I would hate being left in the dark about the chain of events in the Omega Squad skin line that led to their death. Who were they fighting? Why were they fighting? Where did the fight take place? How did they die, exactly?
We prefer to leave the details of skins themes up to player's interpretations. For example the Academy comics are fan-written. I didn't even know about them until they were published. We really love the various ways fans interpret themes like Star Guardian and wouldn't want to be too heavy handed. For example I love the animation that shows Arcade Sona taking FB Veigar's ult and transforming into DJ Sona, or that great piece of Dark Star Varus accusing SG Janna of leaving him behind.
Thermal Kitten is indeed a writer who has joined skins, but skin's Thematic Dev are more focused on world building and thematic consistency than writing player-facing stories. Our hope is that skin themes will be more like Omega Squad and Pulsefire, where there is a story to be uncovered but the details are still up to you.
Here's a head scratcher; before school SG Jinx likes to watch Super Galaxy Force, but SG Rumble's favourite tv show is Star Guardians.
Honestly I'd rather have them focus on the main lore.
The narrative behind skin lines is being worked on, more so nowadays since one of narratives own joined the skins team to help figure that stuff out.
Well, we kind of have lore or at least story for the Academy skins. But it would be awesome to see more of the world behind the Project skins.
I guess my dream is to see one big, complex integrated diagram showing all the skins somehow related to each other, with each Champion having multiple roles within this big, united mega-verse. Like Arcade takes place in a video game played by someone in Academy, which is a school in the same world as Pool Party, a world protected by the Star Guardians, who occasionally need to work with the Project soldiers and Omega Squad to combat etc. etc. etc.
I'd certainly love it if the Academy comics team were to do some Star Guardian comics. Or should we commission a manga artist for that?
