Final

Final is one of the last humans to exist in the world of the Afterglow SMP. Seeing as he has no outstanding powers, abilities, or any real "special characteristics", he believes himself to be human. He has lived through the events of countless worlds, where he seemingly cannot forget what he's seen/known and has been unable to be reborn into a new life or even "die". To count, Final has lived through at least 6 mentioned worlds (ImmortalSMP, Empire Horizons SMP, New Horizons SMP, EtherealSMP, and "The Other Attempts"), possibly more. Because of this, he is often treated as old, crazy, and reclusive.
Final avidly studies science in many forms, specifically physics, elementalism, some basic chemistry, some alchemy, and astronomy. While he has dabbled in other sciences, he has mastered physics above all else. He is often seen as abrasive, antisocial, or difficult to communicate with. However, he is indeed a genius as proven by his lab during the events of ImmortalSMP, where it was discovered he had pioneered several powerful gadgets, including two sets of makeshift wings, a bracelet of force, and a clone controller. 
Final was also the owner of the Black Salmon Sugarcane Outpost, where he conducted his personal life and research. According to Final, it got it's name from his original residence during his "first life" on EtherealSMP, wherein he named it due to the massive amount of salmon and squid that spawned in massive schools. He collected massive amounts of sugarcane and stores them in his outpost for later usage. It is believed he started what has come to be known as the "Sugarcane Infestation", or the "Sugarcane Empire" as he has coined it.
== Timeline ==
=== Season 1 ===
Final spent the first month adjusting to his new environment, somewhat helping others, causing some problems, and going on adventures and doing hijinks with Hamilton. One day, Final was captured by the mysterious Bounty Hunter: Xevarokk. Through much struggle, Final struggled against his captors, and attempted to sabotage them, only to be imprisoned in a cell buried deep underground. When he was finally rescued from the Scar Clan, he was ecstatic to be free. He finally talked to Phoenix about their relationship, and they became something closer. He spent the next weeks recovering, only to have to struggle and fight against "the General", eventually losing one of his lives in battle against him. In a final stand, he participated in the Battle of Mycelsea Isle, AKA "Operation Sleeping Dragon", alongside many others. At the Choosening, he went unchosen by some accident caused by the Gods, to which the voices that haunted him were then cut down by everyone else. Final consistently worked day and night to find the Siphon and to help anyone... given he felt like a failure. Working alongside Midas, they have uncovered many mysteries and learned to read in languages they never thought they could. After Hamilton's many "good-hearted" attempts to help out, he finally snapped and lashed out at Hamilton, causing them to split. After some time, working alongside Midas and Solar, Final was able to locate and break the protective seal on the Siphon... which in turn released the Titans from their prison. The group he took down to the Siphon was almost trapped, and he still feels guilt for what happened. He worked tirelessly with the Siphon to develop his old blueprints and finish several formulas so he can begin holding up his promises. In the weeks leading up to the Doomsday, Final took a small group to open a portal to the End, which nearly ended in failure. Using Cringe's group as a distraction for the All-Seeing God, they were able to open a portal to the End, and slay the Dragon, at the cost of many of Final's "Relationships" he had seemingly given up hope on. In the process, he had taken on a curse that would instantaneously kill him should he enter the End Portal located within the End itself. After finally finding Appel Cyder, he and his team attempted to start the process of making one final portal... a portal to another world. When the All-God learned of this plan, he sent in several fleets to capture and kill any who would dare try and escape the world or their fate. Before the finale began, Final said what would assumedly be his last goodbyes to everyone in Afterglow, before charging into battle against the Fleets of the Cosmos. He and a small crew including Ronin, Reef, Trap, Zombi, and Hamilton stood and defeated the first of the Cosmic Fleets. However, many were worn and... refused to let Final die alone. This sparked Zombi to, by the power of some otherworldly force, take on Final's curse. Cosmos's last words to Final and those who meant to leave fell on deaf ears, as they escaped to what is only assumed to be some sort of freedom...
