The first ever recorded sighting of Tiny Astros was after the Convergence, a period of time in which entire civilizations and cultures disappeared overnight as waves of quantum energy simultaneously wiped them out across all corners of the galaxy.
The origins of this race of highly intelligent beings is unknown. Having been small and short all their life, Tiny Astros are often incapable of carrying heavy objects or walking long distances without taking a nap. Where they lack in physical strength, their intelligence and cleverness more than make up for their shortcomings.
As part of the tradition passed down from their ancestors, Tiny Astros are taught to harness their superior brain power and cleverness to build a strong and capable robot companion by the age of 12, to help them with everything from building houses, repairing spaceships and defending against dangerous alien creatures. With their robot companion at their side, they could help even more people in need across the universe. Each bot is also programmed to complement the unique personality of their companion.
After the Convergence took place, each Tiny Astro and their family drifted across different corners of the cosmos to help survivors of the universe rebuild their homes and each of them took root in very different worlds.
Many years later, a Tiny Astro was traveling planet to planet with their robot companion, exploring different cultures and helping native inhabitants along the way. One day they landed on the surface of a lifeless planet in Galaxy 458, searching for energy crystals to power their ship. While digging, they happened upon an ancient relic. It was covered in rust and gave off a warm, pulsing glow. The inscription on it described thousands of galaxies that exist beyond their own in which there were other Tiny Astros just like them. The relic also said that the only way to travel to these worlds would be through the metaverse. Having never met another Tiny Astro outside of their own family, the pair were over the moon with joy. As the Tiny Astro and the robot gazed out at the billions of stars scattered across the night sky, they wondered about what it would be like to one day meet others just like them, and what fantastic stories they could share with each other!
