Weaponverse Eco Theory by Hybrid and Taisha with some inspiration from Nashi’s Eco Theory

In the Weaponverse (Weapon, Shift, Dishonor, Rebirth of Mercury, and Dunesong ) the theory is that since each person (in the game) turns to Eco after his or her death, that they go ‘back’ to the eco (ala FF7, in my opinion). The higher eco’s thusly have a sort of ‘hive mind’, along with Eco Ghosts (people who died, usually in horrible ways associated with eco, and thusly refused to move on, forming their own subhive of eco creatures.)

Green, Yellow, Blue, and Red, being of a lower order of Eco’s, have a less stronger hive mentality, but due to the relative commonity of the lower eco’s there are more frequent appearances of the eco ghost. Green eco ghosts simply do not exist, as they are for healing, and therefore not usually associated with strong urges. (Not that healing isn’t strong; but theoretically a Green Eco Ghost would simply go around healing people. A GE Ghost isn’t out of the question BUT unlikely.) Red and Yellow eco ghosts are the most prevalent, esp. in the old temples and forests. Blue eco ghosts are usually around the sites of workplace accidents and the track (being where Blue is most prevalent) and mostly cause innocuous accidents, though they have been known to accidently kill people by causing accidents on the track or overloading them with Blue (eco shock.)

The higher eco’s – Dark and Light- have a strong hive mentality. Due to the relative uncommonness of Dark and Light in natural culture where others can reach it, they are less common. LE Ghosts (as in Donna) tend to act more like ghosts overall, keeping their memories, but mostly unable to interact with people w/o killing them.

Dark has a strong hive mentality, almost sinister in nature. To quoth, “it whispers secrets” to those in tune with it, which is why the Hora Quan are crazy, also due to Dark being a naturally chaotic entity. Dark eco ghosts aren’t unheard of- more prevalent since Jak escaped. (DWP DE Ghosts?) EDIT: (Yep, the prison’s haunted, *plothinthint* Possible plot idea?)

Unsure if True Eco exists here, but it doesn’t make ghosts.

This is also why Weapon!Jak is slowly going insane, more so than canonically. Routine exposure (via HQ nest) is cracking his mind.

How does he get Light then? Donna basically goes into him when she see’s the calming effect he has, giving up her ‘individuality’ to counteract the Dark. This is also how Seem will train Jak- since he has Light.

Why Donna? The Precursors aren’t really on the planet. Neither are the dark makers. They’ve also sort-of given up on Jak, as Kor is the one who unlocks his powers.

Wasteland Metal Heads- they have no hive mentality. Why? There is small amounts of Light Eco in the waste. Over time, this LE has changed the mentality of the generations of WMH, who call themselves Metal Heads instead of Hora Quan. They’re still violent, but can be persuaded to trade (ie Kleiver) etc. They can’t ever exist literally side by side with the elves, but maybe mountain by city. Not close, though.

EXTRA INFO

Eco Classification

The Two High/Soul Ecos (so-called because of they’re greater tendency to warp somebody’s mind)

-Light and Dark

The Lower/Earthly Ecos (much more common)

Green, Red, Yellow, Blue

Eco Alignment. (More info will be added to this)

Every living entity on the planet has something known as an “Eco Alignment.” Eco Alignments is basically the creature’s natural eco affinity/immunity. For example, somebody with an Eco Alignment of Dark, will have a slight immunity to it and will be more likely to suffer mental disorders/be eccentric.

Eco Alignments tend to correspond to whatever eco is most prevalent in the region and whatever eco the living entity is exposed to the most when they were alive.

Eco Alignments also slightly influence an individual’s personality, with the influence being greater in more saturated higher-level channelers.

Basic Eco Aligments tend to be classifed as:

*Insert Lower Eco here* *Insert Soul Eco here*
i.e Blue Dark

More complicated Eco Alignments exist being like:

*Insert Two Lower Ecos Here* *Insert Soul Eco here*

However such alignments are rare.

Only in rare occasions will an Eco Aligment will be something like: Flux. Flux is a special case in which a channeler has a near-equal affinity for all the lower ecos and then learns to channel the higher ones as in Jak’s case.

An individual’s Eco Aligment will determine what kind of eco they will turn into when they die and what kind of Eco Ghost/Spirit if they refuse to move on.

