Hey yeah. Maybe there is a bit of inspiration for Abe's character right there.

you never read the ancient testament?
the first Profet of God

ODDBODD · #8 02-27-2002, 10:45 AM

yes i have but im just stating that it doesn't make me think. Oddworld has based most of their names on modern things.

***Xavier*** · #9 02-27-2002, 10:48 AM

hmmm yes but Abe is not a "modern" character he's more a spiritual character
maybe a little conection

ODDBODD · #10 02-27-2002, 10:51 AM

the thing is, i find no connection with munch and the modern times?? same with gabbits.

MojoMan220 · #11 02-27-2002, 11:01 AM

I understand Xavier. I just couldn't understand what you meant by that. And yes Abe is very spiritual. Hmmm, it makes me think.

sodd · #12 02-27-2002, 04:46 PM

Hahaha

you guys are all such fools...

Ahh well.. it's a stage in the development of each human being..

Cool Paramite · #13 02-27-2002, 04:58 PM

I think it really has a connection with Abraham Lincoln.

*Scared*

His alter ego!

Shrykullmaster · #15 02-27-2002, 11:01 PM

ODDBODD · #16 02-28-2002, 08:09 AM

nooo make him a rasta man

***Xavier*** · #17 02-28-2002, 02:05 PM

ODDBODD · #18 03-01-2002, 09:02 AM

another hat that would look cool is a cap... abe will look cool with and spray can in one hand, a smoking drill hanging out of his jeans with shells all over the floor and flipping the bird!

***Wil*** · #19 03-01-2002, 06:38 PM

The Abe character is based strongly around Abraham Lincoln, the U.S. President who was strongly anti-slavery. Sorry.

sodd · #20 03-01-2002, 08:19 PM

Abe is an abbrivation for Abraham..

Abraham from the BIBLE!

Altho I am not religeous, I do know a fare share

and can tell you that Abe was not created to resemble Abe LIncoln.. Altho Lincoln had the same intentions as Abraham, any resemblence is a coincidence..

In the bible, Abraham frees the slaves from Egypt I believe....

Abe's clothes (that little piece of clothe) are also linked to religeous meaning, as the loin clothe was featured in the bible, even worn by Jesus himself.

There are many other resemblences from Oddworld to religeon.. They call it symbolism...

MojoMan220 · #21 03-01-2002, 08:34 PM

Good point sodd.

I still don't know how to quote, but Xavier, you said that Abe is not modern, he's spiritual. Since when is being spiritual not being modern?
And, yes, Moses was the one who freed the slaves, not Abraham. Abraham's the guy who was gonna kill his son because god told him to, but then god sent a goat or something to stop him... I don't know, God in the old testement changes his mind a lot. Whoa, never mind, forget I said that. Don't want to incite a riot.

Ok, but I don't think Abe is realy modern, look at the Mudokons villages, all made with wood... not realy modern

ODDBODD · #25 03-03-2002, 09:56 AM

modern... pfft check out the threads.. hardly modern

***Xavier*** · #26 03-03-2002, 10:55 AM

is that modern ?
I don't think so

MojoMan220 · #27 03-03-2002, 11:02 AM

Wow, Xavier, I look all over the net for Oddworld pics... but I have never seen any of the images you have shown anywhere. You have to show me some more images, where did you get all of them?

***Xavier*** · #28 03-03-2002, 12:35 PM
