The most memorable hero backstory in League of Legends

Rui Wen, at that time, Rui Wen's lines made me feel very strange at the time, on the one hand, it was a war battle line

The same battle awaits me! Fight with an enemy like you, even if the sword is broken, I can hold the whole situation. A strong smell of death.

On the one hand, it's a bit like chagrin at the violence of yourself,

For the sake of those who have been lost, stop the violence with violence. Greater goodness. Hands are stained with sin. I've been wandering for so long

Until I saw the background story, a girl who grew up in a martial country, with her efforts to become a member of the national army, played for Noxus, became the captain, and carried the mission of the whole team, only to be abandoned by Noxus, watching the pain of the death of the whole team, and finally embarking on the road of redemption.

In Noxus, every inhabitant can rise to the top, regardless of race, male or female, noble or noble – strength is everything. Rui Wen once had a firm belief in this ideal and unremittingly pursued a great future. She was a budding soldier who was able to wield a sword about the weight of herself. She was once a ruthless and efficient warrior, but her true strength lies in her beliefs. She always threw herself into battle without hesitation: not hesitant by morality, not afraid of death.

Rui Wen gradually became a leading figure among her peers, a typical representative of the Spirit of Noxus. Her perseverance was so remarkable that the Noxus High Command Award gave her a black rune sword forged and enchanted from Noxus sorcery. The divine soldier was heavier than the Iris Shield and about as wide as the Iris Shield—just to her taste. Soon after, she was sent to Ionia and became a member of the invading army of Noxus.

War and destruction follow each other. The Noxus soldiers follow the terrible Zuan war machine across the human purgatory of dead bodies. This was a far cry from the glorious battles that Rui Wen had learned during her training. She completed various orders from various superiors, such as eliminating a defeated enemy remnant with extreme prejudice.

As the aggression continued, it became clear that Ionian society would not be able to reorganize, but would have to die. In a difficult engagement, Ruiwen's forces were surrounded by Iona's army. When the enemy surrounded them, they asked for support, but received a biochemical barrage fired by Singid. RuiWen looked around at the Ionanians and Noxus people, like victims defeated by an indescribable gloomy fate. She tried her best to escape the bombing, but there was no way to erase the memory.

Noxus thought she was dead, and she saw it as an opportunity to start over. She shattered her sword in order to show severance from the past, and in the name of self-exile, embarked on a wandering journey – simply to seek redemption and save the pure Noxus values she believed in.

"Even if you don't have a spine, you still have to stand up." - Zach

Before coming into contact with the League of Legends universe, I always thought Zach was the villain. After getting to know it, for me with a hero complex, I really look forward to it, whether it is the old version or the new version (compared to the old version of the backstory, the new version is more perfect, but more tragic).

----------------------------------

Background story before the update:

Zach is the product of Zuan's experiments to create zuan's amorphous fighter, a super soldier of the Hex Technology Department. The combination of brutal power and infinite flexibility has created such a multi-faceted madman: a creative battle that can bounce through obstacles and force opponents to obey. Although he was born inside the weapons lab, Zach was rescued and adopted by a pair of loving parents, raising him into a somewhat friendly child. Over time, he became a hero who stood tall and protected The Common People of Zuan.

A long time ago, two Zuan scientists invented an organic substance that can survive extreme conditions, adjust the physiological structure accordingly, and generate great power. The couple had been watching the substance grow from the size of a spoon to a mass of matter, and they noticed that the blob of matter sensed their presence. When they called his name, he began to stretch forward; When they sang, he would bounce. The couple saw more than anything outside of the experiment; They saw a small child, full of emotion and joy.

One night, after testing, the two scientists put the blob back in the box. As a result, it stayed listlessly in the corner trembling, very sad. It was then that the couple realized that the creation they liked wanted to get out of the lab and live a free life. Their subconscious makes it impossible for them to allow this substance to be used to make weapons. So the couple fled the newly built laboratory and changed the name of its weapon: from Zuan Ademorphous Fighter to a more appropriate name: Zach. In a quiet village far from the city of Zuan, the couple raised Zach as their own flesh and blood.

Compared to other children, Zachbu is different. No one was able to possess his immense power and flexibility, so the couple taught him how to discern right from wrong and how to use his talents correctly. Thanks to the love of this loving parent, Zach was able to have a peaceful and happy childhood.

Eventually, the lab finds Zach, and Zach's happy childhood ends. With no way to find an alternative to Lui for making non-shaped prototypes, lab staff has been looking for the couple of scientists and their experiments. They fled to the house, threatened Zach, and tore him to pieces. The men abducted Zach's parents and asked the couple to return to the lab to assist them. Fearful of losing his freedom and his parents, Zach does what he can to unleash his primordial energy. He defeated the men who had arrested his parents, allowed the lab men to flee, and then took his beloved parents back home. Since then, Zach has taken on a mission to defend all civilians from the threat of super-evil forces. In this way, he who was originally used to destroy him has now become the protector of the innocent and the helpless.

New Backstory:

A pool of leaking venom flowed down the cracks in the alchemical technology facility into Zu'an's ditch area, forming a puddle in an isolated crater deep down. Despite his humble origins, Zach has grown from a cloud of obscurantic slime into a thoughtful entity, perched in the pipes of the city, making occasional appearances to help the helpless or repair Zuan's various public facilities.

Zach was first spotted by a group of Zuan's children. They were playing with the water at the puddle in the ditch, but found that some stones had been thrown back. So this "return pool" spread among the residents of Zu'an Ditch, and finally attracted the attention of an alchemical technology cabal. The group of alchemists, despite the objections of the local population, drew the liquid from the pool and put it into barrels and brought it back to their laboratory.

