Liake and Dyne

[Dragonmaster Dyne]

I'm not sure if this has been asked before so don't bite my head off if it has.
If Luna was reborn into Luna and Dyne was reborn into Liake how come Liake looks soooo old? Shouldn't he be the same age.

Dyne wasn't reborn as Laike, in the same way Althena/Luna was.

The way I saw it, Althena as a goddess had to be reborn as a human, so that she could actually be a part of humanity. Otherwise, her powers and her wisdom would pose as a separator.

As for Dyne, he just lost his Dragonmaster powers, his magical abilities. I imagine it's akin to how Alex transforms, losing his armor and magic in turn as well. Laike's other changes afterward must be cosmetic... can't be recognized by many people.

Yep, Laike just aged naturally. Main change seems to have been to grow a beard.

In the SegaCD game and artbook he's shown as having a mustache and beard even as a dragonmaster, so the main change there was to his clothing.

[Dragonmaster Dyne]

how come he takes on a new name. What keeps him from going under the identity of Dyne? Is it because people think he is dead.

[BraveKing]

Well look at it this way, they wanted people to live by their own power. SO Dyne took up a new name so peopel wouldnt look to the Dragonmaster teh same way tehy looked to altehna

[Dragonmaster Dyne]

Even though your writing was hard to understand. I get what you mean. They need to start relying on themselves like they talk about in the game.

I suspect he also wanted to retire from the hero business. At some point he says he loves his new life as Laike, easygoing guy. He seems content to fade into obscurity, unlike Mel, Lemia, and Ghaleon who all continued in positions of leadership and power. Furthermore, in TSS it's implied or stated outright that the dragonmaster has to have a lot of magic, and since he lost all his confining the Black Dragon he perhaps could no longer be a dragonmaster. It may also be that there is no need for a dragonmaster if the goddess is currently human, as Althena became around when Dyne "retired" (the order of events is not clear).
