Æ's Arrival
Your character, Æ (Ash), is a street urchin who has only survived because of the support of an anonymous helper. He has not helped you simply out of the good will of his heart, but because he knows you will be of service to him. You have recently discovered a sorcerous power has been awakened within you, and he offered to strengthen it in exchange for acts of service. Being unable to say no (as you are in great debt to him), you graciously accepted, shaking his hand - as you did this, you remember him recoiling quickly, as if from an electric shock, and then looking at you with wonder.
You know him as The Benefactor. And he called you Æ, because you constantly change your name, to the point where you don’t even remember your real name anymore (you barely remember anything else in your life either). You usually just use whatever name you think of first, and still continue this practice even after meeting him.
As he first awakened your powers, you vaguely recall seeing a rugged middle-aged man conversing with The Benefactor; you do not know his name, nor who he was. But you do remember that he was there, and he walked with an aura of authority, whom even The Benefactor respected despite the power he holds. He had a warmth in his eyes, but this warmth was not from a calm sunlight or cozy fireplace, but rather that of a dying star or the flames of hell - beautiful from far away, but deceiving and devilish up close.
