Oh, so Sophitia was only unconscious?
I guess both of them got engulfed in the Astral Chaos then.
Actually, the text doesn't really clarify anything, as she's found "collapsed" or "lying in one of the castle's rooms", which doesn't really mean she's uncoscious or dead.On the other hand, the relationship charts (as seen in the pics from this topic) has her square grayed-out, which means she's definitively dead (much like Rothion, Toki and Ivy's parents, all of whom are also grayed-out)
Cassandra's profile is one of the few I can actually make out from the scans, so here's a translation:
Note: The first paragraph isn't a straight translation, as it's very hard to discern most of the text, so I filled in a few gaps and some parts are unfinished. Doesn't really matter much, as it's just a summary of her story in SC2 (aka why she got into all this). Also, English is not my first language, so please forgive any mistakes on my part.
"Sophitia's sister. Possess an unyielding spirit and the courage to even step against the gods without fear. Loved her sister, and was always the playmate for her sister's children, Pyrrha and Patroklos. [?]
The day Cassandra started to fight was when it was discovered that her sister's children possessed the cursed sword's evil. Seeing her sister crying, Cassandra's anger towards the Gods began to grow. Following her emotions, she ran to the temple of Hephaestus, and picked up the weapons of the god which were left there. She embarked on a journey to destroy the cursed sword in her sister's place.
Eventually, she infiltrated the home of the cursed sword, Osthreinsburg Castle. But who stood in her path was none other than Sophitia, who surrendered to the evil sword after her daughter was taken hostage. Cassandra was so shocked, that she was knocked out unconscious from a single strike from her sister.
By the time Cassandra woke up, her surroundings were warped into a strange place. With the destruction of Soul Edge, the Astral Chaos that corrupted the castle began to contract quickly. Dragging her injured body along as she looked for Sophitia, she finally found her sister's collapsed body in one of the castle's rooms. Cassandra rushed over there instantly. Just at that moment, a rift to another dimension opened in front of her eyes. ----Several moments later, the castle's surroundings returned to normal, but there was no sign of Cassandra's figure. "
Other stuff I can discern:
+ Li Long is listed as part of the Fu-Ma now, for those who wanted to know what was of him. His son is given a name too.
+ Lee Shun-Shin (Hwang's mentor and historical korean figure) is confirmed dead, much like in real life (he died in 1598). Han-myeong, on the other hand, is still alive.
+ The square with the korean trio doesn't really reveals anything new. It's mostly a summary of Japan's actions during the series, including the korean invasions of Hideyoshi Hashiba. The text under the artwork says that those who sought Soul Edge are now known as the heroes who fought against the Japanese, and that it's said they are now training a new generation of people to protect the mainland.
+ Can't read Xianghua's profile, but it seems Xiba is in fact Kilik's son. The profile for Kong Xiuqiang explains she gave birth to his child safely, but he inherited the evil aura from him too. Not having a way to purify it, she went to Edge Master for advice, and he introduced her to Kong, reuniting both father and daughter finally. Kong swore to protect his grandson, and believing in him Xianghua decided to entrust her son to him. Also, as a suggestion of her husband Wuxin (I suppose she was depressed over parting with his son), she pays both a visit once a year. The child is not named in the profile, but it's quite easy to see it's Xiba.
If you wanna start translating right away, I can take photos of some of the text.
If you can get clearer and better pics of the text, then I'd be very greatful. I'd love to take on everything, actually, but I don't want to ask too much, so this is the ones I'd love in order of interest, and you can get what you can:
+ All relationship charts.
+ The pages for the missing characters (Cass, X, Taki, Setsuka, anyone else), including the secondary profiles below them (Rothion, Toki, Chie, etc.)
+ Kilik's profile (only one I'm missing)
+ The "Other Characters" page (the one with Frederick/Sieg's dad, Salia, Arcturus and Dampierre's three fellas)
+ Weapon/Style profiles for the ones not on the official site (Elysium, Alpha & Omega, Kilik, EM and Algol)
+ Any of the ones in the first post (the one with Arahabaki or the Ming Empire).
Anything you can provide will be perfect, anyway, so if you can Thanks A Lot!
