Betweenford christened "Oric The Awesome?" That doesn't sound likely, what rhymes with awesome?
I meant Thief, Eye, Sinful, Traitor, Target,Voice, and the Mechanic.
My theory is: The Voice being a Decoder, decodes the Angel signals, and decodes the 'CodeNames' for each Sibling; telling Oric the names, and Oric thinks they are catchy, so he keeps them.

Screw it, I'm sticking with "Blue Chick is Oric in drag" because that's hilarious to me.

Are we certain it was a chick? We don't have a great track record for guessing genders.

I dunno, get Al close enough and see if his finely tuned senses tell him to hit on "her" or not?

Yaos said he came to the Warrens to learn about and acquire new and powerful weapons and armor I think.
he came to the Warrens to look for A powerful weapon.

He came for Oversoul; which was described as a weapon sought after by kings.
Quote
A power sought out by evil rulers and corrupt dictators for millenea. One time-wrought eye gives life, another takes it. Total control. Total domination. Total and complete power.
This translation also says that a life must be given, in order for another to take it.
I've been saying the Oversoul was of plot relevance for awhile.

Also: If Oric isn't the Warden from the Prologue Flash Game; he at least Overthrew the position of the last Warden
Just a thought:What if the Titles for every sibling was decided by the "Angels" and not the Siblings themselves...
I think there is something about the exposition on the Oversoul that we might have over looked...

Oh look, I have a steam account.
Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

That could be why we have seen some eye-based enemies.
Modeled after the Oversoul.

There's an aesthetic clue to the current topic in the game, but it's very subtle and I only expect monk12 to find it in his readthrough binge (if anyone does). No one has found and posted it for theorycrafting usage so far.

Sorry again the update's taking so long. On the other hand, my RPG is moving faster than ever :P

Hmmm.... An aesthetic simmilarity? For theorycrafting? Relating to Oversoul?

This is when Ciro is reborn




That's right! Your name is Ciro the Reborn. You are a female Blood Mage. You gain some class-appropriate torsogear to compensate. Actually... you're not sure this is really appropriate. Shouldn't it have blood symbolism on it?

Those symbols on her shirt align with the Soul stars, and during Oversoul, they glow white.

I'm pretty sure we all knew that already, but I wanted to throw something out there.

Combine this with my previous theory on how the OS is hitching a free ride on our consciousness, in order to escape.

Sorry if this has been posted before, but... That spherical thing with the antennae in the greens kinda looked like a closed eye, and the ground under it had very similar markings to the pattern on the eye guardian that was watching Cain, as well as the oddly patterned void int the dungeon floor. The phrase "one eye brings death, the other life" is in my head, but I'm *really* tired and can't find it here right now.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

I think that may be just a coincidence.

I think that may be the first time that sentence has been said in this thread.

Maybe the first time for that sentence but not for that sentiment.
