MASS-Info: "The Man known as Heathcliff Flowen"

"The Man known as Heathcliff Flowen"

This Topic is going to be aimed at the person we all know and love as part of the Phantasy Star Online Storyline 'Heathcliff Flowen' which you can obtain a hint to his real name from the 'RED Weapons' you find on the game which spell out "heathcliff" if you put them all together (I will list them below). So I decided to give you guys of ULTIMA some more entertainment and put together this next Video which is much longer then the last one it's like a mini movie of Flowen but anyway I will upload that below also, so be sure to watch it guys and tell me what you think.

"heathcliff"

1. Red Saber: "he"
2. Red Sword: "a"
3. Red Dagger: "t"
4. Red Partisan: "h"
5. Red Slicer: "cl"
6. Red Handgun: "i"
7. Red Mechgun: "ff"

Furthermore 'Flowen' is my personal favorite character in the whole of PSO, and I would love to know who is your favorite Character from the PSO-Storyline. I mean most of you guys have seen my HUmar MASSFLOW now which uses the '/npc 6' skin to turn into Heathcliff Flowen which is my favorite <3 and he's a Whitill as well so this makes it legit haha. Anyway enough of me going on about Flowen for now and enjoy my Video, here you have it:

According to PSO-Wiki:

Heathcliff Flowen is the commander and chief of the army of Pioneer I, and is the main focus of the Episode II storyline, which is to confirm whether he is dead or alive. He is a renowned master of swordplay, even teaching his ways to pupil Rico Tyrell. He wields his Sword, a version that has had many copies which are known as Flowen's Sword, and a Shot type weapon, as both of which are mutated into Olga Flow's arms later on and these mutated weapons can be used by players, though the means to acquire them is not currently accessible.

Copies of Flowen's equipment can also be found and equipped, namely copies of his sword, his Shield and his Frame. These can all be combined to achieve stat bonuses.

Heathcliff is first introduced in Episode II, creating a log of voice messages similar to Rico's. It is later revealed that the messages sent to the government were not actually previously recorded--but were sent in real time. He is the first (alongside Rico) to discover what Dark Falz is (which he refers to is as 'IT' in his logs) and he is heavily wounded by one of its spawns. This is no normal wound, however, as he contracts D-Cells (the base of many monsters) and the "Parasitic Gene Flow". The wound slowly grows and consumes his body whole, essentially acting as a leech. Believing himself to be dying, he admits his body to the scientists of Gal da Val island for research purposes, on the condition that two of his requests would be met. The first, being that Pioneer 2's migration to Ragol be postponed, and the second, to send a letter to his family and friends informing them of his death. These requests are not honored, and this sparks the incidents in Episode 1, namely Pioneer 2 witnessing the explosion on Ragol's surface.

Using samples from the wound, the scientists primarily sought to recreate the biological life forms that Dark Falz had created when he began to possess the wildlife on Ragol. Moreso they wished to control the specimens (later named Bioweapons) for their own selfish uses. Feeling betrayed by the government, Heathcliff begins to regret donating his body and realizes that neither of his requests were honored. This would mean that the Pioneer 2 colony would land upon Ragol with no idea how bad the situation actually was.

The scientists had one goal for Heathcliff's body; use it as a core for a D-Cell life form. They decide upon using the AI 'Olga' which was aboard Pioneer 1 supercomputer along with 'Calus'. They merge 'Olga' with Flowen's body, and allow it to be consumed by his wound entirely in hopes that it would allow them to control the life by means of using the AI. However, this goes horribly wrong as both Heathcliff and Olga are entirely taken over by the wound itself. The result becomes Olga Flow, the final boss encountered in Episode II. The name is most probably derived from the name of the "Olga" AI and "Flow" as a contraction of Flowen, which was the name also used to designate the particular infection that the military master suffered from.

Realizing that the experiment was a failure of exceptional proportions, the science team dispose of Olga Flow in the Lower Seabed Levels, an area appropriately named the "Test Subject Disposal Site", where the core of the AI 'Olga' once resided before it was recovered for the experiment. As Heathcliff says in his final log moments before his apparent death at the hands of his mutation, "I am powerless, yet I have everything. In this dark abyss, I wait for the savior of the red captive child. My destruction at the bottom of the deep abyss. I wait. Heathcliff Flowen."

