:u

Kavozayo Wrote:They better confirm Lotus' gender so people would stop being so confused...

EDIT: He/she does look kinda young, but not THAT young.
Unless of course, he/she just didn't go through puberty

Baklava Wrote:But that's the point...
Maple Story, if you're not confused, we're not doing it right.

Su's been in a cryogenic state for like 300 years. That might repress puberty, I ono!

Kavozayo Wrote:You know what.
Let's just call Lotus an "it" and call it a day.
It's too hot for me to think .
But Orca looks pretty young too... how do you explain that?

Actually I'm pretty sure it's a guy. A few weeks ago they released new hairs, one of them being Suu's hair, and what do you know, it's for males

There's also Orca and Aria's hair for females :o

Aliens

Endgame Wrote:They didn't change Orca's name to Orchid for GMS, they actually use both names for her.

In the Mercedes quest where you fight her, Mercedes addresses her as "Orchid", then she responds by saying she goes by "Orca" now.

The person sleeping in that room in Edelstein, with long hair is no one other than Lotus (he says that he's been there since the Heroes have been defeated, and that his frail look isn't his true form; since it's been centuries, his hair just did grow up.) Phantom also mentions that him and Orchid were inseparable, he's nothing more than a spirit without a body; so we can guess that Orchid was the body part of their real form.

Phantom also speaks about him being "a man" in the past on the level 74 quest. We could relate that to what happens to the Empress, according to Phantom. That a child body is just a sign that they can't have their full power yet, not having anything to do with their age. That also explains why Orchid is only lv 70 while all the other commanders are at least 120; both of them are completely weak until they're together, and for that, he needs to get back to his body and join his sister.

He doesn't look like a man because that's not his true form, he apparently seems to need his twin to achieve that; he has that extremely female voice because he's just a kid now. Still, this is just goddamn weird.
