I have to ask this, it's been annoying me so much...WHY WOULD WORD NEED A PERSONA?!

From what we've seen, while he may be unliked by the other people in Dragon City, they've never had any evidence against him because he gets his manipulated muscle or dragons to do things. Why does he hide the fact he's Drakkus? Has he murdered someone as Drakkus? Is he runnig a drug ring in the city? He doesn't seem to need anything to hide behind.

I'm guessing because he doesn't want people to know about certain of his abilities? And I'm sure there's something wrong with traipsing around picking fights with costumed people. It's probably covered under vigilantilism laws, although though if they exist they're certainly not being enforced with Artha.

Or maybe he's just a drama queen. *shrug*

*bursts out laughing*
That was funny Sarah..... :P

Maybe? He wears heels and claws and robes, and pauses to laugh dramatically. And he has a big red button! :P

gotta love the big red button! :P
i don't get why he wears heels any way, cause he's tall enough as it is.

i'm not sure why word would deskize (sp) himeself as drakkus, but why would conner do the same thing, cause he was also deskized as mortis 30 years ago

but how and why did he mutate abandonn? that is a little freaky if you ask me.

drama queen, funny :P



---->

Mutated? What are you talking about? I don't think he mutated Abandonn, because Conner would of done the same thing, and he's not that kind of guy. No, i think T-Pax and Abandonn are natural that way. How? I dunno. But i feel sorry for the dragon that made THAT egg.....

I'll subscribe to the Word-is-a-Queen theory. Why did Zulay leave? Because her husband stole her boots...and still wears them...It's just as well. I'm sure he works those heels better than she could.

hahaha thats' funny

hahah that's funny .....I think it's because he dose'nt want mooredryd knowing that was a priest in traning and was kiked out...so he sot his own armor ...well thats' all I got ... he didn't want to let mooredryd know that he was kiked out /or faild at some thing ...... eh waer's heal's so he can look down at every boudy .

Word is definitely a drama queen. :D There's no doubt about that.

I'm guessing he disguises himself because he doesn't want others to know it's him when he has to do the hands-on dirty work. That way they don't know who to blame. His preference is to manipulate others to do the work for him which normally gives him a level of detachment. I'm also guessing he doesn't want people to know how powerful he can be. Moordryd certainly doesn't know, and Word clearly wants it that way. In other words, he doesn't want to tip his hand to anyone. Better not to let others know his strengths. It's clear that Word doesn't trust fully Moordryd (he probably recognizes a bit too much of himself in his son), and he wouldn't want anyone he doesn't fully trust to know his strengths and weaknesses.

I'm not sure if Abandonn's altered colors represents a mutation or not. Maybe Word just got out the spray paint to disguise his dragon and painted him the same way Parm painted the Penn Racing stars on their dragons. Or maybe it is a mutation of some kind and Word has something (gear or bonemark) that energizes Abandonn and his colors change as a result. Abandonn appeared to be much more powerful in "Return of Drakkus, part 2" than he was in "All Is Not Lost" so I don't know.

HUMMM

how do you know that Word doesn't trust Moodryd?

altough, to be honest I doubt that Word trust in any one

There are a couple of examples: In "Pride of the Hero" Word doesn't seem all that surprised that Moordryd won't relinquish Beau to him. He also points out Moordryd's incompetence in several episodes which doesn't speak very highly of his trust in his son. And in "Return of Drakkus, part 1" he comes out and says something to the effect "and it appears my son can no longer be trusted" when Moordryd cuts off his call.

And as you say, Word probably doesn't trust anyone.

Yah!!!!!!!!! I don't believe that word trusts anyone that guy is so creepy...... :wub:

Word is soooo weird....it seems that he's a drama queen, untrustworthy, and has a bit of a temper problem because you often see him yelling at someone with or without reason.

Was this an episode that already aired in Canada??? Cuz, how do you know Word is Drakkus???

The transcript for the episode was posted and...I'm pretty sure most of us already knew Word was Drakkus...What with the same voice actor, height, similar dragons, wraiths, training, and enemies and all. :unsure:

His dragon changing colour could not actually be a mutation. I'm sure his armour comes from some sort of amulet like Dragon Booster and Shadow Booster. Their dragons change colour without mutation, its just that amulet. I'm sure Word has some amulet and gauntlet that gives him that armour and changes Abandon as well.

I doubt it. Mortis certainly doesn't have an amulet and I have a feeling that there's only one per Draconium color.

If Word is Drakkus then wouldnt he already know about the Shadow Booster armer???

Well he's certainly no Miss Congeniality i can tell you that....

Given his reaction to anyone getting inside, he does, but that doesn't have much to do with anything.

Man I hope these new episodes will air in the U.S. soon cuz this is ticking me off.

Mortis calls Drakkus a warrior from 3,000 years ago, roughly the time of the 1st dragon human war. Word doesn't look that old. And when Mortis talks about Drakkus, he speaks about him more fearfully than he does Word. Maybe Drakkus was the original shadow booster. Hmmmmm...? :mellow:

When Mortis said that??

what if Armageddom is truly Drakkus?????

[QUOTE]When Mortis said that??

In The Return of Drakkus part 1.

Mortis compares Drakkus' power to that of an ancient warrior. When referring to Drakkus himself, he calls him "an old foe" and someone he raced with in the Elite class. We've seen from flashbacks that Word and Connor knew one another as kids.

Yah!! i kinda agree with Armeggadon i think that word was the original dragonbooster.

Yes but what drakkus/Word doen't know is that Connar is Mortis and Connar was know as Conner and Mortis was know as Mortis no one knows that Connar is Mortis.

