LUCIFER LUCIFER

There are human souls that exist in the universe that Nikoli has labeled as “Splitters” and “Tender Splitters”.
These souls are incredibly rare.
But what exactly are they?
Splitters and Tender Splitters are souls that have the ability to create alternates of themselves that are known
as anomalies. Anomalies are created through the heavier burdens and grief of a soul that had
far too much to bear when they were alive. They represent and form from the deepest, most complicated
aspects of a souls being: their trauma, inner turmoil and more.

Anomalies seem to only form in the Nightmare and no where else.

The difference between a Splitter and a Tender Splitter is that Splitters anomalies arrive into the Nightmare at the same
time as their creators.
Tender Splitters anomalies form in the Nightmare before their arrival. It’s almost as if it’s a sign of what’s to come.
A foretelling of the creators doomed fate. A Tender Splitter’s anomaly can arrive within any timeframe.
It can be a week prior to their death, and can even be years prior.

Of all the mysteries within the Realms of Passing, anomalies and their creators are the most astounding.

Through her research, Nikoli has discovered the following:

Anomalies exist against the will of their creators. They will appear into existence no matter what.
Creators have no choice in the matter. Their conception is involuntary.

In most cases, creators only create one anomaly. But in rarer cases, a creator can create two and possibly
even more.

Anomalies often time mirror their creators in appearance but not always. Sometimes they take on different forms
that have nothing to do with the physical appearance of their creators.

Anomalies do not experience metamorphosis but CAN mirror the insect aesthetic. And they don’t always mirror the exact same
insect that is assigned to their creators. 

All anomalies can feel everything their creators do. They feel every emotion, share every memory, and
even feel the physical pain that their creators do. They are directly connected to them in every way.

Some anomalies have the power to bend reality to their will, which is rather dangerous.
And the amount of power they contain to do so depends on their classification.

The classifications are as follows:
Flower, clown, star, haunt, and the worst kind: shadows.

Flowers: These are the rarest anomalies as Nikoli has only ever found one, which is Mimmie. So far, she believes that
Flowers are only created by children. However, this is not solidified yet as again, she's only ever discovered Mimmie.
They cannot bend reality and hold very little power based on Nikoli’s studies of Mimmie. Their power is unknown.  

Clowns: The third rarest classification! These always tend to be more relaxed and level headed creations
that speak to their creators as “the straight men” being more sound minded and well adjusted. Ironic,
considering their “clownish” appearance. They often hold an unexpected amount of power and can bend reality to
a decent extent. They often are not aware of this.

Star: The weakest anomaly type. These anomalies almost always mirror their creators behaviors to an exact
T with no personality of their own. They are the second most common classification.
They pose no potential threat and hold very little power. They're some of the most common anomalies.
They're called Stars because they always emit a warm glow from their bodies. 

Haunt: A somewhat powerful anomaly type, but they have no true ability to bend reality to their will.
They are the most common classification. These anomalies tend to be reclusive in nature.
They don't like to be seen and follow their creators from afar while avoiding contact with others.
They are often void of any life in their eyes, giving a very off putting vibe to anyone who looks at them.
They are referred to as Haunts due to their shy nature and the fact that they always float and never walk.
They never speak. Nikoli believes that only the most reclusive and lonely souls create these anomalies. 

Shadows: Shadows are the most dangerous and unstable types of anomalies. They are the second rarest classification, and
tend to hold a dangerous amount of power. The only other anomalies that can sometimes match their power are clowns.
These anomalies have the ability to bend reality to their own will but often don't realize it. If a shadow realizes this, it can be trouble for
the denizens around them, and especially their creators. Shadows are also quite volatile and aggressive in nature.
Even if their creator is more docile in personality, a shadow will not be the same.
And if the creator themselves are deeply troubled, it will make the shadow that much worse in behavior.

The only way to destroy an anomaly is for the creator to be sent into eternal rest by passing a trial.
Otherwise, they will remain in existence for eternity. Even if their creator has succumb to the rot or reincarnation.
