You ever think about the fact that Solus quite literally had to be reborn as the ruler of monsters. That's what the narration says.
And I find it so.. Fascinating how, whilst their Solus form has Omnisun foreshadowing (the tail) their Omnisun form doesn't look like Solus
Is foretold, is one way, I'm afraid. Foretold both by prophecy(canonically is why Solus Desert in n1 is named Solus, wild) and by their own Mother by her own assurance. And by the narration. Solus is the Ruler Of Monsters now. No more than a title, none more than what Omnicron was.
'Tyrant of Light' was at least theirs, ya know? A night time story they Likely heard. They can look like, with the correct avatar(the one with a reddish scarf and gold in their hair)
But Omnisun is just.. Omnisun. Doesn't look like the protag, not really. Doesn't even look like Nara anymore either, and if Nara is the "human" one, and thus represents that in her half of Solus' design, then it's like..
They threw it all away for the role, ya know? Almost their life too. No more Tyrant of light, Ruler of Monsters now. Just a title like any other
Already rambled about her before so here's even more(probably repeating) things with way less structure:
Ok so, I've said this before. But Volleyball is a team sport. You can't just be Good At Volleyball by being alone. Nuh uh. I mean you COULD, but if you have fans then it means tournaments and tournaments - means you need teammates.
It is entirely possible that Merida was like, this close to snapping all of their necks, but I like to imagine she had somewhat friends. Acquaintances more likely but that's still like. People she played with and didn't kill. And that counts for something!
It really does play into the "Merida is absolutely the closest to humans aside from Nara in n1 time period" thing I have, because I mean... My brain is telling me she has to be to some extent. It's volleyball. There's like a whole game about making relationships while you volleyball together.
I digress. Also I like to imagine that she can just. Surf on that board better than professional surfers? Even without all the Water Controlling Powers. She's just good at that but nah she likes Volleyball More.
Also her power doesn't involve just ice in n2 it's just that Souls doesn't know how to do anything and it was the easiest (cold location) and they never learned otherwise. They definitely WILL.
... Also it's so weird that her shrine spot is in the middle of nowhere. I love the "she sunk it" headcanon it's canon to me. She sunk that thing out of spite. Fight her.
Also maybe Omnicron can best her in water, but otherwise NOBODY can stand close to her power in her domain. Ulzar thought she's the weakest because he did drag her arse out of the water, that was like step 1,
Uh what else can I say without repeating.. Oh yeah! Her nightmares are just her having fans playing volleyball. Her siblings... Don't quite have that (Fenrir it's hard to tell but he still has authority if nothing else, Nadine even harder, but Grunda fights Remus and Zetta is.. Zetta..) . I'm telling you guys the closest-
Thoughts on the CoO other than Deena/Nara? Headcanons about them?
First of all I'll shove these asks your way
... I could've sworn I had another- oh I did. Anyway
Anyway, as for headcanons!
Omnicron sucks we hate Omnicron in this household, as such Grunda was definitely more of a parent figure to all of the CoO than Omnicron ever wishes to be
Deena killed Grunda(check the tags!)
Caring for young creatures was always within Grunda's personality, really. If not for Solus I'm pretty sure he would've ended up in a similar position (orphanage) some other way, life can be funny like that
Grunda spent a good amount of time during Omnicron Era sleeping. He is Omnicron's first and strongest child, but he's also lizard and deals with Battles too quickly so why not
He's genuinely mountain sized. Like, very big.
A little bit of a silly one but Ventra is far sighted, she can see close to her and she will not get any glasses or anything thanks, it's just uh... Blurrier
She may or may not like somewhat shinier things but that's none of your business honestly
She made humans afraid to look up at the sky, n2 confirms this. She was a menace and a half to deal with, Ulzar probably had to keep her on the ground to even stand a chance
Her and Deena were closer than you would think. Like, I like to think they shared rooms in the tower
I think out of everyone, watching for 1000 years did her the best, honestly. She needed the perspective desperately, and once she got it- she's no Zetta but she's.. Better.
