It seems Jun is very scared oof what is inside Ovan's arm, and it was there since the beginning, which is leaning towards a very large piece of Morganna. Aura was not there from the beginning, many failed versions of her, but not her.

Well, yea she was. She was just asleep and stuff.

She was? Hehe, must have read something wrong or something...

Yes, Aura seems to have been placed into The World at the same time as the Harald AI's and Morganna. (So basically since Fragment) but Aura was in a sort of sleep mode until Tsukasa woke her up.

Ah... right, how could I forget such basic info.

Aura was NOT present in The World from the beginning. The entire system was created to spawn AIs in a trial-and-error process that culminated, after a few years, in the creation of Aura.

Meh. Close enough to the beginning. Point is some bit of her was there at the beginning. At the very least a location for the data to funnel into, which probably contained things like graphics and her name and other things to identify where to funnel it, existed.

I doubt she had her name or appearance, they were both probably shaped by the data she obtained, like with every other Vagrant AI...

I think she was always named Aura. But everything else about her seems to have come from the users of The World.

Harald refers to her as Aura, thats what he wanted the child to be named (thats why Lycoris says she cannot become the Aura)

thats the only data that existed at startup tho, everything else was gathered over time from The World

I think this statment might be wrong... Jun says in the Terminal Disc that "she had the wisdom of Harald Hoerwick and the good looks of Emma Wielant". So that implies a set look, wouldn't it?

Not to mention that Aura looked like what she did in Sign despite having received any data yet minus Tsukasa's.

What? either i miss read somthing or i'm crazy, but Aura doesnt look like she did from //SIGN. she looks older and more mature(-ish) Which is weird that a game could nurture an A.I. to allow it to grow up.

You totally misinterpreted. I meant that because she looked like what she looked like in Sign, meant that her appearance, atleast her little tiny girl mode, must've been preset.

oh, my bad, but yeah..if so, i'm sure Harold didnt intend for Aura to be a child forever, but to grow up along with the world..at least that would make some sorta sense

Which was my point.

ahhhh..my bad.

Either way, whatever is inside Ovan's arm can't be a good thing IMO. It looks too ominous for that. As well, I still believe that the arm is related to TriEdge.

it prolly is, well we know (well strongly belive) that Ovan as a whole is related to T-E, im not to sure about his arm however, but it will effect the outcome of .hack in 1 way or another

Actually, considering the latest episode, Ovan may be no more connected to Tri-Edge than Haseo...

It appears that he has a connection to the AIDA.
