Twitch (League of Legends)
• Kren — Rocket Raccoon (Marvel)

#

I would also suspect Drez was a clone of Forsburn (Rivals of Aether), but that's a relatively obscure game, so that would be a stretch.

slim ore
#

there are like 12 characters and we just remake them

#

like every property just remakes them lmao

#

i don't get ppl being like "stolen" or "taken from" or "cloned" when none of the characters are original. like the archetypes have existed for centuries if not millennia

#

originality has been dead for a very, very long time when discussing these overarching things

#

well even when discussing more minor things but at that point u get into the nitty gritty and i dont wanna invalidate ppl who are rightfully upset about like art theft or smthn

#

but even in a minor scale, originality has long been dead lmao

#

like nobody in afk is a copycat of any other property except maybe the fucking bible or shakespere or whatever the hell else old-ass stories we base shit on nowadays

#

but then every property is a copycat

#

which isn't a helpful thing to say, but it's true if you're going to speak in terms of "originality"

#

so just don't compare them like that and appreciate them for just being what they are within their own worlds instead of "well this is taken from xyz game" as if xyz game didn't take from abc book which took from jkl play, etc. etc.

dark heath
#

Nothing is new under the sun, sure

#

Still, i have my doubts

gritty trail
#

I mean, technically there's some obvious comparisons that can be made, no doubt about that

#

But it's kind of too obvious to really care about in some sense

#

like Solise and Ahri being 2 things that are similar but different

#

Like yeah, it's there but does it really matter?

slim ore
#

my point is that it's the wrong comparison

#

it's not that solise is a copy of ahri, it's that they're both a copy of a bigger archetype/character trope

#

like the focus is on individual characters like any of them invented the wheel, as it were, when they really didn't, they're just that particular property's take on a preexisting character type

#

altho ur right in that it really doesn't matter lmao

#

it just peeves me to see people treat whatever bit of media they met first as the "source" of these things like that media didn't take from other shit, too. like everybody's a copy after like 7 ce

gritty trail
#

yep

dark heath
#

Pretty interesting letter/info from depths of time two

#

Throwing shade at LBs

#

Lmao

crystal tapir
#

I never said that being based on another character was a bad thing.

dark heath
#

I mean, its inevitable. Whether we know it or not we get inspired by media we see and know

gritty trail
#

just looked up Arthas Menethil, that's a really huge stretch ngl kHAHAsos
Lucius is based off a paladin

lament meadow
#

well it still sorta has that baggage to it nonetheless

#

like people think if you took obvious inspiration from smth they might assume its plagiarism, which in itself is pretty bad

dark heath
crystal tapir
#

I think this person added them for gameplay reasons, but I'm not entirely sure.

dark heath
#

This is so far from belinda man

crystal tapir
#

Like I said, never played WoW.

dark heath
#

Critiques are critiques, at the end of the day its inevitable one character will remind us of another

#

Characters after all are based on strong stereotypes

crystal tapir
#

Heck... My #1 favorite character in the game is one of the more blatant copyings.

dark heath
#

Like belinda as a typical 'kind female magic mage'

crystal tapir
#

And I don't even like League.

dark heath
#

Im pretty sure isabella is just a typical loli

#

Some dark magic loli based on animes

#

Anyway, lore!

#

I have yet to read petra and raku stories i was too lazy to read them when they got posted here

silk widget
#

Have you guy heard about the new mini AE event? I wonder whether it will have some kind of lores for the boss and the back story. I hope there will be some to fill our interest.

glass raft
#

Wukong being wukong either, like, in every game that have a monkey, it's Wukong, gales get inspired by each other and by local cultures, this isnt a New thing

indigo star
#

League's great

#

And when i mentioned Lilith's character's design being better than that of triple A companies, i was lowkey throwing shade at league

#

which today revealed the newest champion, Gwen

#

And she is atrocious

#

Like, every single AFK arena character is EASILY better

#

maybe nto all of them but like, 80% of them

glass raft
#

I agree

dark heath
#

Ive seen some character designs from league

#

Some of them are ok and then theres some like

#

Some characters dont even pass the silhouette test

indigo star
#

Well, its been 2 years league has been catering heavily to the same demographic of people who like generic, bland, sexy looking women, or edgy samurai men, and it has been like this since Aphelios, which was the last creative champion they made, ever since then its all been atrocious designs.

