Origin takes place within the dreams of a comatose gemcutter. Shortly after losing his business he was involved in an accident and lost consciousness. All the areas of the cave represent different aspects of his life, from the crumbling city where he can never more afford to live in to the beautiful exotic locations he traveled to when his business was doing well. The residents of the caves and their entrapment are simply fragments of all the thoughts he has had throughout his difficult life, each holding a gem since that was his own lifeblood.

The recent heating of the cave and lights going dim is the result of a strain of the flu reaching him and his dreams reflecting his body going through a fever state and generally not doing well. He may eventually wake up and go back to his shattered life and try to make something of himself, or he may eventually slip away in the night taking the caves with him.

I'm going to re-post shaf's astrology post, it was a good one. Do you guys have any more ideas for this??

I'm just reposting shaf's as it was. I haven't edited it to update it.
It's still 100% member theory and whatever YOU guys think is correct.

NEMEAN: NOW REVEALED! (WAIT WAIT WAIT, NEMEAN'S A GIRL? NO WORRIES, WIKIPEDIA STILL BACKIN UP MY THEORY:

According to one version of the myth, the Nemean lion took women as hostages to its lair in a cave near Nemea, luring warriors from nearby towns to save the damsel in distress. After entering the cave, the warrior would see the woman (usually feigning injury) and rush to her side. Once he was close, the woman would turn into a lion and kill the warrior, devouring his remains and giving the bones to Hades.
(THEATRICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SEEMS LEGIT TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(scary side facts)
The Nemean lion was a vicious monster in Greek mythology that lived at Nemea. It was eventually killed by Hercules. It could not be killed with mortals' weapons because its golden fur was impervious to attack. Its claws were sharper than mortals' swords and could cut through any armour. ... what a babe. still super dangerous, don't let her pretty looks fool you! she's full of illusions and super precious, goddamn

♍ Virgo Mercury Mercury

Astaea/Deer Dad ( Fleeing from the new wickedness of humanity, ascended to heaven to become the constellation Virgo. Deer Dad apparently is the virgin goddess of innocence and purity and is associated with the goddess of justice-- or at least that's where he gets his name. Deer Dad for lonely virgin confirm!)

♎ Libra Venus Venus

?????????

♏ Scorpio Mars Pluto

?????????

♐ Sagittarius Jupiter Jupiter

Jupiter/Centaur (Jupiter [...] rules both Sagittarius and Pisces. Sagittarius, half human and half-horse, is the centaur of mythology, the learned healer who forms a bridge between human beings and beasts. Also known as the Archer, Sagittarius is represented by the symbol of an arrow. Pretty obvious here. The name reveal only solidifies it.)

IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE: JUPITER + BEAST AND MAYBE OTHERS MADE THE GOLEMS. THEY WERE PROBABLY USING THEM TO HARVEST GEMS FOR WEAPONS (SEE HER ARROWS??? WOW) FOR THAT CRAZY? WAR? WE THINK THEY HAD

part of me wants jupiter to be batcat's momma or something but it's more likely that they made the golems so yeah

♑ Capricorn Saturn Saturn

?????????

♒ Aquarius Saturn Uranus

Aquarian/Noodle Dad! (This one should be obvious. Come on. I'm not even going to link anything here.)

♓ Pisces Jupiter Neptune

TENZIN: NOW NAMED! (Raheerah literally called Tenzin "Your Pisces" before so this is a fairly solid bet. Interesting tidbit from wikipedia about Pisces in mythology:
According to one Greek myth, Pisces represents the fish into which Aphrodite (also considered Venus)[22] and her son Eros (also considered Cupid)[22] transformed in order to escape the monster Typhon.[2][23][20] Typhon, the "father of all monsters" had been sent by Gaia to attack the gods, which led Pan to warn the others before himself changing into a goat-fish and jumping into the Euphrates.[8] A similar myth, one which the fish "Pisces" carry Aphrodite and her son out of danger, is resounded in Manilius' five volume poetic work Astronomica: "Venus ow'd her safety to their Shape."[22] Another myth is that an egg fell into the Euphrates river.

side note: Typhon just reminds me a lot of Raheerah, but doesn't really fit in with the themeo, so I'm still stuck in this tbh. i mean Raheerah could just be Ares but that seems way too lazy)

WHERE DOES BEAST GO??? WE JUST DON'T KNOW. That being said, there's some pretty strong hints that he's Gemini, along with his "friend".

Raptor Mom was made by Banshee so I'm just going to assume Raptor mom isn't in the Zodiac. If she was, I'd be pretty impressed with how well put together Madi and crew are at BSing stuff. ;)

Svarog was named by MEMBERS and therefore probably is not involved in the zodiac stuff. If he IS, then we'll have to find out more about him before determining where he belongs. He'll probably be one of the colder zodiacs at least, which might narrow it down. With the addition of Moth NPC (Rest in Pieces, 2015), I think it's fairly safe to say that Svarog is not part of the zodiac thing and is just a Spire monster. 8)

Raheerah and Dawa are still up in the air, though I'm considering some sort of gemini nonsense with them. Otherwise, Dawa could fall under Cancer (ironically) as her name relates to moon stuff, but I also see her falling under Libra or Aries-- hard to say where Raheerah falls if they aren't like, twin or whatever. Magical space twins. Would like some help digging into their stuff for more information.

As an aside: Might be important later. Unsure if it's just the 12 signs or if Ophy here will be included.
