Ante Chao Era

The Ante Chao Era lasted for 200 days exactly from May 20th 2020 to December 6th 2020. It preceded the Pre-Snap Era.

The Ante Chao Era (Latin for Before Chaos) is the very first Era ever. It started with the introduction of the initial 8 members of the Them group and ended just before the introduction of the 9th. It let us get to know the OG members, what they were like and who they were. It was brought to your viewing device through the A-Line comics and the two P-Line comics.

It brought us many happy memories of the characters and their silly antics, Bunny's stupidity, and Corbin's preciousness. It's not to say that the Eras that come after don't include those aspects, but the Ante Chao Era is kinda like the golden age, y'know? It's what we got to know and love them as and I will always hold this Era close to my heart because I love it.

Here is a list of the Ante Chao comics -> Other Friends, Obsessions, Ideas, Milk, Wannabe, Movie, Squirrel, Puppy, Gossip, Scared, Straight Pride, Victory/Depression, Pumpkin Head, Cyrin, CHeesecakE, Hair Gel, and Industrial.

## The Members

During the Ante Chao era, only 8 Them group members existed: Annie, Bunny, Caelan, Corbin, Cyrus, Cyrin, S.P., and Biocide. In this picture is how they were featured (in color) during the Ante Chao period.

   Annie appeared in 5 comics: Other Friends, Wannabe, Movie, Gossip, and CHeesecakE. She was often quite sassy and sarcastic towards Cyrin, but friendly and kind towards anybody else. She had a fondness for cheesecake to the point of setting her friends on fire if they touched it without her permission, and she had a certain dis-fondness for Cyrin.

Bunny appeared in 7 comics: Other Friends, Ideas, Milk, Squirrel, Puppy, Scared, and Pumpkin Head. He was hot-headed and often cruel in a simplistic way towards Corbin of whom he always targeted. When not torturing Corbin, he was laid-back and calm, and you could always enjoy some time with him granted that you're not trying to kill one another.

Caelan appeared in 5 comics: Other Friends, Ideas, Milk, Victory/Depression, and Pumpkin Head. He was depressing and made a few suicide jokes (?), but never was any hassle or put up much of a fight. Even when angered, Caelan would always just sigh and retreat instead of fight back, which is not very common within the group.

Corbin appeared in 6 comics: Other Friends, Milk, Squirrel, Scared, Pumpkin Head, and CHeesecakE. He was always timid and afraid, often being scared by the tinest things (or people). However, Corbin has a heart of gold and (nowadays) he wouldn't hurt a fly even if it tried to shoot him.

Cyrus appeared in 5 comics: Other Friends, Ideas, Puppy, Victory/Depression, and CHeesecakE. They were stoic and quiet, but always having something to say if it would annoy or piss of someone else. They're wise and you could trust someone like them with your secrets as long as you don't mind them ridiculing you about the pointless endeavour of keeping secrets.

Cyrin appeared in 7 comics: Other Friends, Obsessions, Ideas, Milk, Wannabe, Movie, and Cyrin. She is lovable and always energetic, ready to drop everything for her love interest S.P. and ready to murder everyone for him too, whether he wants that or not. Cyrin is a little weird and has a bit of a temper, but it's nothing that a good ol' murder spree can't fix.

S.P. appeared in 5 comics: Other Friends, Ideas, Milk, Movie, and Gossip. He is seen as laid-back and stupid, but he's actually quite smart and has shown time and time again to know what he's doing. It wouldn't be surprising if S.P. turned out to be the mastermind or an accomplice to them because, while he's an idiot, he knows his way around the group and knows how to get what he wants.

Biocide appeared in 5 comics: Other Friends, Milk, Puppy, Gossip, and Straight Pride. She is easy-going and always peppy, offering happiness and cheer wherever she goes. She is always there for her friends and she could and would never hurt anybody. I don't think she has an evil bone in her body :)
