Your own headcanon

She survived chopping, it is really good. But my interpretation/headcannon is that not proof of everything. Extreme body destruction (crushing, lava, etc.) will do her in. Also too many subsequent wounds may surpass the capacity of the Life Gem, overheatin it let's say.

I don't think a bullet to the head would do. But crushing her head or her torso would.

I agree with this, this would definitely kill her. What I imply is that if you could completely erase her by, like, throwing her in lava, she'd be dead, no questions, since there is none of her to regenerate, although I am thinking too much of Wolverine.

I'm not disagreeing with you or anything about Painwheel being a better example, I was just looking at one side of the coin.
 
Annie had countless encounters with Double and Skullgirls before. I like to think Double takes every opportunity she can get to taunt Annie and tempt her with taking the Skullheart for herself. She does that with everyone of course, but with Annie it's different. She knows the big picture and needs to be approached differently than someone who has seen maybe one Skullgirl in his life and isn't fully aware of the consequences. She attempts to plant a seed of doubt and either break her spirit or make her think joining is the only way to win.

"We meet again, swordsman. How many times have you already failed to destroy both me and the Skullheart? How many more before you realize the futility of your efforts? Or is that a glimpse of realization I see in your soul already?"

"You are our ally, warrior. By defeating us, you make us return more and more powerful each time. We are thankful for your cooperation."

"You are at your peak, strong one. Yet our power steadily grows. How many times before you make us too strong for you to break? How many more attempts will make centuries of your efforts null? Do you wager a guess?"

"The Skullheart cannot be defeated, warrior. You of all humans knows this best. But you also know it can be controlled by a strong will. How strong is a will of a centuries old combatant?"

"Your efforts are futile either way, foolish one. Yet, would restraining us for a century not serve your goal better than pointlessness you repeat every seven years? Or are you perhaps too afraid to take on this responsibility?"

"Perhaps you are the one who can fully control the Heart. Are you willing to risk us becoming too powerful for you to defeat? Are you willing to miss this one chance, risk never finding out and wasting all those centuries? Are you?"


That sort of thing. I could word some of that better and less blatantly, but you get my point.
 
So I dunno if this is actually common knowledge and I'm just an idiot, but I never see anyone talk about this and it seems HUGE:

I'm pretty sure there's a connection between Venus and Leviathan.

Time to answer this headcanon with another headcanon.

I think Venus created all the parasites, a mother of them if you will and they all adapted different aspects of Abbadon, Venus' parasite.

That maybe the why artificial parasites don't have a conscience. Only a God can make a soul.

Maybe, but it's been said in a lore interview that there is in fact a method for making Parasites which has been lost in the present day, and that some Parasites are younger than others.

I would personally chalk it up to the presence of Theonite--given that its name is derived from the Greek for "god", it seems feasible that one would be able to achieve godlike feats with it. Such as, say, creating life forms or traveling through time.

I would chalk it up as a coincidence. There's so many characters and so many fancy transformation moves, it might happen.
In that same move (it's Center Stage, right?), Leviathan's tail forms a microphone almost identical to Eliza's so he got two rip-offs in one move. :3

I do appreciate the theory of Parasites being created by the Trinity. It's like Aeon has her own living DA page! ...I wonder where she hides all the OCs she's now embarrassed of.
In all seriousness, Aeon's parasite, Khronos, also has a draconian serpent appearance.
While many Parasites subscribe to the Teeth & Eye model, what about Muse? She's a Remote Parasite but I think she still "qualifies", right?
The Renoir Revelations Umbrella Set are Living Weapons. I think Beatrix's Cloak is as well...
Looking through the Wikia's Character section, there aren't that many true Parasite hosts.


Here's a trivial headcanon of my own - Black Dahlia sounds like Zsa Zsa Gabor.

It isn't specifically stated that the Cloak of Damocles is a Living Weapon, so I've always assumed that it's just magic. Magic is a thing in Skullgirls, it just isn't that prevalent in the Canopy Kingdom.

Wow Water, that image just gave your head canon some actual validity.
 
Here is my head canon for Theonite. Theonite is a crystalline substance that can do three things.

1. Theonite can be used to travel backwards in time, as well as travel in between timelines.
Evidence: Isaac's Theonite powered time travel glove.

2. Theonite can be used to travel through space instantaneously, as well as warp space itself.
Evidence: Not much, but the implied connection Theonite has to the Trinity tells me that it might share their powers. Aeon's control over time, Venus's control over space, and the Mother's control over, maybe life and death.

3. Theonite can give life to the lifeless, as well as bring the dead itself back to life.
Evidence: Parasites and Living Weapons are created using Theonite, Skullgirls give off huge amounts of Theonite radiation and their signature trait is the ability to raise the dead.

Here's the thing: WHY does Center Stage move the screen like it does? You could just say "because video game" but what if it's more complicated than that? What if it's meant as an in-game representation of the power to manipulate space?

Squigly can drag opponents towards her without actually touching them. She can lock the screen in place by making the world seem smaller than it really is. Look at Daisy Pusher, she can bury an opponent alive and then make the coffin appear from the top of the screen. How the hell does she do that? Venus' powers tend to involve a lot more teeth and gore and screaming mouths, but they work on pretty much the same principle.

So my theory is: Leviathan USED to be part of Venus/Abaddon, but somehow got the ability to break away from them. He still retains a tiny bit of Abaddon's power, which is represented by Squigly's ability to drag the screen around and make coffins fall out of the sky.

It also explains why he's able to prevent the Skullgirl from influencing Squigly's mind - technically, he's above Marie on the "hierarchy".

