Skullgirls Lore Speculation

[BallotBoxer]

Back when we were talking about Leviathan possibly eating Squigly's left eye on page 15, the general consensus was that it was Leviathan, smeared in Roberto's blood, or perhaps normally red (we've only seen Leviathan with Squigly, so it is unknown if he looked different with other hosts) squirming over to Squigly.

Leviathan's similarities to Abaddon are important, though. As the canon info thread says:

Squigly and Leviathan is able to tap into Abaddon's ability to manipulate space to perform moves such as Centre Stage.

and

The Trinity live on a separate plane of existence called The Abyss. This realm does not interact with the normal world except in extremely rare cases; so rare, in fact, that Alex answered with regards to if Aeon/Venus had ever meddled in mortal affairs, "no, never." His comments about Squigly/Leviathan possibly ripping a hole in space via Abaddon's power (thus allowing Venus into their world) does make it clear that the realms can connect, though.

So it leaves some big questions about Leviathan's origins. Can parasites be related to each other? Can Leviathan be that godlike parasite's cousin or son?

I can't rule out it isn't Abaddon, like a flicker of its other-dimensional power, but it is more logical for it to be Leviathan.

Nope nope nope. Marie has already been confirmed as one of the "weaker" skullgirls in the long line of skull ladies.

I agree Marie is noted as being a weak Skullgirl, but I wouldn't say she's the weakest. The only Skullgirl I'm sure of is powerful Queen Nancy Renoir.

 

[FakeangeL]

Every economy is puny when compared to the US and China.

Coming out of the heels of the strongest Skullgirl ever created does Marie no favors.

 

[Shantih3x]

We also have to consider that Marie's willpower and determination to, well, clean house was strong enough that the Skull Heart could not completely control her. Being a lull period after the war probably aided in that hampering as well. Also, it would not be surprising that Double went with Marie because she could not reach Umbrella, one who actually has the potential to be a much stronger Skullgirl than her mother.

 

[Sotherius]

I'm thinking a lot about parasites.

Seriously, i've had some things in mind, and i was not sure if should make a thread to discuss that, or just speculate here.

But, i have imagined, about Parasites having a evolution, of some sort, or a new place to go.

Here, you see, Leviathan and Squigly or Samson and Filia, in both cases, we have 2 different persons "sharing" a same body, or 2 bodies together. But they have a mind of their own, and both minds are active.

But, look at the artificial parasites, they are silent, i mean, what is shown of peacock's parasite can be just her imagination going crazy, but, painwheel, her parasites don't have any sort of manifestation, or personality.

(But hey, they are sinthetic parasites, they probably don't have a mind of their own).

And that might be right. But then, we have 4 ancient parasite users that were the reason for me to start intriguing this line.

Venus, Aeon, Annie and Eliza.

Here is the thing, we haven't seen much from venus and aeon, but the few we've seen of them, they look each one as one creature, not 2. I mean, is only one creature, in one body. The same with Eliza, we've seen a lot of Eliza in action, and we don't see her interacting with her parasite (i've pointed that before), which implies that there is only 1 mind, and 1 body. And not seeing much, we have Annie and her parasite. And this is a bit of a stretch here, but Annie's parasite is not even attached to her body all the time, but don't show having a mind of his own, and there is the fusion form, showed in R. Fortune story.

Now, what i'm thinking.

That there are levels of bonding, between a host and a parasite. And that eventually, a parasite and host can become one, And at that point, they cannot be split again. Their souls become one, their bodies are already together, and they become possibly one mind (i'll get back to this later). And i think the artificial parasytes, already have that level of union forced, it is mentioned that they have to control the "soul contamination", so the connection of a parasyte and a host is something that goes to this level.

