This works well when the destroyer is purely apathetic and turns the human into the true villain.
!Now, you could theoretically have a unity vs. division story where the division is caused by an outside force like the Ruin pulling strings, with the aesop that division makes us vulnerable to outsiders. In Esther's diary you get after completing the library boss fight, it confrims Asra is a she. That isn't to say that everybody needs to perform 100% logically, but when an entire character is predicated on a series of decisions and virtues that inherently do not make any sense, that isn't a character, it's a walking talking plot point used to ensure the player character keeps walking toward the boss to hit it with their sharp sticks.Characters are interesting if they want to win.
And Chucklefish handled that exactly in the way they should've - by retconing the hell out of it.Lest you think you're being unfairly persecuted, I downvoted you for one reason and one reason only:this entire thread is, in my honest opinion, full of shit.As for a reply, I didn't really have anything to say that Suppose we kept the "ha ha, hylotl are fishy butt monkeys, it's funny to watch them get hurt" stuff.
Orphaned as a child by a band of alien brigands, she was Esther Bright's personal protegé before her hatred of non-humans led her to part ways with Bright and become the leader of the Occasus cult. Asra herself will not fight directly in the battle of Asra teleports to one side of the room then slash-dashes to the other side, damaging players who got caught up in her passing. Phase 1: This phase consists of the two alternating parts.
Make sure to bring a good dash tech to avoid her when she herself turns into a sphere. But as she rationalizes, "better an army of morons than no army at all." After using this item you gain a 10% Damage Mitigation Buff for 2s. Not much more I can add that hasn't already been said, she should have been the human guarding the keystone or what have you with the whole cult being human supremacist extremists in some USCM base or something.Ruin doesn't have to be responsible, humans are evil by nature, misinformation / ideology etc.Another reddit user brought this point up as well so I'll address it twice but in my opinion these ideas you are both talking about are born from revanchism, which means that in theory there is nothing wrong with writing a character that wants to wipe out all other races as an act of revenge for something done to their race or even just to them, but then you do the math.Earth blown up by Ruin, Nox is off earth / survives / escapesAt some point aliens attack her ship and crew, killing everyone but her"I will now start a massive cult dedicated to human supremacy and use it to find the Ruin Humans will believe anything these days, it's not a stretch to think one would do what Nox did in the future.Why would she even want to?

That's why satire has protected status under the law.You don't have to agree with or support evil people to recognize that they are still people. Yup, makes sense to me.As tired, generic, pointless, and cliche as the mindless universe destroyer versus benevolent creator god story arc is, there is not a lack of potential for a human element here.There is room for the human who is afflicted by hubris and believes they will be able to control the destroyer. Ideally the player should have a weapon with high DPS (damage per second) to take advantage of the short window of opportunity presented; melee weapons with secondary attacks like "Blade Whirl" or "Flurry" are highly effective, and explosives-hurlers like A strategy to easily win against Asra is to use the spike distortion sphere and cling to the roof during most of the attack cycle, and sit in the passenger seat of a hoverbike during Asra's distortion sphere attack, as Asra cannot damage a hoverbike. Note: she won't do this attack in her first cycle. And the army of the Occasus is hundreds, if not thousands strong, and nothing if not driven. Because there's no clear line of reasoning (flawed or otherwise) between "aliens killed my parents" and "RELEASE THE KRAKEN," it doesn't stand up. Similarly, the Ruin supposedly cannot abide any life save itself.In the opposite corner, you have the player, recent graduate from the multi-species Protectorate, traveling the galaxy collecting allies from all peoples to confront a danger that affects them all.Starbound's story is about facing the things that divide us and overcoming them. You can build amazing stories around it.
It can be found at the end of the Cultist Mission. "Kill everyone including myself" isn't a reasonable win condition because anybody who has seen that "character" more than once is just rolling their eyes and telling them to get on with it and off themselves already to save us the trouble of doing it. And the army of the Occasus is hundreds, if not thousands strong, and nothing if not driven. Asra Nox doesn't matter.