Common Regional Eco Alignments:

Haven: Green Dark
Why: Haven was originally only Green with shades of the lower ecos and a small amount of Dark, thanks to the mass amounts of Green Eco in the area and the fact that the Green Sage resided here. However, centuries of Hora-Quan attacks has led to a greater prevalence of Dark. Dead Hora-Quan would then decompose back into Dark eco and centuries of this has led to the area being saturated in the stuff. Dark is the eco of change, so as such, the local creatures are more likely to suffer mutations and defects in their genetic makeup but life also survives thanks to this mixture even as the Metal Heads ravage the area. Dark might mutate but certain mutations might be beneficial and Green undoes some of the damage.

Other less common Eco Alignments include Blue Dark, Red Dark, and Yellow Dark.
Blue Dark is most often found by those who work in the industrial areas and in racing, such individuals are likely to lean toward a jittery paranoid nature with a natural high for any kind of rush. Impulsive, they often end up addicted to Haven's various intoxicants.

Red Dark's have shorter tempers and increased physical strength but their explosive nature leads them to being vulnerable to insane amounts of stress and heart problems. They rarely live past their prime. Yellow Dark's tend to be slightly more stable and often pursue long-term goals unlike the musthaveitnow of the Blues and Reds. Also, although a Red Dark is like an explosion, Yellow Darks are more like a small steady flame that eventually becomes bigger and more vicious as the Yellow Dark loses sight of everything but their goal. Both types can be found in Haven's military, as they are exposed to both ecos as it's used in their weaponry, force eco shields, and armour.

Light Alignments are pratically nonexistant unless one comes from a bloodline that originated in the Wasteland or are one of the few nobles descended from Precursor Monk families.

Havenites live less longer and with more health problems then Wastelanders thanks to the region's pollution and Dark eco. It's a crocadog-eat-crocadog world in Haven, with every Rae aka Elf out for themself. On the plus side, the region has been known for it's innovation and technological achievements in the past thanks to the influence of the Dark's chaotic influence, if Praxis' stranglehold can be removed, Haven might thrive yet again.

Wasteland: Red/Yellow Light
Why? Open Light Eco vents are much more common in the area. A noteable vent in Spargus is located right next to the water pumps. As such, Light eco from the vent has seeped into the water supply, affecting generations of Wastelanders. It’s theorized that the Light Eco has helped to make the population hardier with the Light’s small influence boosting their immune systems and having wounds heal slightly faster.

Red and Yellow Eco has also been found in the Waste, being used as ammo for their guns, vehicles, and channelers. Those with Red Light and Yellow Light Alignments tend to be aggressive and stronger thanks to the lower eco’s influence but is tempered by the Light, which has helped led to the community-focused survival of the desert tribes.

Green and Blue Eco is far more rare in the Wasteland, one of the reasons that the region is stark and devoid of plant life. The little amount that exists is either locked in the Light as the eco is made from a mixture of all four lesser ecos, with a greater ratio of Green/Blue, or scattered amongst the few oasises and settlements in the Waste.

As such, those with Green Light or Blue Light alignments are nearly nonexistant, found only among the monks, the few noblity that have survived the exile from Haven, or the odd Wastelander/Maruader that works either with in medicine or mechanics, but those odd ones have been known to have their Green Light/Blue Light Alignments flecked with yellow or red. Stubbornness is needed in the Waste after all.

Dark Alignments were once rare outside of the Hora-Quan Wasteland Tribe, but have been become far more common as Haven exiles it's criminals because of the overflowing prison system. However such individuals, will need to reign in their crocadog-eat-crocadog mentality and help the community if they wish to survive.

Alteration of Eco Alignments.

Eco Alignments change as the years pass. One starts with their Birth Aligment, the one determined by the regions' most common eco and their parents' Aligments. It changes as one grows up and becomes exposed to other ecos.

To be continued…

Weaponverse- Old Dishonor Log

Sun, 02 Mar 2008 21:01:54 GMT

Dishonor: Die Another Day

Donna glanced at the window when she heard the announcement. Nothing. Just the same dismal slummy surroundings, poor sods trudging in the streets, and the KG squads that kept everybody in line.
Erol's request for food snapped her back to reality.

"Ummm........."

After opening her old fridge up, Donna saw only yakow milk and cheese, a few moldy fruits, and what looked like a lurker flank.

"I have some meat and yakow milk and cheese. I have to head to market soon. But for now, would that do?"
----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

Erol cast another look at Donna as she put the vial away, before looking down at his folded hands. There were slight scrapes on him from the.. whatever attack Jak had done on him. Outside the dinky apartment, another blaring announcement flared up, demanding all denizens of Haven City to report sightings of "Z-53, the traitor Torn, or the red-haired female who escaped from the prisons earlier"

Erol's ears twitched in response to the annoucement, but the pills had already taken effect, and no headaches assaulted him.

