Archon~ Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 So, I've made this topic to discuss the Golden Skinned Being, and primarily why Teridax decided to implement the idea of his creation into the group of Skakdi? I mean isn't this thing like extremely OP? Why would you want this independent being running loose in your universe? Anyway, I'd ask Greg, but i don't want to be a hypocrite hence I'll consult you people before. Plus, I'm not sure if Greg would quite remember the details of what I'm talking about. :/ 3 Quote Archon *** "For one to truly feel alive, the person must kill oneself a little bit each and every day."

The 1st Shadow Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I think this was asked before, and the Gregman said that it wasn't Teridax that gave them the idea.

Regitnui Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Honestly, it does sound a bit like 'generic superbeing'. I would appreciate it if it were some 'nice' Irnaxx (the Skakdi fear-demon), for whatever the warped Skakdi psyche considers 'nice'. 1 Quote Elemental Rahi in Gen2, anyone? A write-up for an initial video for a G2 plot I really wish everyone would stop trying to play join the dots with Gen 1 and Gen 2 though,it seems there's a couple new threads everyday and often they're duplicates of already existing conversations! Or simply parallel them with a slightly new 'twist'! Gen 2 is NEW, it is NOT Gen 1 and it is NOT a continuation. Outside of the characters we already have I personally don't want to see ANY old characters return. I think it will cheapen the whole experience to those of us familiar with the original line...

Mailli Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Wasn't the golden spined skakdi a part of Skakdi folklore? And never actually existed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regitnui Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Irnaxx was, initially. It was briefly brought to life by the Chamber of Fear in the Ignika's hiding place on Voya Nui. The Golden-Skinned Being is completely different, brought to life by tossing the Piraka and some other random schlubs into EP. 1 Quote Elemental Rahi in Gen2, anyone?

Chro Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Irnakk was a gold-spined Skakdi-looking thing from Zakaz's folklore, but the "Gold Fusion" was indeed something else entirely. So T1S, if it wasn't Teridax's idea, whose was it? Did a bunch of Skakdi just decide on their own to jump in a vat? 1 Quote save not only their lives but their spirits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pohatu: Uniter of Stone Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 For me, the Golden-Skinned being looks just like Irnakk and is the manifestation of him with extra powers. I don't like to consider anything from Sahmad's Tale or the Yesterday Quest canon, but that's just my preference.

Doctor Makuta Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Imagine if it came across a Skakdi having a nightmare and brought his nightmare to life and boom presto Irnakk comes to life. 1 Quote Tahu; Hau (x) Pakari (x) Kakama (x) Miru (x) Akaku (x) Kaukau (x).

We all figured it had to be Teridax, since his possession of the GSR gave him insight into the destinies of individual beings. But, apparently, that would be too obvious, so he stated that it was someone else entirely who came up with it.

It would make sense, since the only other person who might have that kind of insight would probably be Artakha, and I see no reason for him to want to do that. 1 Quote ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, having a being who can make anyone's inner desires a reality without questioning whether it's ethical or not would be of use to someone like Velika who wants to take over the world. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALVIS Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Ooh, I like it. That connects two adversaries that otherwise weren't related, streamlines the story without sacrificing depth or complexity, and heightens the dangerous likelihood of Velika taking control of Spherus Magna. Don't anyone ask Greg, because he'll say no and ruin it all! 1 Quote "You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion.

Quisoves Potoo Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Perhaps the Gold-Skinned Being is a ploy by Velika, "demonstrating" the dangers of the Great Beings' work. Velika defeats him, and, voila, he's gained credence and acclaim in one fell swoop.

Regitnui Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Ask Greg about that. It sounds really solid. Remember that the Gold-Skinned Being also defeated Annonna, which the GBs had been unable/unwilling to do before, hinting that perhaps Velika's intentions for the world aren't all bad... 2 Quote Elemental Rahi in Gen2, anyone?

Toa Malachives Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Though Velika seems to be the most likely choice, though others such as Karizzani, Tern Krom (very unlikely) or an insane Makuta could have done it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
