Yeah, I've been working on him for ages on a text file until he was presentable enough, even as a work in progress. But at long, long last, the time has finally come... I, AlphaTheHD, creator, writer and narrator of the TheHDverse, present to you the long awaited first member of The Crew: Mathaniel Drakomyr!

Alpha: I don't wanna burst your bubble but, I'm actually the first Crew member.

Well I don't wanna burst your bubble, but a single person can't make a crew by themselves.

Alpha: Did you forget I can duplicate?

I don't think duplicates really count as different people. Wait. Are even perfect duplicates that are identical to you in every way still different entities? Can different bodies and minds count as the same entity? What makes you you when there are thousand of different versions of you, each as real as the others? And if only one can be called Alpha, then which is it? And do previous iterations of you count as well?

Alpha: That's some deep philosophical shit you just came up with. You can always explore those questions in one of your stories following a duplicate's identity crisis as he's trying to figure out whether he's just an extension of myself or a character of his own. But you'll have to flesh out The Outside the TheHDverse more first. Or you can just be lazy and go with "Fiction. That's how/why."

I already told you I would make The Outside's page eventually! Now be patient and stop bothering me with this already!

Alpha: Whoever said anything about The Outside? I was talking about your verse, but now that you bring it up, it would be great if you could get yourself to make it before the end of time, preferably. *sigh* Just for this, I think I'll complete The Crew and their universe of origin first and end with The Outside.

Alpha: Oh, c'mon- What, really? You're re- You gotta be- Stop cutting my- Okay, I get it. I'll shut up about it from now on.

Good.

Alpha:  Salty much?

I can read that, you know?

Alpha: Yes. That was the point.