The alchemists devised experiments testing the effects of negative and positive stimuli, and they found that there was a gelatinous mass of matter in the pool, which seemed to have some kind of spiritual tendency. Simply put, it mimics the type of stimulus it receives. If it is caring and friendly to him, it responds to the joy and frolic of a child, but if it inflicts pain and irritation on it, the alchemists have to sacrifice a large number of trench scavengers who have been enhanced by the prosthetic body to cope with the destructive reactions that follow.

Most alchemists agree that these reactions are merely neural reflexes, but two of them are not quite sure. They questioned the ethics of these experiments, as if the purpose of the experiments was entirely to create an incomparably offensive creature. The two conducted an in-depth investigation and found that the entire project was funded by Takeda Saito. He was a grumpy alchemical baron, and his bloody gang fights made him infamous. The clue points clearly that Takeda wants to develop a thug who is not afraid of death, with a deformable body, pervasive, and obedient. They also discovered the project's real name— the Zuan Amorphous Fighting Body, abbreviated as ZAC.

The two began to think about how to act, during which time they found that the sticky gum not only mimicked the irritant. They observed autonomous behavior when not receiving obvious stimuli—very similar to perceptual organisms. They referred to the creature as Zach and concluded that his behavior meant that he was a thinking, sentient entity. They reported their findings to the leader of the research team, but the leader, whose limbs were like a pole, completely ignored their concerns.

Unwilling to give up, the two began their own covert operations, trying to counteract the violent teachings given by the other team members. They want Zack to discern right from wrong, so they let him experience first-hand the acts of self-denial and generosity. Their efforts paid off, with Zach feeling sad when he saw the researcher hurt his hand, and uneasy when he saw another researcher kill a rat in the lab. Finally, the two of them couldn't stand the cruel experiments that other alchemists had performed on Zach.

That night, coinciding with Zuan's Evolution Day remembrance event, the lab was empty, and they took the opportunity to dump Zach into a wastewater tank cart and drag him to a remote corner of Zuan. Their actions were soon exposed, and then Baron Takeda's soldiers began searching. But Zuan was big enough to keep the two researchers out of the limelight. They had considered releasing Zach into the wild, but Zach didn't want to be released because he already considered the two researchers his family. Only the two of them were good to him, so he wanted to learn more from them. In fact, the two were extremely pleased with Zach's reaction, because they also liked Zach and even regarded him as their adopted son.

In order to avoid Takeda's men, they changed their identity and appearance and settled in the remote trench area, away from surveillance and spying. Zach learned to imitate their voices, and soon learned to deform his gumic mass into the organ needed to make sounds. He lived with his adoptive parents for many years, hiding in the pool of the ditch or in the cracks in the rock walls when necessary. Zach's "parents" told him about the world he lived in, telling him that there was a beautiful, magnificent side to the world. They showed him the rising of the moon at the Gate of the Sun, the beautiful rainbow on the stained glass canopy of the Zu'an Exchange, and the bustling and vibrant beauty of the city center. They also tell him that there is a cruel, harsh side to the world, and Zach begins to understand that sometimes people become vicious, ruthless, resentful, and prejudiced. Zach rejects this behavior and helps his parents as much as possible, using his skills to benefit the surrounding residents while trying not to attract unnecessary attention.

They did everything they could to heal the sick, repair machinery, and anything else alchemy could play a positive role in. Those years are Zach's fondest memories. He wandered around the city of Zuan, and the near-never-ending pipe network system and the cracks in the foundation rock were his exclusive passages. Although Zach has an independent sense of self, if the stimulation of the surrounding environment is too strong, his feelings may be submerged, temporarily absorbing the dominant emotions around him, with good or bad consequences. Many times he was unable to control his impulses, stepping in to help those who were oppressed and bullied against bullying street bullies, so Zuan gradually began to spread rumors about him. While most of the rumors are about his helpfulness, others blame Zach for some devastating accidents, such as the destruction of a factory or the tearing of a large hole in a trench neighborhood.

In the end, these rumors finally reached the ears of Takeda Saito, who sent a group of righteous villains to reclaim what he thought belonged to him. Because his alchemists have also been trying to replicate the process of Zach's birth with the liquid left in the container, but it has always been in vain. So Baron Takeda was desperate to retrieve the creature, so his men surrounded Zach's parents' home and launched an attack. The two rebelled, after all, they were alchemical science and technology researchers, how could they not have some secret weapons for self-defense, but their resistance could not last forever. In the end, the mob killed Baron Takeda's order to be captured alive.

At that time, Zach was exploring the crevices in the rocks under Zu'an City, but suddenly felt the danger of his parents, so he rushed home along the pipe network to rescue. But it was too late. He was furious at the sight of his parents' corpses, and the Baron's men had never seen the formation before. Zack unleashed a fierce attack, using a variety of stretching, charging and heavy pressure combat techniques. In a fit of grief, he destroyed dozens of houses around him, and by the end of the fighting, none of the righteous mob remained.

As the mood of the battle fades from Zach's mind, he sees the many families he has destroyed and vows to continue to persevere in his parents' good deeds. He helped rebuild his destroyed house, and when the repair work was over, he immediately disappeared into Zuan's vast network of pipes.

Now Zach lives alone, perched in pipes and caves scattered throughout the city of Zuan, bathed in the emotions of the city's inhabitants. Sometimes he feels colorful, but sometimes he feels sad because he absorbs the good and the bad of the city at the same time. He gradually became an urban legend of the Zuan people, a mysterious creature that would occasionally drill out of rock crevices or pipes. Most of the time his presence is to help those who are helpless, but when trouble arises, when mood in the city becomes dark and bitter, his presence may chill some people.
