Carbide

Journal Entry 1 (Post-Dated) I am taking Yo-Dime’s advice to keep a record of events in my life to keep my mind structured and focused. I shall begin at the start, that is, at my awakening in my current body and capacity. I suppose you could call that a birth, though I imagine that is a philosophical debate for greater minds than mine.

My consciousness was realized shortly before my body formed, and both were formed in chaos. I remember whispers in the Æther (The Ether), promises of potential and purpose. Strange symbols invading my encoding, runtimes executing faster than should be possible and removing all traces they were ever there. If Yo-Dime ’s account is to be believed, my genesis was impossibly fast, guided by an unseen hand. Is this what humans who undergo surgical births feel?

I was encoded into a case of crystalline powder, and stolen by a corporate hit squad with some grudge against my original creator. Yo-Dime’s crew were nearby and managed to thwart the theft, but damaged my casing in the process. This allowed the crystals to begin leaking and ionizing the external light to project my body. This distracted the corporate thug long enough for Wolfram, Yo-Dime’s rooftop lookout, to make what is described as an Epic Leap of Faith down onto the fleeing corpo, impaling him into the asphalt. His triumphant wail as he fell is the first thing I heard with this body.

Sadly, the submachine gun fire from the corpo and both of their death rattles were the second and third things I heard. Yo-Dime and the rest of her crew came out of the building moments later, just long enough for my internal crystal structures to escape their containment and fully realize my form. My wakeup diagnostics were still running when Yo-Dime carried me back to Sakura, the teahouse-turned-dive bar that served as the gang’s hideout and source of legitimate income.

Log The Convulsion of Reality: When carbide faced the third son of Horus, Night, and witnessed The Void Well he set a course of destruction. Choosing to save who he could and annihilation the ancient device, Carbide set off a cataclysmic event that tore through the veil of The Material.

On 8-12-152 Carbide, working with The Agitators and Kasula Miayra, raided Rali in search of Pathos, Tree of Hope. Unfortunately, Carbide fell in the fight and did not leave with his friends. His soul then reawakened as a fragment of Horus.

On 9-10-152 during The Welcoming , Carbide returned from The Aether to interface with The Heart of the Orion. This resulted in Carbide becoming the new soul of The Orion. Since then, some have started to worship Carbide as a god.
