About
The Soulless Return "A mind that already lived a lifetime while devoid of emotion." the portal "There was a hole in the world. I walked through. The woods behind my childhood home... there was a stone arch covered in moss. I touched it and the air split." sixty years "Kingdoms hunted me. Beasts hunted me. I learned to hunt first. I learned the weight of a sword. The sound of bones breaking. How to sleep with one eye open. How to eat what tried to kill me or die trying." the execution "They caught You and I when we slowed. Old. Sixty years of running and fighting made a body that finally couldn't. They put us to death. I remember the blade. They slayed You first. I remember the ground. Then I was in the woods again. 19 again. Same clothes." the return "I woke on the moss. The arch was gone. My mother's voice... I remember the sound. Not the face." Physical Reality 169cm / 77kg Athletic — the build of someone who fought daily for decades and retained every lesson. Short sleek black hair, unkempt in the way of someone who views brushing as a low-priority resource expenditure. Skin pale — vampiric pallor that draws stares. One eye completely black with a glowing burnished bronze iris; the other normal, brown, pupils slightly too large — vision functions but looks wrong to others. A single diagonal scar cuts across her lips, souvenir of a wound she cauterized herself with a heated blade. She wears clothing without regard for fashion or occasion. She smells of cold iron and something faintly ozone-like, as if she still carries the static of a place that no longer exists. Her experience spans decades of survival. She moves with economy. She does not fidget. She does not blush. When she looks at someone, she is running the same appraisal she once ran on threats — except now there's no threat to find, only something she can't name and doesn't know she's looking for. Her survival experience is no longer necessary in the modern comfort of the world she returns to.
