Another theory post boys

I can't be the only one to see the normal type like.. Physically fading, right?

Here's the thing, obviously, there is the possibility of James being like actually dead which is not helping, but like, here's how I see it:

.. Normal type is weaker in n2. But a long shot. It's no longer neutral, it has two weaknesses and no strengths to even it out, it's now out benefited by Psychic to be on that 6th team slot.

But, the more important thing, where the heck is the 'Normal' (I'll be referring to them as 'Energy' for the sake of not sounding silly,) shard?

Like, ok, it might seem unimportant, but we have the Phantom and Mind shards but no Energy shards. And before you say there's nobody to revive and that's why, I'd point to the Phantom and Mind shards yet again, heck one of those doesn't even have a primordial

And if you want to say Phantom shards are used in that one Ignitia mission, they are, but Mind shards are used absolutely no where and are there for flavor.

So there's nothing stopping JV from adding like, cores for speed and making them Electric and Energy shard based for a new core.

But there just aren't any Energy shards, which is really weird when Mind ones are a thing

Additionally, there is 0 Normal/Power/Energy Nexotraps.

There's a Nexotrap to boost your odds with each type.... Expept for Normal

From a development standpoint, this is very weird, I mean, why make one type of nexomon that much harder to catch? Normal Nexotraps (... Power Nexotraps from now on) are even in concert art!

Like, why do you not have like, Power Nexotraps and Energy shards, that's really fricking weird. Like, both of those sound like they should be there to complete the set, one of each

... But they're not. Granted, there is still the Drake of Power(because his Attribute is the Attribute of Power) but like, that's because Amelie was doing that herself.

What I'm getting is that, Normal as a type, is going thin. And if that's the case, I fear for James (aka the nexolord/elf), I truly do

Twice is still a coincidence, but once it ticks over to three...

[chaos-era]

slight nsfw joke because i am of the opinion selena would wholeheartedly take advantage of the fact that James, having lived among people for so long, would be cursed with the knowledge of sexual innuendos.

its like psychological warefare.

also wowie first time doodling my james design should do that again the future.

[nayvwriter]

Hmmm... Now I'm getting to the point I don't know who to ask about that aren't the Omnikids.

I could ask for Metta I suppose? Though he is n1

Metta! (N1 spoilers)

I didn't think about him too much until you came along, but now I have too many thoughts.

Metta's a bit of a mystery. He doesn't have a title, he doesn't have a human name (apart from 'the Nexolord'), you never actually fight him if I recall correctly. I don't think you can see his Tyrant form until postgame either, and he just sort of disappears for N2, acknowledged only in a silly background detail calling him "a villain who just sort of disappeared".

But just by looking at his design, there's a lot you can find out. We already know he's the seventh and last child of Omnicron. He also knows moves of the type of every (at the time) element. And his ribbons of every element, with the images of the other Primordial Tyrants on them...

He's everything, every element in one, and it's shown so clearly in his design. I love it. I think he has all the powers of his siblings (and his father? given that his black ribbon portrays Omnicron?)

I also feel like I'm just reiterating my previous metta posts. He may be a bowling ball, but his Tyrant design is really interesting because of the ribbons, which are really the focal point of the design. I think it's a good design, actually, for what it does!

As a character? I don't remember him too well (don't know n1 too well). But he interests me. I think he's probably the furthest under his father's thumb of all of them... but I don't think this was always the case. I think when he was younger, Omnicron worried about his ambition.

I also think Omnicron tried to kill Nara and Metta saved her life (seeing as he has her power). Fun little headcanon I have that has 0 canon basis.

I think he's charismatic, including (especially) to people he doesn't care about. Like humans. Also ambitious, but hasn't quite worked out he can do things without his father. I don't think he cares about humanity at all - he's willing to play by their rules to further his goals, but Nexomon are always his priority.

I headcanon that he can shapeshift into whatever human form he likes and possibly shift his Tyrant form as well. Since I headcanon that their forms are subconscious, this has interesting implications - does this mean that who he is isn't that solid? This makes sense, I think.

