&from the dark and give us hope;
because i'm a horrible mixture of lazy and tired, i'll be updating this at random intervals. expect this to be a horribly disjointed assessment of heat's character, canon, motivations, and opinions of other characters.
enjoy!
oh, right, and be forewarned--i have a pretty foul mouth. i shouldn't even have to mention spoilers, because they are abound.
cold concrete and grey as far as the eye can see--that sums of the junkyard pretty well, honestly.
here are a few images, courtesy of http://www.digitaldevildb.com/nirvana, which i'm pretty sure is supposed to be down right now:
muladhara; this area is the territory of the embryon tribe, symbolized by orange markings, and under the leadership of Serph. this here's heat's happy home. here, have an earlier draft of an archaic, ruinous muladhara. i, for one, am pretty pleased that the developers decided to go with a more modern approach.
behold, sarashara! home of the karma temple! you know, that place nobody likes. the karma temple houses the 'controllers' of the junkyard. heat's only been inside once--the very end of the game. don't bother asking him about the landscape. the girl you love sitting pretty at the top of a particularly demon-infested tower tends to do a number on your memory.
other areas in the junkyard include svadhistana, which is really fuckin' hard to spell, which happens to be property of harley's tribe, the vanguards. their tribe color is green, and harley just so happens to be my favorite tribe leader. ♥♥♥ seriously. look! he's so damn cute!
next up comes manipura, maribel territory. the maribels, called the merrybells in japan, are headed by jinana. bat, a dirty-ass traitor who looks too gay for words, is her right-hand fag. their tribe color is red.
and how can we forget anahata? it's an enormous fucking fortress. i hate that level more than i hate hippies, and i really do not like hippies. anahata belongs to the solids tribe, headed by mick the aptly named slug. he's not a slug, persay, but he is a big black dude that acts like a total worm. tribe color yellow--almost as obnoxious as he is.
varin omega heads the brutes tribe in ajna. he refers to himself as colonel beck, a reference to his past life in which he was colonel terrence beck. i'm pretty sure 'colonel beck' is the funniest name in the world. in fact, while playing DDS, i would often randomly call the friend what gave me the game to remind him,
"colonel beck". tribe color blue.
lupa, the honorable loser, heads the wolves tribe in vishuddha. their tribe color is white. it's interesting to note that lupa once headed the lokapala faction in the real world, and experimented with the demon virus to be killed by his best friend, for the good of the faction. he holds no grudges, and leaves his son, fred, in the hands of his murderer. his real name was greg. lupa is actually the one that awakens gale's emotions, going berserk and requesting that the embryon tribe take his life for the good of everyone. he's a pretty cool dude, but still a loser.
other places worth noting include coordinates something-or-other, at which there is a well-traveled amusement park, culminated in the center by a large castle. said castle tells the story of the good and evil princes, which can be read in my profile, because i'm too damn lazy to copypasta. needless to say, this parallels the events surrounding real!heat, real!serph, and sera. this is where mick the slug takes sera when he kidnaps her, and where heat pretends to betray the embryon to get her back.
ground zero is where sera was first found--it's essentially a battleground somewhere between muladhara and svadisthana.
an interesting tidbit--it's always raining in the junkyard. always. however, the asuras within it never make note of the rain, or lack thereof in the real world. nothing ever gets wet, either. perhaps it's a parallel to the fact that sera could probably see rain from her chambers, but never felt it?
enjoy!
