SICK LOOT!
Name: Luca "Stardust" Mathers
Class: Alchemist
Portrait: 2

A legendary rags-to-riches celebrity whose masterful skill with a fog machine is at #8 on her list of desirable traits on her resume. Born into poverty, Luca distinguished herself from the rest of the homeless urchins by MacGyvering together a pyrotechnical display of massive proportions for a surprise during a royal parade of her country's origin. Naturally, giant explosions 'n poo poo everywhere threw the crowd into a serious panic, but once the disruption was properly investigated, the local authorities, especially the king, were so impressed that a single child could put together something to put the royal parade to shame (and be so smug about it, too!) that at the age of 11 she was put to work as the primary stage director for the king's personal theater venue. Funnily enough, when your theater business starts booming turns out you stop being a homeless urchin pretty quickly!

Having quickly become more famous than even her own king, by a few years later entertainers all over the entire world were chomping at the bit for the opportunity to work with the legendary Stardust. Her inspiring tale of the rise to superstardom was a hit with the disaffected youth of the modern era as well, and soon the people in front of a production were being ignored for the tiny wunderkind making the sparks fly and the snowflakes fall.

Being that fame is little more than a curiosity to such an individual as the legendary Stardust, Luca decided to use her newfound wealth to take an impromptu vacation for a work study on more practical applications of making lightning bolts shoot out of her palm than THUNDERSTUCKing that shithead Robbie in the junk back in the slums. The world awaits further news with bated breath.

An eccentric celebrity to the end, Luca is a shining beacon of ignoring social norms (for instance, she is a special effects expert and not a wizard, which made the Alchemists' University of Etria grind their teeth so hard you don't even know.) She's known to walk off in the middle of conversations because she spotted something else interesting in the distance... like spiders. Spiders are fuckin' cool you don't even know. They don't take kindly to fire, though. (She learned that one firsthand.) She's also developed the ability to sleep basically anywhere based on her frequently messy-but-functional workspaces; "Stardust actually sleeps in a bed!" was a big hit headline once. Still, it's not as though she doesn't try. She doesn't dislike people or anything- actually, she thinks it's neat to hang out with people in large groups- it's just sometimes other people say words longer than they need to, you dig? No need for flowery prose when a "Cool." will suffice.

Like that giant tree.

It's neat.

Which is unfortunate, because any opportunity this thread has to fill it with more Cass is one that should be taken, as he is the best character in the game.

After an absence in EO3 due to the entire class roster being redone, Landsknechts showed up again in EO4--albeit completely reworked to be elemental damage dealers that rely on the rest of the party, but that's another story for another LP.

Think I'm only going to click on the fafnir transformation music once per update. I know it always plays when the fafnir transforms, but I guess this update consisting of multiple FOE fights where every party member went all out so of course he'll transform made the music wear thin on me.

(Fun semi-unrelated fact: the initial draft for this update included the "boss fight" just being a solo Ursa beating the poo poo out of the Gentle Toad on Picnic but I scrapped that because the in-game text didn't give me enough room to justify that. All the strikethroughs in the world wouldn't have helped.)

I don't think you need justification for something like that, frankly.

Heavenly Keep in the original EO2 looked eye-searingly ugly, which basically necessitated a complete redesign. I wouldn't really call it nice to look at like Petal Bridge was, but I still really dig the design of EO2U Heavenly Keep--especially the stained glass (you can kind of see some at the top of the image there), which was nigh-unseeable in EO2.

In the Stickleback Bar, a mysterious alchemist twiddles a chess piece between his fingers. "But of course!" He chuckles knowingly to himself. "It's only right that my impeccable design sense be properly appreciated."

"Shut the gently caress up, Bellamy." says a Hexer eating next to him.

Bellamy stops, rears up for a scream, and lets out a whimpering "okay" before returning to staring at his chess piece dejectedly.