=== Season 2 ===
With Final's escape, he and many others crash-landed into a strange new world, where they became engrossed in a mostly barren and scarred world, finding that their crash-landing had also taken out many others in the process, leading to individuals not of this world being brought against their will. This caused him to reconsider his position, seeing as Bronze was too far removed, Hamilton had run off, and Ali was the only one left to care for him, he set up a nice home in the Seaswept Village, farming and tending to the ghost town. As he stayed there, he met a version of Puffin, or "Nyx" from back in Empire Horizons, who had seemingly escaped the erasure of said world. He also met a conglomerate version of Snowuh who had seemingly gained the missing knowledge of his ancestors and alternate worlds. Making fast friends with the son of Trap, Max, and Nyx, he set up shop in the village, hoping to just stay far from any conflict... this only lead to him becoming a target of the House of Salvation, a newly formed clan following the fall of the Scar Clan. The leader of said clan approached him, only to show a sinister intent, slaughtering Ali in an explosion. Final lost control shortly thereafter, becoming a raging monster fueled by anger and grief. During his rampage, he met the House of Salvation on several fronts, decimating several of their fleet's ships and crew. He also fought Bronze, wielding a strange red blade, only for Bronze to be left dazed. In a final confrontation, the people of Afterglow gathered at the now Seaswept Crater, having been given visions of Final's anger... being taunted by their new adversary who had been slain, the strongest of Afterglow's members met Final in battle, trying to quell his rage to no avail, energy brimming from every orifice. Azalea had noted the level of energy pouring out of his body... and seeing cracks in the form, notified everyone of how it was slowly killing him. This lead to a more cautious and split effort to stop his rampage. It was only when Ali returned that the energy began to expel from his body in massive quantities, and working together, they had subdued the enraged scientist. Afterwards, Final left with Ali and Max to recover, confused and exhausted. After two weeks, he disappeared, apologizing to Ali through a letter before leaving to discover a new power he needed to attain to become stronger and more father-like. After mastering the basics of magic, he returned only under the cover of night, having realized that the House of Salvation was after him. In his final moments, he discovered something strange about the ice, and attempted to have Snowuh aid him, only to go up in smoke.
== Major Lore Notes ==
* Final is the only character so far to be inhabited by Cosmos.
* Final has made mention of a "Brother" of his by the name of Dwagen, whom he had lost during the events of the first world.
*Final's title while under Bounty by otherworldly forces was "Elemental Bastard". He was wanted for several crimes, such as escaping judgement, writing slander against the All-God, and helping others avoid punishment from the All-God. His Bounty was the largest out of every person mentioned.
* Final was constantly haunted by the voices of people he knew, who would talk down on him. That was until the Choosening, where everyone banded together to "Silence the Voices", freeing him from the constant whispers of madness.
*Final's Book is the only one that has yet to be seen by others. His book said four simple words: "Let's start this again >:)"
* Final is the only one who knew of the Siphon's power, and he is currently the only individual with any experience using it's abilities in the pursuit of scientific discovery.
Name 	Status 	Notes
Appel Cyder 	Neutral-Positive	"He's... just misunderstood. I know what it's like to be in his shoes. He... gave me some great advice, but he's one of the most capable and well-spoken individuals I've ever met... Godspeed, intelligent."
Zombi Cyder 	Positive 	"He's... He's the only one I've ever met that's given so much. I know he's a bit messed up, but at least he's honest. He might joke and laugh and cause problems... but I know deep down he was the best ally to ever have on your side. I'm sorry... Rest in Peace, Brother."
Dragonir 	Neutral 	"I... really wish I could make up for all the things that I caused to them... but they're too far gone now. I'll never forgive myself for not being there for them..."
Tailoc 	Positive 	"He's a good friend, a strong ally... and one of the bravest I've ever seen. Rest Well, Warrior."
Hamilton 	Neutral 	"He's my son, regardless of whatever hardships we face. I will never doubt him again... but... I can't look at him without remembering his death..."
Phoenix 	Positive 	"I've never met someone so infatuated by me... let alone someone who cared that much for my wellbeing. I loved her... I think. It's hard to know if it was love or me being wishful... but she was the best thing to come into my life. I wish we could've had more time together..."
Ronin 	Positive 	"He's a good guy. He seems... rough around the edges... but at least he knows what he's capable of and what he's worth... The fact alone that he stayed to fight alongside me... that meant a lot."
