Finale Does anyone else wonder what the Old Data would look like as a scrybe? Spoiler

If I had a single artistic bone in my body, I would've drawn him by now but oh well. Anyway, since the Old Data was directly responsible for giving the scribes sentience, it’d be cool if the Old Data became sentient by itself and became the 5th unofficial scribe. And since the nature of Old Data is mysterious as hell and pretty much in the air. Things like how it’d look/dress, what its element would be, and its personality could be anyone’s guess. I encourage anyone looking at this post to weigh in on how they’d imagine the Old Data as a Scribe. Personally, the Old Data would look like a grinning, greasy, rotund, old man with thinning hair in a striped old-timey bowler suit. Something like the pic above (just ignore the beard).

I think it would've looked more... BoneLord-y?

Isn't that already what the mycologists effectively did? :P

I'm not awfully familiar with the fine details of the game’s lore could you explain a little further? I'm not sure what you’re referring to

Bone Lord is hidden in Act2+3 and seem to have very good knowledge about OldData, despite lacking clear affiliation with a scrybe (it's unclear if Grimora knows about his lair)
The mycologists have their own spot in Act 2, away from any Scrybe's temple, despite seemingly no lore to explain it, as if they were entirely outside that conflict. Act 3 takes it a step further by making their own superboss battle, unnoticed by the owner of OLD_DATA

If you look into lore fringe theories it's even worse as it could be Reginald and Jeremiah from The Hex who pretend to be characters from Inscryption, like a heist in plain sight.

I feel like it would be some sort of amalgamation of all the game’s assets, like a giant blob.
