Lore Question, maybe it was answered already?

[SKEWLINES]

The ski chalet, and I guess Pocket D itself since they were so linked you could see one from the other and vice-versa, who created them? We're they linked to Portal Corp in any way?

I guess the way I am asking this is confusing. Let me begin again.

DJ Zero stood(hovered) in the middle of Pocket D for its entire existence. Was he the creator of Pocket D and eventually the ski chalet? I just assumed he was a party animal. Did he have superpowers as well?

I guess I am wondering more about DJ Zeros back story, and if we are to assume he built all that, or that he just assumed control over it via having a friend in Portal Corp(maybe he used to work there) or perhaps it was also a Nemesis plot :roll: in some way to give heroes and villains a diversion.

The reason I suggest Portal Corp is that it is also linked to the Shadow Shard, and since Pocket D and the ski chalet were in the Shadow Shard, I made that connection.

Does this even make sense?

It was said that Pocket D (et al) were created by DJ Zero.  His /info said he had the power to create pocket dimensions.

Manticore said in the Canon Fodder thread that the D was not in the Shadow Shard.  Personally I think this fails the duck test but YMMV.

[SKEWLINES]

Well then am I to assume the zone where the Ouroboros ship was floating in was not the Shadow Shard either?

[Kistulot]

Where physically Ouroboros is, is up for debate. When it is, is another story as I believe Silos describes it as being a point in his past, while it's far, far in our future.

How can it be in Mender Silos past and our far far future if Mender Silos is indeed Lord Nemesis?

[FlyingCarcass]

Mender Silos lived a long time... Nemesis finding various ways to prolong his life and all that. The Eternal Nemesis and Horror of War arcs come to mind (granted, he failed in the latter (probably, you never know with Nemesis...  :P ) and faked his death in the former).

He's over a million years old - even if Ouroboros is 200,000 years in the future to us, it's still 800,000 years in the past for Mender Silos.

^^ Yah I'm pretty sure that DJ Zero stuck that pocket dimension INTO the Shard, because... yeah. It definitely looks, waddles, and quacks like a Shadow Shard shaped duck.

[Golden Girl]

As the Shadow Shard, Pocket D and Ouroboros all have asimilar look, it's possible that in the CoHverse, that's just how mini/pocket/created dimensions look.

[Zekiran]

Given how easily Portal-corp style portals opened into Pocket D's sub-pockets I would think it's a broad range of locations that are similar enough to be right next to one another.



Right along side Xen, because that's pretty clearly nearby too ;)

[Sekoia]

Original Design Documents & Lore Bible gives links that include a lore document about Rularuu. That document explains how the cosmology/multiverse of City of Heroes works and specifically explains how the Shadow Shard came to be. It doesn't directly answer how Pocket D or Ouroboros came to be, but the background information is applicable.

Re: DJ Zero-

It wasn't explicitly stated that I recall, but it was pretty heavily implied during some story arc that he was, in fact, the Greek god Eros. (I believe it was during one of the Valentine's Day arcs). I want to say that the same storyline alluded to Incarnate powers and/or the Well as well, but it's a bit hazy. Someone else here probably has a better recollection.

[Venture]

Honestly I try to forget most of the Incarnate lore. :-P

So... DJ Zero was Partying Incarnate?

[Mister Bison]

No. He was the Well of the Parties.

[Zekiran]

He definitely spiked the punch.

[The Fifth Horseman]

No. He was the Well of the Parties.

At first I read that as "Well of the Panties". Mentaaal imaaage.  :o

A bit more like a fountain-shaped explosion of underwear.  :gonk:

LOLOL...if he'd said Fountain of the Furies, I'd have probably done that!