#

Makes me winder how betterdesigns would do if they castrated the EXECs that pass such terrible ideas

#

Cause the concept art is good, i imagine the execs who make the decision just look through dollar shaped eyes

#

And prefer to sell libido rather than actual creativeness

glass raft
#

Rip monsters & void stuff..

civic geyser
#

F

#

I always preferred monsterlike heroes

deep marlin
#

is any lore mentioned between them

bleak hull
#

Not that i know off, solise must of been in the noble tavern i assume

silk widget
#

Probably interaction in vow event. I also can't recall their meeting in any hero lore

simple vine
#

there was dolly's line before solise release

#

something like "i met a 9 tailed girl" or something

civic geyser
#

Probably tavern dialogue

#

Can't imagine Dolly in a VoW

#

Hehehe

#

Next playable Lightbearer: Dolly

#

Ult: draws ten summon cards, but they're all common. Throws them at the opponents and fills the arena with Dreafs and Sezis

crystal tapir
#

In other words, a better version of Grezhul.

Was Silas the one who experimented in Izold?

bleak hull
#

I havent read their lore but im pretty sure silas made izold or something

wooden trellis
#

Izold was an ex-Lightbearer war hero

bleak hull
#

Or experimented idk all ik is that it was silas

wooden trellis
#

His life went downhill and when he had nothing left to lose he went to the Graveborns

jaunty pollen
#

I'm very interested in zolrath's lore

wooden trellis
#

There he met a scientist who experimented on him and gave him his power

#

And also Silas in his story said to experiment with chemicals that boosted the body to it's full potential

wooden trellis
zenith gorge
#

Weren't thoran and grezhul lightbearers?

wooden trellis
#

Yes they were

#

Thoran was a loved ling and Ghezul his most loyal knight

#

Actually

#

Now that I think about it

#

I think all the Graveborn were once human

gritty trail
#

Well

#

Yeah

#

Except for Quadaem

#

Because he was originally a very weak spirit

zenith gorge
#

Baden was a Rayne, Vedan was a very wealthy nobleman, even kelthur was adopted by some nobleman.

where can i see the relationship chart?

i wanna see the relationship chart

gritty trail
#

The replacement God for Annih

wooden trellis
#

Annih was the demon realm?

zenith gorge
#

Annih is who ezizh references in his ultimate right

gritty trail
#

Because Annih abandoned his role as the god of death

wooden trellis
#

So a Shinigami

gritty trail
#

Annih is the one you see in the banner art in this server

wooden trellis
#

Ooooh

gritty trail
#

The Father of the hypogeans

wooden trellis
#

So the equivalent of Dura for Hypogean

lament meadow
#

ye

gritty trail
#

Yep

zenith gorge
#

Khazard was supposedly the predecessor for seirius iirc.

wooden trellis
#

Haven't read the stories of Celestial/Hypogean

gritty trail
#

Dura, God of life
Annih, God of death

#

You don't need to

#

Just look at the intro cinematic

zenith gorge
#

Yeah he was in fact the Guardian of the ocean before hand.

wooden trellis
#

What cinematic

gritty trail
#

The one you see when you start a new account

wooden trellis
#

When I made mine I didn't see any

gritty trail
#

Or just go to the AFK Arena YouTube channel to see it

wooden trellis
#

Ok

zenith gorge
#

So like the maulers are evil right

gritty trail
#

No

#

Moreso the outcasts

wooden trellis
#

No

#

Maulers were always fighting with humans

bleak hull
wooden trellis
#

But there was no one right here

zenith gorge
#

Maulers society looks pretty brutal from stories.

wooden trellis
#

Have you seen the Maulers in this Voyage of Wonders

#

They don't want that

bleak hull
#

The kingdom of bantus was during the time humans werent united as the lightbearers

wooden trellis
#

So long before time even had a name

gritty trail
#

Maulers are the way they are because they live in harsh environments and have to adapt to environments

#

Yeah before they were called the Ya iirc

wooden trellis
#

No

#

It was a joke

#

"Long before time even had a name, the first spinjitsu master created Ninjago"

gritty trail
#

It's true though, before the 4 factions was the Ya

wooden trellis
#

Have you read the story of Mehira

#

?