I knew that. Just making sure people are paying attention. >_>

Space manipulation and hierarchical status.... why didn't you say that in the first place? :3
Count me convinced. Very good, very good indeed.

...but what about the fact that Leviathan (and Samson and Sekhmet) are from a time before the Skull Heart? Did the Trinity exist at that point and were still on the initial stages of Parasite Making 101?

I have to go with Denizen on this one--the IGG page says that the Cloak has "genuinely supernatural properties", but it's not actually ever been mentioned to be a Living Weapon. I don't think there's an official term for magical or enchanted items yet, but it's likely just a tier below Living Weapons or some such.

As for the Leviathan theory, nice sleuthing! Though considering that lore interview answer I mentioned earlier, I would still hold that not all Parasites are spawned directly from the Trinity. Leviathan (and, by possible extension, Samson, Sekhmet and Sagan) is known to be ancient, but as it's been said, other Parasites have been made since. They could serve as the progenitors for other Parasites, perhaps? Could be that the existence of Leviathan and the like provided the "blueprints" that enabled the production of other Parasites.

After all, having a Parasite is considered a stigma--If they were insanely rare and hard to find, I doubt most people would even have heard of them, let alone been able to gather enough negative publicity to build a poor public opinion of the people who host them.

Also, just a random addition to Denizen's headcanon--since Synthetic Parasites have Theonite in them, Peacock's Avery Unit could be another piece of evidence possibly contributing toward both the "space manipulating" and the "giving life to the lifeless" (bringing her gang to life) parts of that theory.
 
I have a headcanon that the whoooooole SG universe happens inside the mind of Peacock's broken mind. Why, well. A world in which all kind of characters collude. Characters that could be considered proper of what a child addicted to cartoons and why not, violence on tv would consider cool. Hence, that in the world she created in her mind she's a cartoon like being.
lmao those are my two cents.
I also think Cocktail is bs but that's a different story
 
Well, after Fukua's story mode and Lab Zero's confirmation that it is non cannon we have gotten new material.

Mine:

Brain Drain was able to collect Filia's and Samson's DNA to create Fukua's body. Although powerfull the body is unstable due to the fact that he made a mindless artificial parasite (Shamson) of a natural parasite. His plan was to place a soul subservient to Lab Zero.

But the incident with the two warriors happened. Being more powerfull beings than usual, and being two they proved to be difficult to control and escaped. It really was a bad luck lottery for the Zero's.

However considering that:

-Human souls are not made to coexist in a body.
-One of the warriors was not exactly normal and the other was way worse.
-The body's brain is different from their brains.

Not good for sanity.

In the end two souls and one unstable body proved to be to much and Fukua died.

But the unique conditions of Fukua gave her powers beyond the physical realm and now they exist as a spectre.

Searching for a new body to live she/they looked for one that would be able to hold their unique condition.
They found Filia.

After their story mode Fukua was able to link herself to her Filia. Each time she kills Filia in the nightmare lands she gets closer to taking over.
 
My headcanon regarding Fukua:

The Trinity is absolutely terrified of her. They have no clue what exactly she is or where she came from, but what they do know is that she is perhaps the most dangerous thing in existence. If she was to successfully enter the physical realm, it would mean the end of all life. Venus managed to seal her in another dimension and then destroyed the entrance to it so that no one would be able to release her ever again. The Trinity had believed that they managed to get rid of her for good.

Several eons later, Filia began having some unusual and terrifying dreams...

Woah, I only knew about one!
You know, given what she is, one could argue that it's entirely possible for there to be multiple versions of her at various points in time.
 
Random, but a couple of trauma-related ones:

Ileum has a phobia of fire due to having been a burn victim. She's composed about it, but she'll get nervous even if it's something as small as a lit match.

Peacock has a severe aversion to physical contact. It's not a phobia--she reacts by lashing out in anger, not fear. When you get manhandled like she was, you're not likely to go on liking people getting all touchy-feely with you, y'know?

(Also, because she's a keepaway character. Puns!)

Peacock having a broken mind is kind of precluded by her being cartoonish, though. She was perfectly sane before she became Peacock, so this would just end up as a weirdly cyclical theory... she'd just be imagining herself imagining herself imagining herself imagining herself ad infinitum P:

Also, all shipping is inherently BS, so no worries. Unless the characters in question are clearly shown ingame doing something romantic with the authorial intent of them being romantically inclined, that shit ain't canon. And isn't it a beautiful thing? :)

Ahh dunno man. I'm basing myself on stuff like post-war trauma on that headcanon. I think it'd kinda make sense. Yo cocktail tho, Idk i just don't roll with it when it gets 2romantical or 2fluffly. Mostly because I don't see peacock being the romantic fluffly kind lel

I believe it's what you get when you mix two different drinks. Might be wrong, though.
 
Fukua's headcanons are all interesting on this page. I feel like her physical body is in stasis somewhere in Lab 0 and her "Fights" are dreams that allow Brian Drain to observe tactics and movesets of others in order to properly plan for battles. It is also how he gathered the data to make Robo-Fortune.

EDIT: Part of the reason he made Fukua was because Painwheel mentioned/sought her out and he thought a familiar look-alike would keep her from constantly rebelling.

I think the fundamental difference between the two parties here is that, at least in my opinion, the ideal best-case scenario involves nothing that comes even close to shipping.

It annoys me when people make strong characters all love stricken and needy, anyway. Ugh. If you absolutely must insist on it, at least write a 50,000 word count fanfic or something to extensively develop and flesh out the drastic character changes; otherwise it's just frivolous wish fulfillment, y'know?
