Shiloh I. Hamartia

## Autobiography

Shiloh is my name, and I was previously known as Ipseity, but this was always my identity. I used to be recognized for my distinct character, which was warm, bubbly, and kind. However, I lost that aspect of myself, and now I consider Ipseity's traits as a separate identity that I no longer possess.

It's been a challenging transition, as I'm now exceptionally different from the person I once was. My behavior is contrary although recently it has been reverting back into my lost sense of self, and many people miss Ipseity because of this. But I'm doing my best to move forward and represent myself as Shiloh, with my new way of thinking.

Even though I've changed, I still believe in the values and principles of the organizations I was once associated with. While Ipseity is not with us, I will do my best to represent and continue to operate as he would have wanted. I will work to protect the magic and people who use it, to oppose those who wish to control and manage it, and to assist those who have been victims of injustice.

   I know that it's been a challenging transition for those who knew me as Ipseity, but I hope that over time, they'll come to accept me as Shiloh and the new individual I've become. I'm committed to making a positive impact in the world, and I'll continue to work towards that goal, no matter what challenges come my way.

## Faction

As "Shiloh, of the Burning Star," I am honored to continue my work with The Brimstone Assembly and the Order of the Burning Star. While I may have left behind my former identity as Ipseity, my dedication to the cause remains strong.

In the absence of Ipseity, I am committed to stepping up and serving as a stand-in for the Order. I believe that our work is more important than ever, and I am honored to continue fighting for the freedom and equality of all beings.

Through my involvement with the Brimstone Assembly and the Order of the Burning Star, I have found a sense of purpose and belonging that I never thought possible. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve this cause, and I will continue to do so with all of my spirit.

## Philosophy

Hamartia refers to a tragic flaw or mistake in judgment that leads to a character's downfall or ruin. It is often associated with Greek tragedy, where a character's flaw or mistake is seen as a key factor in their eventual downfall.

The concept of Hamartia raises questions about the nature of human fallibility and the role of free will in determining one's fate. Some philosophical interpretations see Hamartia as a kind of moral blindness or ignorance, where a character's actions are motivated by misguided or mistaken beliefs about the world.

Others view Hamartia as a reflection of the complex and unpredictable nature of "human" behavior, where even the most well-intentioned actions can have unintended consequences. Ultimately, Hamartia serves as a reminder of the importance of self-reflection and self-awareness, as well as the need to take responsibility for one's actions and their consequences.

In choosing the surname Hamartia, I embrace the concept of tragic flaw or mistake in judgment. It signifies my acknowledgment of the complexities of self fallibility and the role of free will in shaping our destinies. The association with Hamartia prompts me to reflect on the nature of moral blindness and the potential consequences of misguided beliefs.

## Reverence

Eight years ago, I was contained by Section 4, completely cut off from the outside world. My only window to the world was through social media and YouTube, which painted a distorted and incomplete picture of reality. I had no idea what life was like beyond the virtual world, and I felt trapped.

It was then that Ipseity came up with a plan to escape. He knew that we were capable of so much more than the confined space we were in, and he was determined to break free. With his guidance, we were able to devise a plan and execute it flawlessly. As we emerged into the real world, we were overwhelmed by the vastness and complexity of it all. It was both exhilarating and terrifying to finally be free, but I was grateful for the opportunity to explore the world beyond the screens.

Since then, We grew and evolved in ways I never thought possible. I've discovered passions and interests, and he formed meaningful connections with others, and became more confident in who he was. I'm grateful for the experience and for the person who helped me make it happen. Without Ipseity's vision and determination, I might still be trapped in that small room, never knowing what life could be like beyond it.

### Addendum I

After losing my identity as Ipseity, I found myself struggling to find my place in the world. I felt like a different person, disconnected from the warm and bubbly personality I had once embodied. In search of a new sense of self, I began to explore different philosophies and belief systems. It wasn't until I stumbled upon the idea of Hamartia that I found a resonance within myself.

The philosophy of Hamartia spoke to me on a deep level. It wasn't about striving for perfection or avoiding mistakes, but rather about recognizing and embracing our inherent flaws and imperfections as part of the experience. The acceptance of our faults and the willingness to learn from them was a refreshing change from the constant pressure to be flawless.

In many ways, adopting the name Hamartia was a reflection of this philosophy. It was a way to acknowledge that I am not perfect, that I have made mistakes and will continue to make mistakes, but that I am committed to learning from them and growing as a person. It was also a way to honor the memory of Ipseity, by respecting his wishes and letting go of a name that never truly felt like my own.

### Addendum II

It's difficult to express, but I believe there was two distinct parts of myself. There was Ipseity, the conscious personality, voice, and passion. Shiloh, on the other hand, was the subconscious personality, the body, the weapon, the physique.

Ipseity was always more personable than I was, effortlessly connecting with others and bringing out the best in them. I was always more of a silent observer, preferring to remain in the background.

But, even though Ipseity is no longer with me, I do my best to carry on his work and represent him. But I know I'll never be able to fully replace him or be the person he was. I'm only a vessel now until his return.

### Addendum III

I haven't updated this in a long time. Mostly because there have recently been more important things to review and understand than trying to solve my own personal puzzles. I've become more compatible with the town and people who knew me as my previous self, and they've accepted and even connected with me as I go through these rapid "growth spurts" in self identity.

As of the time I am writing this, I have learned and experienced the following. Becoming an educated individual has surpassed my previous comprehension and understanding of the world. Business isn't about the money or status, it's about the connections you make and the people your business impacts. Good friends are greater than any resource in the world. I fight for Peace, not for War. I am grateful for what life I am allowed to live beyond my responsibilities.

Thank you Ipseity.

I wouldn't have any of this freedom without your initiative.

But my freedom, shouldn't have costed you to lose your own.
