**Auromio Alstrokella** is a character in *Reckon Crystal*. He is Zuyara's husband, and the father of Lancerrow and Brooley.

## Official description

*"A home-grown, old-fashioned farmer. Auromio follows a work schedule of 12 hours a day, 5 days a week. Tiring for some, but as a Cyan Evo-Wisp, it's nothing but a stretch. He's always up for days off, though -and it's what helped him save a superior, despite often not resorting to violence. His Wisp shell might grow old, but if he keeps his skin actively glowing, he's got a lot of time ahead."*

## Character

### Physical appearance

Auromio has lightly dulled cyan skin. He has a rounded head, slanted eyes with lime green irises and pupils shaped like ovals with bolts beneath. There are a few wrinkles around the eyes, more noticeable when making an exaggerated expression. He has a bolt ponytail on the bottom back of his head, and a pastel cyan beard.

Auromio has a tall, slim-bulky body, three fingers and a thumb on each hand, a lightning bolt tail with three corners, and feet resembling bolts.

#### Default outfit

He wears a yellow hat with a rounded brim and a semi-spherical top with an olive-green stripe, a yellow shirt with orange lines forming squares, dark orange gloves, and olive-green boots with dark orange string, dark orange accents, and amber yellow centers. He holds a piece of wheat with his mouth.

### Powers and abilities

* **Native Wisp Energy usage (Cyan Laser):** Like most members of the Cyan Laser race, Auromio can utilize lightspeed to escape from danger, as a manner of transport, and/or attack targets. This Wisp energy can also be used to power up weaponry.

## Story

### *Reckon Crystal*

Before formally appearing in the story, Auromio appears in a flashback relating to Lancerrow's origins. He met Zuyara as her army was a frequent group of customers in Beamglow Farms, only further getting to know her after she asked for authorization to temporarily leave the army. However, Sting Samuray got possessed and the army was attacked, but Auromio, despite disliking violence, saved their life and Zuyara's. After Ryonsen Village was restored, Sting Samuray permitted their wedding, making Zuyara move in with Auromio.

#### Death

> *“Zuyara. I feel like I have fulfilled my purpose in this life, and I have to go, even if I must suffer a brutal death… so please… do it…”* -Auromio's last words.

After a satisfying meal, Auromio gets knocked out above his plate. When Zuyara turns his head, it is revealed that Auromio got infected by the Shadow Virus. At first, he was confused as of what to target. Until everyone else was either killed or saved, only he remained, and attacks Zuyara. Before he could infect her, she slashes his claws.

Not willing to continue fighting, both Auromio and Zuyara stare at each other. Auromio nonverbally tells Zuyara to kill him, which she repeatedly refuses until he speaks up with an unaltered voice. He tells her that Lancerrow can take care of themself and that they have Ka and Earthstar at their reach, thus not needing him anymore. Auromio stabs himself with Zuyara's blade while she still held it and waves goodbye before dropping on the floor.

As Auromio died while the Energy Crystals were separated, there is likelihood that he ended at the Shadow's Requiem. If that is the case, he would have reunited with Brooley.

## Development

Auromio was conceptualized during the writing process of *Reckon Crystal*'s definitive version, and up until Part 1 Chapter 9. He was originally intended to only appear on Lancerrow's flashback, with an unknown change of plans making him appear personally during Part 2, along Zuyara.

### Design

Auromio was designed in Mid-2022, with his design being from the first to get redrawn in LastyGhost's updated art style later that year. His design draws inspiration from several farmer characters, such as Jose Gallard from *Balan Wonderworld* and Wambus Troubleham from *Bugsnax*, with Auromio conserving the Cyan Wisp as primary basis.

### Name

His name was the first thing LastyGhost produced as she wrote *Reckon Crystal*.
