Rek'sai's lore - Change to Void Champions' lore?

Gholem·12/16/2014, 6:00:53 AM·4 votes·2,696 views

Even though I don't hate the idea that Rek'sai is the queen of the species Xer'sai, I have some problem with it.

This means that it applies to all void creatures, who have ' to their name...

I personally think this shouldn't be applied to all champions.

This means that there are: multiple Cho'gaths, Kha'zix, Vel'koz, and Kog'maw.

Now, here is where the problem lies.

  1. Cho'gath is the Terror of the Void. He is feared even by summoners and league is keeping a close eye on him; however, when he is "weary" of the league, it is said that he is able to bring chaos. If there are multiple beings like Cho, why is Runeterra still here? If the name indicates the species, then it also means that there are multiple beings just like him identified in Runeterra who are: able to feed off pretty much anything and grow in size, and cause terror throughout the league just by being there.

  2. Kog'maw is a baby. It has been indicated that it is a baby. If he is a part of the species rather than a individual mutative creature, it means there are multiple adults. This thing is even feared by Tryndamere: he said, "If that's just hungry, I don't want to see it angry." While it is possible that he have so-called "daddy," there shouldn't be multiple adults (not mentioning the whole species) who can pretty much tip over the Runeterra.

  3. Kha'zix was a tiny creature who ate and ate and evolved and evolved to become what he is now. Adding another species just like him would just ruin his whole evolving concept and his rivalry with Rengar.

  4. Vel'koz is unique because he searches for knowledge, something most Void creatures don't seem to find interest in. If there is entire species of creatures which seek after knowledge, what make him unique really?

  5. I'm fine with Rek'sai, mainly because she was shifted to Shurima and lived for a while there; this means it gave her enough time to reproduce: I personally think Xer'sai is the production of Rek'sai herself rather than her belonging to the species: she is the Queen, the broodmother of all Xer'sai in Shurima is what I think, and that is why I'm fine with her being part of "species." I really don't think this should be applied to any other champions.

Overall, don't apply this species thing to other void champions. I think they're already unique the way they are, and don't think this ' species thing would work out for them.

Especially, if you touch my Cho'gath's lore, I KILL KITTENS AND PUPPIES AND UNLEASH TEEMO ON YOU.

There are multiple humans and Yorldes and that doesn't seem to be a problem. Other members of each character's species probably don't look or behave exactly the same, although there will certainly be similarities in some general aspects.

Overall it is nothing new that not every void creature is unique,I mean just look at malzahars voidlings.

I think that all of the current Void creatures are pretty high on the void-food-chain,meaning that just like rek'sai is the biggest and baddest of the Xer'sai,all the other void champs are the biggest and strongest of their species(except for kog'maw whose daddy is most likely even stronger than all of the others). So while there might be other void creatures like Kha'Zix,they wouldn't be as strong as him and thus only "another monster" for Rengar.

In fact there is the concept of voidborn that gets mentioned in Cho'gaths lore,which says that the voidborn are the void creatures who command massive armies.Many people think that Rek'sai herself might not be a voidborn,but just a really powerful voidmonster,so there might be a basic difference with voidborn being unique from each other,while void monsters are just like real life monsters.

I like to think as this when it comes to their being other Vel'kozs, Kha'Zixs,etc. it comes down rather to a certain trait. For example, like you said Vel'koz's species is all about searching for knowledge but each one has a unique of doing it. Take Kog'Maw for example, since he eats everything you would assume that he would be melee champion but he is not because he chose to melt his target into a delicious vomit soup. For Kha'Zix though i get this kind of rouge feeling from him, I mean he kinda forgot the Void's goal but then comes the question, was he ever there for the Void? Read his lore his whole reasoning to coming into this world is for his own personal goal, he was frail in the void and so to avoid getting eaten by his bigger brethren he escaped into this world where he could feast on anything he liked. Ah, it seems I got side tracked yet again, well I hope if the Void born are part of a species they make sure the ones we know are extremely unique than the rest and if they aren't part of a species that's fine too.

Just a few thoughts: -What if some of the void creatures are sort of like Kiwis? Kiwis do not grow much after they are born, and Kog'maw may not get much bigger as an adult. -Kha'Zix sounds alright because the bigger something gets the easier it is to become a target. He may have got lucky one his small-moderate sizings and was fortune enough to grow to such a size he could sustain himself. So in a sense he is still unique in that he was able to survive unlike others of his species, but he still is part of a species that performs as such.

Rek and the other critters like her aren't Voidborn like Koggy, Kha, Vel, and Cho are. Voidborn are unique and intelligent creatures, the most awful things the Void has to offer.

Rek and the 'Xer'sai' are just another flavor of Voidlings like Malz' summons or the beetle-summoning portal. Rek'Sai just happens to be one of the biggest ones around.

It really depends on the species. More 'Zix would work well as Kha'Zix has a very locust-like vibe about him. Kog'Maw's a child who has family, there MUst be more 'Maw Voidbeings.

Cho'Gath though, has always been something else. He KNOWS things. He seems much more 'god-like' than the others. The fact that he's "seen to" what happens to your soul, as well as other quotes that signify his intelligence, make him different. For there to be many more just like him, that'd be quite upsetting.

The same could be said for Vel'Koz, but him being the wisest of the 'Koz wouldn't be too distracting from his lore.

There are multiple Voidbeings, there are multiple humans. But you don't want multiple humans who can turn into cats or spray poison gas everywhere, right?

...I don't think that's true. Just because there are many Xer'sai does not necessarily mean there are many of other void creatures' species.

If i remember correctly, Velkoz arrived in company of more void creatures like him. But the rest of his race is not interested in knowledge

I actually like it because we could get a new 'Gath or 'Maw someday
