I’m late but what is nikos relationship with Mona? I’m curious about them!
wow im so sorry anon this is a DOOZY
so tldr; childhood friends reunited during chaotic times turned lovers (?) and now exes stuck with each other in the middle of space 💀
tldr for X-3996; its a very frigid planet kinda like tundra/taiga/steppe-ish like environments. It has been colonized by humans/many other species over time and is used by this huge company to fuel the richer, more inner rim planets.
niko and mona ... they met as children probably around the ages of 6/7 at what basic education they were getting on X-3396. The governing group/company (named ARCTIS rn) doesnt give a shit about their mine workers/their families so bare minimum EVERYTHING but anyways the local kids pretty much formed little groups and niko's ended up being him, his younger brother sascha, mona, miloš and his twin sister danička. they were as thick as thieves and would run around town causing chaos to the annoyance of the local adults AWUHFAWG stealing poffkas from the baker, jumping around on the roofs of homes, and running into the woods to play hide and seek and shit like that. niko would never realize or admit it but for a while he had something like a crush on mona :,)))
this was around him being 10-11 years old (mona being 9-10 i think) but one day she goes missing and he has no way of finding out why or where she went. mona was orphaned at a young age and didnt have any family so theres no way of finding her that way yknow. years go by with nothing and life continues on, getting shittier for most. niko loses his father in the mines and his brother as well... iykyk... thats for another day.
(side note... a bit after his father's death, niko gets an apprenticeship with a the town's engineer/smith and he does this along with working in the mines 🥲 this is important to some of this i promise)
short of the long is the people revolt (started pretty much by niko himself) and a full on war begins on X-3996 (niko is 16). a year or two into it after a near death experience for niko, mona stumbles upon him and helps to fix him up (cough cough alter him with nano tech). turns out she had been taken to ARCTIS' on-planet institute and was being taught all this shit with science and medicine. after this they continue to work against ARCTIS and with the revolution and their relationship develops as this goes on as well. niko's first love is back in his arms but in a lot of danger because of him so it's a little wild in that sense :(
this together-but-not relationship goes on for ~3 more years (niko is 20 mona is 19). around this time is when they are finally captured/arrested by ARCTIS and thus begins the fall. due to their above average skills in engineering and medicine respectively ARCTIS can't just get rid of them, so they opt to... "recondition" and control them so they can be used to work. this involved mona being forced to insert certain technology in niko to inhibit/dampen his will/emotions and this pretty much tanks what they had together 🥲 mona now has to stay around niko to maintain this tech and he just remains a husk of him former self, working away on ARCTIS' ships as engine and reactor maintenance
also its been like 5-6 years from the mindfuck from ARCTIS to present timeline niko WAAAAAAA (20-26 age wise)
MORE SHITTY PICS YEAHH WOOOOO
