## **History**

Hollow's life was marred by a tragic lack of love and stability right from the start. Abandoned as an infant by their biological father, Hollow was left on the doorstep of an adoption center, only to be rejected time and again due to their unique cat-like appearance. Shuffled from one foster home to another, Hollow never experienced the warmth and security of a loving family. Instead, they became a catalyst for chaos, causing mischief to escape the painful reality of rejection.

In the depths of their despair, Hollow discovered a secret within themselves. Their ability to teleport and manipulate black and purple energy brought a glimmer of hope, a source of power amidst the darkness that surrounded them. But this revelation only invited further torment. The other foster children, fueled by jealousy and cruelty, subjected Hollow to relentless abuse—pushing them off rooftops, inflicting physical harm, and even mutilating their tail.

For a brief moment, Hollow found solace when they were finally adopted by a caring couple named DeDe and Sprout, leaders of the nation of Liraz. It seemed as though a ray of light had pierced the storm clouds that loomed over Hollow's existence. However, the weight of political expectations and the suffocating nature of their newfound life became unbearable. Hollow, yearning for freedom and independence, made the heart-wrenching decision to run away, seeking solace in the desolate solitude of the woods.

Alone, haunted by memories of rejection, abuse, and the shattered dreams of familial love, Hollow sought refuge in the wilderness. The scars of their past etched deep within their soul, their heart heavy with the burden of a life filled with sadness and trauma.

### **The Rift**

Against the warnings of the townsfolk, Hollow couldn't resist the allure of the enigmatic rift. Encouraged by their steadfast friend Echo Echo, they ventured forth into the unknown. Little did they know, their actions would have dire consequences. As they neared the rift, a surge of dark magic engulfed them, unleashing a corruption within Hollow and awakening a sinister entity bound to Echo's very being.
With each passing moment, the drama intensified, threatening to tear their world apart. Yet, in a climactic showdown, Echo mustered the strength to close the rift, narrowly averting catastrophe and saving humanity from impending doom. But even as the rift sealed shut, an ominous feeling lingered, whispering of unseen perils that still haunted Echo and Hollow. Their adventure was far from over, and they would need to brace themselves for the dangers that lay ahead, their bond tested in the face of the lingering shadows.

### **The Decayer**

In the depths of tragedy, Hollow yearned for connection amidst the chaos of the decayer's looming threat. Ignored and rejected, he was kidnapped alongside other children by Locke, Dave, Baja, Scorp and the Meiji Mercenaries. Burdened by despair, Hollow even wished for his own demise. As the decayer's strike approached, Hollow faced the grim reality that someone he cared about would perish. And when Orphne fell victim to the decayer's actions, a profound and unending sadness consumed him.

### **After The Decayer**

In the realm where shadows danced with secrets, a boy named Hollow languished in a shroud of despair. Consumed by loss and addiction, he teetered on the precipice of darkness. Yet, within his tormented soul, a flicker of hope emerged—a quest to find the enigmatic coven of Anima Nova.

Journeying through treacherous lands, Hollow's path led him to a symbol that spoke of sacrifice. Drawing upon his courage, he spilled his blood, summoning The Elden Ones. Yearning to be free of the festering Corruption, he pleaded with them. Though unable to eradicate the dark corruption entirely, they offered him a lifeline—a chance to control it.

Bound within the sacred temple of Anima Nova, Hollow's body rested upon a stone table. Chains held him in place as a crystal, emanating a soft luminescence, settled upon his forehead. With its touch, he absorbed a measure of the Corruption, gaining newfound control.

Within the sanctum of Anima Nova, Hollow immersed himself in the arcane. Guided by the enigmatic members, he honed his magical abilities and forged a connection with his own corrupted essence. As the seasons whispered their secrets, Hollow's potential unfurled, and he embraced the power that surged within him.
