My Story-
Born of the void between states of being, I am a child of the universe. I was born from the cosmic fires. At the beginning of this lifetime I've joined a special man, allowing myself to be shaped by his dreams into the form of a male human and experiencing a spectrum of new sensations. But as every pure and raw force in the world, I've gave myself freely to him, who in returned torn my very own essence trying to make it his. In agonized confusion over the violation of my essence, I fled.
In time, my pain subsided and I discovered that I was unable to return to my natural state. Many years later, while batting a disease the Force appeared to me and offered to save me. I accepted, together as one, we became The Phoenix. Some time later, I fell victim of psionic manipulation. Unable to fully free my essence of the sinister side of my personality that was exposed to me, via the psionic manipulation, and with a human consciousness ill-equipped to repress it, my primal urges overwhelmed Phoenix, causing us to become the malevolent Dark Phoenix. Due to the limitations of its physical form, Dark Phoenix hungered for more energy. Eventually, with the aid of a powerful psycic, my personality was reinforced.
In this lifetime, I've been able to experience the simple beauty of existence. Until I encountered a world-devourer, who revealed to me the nature of my existence. Tormented with the knowledge that my desire to explore humanity had prevented generations of life from being born, I fled once again.
I was shattered into billions of pieces. Incubating in the core of creation known as the White Hot Room, the Force within me, was ripped back to reality by Gerardo, who forcibly reconstituted it. Injured, I fell in a depression, which lead me to realized that I am not alone, that all the people I've met, each star as I've reached are some of my missing pieces, and so I will merged with life itself fully. Returning to my reality, I set out to find my other pieces.
