I got the idea from a friend, thank you sable, that we may wanna put the characters history before Ebon...being Malice, as you may or may not know, i dotn remember mine, but im gonna put it anyways, just remember that i dont know it, im just putting it there for backround...

Malice History: Malice was born into a good family, a good name, a good reputation, but reputations never hold... His real name was James Moore. his father Jack, was an abusive person, to his mother, and to his sisters, and his one brother. James would stick up for them and get beaten himself harder, and was never thanked or proven to be the hero except by his brother who he didnt relate much to anyways...he turned recluse and decided to either die in this house, or leave. He went to the state, and filed a report against his father, and a report to be emancipated. So he was emancipated, and he went to live by himself, and he did for about 4 years in contentness. Then one day, at his cheap little apartment that he afforded off his weak salary, he recieved a letter from his brother. He hadnt heard from him in a long time, but he remembered he was the only one that seemed to care about him back then, so he decided to see what was up. He went to New York and to the address that he was given, it was a very nice apartment...He must have a good job, and he did, he was secretary at a very well to do buisness and had a wife, and a beautiful little girl named Lilah. His brother offered him a place in their famliy, and a back room in their apartment. He decided that maybe a family was good for him after all the lonlieness he had gone through in life so far, so he accpeted the offer. He lived with them for about 2 years in happiness, he loved the family and had a very good connection with the girl named Lilah, he understood her better than her parents did, and they often talked. He turned into a older brother figure for her, it made him happy for he was the youngest of his family and it was nice to be looked up to. She gave him a small white kitten, which he named Kittin, it was his best present ever. Till one day when he was sitting at home, and Adriana; his brothers wife, came home one night and James went out to greet her, and saw Jack standing in the doorway with a gun...he saw his brother raise the weapon and prepare to fire. He knew that she had been sleeping around, but didnt have the heart to break up his little fantasy life, he was selfish that way then too. She knew it was coming and didnt run, he shot her right in the face, directly through the right eye...she fell to the floor dead. James freaked out and ran into Lilahs room and told her to hide in the closet and take Kittin with her and not come out, then he ran to the window and down the fire escape and hid till night, when he went back to the apartment, and found his niece dead in the middle of her bedroom floor with a bullet wound to the heart, with his faithful gift from her Kittin guarding the body. James had never felt such sadness as to lost this girl he had loved so much, he picked her up in his arms and held her, while slitting his own wrists. He died there holding his niece while Kittin curled up at his feet and cried...

So thats Malice's past, if you see one very similar to the end, that because its the same place you'll figure out who easy enough, thanks bye...

Well yeah. Im doin the same thing as Zac. I dont know about my past at all. I wont even remember my name until Malice mentions it. So yeah. >> Im another non remembering one. SO yeah ^^ Just to let you know! xP

History Of Lust / Adriana ;

