Tinker Tinker… "Oh hi, name's Aalos, I’m a time traveling engineer, I am dedicated to the sciences, figuring out how the universe works. There’s a lot of things you need to get across this universe. Warp drive… wormhole refractors… You know the thing you need most of all? You need a hand to hold.”

“Time is free, but it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back.”

“Every choice we make allows us to manipulate the future. Living is making choices.”

my days
  • Aalos in a red top with a cup
  • Aalos pouring coffee at a sunny window, barefoot
  • Aalos in goggles in a sunny city plaza
  • Aalos grinding coffee in her workshop, Glompy on the bench

Coffee, then the ant farm, then work. Next time I look up, it's dark out.

The bagpipes are for morale. Mostly mine.

Glompy, a black oil slime, in a desert
Glompy!!

Glompy

A kawaii oil slime that hangs around her all the time, sometimes he hides in a shell that she made during combat. He mostly is just a cute sentient slime made of crude oil.

He squeezes into the pipes I can't reach. Best lab assistant I've ever had.

story

Story

Aalos grew up long ago, in an older age of Tharron, among a people who trusted magic and looked down on machines. Her own magic mostly fizzled, so she learned to tinker instead. Then a spell went very wrong, and a portal threw her far into the future.

  • A vast underground city of black stone, lit by crystal glow
  • A tower workshop torn open by a glowing rift, desert beyond it
Aalos aiming a large mechanical gun
pt 2

She woke up in a desert, in a world alien invaders had turned to sand and ruins. A band of raiders found her half buried in the sand and taught her how to survive out there.

  • Desert canyon at sunset
  • Crashed alien ships over a ruined city
  • A giant creature in the desert
  • Aalos aiming a long rifle in a red-lit corridor, Glompy on her shoulder
  • Aalos in a black flight suit in a hangar, helmet under her arm
  • Aalos in a torn shirt in a scrapyard garage, Cyberpunk 2077
  • Aalos in dark plate armor, Throne and Liberty

pt 3

Lucky for her, the wasteland runs on steam and scrap. She fixes what she can and builds what she needs, and every alien gadget she takes apart teaches her something new. Old-world tinkering plus alien tech is how she stays alive. And somewhere in all that machinery, she's looking for a way home.

  • A raider camp built inside a crashed alien hull at sunset
  • A ruined industrial interior
  • Aalos at a workbench
  • Aalos crossing a long broken bridge over a frozen plain
  • Aalos sitting on a broken escalator in a ruined mall, Glompy beside her
  • Aalos with a robot companion

pt 4

She misses a sister back home. Out here she has the raiders who took her in, a blue robot she rescued, and Glompy, obviously.

If something's broken, I've already noticed. If you're upset, give me a minute.

  • A campfire by a wreck under the stars, a faint portal glow on the horizon
  • Aalos with a rifle standing on a wrecked car in the desert, Glompy at her feet
  • Aalos in a red armored suit, from a mech game
