My apologies then.

Characters, Plot, and Themes / Is there possibly a relation between Starky and Nu?
« on: August 11, 2006, 02:12:32 pm »
Is it possible that Starky's race is a further-evolved Nu race?
The thought entered my head when I was browsing the site and came across Starky's Official Art, which I went ahead and put here.
While I was looking at him, his face and body shape seemed familiar. I thought I had seen him elsewhere. Then I thought about Nu. Nu's eyes/mouth/nose are proportionally in the same places as Starky's. Also, Starky's arms are quite long for his overall height. So are Nu's.
In the Chrono Compendium's page on Starky's purpose for being on the planet, the text for an ending involving Starky and another member of his race involves the pair saying, "Noona-Noona...!!! Nani-Nani...!!!" If I remember correctly, one of the Nu's in Zeal made a "Nu! Nu!" sound. Also, the Compendium's Starky page has a quote from Starky (not sure where from in the game) that has him saying,
Starky:
Woowzer!
Out of this world...!
The liight of the big baang!
All starts from heere and
all ends heere...
What liies beeyond that...?
The "all starts from heere and all ends heere" line strongly echoes the book in Zeal that states, "All life begins with Nu and ends with Nu... This is my belief... at least for now!" Also, Starky's little blue thing on his suit resembles a pendant to me, though this may be because of the shadow of his helmet. And we all know how big a part pendants played in Zeal and the Chrono games in general.
I'm not saying that Starky is a Nu, or that the Nu's necessarily evolved into Starky's race. But it makes sense to me that if Nu's were already very highly advanced/evolved creatures in 12,000 BC (and they even existed in 65,000,000 BC, but I am unsure as to how advanced of a species they were at that time), then they would be probably be quite capable of space travel shortly afterward. I know the popular opinion is that Nu's evolved into Beach Bums, but perhaps some left in a ship, sometime between 12,000 BC and AD 1020 (maybe in 7600 BC? Using technology and/or knowledge from Chronopolis?), and the space travel/being on a different planet changed the direction of their evolution.
I realize that this is a lot lot lot of speculation. And it may well turn out that it has no merit whatsoever. Just thought I'd share. Feel free to shoot me down or provide some discussion.