Solar 	Neutral-Positive	"They're... interesting to say the least. A lot more selfish than I care to associate with... but I can't fault someone who's been through so much. Hopefully... they either got out okay, or it wasn't painful."
Sneggizoroth 	Neutral 	"They seem to avoid me... and only tried to pick me out of pity. At least they tried... but he's pretty arrogant from what I've seen. Hopefully he got out safe or found peaceful rest..."
Puffin 	Neutral 	"I thought we were on good enough terms... they seemed to like me, and they always were kind to me... but then they "set me free"... kind of hurts to think I believed I even earned their respect after the General..."
Midas 	Positive 	"He's a strong-willed dwarf, thirsty for knowledge, and an overall achiever of great things. His Museum is a spectacle... and I've told him far more than I would've liked to... but I trust him... See you soon, Brother."
Manta 	Neutral 	"He and I didn't get along, but he deserves better. Hopefully he found rest during the collapse."
011730.1 	Neutral-Positive	"Even after their betrayal at Operation Sleeping Dragon... I hoped that they would stay around long enough to try and heal their wounds. I may have been the reason they tried to find a new body... or maybe I'm not... but they didn't deserve what happened to them. I couldn't bring myself to attend your Funeral, Olive... I'm sorry."
Bronze 	Neutral-Positive	"I owed him a lot during our first worlds together... and after some time he was like a brother to me. We signed a contract and swore an oath... but after losing Phoenix... he changed. He overworks himself... hopefully he'll be okay."
Jekyll 	Neutral 	"He's... not super useful. He was a close friend to Phoenix... but he didn't have much going for him. Hopefully he's somewhere better now..."
Snowuh 	Neutral-Positive	"He's a good kid... a little rough around the edges, and seems to understand Zombi well enough. Olive takes care of them as well... but maybe he's something worth fighting for... maybe..."
The General 	Negative 	"I hate every gear that overrode my friend, every program that injured Phoenix and the others... I swear, if we ever meet again... I'm going to turn him into a glorified toilet."
Cosmos 	Negative 	"He's the reason for all of my suffering... EVERYONE'S suffering... He is beyond powerful, and I've been a pawn in his games for far too long... I swear to you, Cosmos... I'm going to repay you for every insult, injury, and misdeed..."
Xevarokk 	Negative 	"Powerful Mercenary. Remarkable, TYRANNICAL, leadership... but if it wasn't for him, things might've been further along than they are now. I couldn't fight back against him... but at least I'm free of his tyranny now."
Pepper With A K	Neutral-Negative	"While he could've helped free me from the Scar Clan, and we could've found a way to use his wish... he's selfish and passed that onto Hamilton. He's the reason Hamilton is a disaster now. I hope he disappears soon..."
Iron Skeleton 	Neutral-Negative	"I have no sympathy for those who'd turn on their own for the sake of self preservation. I have no interest in his "world", and he gives scientists and scholars everywhere a bad reputation. However... he's lost less than I... maybe he has a point..."
Choccy S.C. Boi	Neutral-Positive	"He was a good person. He didn't deserve to die... I've watched three generations get lost to death and decay now... I'm sorry Choccy. You'll always be a friend to me."
Reef 	Neutral-Positive	"He's... uh... definitely somebody trustworthy. "Battle Therapist" is an understatement. He stood side-by-side with us at the Operation Sleeping Dragon and the Battle at the End, and for that he has my respect. Hopefully I'll get to know him better soon."
Natarii 	Neutral 	"Anytime we've spoken, it's been bickering and name-calling... but they've probably got a deeper story..."
Popper 	Neutral 	"They're definitely a sneak-thief, but they're cunning and agile. While I don't have much to say about them... at least they share a love for berries..."
"Stuck" 	Neutral-Negative	"I don't necessarily trust the creature made of goop and tar. It did fight against us at Operation Sleeping Dragon... but I know what he's capable of. If nothing else... he might be the key to breaking Cosmos' hold over the Other World... The End. I promised Stuck I'd get him back to Appel... and I plan to uphold my promise... Everyone deserves to be able to go home... But why did it have to turn out this way? He could've been a useful friend..."