"Do you have any food?"
----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

Donna raised an eyebrow at Erol's odd response and stared at the vial, trying to figure out what he found so creepy about it. To her, light eco was a calming and beautiful substance but regardless, she slipped the the small bottle of eco back into her pocket.

----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

Erol stared at the light eco for a moment, before he shivered and looked away. For some reason, the little thing creeped him out.

"Sounds like the Baron," he said nuetrally, though inside he was fuming. I'm Erol Osadus! And they were going to KILL me!

----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

Donna went blank when Erol asked why he was here. Her hands began to tremble slightly. She wasn't really sure whether she should tell him that Count Vegar and Baron Praxis tried to get her to kill him. Sighing, she took out the Light Eco Vial, it's bright light lit up the dim room.

"Baron Praxis and Count Vegar wanted to kill you with this. I was supposed to do it but I couldn't so I brang you here instead so you can hide."
----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

"You can blame my father for that 'sensitivity' crap," he told Donna shortly, staring at the newspaper article again like it was going to tell him what had really happened. After a moment he sighed and crumpled up the paper, annoyed with the lack of it.

"Why am I here, though? If I went through surgery I should be in the hospital."

----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

Donna replied, with a thoughtful expression on her face. "As far as I know, only basic anasthesia and painkillers was used for the failed reconstructive surgery."

She looked at Erol with a curious expression. "Green Eco would have made the surgery a success, but we couldn't use it since you shown an unusual sensitivity to it. That's pratically unheard of."

"As for your memory, I'm guessing the trauma of what happened made you forget. Your memory should come back. When, I don't know."
----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

Erol replied, frustrated. "Whatever you people gave me is interfering with my memory. I can't quite remember what really happened."

----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

Donna shuffled over next to Erol and spoke. "Is there anything wrong?"

----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

Erol looked at the newspaper article for a long moment before he shook his head again, feeling a throb in his forhead.

Jak and... a metal head... the ex-commander.. he thought briefly, placing a hand to his head.

----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

Donna sat down on the other end of the couch and replied.

"Donna." She pulled out an newspaper article from her tattered jacket pocket and handed it to Erol. "This should explain everything."

The article was very short and merely said, "Lt.Erol was injured badly from an encounter with the escaped monster, Z-53. He is currently in critical condition at the Haven City Hospital." It was pretty obivious that the goverment wanted to cover this up.

----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

Erol swallowed three of the pills dry without even making a face, looking around at the apartment again until her question brought his attention back to her.

He shrugged, hop-hobbling over to the ratty old couch he'd spotted in his second observation and gingerly lowering himself down.

"That would.. be a great help to me," he graveled out slightly, looking at her critically. "Before you tell me, though.. what's your name?"
----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

Donna came out of the side room with a small pill bottle in her hands.
Timidly, she handed it to Erol.
"Here, this should help." She went quiet, hands clasped together as she stared at the ground. After several awkard minutes passed, she looked up at Erol and then turned away, and started to speak quietly. Precursors, this was awkward for her.
"Um, I suppose you want to know how you got injured?"

----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

Erol stared at the place where Donna had stood for long moments, before he finally blinked.

My manhood was... removed? he thought in disbelief, dropping his eyes down to his groin. With his free hand he reached down to feel the area gingerly, and pulled back his hand sharply when a sharp shock of pain hit him.

But it was confirmed. He was lacking a certain appendage he had been very attached to. He closed his eyes and grit his teeth, feeling anger welling up. How.. .had he lost it though?

----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

(Yay! You responded!)
Donna looked at Erol's crotch and a split-second later, looked up at him. She quickly averted her eyes and sighed. In a small quiet voice, "You underwent an involuntary penectomy procedure plus castration."

Then she looked him in the eyes. "In other words, your manhood was removed."

She looked away from him. "Let me get some pain killers for you."

And with that, she went into the small side room to dig for some medication, while leaving Erol to come to terms with his fate.

----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

Erol cautiously took the cane, leaning upon it gingerly as he glaced around the house with a slight wince, then looked at Donna. His voice was still raspy as he spoke.

"...some painkillers would be nice. But... could you tell me whats happened? My-" Erol broke off to cough here, stumbling slightly when his grip on the cane slipped. He resteadied himself again automatically, but felt a sting of pain run up his front and hissed.

