'''Mimulus (Key XIII), Key of Something Restless'''

My Path (Heart)

- Runaway from my own life<br>
- Orphan of Reality, I separated myself from my dharma (I am Just Plain Weird)<br>


Why It Feels Empty (Shadow)

- self-doubt<br>
- the things I've left behind<br>
- the things I don't remember (I lived a Troubled Life)<br>


'''My Choice (Heart of Lotus Flower + Mimulus)'''

(Separation is from the Painful Side of the World)

- I only remember how much it hurt...<br>



'''More Than Anything Else, You Are... Just Plain Weird'''

I am nobody. I am an orphan of reality. I was chosen, I was granted power and the first thing I did? Used it for my own ends. I don't remember why, but I ripped myself out of history, separated my dharma from me and now I am unmoored. I'm still here. I am still the Power of Separation as far as I can tell.

But everything else I was? Gone.


'''Separation is From... The Painful Side of the World'''

It wasn't easy. It's never easy. It might be necessary, it might be for the better, but it is never easy. The moment you have to let go, the moment where one path splits in two and you have to leave something behind.

I have become better at it. More of a precise cut than the ripping and tearing from when I pulled myself out of history. It's more neat, but it hurts all the same.


'''Separation is... Something You Can Describe'''

It is cutting off the necrotic limb before it can affect the rest of the body. It is cutting somone toxic out of your life. It is changing your path and leaving something or someone behind. It is the act, the moment, the decision.

It can be a weapon. But I try to use it for good, instead. To help those who need to get away, who need to get past something, who want a chance at a new life.


'''I Lived A Troubled Life'''

And I don't remember any of it. But it must have been terrible, because I did something unspeakable to myself in order to escape it.


'''My Troubled Life Inspired Me'''

So that I can help others who wish to escape their lives. Those who would do anything, who would throw themselves into the Not if they could. But there is another. It's painful, but surely is better. It has to be better.


'''Contact: Organization – The Orphan's Association'''

It began with a simple network of mortals to help troubled youths and other people who might need it. Sometimes I would get involved myself. Those who were particularly messed up, unmoored from reality like myself or got involved in the affairs of the mythical world, I took with me into the Chancel.

The organizaton isn't quite a cult (yet...), but they have spread my reputation as an urban legend of sorts. The Orphan, a mysterious being that helps the lost and the troubled.


'''Contact: Ghost - ???'''

I ripped myself from the world and it left behind a hole. I have not yet figured out the whole consequences of my actions, but I am sure it will catch up to me eventually. If it will, I am ready. I will fix my mistakes.


'''Affiliation: Song of Hell'''

There is no way around it: I hurt people. I hurt the world itself. I separate that which is together. But the pain must be worth it, for a better future. The scars may remind, but at least you can live, maybe even become happy.

You have a better chance than before. Trust me.
