No no, the MC was the very first XD
But nice inscription
In loving memory of Blackbird.
Sheâs not a fan of warehouses anymore.
That would be a bit ironical considering that my MC made her secret hideout inside of an abandoned warehouse Canât help but to love an old abandoned warehouse.
That makes me think, now that weâre speculating anyway, could Wraith be the reason why Crow was unable to save the MC? (It would explain the chuckle at least, if it was part of the original memory.) Like, either by getting into his/her way directly or by controlling/partially wiping the mind of the only direct witness, Nero? It would explain why Neroâd feel guilty about the whole affair (even more than that the MC got shot protecting him and by him indirectly causing the bomb to be detonated) and turning into an anti-hero. Of course Iâm probably just reading too much into it
Well, even without a corpse you can have a grave. Happens quite often in case of disasters with many victims and a mass of damage. Not all dead can be identified, but they still can get graves dedicated to them, even when their corpse lies in a collecting pit instead of their own grave. Graves are ultimately for the family to mourn before everything else. At least for the authorities Crowâs adopted child did go missing. So some memorial would be nice at least? (add a !?! when reading in my MCâs voice)
@Cecilia_Rosewood doesnât seem that far off to be honest. we donât know what criterias wraith uses for the the subjects that winters experiments with, but using people that show a great deal of endurance and other traits like vigilants normally should seems not that stupid. So maybe Wraith did look out for MC much longer as we know by nowâŚWhat makes me wary about every other vigilant that since then died to come back but on the wrong sideâŚ
Hey @Nekumura I was wondering how old Crow is. From what Iâve seen people see them a mother/father figure but I see them more as an older sibling.
Crow, when he (I guess I will stick to a he for the thread) adopted the MC when he was 30. Which means he should be 34 when the MC comes back from the grave, and 35 a year later.
You mean ones like Sentinel?
exactly, thoughg it could be argued that because of his old age he isnât a as viable testsubject as MC for example
âFace your fear and overcome it.â
I know, right? Itâs like the best place evar!
But doesnât that theory contradict with Winterâs (or one of her little helpersâ) statement (in their secret lab below the cathedral) that the bodies are all falling apart? It seems to me that we wonât have to worry about that from the experiments Winters was involved in at least.
Well, just because things donât work out as they hoped for by now, doesnât mean that canât change in future
From all the people they tried to reanimate in their old lab it was also only the MC that could be seen as success. Could be the reason for why they want the MC back. To have a closer look at whatâs different at them compared to all the other subjects
Random speculation again, of course, but it has most likely got something to do with the MCâs powers, which would imply that the MC had always had a predisposition (not sure if thatâs the right word) for them, rather than them having been caused solely by whatever they did to the MC back there.
It is, like always, interesting to see to what you guys come up with.
I wonât say anything to your ideas, but by all means, continue please.
It is also lovely to see that it interests you guys so much that you are speculating about it that much
Iâd say, no doubt about that.
Completely fairly certain that the MC wouldnât gain complete unbridled enjoyment from it.
Oh, that brings in a new perspective why MC specifically was targeted. But I honestly thought their main aim was to evoke the hidden powers in people, most likely to let them work under Wraith. Why else should they just randomly try to rise the dead? Or they wanted to produce those powers artificially and MC just was a lucky case that already had some hidden potential. But Wraith and Winters maybe still donât know about it, even i case they suspect it. So research at MC could deliver some marker they could use to find other subjects easier
Might be wrong, but what if cells they were using for MC ressurection was Wraithâs (or related in some way), and Wraith expected it would give her better control of people brought to life that way. But they were rejected by ânormalâ people, so only MC who had dormant powers was revived. Would explain in a way why our powers seemed to be useless against her?
Is that a go-ahead for further speculation? Awesome!
In between all the speculation of who or what could give the MC away as either being the original Blackbird or the âthingâ that got out of that giant glass tube in the destroyed lab there is one I donât think has been mentioned yet. That is that if the MC will get romantically involved with someone that autopsy scarâd be a dead giveaway (or at least raise some serious questions.) Of course that could also occur in some other scenarios, like if the MC got seriously injured in a fight and peopleâd have to take the MCâs shirt off to stop the bleeding or something.
That might be, but Iâm more tempted to believe that sheâs just too frikkinâ powerful for the MC to stand a chance. She wouldnât be a good antagonist for the MC and the rest of the bunch if sheâd be a pushover.
Well at least I hope for a dramatic reveal between MC and a potential RO that explicitly involves the scar and eventually some big meltdown on MC side because hey they are a walking corpse⌠But I am a mean person whoâs a sucker for drama.
Wouldnât be surprised if its both of those reasons actually. This part makes me most suspicious:
âI was not aware of your little ability here.â Tapping you on your shoulder causes a few brittle shards of ice to escape your body against your will where she touches you, just as if she would be getting rejectedâŚâ
Her phrase kind of implies that she expected our ability to show at her touch? And the fact that it happend against our will, might be because we were scared, but what if it not.
