Bard - A darkin candidate?

SaltyToplaneGoat··1 votes·1,059 views

Ok, while this sounds stupid at first, let me explain it. Bard consists pretty much of two parts: the horn/musical intrument and his weird, beard-body filled with some light sort of thing. If you look at his "legs", wich are pretty weird, you could think of his body as some kind of golem, or a containment for his power so he can move around, bard himself being the horn - something that would actually make sense since bards are usually wandering storytellers & MUSICANS.

But wait, hos does that make him a Darkin candidate? First of all we know nothing about that race, so they might be as well come from the same corner of the universe as Bard comes from. Second: if we go by the theory that bard is the horn, an usually innanimate object filled with magic and sentinence controlling something that remotely resembles a human body?

Does sound awefully like Aatrox , "The darkin BLADE". I think it's obvious that the sword is alive, especially if you look at the emotes and the crit animation. Aatrox might pose the opposing force to bard, his legacy only being war and conflict (as stated by his lore) while Bard, well, he's the total opposite.

Another connection might be Jax but that dude remains mysterious as ever.

So, what do you guys think about this?

I dont think that an astral being of light is a "DARK"in.

Maybe he is related with Soraka

Yes, the relation to Soraka should be obvious - but we have to add that we know nothing about the darkin origins. The night sky doesn't only have stars, but also a lot of darkness...

We only konw that the Darkin are very few and immortal while also following some greater, complex agenda...

If he had ANY signs of darkness, maybe. Every thing about him signifies 'light', from his look to his spells. Kind of hard to picture a Darkin with that.

You're getting a bit too focused on the name. Aatrox never refers to himself even once as "Darkin". It might be a name that humans have given the entire race/group of otherworldy beings, not one that actually describes what they are.

This is entirely fair. On the other hand, I don't see why people would give the name 'Darkins' to a race of fluffy bunnies. Chances are, they would give it to a race that fits it, a race that is 'Kin to the dark'.

They could also be called that because their origins are "in the dark" ^^ Or maybe not all darkin look the same. There are those like Aatrox and then those like Bard - the first ones are probably more known...
