He is known in/for/by:
countless pages
6 acted stories
2 generations
2 different names
1 for the man
1 for the machine
1 love&life lost for 2 unknown blessings
1 soul by his son redeemed
Who is he?

Please dont forget to put your IGN in the pm you send with your answer, and put "riddle" as the title.

I'm hoping this one might be kinda tough, I'll add more clues tomorrow if no one has found it.

[Ultima_Pi]

Out of curiousity, if people guess now, and get it wrong, and you add more clues afterwards, can those people still guess?

[GM-Pandora]

Yes, they can.

[GM-Pandora]

I've had some interresting answers XD

The answer was Darth Vader / Anakin Skywalker

countless pages => numerous SW books
6 acted stories => 6 movies (2 trilogy)
2 generations => when the first trilogy of movies was released most of us were not born yet, our parents were about our age.
2 different names => Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader
1 for the man = Anakin
1 for the machine = Darth Vader
1 love&life lost for 2 unknown blessings = Padm? Amidala (his wife & love) dies giving birth to his 2 kids which he doesn't know about at that time (he learns about them only when they are grown up).
1 soul by his son redeemed = He redeems himself by "killing" his master to save his son.

I didn't have time to add my other clues XD, I had at least 5 already written up, darn!

Well, only 1 person found it >_>

It's made of grey and white.
It weights between 1 and 1.5 KG.
It cannot feel pain.
Not everyone uses it well.
In fact, we all use it very little.
But one thing's for sure we all need it!

Please dont forget to put your IGN in the pm you send with your answer, and put "riddle" as the title.

[GM-Pandora]

It's.. a brain!

Your brain is made of grey and white matter.
It weights between 1 and 1.5 KG.
The Brain itself doesnt feel pain, if you have a headache, it's the muscles and tissues around it that you feel.
The rest is self explanatory I think, use your brain!


2 winners this time! 500k each ^_^

pandora, technically it is only the brain that feels pain.

we asociate pain with neuro receptors and not the brain but it is actually the brain that compute the signal and make us aware that a probable or likely damage has occured within our body.

when you think pain is bad, think again. how do you know that you've broken a finger if you do not have pain? how do you know that you have a haemorhage when pain do not exist?

pain is our damage control system's sensor. it makes us aware that damage has occured and that something needs to be done. actually it forces us to fix it, because we instinctively connects pain with bad.

besides that everything else is true.

do you want me to post how pain works? because if you do, i will.
