Do you have a source for this?Nephele is specifically a cloud though. Not a personified spirit (in the sense of being like a woman tied to a cloud) but a cloud made in Hera's image.

Ironically he's referencing Greek myths, not GoW, despite all the complaints above. Nephele is only mentioned in that single sentence and makes no other appearances that I can tell, so her origin or the fact that she looked like Hera is all coming from Greek mythsDo you have a source for this?
...the things I quoted, what else?. Greek myth thing and the biological manipulation not being needed. As my experience, I've noticed characters can outright effect people's biology with fate hax. It's it the case here, don't know for certain but it's possible. And to me it seems that it is referring to twins at a point to me. Not much else to say other than I interpret it differently than you.On what point, that fate manipulation could not lead two people to having twins without needing a special biological manip power? Or that the phrase "birth twins" and then separating them onto different spools is probably talking about threads and not human children?
Lahkesis laughed. "Must we always deliver such fearsome fates to those mortals and gods? Why can't we have fun breeding improbable lovers and then playing with their offspring? Remember the amusement Ixion and his cloud lover Nephele brought us? Zeus binding him to an eternally spinning fiery sky wheel provides meThis scan
Are you sure? It seems she was a cloud turned nymphNephele is specifically a cloud though. Not a personified spirit (in the sense of being like a woman tied to a cloud) but a cloud made in Hera's image.
How do you know he's referring to myth?Ironically he's referencing Greek myths, not GoW, despite all the complaints above.

Greek myth in general? Apollodorus if we wanna be super specific.Do you have a source for this?
Nah, I was. I was making a point about using myth or not.How do you know he's referring to myth?

You commented before he said that....See below:
Nephele isn't mentioned anywhere else besides that single sentence, so him saying she looked like Hera has to come from myth, not the book or games.You commented before he said that....
Media literacy is literally a superpower.Deagnox has precog confirmed
This is pretty much the best approach. We still don't have any evidence that the Fates can dictate which pairings can or cannot produce off-spring and the phrase "improbable lovers" does not imply anything about that, so this is moot.The scan doesn't even mention the offspring that came from this one. Two other things it says breeding improbable lovers not impossible lovers and we know gods and mortals can breed it's not unreasonable for other types of pairing to be unlikely but possible.
I don't know all the information from the games. So to a normal person, he potential could have been referring to the games.Nephele isn't mentioned anywhere else besides that single sentence, so him saying she looked like Hera has to come from myth, not the book or games.
Right, but you're asking me how I knew that. That's how.I don't know all the information from the games. So to a normal person, he potential could have been referring to the games.
I fate manipulated some dogs into a kennel and got a litter of puppies... ergo I have biomanip clearly.fate manipulation
Exactly so.Media literacy is literally a superpower.
You're exactly right. It's strange to imagine up new powers for the Greek Fates for accomplishing things that the powers they are famous for can accomplish by themselves.Fate manipulation can cover so many different abilities with what one can do with it, it is positively an insane power. For characters like The Sisters unless they are explicitly stated to be messing with the biology of something I feel it is keen to assume they used their already established Fate manipulation to set up the situation for something like that to occur rather than some new form of bio manip.
Okay, so all your complaints about "we can't just assume things work like Greek myth" would also apply to this statement, correct? If not, then Deagon's prior argument stands. Pick a side. You cannot insinuate that something is only okay when you do it, and not when anyone else does it, so please tell me if you believe Greek myths are a valid source or not.Nah, I was. I was making a point about using myth or not.
It can be both. If proven...Okay, so all your complaints about "we can't just assume things work like Greek myth" would also apply to this statement, correct?

.....I feel like you're misunderstanding something severely here. I'm correcting the assumption that because it's Greek myth then it's more biologically probable. I'm happy to stick fully to the novel, where the word "nymph" is never said, if that's all the same to you.Okay, so all your complaints about "we can't just assume things work like Greek myth" would also apply to this statement, correct?

Sure. Then there's no evidence of elemental intangibility lol (the term "cloud lover" is not evidence of a character literally being a cloud).....I feel like you're misunderstanding something severely here.

I'm happy to stick fully to the novel, where the word "nymph" is never said, if that's all the same to you.
What does this even mean? If a source is valid, then it's valid for all parties to use. You can't just say "I get to use scans from this novel but nobody else can", that's just absurd.It can be both. If proven...
That doesn't really make sense. The only way it could be "proven" is if the games directly say it, which is just Option 1) Use source material only. The question is whether non-game information about the myths can be used to fill in the gaps where the source material doesn't specify.It can be both. If proven...
"Biologically probable" doesn't mean anything. You're attempting to draw a connection to the phrase "improbable lovers" but there's no basis for believing that phrase refers to whether two beings can have offspring or not. Probability is not how one would speak about whether two species can breed.I'm correcting the assumption that because it's Greek myth then it's more biologically probable. I'm happy to stick fully to the novel, where the word "nymph" is never said, if that's all the same to you.

I ment that you can ignore stuff when it's shown not to be one for one and have no evidence of it being the same, but you can take if you have evidence of being the same... Thus you can both use and not use a comparison of the myth and God of War in a scenario. What are y'all talking about.That doesn't really make sense. The only way it could be "proven" is if the games directly say it, which is just Option 1) Use source material only. The question is whether non-game information about the myths can be used to fill in the gaps where the source material doesn't specify.
The fact it did not read like what you just said at all. I was confused too and was about to ask for some clarity, thank you for providing that.What are y'all talking about.
Then I apologize for not being clear, thought I was tho. My bad.The fact it did not read like what you just said at all. I was confused too and was about to ask for some clarity, thank you for providing that.
I don't have enough information on God of War to provide any proper counterpoints regarding the arguments, though I think the twin thing has some merit, I'm inclined to agree with the removal for now. I'm pretty tired to so I'd say that's my final stance. Probably will look into it more on my spare time but I've got other things I need to take care of.@LordGriffin1000 So, what vote have you decided to cast?
About the cloud thing, that's in reference to an actual myth story. It's not a literal cloud, but a nymph.We added more scans on the Bio Manip before this, namely the twins and the breeding between humans and clouds and animals.
Don't worry about it LOL.About the cloud thing, that's in reference to an actual myth story. It's not a literal cloud, but a nymph.
Edit: Lol, didn't saw it was already brought up.
I think this puts it most aptly. I would agree with the removal, having read through the scans and the positions of the two interpretations- I feel all of their supposed feats of Bio Manip are covered by Fate Manip entirely.I fate manipulated some dogs into a kennel and got a litter of puppies... ergo I have biomanip clearly.
Fate manipulation can cover so many different abilities with what one can do with it, it is positively an insane power.

Exactly so.
