Scarification

Adewale's facial scars are a curious issue, imo... and knowing what I do of scarification, I can't agree with either the idea that the scars are self-inflicted or brought about by a life in slavery. 

Scarification was a common practice among various tribes; a permanent ID badge. As such, if dictated by tradition, by common practice, can scarring be considered self-inflicted? As Adewale's scarring is also darker coloured, it doesn't seem like an accidental memory of injury; sometimes ashes were introduced into the scarification wound to darken the scar.

Comparing what little we've seen of Adewale's scars with other scars, even from Black Flag, I think they're too... consistent, perhaps, to be from a fight. However, I do agree that maybe it's best to keep the detail out of the article until we learn more. But discussing them might not, hopefully, be amiss?

Considering that Adewale is roughly around the same age that Edward is (at least from what I can tell), I doubt he would have had scarification done because that would have meant he'd received it at quite a young age. Scarring one's body on purpose seems more of an adult thing to do, if not a coming of age thing.

I do believe that tribal scarification would be more to do with body modification, since you can only label it as self-inflicted if you were the one to do it to yourself. Slate Vesper (talk) 20:23, July 10, 2013 (UTC)

What would to us be "quite a young age" is when people received their first scars. Adewale certainly seems to be well out of his puberty; that's one reason for a given community to mark a person. Ritual scarification was not something a person did to themselves, but something another did to them, as said person passed milestones of the community.

That may be true, but considering he's a former slave, it may be that he was taken from his parents and community at a young age, where he would then presumably be put to work by his master. Considering this, he may never have had any ritual scars, and they're just the result of punishment for attempted escape or failing a task. We won't really know until Black Flag is released. :S Slate Vesper (talk) 18:55, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

Touché. It might be, though, that we'll learn more only after the DLC's release; whatever the case, I know I'll be looking forward to Adewale's story... amongst other things. :) Sadelyrate (siniath) 22:36, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

Trinidad, really?

Last I checked, gameplay demos aren't canon. Whilst it may end up that Adewale hails from Trinidad in the final game, we can't actually say as much until it releases. --Jasca Ducato _{Council Chamber} ^{Assassination record} 08:14, August 29, 2013 (UTC)

DLC Release Date?

I know that there is going to be a DLC for Adewale called Freedom Cry, but when is the release date for the DLC?TwixBreak (talk) 20:32, November 5, 2013 (UTC)

Release date hasn't been announced yet :) Crook ^{The Constantine District} 20:35, November 5, 2013 (UTC)\

Picture

Could we change Adé's picture to this?

No. --Kainzorus Prime ^{Walkie-talkie} 16:54, November 22, 2013 (UTC)

While it's a much more detailed and high quality picture, the fact that the legs are cut-off is a no-go. If by any chance, you know where to find a complete version, I think you'll have more success :) For now though, we'll be using the one we have (Kain, a longer reply would have been polite :/) Crook ^{The Constantine District} 16:59, November 22, 2013 (UTC)

It wasn't impolite, it was simple and to the point. Also, that image falls more under a concept art, rather than a rendered model. --Kainzorus Prime ^{Walkie-talkie} 17:01, November 22, 2013 (UTC)

Simple, to the point and frustrating, because it's just a slap in the face of the commenter. At least have the courtesy of explaining why the image isn't suitable. Also, the image seems more like a render to me, but whatever, I'm sure Ubisoft will make a render of Assassin Adé for the dlc. Crook ^{The Constantine District} 17:06, November 22, 2013 (UTC)

You're overreacting. --Kainzorus Prime ^{Walkie-talkie} 17:07, November 22, 2013 (UTC)

Adewale able to use Eagle Vision/Sense?

Not sure if he is descendant of First Civilization.

Or,the eagle vision usage is just for building a easy gameplay for players get used to.Sleeplust (talk) 14:22, December 17, 2013 (UTC)