----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

(How long is Erol gonna be out of it?)
Donna escorted Erol inside and she left him to lean against the wall as she scurried off to the small room. Several minutes later a cry of "I found it! was heard and Donna came out. In her hands was a cane. "Here." She looked at him nervously.
"Is there anything I can get you? A change of bandages? Painkillers?"
----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

Erol had hung his head and remained silent as Donna had searched for her key. He leaned on her as he raised his head to examine the small apartment- it seemed to be one large room, with a small room that was most likely either a bedroom or a bathroom, as far as he could tell.
He didnt say anything for a few moments.

----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

Donna nodded and she kept a careful eye on Erol as she steered him toward her apartment on the ground floor. She dug into her pocket for her key, only to find the vial of glowing light eco. Her eyes widened and she dropped it back into her pocket quickly, hoping that Erol didn't see it. Soon Donna's fingers felt the familiar feel of metal and sighed with relief when she found her key.
With Erol leaning against her, she inserted the key into the lock and the door opened with a click. Donna pushed it open and it swung open with a squeak.
"It's small but it's home."

----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

Erol gave the young nurse a painful smile as he leaned on her slightly. "Thank you," he said, someting he would never normally say- but his mind was still a bit befuddled. He leaned on Donna as he began a slight limp towards the apartment, hoping she would steer him in the right direction if he went the wrong way.

----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

Donna looked down at her thin slight frame and then to the taller althletic Erol. She scratched her head and looked at him sheepishly, "I don't think I can carry you but...."

She grabbed Erol's armand put it around her shoulder as she attempted to lift him up and act as extra support so he could walk.
----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

Erol looked up at the nurse, nodding slightly as he straightened his back and started to get up, but sat back down as he winced slightly at the pain in his crotch.
"I think I may need some help," he rasped out, his first entire sentence since his ordeal had begun- his voice sounded tired.

----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

Donna laid concerned eyes on Erol as she drove past KG guards and slummers huddled around flaming barrels. After one last turn, she was home. A dingy-one room apartment. The engine died with one last roar when she parked it and she shook Erol's shoulder. "Hey, get up. We're at my place now."

Every now and then she would a throw a cautious glance over her shoulder as she didn't want the KG to find out she was harboring their former leader. A wanted poster of Z-53 stared back at her and she averted her eyes, gulping.
----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

Erol had not moved from his crouched position since they'd passed the bloody mess, but did seem to somewhat feel the tangible change in the atmosphere of the area- from bad to worse.

(^^ sorreh I have not replied for awhile XD)

----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

Donna shook her head when she saw Erol shut his eyes. The sight of that traumatizing event must have effect him, she thought.

She pressed the pedal with her foot and zoomer speeded up, leaving the bloodied mess behind. Soon, the derelict streets of the slums came into view.
----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

Erol caught a glance of the bloodied mess as he lowered his head into his hands, trying to not be noticed. Something in his mind pulled at the sight of the massacre, but he shut his eyes, trying to avoid anymore pain.

----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

(ok, cool. I'm looking forward to it.)
Donna glanced at Erol from the corner of her eye. "Stay low and keep your head down. I don't want them finding out."

She was in South Town now and she hurried when she saw the clean-up crews scrubbing away the blood and hauling the bodies away near the Power Station. Her eyes averted from the horrid sight and she blocked out any thought of last night's massacre from entering her mind. She had a job to do and nothing could distract her.

----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

Erol looked blearily over at the young woman who'd told him to be quiet, not understanding why but following her orders.
(oh and I am lightly coloring a sketch of Donna, I'll put it up in the scraps and send ya the links when I do)

----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

Donna jumped slightly when she heard him. "Shh, quiet down."
She whispered to him nervously. She buckled him in and climbed into the zoomer. She sighed when she realized that she had a long trip in order to go to her home in the slums. With a screech, the zoomer entered the second hover zone and flew down the street.

----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

Erol allowed himself to be moved, not quite comprehending what was going on or where he was. He emitted another groan, sliding down in the seat of the zoomer slightly as he placed a hand on his face. "what..?" he slurred slightly as the vehicle jerked to life.

----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

(Ok, but this has to be before the Class 1 One race and then after that but before the race, I dunno, Jak walks into Erol making out with Keira or something.And yeah, amnesia is good.)

Donna eye's widened and she shifted her eyes side-to-side nervously. She clamped a hand over his mouth and she shushed him. She entered the morgue and the smell of death, blood, and eco overwhelmed her.

