Anniversary of AW0005s

The Invention of AW0005 occurred on June 6th 166VY, and the company has tried to host a celebratory event around that time every year since.

In 197VY on June 8th, The Discovery of BNNUY02 occurred disrupting the normal celebration and throwing everything into a bit more chaos with the rebirth of Jason Jin. 

History

Prior to 197VY - Out of Lore

Prior to 2022 AW0005s celebrated the anniversary of the species original creation in November - coinciding with the approximate time of Jason's death in lore. It was often the main yearly MYO event for the species during this time.

 On June 8th, The Burrow merged into the rest of the Digital Realm and became accessible via the gates. While not a formalized event, it certainly brought crowds for nearly two weeks afterwards as the two people intermingled and became familiar with each other's worlds, customs, and general existence.

Out of Lore

June of 2022 was when Bunnariums and AW0001s were combined into the single closed species of AW0005s with an interact-able event as the two worlds merged in the form of a cookie-clicker-esque bot game. It was also the first initial opening of the lorekeeper site, whereas prior the species had used trello and google sheets to track the masterlist, MYOs, and banking.

After being reborn into the world for a year, Jason reflects on how's he's grown since he originally found himself in the burrow. Now he's regained the confidence to reach out to other companies and do the job he'd always done before, presenting new collaborations and concepts to the AW0005 community during the annual celebration of the company's inception.

Throughout the May small journal entries as written by Jason were dropped to describe how Jason had experienced the last year since his rebirth the prior year. We learn that he was born without a cooling pocket - later confirmed to be a corruption in his code likely due to his unusual inception as compared to an average AI. Finally shortly before the inception of the Spring Gala, he finds himself feeling at peace again, creating new things for the Digital Realm and his first truly unique creation, the Lovelace flower ends up populating in his cooling pocket as well, correcting the corruption in his code and allowing him to now visit The Physical Realm in an android body, allowing for new ventures with the company to occur.

The event starting on June 3rd of 2023 culminated the end of Jason's journey and see's the drop of Seasonal Traits for the first time, as well as Crossbreed capabilities. The event includes a MYO event, giveaways, and two GA Adopt drops, one set of cooling pocket only adopts, and one set of crossbreed adopts coordinated with our affiliates.

With Jason settled into working for the company publicly again, June went back to being focused on what it had been in the past - The Digital Realm government Council Elections.

Especially with The Burrow much more settled into it's relationship with The Core, the elections for all would be hotly contested, with many old and new comers alike up for candidacy.

The event started on June 8th, 2024, and saw the usual return of the annual free MYO event. This year it included a new submission page to make it clearer what would need to be done, and where to submit. It also saw the first iteration of allowing users to submit candidate's for the Digital Realm's council - one member for each District - and then users were able to vote on which characters should become council representatives. For the rest of the year Council representatives will get a few extra benefits (spoilers access, and inclusion in future event graphics to name a couple). The event also included a GA drop of 8 designs - one for each district - during the middle of the event, several design raffles, and the first year with the Event Trait shop where users could buy all previously released event traits at 500cc.
