Title: Liuzqo Derfa
Post by: Spoon on August 14, 2012, 09:36:09 am
The Zy have many tales about heroes, aces and larger than life commanders.
One of these living legends is known as Liuzqo Derfa.

This pilot made a name for himself during the days of the Hertak invasion of Zy space when he singlehandely engaged and destroyed three Hertak Ravager class fighters, got out of his fighter to collect all three hertak pilot corpses and brought them back to base. There, he ritually slaughtered the corpses and ate their hearts (no mean feat when you know what a Hertak heart is like). After this he became know as Liuzqo Derfa which roughly translates into 'Eater of (many) hearts'. Even though he continued to win a great many victories for the Zy after this, he could not change the fate of the Zy becoming the battle thralls of the Hertak.
Now, under the rule of his new overlords, he is being dispatched to fight on a new front. Will he be able to obtain his 100th kill and rise even higher as a legend among the Zy?

100 kills? Not enough for a badass Zy legend. This guy is really old I guess?

Well, if it's 100 hertak fighters, it's more impressive than, say, 100 nordera fighters :p

100 kills is an awful lot for an NPC.

Spoon's promised something on the 22nd or around there, so we may get a mini-campaign where we play as this pilot.  Does 100 kills for a PC sound more plausible?

100 kills for a PC is nothing special in the target rich enviroments of many WoD missions.
There are several missions in WoD where you go above 25 (or much further) kills in that mission alone.

But going up against three ravegers alone is rather uncomfortable, unless you where a pinball in an earlier life (or are flying a prometheus frame).

I hope whatever is released, will contain a few more details about him. His little place in the character profile (that I just added to the Wiki --> proofreading would be appreciated since I'm not a native speaker) has far too many "Unkown"s to my liking.

There should be art of these Zy and other races. I want to see what they look like.

Vaguely, but not that much more.

One could argue that's still quite vague.

It is, but he wanted to know what they look like and that's all we've got.

I too would like to see some Zy art, I've wanted to for many moons actually.

But for right now, how do you ritually slaughter something that's already dead?

And how do you pronounce Liuzqo?

100 kills not enough? You people are spoiled brats :)

Well, by slaughter Spoon's referring to the definition where you take apart a creature for its meat, in this case its heart.

The Hertak-Zy War

EDIT: Actually that brings up a good question, this blurb implies that the Zy are fairly recent additions to the Hertak armada. SPOON! Are you messing with us or is it true?
Title: Re: Liuzqo Derfa
Post by: MatthTheGeek on August 17, 2012, 09:16:26 am
Well,
1) we don't know when this campaign might be set, could be centuries before WoD happened.
2) what's the lifetime of a Zy ? That's probably said somewhere but I don't remember and too lazy to search (also at work).
Title: Re: Liuzqo Derfa
Post by: -Norbert- on August 17, 2012, 09:29:02 am
Zy have a lifespan between 50 and 60 years, but that still leaves a lot of possibilites.

Just to put a few ideas out there:
The campaign might be set in the past (if it really is a campaign... it might also be a story or a video or something), the player is a clone, Liuzqo was put into cold sleep and is now awakenened, or maybe when the real Liuzqo died, the best pilot of the whole Zy race took over this "title" and you play one of his succesors, or you're some young startup Zy pilot eager to be just like his long dead idol...

I'll be happy as long as I can consume Hertak hearts.  They don't deserve "honor".

They are not evil. They think they are fighting for the survival of their race.

They are an incredibly militaristic race that have, and believe in, a doomsday prophecy. We would do the same.

Jellyfish is correct. And funnily enough so are you. You misunderstand the Hertak.
