Annie

Annie is found in a hidden room in Arkanum.

History
Annie is the mother and the origin of the world (World meaning the mechanical whale). The universe starts with the Big Bang. With the Big Bang’s release of energy, a little seed was created (Note: One of my original objects used at the beginning of the character creation was a flower, specifically a rose). The seed absorbed the energy released by the Big Bang that was around it. From the seed, a little plant grew. This plant needed energy provided from the light of the stars to grow.

The little plant grew, and so did its roots. The roots were mineral-like and metal-like. The roots grew until it almost covered the little plant within a capsule. The plant had difficulties receiving light since it was almost covered entirely by roots. As a solution, it shared some of its life energy and created a mineral which provided life. That is how Jack was born. Jack served Annie. It absorbed the light of the Sun (Jack is created by solar-panel-like minerals) and then it gave it to Annie by lighting itself up (Jack is designed after a lightbulb). That was Jack’s duty.

The plant kept growing, and so did its roots. The roots ended up creating an entire moving structure, shaped as a whale. The plant was hidden in a little room inside the whale. The whale traveled from start to star so that the plant could keep receiving light and keep living.

Other living beings (other than Jack and Annie) appeared after some parts of the whale (Annie is, at the same time, the plant and the whale itself since its roots are what form the world) was infused with Annie’s life energy. That is how life minerals were created. These minerals accidentally got together with other types of minerals and together created the first simple living beings (other than Jack and Annie). The life minerals would be referred to as “nucleus” by the world’s inhabitants.

Jack served Annie for a long time. Its duty during its whole life was to gather light and enter the hidden room in the whale to give light to Annie. Once, when it went outside of the hidden capsule to gather light, it was “killed” by the world’s other inhabitants. The other inhabitants of the world smashed Jack’s body into pieces and stole its life mineral (nucleus). Jack’s life mineral was the purest and best since it was the original. Jack’s body’s minerals were also foreign and strange to the world’s inhabitants since it was transparent and could absorb light. The other inhabitants thought he was dangerous, so they feared him.

After Jack was killed, Annie no longer received light. Annie was stressed since she didn’t know where Jack was (it was the first time that he had disappeared for so long). She also got weaker since she didn’t receive light energy.

Tremors and “earthquakes” occurred throughout the whole world (Whale). This was the prelude to the disaster. The world’s inhabitants were very scared. They traced the origin of the earthquakes and found Annie’s hidden room. They had never seen a plant (since Annie was the only one). They thought she was a “monster” and the cause for the tremors. So they cut her down and Annie was killed.

After Annie’s death, there was nothing that could support the world. The world collapsed and exploded into pieces. That was how the world ended.

Creation of Core Minerals
Annie generates minerals filled with life energy. These serve to provide life to non-living things. Jack was the first being born this way.
