How do you think the leaders of the Pharloom tribes (Carmelita, Khann, Nyleth, & the Princes) would act as Pale Beings? I’m trying to envision how they would react if they were put in the same situation as the Pale King and the Radiance (god facing mortality). I’m guessing that Khann would go the military-ocracy route, but I’m blanking on the others.
OOOH THAT IS SUCH AN INTERESTING QUESTION
Karmelita: I think she'd be pretty similar to in-game; her song is what gives the Skarrs their minds, and their focus, though they're a little more dependant on her. Maybe once she gets her taste of mortality, she'd begin to hide behind her people, singing in isolation instead of out in battle, afraid of leaving the Skarrs alone without her, leaving them directionless without her song.
Khann: As a Pale Being, I would think he grants strength to all those who swear their loyalty to him, turning the weakest bugs into strong warriors, albeit that he has their allegiance. He fulfills every weak bug's greatest wish; to be strong, to no longer be preyed upon. After encountering mortality, I think he turns into a bit of a dictator, demanding complete dedication, afraid that any less than that will lead to his end. Even going so far as to kill those who are no longer loyal.
Nyleth: Nyleth is a character that I don't have too much of a grasp on, but I'll do my best,,, I think her desire as a Pale Being is to cultivate a beautiful world of boundless beauty, so she grows a lush forest where everything can thrive. But as soon as she sees something that she cannot control in her perfect garden, like the Splinters, she panics, thinking her power is fading. So she pushes harder and harder against anything that comes into her realm, until she withers away.
Green Princes: God, this one is hard, because they were hit the hardest by Grand Mother Silk and the Citadel,,, Though maybe their encounter with mortality as higher beings would play out similarly to the game, where one tries to immortalize himself and fails and the other becomes depressed and apathetic.
I'm sorry if these answers aren't very thought-out, I kind of wanted to show what the fear of death would do to all of these leaders, and how they'd cope or respond :3
