Chapter X - Biblical Reference?

[Orion]

So many might say the new DLC coming this winter is not holiday related, but something dawned on me the other day that I thought I'd share and gather thoughts on:

It goes without saying that the new survivor looks like a heavyset Jesus Christ. The memes are already everywhere...especially when you think about a P3 one.

The killer is named The Legion. A Bible story tells Jesus casting a set of demons out of a man and into pigs, which then drowned themselves in a river. When Jesus asked the demons what thier name was, they said "Legion".

Not sure if the new DLC does nod to the Christian mthology, thoughts?

The name could just as well be a pop-culture reference to the demon Legion in Ghostrider, makes just as much sense.

I can uderstand that. But demons come from Christian mythology. Ghostrider cannot take credit for coming up with the concept of demons.

I'm not sure where you get that idea; there are many cultures past and present and mythologies with their own definitions of demons.

True. I base my logic on the fact that the word demon comes from Greek and Latin, which Rome and Greece was predomnately Christian. Many cultures might have concepts of a demon, but do not call it by the name 'demon', ie: spirits, shades, and other cultures had no name for them like Ancient Egypt.

Let's assume this is the case: why is it important?

if you die as the new survivor you have to wait 72hours to play him again

Dont be so serious. It's not.

Fyi the demons called themselves Legion because there were a lot of them, it's not an actual name.

In order to command a demon or set of demons, you must know thier name. They named themselves Legion.

While we, of course, do not know the ins and outs of demonology, what we do know is that there are many different types, some stronger than others. One cannot rule out a set of lesser demons that have no name individually, but collectively they are powerful enough to be named. Again, if we had a "Demon Naming Rulebook", it would probably help with this topic. ;-)

It is mentioned in the OP.

LOL, it's metal themed, heavyset jesus has a black metal skin even

[Sivarg]

Interesting theory. Me like!
Another theory I've seen a few places around here is that instead of Ghostface, we get Legion. The mask, head covered by hood. Knife, stabbity stab stab! Is like the survivors almost due to vaulting, ghostface is human. Split personalities etc.

The chapter is also called 'Darkness Among Us' not Chapter X
