Honor to a Video Game Hobo
I know I’m yelling into the void with this one but I would absolutely love if in Gameoverse The Baz shows up if only for a reference.
For anyone who doesn’t know this is The Baz. He’s a Video Game character with no game of his own and many Indie Games usually insert him into their games as a joke
One is from a classic game called Divekick but more of you probably recognize him from Shovel Knight. His Meta backstory is that he was rejected from being in a potential Street Fighter game and so he decided to travel the gaming universe to find a world he can belong in. This is legitimately what happened by the way. He was a rejected character design and some guys from a classic Gaming Channel Super Best Friends discovered him, liked him and so adopted him. They started requesting him to be in games they kickstarted and eventually they didn’t even need to kickstart him into games because devs started doing it themselves.
His name was Zubaz on account of that being on his shirt but due to legal problems people shortened it to The Baz. He fights with a wipe and calls upon lightning for his attacks. He would have aura if he wasn’t a pathetic loser. His story mode in Divekick ends with him being kicked out of the game because he keeps cheating. The point of the game is to Divekick but when he does it lightning trails behind him and thats what gets people. He just runs off crying as the story ends.
This is a common theme with him. He plays at being this big tough and scary guy but the moment he fails, yet again, the lightning summoning aura farming beast of a man runs away with tears in his eyes because he failed yet again. He’s lovingly called the Video Game Hobo because he has no home and travels from place to place trying to find somewhere to live.
He’s the perfect, pathetic person to put into a game. With Gameoverse being about traveling to different game worlds I want The Baz to show up at least once as just a pathetic drifter trying to fit in.