mossy parcel
#

We have, what does that have to do with mauler lore?

mossy parcel
# zenith gorge So like the maulers are evil right

And no, not necessarily. Summary is they were created by people but then put in a desert land, and are at war with lb. From recent balloons we know that lb are also taking resources from their land now

#

I'm probably leaving out a bunch of stuff

#

Wait they were originally Ya, but the Ya split into 2 groups, one became Wilders and other Maulers

#

stressedfera dunno how i forgot that

silk widget
#

I still remember a few months back when a lot of peeps in here didn't buy the idea that maulers and wilders were orginally the same race. Took me awhile to find evidence to back it up

Torne is a hybrid of 3 people

#

Cursed to be stuck together forever in pain

trail kite
#

hybrid of 3 people also scary skeleton

#

Me into That stinky archer man

civic geyser
#

I heard Torne and was summoned

#

Favorite heroes by design are Torne, Zolrath, and Skreg

#

Two monsters and a smol boi

#

Also the fb lore is starting to show ingame too, since characters in the depths of time vow mentioned that maulers were human before too

#

It's exciting

#

We need like, a GB appreciation day where the undead stop being in pain for 12 hours

trail kite
#

GB day...
we already have the October

civic geyser
#

Oh yes

#

Spooky month

#

Graveborn month

#

Just thought about it and

#

Hear me out

#

stitched mouth my favorite

civic geyser
#

Torne, Nara, and Mezoth singing You Are a Pirate

#

The whole squad sing while everybody rest

civic geyser
#

In day you have Skriath, Lorsan, Gwyn and Izold

#

At night you have sea shanties with the dead sailors

#

Summer skin when

#

If summer skin set have Ferael... I will roast the sh1t out of him

civic geyser
#

Ferael is skin and bone

#

Nothing to roast there

trail kite
#

He will be in a swim trunks and cry

#

because He want to be handsome

civic geyser
#

HANDS

trail kite
#

HANDSOME

civic geyser
#

He want to be HANDS

trail kite
#

not hand

civic geyser
#

AHAHAJCKSKS

trail kite
#

He removed his hands because his hand is stitched

#

Ferael: Take my hand if you like me
yeet his own hand

civic geyser
#

Lmao

trail kite
#

hot gb archer go shirtless and swim trunks
CRY ABOUT HIS APPEARANCE

civic geyser
#

Things not to say to Ferael:

May I ask for your hand in marriage?
Can you lend me a hand?
You were caught red-handed!
I wish to be your right hand.

trail kite
#

Yeet a whole arm

#

Eironn: can you meow?
Ferael: I can hiss or Bark

#

and hear your heart through your twinky body

civic geyser
#

"Look who's talking"

trail kite
#

height difference and opposite crap

#

Respen: Lied, You can meow and hiss as the same time.
spray water at him

civic geyser
#

That reminds me

civic geyser
#

People complain a lot about the nekomimis of AFK

#

Nobody talks about the slim handsome men, whether as wilders or literal corpses

trail kite
#

Respen is hot for his clothes

#

his clothes show some of his skin

dark heath
#

I say this is based because Torne deserves to suffer for eternity

#

He bought that curse upon himself

gritty trail
#

they just wanted treasure man rosalinesad

trail kite
#

they used to be pirate

civic geyser
#

Ngl Torne is probably better off in this state

#

If I had to suffer for eternity for a cool ass bone whip Id do it

#

Also he's actually pretty decent in pvp, if you can make him survive the 15 second mark

#

The man used to be my strongest gb. The only reason he isn't now is because Ive never received more copies anymore

distant tiger
#

Torne's design and animations are really nice. They are my third favourite overall in the game.

