The Harbinger: Origins

Noun

harbinger (plural harbingers)
  1. A person or thing that foreshadows or foretells the coming of someone or something.


I know my not so new blog is a bit hastily done but it's for the sake of having an appropriate place for my thoughts, views and random things being picked up around me or around the net.

Basically this is my old blog moved into a new home, likely more general than my previous one since it's for a specific MMO which is Granado Espada. Now why "Harbinger"?

It all started on my Prometheus days, back when I participated with the development of such server emulator for Ragnarok Online private servers. The head developer's forum name was "The Harbinger". Then after going on a hiatus, I eventualy broke off with the Prometheus Project and then moved to Vidar, but lacking programming skills, I only can contribute in bug discovery and suggestions.

Next is if you've been playing Dota, you'd probably recognize him/it
Hurr Durr
Yes, he/it is "Harbinger - The Obsidian Destroyer"

An obsidian construct brought to life through the ill conceived necromancy of the Lich King, Harbinger craves magic to make up for the emptiness brought on by the incomplete nature of its summoning. Ironically however, to devour the magic that it so desires, Harbinger must tap into his own pool of mana time and time again, expending to the point where it ends up with even less than it began with. Yet despite this, the Obsidian Destroyer is a proud servant of the Undead Scourge, and takes great pleasure in annihilating the foolish Sentinels it encounters through psionic exploitation.

It's not that he/it is my favorite hero in Dota, (I can't play him/it well) it's that of his/its concept.

The Obsidian Destroyer unleashes his full potential; his mind unleashes a psionic storm able to penetrate lesser minds with terminal force, dealing massive damage to them. More crafty minds are able to resist most of the damage, but they expend most of their energies to do so

 My name sign is actually Palukz but of course another persona won't hurt I suppose, well I wouldn't be using the overused names (and putting numbers after it e.g. imbauser69) so I came up with "Harbinger" along with its origins to back it up.

And so begins... Harbinger's Journey.