The whole area was awash in a strange light as tagged bottles on shelves glowed and hummed. Inside the bottles, were various types of eco, formerly bodies. Soon they would either given to rich families as a keepsake of their loved one or to be dumped in the Power Station.

Donna gulped and started to wheel Erol's bed past the bloody steel slabs. An occasional moan could be heard from the dying that was dumped in this dismal area.

Soon she saw a back entrance and hurried there, the door squeaking as she opened it. She was a back alley and she gently loaded Erol's body into her two-seated zoomer. She covered his body with her thin jacket so that he would be slightly warmer.
The zoomer roared to life, spewing exhaust.

(Too long?)

----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

(Oh, and Donna could, I dunno, see the Blue-Erol and.. warn Jak!)

Erol remained quite unconcious throughout the entire wheeling, but when she reached the area near the morgue his eyes drifted open and he groaned in pain, his memory hazy.

(heeey. I could give him amnesia for awhile, from trauma. And when he rememberes everything.. ALMOSTSPLAT goes teh Donna.)

----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

(Yeah, she's beginning to grow on me too. It's a pity that she has to die but if we let her live, what should we do with her? Man, I feel like a depraved deity or something.)

Donna stared at Erol intently for a long time and then back at the vial. She closed her eyes and eyes as she slumped to the ground in defeat.

She put her hand to her face and thought, "I can't do this but if I don't......" Horrid images of her fate, flashed through her mind. "But still...." She stared at the ground and a determined look crossed her face.

"As a nurse, I sworn to protect the sick and dying. No matter what, I have to stick to it." That rare brave thought flashed in her mind and she stood up.

She put on a threadbare jacket over her uniform and threw a blanket over Erol. The vial was slipped into her pocket and she started to wheel Erol's bed down the hallway. Any questions were answered that the patient was dead and would soon decay into eco.
----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

(Aw, I LIKE Donna, And she's gonna DIE.)

Erol stirred lightly when Donna sighed, his face contorting into a look of pain- but he did not wake.

----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

Vegar replied. "Of course." He placed it on the table, and it's etheral glow fell on the injured Erol, giving him the look of a fallen angel. He strode out the door and he gave Donna one last look.

Donna stared at the vial in disbelief and her hands trembled as she picked it up. Her sweaty palms gave it a slippery grip and she nearly dropped it. She sighed with relief when she caught it.

----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

Praxis looked over at Donna and snorted. "spineless wretch" he thought.
"Give her the vial then, and lets get out of here already. I hate the smell of the sick," Praxis commented gruffly.

----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

Vegar smiled cruelly. "Yes. The light will purify him and he will ascend to a better place. She will have the honor of doing it."

He pointed at Donna who sat curled up by Erol's dirty bed. Beads of sweat poured down her face and she nodded fearfully.
"I can't be believe I'm doing this", she thought.
----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

Praxis lowered his brows in thought. "...Ah, so the.. commander would encounter an unfortuneate accident in the.. doctors office?" He suggested, not noticing Donna's sudden demeanor of fear.

----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

Vegar merely smiled at him as held up the glowing vial to his face. Creepy blue light bathed him and made it seems as though he was a Light Eco Saturate. "It should be obivious, my dear Baron. The eco in this little bottle is enough to freeze and paralyze somebody's insides. Your dear Erol is tainted and should cleansed by this light."

Donna's eyes widened and she was paralyzed by fear. Her hands shook as she thought, "He's gonna kill him!"
----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

Praxis raised his brows, narrowing his eyes. "And just *what* Do you mean by that?"
(was afk...-_-; )

----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

Vegar raised an eyebrow as he continued to talk in that arrogant voice of his. "Of course he failed. He is the type to give into the Darkness's temptations and it tainted him. And look where it got him."

The Count narrowed his eyes at the sight of Erol and looked at him with revulsion. "But that taint is still there, so he must be "purified." He placed an emphasis on the last word and pulled out
a small vial of Light Eco from his pocket.

"This should be enough."
----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

Praxis snorted, inwardly agreeing but not showing it.
"Whats to talk about? He failed against a monster- I think a demotion back to buck private is called for." He sneered right back, placing a hand on his broadsword as he spoke, looking over to Erol's hospital bed.

----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

(Yup, Erol is yours to control once he wakes up. I'll play Donna until she gets murdered and I'll try my best to get into Vegar's head.)
Vegar just simply stared back at Praxis, an arrogant look on his face. He stood tall and pround like the dignified man he was. He sneered at Praxis as he acknowledged his presence.