#

Like everytime he ultimates, I think of having ribs for dinner.

civic geyser
trail kite
#

also did you hear their japanese voice

distant tiger

#

i found male GB are interesting too

civic geyser
#

I haven't, I should check it out

#

Based on this convo, I have finally decided

#

Torne in a tuxedo

#

For the anniversary

#

If Izold can do it, why not him

trail kite
#

Female GB,... only Theowyn is my favorite

civic geyser
#

Shame we can't even see her face

#

Imagine crying 24/7. Those poor tear ducts

trail kite
#

She has seen too much

dark heath
#

She's probably ugly anyway

civic geyser
#

Ironically lore states she has a beautiful face even in death

#

She just has a dangerous case of PTSD

sturdy nova
#

In the lore he saved them, those are water containers he uses to wash before eating

dark heath
#

But in his fight animations, he grabs a fish from the bowl and eats it...

trail kite
#

Damn you Raku

#

pretty sure it is not a fish. Plus the tank is empty.

wooden trellis
#

Fishhh

zenith gorge
#

Was niru a LB before he died

spice mulch
#

Read his story

gritty trail
#

literally every Graveborn was something alive before they turned GB

#

hence the name

#

Grave born

#

Born from the Grave as a graveborn

wooden trellis
#

Crazy

crystal tapir
#

Every Graveborn so far has been a Lightbearer.

#

...Not counting my OC who was a Mauler.

silk widget
#

@zenith gorge were they human before turning into gb? Yes. Were they LB before turning into gb? Probably no. I think they were Lenu people, just like thoran and grez were.

crystal tapir
#

This is something I hadn't heard about. I just assumed "Lightbearer" covered all humans/dwarves/etc.

silk widget
#

@crystal tapir i've been pushing this notion in here that all lb are human but not every human is a lightbearer

crystal tapir
#

So what faction are the non-LB humans in?

silk widget
#

Some group of people just don't associate themself to any faction. For example, the native people that the dwarves have been fighting in chapter 27+ are not Lb, i believe

crystal tapir
#

The game counts them as LB.

#

Oh wait

#

Misread

#

So with that in mind, there are probably Ya who consider themselves factionless as well?

#

Come to think of it, that would probably be the fate of Mauler/Wilder hybrids...

#

...or for that matter, there are probably Human/Ya hybrids out there as well, since the Ya started as alchemically-modified humans.

silk widget
#

@crystal tapir very interesting. Ive never thought of that scenario. It would be dope to see a hybrid mauler/wilder/lightbearer. Wonder if that can happen or it would be considered taboo

crystal tapir
#

It would probably be taboo, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't happen anyway.

#

Forbidden romances and all that.

spice mulch
#

Most likely a wilder/lightbearer hybrid

crystal tapir
#

Yeah, that seems like the most likely scenario.

#

Just goes to show that, even in Esperia, there are probably furries.

dark heath
#

'probably'
I mean they have hybrids they definitely have furries

spice mulch
#

Honestly, I would like to see a mauler/wilder turned into graveborn

#

Just because

civic geyser
#

Yes

#

We do need that

#

Wilders might be difficult to have as gb since they're very close to one another, with a few exceptions

#

A mauler gb is definitely plausible though. A lot of death goes on there so it should be plausible that at least one of those corpses will be reanimated

dark heath
#

Nah

#

I doubt wilders will be turned to gbs because i feel like they live longer and theyre less brutal and less prone to violence

#

Wilders know gbs are bad

#

And as a whole, they know each other like one big family

#

While maulers are very 'dog eat dog' and 'only the strong survive' kinda people

#

Most gbs turned into gbs because they want revenge or like, eternal life or sum

#

Wilders dont show a want for anything other than protecting the forest and their friends

silk widget
#

And most Wilder only ever live in isolation, except for a handful of curious one, in Yggdrasil which is very faraway from where the kingdom of gb is.

bleak hull
dark heath
#

Thats true. But with the exception of shemira and daimon, izold, ferael, silvina isabella, baden (who were resurrected after death on purpose) most gbs died with a sense of vengeance or hatred
Kelthur died wanting revenge, nara, etc etc

#

Thoran grehzul

bleak hull
#

Shemira was aware of being resurrected

crystal tapir
#

And Silas planned it out ahead of time.

bleak hull
#

And i dont even know if isabella and vedan are even fully graveborns yet or ever

crystal tapir
#

If a Wilder got turned, it would almost definitely be involuntary. Probably one of the ones chained up to be sold in Rustport.

bleak hull
#

I think ik the reason theyrr arent many mauler and wilder graveborns

#

The work of the arcane is more commonly practiced by Humans then any other faction so it would make sense why more humans would be graveborn

#

By arcane i mean necromancy etc

trail kite
#

i agree with that

crystal tapir
#

Maulers probably would see necromancy as an act of cowardice, cheating the honor of death, and tolerate them about as much as Lightbearers do. (A headcanon which is pivotal to my OC's backstory.)

