History: Tokoyami was the result of mass death occurring from the Great Faraden War, a vicious period of battles primarily between both pure and dilute faraden groups. When someone dies, their energy is released slowly as they pass, including negative energy. Normally this energy would be quickly compensated by the other energies of the world, but with each death, from the beginning of the conflict, that energy took longer and longer to dissipate, to the point of becoming visible to the naked eye before vanishing. The large death counts of the quasi-genocide led to huge waves of negative energy spilling into the energy sphere of the world, as that energy could no longer dissipate and, instead, remained in the overworld. Come the final clash of the two sides, the loss of life was enough to reach the tipping point and the energy seemed to collect and act on its own, fueled by both the spill of energy from those lost and the large reservoirs of energy in each person in the battle. The angry, terrified, and lonely cloud of red collected into a dense mass, seeking solace for the emotional turmoil by absorbing Silas to calm itself as it collected soul ash to form its husk. It reigned over even the guardians and forces that came to intervene, though it was certainly weakened from the intervention. Confused, angry, and afraid, it fled in search of the elemental hosts and the guardian and force they kept. Its motive, however, is unclear-- does it want to kill the hosts so that the guardians and forces don't heal? Does it want to collect, absorb, and convert the power within the guardians and forces to dominate the energy sphere? Does it, perhaps, want to absorb the energy to neutralize its own? With every person is an explanation, but nobody knows which is the truth, if any.
