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 a strange connection to the realms through their minds
that other souls do not typically possess. When alive, they are capable of connecting to the
realms through their dreams. Mainly the Nightmare and the Hollow.

They also seem to have the ability to create alternates
of themselves that are known as anomalies.

Anomalies are mirrored projections of the soul that creates them.
And while they often times look exactly like their creators, this isn’t always
the case.

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, unresolved conflict 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 do.

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.
They are one of the few things that leave Nikoli baffled in her research.

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.
Nikoli has claimed that at one point in time, she has even witnessed one creator in the
past, produce three. This has only ever happened once.
And this is something Nikoli claims she does not like to discuss.

Anomalies often times 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 sometimes mirror the
traits of their creators and their metamorphosis.
And they don’t always mirror the exact same
insect that is assigned to their creators if they do, either.
Much like how Lucelia is a moth, but LuLu presents as a roach instead.
Lucifer takes on no insect traits at all, and is completely void of it.
This is possible with many anomalies. It seems to be random. 

All anomalies can feel everything their creators do. They feel every emotion, share every memory, and
even feel the physical feelings like pain and pleasure.
They are directly connected to them in every way.
Every little moment a creator has lived can be remembered through, and projected
by an anomaly.

Some anomalies have the power to bend reality to their will, which is rather dangerous.
And the amount of power they contain depends on their type classification.
Anomaly type classifications were created by Nikoli as a way to distinguish
differing anomalies threat levels.

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.
If her research of Mimmie is true, Nikoli believes that flower anomalies have the
ability to sedate other beings around them into a calmer state of mind.
She calls this a healing ability, and has witnessed Mimmie do it to others before.

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.

Lucifer is a clown!

Clowns typically tend to look like clowns, jesters, pierrots, mimes and the like.

These anomalies are not the strongest classification, but they can become rather powerful if they
are given time to grow and hon their abilities. The more self awareness they
gain as they spend time existing, the more powerful they can become. However, their
capabilities do not quite extend to the same limit as anomalies like “shadows”.
They are, however, a close second. While they cannot bend reality, clowns can learn the ability
to connect to the dreams of the living much in the same way that Phanuel can.
However, unlike Phanuel, clowns cannot be seen in the dreams that they infiltrate. They are merely
silent and unseen bystanders.

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.
Other than being a handy “light” in the dark, stars really don’ do much else.
They are always loyal to their creators and will follow them wherever they go.

Haunt: A somewhat powerful anomaly type, but they have no true ability to bend reality to their will, either.
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 aren’t known for speaking much, but are sometimes known to communicate verbally.
Nikoli believes that only the most reclusive and lonely souls create these anomalies. 

Sadly, Haunts hold no special abilities.

Shadows: Shadows are the most dangerous and unstable types of anomalies. These anomalies are so
dangerous that even Phanuel fears them.

LuLu is a shadow!

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 but not by much.
These anomalies have the ability to bend reality to their own will but often don't realize it upon conception,
just like clown anomalies don’t realize their own capabilities either.
However, if they become self aware, they can grow their power and begin to learn how to use it.
And once this happens, it can be trouble for
the anyone and anything around them, and especially their creators.

It’s even said that in rarer cases, a shadow could even gain the power
to affect the realms as a whole if they are not
taken care of properly. And this is more easier said than done,
as the only ones who can really wield any control over these
anomalies are their creators. And in most cases,
Shadows will fight back against this attempt at control.

Shadows are quite volatile and aggressive in nature.
They’re often violent and don’t like being controlled.
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.

Shadows often represent the most troubling and unwanted aspects and traits of their creators.
They are the parts of their creators that their creators despise, feel shame over, and hide the most.
