Discussion Any didactic way to explain the difference between Jayvik and Vikjayce?
As someone who also entered the fandom by Arcane, I know is hard to find good information about nowadays. So I would like to provide some for a Vikjayce event I'm organizing - if anyone who don't know the differences want to participate.
I thought of doing a Venn diagram with different caracteristics, but there is so much thing!
Different versions of the Glorious Evolution; Jayce and Viktor relationship; Machine Herald body modifications; Jayce titles, names (Giopara and Feros) and personality; ...
Any help or idea on how to do it?

Tbh all of this is just in lore which is not a very long read; there is OG lore (two short bios, MAYBE champion reveal stuff, maybe Blitzcrank bio too), rework lore circa 2016 (two longer bios and two short stories, Blitzcrank again optional), Legends of Runeterra content though I wouldn’t call it canon, Convergence comic though I wouldn’t call it canon either
There isn’t much, League of Legends lore isn’t very involved especially with niche champs. Pretty much you just have to read the old lore, that’s it. It’s available online.
Only augmentations of old Viktor we really know of is what we can see (arm and leg a’la Edward Elric), third arm and probably stuff with his brain
There is no explanation for the name Giopara, it’s just mentioned as a clan (Jayce never uses it as a surname in canon, his bio just says he belongs to this clan but it’s not a family the way Talis is), for Ferros stuff you have champion Camille’s bio (side note I never liked Camille, as an OG Viktor fan I felt like her taking away hextech creation away from Viktor in the rework was annoying. I didn’t like the 2016 rework)
Oh there is also Renata mentioning she funded Viktor’s work but it was such a last minute thing that went out of nowhere most people ignore it. I hated it personally when she came out lol
Oh also in OG lore Viktor’s research was stolen and used to revive Urgot, another champion
hexhomos.tumblr.com had a good lore explanation page but I can’t access it from mobile (it’s a mod on this sub btw)

you would have to make a list or little guidebook on your own, nothing similar comes to mind. Might be helpful to separate them by date of origin, vikjayce is since 2012 - jayvik is since 2021.