#

(She didn't study necromancy herself, she made a pact in a spur-of-the-moment panic.)

trail kite
#

Maulers meaning of death have two type
Death for honor and Coward death

bleak hull
#

Judging by most graveborns, being ressurected is either a gift or a burden

#

I mean unless it was your ambition for immortality who would want to be stuck as a walking corpse knowing youll see everything happen including outliving your loved ones

silk widget
#

There is also a whole island where some of the gb resides waiting for the day when they can find a way to lift the curse

trail kite
#

some can be free from the control

crystal tapir
#

Which one? You mean Esperance?

silk widget
#

@crystal tapir

crystal tapir
#

Oh right.

bleak hull
#

Esperance isnt primary in habited by graveborns i think

trail kite
#

island of banished

crystal tapir
#

Right, right. Esperance is just the one place where they won't kill you for being a necromancer.

bleak hull
#

When Fawkes was being used in that necromancers ritual was he gonna be turned straight into a graveborn or?

crystal tapir
#

I admittedly haven't read Fox's story.

trail kite
#

Fawkes still have that paraside hand

silk widget
#

@bleak hull due to his special physics he was meant to become a sacrifical item for that necromancer's ritual

silk widget
#

What that necromancer wanted to do with fawkes was not very clear. The blood magic ritual seems to have different outcome based on the lores of other gb heroes. For example. Vedan killed people for their blood to perform his blood ritual to transform him into a graveborn.

trail kite
#

sacrifical ritual

silk widget
#

And in fereal lore (cn version is different than the eng verion), fereal was in a coma after battling with the mauler and the necromancer named gila hypnotized him and made him believe he was in love with her. The reason she did that is cuz she needed the heart of a truly lover for her blood ritual. In this case, gila used ferael as a sacrificial lamb for her blood ritual, but ferael still turned into a gb after the ritual.

#

So it's unclear whether the necromancer wanted to transform fawkes into gb or just wanted to use him as sacrifice

trail kite
#

sacrifice

dark heath
#

We love lore inconsistencies

#

/sarcasm

silk widget
#

Isn't inconsistency great? We basically got 2 lores for one character šŸ˜†

civic geyser
#

Hm

#

Niru played the smart game

#

Don't have to outlive your loved ones if you make them immortal too

#

Torne willingly put himself into suffering because one of his heads was like "Oh, I have an eternity to come to terms with what I hate most."

But being stuck to two other guys forever seems like quite the task

dark heath
#

They hate each other, F

civic geyser

Adrax as a playable hero? I'll dig that

adrax doesnt sound like someone i would like lore wise

I'm afraid of that

Adrax seems better off in the backlines of lore like Ansiel or Fortuna

#

The Sirens are a type of half-animal graveborn, and may make an appearance

#

I think they should be wilder? Since Aiya guards over the green people

civic geyser
#

Probably

#

Ocean creatures like Seirus and Gorvo seem to affiliate with Wilders

trail kite
#

Sirens sound like a "Wilder/Graveborn"

distant tiger
#

Yeah, according to Chinese lore Aiya is the guardian of the Wilders. And her blessing prevents them from turning graveborn. So I'm assuming it should be wilders.

civic geyser
#

Woah

#

Something that prevents people from becoming gb

distant tiger
#

The sirens are supposedly a form of Graveborn that appear to be transformations of a long-extinct amphibious species. Many doubt their existence, calling them mere legends, as most amphibious species are blessed by Aiya, which should make them impossible to bind with necromancy.

From the FB lore

trail kite
#

the sirens that being blessed by Aiya cannot become GB

#

while the other can become GB

distant tiger
#

I think it means that all amphibious species should not be able to be GB.
But the Sirens are.