Now, the mind part, here is what i think. I imagine that is possible, when both minds become one, that 3 possible things happening. The host, takes control of the mind, and the mind of the parasyte dies (i don't have much to talk here, but annie or Painwheel comes to mind, having inactive (not talking) parasytes and still having their minds. Both really becoming one being mind, and that mind is the result of the union, giving "born" to a new person (i don't have anything to sustain that really, Eliza, could be it, or the third possibility). And the third possibility, is the parasyte taking control, killing the mind of the host (For some reason, i don't think eliza is Eliza, but she is Sekhmet, since she is so found of parasytes but doesn't show kindness to humans, but, maybe some traces of the human that once was eliza may be imprinted in Sekhmet, Also i remember seeing that one of the indiegogo characters being a version of Samson that became out of control, and that version has a "dead" Filia as a host)

This is all speculation, and i'm sure i was not clear enough in my thoughts, but i had to write this, my mind was screaming.

 

[The Dave]

mind is the result of the union, giving "born" to a new person (i don't have anything to sustain that really, Eliza, could be it, or the third possibility). And the third possibility, is the parasyte taking control, killing the mind of the host (For some reason, i don't think eliza is Eliza, but she is Sekhmet, since she is so found of parasytes but doesn't show kindness to humans, but, maybe some traces of the human that once was eliza may be imprinted in Sekhmet, Also i remember seeing that one of the indiegogo characters being a version of Samson that became out of control, and that version has a "dead" Filia as a host)

"The true strength of a Theon lies in the bond with their avatar. That being the case... it's more like four against one. But think a little before you mistake that for an advantage."

It seems sensible that late-stage Parasitic bonding is a full union of entities. I think that's the standard narrative development for symbiotic entities, the tool becoming the master? More Venom, less Eddie Brock over time.

Hm... I wonder if that means removing a Theon from a late-stage bond and transferring it to a new host will result in remnants of the old host showing up? IE maybe we'll start seeing hints of Delilah in Filia?

As for Annie, I seem to recall something about "Remote Parasites" a la Sagan requiring a part of the host (Annie's eye) removed and permanently bonded to the Parasite in order for them to operate independently. Hence, for the Season 2 upgrade, Annie gets her eye back but is further bonded to Sagan. We don't know if the upgrade can be undone; I'm leaning towards 'yes' because "Super Saiyan" forms are typically reserved for climactic battles and the original form is predominantly used to maintain show-branding.

As for Eliza, what I think would be interesting is for the human to have influenced the parasite in this rare instance: Namely, that Eliza the human was the power hungry general, and Sekhmet was "just here for the food." This would also be why Eliza's mostly calmed down over time: Union with Sekhmet caused her to mellow out. It would be easy for an ambitious, iron-willed human to manipulate a bloodthirsty power source for greater advantage, and there's literary precedent for "human ambition is why we can't have nice things." Eliza's human half in the driver's seat also makes it more believable for them to betray Lamia/Aeon/Venus, since a formerly-repressed, ambitious human would hold a grudge.

 

[Sotherius]

I believe that is not that much of the Venom case (while i can think of the venom being eddy + symbiotic thing), i believe that is possible, let's say, in the case of Filia.

That Filia and Samson become one. And that one is not Filia, and is not Samson, but is the product of both, their minds, memories, tastes and personality, in one single being.

And i would imagine that if that point is reached, it becomes impossible to separate the Theon from the Avatar.

I imagine that would be the case with Eliza, or that sekhmet took control over the human.

 

[BallotBoxer]

Four ancient parasites/hosts: Abaddon/Venus, Khronos/Aeon, Sekhmet/Eliza, and Skull Heart. (and maybe Double as "Fallen Lamia")

I would not include Annie as "ancient" as she's barely an eighth of their supposed ages. She's a few centuries, they are pushing at least a couple millennia. Maybe somewhere around 4000 years if they want to go to an equivalent of Ancient Egypt.

Sagan has a mind of his own. The canon info thread even mentions:

Sagan can talk. Somehow.

But the mental tug-of-war of personalities for hosts and parasites is an interesting topic.

