*Pan* is a character from the D&D campaign Stripan, son of Xenon and Azrail, and implied to be c!Bread's variant from the other world. He is not a character that can be interacted to within the campaign, and is only mentioned in scriptures that the party members can find.

## About

Pan is the son of Xenon and Azrail. He is referred to as the Child of Light, not only because he is the actual son of the God of Light, but because of his appearance. In the scriptures, it is revealed that he has white, glowing hair, just like his father before, but has colorful tips. It is implied that the reason why the tips of his hair started to change color is due to the possibility that he may be the coming of the new generation of gods. Pan looks more like Xenon, having glowing, white skin as well.

While the Seraphim were 'created' by Xenon, Xenon actually gave birth to Pan as a product of his relationship with Azrail. This made Xenon more attached to Pan, and caused him to bring Pan everywhere he went, even when he was out to work as a god. Xenon also brought him along everywhere as compared to the Seraphim, Pan actually started out as an infant and had to be taken care of as he grew. He aged like regular human beings as well.

His constant appearance as a child being carried about by Xenon had made him well-known by all mortals, and even had worshippers at a young age. The Seraphim, his angel-siblings, did not view him in a bad light either despite Xenon's obvious favoritism as Pan was a sweet child. He was loved by many.

Unfortunately, Pan passed away very young, in the ages 3-5 years old (human years, it hasn't been decided). His death was caused by his father, Azrail, who viewed him as a threat as there was a possibility that he could overthrow him, and may cause the return of multiple other gods. It was decided after the campaign that the only time Xenon did not bring him to work was when Pan was old enough to recognize his other father and wanted to spend more time with him. So, Xenon left him with Azrail, not knowing that Azrail would end his life.

## Other Character Variants

It is implied first, then decided post-session, that Pan was Bread's other world self. This is due to Bread's ability to deal critical damage towards Azrail during the fight, despite being a literal loaf of bread.

This decision was also influenced by the fact that Bread is also main world Luna's adopted child.

Xenon also knew that Bread is Pan from another world as he can see an outline of his soul, which is why he is soft when interacting with him. However, Xenon does not save him from his own plan to involve him in the death of his husband as he knows that Bread is not his son and can never replace his son. There is a possibility that other variants of Bread existed and had been in parties that came before the party that played the campaign. They have either died from fighting the Unlit creatures or Azrail, or Xenon had killed them himself.

Azrail also knows about Bread, and shares the same thinking as Xenon; Bread is not his son, neither are the ones from previous worlds. And anyway, he would kill them regardless.

Scriptures:

> "1: \*you find a scrap of paper taken from a story book\* The god of life’s greatest love is their own child. They have made countless creations before, like those that live on earth, and the seraphim which they made as the god of light. But their love for this child is much greater, much stronger.

> The god of life created a lullaby for their child, to soothe him into sleep. They gave this song to the earth, so that their child may be able to hear it anywhere he may choose to go.

Xenon Dialogue:

> *"You do not know what I’ve been through. That monster betrayed me. He took everything from me. He took my soul, my heart, my love, and so much more. All I have left is my body, and even it does not feel like mine. And I could not do anything because of that curse of a vow. What you did is kindness to me and to your friends. As what he has done is unforgivable, I will not ask for forgiveness nor will I ever see a better choice. You have done your part. Farewell, travelers. I hope the next time we meet, you will understand my decision."*

'My heart' refers to Pan, as Xenon loved Pan the most out of everything.
