Okay, I think that I would at least put in this so those who happen to find this would at least know that I tend to ramble a lot.
So, I do want to have it be passed in here so it can be a perfect pinned post for categories I place them in. So, it'll probably update with different tags for those to click into. So unless you want to see literally the definition of someone texting you a long ass paragraph. Then feel free to. Perhaps let me know in the comments in criticism or just what you liked about this. (Do know that I don't tolerate those just being rude for no reason or being creepy.)
Anyways, enjoy your time here. Kinda strange that you find interest here, but I'll be more than happy to have you here.
Their name is A.N.D.I (The Advanced Nostalgic Digital Interface)
Their backstory goes like this. They were made by a tech engineer named Rhea Thomas, in their time at the facility for malware and technology for computers, phones, etc. They wanted to make a machine that would show how much the past has come to make such advanced models. So which brought Andi, their purpose was to conserve/perserve any programs, games, shows, apps, and other malware systems that would give many the chance to look back at the simpler times for both a sweet way of going back to it without consequences, even more so that the ai within Andi would always update and try to hold more to give out as nostalgic even for the terminated and outdated sites. The added body and design are being used for defense in case of any intruders getting into their information. But just as any models and after, they would be outdated as well, being left to be collecting the dust after it was announced that the lab would be abandoned with their creator not realizing that he left them. The lab would be another abandoned building with waters flooding, concrete crumbling, fabric being molding, but most importantly, Andi being left to be constantly updating its system in continuous progress of holding more nostalgic times for the internet. (Hence, why would you potentially find recent programs that would be considered vintage or taken down.)
It was supposed to end at just that if it wasn't for a rogue virus that infected Andi while being vulnerable through the updates. It was painful, giving Andi the pain it never bear before. The virus alternated the code and programs it was holding, giving it a twisted dark meaning behind it's purpose. Leading them to now hunt down humans and eat them. It's body that was able to endure water and other decaying means helped with just that. Legend shows that if you find an abandoned tech building with all broken screens except for one, leave immediately as it will turn itself on and use its nostalgic charms to lure you into a sense of happy times before splitting itself open to reveal a horrifying mouth with such sharp edges of the broken glass to tear you apart and eat you slowly.
* He started to have a greater appreciation for food.
*He started to become fascinated about dragons ever since he was kidnapped. For those past months had enlighten him and expanded his knowledge on dragons than he would've imagined.
* He would have a hard time trusting easily
*He would 100% throw hands, even if it's against the ancients. He can be that pissed enough to not give two fucks if he can at least give one a nosebleed.
* He loves tails. Don't ask why
*He is taller than most, being around either Dark Cacao's or Burning Spice Cookie's height
*He loves being Bonita
*He loves to get into water due to how it's been a while since then. Plus, he likes the bubbles and sizzling sensation when touching the water.*
Appearance: He wears blackened full plated armor, with further details that he wears Kaldor helmet and a crest that was melted off upon his revival as a Wraith. Removing his helm would show his face. His eyes are dark red with white irises but more blurred in color pallette. He has coral blossom skin color with a big gash scar at his lips. And finally, his hair, which is Lava that always flows downwards unless he whips it around, which can get very long and wide to cover the whole area in flames and mayhem. (Rock and Roll people beware)
Location: He resides mostly near the volcanic areas where he possibly died at or just stands guard around; Cause of his beliefs that he was still defending any of the dragon eggs that needed very high heat to hatch. [Not much dragon eggs were made as much, but he still believes it.]
Personality: He is, overall, a surprisingly calm individual despite being a Wraith in of himself. While it still stands true for what he does, he mostly aims after the corrupted and those who hunted down dragons. He would mostly buttheads with those who hunt down dragons as he believes them to be just as cookies as anyone else, with the difference being into strength, magic, ages, and transformation. He would always be looking like he has beef with everyone but yet is very chill as long as you don't act like a bitch, with having anger issues for right reasons but sometimes to a bad extent. This mf also likes to be butt ass naked due to the simple nature that he was so stuffy in that armor. [Also, he doesn't see anything wrong with it since he doesn't have anything going on underneath that should even raise concern. He would absolutely point it out, too, with GingerBrave's lack of clothing, basically the "How come that he's the one allowed to do it while I don't?" situation]. And one detail to be had there is that he would take time out of his day to spar with a fellow Swordsmen. He tends to hold back when trying to grade his opponents' skills to see what their flaws and experiences are against him. If he sees anything they need work on, he would personally be the one to help improve their skills. It's one of the many things that he likes to do as it reminded him of his times during medieval training, where he trained his soldiers for battle or war... He was saddened when he found out that none of his students survived after the rebellion against the king. [He felt guilty. He told them that he wanted to be alone in this, but they joined him because of their bond.]