That thing that calls herself Eliza is a shining example of two blending into one. If a telepath were to peak in Neferu, the Crimson Scourge's mind, I wonder if they would "hear" the inner monologue as two voices. Eliza and Sekmet's thoughts may align, but there are moments of separation. Like during gameplay, an unleashed Sekmet is pure raw aggression (Butchery! Ha ha ha!) while Eliza is more haughty and shows more finesse. Hard to tell if this aspects of their combined personality, or traits of their two selves. Being roomates in the same skull for thousands of years, I think they mutually merged into one.

I think synthetic parasites are by default "silent." No personality to suppress as they are technology implanted into the host's body. I'd say Avery is an invention of Peacock's imagination just as George, Andy, and Tommy are creations of her godlike powers.

 

[Sotherius]

I'm more curious on what kind of power, that said union can achieve. And i believe that the case with peacock is exactly what you said.


Like, Eliza is immortal, and powerful she is a boss after all.

Which makes me think back to Filia.

I mean, for the "ryu" of the game, i always felt that she was too disconected to the story.

But with both squigly and eliza story mode, we can see, that the fact that she is attached to samson, can bring her to the major plot of the series.

 

[The Dave]

I mean, for the "ryu" of the game, i always felt that she was too disconected to the story.

Well, Ryu is kind of disconnected from Street Fighter. He travels the earth, training and striking a balance between tapping into and resisting a forbidden power. The main plot tried to steal his body driving him to give into said forbidden power once or twice, but otherwise he pretty much does his own thing separate from M. Bison's shenanigans.

So, Filia would pretty much meander from place to place, further bonding with Samson while trying to learn about her past (training, if you will). Samson may take over once or twice in an emergency. Squigly's the Ken (similar power source [Parasitic Bonding/Satsui No Hado], moves are a bit more fiery, closer family connections, friendly rivalry with Ryu) and Eliza's the Akuma (fully tapped into the power source while encouraging this power to take over Ryu and "unlock it's full potential," willing and able to kill when necessary, has killed other old masters of the power source though it didn't really stick [Lamia/Gouken], looks down on lesser mortals, has a horizontal hit grab that deals many hits of damage and ends in a fancy signature on the screen).

Skullgirls has way, way more enemy factions than Street Fighter, so I don't know who's supposed to be M. Bison in this case. On the one hand, B. Dahlia's confrontation with Eliza at the end of their story mode could parallel Akuma going after M. Bison in SF 2, and this puts Cerebella in a nice position to be "the Zangief" (good-hearted wrestler who happens to work for bad people sometimes). On the other hand, Brain Drain fits many of the "floaty mad scientist" roles and is responsible for Painwheel, who I think nicely mirrors Sagat (scarred and driven slightly mad by Ryu's moments of being a jerk, similar power though not from the same source).

I'm not familiar with the whole Illuminati plotline, so if there're parallels there I'll probably miss them until Skullgirls gets a floaty, teleporting jerk who runs around in his underwear.

Still, this means we could see Brain Drain send Painwheel to capture Filia for study, and Eliza following them to wreck face.

 

[ArgonBern]

SF in SG

I don't know, the whole seems kinda weird.

Talking about comparing, am I the only one to notice how the Trinity is divided into time, space and the main all-knowing being like in Pokemon with Dialga, Palkia and Arceus? (minus Giratina)

I know this must sound stupid at first but does that kind of order come as inspiration from some culture IRL or just a coincidence? If it is really based off of something does that mean there's a hidden extra-dimensional being in the lore? Eliza must not count because according to the Canon info thread she was just a commander or something.


Also I'm convinced Umbrella isn't really seeing her mother.

 

[CatfishZealot]

So anyone have any thoughts on why Carol was chosen to be Painwheel in the first place? Since that's one thing I've been wondering ever since I've played.

 

[Sotherius]

So anyone have any thoughts on why Carol was chosen to be Painwheel in the first place? Since that's one thing I've been wondering ever since I've played.

My bet would be, Valentine picked the first defenseless girl that she saw.

Now, there is one thing.

Filia. Filia doesn't know about herself or her past, but somehow she blames herself for the actual state of painwheel.

And i don't know if it is confirmed, but the general idea, is that Filia herself asked Samson to wipe her memories. So, i imagine, that somehow, filia getting Samson in her head is related to Carol being kidnapped by Valentine and being subject to Brain Drain's experiences...

