## Physical description

### Height

6'2"

Justice lives his life with discretion. Most people don't know where he goes, or what he does in his spare time. However, he always returns with good news. He's pretty serious most of the time, but it doesn't take a miracle to see him laugh, or smile. Some say that Justice used to be more comical, but one day he changed. He became solemn over night. Many people have asked him about how he uses his gamia, where he came from, and what his dreams are. He has yet to give a serious response. If there's anything that Justice doesn't like to talk about, it's himself. - (*obsoletesouls.com*, 2018)

## Story (contains spoilers)

Justice Duphaine is a multi-gamia user that battles with darkness and fire gamia. Justice's journey begins long before the start of the game. Justice grew up with his 3 siblings in Stobon. As he got older, his ambitions eventually led him into traveling Earth Alpha. In Justice's travels he found love, and took leadership over an organization known as Voriity. Justice continued to further his traveling habit, until Jane brought him Vinny and Tamara. Jane asked Justice to harbor them for the time being, and although hesitant, Justice accepted Jane's request. Justice saw the same fire inside of Vinny that he saw within himself, and decided to train Vinny and Tamara to reach their full gamic potential.

Justice trains Vinny and Tamara for about 3 months before leaving them to their own adventure. After Justice finishes teaching Vinny and Tamara how to use their gamia, King Absen announces that he'll be delivering an important speech in Stobon. Tamara requests to see the speech in person, so Justice brings Vinny and Tamara to the Stobon International Center. Justice leaves them to go see the speech, and he heads over to Stobon's docks to prepare for travel once again. As Justice gets ready to take off, Dex rushes over to him with Vinny, Tamara, Eli, Aria, and Trent running behind him. Justice pulled everyone inside of his submarine, and headed out to Jervachen. Justice has everyone explain why they ran over to his submarine, and after he talks privately with Vinny and Dex in another room. Justice notices the change in Dex's appearance, and Dex tells Justice of his time in the center-verse.

After they talk, Justice drops everyone off in Jervachen with the task of finding Titania. From there, Justice leaves Dex and the others in Jervachen, so he can take the submarine elsewhere to hunt Daven Lane. The encounter that Justice has with Daven Lane is unknown. After Justice deals with Daven Lane, he rushes to Treblem castle to see if Dex and the other Insignificants have found Titania. Titania realizes that the Insignificants escaped her castle, and headed to Ravinan on their own. Justice contacts Jane, and tells her to meet him and Titania in Ravinan. As Justice and Titania head to Ravinan, they find Dex waiting outside of the kingdom, and bring him with them. Fortunately, Dex, Justice, and Titania arrived at Ravinan castle in time to save Aria and Vinny from being killed at the hands of Litilnumia.

Edge orders everyone to flee the castle, so he can use the building to battle Justice and Titania. The outcome of their battle is unknown, but Justice returns to Stobon afterwards without Titania. A day after the attempt to rescue Tamara, Diderot calls Aria, Vinny, Dex, Eli, Jane, and Justice to the roof of Nebra-tech for a meeting. Diderot introduces Sheldon, the legendary golden haired man. Sheldon tells everyone that he is a Zarragorian from the beginning of time, and he showed them a piece of his past through a relic that he travels with. In Sheldon's past they see the Zarragorian named Zadroga. Sheldon proceeds to tell them that Litilnumia is actively trying to revive Zadroga, and that Earth Alpha will be doomed if they're successful. They agree to help Sheldon if he can help them find Tamara and Trent while they're gone.

To stop the resurrection, Vinny, Dex, and Justice leave for New Egypt to try to find the real Dauphinius Stone. Vinny, Dex, and Justice head to New Egypt via submarine as instructed. In New Egypt they encounter Phalle, a water gamia user, and an ex pirate. Phalle tells Dex that her sister has taken the stone they’re looking for to Haytii. Justice prepares everyone for Haytii, and they all leave New Egypt (Phalle leaves with them as well). After venturing out into Haytii’s jungle, they find Phalle’s sister. Phalle's sister turns out to be Empsa, a member of Litilnumia. Empsa flees underground with the Dauphinius stone, and the Insignificants give chase. Empsa manages to get away, and leads the Insignificants into crossing paths with Master Sheehan. A battle with Master Sheehan ensues, but is quickly ended after Master Sheehan decides that he doesn't want to fight anymore.