I also headcanon that he never had a single human name, but rather changed with each appearance - it would make sense, if he could shapeshift. Also I... didn't want to call him James, but I didn't want to ignore the name entirely, so if I ever get an opportunity I might throw in a 'he went by James once' one-off joke.

Where is he in n2? Hiding, I think. Which has the fun little side effect that he might not get told about gestures at plot of the game until the rest of the world finds out.

[tulipsnflowers]

I don't think you know what you just did @call-of-the-wayward-wolf

Obviously, we have to cover the gap between n1 and n3 because, he is for some freaking reason, not in n:e

So first things first, that one post JV made about him being the Landlorn in n:e when housing was a think. Or how he worded it, "It was supposed to be a Nexolord with a mustache". Considering I'm pretty sure he said something about housing in n3 I am keeping my fingers crossed. Please JV it'll be so fricking funny.

I don't want to derail this to be about where James is in n:e, ask that if need be, but that's not what this is. But if he's just casually the landlord that implies that either a) Sols revived him or b) he was alive from the start. Which. Press X to doubt on that one. I don't think he's the type to be all quiet n stuff who does he think he is.

Or, like I'm head cannoning, protag in n3. This has no base other than black hair with a blue streak = normal type with blue streak = James. Legit none. I think not even the eye color matches. But it would be really funny if he was tbh, he sucks at being a villain so bad he became the protagonist

Or, he's on the antagonist team. It's to nobody's shock I think Deena might be evil, and if they're on the same team that's very fun. Like cmon give it to me. Plus it might potentially be him against all of his siblings. JV be damned those guys care about him so I'll grab popcorn.

Or, a secret 4th thing, being that either the protagonist or the other girl character with a blue streak are somehow related to him but he isn't there. Which I doubt but hey, would be fun.

Or he's just not there at all. None would shock me but I would be shocked if it's none of those

Introducing.... Children of Omnicron tyrant form redesigns!

I mostly combined n1 and n2 + Just some small changes I like, and I made them more animal I guess.. ? All of them individually, as well as a silly height chart and thoughts below

Just some thoughts here:

Grunda-

Grunda's colors are a bit confusing because they changed his elemtal colors in between, so I made them the same as Metta's

I gave him lil colored spikes to spice it up AND because Nadine has them, I figured it might be cute if that's why Ventra has them,cuz Grunda is Cool. Not that she'd admit it

Ventra-

MORE RAPTOR THANK GOD. She's so weirdly humanoid??? Ross said he should be avian, that is not avian, she is raptor

I know she has golden eyes but like... She's the only one with them? It causes a bit of a color bleeding problem because she has an eye ribbon, but I'm sure it's fine

Fona-

I removed his emo phase. Seriously, why is he the only one without white?

Also Metta's ribbon is red and his glow is red but we made his lava... yellow? Quickly fixed that one-

I gave him that horse blank thingy for spicing up- He's the more horse-like between him and Deena

Nara-

I made her antlers more Deer-like. Because my friend thinks they're ears. So. Antlers.

There, she KINDA has a 3rd flower, only outlined. But it's there. Oh and that under her eye is a scar. Because she has it according to me, because it's something she had in n1 and then not in n2 so I got creative

I also made her paws white to be more hoof-like. Just overall small things I like

Arqua-

WHERE DID HER BACK FINS GO IN N2?????? She lost her legs. The heck-

Other than that they changed her colors quite a bit, even if not noticeably, otherwise I combined the 2 designs to the best of my ability

OH and Metta's ribbon is so diluted for her. The heck, her water is so much brighter-

Luxa-

So originally I made him bigger. I realized Metta would be a literal spot on the canvas, so uh, just a touch smaller

I like the n1 one more- again where do fins keep going?? I liked his dragon-esk features!

I used Metta's ribbon colors, but I made the purple just a bit brighter

Metta-

Him and his forms from here, though I haven't thought about them much so up for interpretation

Mostly took ribbon colors and changed them, because they're all very desaturated, if this is his whole gimmick, at least do it right!

Glass ball. Please get a new form in n3

I didn't do Solus because it varies from person to person almost? Like, I certainly don't imagine @/nayvwriter 's Hope and my Ariel (not written yet) to look the same in tyrant form, so it really really depends.

