Armok
« on: November 03, 2009, 03:48:50 am »

Now, "Armok: God of Blood" is generally considered to be a euphemism for "You: the Player". He doesn't actually exist in-game, which means that he has no real in-game associations.

But on the forums, he seems to have picked some up here and there. Magma is sometimes referred to as Armoks blood. Bauxite is often featured prominently in his temples.

I suggest that we flesh out our deification a bit. For example: Magma is frequently considered Armok's blood. This makes Magma Pipes his arteries.

Flux stone is obviously Armok's subcutaneous fat, while Bauxite is the tunica adventitia tissue that contains his blood. Obsidian is mearly the cholestrol deposits that line the arteries.

I would assume blood to be his blood.

You imply that Armok is the planet. This is quite obviously wrong. He is the Universe. The planet is Armok's eyeball and the sun would be an annoying rash in his private region, which would also explain why he wants everything to die.

Armok doesn't have any blood. He only has other people's blood, which is usually blood.

He is the Universe.
He creates new universes on his every whim. He definitely isnt an universe.

Armok is Armok, there is no greater thing to call anyone.

Oh, good. Stick out your tongue for a second. Okay, say "Aaah." Hmm. Okay, now stand on this scale for me. Good. Fine. Right. Okay.

*Armok opens his mouth, and a demonic tentacle comes out. A recording of Glacies saying "Aaah" is heard*

*Armok steps on the scale, it shows the square root of -3*

Ah, these are interesting results. I'll be over here in my lab gibbering to myself.
Dwarves are his white blood cells, elves are an annoying rash, humans are the normal cells, and goblins are a disease the dwarves are fighting off. Magma is his blood, and a 1/7 unit of magma is a red blood cell.

Well, we told him not to go with that girl. But would he listen? I told him: Fertility goddesses don't use protection, you don't know what you'd get. But oooh no.

And Kobolds are probably specs of random matter bouncing off of the inside of his veins, until a group of white blood cells arrive with axes to remove its electrons. Or limbs.

When I think of "Large, valuable sphere full of blood-letting demons, with little offshoots", the thing I can best relate that to in a human body is cancer.
