What Gaia Memory defines you?
 

After watching the first Eternal film, which involves the Memories actively seeking out those with the strongest genetic connection to them, it got me thinking about this question and I thought it'd be a fun little thread.

Personally - for me - I think I'd say Clay Doll. Ignoring all the ridiculous revelations at the end of the show, at its core Clay Doll is a very weak memory but it's also one that allows the user to get up from anything. I think that suits me well, I'm not the most physically powerful of people but I will always be able to stand up again. And as such, I think me and Clay Doll are perfect for one another, even if I absolutely HATED that design :lol- and is for a girl...

Honestly, speaking strickly about the memory and not the user? Skull. A dark memory that causes more harm than good, and is a burden to anyone it comes into contact with. A monument to abuse of power and inherant instability that takes someone strong to overcome, but itself is something completely undesirable and heralds suffering and misery.

A non-self-loathing choice would probably be Luna. Illusions, misdirection and a sense of freedom. If something moves out of reach, stretch out and grab it. It's all about creating something insubstancial, that is used for practical purposes.

This thread got dark fast :lol

And yeah, speaking entirely of the memories without the users, just like in the movie. Which I recognise is easier said than done, being that a lot of Memories were fairly poorly defined.

I'd say Luna. Mostly for the reasons Split Lip stated.

One of the whole deals with W is that a great many of the memories and their powers aren't explicitly defined or of either dark or light persuasion until they're used. Though some are fairly straightforward. (Trigger is just... you got a gun now. A really powerful gun, but yeah no surprises, it's a gun. Point and shoot you passed the test)

Hell, if you really wanted to get exploritory and see past intended uses, you could say Trigger sort of ebodies a harsh "practicality." Much like guns themselves, which are ultimately tools designed to do one thing and do it well and quickly, Trigger is a quick, efficient solution. It's not about doing things a certain, delicate way, it's about doing them one way, and doing it quickly. Indeed the Trigger dopant was a very calm, efficient, no-nonsense person. Solving things practically and quickly.

Such exploration could be applied to many memories.

Yesterday. Because that's where my mind is, with or without my permission.

Accel. Don't ask me why.

Perfect. :lol

Bravo sir.

Was there ever a music or southern related one? :lol

Am I missing a joke here with the Accel thing?

Because Ryu had a thing where he hated people asking him questions. :lol

Oh shit!

The subs I used used the line 'Don't question me.' So I totally missed the gag.

If you need to ask, you'll never know. If you know, all you need is ask.

I'd either be Joker or Star. Star because people claim that I always brighten up their day with my uncanny sense of humor and Joker because well I think I already explained that. Yes there's actually a Star memory I'm not making it up. Now all I need is Runner, Kicker, Diver Blade and Blast and I'll be good to go! :D

Ryu hated a lot of things and he did have good reason for that. I just find it hard to take him seriously since he married Womanchild Akiko. I was not amused by her attics during W Returns: Accel.

As for a Gaim Memory that suits me: Nasca. I tend to want to rush things yet I have a good heart despite how I may come off sometimes.

Virus.

One with such potential, but stifles it, as well as being the worst person on the internet.

I was never told about this!

Second worst.

I didn't hear about this!

What does that have to do with the Nasca memory? That's Nasca the person, though.

If you're like the Nasca you're a bunch of lines in the Earth? Perhaps someone who is like Nasca believes in contacting people higher than themselves, and putting on grand gestures to communicate and make contact with far away idividuals. To appease, or simply know, they want to connect. With God, or aliens, or even just someone who see as worlds away, but want to try anyhow.

Cyclone would represent me more I believe.

I guess I didn't really think of putting up a notice so people didn't make this mistake.

I feel like that may be me more.

Mine might be Magma. I have a bit of a short temper.

Mine is probably trial.

Rushing things constantly, and it often backfires.

Not really sure I can define myself by a single Gaia Memory but Sweets does work for me in that I'm a picky eater except when it comes to desserts I'll try almost anything.

I'll go with the Metal memory :rock:

:lol That's pretty good. Why didn't I think of that?

MONEY!

...because I'm so f'ing broke...>_<