However much about Heathcliff Flowen's existence inside of Olga Flow is still unknown, but the fact that the beast can switch forms from Flowen and that there seems to be some sort of intelligence behind the monster suggests that some sort of spirit is within it. This is confirmed in Episode 3 where the spirits of Flowen and Rico come to a compromise.

NIIICCE VIDEO, was so close of cry when flowen disapear . Really nice video!

[Sylph777]

Nice vid bro ( that song for olga 2 is weird xD, what is it ? )

[Cyane]

I think Rupika was the reason why I found PSO and started playing, she's full of mystery and looks awesome, I love fonewearl/fonewm mostly because of her.

"Rupika is a Neo-Newman, the basis for "The Emotional AI's Weapon". The weapon was designed to strike at orbital targets, hence the name "Heaven Striker"."

[MASSBLADE]

Wow! such great feedback =O I love you guys really, thanks for watching and without this positivity there's no way I would have the confidence to make more of these vids, so thank you guys really =]

Nice vid bro ( that song for olga 2 is weird xD, what is it ? )

Oh and Sylph it was 'Three Days Grace: Get Out Alive (Nightcore Remix)'

[Angeldust]

I think its good for players to learn a little of the story and actually understand whats going on everytime they run a TTF or a RT.

I thought only the last message (or maybe all the seabed messages) were real time, to feed into the mystery of whether he was still alive or dead, and then when you hear the last message it instills some urgency since there may still be time to find him alive and save him.

Your son Endu says hi

Endu - The Final Battle for PSO Epiosde 3

Endu: This is it.
We've finally made it.

Mysterious Female Voice:
Yes... this is it.

Mysterious Male Voice:
Yeah... I can feel it...

Endu: Yes.

Mysterious Male Voice:
We had...
We had... no other choice.
I could feel Dark Falz
growing stronger by the day.
After each time it was
defeated, it used the
resulting reaction to
secretly absorb and store
more power within itself.
My mind was barely awake,
but in the depths
of my inner consciousness,
I was able to clearly sense
that Dark Falz would
eventually cause a
massive explosion
that would annihilate all of
Ragol and Pioneer 2.
And I realized that it was
already too late to stop it.
Rico became aware of the
danger around the same
time I did.
It all happened in an instant.
Without knowing, parts of
Rico's mind and my mind
synchronized.
This mental resonation
amplified our wave forms
which infused more power
into Dark Falz's body and my own.
Our two bodies swelled
with energy, beyond what
either of us could contain,
so our mental energy burst
forth, causing a massive
explosion from within,
and the resulting energy
of each side cancelled
each other out.

Mysterious Female Voice:
Yes...
It was the only way...
With that explosion,
Dark Falz and everything
connected to it...
were all destroyed...

Mysterious Male Voice:
Yes, the shockwave from
that instant should have
erased everything
containing DF cells...

Endu: ...But something
remained, right?

Mysterious Female Voice:
Yes. Instantly, two things
unimaginable were born.
One of them was the
"Great Shadow," left
behind by Dark Falz,
which produces the spore
known as the "Germ."
The Germ presumably
exists for the purpose of
giving rise to the next
Dark Falz.
Infecting those seduced by
its power, it searches for
a new location to live,
and after a great many
years, it arises once again...
And the other thing was...

Endu: Me.

Mysterious Female Voice:
Yes. you.

Mysterious Male Voice:
Just as light and darkness
are opposites,
every element in the
universe has an opposite.
If the Great Shadow's
purpose is to give birth to
the next Dark Falz,
then it is likely that you
were born to counter that...

Endu: I see.
So we're like brothers...
in a way...

Mysterious Female Voice:
I'm sorry Flowen and I
dragged you into this.

Mysterious Male Voice:
I'll lend you my strength
for this battle.
After all, this whole thing
is Rico's and my
responsibility as well.

Endu: ...
Ah...
Thank you for watching
over me all this time.
If it weren't for the two
of you, I would have
never made it here.
So don't worry.
It's not your responsibility,
and if I was indeed born
for this purpose,
then only I can stop it.

Mysterious Male Voice:
...I see.
In that case, we shall
leave it up to you.

Mysterious Female Voice:
You've grown to be so

strong... I'm... proud.

Endu: Thank you for everything.

Mysterious Female Voice:
Good luck.

Endu: Well... I'm off.
Farewell.

Lav I love your Stories +1 bro this gives me another interesting idea to set up for Red Ring Rico's version but i'm not sure how to lay it out tbh might take me some time. I give praise to xenomaren AKA Angel for giving me the idea that I should make a Red Ring Rico version