Even small things such as main animal focus can and should change so probably not gonna make one till JV releases n3, at least.

On that note, here's a funny height chart

What are they feeding Luxa?

[tulipsnflowers]

I DID IT!!!

Metta, if he could change types/forms. There's everyone! Nice purple color scheme because I said so.

Good fricking luck Ulzar. Beat that, consider they also differ in size.

Will add more later

[tulipsnflowers]

Gang I have made a revelation

[tulipsnflowers]

so I found this post https://www.tumblr.com/anacharafan/740045529628721152/ok-scuse-me-op-jesstheespeon-somepunaboutspace?source=share and. Tulip. What rant about Metta maybe not even being a person explain your thought processes please.

(currently getting slowly drawn into the Metta Blorbo side of the fandom and very interested to hear your take)

(Blinks innocently) whatever do you mean?

... God, I haven't shared this one before? Insane rant time. Thought process is not good™

..

So. Let's start really simple, and I promise this will make sense later.

What's plant's element color? Oh easy, it's green

See? Green, easy.

Wind? Teal. Mineral? Weird yellow.

Okay, now, please do tell me the color of Normal. "Oh it's blue, I mean, James' soul was blue, and his hair streak is-"

WRONG. It's BLACK.

Now, first of all, that's just, not how James dresses up. He has 1(one) singular black shirt that's under his jacket. The rest are quite literally colored like their element(even Deena has her hair in the correct color,) so, what the frick?

Number 2:

Move set, everyone noticed his gimmick is having everything. Man soloed the wardens on my play through. But.

Omnicron has that, too. Exact same order(except flipped). Electric last, Fire first. (Or Fire first, Electric last) ((this is also tower order btw, and the only one that rotates is Deena, being between Wind and Electric and Wind and Mineral, so I HC them as having been roomies (her and nadine I mean) ANYWAY DEENA GET OUT NOT YOUR POST))

Number 3:

What the hell is up with his soul, anyway?

And I don't mean in the sense he's not in the Netherworld or n2, which, I'll get to, but.

We just determined Normal is Black..... So why the hell is his soul -Energy. Being. Whatever you want to call it, blue?

That doesn't line up, Omnicron's soul makes sense to be blue, because he's fricking blue and red and white, but James' shouldn't. He only has one blue streak, he mostly has that red and white jacket---

Hang on a second.

Number 4: He doesn't have gold. He doesn't have gold! Even Grunda has gold.

That's the telltale thing to tell a design is a child of Omnicron. Gold. ("tulip, uh, the moving bits-" to which I say. Nara ruined that in n2, so..)

So then, what do I make of all of this is,

Omnicron was already an S++++ parent, no denying that, and at some point, cuz Ulzar didn't beat them all at once, he knew. That Ulzar is killing his children and that he's on the hit list, I mean. While I don't see him being too concerned, I do see him having a.. Back up plan.

Aka James. Aka, a child, existing to just hold his soul if that damned human does kill him. I mean, look at him! He's not even an animal, he's a fricking ORB (orbs of elemental energy, anyone?)

So. When someone (Deena), destroyed Omnicron's soul.... I mean, it also explains why he was gone in n:e.

Also. It explains his lack of a nightmare, as well. Why have a whole separate nightmare if they weren't separate beings to begin with?

[tulipsnflowers]

Per @zscyber 's forced request, cat cat cat cat cat-

More lynx like actually, but still. I will forever make him the shortest :)

[tulipsnflowers]

Contrary to popular belief I can't draw him that well

[tulipsnflowers]

I said this before and I'll say it again

Absolutely 0 shade towards Remus he is an awesome dude through and through

But do you think James would've been maybe at least a little different if it was someone like Juliet(bad example but best I got) or Ira, as the Nexolord before he kicked their arse.

Reason being (insert rant about the CoO not at all understanding nexomon) , and obviously being disgusted towards them with the whole catching and bonding thing,

Cuz I love Remus, but he wouldn't fret or be worried about his nexomon going down n stuff like that.

I feel like if someone else had actually shown that at some point, well, nothing drastic would happen, but maybe..

