**Lagos, the Inevitable Fate** was an advanced construct created to disassemble, incorporate and analyze things living or otherwise, this was later used as part of what was at the time the unnamed Lagos Project becoming a simulacra of Lagos.

## Description

### Personality

Befitting its nature as a Construct, the Inevitable is cold and mechanical, exhibiting no signs of a true personality - only clean efficiency. Every decision it makes is informed by this trait, causing it to judge people purely on their value in attaining its pre-programmed goals. Its advanced programming makes it aware of concepts such as emotion, humor or sarcasm, but it does not make use of them itself, merely seeing them as another variable to be factored in when attempting to calculate the behavior of other beings.

Following its temporary banishment to the Auroran Space Station, pieces of the Inevitable's original self as Lagos resurface. While still exhibiting the same mechanical mindset and still being bound by its programming, the new Inevitable now shows an interest in personal goals beyond this programming, at one point attempting to find a loophole in it to accomplish these goals.

## History

Lagos, the Inevitable Fate was an advanced construct created by the Aurorans to disassemble, incorporate and analyze things living or otherwise, this was later used as part of the as yet unnamed Lagos Project. Sometime during the project, it became used in an attempt to research Astari magic to assist in the colonization if Io through the absorption of an Astari captive named Lagos, resulting in the first of 8 Lagos' a group of simulacra intent in destroying the current Io. At an unknown point in time, The Inevitable ended up damaged and missing memory, it was found by Levin the original Lagos' father who programmed in a directive to protect the Astral Academy and defeat Kaasma Khara, Levin originally kept The Inevitable with the knowledge it was a simulacra of his deceased son however due to the Astari soul phenomenon later forgot this.

## Story

### Phase 2

The Inevitable served as an aid for the Astral Academy campaign working as a research device for anything or anyone they found including the analysis of Granny. Upon Levin's demise, The Inevitable system took over the academy and continued to aid for the future Final Battle Vs. Kaasma Khara. However. due to their construct like behaviour and use of similarly behaving minions, it caused the Goblins of Io to flee the academy and join  the side of Kaasma Khara.

The Inevitable acted as a major antagonist for the Goblins of Io campaign once they had began a raid of the academy to gain the data of the rest of the people preparing for the final battle. During a confrontation with the Goblins, the Inevitable was banished back to the prime plane and got a brief glimpse of the Auroran Space Station that he was created in, which caused the construct to start repairing its memories. The Inevitable would then send out the top students of the Astral Academy to help them gain power not only for Kaasma Khara, but for its own plans as well.

The Inevitable had managed to analyze many different forms of power during its runtime, such as the blood of a young sorceror and powerful Dae magics, and eventually found that the "antagonistic" goblins had managed to end up in the same station he was temporarily banished to. Using this as an opportunity to fully repair his memories, the Inevitable teleported himself and the students to the Auroran Space Station where he was created. While the others were busy dealing with the rogue goblins, the Inevitable took the time to sift through the station logs and repair his memories, something that reawakened him as one of the eight Lagos.

To start his own plan in destroying Io, the Inevitable reassigned the station name to be called "The Astral Academy" and began its operations there, but it would be for naught as the goblins had managed to convince the students that the Inevitable brought with him to assist in destroying The Inevitable once and for all. After a fierce battle, the combined might of the Goblins and Students had managed to thoroughly destroy the robot, ending its plans before they ever began.

### Phase 3

While the Inevitable was destroyed, the battle that took place at the station had left a scar in history, forming a Black Star mark in the room the battle took place. That mark was later found by a gang of misfits who were looking to siphon the station for its fuel, as well as obtain part of a key to the treasure of Atlas. While within the mark, those people witnessed the finding of the Inevitable within the Astral Academy and its eventual takeover of the school before reliving the final battle that this mechanical monster had lived to see. Much like before, the battle nearly took the lives of a few of these individuals, but ultimately ended in the defeat of the Inevitable Fate once again, erasing the Black Star Mark from the station once and for all.

## Powers and Abilities

* Analytical Prowess: The Inevitable is able to thoroughly analyze anything about specific powers and capabilities, and is able to modify himself to either use that power himself, or to counteract them.