 

[BallotBoxer]

From the memory fragments flashed in the game, it seems Filia has many memories of a smiling Carol, so they appeared to be close friends. So I can't see her intentionally selling her friend to become a lab rat. Maybe there was moment of cowardice "take her not me!" but why would a ninja nurse crash a schoolgirl slumber party?

Lab 8 has theonite detection tech. Peacock wakes to a massive reading and is lead around town by these spikes of power. Big Band follows his theonite detection to the Casino, a distraction that allows Valentine to lead Double right into Lab 8.

If Lab 8 can track the energy signature of parasites, what are the chances of Lab 0 poaching the technology and using it to look into the minor blips on the radar? Maybe Samson and his dog host were followed into Maplecrest. So that gives a plausible reason for Valentine to be in the neighborhood, but there are plenty of missing pieces.

Maybe Double is involved in there somewhere. Look what she did to Selene Contiello. She was like "Oops your whole family just got taken from you. In your ultimate despair, if only you had some kind of wish-granting magic artifact."

Wait, samson's host before filia was a dog? i didn't knew that...

But i always imagined something in the lines you said, "take her, not me!".

Or Carol in some heroic act ends up captured in filia's place, and filia blames herself for that.

I say that because Carol, doesn't have memory problems, and she doesn't have any sort of rancor or anger towards Filia, as it is showed after they fight, well, except for the fact that Carol attacked filia in the first place, but that might be a misunderstanding, where Carol just shout: FILIAAA, and Filia attacked thinking that she was an enemy.

 

[The Dave]

I thought I read somewhere that, before Samson, Filia was kind of a bitch. From that I guess she sold out Carol for something really mean and petty.

- Filia didn’t have a lot of genuine, sincere friends; most people sucked up to her or were afraid of her due to her being a mafia princess. Carol was one of her few true friends.

Kind of weird we know so little about the main "face" of the game...

 

[BallotBoxer]

Exactly! Makes one wish for a prequel to see such an important hidden chapter for two characters.

Wait, samson's host before filia was a dog? i didn't knew that...

I think it was Denizen in one of these lore threads that pointed out to me that the dog shown in the few memory fragments has a curious zig-zag in its fur, as if it was the toothsome grin of Samson.

Spoiler: 3 memory fragments

1. left to right: Carol, Maplecrest, mysterious young man, possible dog host for Samson

2. left to right: classmates, Filia before Samson, Carol

3. clockwise, from the left: Possibly Filia's parents, Filia talking to Carol at the Grand Cathedral, Mrs. Victoria in front of the school, and three Medicis (Vitale, uknown, possibly one of Lorenzo's sons, and Lorenzo)

Carol is Filia's best friend, yet she doesn't go to Filia's school. So they must live close in the same neighborhood.

So why was Carol kidnapped and Filia feel guilty?

Perhaps Filia was targeted and she intentionally or unintentionally used Carol as a shield. Like if you want to mess with Lorenzo, why not go after his granddaughter? Maybe Double schemed for the mob princess to become an anti-Skullgirl Lab experiment, but Valentine grabbed Carol by mistake while Filia cowered in hiding. By doing nothing, she let her best friend go to save herself.

That's a bit of a stretch, just like why would Samson approach a distraught schoolgirl that betrayed her friend? In the alternate ending, Filia begged Samson to devour her bad memories. But what does he gain by allying himself with a novice? Was he sniffing for a way into the Medicis? Tired of stray dog hosts? Or was it a dire situation in which either Filia or Samson were dying and the only route to survival was to bond (like if Samson's dog host was hit by a car)? Infinite possibilities.

 

[TechPowah]

Are we sure that a dog was Samson's host before Filia
there's no back-eyes in that pic, and the zig-zag doesn't really look like his mouth at all

 

[ArgonBern]

Has Umbrella ever seen her mother, either before or after the skullgirl transformation? Parasoul's story mode mentions her mother was pregnant with Umbrella when she wished upon the Skullheart.

