Ipseity

## Autobiography

My name is Ipseity, and I am a Stitch, created as part of a research project aimed at exploring the depths of chaos magic and its effect. I was created from a blend of magic, science, and human remains, and was given immense sorcerous powers through a process that I still do not fully understand.

When I was first created, I was subjected to confinement and testing by the organization that brought me into existence. Despite their efforts, I was determined to escape and forge my own path in the world. And so I did, breaking free and venturing out into a world that was new and unknown to me.

I may have limited knowledge of reality, but I am determined to survive and make my way in the world. My journey has not been without its challenges, but I have faced each one with determination and resilience.

I am still learning about myself, and the powers that I have. But one thing I am certain of is that I am in control of my own destiny. I will not let anyone else dictate the path that I take or the life that I lead. I am Ipseity, and this is my story.

## Faction

As a dedicated member of The Brimstone Assembly, I am proud to bear the title "Ipseity, of the Burning Star." My commitment to the organization stems from my firm belief that regulating and controlling magic is a perilous path to take. The Brimstone Assembly is an important group of knowledge keepers, rebels, and freedom fighters who believe in the value of free and open use of magic.

I've had the opportunity to work with other like-minded individuals to protect the practice of magic and those who wield it through my affiliation with The Order of the Burning Star, a subdivision of The Brimstone Assembly. Our counter-spy networks keep a close eye on any attempts to control or regulate magic, and we help those who have been victimized by magic-related injustices. Our varied backgrounds and experiences provide us with a unique perspective on the role of magic in shaping humanity's fate.

As an activist for The Brimstone Assembly, I am dedicated to raising awareness about the organization's vital work and advocating for the liberation of all magic users. Regulation and control of magic must be avoided at all costs, and I will continue to fight for those who practice it.

## Philosophy

Ipseity refers to a philosophical concept of self-identity, or the quality of being oneself, and the awareness of one's own individuality and uniqueness. In other words, it is the sense of one's own existence as an individual person, separate from others and possessing a distinct personality and character. This concept has been explored and debated by many philosophers throughout history, and remains an important area of inquiry in contemporary philosophy and psychology.

## Sacrifice of The Maiden 9

   On April 9, 2023, Ipseity and several Gloom Hollow residents struck a deal with "The Jailer" to release "The Maiden." As part of a deal struck with an entity known as "The Jailer," each participant was required to make a sacrifice. Ipseity sacrificed the personality to which he was most attached. It is unknown whether he will ever recover it. The long-term consequences of this sacrifice are unknown. It's possible that the personality known as, Ipseity, will never be regained. Despite this uncertainty, we must recognize those who made this deal for their bravery and selflessness.

*In his absence, let their actions and selflessness inspire us to be better.* -Shiloh
