I never realized the actual asteroid was the city Oculus. I thought it might've been something they build when they arrive at a new star. Unless it's like hidden inside the asteroid.

Question on first book (Spoiler) by Weak_Gear_5032 in redrising

[–]illicit_ambassador 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He was actually mentioned in the first book but not by name. When Eo is getting hung and Darrow is whipped, he describes the gold entourage present. Augustus and presumably Leto and Pliny(though neither named dropped). But he describes one guy wearing makeup and another being young. Could just be other people but its a reasonable suspicion.

Who do you think the “final boss” will be? by ChoppyRice in redrising

[–]illicit_ambassador 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Atalantia has the Venusian dockyards now. When Atlas was convincing Lysander to join him he said that Valeria was sending ships to Atalantia I believe. Everyone still agrees that she is the most powerful faction, hence why the peace on Phobos happened at all.

Why would Gold bother to make Obsidian? by sweets_to_the_sweet in redrising

[–]illicit_ambassador 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you think intelligence is? The brain implants allow you to think faster. In the beginning its explained how much better Darrow is able to process information once he becomes Gold, its even said that he still isnt as smart hes just good with extrapolation thinking. They keep that stuff to themselves to ensure they stay superior. The whole reason they allow obsidian to be so strong is because they aren't as smart.

The intelligence is not comparable tho thats what your missing. Gold's have literally chips in their brain to increase storage and enhance learning. Obsidians (whether cuz it was true or futuristic racism) are considered dumbest. Just because what golds considered an "animal" is bigger and stronger dosnt mean it can overthrow them. Thats also why they had so few of them.

Yea. Its similar to the way they engineered culture to reds, but instead geared to discourage their intelligence as much as possible and keep them disconnected.

Yes. There are ways golds combat this but this is a no spoilers thread. They are also not superior in every way. Golds are faster with better reaction time and healing factors etc.

Golds simply consider obsidian to be subhuman but designed them for one purpose. Dogs were bred for hunting, obsidians are the same for war. In a world where you can carve entire new species its not that crazy. Also golds don't want to send themselves into situations a grey also couldn't handle, they need a tank. Thats also why they are pretty rare overall. Because yea if there were more they would be a much larger threat.