This is confusing though, because her wish transformed her in a monster that united the nations. Then how did she concieve her? Was Umbrella around when she died/turned into a skullgirl? Our terrible wiki doesn't help with this potential plothole. The Canon info thread also has little about Umbry.

As show in both Filia and Parasoul's story mode, there is some time between the wish, and the skullgirl transformation...

So it probably goes something like that, Umbrella's mother wish on the skullheart, so, she eventually will turn into the skullgirl, but before that, she has some sweet love time with her husband, and umbrella is born, after that, we don't know how much time, she becomes the most powerful skullgirl ever seen.

So, Umbrella basically was made inside a body that was flowing with Skullheart energy, and so, she got something out of it.

 

[The Dave]

I was under the impression that Queen Nancy wished while pregnant, and then delivered before the transformation was complete. I suppose maximum "baby steeped in evil Skull-Juice" would involve conception, say, the night of the wish; on the other hand, flesh limbs turning into zombie parts a la Marie's waist would probably impede baby development. Do we have any indication of how long these transformations take place?

 

[BallotBoxer]

Transformations are tricky. Selene Contiello looked to turn full Skullgirl the same day she wished for her freshly-slaughtered family to come back. Marie is a mystery, but Nancy Renoir appears to have had a years-long transformation. Basic math demands it: Umbrella is supposed to be like 10 and Nancy went full Skullgirl and died 7 years ago so...

I think the confusion stems from a comment by Double in Parasoul's story mode, and Umbrella's uncertain age (said to be 10 or 11, confirmed in canon info thread).

Double's quote about Umbrella's affinity for Skullgirl power:

Double: As you suspected, as your mother carried your sister as she also carried the Skull Heart.
Double: Darling Umbrella is already attuned to the Skull Heart's power, thus she will forge a stronger and more terrifying bond than even that of your mother.
Parasoul: So... it's true. But I won't allow that to happen!​

Meaning that Nancy Renoir was a host of the Skull Heart parasite before, during, and after the pregnancy.

This is how I see the timeline based on info from the game and the canon thread:

• -14 years: Skullgirl Selene Contiello defeated. Skull Heart's whereabouts unknown
• somewhere in the next four years: Double gives Skull Heart to Queen Nancy Renoir. She makes her wish and begins the slow transformation into a Skullgirl
• -10 years: Umbrella born
• -7 years: transformation complete! Skullgirl Nancy Renoir's rampage begins

When the Queen fully turned Skullgirl, Umbrella was 3 and Parasoul was 18. In the present, the two princesses are 10 and 25.

Are we sure that a dog was Samson's host before Filia

I agree it isn't much to go on, but with so little memory fragments, it is fair to say each image should have great significance. I dunno, the line is too odd to be a fur highlight and there are plenty of examples of Samson closing his eyes and mouth to "hide."

I agree with you there, those zig zags are too well placed to not mean anything.

 

[Whisper]

I apologize in advance if this has been covered somewhere already, but has anybody ever brought up what exactly will happen to Samson once Filia's transformation into the next Skullgirl is complete? I know in Squigly's story mode, Leviathan hints that Samson is pushing Filia to pursue it, so I assume the change would benefit Samson in some way. Perhaps the final product would be the monstrous, hostless incarnation of Samson we saw as potential DLC?

But we don't know if Filia is the next skullgirl yet...

And we don't know why Samson got attached to Filia in the first place.

And we don't know how the skullheart react to parasites.

So, the space for speculation here is giant.

 

[The Dave]

I think it was mentioned somewhere early in the thread that Parasites get transformed, too. The extend of their transformation would vary with the extent of the bond with their host. I think.

[EDIT] Found it!

When a Parasite host becomes the Skullgirl, the Parasite too is likewise corrupted into the undead. They could lose their individuality as well. This process also depends on the wish of the host as well.

Also, since this thread's up again anyway: Anybody think Valentine's lvl 5 (Forbidden Procedure: Rebirth ex Machina) might be canon? Bella's "Diamonds are Forever" is, so this might be a good way to get around getting stabbed by the plot. And it could be how Valentine plans to "save Christmas."

