Player is a Witch that was bound to the place where Cookie Kingdom now stands. Their Life Force is what keeps friends and enemies, living and dead, old as young, and alternative Universes Desserts alive in the Kingdom.
Bound Witch can interact with Desserts in the Kingdom and can see their adventures outside it, but can't interfere.
They cannot leave the Cookie Kingdom, but can use MyCookie as a vessel to go on adventures near it and interact with other Bound Witches.
When canonical events are unsatisfactory, Bound Witches can split off an Alternative Universe with their own event. That Universe does not follow the canonical one fully, but Witch can choose whether or not events that are being shown will be a part of their alternative timeline.
I split off from the main Universe.
After Cookies came back to the Cookie Kingdom, they couldn't find Void Ash Cookie anywhere. They figured they were at the Starlight Island, place where Void Ash Cookie retrieves when they feel very bad.
Cookies waited for the whole day, but Void Ash didn't return. Starlight Cookie started to worry. So Pure Vanilla Cookie decided to go talk to them.
On the island, Void Ash spoke about wanting to help but being bound to the Kingdom. They spoke about the Beasts and about White Lily's sacrifice. Void Ash told Pure Vanilla about Alternative Universes, and he asked to become one.
Void Ash Cookie brought the Beast and White Lily back. Though there was fear in her as Dark Enchantress also would come back, Void Ash assured her they only brought White Lily back. After all, the logic of their canonical Universe doesn't work anymore now that they have split off.
Void Ash also brought Elder Faerie back and told him, SilSalt and Whily, about their possible familial connection, just to see where it goes, you know.
Beasts were kept souljamless. Shadow Milk was also brought back to the timeline. He is under Pure Vanilla's care.
Void Ash decided to unbind from the Kingdom, replacing themselves with a black hole that now stands in the center of it. They put a little bit of their essence or life force into it to make it capable of keeping Kingdom as it was before.
Void Ash, being a Bound Witch, is a Witch type Cookie.
Things unique to Void Ash:
They are a Support Safeguard
They create a shield that absorbs all the damage dealed to all allied Cookies and creatures.
If an allied Cookie health falls below 20%, a Wither debuff is applied on everything on the field, causing periodical damage.
If an allied Cookie dies, periodical damage grows in strength, killing entities in two hits with full health.
Puts a "???" buff on Stardust, Sugar Swan, Dark Cacao and Silent Salt, increasing their damage resist and hp by depliting their own health bar.
As a Safeguard, they can't be killed, but the more hp they transfer to "???" buff Cookies, the more likely "Wither" debuff is to appear without any Cookie being under 20% health or dying.
Bro this update was so painful I made an au where everything is good to cope T . T
The bound witch concept is cool, I think, and it also explains why Cookie Kingdom has so many dead Cookies and why no one ages
I will add some concepts of my Bound Witch once I get a bit of time, but for now have a lot of yapping
