**Character Art: [Default / No Helmet / Suit]**

## Starcluster Datapac

Dr. Zakonu Va'laan is a time-travelling inventor and renowned paradoxologist from the distant year of 3737. Thanks to his studies, he was able to harness an ore within Planet Chronia called Maktronium to create time-manipulating equipment. This Maktronium crystal was a precious metal embedded in the planet milennia ago by the Maktron Comet crashlanding into it, infusing the mineral into the core. As such, it is theoretically infinite as time duplicates the crystals ad infinitum.

Using his equipment, he embarked on a quest to explore Chronia's history and got himself caught up in an event told in the very history books he read; the past's own tussle with the Mad Kirizu. Bringing together a group of fighters he called the Timehanders, he would battle his adversary only to discover his time machine plans were used by a jealous Kirizu colleague. Vowing to keep time's flow from being altered to the point of stretching the timestream thin, he would take his temporal adventures to any and all time periods and fix their paradoxes. This led him into the path of AnthonyM and the M-Crew on more than one occasion, providing advice from the shadows before disappearing without a trace.

Zakonu's own Kirizu physiology enables him to survive in many dangerous climates, and because of his Maktronium suit, he can freely hop through time without any ill effects. He will usually appear to others sporadically, only showing up "when it is the proper time to" as any misstep could mess with time as we know it; despite being just a doctor from the future and an inventor of time travel, he ended up becoming time's keeper itself. Alongside his wife Hartschia, Zakonu is never in the same place twice. And despite him being a short bug-man, he and his wife are perfect for each other, always watching each other's backs.

## Background

### Early life

Zakonu is from Chronia in the year 3737, in a time where technology has far surpassed what it was like a millenium prior. During his years in school, he met his longtime friend and colleague Hartschia. The two hit it off surprisingly well and eventually married in the year 3726. During the time, Zakonu had worked on a new type of technology; time travel. Using a mineral known as Maktronium, Zakonu eventually did perfect temporal travel and the two scientists would plunge through time.

### *The Hands of Time*

The first time frame Zakonu plunges into is the past; he unintentionally was right where he needed to be. The past had been infiltrated by one of Zakonu's other colleagues; another Kiruzu who had previously planned to patent time travel machinery before Zakonu made his. Seeing that the past would be in danger, he enlisted the help of those who would be considered heroes in Chronian history; Fyrum, Ehsu, and Gigavolt.

During his time in the past, Zakonu also befriended the mysterious spider queen, Mother Rakhna, on pure accident. Eventually with her help, Zakonu would take down the "Mad Kirizu" once and for all.

### *Sketch Arena Tournament*

Zakonu saw opportunity in the Sketch Arena Tournament and filed a last-minute application for himself and his wife. Knowing that AnthonyM and co. wouldn't stand a chance without his help, he used his power of time manipulation to prevent the Brothers of the Onyx from causing any paradoxes, returning to his time as a paradoxologist, but never losing contact of the friends he made over at the tournament.

### *AnthonyM and the Multiverse: Crossing Rifts*

With AnthonyM and the crew without an idea of where to go, Zakonu steps in to ask the crew, now under the faction named "The Cause", for their help in aiding the Chronia of the past which is under attack from heroes turned corrupt.

Upon being accepted, he becomes a Team Captain.

## Personality

Zakonu tends to be one of the most gentlemanly Fighters out there, usually referring to everybody as "sir" or "madam". He has an understanding of history, lending his wisdom when he feels it is necessary, but never revealing too much. After all, he doesn't wish to make more paradoxes. He typically will laze about when not fighting, due to having "all the time in the world" (which is technically true).

Zakonu loves his wife Hartschia more than anyone or anything in the world, usually referring to her as his "honey" and will usually go on the defensive if his wife is threatened or hit on. Many of the Fighters usually respect him due to him usually showing up exactly when he is needed.

## Relationships

### Hartschia

Zakonu loves his wife dearly, and she just makes him happy to be alive. He does everything he can to be by her side.

### Fyrum, Ehsu, and Gigavolt

Zakonu respects his fellow teammates from the past, but he knows that he can't always guarantee time to interact with them. When they become part of the Cause, he does hang out around them more.

### AnthonyM

Zakonu and AnthonyM have grown close as allies over time. The two have shared some fun memories together while taking on missions.

### Lady Elementia

Zakonu respects Lady Elementia and her powers over the multiverse. It was thanks to her that Zakonu and co. were unshackled from causing paradoxes.
