Okay, fuck the pretenses which I suspect the discussion of fluff is about. Let's face it: Akroma's far more active than Ragnarok. It is far more convenient for the people reliant on void-lore to go with her information since she can be contacted and expected to deliver a response rather quickly. Plus since she is more open with it, they can quickly access some relevant details even if she's offline.

Rag's Lore: One guy rules over the entire void, and apparently he's nice. To me it doesn't make that much sense for the complete antithesis of creation, an embodiment of entropy and destruction, to be a nice guy. Did anyone challenge Void's rule? How did Void come into power? Why did void entities use the Collective Concious, a twilight realm, to take their forms in creation?
The Collective Unconscious, which is what it's actually called, is also Persona lore. Which is mine.

Which you also established as a Twilight realm. Which makes it a bit odd that it forces void entities to adopt a specific form in Rag's lore. Especially when it would have done so in a different manner than it does to persona.

I didn't come up with THAT part. The Unconscious contains, apart from various Shadows of humanity and other sentient beings, two entities representing the positive and negative traits of humanity.

Most likely Rag used it to allow Void entities to assume forms appropriate to Creation- where better to acquire such forms than the collective unconscious of all humanity?

Yeah, it's a bit of an issue if he didn't consult you. Plus, judging by what the Persona look like, which is to say, significantly different from their originating mythological sources albeit maintaining the same key features I would think that void entities would look similar, rather than just outright copying the forms of pop-culture. Unless of course, Nyan-cat is now eligible as a persona? :P

* USEC has claimed interdimensional stuff, so you can't have that either.

I dunno. Something about mermaids I thought. And Marie spawned a tentacled mermaid baby that grew up to adorably terrorize the beaches of Auatralia. Or something like that.

Still, looking around in the subconscious of humanity is a great way to make forms that are at least partway comprehensible to humans.

Yep. Except not that many of them seemed to care about being comprehensible. Rag's lore was that they are outright forced to rather than choosing to.

You pretty much defined the entire place. It was similar to a modern city, had measures to temporarily change people in forms that were more suited to water. They also had waterproof consumer electronics and their own corporations.

Probably Creation's automatically forcing them into a form comprehensible to everyone by taking it from the default template which humanity selected. So.....the Collective Unconscious.
