'''Eric Kozlowsky''', also known as '''Koz''', is a Developer Avatar created by [[User:GuyThatExists|GuyThatExists]] based on the Environment Artist of the [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii) Credits|same name]]. He appears in the [[:Category:Fanfiction|short story]] ''[[Fanon:Blank Slates 3|Blank Slates 3]]'' as a supporting character.

He was called to the [[Developer's Grove]] by [[Fanon:Joseph Tringali|Jospeh Tringali]] in hopes of stopping the [[Fanon:Jungle Creature|Jungle Creature]], which Koz designed. Koz tells him that the Jungle Creature had adapted to [[Fanon:The Void|The Void]] and that letting The Void go on wasn't a smart move. Later, during [[Fanon:Goldie|Goldie]]'s attack on the Grove, Koz used the [[Fanon:Stylus|Stylus]] to send the fighters to safety, which happened to be canon. He is later sent into [[Belleview]] by Joe, where he meets up with [[Fanon:David Franco|David Franco]] and [[Mike]].

Koz is a tall human with short brown hair and a goatee. He wears a grey hoodie, blue jeans, and black shoes.

=={{Icon|Book}} Story==
===''[[Fanon:Blank Slates 3|Blank Slates 3]]''===
Koz is first seen after [[Fanon:Joseph Tringali|Joseph Tringali]] calls him into the [[Developer's Grove]], and he immediatley walks into the [[Fanon:Control Booth|Control Booth]] to find the [[Fanon:Jungle Creature|Jungle Creature]]'s files in the directory. When he sees the files duplicating throughout the system, he asks how that happened, and Joe tells him that they had populated [[Fanon:The Void|The Void]], angering Koz. After calming down, he assures Joe that all that remained of the Jungle Creature was offshoots, and asks not to be deactivated. However, before they can continue, [[Fanon:GenericChallenge/Stories|GenericChallenge]] appears from the [[Wishing Well]].

After dragging GenericChallenge, [[Fanon:William|William]], and [[Fanon:Wilfred|Wilfred]] into the Control Booth, Koz and Joe interrogate them, and Koz learns that GenericChallenge had been bringing people and objects into canon, angering Koz again. When [[Fanon:Repair Guy|Repair Guy]] enters the Booth, Koz mistakes him for [[Rocko]] and storms out. After Joe kicks all the [[Raposa]] out of the Booth, Koz walks back in to talk with him and closes the blinds inside.

While talking with Joe, Koz notices [[Fanon:Hybrid|Hybrid]] and GenericChallenge preparing to fight, he uses the loudspeaker to tall them that if they fought, he would delete them himself. When Repair Guy notices [[Fanon:Tombstone|Tombstone]]'s [[Fanon:Droogle|Droogle]] army invading the Grove, so he tries to get the developer's attention, but they both shout at him to leave. After their conversation, Koz opens the blinds to see the Droogle army fighting with The Void's refugees. After brainstorming for a bit, Joe gives Koz the [[Fanon:Stylus|Stylus]].

As Koz runs through the Grove, he writes "Safety, without the Jungle Creature’s influence" on each of them, not fully understanding the Stylus' powers. After sending many of the refugees away and avoiding an ambush from [[Fanon:Goldie|Goldie]], he returns to Joe, who tells him that simply writing "safe" on the remaining refugees would work. Koz returns to the field, where he learns from Hybrid that the only safe place for the refugees was canon, and that all the other refugees were already in canon. Begrudgingly, Koz sends both GenericChallenge and Hybrid into canon and returns to the Booth.

After telling Joe that all the refugees had been sent into canon, Joe reveals that he knew, and that sending them to canon was always his intent. Koz is confused, but before he can understand, Joe sends Koz into canon as well. Koz arrives in [[Belleview]] in 2042, and he wanders into [[Franco Key]]'s record store, where he meets up with Nolan, GenericChallenge, and Franco Key, telling them all that the Grove was gone. Before anyone can remark on this, [[Mike]] and his son [[Fanon:Nolan Row|Nolan Row]] walk into the store, so Koz, Franco, and Mike begin discussing [[Aly]]'s whereabouts.

{{Quote|text=Hey! If any of you start a fight, you’re getting deleted!}}
{{Quote|text=Not now!}}
{{Quote|text=I’ve given you enough flack for this whole Tombstone thing, but just know that not even this was something I could’ve seen coming.<br>Do you wanna know what the Jungle Creature ended up as? Bonobos. Bonobos are doing all this to the Grove.}}
{{Quote|text=Of course there is, but the way this group is being taken over? We’d need to start deleting the people that have been corrupted. No redemption, and I really don’t want to resort to murder.}}

{{Quote|text=You know?! That was intentional?!}}
{{Quote|text=But what about the games? Having a bunch of characters and enemies show up out of nowhere doesn’t make any sense!}}
{{Quote|text=Then what do we do?}}
{{Quote|text=He’s not. He tricked us into letting him sacrifice himself. The Grove is gone.}}
