Lost Prospects
So far in the story (having beaten each boss twice), nothing has said for certain what happens that causes Prospects to be lost to the Fold.
As such, I wondered if maybe they become "Lost" after dying too many times in combat. The ability to cheat death using essence surely isn't without some sort of cost, and I just have to wonder if maybe these people we are fighting have simply gone mad from being resurrected again and again and again.
Yet, what is truly strange to me is that each Lost Prospect is wearing attire unique to the region where they are found. As an example, you find Lost Prospects in the Essence Mines wearing essence miner capes and other gear. If these are actual prospects who have been corrupted, why aren't they all attired in different clothes? You know, like us, the players. It's almost as if they are delusional townspeople.
Why is it that many of these Prospects appear to be weeping, or attempting to silence voices in their heads, or trying to tear their masks off? Why are they obsessed with collecting as much essence as possible?
1. The Lost have some sort of social structure and carry out tasks. They dress according to their region and work.
2. They cannot die and will come back if killed.
3. They appear unhappy and miserable with a few exceptions.
4. They will not hesitate to fight Absolvers but refuse to fight other Lost even if blows are accidentally exchanged.
5. Not all Lost wear the Lost Prospect mask. Some wear regular Prospect masks.
It's a bit of a mystery to me. I like the mystery, it just begs to be solved.
