Armistice Zine

Actually it’s just mine right now, but Will and Emily Marie should have theirs up here by tonight.

Keagan Irrer

Age: In Terran years, 9,125,692,586

Birthplace: Not definable in Terran forms of communication

Race: Superior God-like omnipotent being

Hobbies: Ultimate Frisbee, torturing my enemies, studying history, harvesting souls, playing the piano, conquering the universe to turn it to my satanic whims

Explanation: I was recently kicked out of my race for becoming too sadistic, which is impressive given that we’re responsible for most of the universe’s devil figures (although I’ve personally inspired about a third of them.) I had taken an interest in Earth in the past; my proudest accomplishment was giving you the atom bomb before you were really ready to handle it. So, the other members of my race decided to send me here to be a human for one of your pitifully short lifetimes. They seemed to think it would teach me a lesson, but if you knew what I did to the people I capture and drag into my basement you would know how little effect being human has actually had on me.

Here are some biographies written by the Armistice zine staff. We thought you might appreciate our unusual backgrounds. More will follow.