Comic where

distant tiger

Is she? From the Chinse lore she sounds like a different person, specifically in charge of wilders.

distant tiger
#

bangs head on wall

silk widget
#

@distant tiger yes, i'm sure she is dura.

civic geyser
#

Oooof

trail kite
#

because Cn lore have something that Eng lore didn't have

silk widget
#

Aiya, aya or dura is the reason that the wilders exist. She created the dusk wood and formed a barrier around it, then she let a wilder known as "vaduso" its whereabout and tell him to lead the first batch of wilders to this place and they survive in the duskwood to this day.

#

Dura also gave the wilders 'jungle blood' just like she gave the mauler their "bloody will". Jungle blood gives the wilders the ability to connect with nature and thus most wilders have an affinity to nature magic like solise able to control flower, lorsan able to control wind

civic geyser
#

Hm

#

I just noticed. Yeah, all of them have control over a natural element

#

Well, maybe not Kaz but she sneaky

#

Something the wilders have is that they always know where to go in the forest and where exactly a problem lies. Look at Raku's lore

trail kite
#

mother nature instinct

#

and mind

silk widget
#

Can we say Dura is the savior of human race but she is also the source of the problem that caused chaos in esperia? Without her quaedam wouldnt have been able to reborn and create a whole gb kingdom, and thr god of death annih wouldnt have been that jealous and created a bunch of dangerous hypogean to wreak havoc in esperia

civic geyser
#

Maybe

#

But Id say it was incidental

#

She was just good to a fault

silk widget
#

Yeah. Maybe everything need to be in balance. Too much of something, even if it's good, will probably cause harm

No one is perfect

even Dura herself

that's including Belinda lore

In a gb society, you dont need a healer

silk widget
#

Necromancers can still make use of gb healer's ability

crystal tapir
#

I have my headcanons about healing magic and Graveborn.

#

Namely, that they'd need it more than anyone else due to having lost the ability to heal on their own.

#

Broken leg? They may not feel it, but the leg's still broken, as in no longer works. They'd need to turn to either magic or superscience to fix that, or the leg will stay broken for eternity.

silk widget
#

Or transfer their soul/spirit to another vessel but i don't know they have the ability to do that, or perhaps only the higher rank can

#

@crystal tapir have you created any gb oc?

crystal tapir
#

Her name's Fuma, and she was a Durri in life who panicked and made a pact with a necromancer after a disaster due to an overwhelming fear of dying.

silk widget
#

@crystal tapir oh i've seen this one before. He looks kinda like drez without the mask

crystal tapir
#

As a note, she isn't related to the playable durri; she's just the same species as Skreg/Vurk/Drez/Kren.

#

As for the healing magic discussion, it probably has limits. Like, in order to heal something, it probably has to still be there to heal. If Fuma could ask someone to magic her left eye back (something she's extremely insecure about), she gladly would, but it would be futile.

and LB next generation with some dark magic

civic geyser
#

It took mine like, several hours

#

Future Maulers are probably much tamer

#

Im guessing they're either making peace with the LBs or going under Anoki and Skriath's unified tribe

#

With a few exceptions

rugged bone
#

if anything mauler tribes are probably under Skriath's dominion but I could see the land of the exiles is probably gonna fester into it's own faction obsessed with the "old ways" except instead of tribes it's possibly pure anarchy or some kind of gang war

#

or Skriath goes full IMPERIALISM and decides the only way to keep his tribal unity strong is conquest and annexing other lands

civic geyser
#

Lmao

#

Lore-wise currently he seems to be mostly diplomatic but I can see him toughening up into a more proactive leader

dark heath

There definitely are some tribes that are independent

Its like, all humans have wants and desires, and rowan's desires was getting too much and out of hand in his mind/dream self, so tasi and pippa had to help with that

What the heck..

#

Why are you looking for a loop hole yr call a 15 yr old character a milf??

trail kite
#

that's not Satrana
that's just some Mauler woman

#

They're not going to make new sprites just for a vow

wanton owl
#

is Canada part of Esperia?

bleak hull
#

No but if you look at the west you can see northern ireland

slim ore
#

hey so! vow is using satrana and warek as stand ins for mauler folk

#

same as rosaline and hendrik, and whoever else shows up

mossy parcel
#

Rowan, Drez, Brutus, ect

#

Only character that would've actually been themselves was Zol right

slim ore
#

yeah

mossy parcel
#

And Ezizh I think

#

They were both addressed by name

misty hedge
#

mirael as a pretty girl in vow belinda

slim ore
#

idk abt ezizh

#

i think ezizh was random hypo

mossy parcel
#

Oh?

