## Starcluster Datapac

Oriself is the mind to Master Element's body, having been split due to his own tendencies of evil. With his "brother's" help, as well as the respect of Nuage, he mellowed out and became a friendly fighter. His own strength is seemingly lesser than his brother, but he has a more tactical mind and uses his magic to create all sorts of effects for his opponents to dance around.

Oriself was also a third of that fragmented hero's spirit born from an Elementite shell, originally manifested as the darkness within his heart. He is theorized by AnthonyM to be the catalyst that caused the split in the first place. Due to his more magical upbringing, Oriself chooses to utilize shadow magic to create darkness-infused elemental attacks with varying effects. These include dark purple flames, black ice, storm winds, and more. His techniques are known to sap the life force from their targets (or in the case of other fighters, their stamina) and add it to his own. He’s even theorized he has the capability to rip souls from their bodies.

Oriself usually prefers to be alone or with trusted friends, having very little tolerance for social interactions aside from those who have gotten to know him like Nuage, Endi’alu, Dreamkeeper, or even AnthonyM himself. He’s even formed his own clique amongst Sketch Arena participants called “The Twilit Ravens” comprised of rival-inclined characters who participated.

## Background

### *Heroes of Elementia*

Oriself's spirit was split from Master Element's spirit when he started to act on his own accord within the half-Elementian's body... primarily when he intended to turn the hero evil. However, what he didn't see coming was Lady Elementia's spirit performing a Spirit Shackle on him.

He was supposedly left in the dimension known as Quantum Limbo over time, although he might have stayed too long, growing attached to a plushy in the process. However, he knew the secret to reviving his "brother" Master Element and relayed it to AnthonyM after the duo had successfully freed Poi'xa. Upon doing this, he was revived as well, as the Elementian of Death, possessing power similar to that of a Reaper.

### *Sketch Arena Tournament*

During the Sketch Arena Tournament, AnthonyM appoints Oriself as another last-minute addition; the Guardian enlists him beause he feels like the ghastly half-Elementian could use a trip outside his own dimension, yet Zakonu theorizes that he and Master Element would become their aces in the hole during the fight against the Onyxum Twins.

### *AnthonyM and the Multiverse: Crossing Rifts*

Oriself's corrupted self guards the imprisoned Master Element alongside a corrupted Superen. When all three are freed thanks to AnthonyM and Lady Elementia, he helps the cause search for Mufog's whereabouts.

## Personality

Oriself tends to be more reserved and intelligent than his "brother" Master Element, and more introverted too, only seeming to have an attachment with Nuage. He seems to want to sit down and read a book rather than fight someone or do some heavy lifting. He was thought to be evil, but was just misunderstood.

He really does care about his "brothers" despite his reserved nature, and will usually lend a hand in any serious fights. On the other hand, he will always keep a promise he makes towards anybody. He has a darker sense of humor compared to others, and tends to laugh at some jokes others would cringe at.

## Relationships

### Master Element

While he cares about his "brother" due to the fact that they are bonded by spirit, Oriself can be easily annoyed by Mellow's goofier actions. Usually he's dragged along for whatever shenanigans ensue with them both.

### Superen

Oriself respects Superen and sees him like a father figure. The two have bonded over some nice reading and some light sparring.

### Nuage

Oriself finds Nuage to be the one person he cares most about. She instilled his love for reading and helped him find meaning in his bleak life, and he's grateful to her for it.

### AnthonyM

Oriself respects AnthonyM and is grateful he's taken up his lifestyle as a Guardian to help people. The two enjoy the ambience of the Starcluster from time to time, so long as there isn't someone trying to get in the way of the view.

### Shadus

Oriself can't stand Shadus. Despite the two forming the Twilit Ravens, they tend to clash on a lot of opinions due to Shadus's flashier nature.

### Endi'alu

Oriself and Endi'alu see each other as kindred spirits and will usually hang out together for the sake of it. Sometimes, the two can be found in a shady corner of a coffee shop.

### Dreamkeeper

Oriself sees Dreamkeeper as a bearer of hope, and as a kindred spirit to him. "A dream in a wave of nightmares" is how he typically puts it.