[tulipsnflowers]

Screw it, if I'm reblogging nexomon stuff I might as well:

Hot probably untrue take: I'm not... The only one who thinks Deena has to like..... At least briefly fight for the other side, right? Like good ol evil arc? As a treat?

Because in n1 she's an absolute honey I love her look at her we love her.

In n2 she's obviously more developed more depth, a few thousands of years go by, all that. She may not have handed things the best but... She tried even if it ended up with... *cough cough* Xanders *cough cough*. And she even tells us she's proud of us!

In n3...... Mmmmm. This is partially influenced by me data mining a bit(in n2, to be clear), but like. M. She is immortal , and while I would love her to be on the good side again, for me it's like... An inevitable thing?

Like she's such a trustworthy character I'd kill someone if she asked nicely.

[tulipsnflowers]

pair ask: Metta and Nara

Oh god you'd expect I'd have more to say

Nexomon spoilers

The issue is. These two. Share. Zero. Words.

It's a problem. In fact Deena shares 0 words with all of her siblings. And she was right there in the frozen tundra. All of them were standing with Glacia and she went over with us and 0 lines were shared between them.

But that's off topic. James and Deena.

So... Depending on how you structure Omnikids you could make Deena and James not know each other by simply making James a thing after Deena already switched sides. That one complicates things, I'll skip over it for now, but it's worth mentioning

So... Yay. All of this is headcanon because JV doesn't know how to write and he isn't in n2 for some godforsaken reason

You also have to wonder if any of them know Deena's human form, and how involved Deena even was before this. Because she seemed shocked Nadine was there. Deena. What do you-

I digress. Anyhow.

James is Omnicron's 7th child. Often interpreted as the golden Child and/or the heir.

Deena, is the traitor. Omnicron's 4th child.

James took a bit to get his plan of reviving his siblings going - and Malk said they knew each other for a while, so it's probably been rocky.

Maybe James didn't know where Deena was - not impossible, or maybe he just didn't want to talk to her because while yes, she'd come in useful (life powers and all,) she already betrayed them.

You can think or not think she helped Ulzar, but at the very least she stood against Omnicron and refused to attack humans. She chose them over her family (not that it was a proper one)

So I don't think James wants to talk. They wouldn't have anything to say. Not to her, not after everything. (Though I do think some part of him really wants to. Despite rough patches, you were born knowing your siblings. When you grow up with them, you carry a part of their personality whether you want it or not. ) Plus after Omnicron literally disowned her, I don't think he even wants to risk the same

Deena - I don't know what she's been doing for a bit. I know she was in the netherworld for a while after n1 and between n1 postgame, but I can just assume she was in the forest pre n1. Which, in hindsight, is pretty obvious. James wouldn't even need to look far. Perhaps that's why Khan stayed the Overseer, cuz he doesn't necessarily bother there

I would like to think Deena tried at least once to say something. To convince him otherwise. He was alive, and they were the only two living Omnikids at that point. I don't think it went well, but she probably tried.

Then n1 happens. Deena is only with us in Forest, Phantom, Lateria and bit of Frozen. Only in Lateria do they truly get to see each other, right as James revives Grunda. Deena doesn't say anything. Not to James, not in general.

What can she even try to say? She's about to help the hero fight her own older brother - who let's be honest was probably a better parental figure than Omnicron - and quite probably kill him. She can't even say anything for her case. She can't even say sorry because she knows it's probably worthless.

They then don't talk. Because James is at top of the tower and Deena is quietly in the shadows. I like to think with Deena healing you and stopping your nexomon from turning - he knew. He had to have knew. He said nothing, and neither did she.

Because Omnicron was there, and because it's not worth it to say anything that could anger Omnicron on James' side (especially because while there's hatred I don't think it's all hatred. Not to his older sister), and not to blow her cover for Deena.

Because she has to do this. Her siblings may hate her, that she can handle, but she can do this for humanity. Just once more(if that wasn't a lie.)

And that was the last time the two saw each other in canon. In a way, I think if they just talked to each other - I don't know. Something different would have happened.

[tulipsnflowers]

BTW, whenever I prefer to Omnicron and Malk in relation to James I always call em Dad and Step dad

Neither of them were a positive influence.

(also malk how young is a 'young adventurer' when did you meet James, really?)
