Talk:Vacuo/@comment-26299202-20150630152121/@comment-24.104.77.242-20150708144232

The Asian continent in our world is typically referred to as "The Land of the Rising Sun", so it makes sense that Vacuo, a place that obviously gets a lot of sun, would be home to Sun Wukong. But its description concurrently makes it appropriate for anyone of apparently Arabian, Egyptian, or African descent (to name ONLY a few). As fans are torn between Egypt (Cleopatra) and Arabia (Aladdin) for Emerald's origin allusion, it would make sense for Vacuo to be her home as well. Sage is a bit trickier, his allusion is Aesop who should be Greek. The Greco-Roman allusions seem to come from Mistral (Neptune, Pyrrha, Mercury if he wasn't lying, Cinder has a Greek counterpart named Rhodopis who is the apparent origin of the Cinderella tale), but based on the breathable style of his clothing, I'd personally say he's from Vacuo too.
