Theonite is a special and important material or element known for several uses in the world of Skullgirls, most commonly between Parasites and Living Weapons. Theonite is also tied to the Skullgirl.

Resonance[]

Theonite resonance is a spike of energy that comes from strong constriction of Theonite. Several spots in New Meridian have been mentioned to contain Theonite resonance. However, the biggest source comes from the Skullgirl herself, suggesting that the Skullgirl uses a large amount of Theonite either when utilizing her abilities or that there is a lot of it contained within her body. Possibly from the Skull Heart.

Uses[]

  • Parasites and Living Weapons are said to be created using Theonite. Some are mentioned to use or feed off Theonite to strengthen their powers.
  • Isaac has been using shards of a unique type of Theonite he discovered in his search to time travel.
  • Anti-Skullgirl Lab 6 specialized in Theonite research, aiming to discover the full capabilities of the material.
  • Dr. Avian used Theonite to balance out Peacock and prevent soul contamination, a mental corruption that occurs in people possessing multiple (synthetic or natural) Parasites.
  • Theonite has a big involvement with the Skullgirl. Using a Theonite Resonance Detector, Peacock and her crew were able to close in on the Skullgirl.
  • In the alternative ending for Valentine, she said there could have been a way to seal off the "Theonic" energy of the Skull Heart, meaning that the Skull Heart eventually is related to "Theon" in a way.

Trivia[]

  • According to Eliza, Parasites were known as Theons, which may be the in-verse origin of the name of the material.
    • Since not only parasites come from or are associated with Theonite, the name origin could also be the other way around.
  • The out of universe origins of the name might have to do with it's association with gods and god-like beings (like the words theism, theist .etc.) as many beings made from Theonite or associated with it are named after gods or other mythological and religious figures and inspirations.
  • Theonite is roughly as rare as a meteor rock (maybe just a bit more common) and has some connection to the Skull Heart (not 100% clear). It's what Living Weapons are made of, whereas Parasites are directly derived from the Skull Heart itself, in some way.
