Cosmo

Cosmo is one of the most important heroes of the Strange Comics Universe.

## Appearance

### **Physical Description**

Lawerence is a man of average figure with a pale skintone and pale blue eyes. His blond hair is short but also messy and pairs well with his similarly styled facial hair. His face always seems to sport a serious look and the air around him seems to make others uncomfortable, almost scared.

### **Civilian Outfit**

Outside of his work as the Augurer Absolute, Lawrence seems to dress in business casual. He dons a white, long-sleeved polo shirt, dress pants, and slip-on business shoes.

### **Hero Outfit**

When the Augurer Absolute is called into action, he dons dark blue robes tied of with violet and silver tipped sashes and tall boots and a cloak that bares the sights of the wider universe upon it. He completes his ensemble by donning the ancient Amulet of Aitasil, which grants him psychic powers.

## Personality

While many heroes choose to be funny and inspiring, Cosmo is a reminder that a hero as old as him has seen horrors unlike any that any mortal has ever seen. He is stoic and calm always. He doesn't let the horrors that are often seen in his line of work phase him, either. He holds the fate of the universe in his hands. If he gets too emotional, his power could bring the end.

## History

### **Origins**

Lawrence started out as a nobody, someone no one would ever notice. He'd never done anything to important nor was he overtly talented at anything. No one in his hometown of Trout Creek, Oregon had any reason to recognise him.

But there came a day when everything changed... and Lawrence became the last man of Earth. No harm had come to the planet nor the people of it; everyone on it, excluding Lawrence, had seemed to disappear. Lawrence was left behind on an empty Earth. It would feel as though centuries would pass by as he scoured the world looking for someone, *anyone*, to no aveil! He was alone, forgotten, and worst of all, he was still just a nobody.

Soon the sky above him would whiten as would everything else. The world began to lose all colour, all meaning. This would be the beginning of the end of everything. The Earth, itself, would fade all to white leaving poor, lonely, Lawrence in a void. The universe was over. There was nothing left of it... save for Lawrence, floating alone in the emptyness. This left Lawrnece to mull over his thoughts for time unknowable. Time for him think and question: "Why me?"

The man made a valid point in only two words. Why had it been him? For what purpose could a nobody have survived the end of everything? And from the white, a voice emerge to answer those two little words. "Because you will be at the centre of everything!"

But what was there to be the centre of when there was nothing else but him. He outlived time, space, and gravity, themselves. He had outlived all that was the beginning and the end. There was nothing for him to be the centre of. That was... until the voice said: "Look!" And suddenly Lawrence saw everything. Until he saw that he'd been standing in the centre of the New Universe. He'd spent eons at the centre. Countless millenia had passed him since he'd seen anything and now, to see the wide expanse of the universe again, to see everything, it brought tears of joy to his eyes.

He was finally NOT alone; however, this time things would be different. He would no longer be the nobody he once was. Lawrence Heinz had survived the end of everything, he'd lived to see the New Universe! But he hesistated to leave the white, the centre of it all, for the voice that had emerged had told him that he was the centre of everything. If he moved from the centre of it all, would it all cease to be?

He sat once again, in the white, alone. He questioned whether he should or shouldn't leave. But something crossed his mind in these infinte thoughts and questions: If he was the centre of everything, then he was now the important man in the universe! All would someday rely on him.

But for now, he was still Lawrence Heinz... and he was going to go home. If he was the centre of everything, then it wouldn't matter where he was, he would still be **the most important man in the universe**.