#

Memory bad ahdhsh

slim ore
#

in any case, it's important to pay attention to names

#

because lilith -- and other games -- will reuse assets which means they aren't necessarily the character in lore

mossy parcel
#

#

Like I said, they wouldn't just design a new character, make official art for them, and only use them for a balloon. It's much more simple to just reuse

sir could you explain how you got to this conclusion

Hello

Canada fake, esperia fake

Canada may not be part of esperia but taiwan is šŸ˜†

#

lightbearers racist, give updoot

#

yes i like maulers how did you know

bleak hull
#

With the term "racist" in espiria its most likely racism towards maulers and wilders in general

dark heath
#

Pretty much.

trail kite
#

Graveborn too, don't forget that

distant idol
#

i tolerate the maulers, but- wrong server

also... Esperia is medieval fantasy setting

Or around that

#

oh

#

Sorry for being a goof

#

So Graveborn isn't a Race

gritty trail
#

Yeah it's moreso a "state of life"

trail kite
#

Graveborn is an alternative state of dead

gritty trail
#

well

#

yeah

#

same difference kHAHAsos

spice mulch
#

I still want a wilder/mauler turned into graveborn

bleak hull
#

There probably are just not in game ones

yes, with a top hat

That's not even "around", that's over a thousand years off.

#

even if so i was just giving a rough guess besides them having a completely different beginning to civilization would make thier timeline almost no at all to be referenced its just as it is

alpine barn
#

So, there's a piece of artwork in the anniversary gallery that shows the graveborn fighting on the side of Annih

#

Is that canon, or was the artist taking liberties there?

#

All the lore I've read seemed to say they mostly kept neutral, aside from being persecuted by Lightbearers

gritty trail
#

I assume artist liberties

#

Graveborn have never really been depicted to side with Hypogeans, lore-wise

languid panther
#

Yeah I think they just made the art to look cool.

#

I like GBs because they're just. Sad and kinda left out of whatever else is going on.

distant tiger
#

According to the lore, the dead should have been Annih's responsibility. But he ran off and kinda dumped them? So they started coming back to life because of this guy called Quaedam.

civic geyser
#

Well

#

They're bad, but not like, bad bad

#

Team Rocket level maybe, since it depends on who's being resurrected

trail kite
#

like GB are the neutral type, either bad or good

#

or just neutral

civic geyser
#

Look at Daimon

#

You can't call that rolling ball of sunshine evil

#

But Torne

#

That's another story

gritty trail
#

They're mainly neutral, but most against the living itself.

trail kite
#

Graveborn have some conflict of their own

#

like Thoran and his brother Edwin

languid panther
#

I kinda like that instead of the undead being firmly evil.

trail kite
#

they're not evil, they have their own standards

languid panther
#

Most of them are just doing their own thing. Very girlboss of them.

trail kite
#

good gb, like the Forsaken Family and... Baden

languid panther
#

Im mad that the english translation makes Baden still under the lichs control when the original chinese lore says hes free. I only knew of the english one before lurking in this chat.

trail kite
#

Baden is a free GB, and good too, it's just his body is GB

#

but his mind is a normal person

languid panther
#

Normal might be questionable after having his mind lived in rent free by an evil wizard lol

#

So whats Grezhuls deal after killing Edwin cause he buries the king and like. Then what.

spice mulch
#

Someone resurrected Edwin

languid panther
#

Oh okay I guess I havent read that yet. Also in Isabellas story it talks about her and her GB sister almost starving after being driven out by the village and I didnt even consider GB have to eat.

gritty trail
languid panther
#

Okay I went back and read Thorans story idk how I missed that. How does anyone get anything done in Esperia when people just randomly rise from the dead lol

quasi wedge
#

did isabella even die

silk widget
#

@languid panther there is a lot of inconsistency between cn and eng lore.

gritty trail
languid panther
#

The story is kinda confusing, like shes watching her family die and then awakens as a GB but it doesnt say shes dead.