Uhhhhh? I think that about 50% of my remaining brain cells just died. :faint:

but after reading it slower i get what your saying.

I dont think that there is any more that i can add on the Word Drakkus thing.

So we're basically brimming over with secret identities here aren't we. ;)

Drakkus' identity is unknown (except to Word, of course). The identity of the Shadow Booster is unknown (except to Moordryd and Armeggaddon). Mortis is only known to Artha and friends. Dragon Booster and Beau's identity as the Dragon of Legend is only known to Connor, Artha's friends (and their dragons) and Propheci. And Armeggaddon seems to be keeping his own background a secret since when he first revealed himself to Moordryd he said "call me Armeggaddon" almost as if that's just an alias he uses. So that's six individuals so far that will no doubt be unmasked to the others somewhere along the line.

These folks really like their masks, don't they. Seems like this group could have quite the masquerade party if they wanted to. :D

Since "Armeggaddon" is not the correct spelling of the term (and from the leaked transcript that is how they're spelling it), I assume it is a name rather than a reference to the gift he wants to bring to the world. Other than that, yes. :)

'Tis a little silly, though--most of the identities should be extremely obvious. I give Mortis/Connor a little bit of a break (but Word knows of Connor's connection to the Dragon Priests and should have noticed when the new dragon priest called Mortis appeared), but Word uses the same dragon as Drakkus, Artha's friends are known to hang out with the DB, and Moordryd and Decepshun look quite similar transformed.

Yeah, and the thing that hasn't really been explained yet is why were Connor and Word dressing up when they were young? Mortis says he raced against Drakkus when they were both in the Elite class circuit (this was mentioned in "Return of Drakkus, Part 2"), so they both know each other as their alter egos from way back then. Perhaps Word wanted to hide his identity since getting kicked out of the priesthood, but why would Connor have adopted the Mortis identity way back then?

Or is it just that Elite class racing works like Mexican wrestling? :) :) :)

And Beau should be the easiest of all to figure out: Artha rides around on a dragon that just happens to have the same exact profile as the gold dragon his father bred. :D

But then again, other than a change of clothes, Superman's entire disguise as Clark Kent consists of donning a pair of glasses...

My friend a DC fangirl says that Mr.Kent also changed his accent slightly and manner of speach when in super-costume. But that's not important.

When Mortis said he knew Drakkus from the elite class track, and then it was mentioned that he knew Mag claw I assumed they used it against each other.

And ever since then when I think of Mortis or Drakkus I think Dragon Masked Wrestling/ers.

...And then I gigggle.

"In this cornner, a mag blast from the past, The Dragon Preist MOOOORTIS!" "And in the Blue Cornner, a god of the Destruction in mortal form DRAAAAKKUS!"


Okay, I'm going to shut up now.

Don't worry ^-^;;. I do the same thing. Several times they have Drakkus' and Mortis' faces across from eachother in profile in front of that...dramatic...red-background thing. I always do the obligatory announcer voice: "It's the doomsday match of the century folks. Mortis vs. the Drakkinator - coming this fall on PPV."

A mag-blast from the past..... that's kinda funny. :D

I think that fight would be illegal, maybe you they should hold it out on international waters. :D Go way out into the ocean, whoever gets knocked out of the air get eaten by the sharks! Well, if their teeth can get through the armour they wear....

How could Word be the dragon booster from 3000 years ago when he's only 50 years old???

also, wrod's chin is much more prominant then the original DB

May I ask, who is Drakkus?

Drakkus is............well....................um..................hmmmmm :unsure:

Drakkus is the guy in Black, Purple, with orange zig-zags, armour, who is like e-v-i-l and he almost Kills Artha, but then Artha learns how to "Release the human" and he Kicks Drakkus's armoured Butt!!!! ha ha ha!!!
Go Artha, go Artha, Go Artha....
He's seen in the return of Drakkus part 1 and part 2, with his Dragon Abadonn, who looks like this:

I have a small feeling that my description didn't help much, so could some one else explain who Drakkus is to Aniu?

Ya I think that an amulet or something similar to that, (ancient gear, and word knowing the ancient ways) transformed them into more powerful hidden identities, I though of maybe they can only transform when the moons Drakkus and Abandon combine.

ok, In Mortis's vision, he saw Armagadon's eyes, and thought he was the warrior from three thousand years ago.
He also saw drakkus in his vision too.

What? Why would word do something as noble as that? I think the dragon Booster just used the same voice actor to possibly save money, or use the actor's talents. Also Word is only 50, as previously stated, and in Paynn Rising as a kid the original dragon booster was shown on the wall.

Drakkus knew who Mortis was, because he said, my old friend, and I was always better at mag claw than you were, so they probably trained mag claw together when they were growing up.

Mortis is a priest, and seeing as in the episode eye of the dragon, Word would do anything to destroy, the priesthood, the priests probably change their name so they won't be killed when their of guard.

This reminds me that dragon city police would probably arrest those that were fighting, so word might hid his identity so he would keep his high stature in society, and so he would not get arrested.

Was he reffering to Armaggeddon when he mentioned a 3000 old warrior?
Word cannot be the original DB or the original SB or a warrior from three thousand years ago because he was in the Dragon Priest with Connor learning about the original war and how to stop the next war. Perhaps Drakkus was in the original war, but Word somehow found the ancient armor and called himself the new Drakkus or something.

I doubt it. If that were so, the only time they could've transformed would've been when Artha and friends went into the Shadow Track. Yet Word transforms in RoD and later in the Defiant. And the moons are in alignment only once a year, and I doubt a year passed between his transformations.
