Description
Young Jimsa is born a prince of the Cosmoralian Empire on the planet Astria in the Andromeda galaxy, son of King Itaka (Astralta III) and Queen Lilia. His birth coincides with an invasion by autonomous machines assimilating human consciousness and terraforming Astria into a mechanical wasteland.
As a newborn, Jimsa exhibits strong innate powers, marking him as a focal point of resistance against the invaders. These powers originate from a generations-long breeding program by exiles from the machine homeworld, Murat, who engineered the royal bloodline to produce a savior. Due to a royal superstition deeming twins a bad omen, Jimsa is separated at birth from his twin sibling, Affle. While Affle is taken into hiding by their nanny Tarama, Jimsa remains initially with Queen Lilia.
Following the machines' takeover of the capital, Jimsa flees with his mother. He grows up in exile, developing into a reluctant hero. His journey involves forging alliances with key resistance figures: Il, a cybernetically enhanced female warrior, and the enigmatic scientist Koof (The Elder). Through these alliances, Jimsa learns of his destiny and gradually accepts his role in uniting Astria's resistance.
Jimsa's character arc centers on his evolution from a sheltered prince to a mature leader. His growth involves grappling with his identity, the weight of his prophesied role, and the conflict's ethical complexities, including confronting his mother, Queen Lilia, after she willingly joins the machines in a state of controlled bliss.
A pivotal development occurs when Jimsa encounters Affle, unaware of their biological relationship. The twins form a romantic bond before discovering their shared heritage. Despite the revelation, they choose to remain together, citing royal traditions where incest is not uncommon. Their union is portrayed as both a personal connection and a fated convergence of their powers.
In the climax, Jimsa and Affle lead the final struggle against the machines. Their efforts culminate in their escape from Astria's destruction aboard a vessel. The story concludes with their sacrificial death near primordial Earth, where their bodies undergo a process of panspermia, seeding new life on the planet.
