Forum:Forerunner origins

What do you think the origins of the Forunners are? Here's my theory (Note that I have posted this on the Forunner Talk page also.

There was once a great alien race we call the Forunners and they are now either extinct or nearly extinct. They found or created the flood and tried to defeat them by natural ways but were only left with the option of building and activating the halos. The various Monitors of course witnessed this event and stored it in their memory. Two groups of Forunners were left to make sure history didn't repeat itself. They both went to different sides of the galaxy and adapted into 3 different species on 2 different planets. On one planet, Earth, the Forunners became humans and lost all memory of the events that had happened as Forunners except for a small subconcious bit of information in the back of their minds. On the other planet the Forunners separated into 2 species, the Elites and the Prophets. The Elites were the lower class but have more of the Forunner genes in their bloods but less of the memory, while the Prophets have a lot of the information and only a little of the genes. How about that idea? -- Lordofmonsterisland "Roar to me 19:54, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Here's my take... a long, long, time ago... there was a car factory. And this car factory was run by super-intelligent robots named Steve. Now the Steves one day decided to create a new design; an all-terrain vehicle that could prove robust enough to survive all sorts of environments. It was produced with great success, and the Steves, very proud with their creaton, and certain of more inspired designs to come, named it... the Forerunner. Or was it the 4Runner...?  But, seriously, good theory, dude. That's prolly how Bungie's gonna write it. But I dunno if Humans are related to Covies... just doesn't really work. But, good theory over all.

The reason I said the whole "Forunners = Humans and Elites and Prophets" was because of this image. How about that. -- Lordofmonsterisland "Roar to me 20:28, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