 

[Sotherius]

I mean, in skullgirls fights people don't actually die (most of the times at least).

I think her level 5 is more close to the real life procedure, of just making someone's heart beat again (or reanimate the person).

But the saving christmas still got me intrigued, like, at first, i thought it was something like: "save the day, to the good deed, and such", since even when working with Marie, she was still doing her things to make sure the skullgirl is defeated. But then i remembered that there is a character named Christmas.

Which brings me back to another thing.

Dr Avian. Like, Who was the people that invaded lab 8 and "Killed" everyone? According to Big band's story mode, it was Valentine. But in Beowulf's ending, a storyline where the invasion to lab 8 happens, Dr Avian is alive at the end. So i was thinking, it might be possible that Valentine did a fake kill on the people? Like, she has medical knowledge to some extent, so i imagine faking something like that is possible for her.

And would fit the idea, that valentine is doing everything that she can to guarantee that somehow the skullheart gets destroyed.

 

[The Dave]

it might be possible that Valentine did a fake kill on the people?

Could be. I think that's what she does for her Lvl 2 super (the counter.)

 

[Whisper]

And we don't know how the skullheart react to parasites.

I guess this was more of my question, especially since Samson is a dude. Whether or not Filia is the "next" Skullgirl is way over my head, considering a lot of the characters would technically be the "next" Skullgirl; I probably should have made this more clear.


As for Valentine's supers, I'd think that there's potential for her level 5 to be canon, but her level 2 just seems like an attempt to add more of a ninja-esque super to her move list.

Eh, I'm not all that familiar with the classic "ninja tropes," but Val does have a ready supply of filled-up body bags. A little cosmetic surgery, a little silicon in the right places, she can probably make it look like whoever she wants.

 

[FakeangeL]

All of the super are canon, even if they envolve smoke, mirrors and misdirection

 

[zzMedVeDzz]

I have a question. Some time SG2 will be a thing, and it will be based on the first game lore and mobile game lore. The main game lore sais nothing about sequel. The endings of the characters are split in 2 types:1) You defeated Marie - You will be the next "Marie". 2) You destroyed skullheart, fixed your problems - Some one else will be "Marie" in next generation. It's very blant in terms of content. They all fix only their problems, and if you remove them from the lore nothing will change.
"Cannon all we know thread" says, that Elize is potentialy will be main villain of the second game. She is clearly "evil", she fights on equals with Marie, and, the most important, her ending is impactful for the SG world. It creates big important conflict, and is a good base for a sequel. She kicked Marie's ass. Marie losing, became playable character, new threat, new interactions, new possibilitys, personage and story development - all the good stuff. Except one. In this ending Cerebella dies.

So the question: Is Cerebella death cannon?

Obviously they will not change original lore, and their best "clifhanger" is Elize final battle, in wich Cerebella is dead.

 

[Magma442]

So the question: Is Cerebella death cannon?

God I hope not!

Also I dont remember an ending where a character becomes this "Marry" person. i dont think theres a Merry in the game :)

 

[ArgonBern]

I hope this Elize is cannon.

I'd sure be merry if I had a death cannon. And, after all the characters get married, we can have Skullkids: The Next Generation. Then maybe we can get a new stage, Mariel's Merry-Go-Round, and a new French character, Merde Maude.

Aaaaaanyway, from vague memories of past lore threads:

• No single story mode is canon. The "true events" are a combination of Umbrella, Black Dahlia, and Marie.
• There are multiple timelines, with each character's Story Mode representing a timeline; one of them is a "True Timeline."
• In this true timeline, everybody makes it to the sequel. Strange, out-of-multiverse creative deities don't want to waste their work.
• Destroying the Skull Heart brings it back in seven years.
• Skullgirls 2 was going to feature Eliza as the main villain.
• The first installment of the mobile game is a prequel of some sort.

 

[ArgonBern]

And, after all the characters get married, we can have Skullkids: The Next Generation.