Okay you know how CoO keep calling you rats. She's the only one(minus Grunda and Omnicron) who's seen a rat. The rest of the CoO heard her use that and went "oh okay if Nadine uses it then I will use it too". If you asked Merida or Deena what a rat is they'll blue screen
Fenrir made James(I call the Nexolord James) fill out so so so many arson forms. Fenrir, find better forms of entertainment-
Fona and Ulzar kept fighting each other for a really long time. Fenrir might have been the first or second to die by Ulzar as well
For the record, Fenrir did not know Deena was Nara in the cave. He had a suspicion (there was only one thing that could help those nexomon not fall under his aura) but he.... Didn't act on it
Merida(especially) and Nadine will make this man be social or I swear to Solus-
He always had... Something, for humans. Not positive, not what Deena had, not even what Merida has just... Some interest. He could've driven them out of that volcano in 5 seconds flat (in n1) but he... Didn't. He might also just not care to be fair-
In n2 he doesn't know what to do. Because Arson is off the table now with Solus. He has friends with Jin and Mulcimer it's just.. He won't admit it but he's mostly spent his time with.. Arson? And now he can't arson. And he's also anti social by default- but he'll figure it out
Deena<3 do I even need to say anything about her-
Her blood sprouts flowers. If there's even a speck of dirt onto what it falls on, anyway. Tundra has some neat red flowers which she has to get rid of in n2
She tried to at least talk to, maybe Grunda. Maybe Merida before betraying them. Not in full, she couldn't get the words to come out of her mouth, but she tried.. Sneaking around it
She couldn't watch Grunda die- not again. So she left in n1 during the Grunda fight. Just left, at some point. She couldn't see that again
She's probably part of the reason Blue/Iris/n1 protagonist is a ghost instead of fully dead
Deena kept joining and leaving the guild over time to not raise any suspicion
She kept tabs on Solus a little bit, she.. She had to. Never talking to them but keeping tabs
Merida was close. To switching sides, I mean. Omnicron disowning Deena strayed her away from it, but she was close.
Merida is actually somewhat good at Volleyball when she has ya know, a volleyball team-
Merida's the only one(in n1 excluding Deena) who spends more time in human form, even Zetta likes to go stretch up high where nobody can see him
She never really stopped playing Volleyball, even as a ghost. Well, it's been harder to concentrate for that long, but if her shrine is in Palmaya, I reckon she's played at least one game since then
She sunk her shrine. I don't know at what point or why, but she sunk that thing as far as she could. It's why there's no shrine for her, she just kinda... Sunk it.
Zetta loves his city a lot, like genuinely and actually. It's his and he's doing an awesome job.... Or well more like his best but he's trying!
She likes to sometimes pop up to Zetta's city. As Arqua of course, it's since stopped scaring people but it was funny when she did it the first time
During n1 I like to imagine he might've needed to give James' machines a bit of a kick start, because that's a lot of energy and Zetta's related to who he's reviving anyway
He sometimes likes to get into his serpent form and just do a huge storm to cover himself (because James said so otherwise he'd be a menace), and go around Aurelia. People were very confused where the storms kept coming from
Him and James are twins(or him and Merida whichever you like, he's a Twin regardless)
Speaking of, very close to James. He absolutely distracted him from his work but they're the two youngest siblings they can get away with it
Also he may or may not have bothered Amelie by like, cutting off her power before returning it like a minute later and such. Who knows.
Omnicron Era him and Nadine rarely worked together, really. You'd think they would but they're usually on complete opposite sides of the world, or there's too much of a height difference between where they're flying
The Nexolord is called James because I said so
I still believe my Omnicron soul theory but.. Otherwise, dressing up as his dad is kinda on purpose
Him and Malk are close though he'd rarely admit it, but Malk isn't fully human and enemy of my enemy is my friend so it's fine
I like to imagine James surviving wasn't pure luck, but I also don't know what he did to survive
James actually kind of likes having Glacia around but he'd never admit it(not necessarily in a romantic way!!)
He's actually really really lenient with his siblings (if ONLY SOMEONE WERE TO STOP MAKING HIM FILE ARSON REPORTS,), when he can be. He has on multiple occasions flat out lied about things so they're off scott free
He knows about the Nexoguard, however at this point, while he's this close? They can certainly try, but he's not feeling particularly threatened
Neither was he, with n1 protag. They beat up his siblings all they want, but they're not going to beat Omnicron, so they can certainly try.
He knew Deena was at the tower, read one of the linked posts above
He actually kind of likes sweet things? To hell with admitting that ever, though.
He had the most trouble with Fenrir's element because his ribbons countied to be set ablaze-
The reason the ship stops in the middle of the ocean is bc they're diving.
That's why they stopped. And then just went back. They went underwater. Because Abyssal Zone of the ocean or something (I KNOW it's too deep for humans bc pressure ok)
It's why Venefelis (originally) crawls out of the lake.
