Guilty Gear Xrd Story Thread

[Zysets]

As for what I said earlier... Arakune knows things and says things that don't make sense at first, but as you learn more about the nature of the story within the game, certain things begin to click, such as when he says "You don't understand, we're all being watched!" (which is later revealed to be because of Takamagahara).  That's why I say he's like Bedman and speaks in riddles, we won't know what Bedman is really talking about until we know more of the story.

 

 

Ah I actually didn't know that about Arakune. I'm not as invested in BlazBlue, even though I've finished the stories for the first two games.

That's actually pretty interesting, I'll have to keep my eyes peeled with Bedman when Xrd does come out.

Hmmmm Elphelt’s birthday is the same as Dizzy’s

and “A kindhearted girl who loves nature and animals”

the same height as Dizzy to (168 cm)

this is getting fishy

[SoWL]

It's even the same birthday as Noel's, and she uses guns, too!

[SolxBaiken]

Technically, that's not Dizzy's birthday, just the day she was found by/joined the Jellyfish.

[Blade]

She wasn't "found" by the Jellyfish on her Birthday, just to clarify.

 

According to Lightning the Argent Novel, Ky was finishing up his investigation with Blackard Company in January of 2181...  the events with the Blacktech Data disc (GGX Drama CD) came right after that, then he went to America to investigate the Gear Bounty.

 

So, sometime around January, maybe mid-February was when Dizzy was discovered.

 

Based on that (and Dizzy's bio) she had just turned 3 as of December of last year (2180), so she was probably 'born' (if you can call it that) in 2177 thereabouts, but again, her Birthday of December 25th is assumed (since that's when her villager parents adopted her before they abandoned her to the Forest a few months after when she grew her wings and tail).

 

As of GGXrd, Dizzy would be 10 years old with the mind of the equivalent of a 70-something genius intellect and a body of a 21 year old (since Gears don't age once they mature).

[Zysets]

It's always strange to say the ages of gear characters, particularly humanoid gears like Dizzy. For example, it's strange to think Ky had a child with someone who's currently only about 10 years old, but technically, that age is only how long she's existed, if you get what I mean. She has the body and mind of someone much older, so it's not as strange as it sounds. That's a whole other topic though, and it's probably been talked about a lot before.

Maybe Dizzy is like a dog and 10 years is like 20 in gear years?

[Master Of Chaos]

Dizzy and Sin obviously don't age as slow as humans do. Dizzy has the body of a grown women, and Sin looks like he's in his mid-to late teens, if not older, despite being half his mother's age. Dunno if this is a Gear thing or a trait of Gear-Human hybrids, but there you go.

Well sol is the prototype gear, he's been looking like a 25 yr old for like... 120 years or something.

If anything the only thing changed about him is that his shoulders got bigger lol.

[Zedar90]

I thought the whole thing with fast aging was for the gear to become it's optimal age quickly, and then stay there. What use is there for weapons that takes 21 years before it get's useful.

Since he is the prototype gear, does that make him the very first gear? And is he still even human anymore? I feel like he's no longer treated like a half gear but a full blown gear.

[D.R.F.]

No he is still half. Strong enough be otherwise ahah

[Blade]

Maybe Dizzy is like a dog and 10 years is like 20 in gear years?

 

We tried to quantify this a while ago.

 

Dizzy was 3 years old as of 2181, but she had the appearance of someone who was 20-21 years old.

 

Sin just turned 3 years old as of 2187, and he looks much the same as she did age-wise, so...

 

Based on that...

 

Gear Gestation (Pregnancy) Period: 2 months 

Gear Age Rate: About 7 Years per 1 Human Year.

 

If you were to apply that to Sol, who has been a Gear since 2016-2187:

 

171 Years x 7 = 1,197 "Gear Years" Sol has experienced.  He really IS an old man!

 

But I should also mention that once Gears reach a certain "level of maturity" they cease to age/grow old in appearance.  So Dizzy, Sol, Testament, etc will never change in appearance (same goes for Dr. Paradigm even though he looks rather old he claims to be an un-matured Dragon).

 

Testament in particular hasn't changed his appearance since 2140 apparently.

 

Oh yeah, and one of Dizzy's alternate endings in GGXPlus suggests she becomes Captain of the Jellyfish Pirates in 2281, while Sol becomes a new leader of a 'New' Sacred Order in that same year.

[D.R.F.]

Maybe Dizzy is like a dog and 10 years is like 20 in gear years?

so what you are saying is that she is a bitch?D:< lol

[Zysets]

Yeah that's probably how it works. I'm not even sure if Gears can die of old age. Doctor Paradigm looks older than Sol, Sin, etc. but I doubt he has many issues with his age either.

[kylehyde]

so what you are saying is that she is a bitch?D:< lol

 

Touché, she is female so yeah.

Yes it does. He's the first.  He 'transforms' when he uses his powers, so he has to use his headguard limiter to maintain human form when using his flames.

 

Sol is unique in that he has a "Gear Body". (Meaning that his human mind is somehow partially intact and not completely converted, hence why he can resist Justice' influence, the same also partially applies to Testament though not as much).

 

So far only Sol and Testament are the only well-known "humans converted in to Gears".  The only other exception is Sheevus who drank Vitae and became a Gear of his own will but it eventually killed his consciousness.  Gig sorta counts, but we don't know her full origins, and since she lost her mind during the conversion, it was a failure.

 

I should add Solaria was a conversion, but there isn't much about her or how she developed since she was put in the International Police Force's custody.

[Blade]

Just posting this here before I forget since Lux (Sin Kiske) was talking about it:

 

Illyria is a really big piece of land ownership, broken up into three Regions.

 

According to a GG2 Interview, they said that while Ky is the King of all three regions, they each have their own "district ruler" under him.

[kylehyde]

So what exactly do we know about Elphelt? At first I thought she might of been Dizzy in disguise but that's very doughtful, I like that she uses a gun and it has a similar style as Sol's BulletHeaven.

[D.R.F.]

Bullet heaven is the manufacturer

[kylehyde]

Really? So then what's his sword called? Junkyard Dog?

[D.R.F.]

Yep

[CCVengeance]

So what exactly do we know about Elphelt? At first I thought she might of been Dizzy in disguise but that's very doughtful, I like that she uses a gun and it has a similar style as Sol's BulletHeaven.

My bet is either yet another Valentine.

[Blade]

Elphelt as we've seen so far appears to wear a hat similar to Ramlethal's and she has an appearance similar to Aria like the original Valentine of GG2 Overture did.

 

I don't think that's a coincidence.

 

I can't determine what exactly the Valentines really are... but they have something to do with something known as "Mother"... who Mother is and what she has to do with the Backyard is unknown.  The servants that serve under the Valentines are known as the Vizuel.

 

Also, judging from what the original Valentine was, comparing her to both what we know of Elphelt and Ramlethal... they could all be copies or "aspects" of Aria's personality.

 

If this "Mother" was a Merciless Apocalypse according to "That Man", and these are her 'children' or rather 'illegitimate children'... it's hard to say who the 'true heir' of this Mother is.

 

Is this Mother Aria?  Or is she Justice?  Or is she someone else?

 

How do Dizzy, Sol, and Sin all tie in to this?

 

Too many questions, not enough answers.
