Casus Belli Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 At first, I thought that it was somehow Post-Scratch Earth, but then I saw the JPEG-Artifact-ified Statues of Liberty, and I was like, "Wait...".The Cherubim are a pretty curious subject. However, they'll probably add the list of things to expect, though. They're a nice change from video games that cause the apocalypse, teenage demigods, alien bee people, outlandish self-inserts, Cue ball headed creepers, and skull headed Hulks in suspenders (maybe not the last part) for now, though.

dotcom Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Relevant. I don't get why people call them cherubim. I mean yeah, it's one the plural forms, but the narrative refers to them only as "cherubs." Is it just because the wiki calls them cherubim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casus Belli Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I don't know. It's what other people do.Darn, that mentality was what got Dodos extinct.Anyway, it peeves me about how people speculate about how uu will grow up to be LE, or something to that effect. I mean, is it really that hard to remember that Doc Scratch was created in the post-scratch Troll session by the session's Black Queen as a combination of Lil' Cal, Omniscient Cue Ball (or whatever that thing was called) and the "tick tock break heads" code, right? Now, it's certainly possible the cherubim/cherubs have something to do with LE, but the fact of uu being LE is more unlikely than not.

HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 The mentality that got Dodos extinct was "This bird - I like it. Another!"(aka, they were too delicious for their own good)I agree that uu probably isn't LE, but the obvious facial similarities raise the question of how many of their species there are, and also whether LE happens to have someone else sharing his creepy body.

BenLuke Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) My personal theory is that the cherubs come from the universe created by the post-scratch Kid's session, hence why there's that green book thing with the stuffy happening with the rest of caste there.I'm probably missing something important that makes this really unlikely, but blah.

Casus Belli Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) You are. The post-scratch kid's session the "void" variant of the "doomed" type of session. It will be easier for the Heroes,who are now "tragic Nobles" (as per the wiki) since one (or possibly more) kernelsprite(s) was not prototyped prior to the player(s)'s entry into the game, but because of that, the Battlefield will not be able to prototype to its final stage, thus making the session worthy of it's "void"/"doomed" name. As a result of the pseudo-prototyped battlefield, a universe will not be formed.

dotcom Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I'm afraid you're wrong. In a Void session there are no pre-entry prototypings whatsoever. A normal Void session would yield no results, as the Battlefield would be left in its first stage.This is not a normal Void session.The pre-scratch Kids' planets are being added to this session, including the 4xprototyped Battlefield. B2 CD already blew up the session's Battlefield, so the pre-scratch version can take its place. The goal here is making a new universe. Also, about uu/LE: English is not Scratch. English was summoned at the end of A2 and he burst out of Scratch. The Doc was made with Cal and the cue ball. English was not. We plain don't know what the deal is with Lord English. I can't see any reason why we'd be introduced to the cherubs unless it's Lord English's origin story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His genetic code was derived from the Team Charge's "t1CK t0ck" code, Team Scurge's "8r8k H34DS" code, and the "honk HONK" code from the ~ATH book code, also.

dotcom Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) The t1ck t0ck 8r8k H34DS honk HONK code is just the A2 version of the First Guardian code. Scratch's body was Cal+Cue ball, infused with FG powers, much like Bec was Halley with the A1 code (MEOW) and G-Cat is some cat with the B2 code (BARK).Unless that's what you're saying?

Since that is a paradox, almost like dividing my zero, the Kernelsprites collapsed in and formed a black hole.As for the name Caliborn, it's from an archaic form of Excalibur.

Scary stuff. ._. i think they mightve just had second thoughts or something. 10k is a lot to pledge for something as superficial as making a fan character canon in a webcomic (even if said comic is rapidly gaining recognition outside the internet), especially since that was the only thing different between that and the $405 pledge. tbh i really dont think hussie actually expected people to spring for the 5k or 10k and i definitely dont think he expects people to go for the god tier onesanyway i am super proud of the fandom right now like gosh so much passion it makes me glad to be a part of it aaaaaaaaedit: apparently someone trying to pledge 10k but backing out earlier wasnt actually a thing that happened? but its on the site now, someone is legit pledging 10k Edited September 6, 2012 by Mentos Strawberry Quote bionicle is trans culture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
