(aka villain koko go brrrr) (aka kit's a secret aulus fucker and they had you all fooled)

After HW Koko began to doubt themselves badly. Are they a good healer. They couldn't veen save Haurchefant. They couldn't save a lot of people. Thordan saw something in them. Something that scared him. Was that who they truly were?

With the loss ar Rhalgr's Reach against Zenos, they were dejected once again. They couldn't fight. Couldn't heal. Couldn't protect. What was the point of all this? Feeling they couldn't trust or talk to the scions after they believed the scions were using them, Koko fled after the dragonsong war. Back to the Azim Steppe. A visit to home to find themselves..

But sooner or later the scions went there looking for Hien and Koko. And they were dragged back into the mess between Eorzea and the Garleans. Just a weapon for them to use once again.

With each fight against Zenos, he fed more andmore idea into their head. Just a beast made to fight. To maim. To kill. And they started to believe him. He was right.. The fighting. The bloodlust. They loved it. The adrenaline. The strength. The power. And with Zenos they finally had someone they could use their full power against. With every fight against him, they grew stronger.

Come the fight at Ala Mhigo. They were still full of doubts against the Scions. Maybe they weren't meant to be the hero they all raised them up to be. Maybe they were being held back.

And with Zenos' offer to have them by his side. Their mind was made up. Turning their backs on the scions. Those who used them for so long. Joining someone who wouldn't use them. Who would take their power and make it stronger.

Despite the garleans losing Ala Mhigo and the resistence ultimately gaining freedom from the garleans. The Garleans gained something greater. The Warrior of Light.

They spent time after Ala Mhigo during the events of Shadowbringers in Aulus' Labs. Made to endure his experiments at the behest of Zenos. Anything for his sweet beast. Nothing but the best. All with the aim to make them stronger. He learnt about their aetheric corruption. And figured out a way for them to utilize it's power. Instead of it being a hindrance to their abilities.

Koko became twisted. With each new experiment. Altering their sense of self. Scales glowing with power as their corruption was weaved into their skin. Their attacks becoming laced with Ice. Their personality a raging blizzard.

It hurt. Of course it did. Everytime they used their power it hurt. But they learnt to embrace the pain. To laugh through it. Zenos couldn't be more proud of his partner. And Aulus felt a sick sense of love toward his new experiment.

A relationship spawned from this. Koko being doted on in the sweetest and the most wicked ways by the two men. And in turn they were doted on by their newest weapon.

Prepurchased the expansion on EU as well, so I could get the hat. Got inspired for another character to wear the hat. Aulus Relicseeker is a Durmand Priory novice who is training in magic. Most unlike most charr, he is clumsy and a crybaby.
