More Than Anything Else You Are…
Something Cool
Ultimately, you are human, just so much more human than anyone else. You are like an allmighty innocent, destined to greatness on a cosmic scale, you have seen the grace and beauty of Creation, but… you don't care. Not really. Maybe it's just that you are still in this rebellious phase where you need to test your limits. Maybe, when you have the power to make your own destiny, you should just… take it?
So yeah, the world is awesome, but maybe you can make it even better?
Your Estate…
Is From The Beautiful Side of the World
You have heard of it, you have heard the whispers of the Excrucians, that the world isn't real, that it can't be itself, but… they are wrong. You have seen it. You don't understand Johannes, you don't even think that you really like him, but… you admire him, in a way. He was nothing. He should have been nothing. But he rose above that, he made something of himself, he recreated himself and become what he wanted to become.
He forged his Identity with his own hands and you think that maybe, a world where such a miracle is possible, is a world you don't mind living in.
Your Estate…
Is Something You Can Describe
You want to do what he did. You want to find something, you want to find your own destiny, forge your own Identity. You know there is something in you, some great fate that must unravel, some miracle, some power. You know you are real like few people are real, you know you could become a world in the nothingness, if you really wanted to.
But you don't. Maybe you are just mindlessly raging against the machine, but you won't give in. You want to decide for yourself.
You Lived A…
Troubled Life
Things didn't go well. Your brother died and you took it badly. You created Johannes, as a reason to cope and then… things just got worse. You don't even really remember what happened, you don't think you want to know. More terrible things. Behraka holding you in an endless sleep. Johannes getting you out and things going even weirder.
It has been hard, being a plaything of forces beyond your comprehension.
Legacy of Your Troubled Life
Trouble Inspired Me
But it doesn't matter. Now that you've got this power, you're going to use it, goddammit! You make it better. There is a Heaven, there is good in the world, despite all the chaos, despite of scary fuckers like Behraka or the Excrucians. Your have your destiny in your hands – you are going to do this!
Contacts:
Manufactured Army – Johannes and other Dream Beings
Johannes… was the first. A being sprung forth by your dreams. You have worlds within your dreams. You know you could make more, if you wanted. Birth unreal life from your dreams.
Excrucian – Scelto of the Provenance
There is this kid who always has her eyes closed. On some level, you know she's bad news. Your Estate hurts whenever she's near. But strangely enough, she seems friendly. What's going on there?
Affiliation – The Song of the Wild
There is this resonance in you, that only resonates with you yourself. Because you are real. Because you are you. That's what matters. No external force can control you, change you, it might as well not exist. Only you are a law upon your own existence.
That feeling? Like you are all and everything and could be a whole world, maybe? It kind of freaks you out.