"Baron Praxis, we must talk about the potential "demotion" of one Lituenent Erol. He failed miserably, when it came to the capture of that monster, Z-53 from what I have heard."

He spoke to Praxis in a conscending tone laced with mocking and he held the videotape that shown the events of the "Interoggation" scene.

Donna lowered eyes at Praxis' look and tried to read the newspaper as her ear perked up, ready to catch any juicy bits of upper-class gossip.

----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

(I'll give Praxis a shot. And you can be Donna if you want, since when Erol gets concious I think we agree'd I'd play him.. right? *scratches head*)
Baron Praxis shot Donna a look, DARING her to comment on anything that they would say in the conversation to ensue, before turning to face Vegar, with his ever-present scowl in place. He would not say the first word, even if it was HIS subordinate that had failed so specatcularly.

----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

(You can share control of Donna if you want. I'll play Vegar and Praxis will be played by you. Or do you want to do it the other way around? Erol can be played by both of us since he isn't going to be doing anything other than moan in pain and stuff. Feel free to add bits that might add to the story. )
----------
tai-azkaban-huntress said the following:

(XD Err, um.. am I Veger, or Praxis, or do I get to play the unconcious Erol? And are you Donna exclusively?)

----------
Hybridclaw said the following:

Haven City Hospital. It was a miserable underfunded place filled with the dead and dying. In Room 13E, an unconscious figure laid on an old rusted hospital bed, his crotch bloody and bandaged. A young nurse, Donna, lifted her eyes from the newsaper she was reading and clucked her tongue in disapproval.

Reconstructive surgery was attempted but to no avail, the damage was already done. The patient, Erol, would be left with no manhood.
She shook her head and went on reading, it was a shame that such young fine man such as him had no future now. Her eyes widened at an article in the newspaper, "Z-53 STILL AT LARGE, COUNT VEGAR NOW HEAD OF DWP'S RETRIVAL AND DESTROY PROGRAM."

Gruff voices could be heard outside the door and a door knob clicked as the door opened.

It was Baron Praxis and Count Vegar.

Torn Apart, Recreated.

A glimpse into Weapon!Jak's mind. FULL VIEW, PLZ.

Do you really want to read this? It explains all of the symbolism when you can figure it out for yourself...
Fine, then. read on.

------------------
Wooooo, Weaponverse!Jak. Basically, get canon!Jak and have him become batshit insane.

Very fun to show artistically.

And takes place shortly before he escapes.

Reviving it, thanks to my friend Taisha who inspired me to get back in the swing of things.

Anyway, commentary on this piece.

oNE: The stupid scanner cut off a bit of this. So I'm showing the main meat of the pic.

tWO: Lotsa symbolism here. Lots.

-Blood.:Shiny Black claws. Dark eco. People go bye-bye.

-As you can see, the pic of crazy Jak is ripped up and held together with pins. And there's the bloody hands with the knives and unshown thanks to the sutpid scanner, another hand holding up a nasty syringe. And the ripped up bloody INNOCENCE word.

-And there's another line that was cut off: "And God created man in his own image...
-Genesis 1:27."

Boring explanation time: Basically, it shows how Jak from TPL was pretty much torn apart by the torture, the experiments, the dark eco, the Erol, and the Baron Praxis. Then put back together into a living weapon that thirsts for their blood and takes pleasure in slaughtering things.

As for the shiny metal, it's to show the cold unfeeling metal of Haven that does not care.

"The only thing I ever wanted, the only thing I ever needed
is my own way - I gotta have it all
I don't want your opinion, I don't need your ideas
stay the fuck out of my face, stay away from me
I am my god - I do as I please"

"my mind is playing tricks on me
I am not as stable as I used to be
pushed and shoved, you know you're going too far
I will not break my back for you no more, I am gonna go my
way
I am gonna take control
time to wake up and dig myself out of this hell"

"I had enough and you're going down - shut your mouth
what comes around you know goes around"

-Lyrics from "Shut Your Mouth" by Pain

Boring Explanation Time V2: The lyrics from Jak's point of view, directed toward Erol and Praxis. He ain't gonna take this shit any more. See the psychotic grin and maniacal glint on his face despite the fact that he's muzzled? People are gonna die in horrible ways tonight. And that knock-out gas mask ain't gonna stop him.

"I came inside
I broke you down
I ended your life
I stole your soul
I was in control
and I made you mine"

-Lyrics from "End of the Line." by Pain.
Erol/Praxis POV directed toward Jak. The X and HELL FUCKING NO is Jak's defiance toward them.