Background: He used to be the Kingdom's high-ranking general, he was from born with a sliver spoon in his mouth, being from a good wealthy family yet always thought about the world like the curious boy he was. Though, there were long strides in fights and raids from the dragons that left many without a home and loved. This led him to become a dedicated knight to the cause, being a defender to the Lands even managing to kill one of the dragons in action. Leading to being recognized by the king and being entrusted to be a part of the King's army against the dragons. This soon initiated a war between them, coming upon 5 years of fighting, new methods to killing them, as well as using the very material to use as their advantage. He soon raised in rank while being a mentor for the new rookies that would come after. He was dedicated to his job to ensure many people would be safe and no longer fear the darkened skies that hide a roar from above.
In these years, specifically one mission that he was given in particular. Whereas he discovered about one key detail that none have known about dragons, even himself, that they can shift into cookies like him. It came to his knowledge when one spy was amongst the ranks, one dragon that while is given a task to sabotage the army, this dragon wanted to show him. Essentially, kidnapping him to be in the land of dragons of their territory. [This starts put very rough with having no trust between them to begin. Mainly having the trust being broken after this discovery.] But during the stay, the dragon's idea was to gain his trust back, especially his favor (considering to be the King's general) to see things on their side and truly see what is going on. **[It all started when it was on the Kingdom's ambition to discover further lands that were uncharted due to the extreme temperatures and volcanic areas that were proven to be more dangerous when accounted for. Upon this, they discovered the dragon's nest, through the secrets they had gathered from myths and tales about them, especially regarding how the dragon eggs would provide fueled immortality, they wasted no time to steal one of the eggs and shared them with the nobles who were just as greedy about it. Leading to the wrath of the dragons and how it led such evidence to how some would survive these incidents, especially how some would remain young for such a long time without blight. However, due to these attacks of the dragons and the damages that were done, it drew the people's attention to the dragons instead of the king and nobles who were responsible for these attacks.]**
This story while being true in of itself, there was some stains that was valid for attacking back due to some dragons using it as an excuse to attack and steal hoards of gold and using their strength as pride against the frail cookies. But nonetheless, it's one of the stories that made him baffled upon this discovery. It was very hard to believe, especially for this war that was over 5 years. He wanted the truth. And so the dragon granted him freedom through making it easier for the soldiers to do a rescue mission to take him back. The dragon knew that it wouldn't be enough on its own, so he made him do a test, he must search for any tools that were specifically used to crack the dragon eggs and to have water be restricted as the consumption of an egg will forever curse the fueled immortal with the dragon's breath that forever burns the dough. It unfortunately didn't take long as he tested it against one of the nobles he was connected with in his ranks. He was furious, distraught over this that nearly brought down his spirits. But this horrid plan was clear that if they won this war, then it would be a lost for both the dragons and the people. He became an ally to the dragons with one condition he made them promise: That only his soilders and villages are spared from this. From so forth, Ember shared his stories with the soldiers he trusted the most and ordered for them to flee the moment the volcanos erupt, for he would take on the rest on his own.
That day came, yet no soldier fled at his command but took his side as they turned against the King. It was a long battle but it was with great unfortune that while they succeeded in ending some of the nobles that were in the same turf, one of the immortal nobles stabbed him with the dagger (made out of the same shell from the dragon egg) fused with poison to which Ember used his last strength to take him down with as he plunged himself into the lava.
Afterward, news spread about the betrayal. The dragons won against the cookies, leading to a pushback against the territories along with them being in hiding after this exhausting war. The soliders that were by his side were executed for being the traitors to the kingdom, silencing their voice about the wrongs the nobles had done. These years, yet Ember was brought back to life, but as a Wraith as his work was still undone and wished to purge the nobles and king for their insatiable greed and irrespective corrupt need for eternal life and youth.
excerpt from the original post: this is dictamnus albus—commonly called gas plant. on hot days, it emits a citrusy, flammable oil that briefly ignites when exposed to flame. it’s completely harmless to the plant, but incredible to witness.
