Zimber
Guardian of Life
I'll likely be working on and editing this post for months, as I compile a few years' worth of work here and try and get it all down in print rather than much of the lore being just in my head.
The information compiled here is a record of the entire canon surrounding my character
World:
The Multiverse
Character:
Zimber
Registry:
Classic!Zim
Gender:
Male
Physical Characteristics:
He is an anthropomorphic cat man covered in thick white fur, with cat ears and a tail, paw pads, sharp triangular teeth, retractable claws, and a scar over his right eye
His eye color is a flinty grey, though during extraordinary circumstances they can change color
He wears a black travel cloak, though occasionally one can spot burns and tears at the fringe
He has two stonemetal bands embedded in his wrists and welded to his bones. They give him access to the Archive, and a few other remnants of his homeland, and are well-nigh indestructible. His height is 6'2, and he weighs 170 pounds.
The Archive: A repository of the collected knowledge of his people and one of the last remnants of his homeland, the Archive sits mostly buried beneath the shifting black sand that covers the surface of the ruins of the Citadel, capital city of his former home planet, Aethergrym, as well as the rest of the planet. The Archive is chock full of books, data, magical and technological wonders, weapons, and oddities, and a few highly secure vaults as well. The interior is home to mighty works of glass, stone, gold, and other high-quality materials. They are all that's left, but with them, one can only imagine what the Citadel looked like in its prime.
The Citadel:
Above this sentence is accurate and up to date, below it is neither.
Additional notes:
Classic is the original Zimber, until he is refracted by the Moment he is the only one in existence. As such, all other Zimbers are at least partially based on him.
Classic is heavily affected by catnip and will occasionally roll a joint with it. Laser pointers are very visually distracting to him and he's fond of milk.
Personality:
Originally, he was a kind and compassionate soul, but his part in the events that sundered his planet and his universe darkened his view of the world
Abilities:
Zimber's species had a peculiar bloodline trait (Currently unnamed, still looking for a good one) that for lack of a better comparison... Imagine the abilities of Bill Cipher if you nerfed him to have to learn any change he makes like an ATLA bending discipline. Even beyond the obvious skill requirement, it has heavy drawbacks upon Classic, draining his stamina and slowly turning his body to stone. While he is partially stone, he cannot move whatever part has been petrified, of course. It wears off slowly over time with rest. If he fully becomes a statue, it requires some kind of monumental outside help to unfreeze him. In essence, reality bending.
On top of this, due to his training he is skilled with hand to hand combat and essentially any weapon found in human society.
Background:
Zimber's home planet, Aethergrym, was the hub of a massive empire that had nearly conquered his original universe. The capital city of Aethergrym was known as the Citadel, and it was encased in a large glass dome, also called the Bubble, that shone liquidly beneath the twin sunrise.
The top of the chain of command at the Citadel was a group known only to the public as the Council of Nine. The decisions this group made were often inscrutable, but their word was law, as they were the direct cause of Aethergrym's empire. One day, a rebel anarchist group styling themselves as Gloomfury suddenly gained massive power and influence not seen before in a terrorist cell. This of course became a huge problem because it turned into a civil war in the empire, Council supporters vs Gloomfury.
The war:
The war between Aethergrym and Gloomfury was the largest that universe had ever seen, with the use of interstellar weaponry on a mass destruction scale very common. One such weapon was known as the star laser, which in essence was the concentrated power of one percent of a star's energy gathered by a Dyson swarm, and accelerated to relativistic speeds. Being made of photons, it could not be directly observed, but one could see its exact path due to reflections off nearby planets, space dust, and other heavenly bodies, essentially looking like a green laser across the sky, outshining a viewing noncombatant planet's local sun. It could easily tear through nearly anything in its path, being used as a planet buster on both sides. In the end, technology became almost obsolete as the war became one of attrition.
The war only ended due to the influence of two projects launched by the opposing sides. Project Nightfall was the name given for Gloomfury's last resort, and rather poetically, Aethergrym called its final gambit Project Daybreak.
The goal of Project Nightfall was to create a machine (Codenamed Oblivion, fittingly) that would end the war, and the universe itself, as a deterrent and a trump card/threat to win by assured destruction. The oblivion machine was a megastructure the size of the average planet that consisted of vast loops made of dwarf star material, the densest thing that isn't a black hole, all feeding into and from the center, where a living host would be used for their bloodline trait to involuntarily power the device. The loops would feed this energy back into the center where it would build until reality itself would shatter, tearing the universe into quantum nothingness. The unwilling host's body would be burned up like an overheated flashbulb, leaving only a charred, empty husk.
On the other side of the coin was Project Daybreak, whose only goal was to stop the construction of such a machine at any cost, as well as protect as much as could be protected should it come to pass.
As such, it took multiple approaches, few of which were apparent until afterwards.
One such approach was the mission to take out the machine itself, which Zimber was trained for at undisclosed locations even he wasn't allowed to know the coordinates of.
