Asylum

## Overview

Asylum is a living embodiment of the Universe he resides in. His mind is permanently damaged after a conflict with Ornus, the physical half of the universe's collective mind and body. As a result he appears to suffer from Schizophrenia. In actuality, he can think anything into existence, although the outcomes of his abilities tend to be strange and backwards solutions to problems.

## Biography

**Past**

Asylum was born eons ago, under the name Idis, in the center of the Big Bang. His twin was, Ornus, was born in the same instant, the two of them receiving inconceivable power over the universe. Together, the pair set out to create existence as it is, spawning celestial bodies, planets on which all life could develop, and eventually settling on a home for them to reside.

But all was not calm. Ornus was jealous of the ease with which Asylum could manipulate existence. The simplest of thoughts for Idis could become a founding principle of reality, while every use of his own power would leave him momentarily drained, and could have devastating effects on the rest of the universe if he wasn't careful.

Ornus wanted Idis to remove the limits on his abilities, so that they could truly be equals, but Idis wished for things to stay as they were, referring to each other as the perfect balance. Eventually, a fight broke out between the brothers. After a titanic struggle, Ornus struck a dangerous blow on his sibling. An unconscious Idis fell into a Black Hole accidentally created by Ornus' actions, that also destroyed their home.

When Idis awoke, it was millennia in the future, somewhere on the planet Earth. He had no memory of his past, or any understanding of his abilities. The fight had left his mind damaged, resulting in him being a completely different person. On Earth, he was mistaken for a Human suffering from Schizophrenia and was admitted to a mental hospital. Sometime afterward he took the name Asylum.

After some time in medical care, having stumped all medical science as to how he managed to do the things he could, he was discovered by Major John Pentecost during a fire that he, very purposefully, started. Afterwards, the Military took possession of him, providing him a home, and protecting the public from him as much as possible. He is viewed as a last resort, meant to avert cataclysmic events when all else fails.

## Appearance and Personality

**Appearance**

 While Asylum could take any form he chooses, his most comfortable form at present is that of an older teenage boy. He is thin and pasty, with bright red spiky hair that defies the laws of gravity. He wears a clinical-looking white t-shirt and grey lounge pants that drag the ground.

**Personality**

Asylum has a very happy-go-lucky personality. He is very positive, bordering on childish, in all situations. He also holds the concept of promises, or deals, very close to his heart. He absolutely refuses to break any form of promise, and he always expects others to do the same. His personality as Idis is mostly lost, but is can be assumed that he was very conservative about his abilities, as he did not want to alter his brother with them.

## Powers and Abilities

**Mentifery**

As the literal Mind of the Universe, anything that Asylum thinks and wills to be, becomes. He can easily exert his will on the universe without effort, however, he only seems to do so in the most indirect way possible. For example, if someone was cold, he might ignite a fire around them that doesn't harm them, but does warm them.

**Longevity**

Asylum appears to live indefinitely, not aging since the beginning of the universe. He also managed to survive falling into a black hole.

## Trivia

The entire universe in which he exists is named after him, excluding Ornus from the record.
