Void Self

Mysterious creatures who are believed to derive their essence from the Shadow Realm, a Void Self is a monstrous reflection of a specific creature’s personality that exists in absence of their "true self". The Void Self of a person that was kind and loyal would appear as cruel and treacherous, often in the form of a twisted humanoid creature.
The exact nature and circumstances of these creatures is highly debated, since the Shadow Realm is a place of nothingness, nothing can come from or survive the Shadow Realm. However, these types of creatures, along with Shadow Beasts, defy the scholars’ current understanding on the innerworkings of the Shadow Realm.
In 537 H.E Talio Heinrik theorized that the Void Self could be a magical paradox created when one reaches close enough to nothingness. Since if one seizes completely to exists, reality might attempt to fill its void by collapsing all other temporal possibilities on one being.
But more worryingly, he also left open the possibility that the Shadow Realm itself creates these beings, as an attempt to mimic anything that reaches to close enough to the abyss.
=== Appearance and Abilities ===
A Void Self has the same stats and abilities of the creature from which it originated, but possesses fragmented and fake memories based on the memories of the original creature.
It also takes the creature’s form and physique, but its appearance can range from a slightly twisted version of the original creature, to a completely monstrous and corrupted being.
=== Trivia ===
* The Dark Lads were an attempt by Mister P to create a Void Self of The Lads, but he never managed to perfectly create such a being.
