Collector: all I remember is that I was some sort of scientist or engineer, likely the latter since two robots I made survived the destruction of my planet and were able to tell me a few things about it.
Some rich bastards wanted to make rockets the size of cruise ships to escape our planet's destruction, and make people pay thousands of dollars just to get on board. They didn't realize money would be worthless in that situation.
As expected, all of those rockets fell from the sky. On the exact day the sun was due to destroy us.
But there was hope: I had sent a robot into the cosmos with the genetic code on humans, meaning she could rebuild humanity on other planets, and possibly colonize several entire solar systems
So I did save humanity that day.
Then, while watching impending doom approach, I heard something enter the atmosphere. It didn't sound like any normal meteor.
So I get up, turn around, then BAM! Crystal right in my chest. Then I was sent through a portal to a strange new world.
