We pretty much knew Kirby and the Forgotten Land wasn't going to be properly post-apocalyptic, because while Kirby does routinely fight elder gods, they never actually get to succeed in eradicating all life, but I feel like Nintendo's workaround of "everything is deserted because a high-tech human civilisation captured an alien god, tortured its secrets from it, achieved some sort of post-human singularity and ascended en masse to a higher plane of existence, abandoning their uplifted animal servants to inherit the empty world they left behind" is kind of more fucked up than if everything had just gotten blown up.

🪻🦋 GENESIS. 🔮📋
kirby oc tournament entry.
“Lucky is she, who lives unaware, who doesn’t get bothered by all that’s unfair…”
PERSONALITY.
Genesis is a kind, caring figure haunted by a past only they remember- and it doesn’t matter too much in the grand scheme of things, anyway. They have taken on the role of a therapist, and their personality generally fits the stereotypical view of a therapist. Of course, they aren’t without their flaws- often trying too hard to reach a goal or blaming everything on themselves.
BACKSTORY.
Genesis is from the Forgotten Land. Or, as the residents prefer to call it, the New World.
Their origins are mostly hidden. I mean, you don’t really want to tell people that- well. I’m not going to tell you their secrets. That’s just rude. They’ll tell you when they’re ready.
Hopefully.
All I can tell you is that they have a strange connection to Fecto Forgo.
Oh, well, I’ll tell you a bit more.
Let’s see… I’m sure it was written down somewhere around here.
“Since it’s capture, ID-F85 has only shown activity once- it’s brain patterns seem to suggest that it is dreaming. But that is a fanciful observation, and we are not fanciful people. A monster cannot dream.”
— Retired Lab Discovera Tour, Year Unknown
The creature known as Fecto Elfilis had split into two- Fecto Forgo and Elfilin. The Ancients had long abandoned the planet, taking off to Shiver Star. Imprisoned, alone, unable to move and lost in a world without any creatures capable of thought- yet, they drifted. They dreamed. And in their dreams surfaced memories.
A land of dust and fire. A trickster magician.
A world of flora. A sorrowful spindler.
And their own great form, lost to the cruel experiments of the people who lived here, so desperate to leave.
From those dreams, came Genesis. A creation of stardust and love. They wandered throughout the abandoned land, watching as the beasts gained intelligence, and talking with them. When trapped in a collapsing tunnel, they met Elfilin, who saved them. The two then became friends.
They also met Gamma Knight, who landed in the forgotten land after [REDACTED]. Genesis helped them flee to [REDACTED].
When the Beast Pack was formed, Genesis stayed out of the way, recognising the work of their progenitor. But when Elfilin was captured, they followed Kirby from a distance, leaving behind Maxim Tomatoes and vanishing without a trace.
When Elfilis was defeated, Elfilin and Genesis reunited, and the former took the latter to Dreamland, where they both settled.
And they decided to settle on a rather successful career.
It had been a solid five hours since Kirby had started telling Genesis about the 'monsters' they'd fought, with Dedede and Meta Knight himself chipping in when needed; sometimes to explain their actions while the puffball had been defeating the newest threat to Popstar, sometimes to correct him or add a detail. But instead of getting frustrated or tired, Genesis had only listened politely, nodding as they talked. […] "Those monsters you fought... I'd be terrified, honestly. But you've survived all of it, and you're still here, ready to face the next battle, and that means you're exceptionally resilient. But life isn't all about battles." Genesis continued.
"It's pretty late, so I'll end the session here, but think about it. Come back if you need to."

Kirby: Manmaru Nikki (AKA Daily Round Diary) - Volume 5, Chapter 14 English Translation
~WARNING! THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE FINAL BOSS OF KIRBY AND THE FORGOTTEN LAND!~
Even the title page spoils it pretty heavily. I know the game is over a year old at this point, but I know at least one person who wants to play it but hasn’t yet so I figure I’ll throw the spoiler warning up to be safe.
Click keep reading below to see the title page and get a link to the chapter!
The final battle of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, manga-ified! Or, part of it, at least. There’s some serious tonal whiplash in this one, but it is cool to see Fecto Elfilis talk a bit more than they do in the game. This chapter was requested by a user because of something that happens at the end of it, but I don’t want to give away the surprise. What could I be talking about? Read the full chapter at this link to find out!
The manga this is from contains a multi-chapter series going through the events of the game, and this is the second-to-last one. As a result, it feels a little incomplete as is, but I’ll probably go through and translate the next chapter after some of my other requests. These chapters are shorter than the Mopupu chapters so it shouldn’t be too much of an issue.
