2022-10-07 16:08:26 +0000 UTCIt could be that the souls of beings in the previous world were amalgamated together to form the skills that are currently used in Elatra. It wouldn't surprise me for that to be the case, given the gods behaviors that we have seen.

2022-10-07 04:20:07 +0000 UTCI still remember the scene in the mystery house were Rob denied the universe to remember valances name loved it so much

2022-10-06 17:09:01 +0000 UTCNo, I just checked and the one in the office was named Reynold. The other commenter is correct; Valaire was the one in the mystery house.

2022-10-06 14:36:57 +0000 UTCValaire!? From the earlier version of Elatra? I may have to read the Merfolk territory chapter again. Is it a name chosen in honour? Or is Valaire the soul of Diplomacy, having been chosen to embody a skill for the new world, at the end of their old world. I can't wait! Great chapter! Great character building!

2022-10-06 09:05:46 +0000 UTCholy heck, the love-hate relationship that i have for cliff-hangers that imply some shit is about to go down is strong with this one. Valaire was the one in the office telling the other Human to go ahead with their Project what's-it-called, the one (i think) was codename for the Cataclysm. Could Valaire have had the highest Diplomacy level pre-Cataclysm? Or was their soul or part of their soul somehow plucked from somewhere and used as a base for Diplomacy for everyone?

2022-10-06 05:49:35 +0000 UTCBecause if Rob has been female, they would have assumed she/her. They/Them traditionally is used to refer to hose with undefined pronouns ("I was talking to my sister's doctor, they're pretty knowledgeable")
Raphael Mort
2022-10-06 05:15:54 +0000 UTCCorrect me if I am wrong, but when diplomacy was a sexless disembodied voice in Rob's head... wasn't the chosen pronoun 'he/him'? Why did everyone switch to the 'they/them' pronouns now?
BeepBoop
2022-10-06 05:00:58 +0000 UTCSo, is Diplomacy actually the reincarnated Valaire, or did they just pick that name in honor of Valaire's memory? Also... Valaire's physical description and voice reminds me a lot of an angel. Totally androgynous, human-*ish*, beautiful voice, weapons on hand pretty much 24/7 in case of smiting. Could be coincidental, as a former skill, it would make sense for their physical form to be dedicated to the concept of diplomacy, and so be appealing to everyone, regardless of sex, species, etc.

2022-10-06 04:38:57 +0000 UTCOh man, and here I was all ready to post my theory that Diplomacy, and probably other skills, was one of the original inhabitants that were somehow trapped in, for lack of a better term, the backend of the system. I'm guessing that since Rob isn't a part of the system, when the skills got grafted onto him in the slapshod manner they did, it left enough of and opening for more than whatever is was the skills were drawing on from them to come through. I'm also guessing this backend is where the humans went to when they did the cataclysm. Punched a hole through reality, although more cleanly than the nuke, and sent their souls through.

2022-10-06 04:20:28 +0000 UTCSweet Christ, are all skills made from the souls of people the gods sacrificed? Free us indeed.

2022-10-06 04:16:08 +0000 UTCJokes aside, this is the consequence of writing a plot heavy series in a serial format. When stuff is happening consistently, there isn't going to be a good non-cliffhanger stopping point, really. It would be different if I had large sections dedicated to grinding or slice of life.
