thought of some really cool backstory for killer!zam for the dbl au but i Cannot tell if it clashes with the canon lore or not cause i havent looked into it enough yet

#mine.txt #c zam #au dbl #f ls #basiaclly survivor!zam got banished to the void after 6 months cause he just kept on dying #and it eventually made his mind just shut down and start dissociating #which the entity didnt like cause that meant he wasnt feeling things anymore #and eventually he turned into a haunt cause i assume survivors that got voided turn into haunts eventually??? idk it doesnt really say #and the void in the blight's lore cinematic doesnt really look like the one in the event #while the one in the observer's cinematic doesnt really point to much #and during halloween or whenever it canonically takes place during a rift opening event spoke managed to release him #which made him remember everything that happened to him in the trials and yanked him out of his dissociated state #which stirred some Extremely Strong and Extremely Homicidal feelings #which made the void go hmmm maybe i still have some use for this guy after all and brought him back from the void #but since hes a haunt he needs a lot of auric cells to reconstruct #which isnt a problem for the entity but its still way more than the average killer needs #idk what the logic of the visceral cankers and pustula flowers are since i cant really find anything other than they bloom during halloween #so i headcanon they appear in areas with a larger concentration of auric cells #and normally auric cells are too spread out to spawn them #hence why they only really show up in halloween since more consciential energy is built up in the entity since emotions are running high #(i mean all kinds of emotions not just despair cause just despair would be the void)#and since zam is essentially a walking talking auric concentration hes got them blooming all over him #i also headcanon the realms run on amok time so both survivor!zam and killer!zam are just running around at the same time #theyve got an isolated timeloop thing going on where survivor!zam keeps dying and turning into killer!zam #while killer!zam keeps running on heightened emotions until the toll of killing himself over and over again gets to him and he gets voided #at least until mapicc has had enough and decides to teach zam to be better at surviving #as opposed to leo and clowns method where they just kinda try (and fail) to shield him #so survivor!zam is more visibly traumatized now but can at least hold off his own #killer!zam meanwhile doesnt get fatigued from killing himself over and over again and doesnt get voided #the entity allows this cause it inflicts significant emotions in the survivors lol
