The Five, explained

Due to mass confusion about what my 5 personae are and why the smeg they're all here in the first place, I will now explain about the Five.

Mr. Xarvox is me. Real life, the amazing mini-bishounen who makes jewelry and sells it for rock-bottom prices because he can't stand to rip off his friends. His main motive in life is to transcend illusions and he will always factor in the fact that nothing really exists. Recently, there has been tremendous upheaval for the better in his life, which leads him to believe that the apocalypse is coming.


Tzyver is the manifestation of Xarvox's rage towards the restrictive world around him. Donning an ornate robe and a breathmask, he throws sand (a metaphor for crumbling of things thought stable; sand is, after all, eroded stone) at things to destroy them, thus freeing himself further from the restrictions placed upon him by the illusionary objects.
His Broken Hammer (an actual artifact I have, it's a broken staff) has the same connotations as the sand, and Tzyver uses it during a convergence storm (storms represent great sensation or emotion) to destroy all of existence (achieving total freedom).
His recent duel with Xarvox was a result of Tzyver's need to decimate all reality. If Xarvox was to experience pleasant sensation, that would weaken the resolve to remove reality; and thus, weaken Tzyver.
Tzyver's defeat illustrates Xarvox's new acceptance of illusions, as they bring us both good and bad sensation.


Etzan Tzyver Daiz Burning-Sky is the final form of Mr. Xarvox. When Xarvox has broken through reality's barriers,
he achieves the status of Etzan, which is a consciousness able to create, maintain, and float in and out of reality at will. Most simply put, he's a god of sorts; but his name needs explanation:
"Tzyver" sounds so cool, I couldn't leave this guy without that name added on, although I usually just call him Etzan Burning-Sky. The name makes sense though. as you'll see.
Burning Sky is the apocalypse. When the big giant asteroid comes hurtling down and smashes life off of Earth.
Tzyver means "the breaking" in Xarvoxian (yes it is a language, albeit a tiny limited one with about 40 words...)
and "Daiz" means "of". So, Tzyver Daiz Burning-Sky will break the burning sky and thus prevent the end of the world.
He's a preserver of illusions. An interesting character, although nothing like Tzyver when it comes to metaphor.


The Etzan Ascendant is a character placed in some of my stories. He takes on many forms, like the entity "X" from the Xarvoxian scriptures' long-winded tale, Ages of X. He's just kind of there, and has little significance right now.


Etzan Vogavva is an Etzan, like Burning-Sky (hence the title, Etzan). Diametrically opposite to Tzyver, Vogavva preserves illusion and creates illusion... But he has a different way of doing the whole thing. He's as metaphorical as The Breaking himself. Vogavva, although rarely mentioned as of yet, is the feeling of benevolence that was brought in by that snowstorm on the 22nd of February. As Vogavva walks, warm air follows him (a return to the verdant times) and one sees green light (blooming life)in the dark cloud (the Void) that trails with the wind. In Vogavva's wake, simply put, there is summer; in his presence you hear the chirping of katydids.
Xarvox's newfound bliss allows for such a persona to exist, and Tzyver lies bleeding while Vogavva tries to grow vines and envelop the Destroyer. Unfortunately this is futile, as Tzyver may burn things even as he's wounded...
But he's weakening.



There you have it. Those entities may have seemed like they had no real purpose; no roots in reality...

But reality is debatable anyway.

...?

YOU actually confused ME! :)

So do you have five different personalities or 5 different allies?

"Personalities" refer to real life.

"Allies" refers to the digi-world.

here on the CPA I have my 4 major personae...

By your definition, they're "allies"; although they are more like moods than actual personalities.

None of them has broken past Xarvox in the "real" world.

Now that is very cool, I can see many a story made out of them. Good job.

Yeah, you weren't kidding: the explanation IS more confusing than just watching it all.
