Lore[]

Once a brilliant scientist, Sage began to perceive that alien forces were at work on his world. Training his most sensitive detectors across the Electromagnetic spectrum, he eventually discerned the presence of a powerful intelligence he named Entity 13.

Eventually Sage used Ultraviolet Wave Transmission (UWT) to communicate directly with this being, who was in reality the Crogenitor Astra. He gleaned that while Entity 13 posed no threat to the safety of Verdanth, another onrushing force did: the hordes of the Darkspore.

Unable to stop the Darkspore invasion, Sage witnessed the destruction of his once-green world. He turned his vast intellect--and everything he learned from Entity 13--to the defense of his people. He repurposed reforestation technology as a weapon for planetary liberation.

Sage's greatest weapons were his devastating power to spawn mobile and ultra-strong trees, and other entities called dendrones as his protection force. Sage used his metabolic disruptor to slow and damage his targets, while his Rejuvenating Blast to heal his allies.

Sage swore that one day, his world would be free again, so he could put down the weapons of war and once again pick up the tools of science.

Trivia[]

  • Floron, the immortal(sage)

    Early Concept

    In the original artwork of Sage, he had a round green light coming from the side of the metallic implant on his right arm. In the newer concepts of him, he had a disk of yellow light instead.
  • If one looks closely at Sage when he is being compared to his concept and his in-game appearance at Comic-con 2010 , one can easily see that his arm-gun has switched sides.
  • An early concept of Lumin showed him with Sage's head.
  • Sage's Cashout Weapon, the Regenerating Blaster, is exactly the same as Meditron's Loot Weapon, the Proton Beam.
  • Sage's Dendrones are somehow similar to Chlorosaurs in the Simulator Mode...
  • ..which in turn bears strong resemblance to Scorpiods.
  • However, the Chlorosaurs has Sage's head.
  • Meditron used to have Sage's Weapon.
  • In early concepts of Darkspore, Sage used to be known as Floron, the Immortal. The name didn't make it to the final game, but the title is now held by a Bio Captain, namely Xanj, the Immortal from Invasion difficulty.
  • Sage's Dendrone pets look similar to Char's Elemental Guardian.
