Eternum Theme

Arlyn··2 votes·1,818 views

Alright, so with all these amazing, cool, future tech skin themes out and about. PROJECT, Battlecast and Mecha. I desire more for the Eternum skins! Sure there is only 2 of them, Nocturne and Rek'Sai. But There has to be a background to it, a lore of some kind. All I can piece and speculate is if you have played the Mass Effect Trilogy they are similar to the Reapers. The Eternum theme is similar to that. Going off by Nocturnes quotes "The first are we. The last are we.", "We transcend time.", and "Their existence is a mistake." It seems like Nocturne and RekSai are a far futuristic machine race that is sent or only purpose is to watch/destroy over their galaxy/planet. I love this theme the most out of any of them. Down to the design of the sleek and flawless armor with that red, soul like glow coming out of them and to a champion's quote. But what is the backstory of these skins? Is there more coming far down the line? Is there more Eternum skins coming? Is this just the beginning of their invasion to fix this "mistake". Is Noc and Rek just the sovereign beginning of what's coming? Already trying to destroy what is around them?

If anyone has ideas for a lore for this, please discuss! Hell Riot if you can give me some sort of lore for this amazing skin theme, please help!

It's totally referencing/based upon Reapers from Mass Effect. A synthetic/organic hybrid race designed to harvest advanced life in the galaxy in order to gather data/resources. I love it.

I would love to see more of the Eternum skins, next to the guardians of the sands series, they're my favorite set. I think it's just difficult to find proper champions to give them to.

I just can't think of many proper candidates at least based on who has received them already you know? They seem to go to champions with tail-like appendages, and no, or virtually nonexistent legs.

I definitely want to see more though.

Eternum Aatrox could work. Eternum Bard would be weird, but could be cool. Not sure about that one. Elise and Skarner could also be interesting. I think that the Eternum skin line works best on champs that are in some way sinuous or slithery, and definitely nonhuman in some way.

I agree, and would love to see Eternum Skarner and would be awesome to see an Eternum Shyvana, Fiddlesticks, Vel'koz, Cho'gath and Shyvana. But, because it does seem to go with spectral or ancient creatures Vel'koz, Cho'gath and Shyvana seem like the best choices. Either way riot needs to finish the eternum skins, mecha, and battlecast skins as they just did with PROJECT.

Yeah I'd agree there. Aatrox would function properly, Skarner would, maybe Elise, but I think Kha'zix could be a viable candidate for it, but would be difficult.

Cassiopeia would probably work well.

I was thinking more of the line of Kassadin. Human/Void. Hasn't received a skin in ages. And I can see him being a powerful force for the Eternum theme. But it would be like a Legendary skin. I can also see Fiddle as well. Come on "The Harbinger of Doom"? His title alone fits the skin. I was thinking Brand. He has a quote that says he is the fire that cleanses the world, it fits Eternum Noc's skin.

I think Fiddlesticks is a little too goofy and entrenched in the 'scarecrow' model for a skin based around sharp, organic metal surfaces and exposed muscle. The issue that I see with Kassadin is that the whole point of the Eternum skin line is the harsh metal surfaces shaped in organic ways, and Kassie doesn't really have any surfaces that can be shaped in that way.

I believe its been said in a QnA for Rek'Sai that the eternum skin line is indeed similar to Mecha and Battlecast in its technological viewpoint, but that Eternum is a literal fusion of flesh and metal (and i don't mean enhancing a body with augmentations like in PROJECT: skins, but litteraly infusing metal into skin to make it stronger). But i can definitely see it as being something more sinister of nature. It does indeed seem like the Eternum is involved with creation or atleast watches other lifeforms with disgust, as evidenced by Nocturne: Nocturne : Their existence is a mistake.Nocturne : Beings of this plane are no threat. Rah!

One thing I like about Eternum nocturne is how it correlates with his backstory. Nocturne himself is speculated to be a materialization of human fear and nightmares, So maybe Eternum has some form of relation to fear or to dreams? You gotta admit, Rek'Sai is pretty scary too.
