As of right now we assume all the characters they showed are playable, but I think there is also a very good possibility that some of the shown characters, I.e. storyteller and sunbringer. Could actually just be villains for the season in the same way the a 2.X teaser showed Sarah and the Exaltis.
This came up cause Phoenix looks to be the same way as her.
If you don’t, why?
So we all now know that pyrois is the new “power” that we will be getting in 3.0 and now that we see their design I have a theories on them.
That being they are a VH weapon, and by extension MC are also VH weapons.
First pice of evidence is they have a sword, as all known VH weapons are swords from different cultures. We also know that the other 2 weapons house spirits that can manifest themselves.
Another piece is their color and arm design. In another post someone compared pyrois to creator Shara and they have strikingly similar designs on their arms while also having white armor.
Some other pieces are how our MC’s time line doesn’t match up right and how easy it is for us to manipulate Ether.
This is just some fun speculation about 3.0 and I can’t wait to see what they do with this.
I know that paths can exist without a aeon, we see that clearly with Veracity, Propagation, and Trailblazer. But this question has me think about how paths and Aeons relationships actually work leading to 2 prominent possibilities.
The simpler one of the 2, is that paths exist before Aeon. Being that Aeon of broader path can absorb other it would lead to the idea that anyone can be on a path but then obtain broader understanding of that path and become a aeon Absorbing that original path.
However the more fun answer is that Aeon are the one that make the paths. This leads into a separate idea of how path space works. As we know it is outside of the normal flow of time, what if all the aeon are the only aeon. Let me clarify a bit, given time is nonlinear for Aeon, that would mean that their moment of accession happed instantaneously when the universe was first created. Their “birth” is just the moment in the normal flow of time where they did ascend. This would explain why the paths exist after a Aeon is dead, as the aeon is neither dead or alive in the first place.
This assumption is supported by Fuli’s existence. As we know they will only be born at the end of the universe but still presence in the current time.
This could also mean that some aeons we know about are also not born yet. The two biggest that could be the case are Aha and Akivili. It would make sense that AHA’s ascension is cause by them selves.
While Akivili could be very well be the aeon the Trailbzer could become.
While I know Screwllum should win in terms of sheer numbers, but I wonder how Screwllum would handle youkai as he functions and has the same philosophy as Rupert.
