Firefly / Sam Drip Marketing & Official Reveal
“Fireflies are such magical creatures, aren’t they? They may throw themselves at a flame or suddenly grow old, but every night before that, they will shine brighter than the stars.”
A member of the Stellaron Hunters and a young girl clad in a mechanical armor “SAM.”
Born as a weapon, she’s afflicted with the agony of Entropy Loss Syndrome due to genetic modification.
She joined the Stellaron Hunters in search of the meaning of life, relentlessly pursuing ways to defy fate.
Mentions of “Sam” have been in the game since its release, but we only got to see him in action in Penacony. Firefly was initially thought of as a completely separate character when she was introduced in Version 1.6 along with Penacony.
