My Tomb Raider 1 Atlantis headcanons keep growing!

One of my headcanons is that all Atlanteans have a "formal name" (or “sacred name” or “Poseidon’s name”) given to every newborn by a priest of Poseidon. Each is based on one of Poseidon' attributes.

There are only eight of them and I ended up making them a bit like zodiac signs, with their own personality meanings and stuff. But they're not decided by date of birth of else you wouldn't need the priest. I haven't fully decided yet how they're chosen.

The formal name goes in front of the given name. For example my OC Kimsa Hetri enyt Diaprepq was named Hetri by her parents and a priest gave her the name Kimsa ("enyt Diaprepq" means "of the Diaprepes family")

Sooo... can anyone guess which formal name I gave Natla, Tihocan and Qualopec? (T&Q might be harder because of all the headcanons I have about them, but I accidentally made it so that there *are* actually some hints in TR1 too!)

Considering that Vilcabamba is a real life city once inhabited by the Peruvian Inca, it makes me curious about its depiction in the Tomb Raider games. I have three ideas that could potentially explain the entire ordeal:

There's only one Vilcabamba in the TR universe, and it's the one depicted in TR1, strictly ruled by Qualopec.

Aside from their coincidental name, there are two separate Vilcabambas that don’t have much of a connection to each other. However, it's possible they could share a connection; for example, the real life version might've served as a diversion for the one in the Andes as a form of protection against Spanish colonisation of the Americas.

There appears to be two distinct Vilcabambas, but they're actually connected in ways that've been lost to time (e.g. a labyrinthine complex of subterranean tunnels) and are awaiting rediscovery.

I'm leaning more towards the third idea or an excellently crafted combination of the second and third ideas. However, the first one I presented could also be plausible because there's definitely some significant alternative history stuff within the lore of Tomb Raider and its sequels.

Since I am a dumb bastard I worked on Dark Deception portals with my favorite characaters from Tomb Raider.

Don’t you dare tell me Avengers: Infinity War is the most bizarre crossover after that.

I hope I'm allowed to ask for fusions :o Fusion of Tihocan and Qualopec :o

Tihopec is here and he is severely overdressed for any occasion. (Except maybe for one of Heidi Klum’s Halloween parties.)

TOMB RAIDER DREAMCAST – anniversary, 2007. ↳ “ Good afternoon, Miss Croft. My research department has recently turned its focus to the study of ancient artifacts. And I’m led to believe that, with the right incentive, you’re just the woman to find them for me. This is a game you’ve played before; with your father. You both spent years searching for the Scion of Atlantis. All you needed was the location of Qualopec’s Tomb. How quickly can you get to Peru?. ”

Okay, I'm gonna do it! I'm actually gonna upload some art on tumblr again!

Let's start with the latest one because I love them. From left to right: Natla, Qualopec and Tihocan, as they appear in Tomb Raider 1. <3

I spent a lot of time staring at the FMV cutscene trying to figure out their clothes. I understand having them almost completely in shadows looks super cool and dramatic, but it's a horrible reference T_T I just used my imagination for some parts. Including T&Q faces, of course, but I've come up with those some years ago.

Oh and the second drawing - I had to, I think it's so funny they have to fit their hair in the hats (also I guess seeing them like this humanizes them more?)

I. Fricking. Love. Them. I have so many headcanons!
