The Untold Mystery
*Lucas and Wrastor from Rivals of Aether are walking with each other. Wrastor is walking faster than usual.*
Lucas: Hey, what's the rush?
Wrastor: I hate this road. I want to get out of here as quickly as possible.
Why?
The road's haunted, man.
...are you serious?
Yep.
*As they keep walking their usual speeds, Lucas hears a crack, from his feet.*
*He looks down to see... a skull fragment, with a mix of blood!*
*Lucas catches up with Wrastor.*
*As soon as they both leave the road, an unknown spirit appears! It seems to be the person in Wrastor's story, since half of their head looks like it's been blown off...*
Do you dare send an ask, to see who this one is?

I think my number 1 fear for the Rivals 2 story mode is that they pull some 'twist reveal' where Loxodont was actually being spoken to by the abyss and made evil that way the whole time and he's so-called redeemed at the end of the game. I'm already pretty sure he's going to be playable since he's the big bad of the series, and god I just want some proper villains in the roster.
I think a big part of why the Rivals cast always has contrivances and abyss trickery making them fight each other is that almost none are at all bad guys. The closest we really have are Sylvanos, who is more of a force of nature than anything, and Elliana, who I'll be real was and is completely justified fight me. The closest we have to properly evil characters are like Zetterburn and Wrastor who are major figures in groups that pillage and raid other civilizations, but that's almost never really focused on lore-wise.
I think with the Dungeons of Aether characters coming to Rivals 2, we could see some good variety there as well; Artemis would be a breath of fresh air in this regard, as she's almost comically evil in how aggressive and power-hungry she is (and she's great for that.) She definitely comes off as a 'hero-by-circumstance' instead of a proper do-gooder, and I think that'll make her much more interesting in the Rivals 2 lineup.
Also while we're at it give me unique voicelines for certain matchups. There's a few characters who have well-established rivalries/other relationships, and with how they're finally really characterizing the cast in-game, I want to see them go that route with some unique bits of dialogue. Doesn't have to be anything much, but something like Elliana sounding more bloodthirsty and aggressive against Wrastor or Maypul acknowledging Sylvanos as the powerful being that forces her people to stick to the treetops would make them game so much more lively. I'm sure we'll at least see more of that in the story mode, though, even if not actually in-game.

Hailey: So, where do we start? There's like, a million books here!
Lucas: But, Hailey, a library is a treasure hunt! You never know what gems you may find along the way!
Arco: Ahh, like a book on how to catch?
*Arco grabs a heavy book.*
HEADS UP!
*Arco throws the book, hitting Lucas in the back of the head.*
AHH!
*Lucas falls to the ground, dropping the book he had in his paw.*
And, ow.

There are three types of people.
*Clairen falls down the stairs.*
Hodan: Are you okay?
Ori: Stop falling down the stairs!
Elliana: How'd the ground taste?
----------
Orcane: Elliana has no survival skills. Her need to win has replaced them.

Watch this.
Hey, Elliana! Race you to the bottom of the stairs!
*Elliana throws herself out a window.*
----------
Pomme: Let's all agree that going up the stairs on all fours is actually the best experience on earth.
Maypul: Conversely, going down the stairs on all fours is actually the most terrifying experience on earth.
----------
Anya: What do we think of Wrastor?
*pause*

Ranno: I'd assume as hard as it is to bowl in a maid outfit.
Ranno: Wouldn't be any harder, but you'd get some WEIRD looks.

Ranno: No!
Ranno: ...
Ranno: ...Maybe.

Forsburn: *flips the board*
----------
Absa: *eating a cinnamon roll*
Ranno: Cannibalism.
Absa: *confused chewing noises*
----------
Wrastor: Clairen, don’t go picking a fight with Anya. Don’t forget, they’re powerful, they could make life difficult for you.
Clairen: Wow, I wonder what it'd be like to have a difficult life.
----------
Elliana: Hey, Hodan. Why did the chicken cross the road?
Hodan: To get to the other side?
Elliana: You were supposed to say “I dunno, why?“
Hodan: Uh... fine. I don’t know. Why did it cross the road?
Elliana: To get to the idiot’s house.
Hodan: ...Ok?
Forsburn: Hey, Hodan. Knock knock.
Hodan: No.
Forsburn: You were supposed to say “who’s there?”
Hodan: Fine... let’s get this over with. Who’s there?