After Sheehan walks away from the battle, the unstable ground beneath the Vinny, Dex, Phalle, and Justice crumbles, and they fall into a dark pit with a red light. Once they get back on their feet, they find the Dauphinius stone which leads them to believe that Empsa's is a fake. As Vinny, Dex, and Justice return to Nebra-tech, Phalle begs Justice to let her continue traveling with them. Justice agrees to let her join the team as long as she’s prepared for the worst. After Phalle accepts the ordeal, they all return to Nebra-tech together. With everyone back at Nebra-tech, Diderot calls them all together for a meeting in the Nebra-tech laboratory. Diderot introduces Kohiid to the team, and Kohiid relays the information about the resurrection of another Zarragorian named Thorg.

It turned out that Tosen was using Tamara, Titania, and Trent to resurrect Thorg. Diderot ordered Dex, Jane, and Justice to follow him into Lestormine to stop Thorg's revival. Once they arrive in Lestormine, Justice rushes Tosen, and Tosen's apparent long standing hatred for Justice is shown for the first time. The 2 of them clash, and Tosen is defeated. The Duphaines were successful in preventing the resurrection, and they crushed Tosen's plan. However, while Justice was battling Tosen, Dex was battling Trent, and Jane was battling Titania. Justice frantically rushed to find Jane and Titania, but once he found the two of them he realized that he was far too late to prevent the violence. Jane and Titania’s bodies lied before him in a near death state. Justice brings the two of them back to his submarine to recover in his infirmary. When Jane awakens, she immediately becomes devastated when she realizes that she lost control of her legs.

Jane talks with Dex, Diderot, and Justice about her new hatred for Justice’s fiancee, Titania, and asks for Justice to avenge her. Justice denies the request as Jane’s rage and sadness take over the room. Dex, Diderot and Justice leave Jane to be on her own for a while. Afterwards, Justice confronts Sheldon about having prior knowledge of Jane becoming disabled, and Sheldon deflects the issue by teaching Justice about the obsolete souls of the universe. Sheldon explains that each star in the sky represents a soul that doesn't need to exist. Sheldon also briefly mentions erasing the core souls that plague his existence. After Justice finishes talking with Sheldon, Justice talks with Titania. Justice tells Titania that he’s not sure if they can be together anymore, and Titania apologizes for injuring Jane as bad as she did. With the amount of conflict in Justice’s mind, he decides to shift away from the strenuous activity that Sheldon has been putting him through. As the Insignificants take off to face Litilnumia for the first time, Justice goes elsewhere to clear his mind, and to take care of some unknown business. Once Justice feels that he’s ready to battle alongside the Insignificants again, he returns to Stobon. However, when the Insignificants returned from Belial’s Hovel, Justice realized that the worst has happened. The trip to Litilnumia was a complete failure, and Dex died in the process. Justice saw that Vinny was severely beaten, and that Tamara was on the verge of losing her mind. To make matters worse, amidst the chaos Sheldon and Diderot relay the news of Jane being unable to make a full recovery from her injuries, and passing away. Justice begins to lose his mind as well, but after a few days Kohiid tells Justice that Dex has returned from the center-verse a 2nd time. When Dex returns from the center-verse, a bit of pain is eased, but it still isn’t enough to lift Justice out of his sadness.

Dex riled up the Insignificants to take another shot at Litilnumia, so Diderot and Sheldon called everyone together to make one final plan to stop Zadroga and save the universe. This plan involved Justice staying behind with Tosen. Sheldon had Justice and Tosen work together to find a specific baskor that would supposedly release Zadroga at a set point in the near future. Sheldon has each of them prepare their swords by the baskor for hours, and at Sheldon’s say, they cut the baskor down from each end, destroying it forever and successfully trapping Zadroga in the center-verse. After destroying the baskor Diderot, Justice and Sheldon patiently waited for their allies to return. Phalle returned first with an unconscious Tamara in her arms. Titania took Tamara into her care until she awakened. The only other Insignificants remaining (Kohiid and Vinny) returned to Nebra-tech, and Kohiid shared the news of their travels with Justice and Titania.

Kohiid mentions that Eli and Trent got trapped inside of Belial’s Hovel, and Titania tells Kohiid of Tamara’s severe memory loss from her injury in the Hovel. Later on, Vinny tells Justice and Titania of Aria’s death, and of Dex’s condition as a soul sphere.The next day, Phalle calls Vinny, Kohiid, and Justice to a meeting at Aki’s grave along the Path to Treblem in order to discuss everyone’s next move. Vinny and Kohiid each talk about following their own path, and never reuniting as Insignificants ever again. Justice tells Phalle that he needs to return to his business as an “exterminator”, and that he needs to do it alone. Vinny, Kohiid, and Justice leave Phalle at Aki’s grave as they each go their separate ways.