Adriana was a normal child who lived a fairly good life. Other than the fact that her father had left them when Adriana was only 6. Lilah, Adriana’s mother, didn’t want Adriana to have to live up in the environment in Michigan without a father to be there for her. So she moved her and Adriana to Texas. Texas was a big place and had lots of space and Lilah and Adriana really liked it there. Lilah even met a nice man from town that helped them out a lot.
The townspeople only had bad things to say about him, but Lilah though he would make a great father and could be someone who could help raise Adriana. So they got engaged, and they married when Adriana was about 11. Then it all went downhill. He had moved in and within a month he was rampaging around the house drunk, breaking things and beating Lilah and Adriana. It was horrible. Lilah didn’t like the bruises she saw on her daughter and so Lilah decided to get a divorce. Tim, Lilah’s abusive husband, didn’t like that all to much. So Lilah ended up in the hospital. Adriana happened to be out of the house at the time and didn’t have to be there when he let loose.
Adriana came home to find out from one of her neighbors about what had happened. So Adriana was rushed to the hospital to see her mother. Adriana lay crying by her mothers side for 3 weeks and when Lilah finally got out of the Hospital, They left. They just stood up and left, took a bus to Los Angeles with what cash they had in their pockets to live off of. Once Lilah and Adriana had made it to California, Lilah went to a judge and got a restraining order. And it went through all right. So Lilah and Adriana started a new life in the big city. It was going well. It was going really well. On Adriana’s 15th birthday Lilah took Adriana out to lunch and had a great time. But when they got back. Their house was on fire. Their were police everywhere and Ambulances and in the distance Adriana could see him…. Tim. Adriana hadn’t told Lilah that she had seen him because she didn’t want to move again. But that will prove to be her worst move.
She was staying at a friends house that were keeping Lilah and Adriana until their new house could be built and someone came to the door. Adriana’s friend Amy thought it was pizza and answered the door. Gone. It was Tim. He had a knife, He got a Amy on her left shoulder enough to make her pass out. He got Adriana slightly across her right eye, Mary, Amy’s mother in her side and Lilah…. Lilah right in the stomach. Then Adriana went black. When she awoke again she couldn’t remember what had happened at all. The nurse told her that her mother didn’t make it, But Amy and Mary were okay. But the all of the Name’s confused Adriana. The Nurses just thought she was blocking it out so she didn’t have to remember the Trauma even though Adriana could no longer see through her right eye. So they sent Adriana to therapy in Oregon. She was also put in Foster care because she had no other home to go to until they found her father. Which they did two months later.
Her father Harvey. He had a successful business in Los Angeles and was very reluctant to take Adriana in but he did anyways. He put her through school and college and then to a University and sent her on her way in the world. Adriana moved to New York when she was 23 and started her career and basically slept her way to the top. Which worked surprisingly well for her. She ended up marrying a nice man by the name of Mark and had a child with him. Lilah. She would have been 6 in August, Living with them was Mark’s brother James. James seemed to be getting along well with Lilah, and that made Adriana happy because she wasn’t around often enough to grow too many bonds with her daughter.
That is if Adriana hadn’t have been pressured by the president of her company for a position very high up that make a very substantial amount of money. So Adriana took it and he seduced her. Then it all ended when Mark found out. Adriana couldn’t face him after what she did and was so depressed about it. But she wouldn’t be for long. Because when she came home He was standing in the doorway. He had a gun. Adriana smiled and waited. Then BANG. And she was falling to the floor in front of their house. Down… down … down. Then it suddenly stopped. And Adriana became Lust.

Hmm. I was thinking about Sight, and about any significant roles he might have played in life. I think I'll write this as I go along...

Sight was born into an average family in Chigago, Illinois. His real name is Adam Leese; his father was Matthew, his mother was Deborah. After his mother died after giving birth to Adam's younger brother, Samuel, his father took the two boys and moved to Brooklyn, New York. Because of the lack of any true parental figure in their lives at all, the bonds between the sibling grew strong, and they were almost inseperable.
Though Adam never got a proper education in the arts, and never attended college, he was considered to be a famous local painter who made enough money with his art to pay the bills. He started doing drugs in high school, though only on occation, but his addiction grew. When his brother was killed, he began using heroine. During one particular high, he wandered out of his apartment to the nearby 7-11 at three in the morning. When he walked in, the cashier was being held at gunpoint and Adam foolishly went to his aid. He ended up making a mess on the floor.

Funny how he became Sight, though for the last fifteen minutes of his life he could barely see?

w00t. Pithy.

Hmm...I guess I'll do this too

Pain's past:

Pain was born Axel Ried Schneider, somewhere in Bayern Deutschland (Germany). His mother died while giving birth to him, ao he grew up with only his father, older sister, and cousin. He loved his childhood. Going to Oktoberfest (Though not able to truley enjoy it untill he was 16), taking trips to museums and pther places he could expand his intelligence, taking trips to Berlin and Frankfurt, he even was able to take a trip to America and visit theme parks and other liesurely places they didn't have in Deutschland. His father taught him some swordsmanship skills and his cousin, who was born under a Japanese father, taught him martial arts. When Axel was 12 his father let him start advanced skills like using real swords instead of wasters and letting his cousin teach him to throw shrukins and use scis. When his father passed away of cancer, Axel moved to America when he was 18. He was robbed after his first week but after finding out who did it, went to get it back. He found the man and managed to climb through his window and sneak up behind him while he was dozing off to sleep. When he saw Axel in the mirror, he truned and asked him to stop. Axel refuse and stabbed the man through the heart and stole back everything, right down to the last penny. He was then told by a friend of his of a man who was looking for someone of Axel's skill. A leader of an assassination squad. Axel then went to work for him. When he was 22 he met a girl named Tiffany. They were going out for two years, when she started getting upset with the fact that Axel would come home late then have to leave real early in the mornong so Axel told her everything about his work. To his surprise she was happy. She thought he avoided her on purpose. But after a while the people Axel was being hired to assassinate got wise to his skills and improved themselves to be able to kill Axel. Tiffany noticed Axel coming home with cuts and broken limbs. She demanded that he stop doing it. He told her "I have gotten us so much money it's unbelievable. I have one more job to do. Just one. Then I will have enough money to last us the rest of our lives and just have normal, even low-paying jobs. But just one more job for me in the buisness I'm in now." She agreed to let him go through with it. He was hired by a man to kill another assassin who had been trying to kill him. He fought him in a forest somewhere. After striking the enemy assassin down with a slash across the chest, he was attacked by the enemy's pet wolves. Five, maybe six of them. Axel successfully killed two but was mauled my the rest. He was torn up to within an inch of his life leaving the other assassin to beat what remained of Axel's life out of him...Axel cried as he had the life beat out of him, inch by inch thinking to himself "I'm so sorry Tiffany...I should have listened to you...But now...Pain...Is...My life...My name..." Then with one final kick to the head...He died.

Therefore he was given the name Pain in life after death in Ebon.

(This was a little longer than I previously anitcipated.)

Chaos’s past:

