What if Solomon David started life as the Prince of Persia in another universe? Makes you think. I mean getting a mystical key to the universe makes a certain sort of sense after you play the original trilogy by Ubisoft in the previous decade. But my opinion is worthless because I enjoyed Warrior Within the most out of all of them. Yes including the original 2D version. Heavy metal music angry prince was cool darn it, and that crumbling fortress reeked of atmosphere.

True fact: During the Demiurge war, Soloman David took to the field under his wrestling name, The Warrior Within.

When Solomon David was young, he wrote a lot of embarrassing erotic poetry about a Shulamite maiden.

Solomon is too dumb to truly understand Royalty. Insisting on following the path of the conquering king rather then going gently caress him and finding his own way.

I knew that was going to be Solomon's shtick. He's a tyrant because he's convinced he has to be one, until someone superior who can rule justly where he can't (i.e. the messiah) comes along and takes his worlds off his hands. What a fun interpretation of Pride. What a good comic.

Nah, if the demurges were heroes, they wouldn't be demiurges. You don't get to stay the ruler of 14% of Creation without being a real turd of a person, which is why the best and most sympathetic of them, from what we've seen, have either hosed off from their throne (Maya, Zoss) or abdicated power in some other way (Mammon).

So that's how his immortality works, I guess. He'll have to live until someone he considers worthy to succeed him shows up (which will never happen)

It's great because Solomon considers himself to be a genuinely good person & hero. In his heart he knows he is always in the right, regardless of what he actually does in practice. Wouldn't surprise me to learn that all of the buildings are gleaming white because he enamels them using the polished flat teeth of his enemies. As a gift to the people you understand. Definitely not something terror inducing.

Baseball, Zaid. The one constant through all the years, Zaid, has been baseball. For 2,000 years the Wheel has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This coliseum, this tournament -- it's a part of our past, Zaid. It reminds us of all that once was good, and it could be again. If I build it, she will come, Zaid. She will most definitely come.

Solomon David knows that Jadis' prophecy is never wrong, and she's prophesied that he's gonna get his rear end kicked, so he's contrived a way to explain that, actually, he loves getting body slammed by one drunk idiot barista. And that it's not blood in his mouth, it's victory wine.

Bilirubin posted:"Yeah, take that beardy! Now go get me Zaid so we can all go home!" I mean the goal here is still 'rescue Zaid', not 'win tournament', the hope is probably to just get close enough, grab him, and run. That's when things'll really go off-track.

i really like that Solomon knows Zaid is just some loser kid, but assumes there must be something significant about him and the easiest way to see what that might be is just keep him around until something crazy happens
