#Zo'beb

"My brothers! My sisters! Follow me to the promised land, beyond the drowning land of Achra! Among the stars! My blood brings salvation! My fire brings destruction! Join me or drown!"

So, who here has played Path of Achra?

It's a Roguelike in development and it's hell-a fun! I like to call it a power fantasy simulator, cause it's so easy to gain power and feel powerful...but it's also easy to get drunk on that power and die for it.

I finished the path and finished a campaign with Zo'beb here, a Volkite - basically, an alien that lives in the volcanic underground of the planet. I like to think that prior to his pilgrimage to escape this doomed world that is Achra, Zo'beb was a gladiator. A slave of the colosseum, fighting for the glory of the fat cats above. But when the lava lands began to flood, they were the first to leave. Then the masses left in hordes. The slaves, like Zo'beb, remained, chained down and unable to escape.

Zo'beb did not care.

He had brushed with death many times and he accepted that his demise would come soon. He simply lied down to sleep, ready to welcome death in an embrace - like a bride.

But then, Humbaba, God of Blood, came to him in a dream. And chose him to become his Prophet. The last son of Humbaba and would bring him glory among the stars.

Zo'beb then freed himself of his shackles, took whatever armaments he could gather, and raced to the surface. There, he regained a new zeal for love and a stronger love for battle. He was no longer a slave for the self-righteous; he was now a warrior for a God!
