Oh yeah... Maybe we leech power from them when we Oversoul.
It was one of the Theories they leech from our charge, so it serves them right if they get weakened

I vote we go south since that's the direction the other two fell.  This is a 2d world, right?

Wow, I finally got to this point of the present, this story is really beyond amazing.
As for re-uniting with Riltia and Al, we should really head back to the underside, as it makes the most sense
Clearly, that was an obvious trap and it's not going to lead to where we would obviously go first, we need to do more exploring, and fast.

Somewhat off topic, but hey Freeformschooler, remember Ursula from Bay12RPG? I wonder if she could be put in an update sometime as a cameo?

Just to help with the IllBorn theory, and how they got their souls ripped out.

Ah, yes, that project. Did it ever get somewhere?

We're not sure how reliable that is, but more importantly that's referring to mercenaries, not Illborn. Slog just happens to be both because he's both a monster and available for hire.

Alrighty, time for some Wild Mass Guessing! Except, you know, I don't really have any good theories for 1, 3, and 4, but here's my shot at number 2. I'm pretty sure all of these have been said by somebody else at one time or another, but I don't know as they've all been put in one post together, complete with citations.

As Toaster mentioned, I don't think we're trying to identify all the Siblings, only "the Soul Stars we've seen so far." However, it's worth mention that apart from Ciro's Soul Overcharge, we've really only seen THREE Soul Stars to be able to name them- Astral Influx, Reverent Savior, and Illborn Exchange. We saw five symbols during the Overcharge (adding yellow lightning and red hammer), and the Sinful Intermission added the Voice and the Eye for Seven total Siblings. Presumably each Sibling has their own Soul Star, and I've done my best to give an identity to every Sibling, but we could be looking for either three, five, or seven owners depending on whether the symbols during Overcharge and/or Sinful Intermission count as seeing a Soul Star.

Of note, although we've seen the inventories of Riltia and Proxxy, neither possess a Soul Star- at least, neither have a Soul Star object that takes up inventory slots like the Astral Influx and Illborn Exchange. Maybe it's a Magi Madoka thing where their Souls are still inside them whereas the inventory-occupying Soul Stars Astral Influx and Illborn Exchange are both (perhaps the only two) physically separate/separated from their original owner.

Given all that, my classification incorporates Name, description, and association on Sinful's list for full identification. Three can be fully identified, two more are educated guesses, and the final two are only seen in the Sinful Intermission.

Minor Edit: Proxxy gets her Soul Star out of storage the same turn that Cherish checks her storage.


:P Very good theory. I did a pretty extensive proof on Ciro, Rilita, and Proxxy's Soul Stars. But I also tried to point out the lack of definitive proof on the other two. The fact there is barely any proof on the Red Star is probably the reason for not having it yet, but I forgot about the Hammer symbol being on the telepads. But I think finding proof for the red star and Illborn Exchange can be the only real slip up. And somehow I wonder if the definitive proof on Illborn Exchange requires us to look at the Chief a bit closer in his appearances. I mean he had the Star and gave it to Al. Even more why did he give it to Al? Did it have something to do with the fact that Al was currently selected by Astral Influx? BTW, Astral Influx's name make's me wonder if its purpose is somehow more significant than that it changes the player character. Astral in flux. Astral as in astral projection. Flux as in change. So it does exactly what it says on the tin. But Astral seems to imply that Ciro's consciousness should follow the change. Which basically means that Ciro's Star allows him to affect others. In fact control them, which could be represented by us taking control of whoever is currently selected.

The only exception is the Sinful intermission and the GM did say he didn't like the idea of changing perspective without the Astral Influx, but that it was unavoidable.
