Title: General Retcons Thread
Post by: Charlie on 20 August 2020, 14:57:13
Valkyrie was born in 1981, but, three problems:
- She married Evan in 1993.
- When they first met, her Taint had already fully matured.
- Ilina was born in 1994.

So how should Kim retcon this, d'you guys think?

So it goes like this: Valkyrie is born in 1981 and she'd be 13 in 1993 and if Ilina was born in 1994, she'd be 14 if she gave birth to Ilina. You could go three ways about this:
1) You could keep it as is while adding that Valkyrie regretting giving birth to a child at such a young age and that doing so was irresponsible.
2) Make it so that Ilina simply misremembered her own birth due to being stuck in that brainwashing machine (itself a result of a retcon) for 2 years.
3) Retcon nothing because according to the LSP wiki you created, Ilina was born in 1996 (which means Valkyrie would be 16 if she give birth to Ilina, which is still a bad idea) which solves your problem anyway.

I think, looking back over some old posts, that Shinova Armweak has a similar problem, but he's a way less important character.


You could do something wacky like make Newerthian valkyries age at twice the rate of normal humans, but then you'd need to change around a lot of other things too probably.

Ilina is a tricky story!
At the time, children conceived out of wedlock were apparently illegal, and Ilina was conceived before her parents got married, so she was given up for adoption when she was born.
Her first adoptive parents... were going to name her "Toresh", the Newerthan word for "trash", and they mistreated Ilina.

Ilina was taken away by Timéa, the Goddess of Time, and taken to 1996, given to Reniat and Sefirotto (he was then the fourth Tirahnysan president). Her birth certificate was forged, as a result.
Kim says Ilina never knew this, or her real birthdate.

Hershel Triton, her first adoptive dad, died in 1997, killed by Wendy, his ex-wife, who became a writer after a 5-year jail sentence (self-defense).
Wendy seeks to atone for how she treated Ilina...

As for Shinova Armweak-Flamberge, this half-elf was adopted by Alexis Flamberge and her husband Eron Alexis Armweak (Eron Araia Armweak's brother).

This is after LS, though. And the two Alexises (Alexii?) married after LS, too.

Kim's made a lot of changes, apparently... that Taint book in Servant Quarters RR? Its author was lied to by an Erinys.

Not pictured: Valkyrie Horton and Evan O'Neill, along with their 17 daughters (as of 2023), fighting the retcons.

And Repose Horton, Ataraxis (or Saoirse Shyrmtyn), and Tranquility joining them.


Shiori Shauntal is also a Valkyrie, Kim says - a reincarnation of the Valkyrie, Natascha.
That Reincarnation Taint is messy.

Childbirth is pretty painful

Good to know!

So, he's a half-elf, huh? That's kind of nice, because so is Jiroth Caldera Horton (son of Valerie who eventually becomes president of Jalista), so that kind of makes sense, I suppose.

Jalista?

Jalista?

The future nation I made up for SS4 -- it gets founded in 2030 or somewhere thereabouts.

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you :3

... One problem to fix for LS and AS, found...

Valkyrie was born in 1981, but, three problems:
- She married Evan in 1993.
- When they first met, her Taint had already fully matured.
- Ilina was born in 1994.
 
Valkyrie has standard Taint...

... Perhaps better if moving daughters' birth dates later... though LS trilogy would lose the Valkyries we have...

Push back birth years for parents... maybe; would need finding family trees again...

..... Lots of options, but current situation prevents taking immediate action...
