History
- And this new life grew, and discovered that they were not really a boy, and not really a girl; and as it was the early years of the 21st century, they called themselves a Kid.
- —WikiLull Visions #2
After death, the soul of the August One passed thru the various veils and was reincarnated. This reincarnation's parents were among the vanishingly small number of Tibetan converts to Evangelical Christianity. Along with being queer, this left them in a deeply complicated spiritual position.
They became one of the world's most famous video game streamers, concerned only with fame, money, and getting more subscribers – until they fell prey to carpal tunnel syndrome, and all their videos were taken down for copyright violations. They sought to learn the ways of magic, to heal themself and destroy the dreaded Takedown Bots, and ended up becoming Occultism Kid's apprentice, as Kid Occultism Kid.
Publication-wise, they first appeared during WikiLull, warning all of the danger of the Deplorable Idolon and becoming part of the Cool Name Band to fight the power of Neme.sys. They continued on as a member of the vague assemblage of younger LNHers, involving themself in mystic and cosmic shenanigans.
When the Looniverse was in danger of becoming less Dramatic than the Real World, they convinced the cosmic Powers That Be to invest in the power of Comedy. This kicked off a series of events[1] that ended in their mentor choosing to experience something that wasn't death but wasn't exactly not like death, leading them to become the new Occultism Kid.
In the wake of the Catalyzation Wave, they joined Generation ?, helping guide the newest LNHers while learning more about the role they'd stepped into.
Personality

They are nonbinary and use they/them pronouns.
