Obi "Seer" Edolasim (2024)

Obi Edolasim, also known by his alias Seer, is a playable Legend, introduced in the tenth season of the Apex Games.

Background[]

Ambush Artist[]

Before his birth, it was foretold that Seer would bring pain and suffering to the world—and the night he was born, a meteor barrelled across the sky and struck his world’s moon. It was considered a bad omen, and when the pale blue eyes of Obi Edolasim opened, his community saw a cursed child. His parents did not; they loved him unconditionally because they saw the true empathic, creative soul of their son. They even supported him when he was drawn to the theatricality of the Arenas, where he could express himself fully.

At first, the crowds felt unsure of him. But over time, with each victory, the power inside him grew, and with it, his strength in the Arena. And as his reputation began to precede him, a strange thing happened… The people in the crowd who were downtrodden, outcast, and forgotten—they saw themselves in Seer. Soon, throngs of people would come out just to see him fight—cheering Seer on as their champion. Now, this legend from the Arenas is making his way to the Apex Games and there isn’t a single soul who hasn’t already heard his name. The boy born under a bad omen and a terrible myth has taken this tale and created an even greater legend. He is Seer— an icon of the shunned, the unaccepted, and the unabashedly original.

Origins[]

In 2708, an asteroid struck Cleo, the moon of Boreas, decimating it. At this same moment, Obi Edolasim was born. The people of Boreas saw this, as well as his chilling blue eyes, as a bad omen, and branded Edolasim as a cursed child. He grew up in loneliness, but he was greatly loved by his parents, who unconditionally cared for his creativity and outlook. During his youth, Edolasim learned dance from his mother and technology from his father.

Early in his life, Edolasim’s parents withdrew him from his school after harassment from both the students and the administration, with treatment including the destruction of his science fair projects and claims that he “will kill them with his eyes.” Edolasim learned from this a greater lesson than was taught in that school - those who push you away, push you to greater heights.

On June 20, 2725, Edolasim stumbled across an Arenas match in a warehouse. Despite coming home bruised and beaten, he believed that he had found his true calling. He joined in the Arenas’ theatrics, writing in his diary that “where there is violence, there is beauty.” He initially hesitated to tell his parents about his newfound passion, though they unconditionally supported him as always.

Edolasim became a rising star in the Arenas, where he amassed a fanbase of those who saw themselves as outcasts. He gave his fans the message that their curses don't bring them down, but make them strong and unique; everyone must let themselves define their curse, not others. One of his most popular stages was the arena known as Encore, on his home planet of Boreas. Along the way, he fought with two of the Legends: Rampart and Octane.

In 2734, Seer was chosen as the next Legend to join the Apex Games. Before entering, he won his final Arenas match, with his parents passionately cheering him on.

During Edolasim's time in the Apex Games, many on Boreas grew dissatisfied with what little their most famous citizen was doing to help their planet. Polling showed that many of Boreas's citizens saw Edolasim as the cause of Cleo's destruction, with those respondents airing grievances that he simply "spouted inspirational phrases."

Season 13[]

Edolasim was invited to an interview on Outlands TV. Despite not wishing to put himself on a pedestal, he accepted the invitation. Edolasim was interviewed by Lisa Stone of Outlands TV, which was known for acting as a corporate puppet of Silva Pharmaceuticals. During the interview, Stone deviated from the agreed-upon questions, taking the chance to use the interview as an attempted character assassination against Edolasim and attempting to paint him as uncaring towards the fate of his home world. Upon realizing this, a disappointed Edolasim departed the interview.

Season 15[]

Reflections of the Moon[]

Edolasim returned from an Apex Games match with Octane and Catalyst, facing a protest against what the crowd perceived as his actions. While walking to retrieve their winnings from a Mercenary Syndicate office, Edolasim was attacked by the crowd, which pelted him with cans and debris. Catalyst quickly stepped in to shield him, stating that violence won't solve anything. Afterward, Edolasim attempted to speak with her, but she refused, placing the blame for her displacement from Cleo squarely on him despite his efforts to explain otherwise. Meanwhile, Edolasim continuously checked his phone for a message from his parents, which never came.

The Legends left the Syndicate facility through a rear door to avoid the crowds. Edolasim ventured to his home, with Octane following him and pestering him along the way. Upon returning to a quiet house, Edolasim and Octane were faced with a scene of bricks, broken glass, and blood, finding that his parents had been attacked. Upon further investigation, Edolasim found weeks' worth of hate messages directed towards his parents, blaming them for bringing him into the world and allowing the recent events to happen. However, Edolasim and Silva found no sign of his parents. Edolasim placed the blame for the attack on Eduardo Silva's shoulders and gave him the responsibility of recovering his parents.

After a call from Octane, a meeting was arranged, with Silva sending an eloquent limousine to pick up the two Legends. They met Silva at a memorial site on Cleo, where Edolasim immediately demanded for his parents to be found. Silva sent a Syndicate Corps soldier away to complete this task. This did not please Edolasim, however, and he lashed out at Silva, stating that his lies led to the attack. In response, Silva defended his actions, stating that the Apex Games brought much-needed media attention and resources to Cleo's cause, and that stabilizing Cleo would end Boreas's seismic events. Silva argued that a little chaos in Edolasim's personal life would be a worthy price for saving his homeworld.

After their argument ended, Edolasim was ushered into another limousine by Silva, who led him to a safehouse holding his parents. After discussing the ongoing protests, his parents questioned whether his actions were the correct course of action, stating that he tends to follow his grandest ideas first. Perceiving this criticism as a lack of support from his parents, Edolasim lashed out, causing his mother to cry. A despondent Edolasim then left.

Edolasim retreated to Encore, reminiscing about his fight against Gauge and pondering how his reputation has fallen since his disastrous interview. Surprisingly, he was greeted by Catalyst. Not wishing to start an argument, Edolasim moved to leave, but he was stopped by his fellow Legend, who wished to talk. During their conversation, he admitted to his actions being rash, though stated his belief that it helped in bringing attention and resources to Cleo's cause. This claim was rejected by Catalyst, who seemed to not care much about the planet that had rejected her.

Having agreed to disagree, the two found a new understanding of each other. They shook hands, with Edolasim stating his desire to do better, and Catalyst saying she will be there to see it.