Chaos was born in a small town in Washington State known as LaConner. The place was a remote farming community based on hard stuck principles and glaring regulations. Chaos’s birth was not so much different than that of any normal baby; He had a smooth birth at the hospital and a nice delivery home a few days later. The only thing that could come close to being slightly peculiar about him at this age was the fact that he was born on Earth Day (April 22nd, for all of you who don’t know. It actually happens to be MY birthday as well). This will explain its own significance in time. He took the name of his father, Daraku Mitsuyami.
Daraku’s family was generally normal, seeing the type of town in which he lived. His father was of Korean decent, though he looked nothing of the sort. The many marriages to blonde-haired, blue-eyed American women had washed the Korean out of the bloodline. Only the Mitsuyami name could distinguish them from regular, junk-food addicted Americans.
His mother of course, was a beautiful American born and bred women, some form of Irish heritage buried deep within her family tree. She however had escaped some of the more “redeeming” qualities of the Irish. Her hair was not red or blonde, but a gorgeous, healthy golden-brown, and her skin was not snow white, but tinged brown and flawless.
Daraku’s sister was a few years older than him, but they looked nearly identical. Her long, shiny black hair flowed like the rippling sea behind her, and harsh blue eyes swiveled within their sockets. She was taller than most girls too, but stunningly pretty and very down-to-earth.
His childhood was typical to that of a normal young boy. He remained healthy and active and had friends at school. He and his older sister got along extremely well for a brother and sister. His parents loved each other and loved their children. Everything was going smoothly, without imperfection; that is, until Daraku’s sister changed.
When she reached the age of eleven, Talamai, Daraku’s sister, took a turn for the worst. Something within her had changed. She was no longer a joy to be with, as most people would usually describe her in the old days, and her heart became bitter toward anyone who had the misfortune to cross her path. She began to become extremely anti-social, and her hygiene started to slip. Her hair became matted, she was losing sleep. Deep crevices formed under her eyes and paranoia began to creep up on her. She no longer enjoyed the company of her little brother, and they steadily grew more distant.
His sister’s attitude change had a severely negative affect on Daraku. He too began to suffer from paranoia, and at times was to be caught talking to himself. He began to form an obsession for shiny things, and collected them like a raven. His obsession eventually narrowed itself down to objects like knives and swords, anything shiny and pointed. School began to decline for him, his work habits falling, but his social attitude remained in tact.
His parents however, became worried. By the age of 10, he was in with a psychiatrist every evening, attempting to uncover the secrets his mind was hiding from the world. He said not a word about her sister, for they hardly ever spoke now.
Though obvious that his parents had noticed the change in his sister, they did not do anything for fear of making her more distant with them than she already was. When they even suggested seeking professional help for her, she went out in a temper. She had given Daraku a slice across the corner of his mouth and many bruises before, their parents also getting their share through violence and words. Words Daraku did not yet understood the complexity of.
Talamai had fallen in love, at age 11. The man was 19 at the time, but she did not care. She knew that he was one that she was always meant to be with. He was constantly on her mind, and he didn’t even realize that she wasn’t just being a little girl, having an adorable crush. He didn’t even know how much pain she felt. She became possessed by her own obsession with this man, her true love. It turned her into a vicious beast, from the once sweet little girl she was.
Daraku and his family were forced to move, after Talamai had nearly killed a boy at school for making fun of the way she looked, and asking why she didn’t have any friends. She had beaten his head against the side walk 14 times.
They moved to sunny southern California, Daraku just started Junior High School at 11; Talamai was a freshman in High School.
Daraku’s social skills remained in tact, and he made friends quickly. As he aged, puberty brought him great things, such as height, and the ever surprising hormones. His knife obsession had never left him, but he had kept it quiet for a while. His move up into High School made tensions even greater between he and his sister, as hormones flared, and tempers were easily triggered.
They began fighting more frequently now, nearly every night. The severity of these brawls became so high that glass, china, and furniture was often at stake, along with the well being of the neighbors’ eardrums.
Daraku’s birthdays steadily ticked by. 15…16…17…18. He was almost out of high school.
The night of his death, Daraku and his sister had gotten into their most intense fight yet. The screams of the teenage boy and his 21 year old sister could be heard over a one mile radius. His parents were out. With rage, and sorrow, Daraku’s heart led him to the alcohol cabinet. Sticking one of his knives in the door, he slashed it open (for it had been locked), and snatched up a bottle of vodka. Chugging quickly, he staggered out into the front lawn, and down the street.
He didn’t know where he was going. All he knew was that he wanted to get away from her, and her attitude and her issues. He wanted to escape it all. He was drunk…so drunk. He didn’t see it coming, didn’t even hear its loud horn. The semi’s front end collided with him, smashing his ribs and causing them to piece both of his lungs. His legs crumpled beneath him, and his left arm smashed down on the asphalt. He did not die upon impact, but lay there, his outstretched arm empty, the bottle he had been previously holding rolling feet away.
The pain was so severe; he felt he could not bear it. Though, he didn’t have to, long. The blood loss was what ultimately made him fade. His eyes became blurry minutes later, and he felt a tingling sensation in his working arm. Visions swam before his eyes, the faces of people whom he could not recognize, but he knew he knew them. Steadily, the pain began to leave him, and he could feel himself drifting…becoming distant with himself…

It is not certain that Luck was once a human in the flesh, for she could have been a spirit formed by the imaginations of several sleeping minds. Her distinct gender and sharp consciousness, though, implies that she is a whole human soul.

You see, before Ebon, she was nothing but a vision that appeared in people's dreams, leading armies of blue squirrel-thieves, driving three-story buses made of silver, and preparing gourmet meals for guinea pigs. She strived to give people of boring or morbid lives a place of refuge where they could fulfill whatever ridiculous dreams and adventures they could think up. She had been wandering around the dreaming realm for decades before she was summoned to Ebon.

It's a likely guess that this Phantom of the Subconscious was once an eccentric young woman who no longer wished to cast her eyes upon the ugly conscious world, and so decided to take enough sleeping pills to make sure her dreams were never interrupted again.

[This will most likely be edited sometime when I don't feel lazy.]
