I investigated the real-life location of AO

given that it’s just a ton of docks plastered onto rocks i doubt there’s much. i was gonna say Venice because of the dip into water but i doubt that’s the case cause… they look completely different.

can we get a Venice-based place though please :pray:

a slice-of-life arc where we just chill and decompress would actually be kinda cool imo. no Order, no Chaos, no Ravenna, no Warfare. just peaceful seas and a beautiful scenery.

he could’ve pulled a Rayleigh and walked there (since he can’t swim.)??? idk but he’s a curse user and in AO we haven’t seen the full extent of a trained Curse User’s power so it’s worth thinking about.

(not seriously advocating just making a jokey suggestion)

under that same idea i’m actually kinda curious if he has any connection to the Tears of Gaia item. though they seem kinda… opposite given that it’s poisonous vs. his growth. probably not but it’d be kind of cool.

damn alright. maybe some sort of flashback in the future (please vetex i beg of you.)

JUST QUICK LITTLE THOUGHT. what if we went back to the Durza/Acheron vs Theos fight as a flashback for some lore reason and we actually played as Theos (phoenix curse and all). idk it’d feel immersive, it’d be show don’t tell, and it’d be pretty cool.

wtf is that clothing :sob:

i’ll be doing that i have a sick ass visual in mind and i’m keeping it that way

tf? and he became murderous and whatnot at that age? god damn

42

I know his outfit is so shamefuuuuul :sob:

And I’m not actually sure if he was 12, that’s just a guess, I know he was probably a minor though.

43

“i’m a 12 year old and i have no magic :sob: oooo a cube! teehee i’m gonna touch it! oh wow i can absorb people’s magics now! woahhhhh i’m gonna destroy the entire world!”

i think i haven’t read up on lore in a minute

44

That’s accruate.

45

no that’s pretty much it, though acheron didn’t really want to destroy the world, they just wanted more magical power

46

Oh right yeah, he destroyed the world because he wanted to kill Theos with it too.

47

no, he was just aiming for theos, but missed and accidentally made the planet explode

48

Well if he hit anything it would have killed the planet.
It’s not like hitting Theos would mitigate the world bang

49

:muscle: i’m just like that

oh. that makes more sense

did he see a butterfly or something :sob: didn’t it erase like 80% of the population and also cause things like the Dark Sea and the weird island layout? how do you miss THAT badly

50

Theos can fly, and most of the magics have less than 1x speed, so it’d probably be a big slow ball running right at an avid dodger.

51

theos woulda tanked it for the world

52

this timestap seem accurate?

53

Actually there is something important to consider:
The sun in AO raises in the south and sets in the north (I could have that backwards 50/50 chance)

This means either the sun is rising in a different place OR that the magnetic poles got messed up

54

durza when he did a bit of trolling knocked the planet off its axis, meaning the earth is sideways now
