Ideas for *potential* Eyedol backstory

^^^ or that, that works too.

But then original fans would be all “BUT…he’s a SHADOW LORD LIKE GARGOS WHY IS HE NOT A SHADOW LORD!!!”

Then something something something about him not being like he used to be and yada yada yada so on and so fourth.

I have to accept Cinder as an ex-military while in classic KI he was a thug. Haters gonna hate. Deal with the new. Leave windows 7 behind LOL

Hey it’s not me. I don’t lose anything from eyedol’s inclusion or exclusion.

There’s 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse. We could suggestively show that the Shadow Lords are basically them and that Gargos is 1 of them (likely war) and Eyedol yet another. Then that would leave room for 2 more, which would really help expand the lore to places it has never even been. :slight_smile:

Eyedol could be an alien warlord this time around instead of a demi god.

from a post i made a while back on predicting may happen

ARIA will use any means she has to in order to accomplish her goals, do you really think using one of the shadow beings to fight Gargos would be out of the question? She’ll do whatever it takes and then some.

This is kinda suitable for Gargos since he comes from an unknown dimension. Enough with the aliens. We have 3 already. Glacius, Arbiter and RAAM.

Raam’s not an alien.

nope? Thats good to hear :sweat_smile:

Yeah if anything he’s a super mutant from underground.

“For years Ultratech had claimed that the company was actually run by the artificial intelligence program known as ARIA; but Maya had always thought that this was merely a ploy—a smokescreen for a cabal of men and women working behind the scenes. Humans could be tried for human rights violations and white collar crimes. But what could the courts—or even the government—do to punish a program? Nothing.”

“Came out of a portal” is good enough for just about anything.

People will definitely complain. Heck even if he has the exact same story as he did in classic KI, someone will probably say that IG wasn’t being creative and just copycatting the old games. I’m cool if IG does either…

Personally I’ve always kinda pictured a backstory where Eyedol is this ancient ultimate weapon of Earth Dimension that no one knows about. A being of unspeakable power who is maybe released due to Gargos’s meddling, or any meddling from other powerful dimensional beings. He rises from the darkness to annihilate enemies that threaten our dimension/universe and just as easily disappears afterwards. He has no interest in politics or humanity’s survival. He is simply there to keep the balance.

Actually now that I type it, kinda like Godzilla from the new movie. Big badass that is there to keep everyone in line. When the balance is restored he takes off.

Haha yeah just animate him into the back of Rash’s intro, sneaking out of his portal while no one is looking. Could be an Easter egg for Season 4 lol

Chud, Mole-men, or Fraggles?

I like the idea of Eyedol being on earth in hibernation, but I think keeping the connection between him and UT is a mistake.

IMO when Gargos invades Earth, the battle/corruption should awaken Eyedol, and either Eyedol is the one to take on Gargos, or once Gargos is taken out Eyedol makes his move.

I like the OG story of Gargos and Eyedol fighting over earth in the distant past, and I think that should come back, but UT playing any part other than observing him, or waking him up accidentally, would be bad IMO.
