Welcome to the World of Zao! Rebirth into the flames of hell, as some would say.

Anyways... have fun with my single most traumatized OC! More Zao coming if this does well.

This is Astrid, the MC whose plot armor only exists sometimes. Yeah, she’ll probably shoot you in the nuts or something, but maybe there’s a softie under all the trauma and brooding (she will not admit it). It actually took me like a full week to write out the opening scene in the flashback, since I was constantly checking and trying to make it line up with how it would go in real life.

Now, for the “GRAND LORE”...

This is non-canon to Alakar. Actually, it’s half-canon. I didn’t want to map out ALL of Kosh, so it’s using Earth instead. Close enough... whatever.

This canon is in what I’ll call Timeline 1. This is... going to be exclusively WoZ, since all Alakar bots take place in timeline 2 or it doesn’t matter which timeline it’s in due to how far in the past it is. This is basically the darkest future Alakar has, a world where there was no hero to save the day. Because he left. Straight up. I’ll do him one day... eventually.

The timeline BS won’t matter much for now until I get more bots around Alakar put out. That’s gonna be fun, organizing the spaghetti lore.

More intros coming... if I can think of any. Feel free to put ideas or requests in the comments!
