Just a thought. Also, whether or not this is true, I have read some people say Kelmomas IS the new No-God. I personally don't want to believe it. I don't want to believe that the No-God is Kelmomas, because I would hate for the all-consuming whirlwind to be about to kill our heroes when suddenly it sees Esmenet and decides it wants a cuddle or some stupid shit. I want to think that the consciousness we call 'Kelmomas' was completely subsumed by the Sarchophagus, which contains ultimate power, but needed a template for rational thought.
I've likewise dismissed the Kelmomas IS the No-God speculation. I don't think the No-God attributes change depending on which neurology completes the circuit.
Plausible. However, he is "in there" somewhere? I guess we can ask, as NG 1.0, who is asking "WHAT DO YOU SEE?" Is it the apparatus itself? I think probably would be Nau-Cayuti.
Just as circuitry in, say, a car has no idea what it is doing, I doubt if the soul that completes the Sarcophagus' function is aware of what it is doing. Obviously, electrical circuits are
always unaware, but a soul, shorn of the body and so of it's identity and perceptual capacity, ends up in nearly the same place. The difference, of course, as the NG 1.0 demonstrates, is that the insertant retains (or gains, depending on how you want to approach it) the awareness of being unaware. Not only that, but seemingly also retains the feeling, or perhaps knowledge, that something isn't quite right about this state.
So, I don't think the No-God 2.0 will have the external character of Kel, in the same way that I don't think the No-God 1.0 had the character of Nau. However, somewhere in there, physically or metaphysically, their souls are (were) present. I don't know if this means the No-God could be metaphysically undone, but I guess it is possible (i.e. Mimara answering it's question).
