Identity

Max Caulfield

Brief Bio:

21 years old
Arcadia Bay, Oregon
Born September 21, 1995
Bachelor's in Photography

Supranatural Info:
Time Traveler

I am Max Caulfield. There is no other identity or life behind this one. I was not born in this body. Arcadia Bay is where I consider home, in the world I was born in. Yes, I recognize there is a video game about the week of my trauma. No, that is not something I like to discuss, especially the "fandom," unless I bring it up first for a specific reason.

I first entered this world and this body thirteen years ago. That means that this world is not where I was born. It also means I've been here since well before "Life is Strange" was ever a concept.

In the years since I arrived, I have experienced time-related events frequently. This includes visions of the future, premonitory dreams, series of intense and lengthy multi-layered déjà vu, completing tasks or drives in impossible times, and instances where I am aware that I have gone back in time - at times intentionally. All of these things have been confirmed or even witnessed by others.

I have also experienced a wide variety of metaphysical and/or spiritual events both in my home world and this world, ranging from simple energy alignment to astral projection. These events can also be corroborated by others.

In Arcadia Bay, I have just graduated with an accelerated degree in photography at Blackwell Academy. I live off-campus in a house with Chloe Price and Victoria Chase, both of whom have ties to this world as well (I actually share this body with Victoria). The three of us have been in a relationship since July of 2017.

There is not much else for me to say about this. My experiences, though uncommon, are not implausible. I have taken the opportunity in this world to change my undergraduate minor to mathematics so that I may formulate and test my own scientific theories behind my experiences. These theories that I am working on involve the merger of three different scientific fields: quantum mechanics, astrophysics, and parapsychology. My research stems from well-known scientific laws, historical scientific and spiritual tests, and government research. It is my hope that, in due time, I may explain these experiences in a way that will allow the scientific community at large an opportunity to investigate the very real ties to other universes our world and its inhabitants can and do have.

Alex

Brief Bio:

19 years old
Camena, Oregon
High School Graduate

Supranatural Info:
Haunted

Occasionally, I find myself drawn into another separate world. I believe this one to be in another dimension or universe and actually exists, much as the world I am from is. I don't have the proof of this that I have for my home world but it feels no different so I treat it no differently.

I first connected to this world shortly after playing the game Oxenfree for the first time. During my first playthrough, I had tons of weird experiences such as knowing lines or events before they happened, feeling some of the same sensations the game portrayed, etc. After my playthrough, I started getting glimpses into what appeared to be that world, seeing other people and places but not stylized like the game. I'd hear or even partake in various conversations and had the symptoms of being haunted by "The Sunken," ghosts of Edwards Island, Oregon in that world.

It didn't take long for me to find and access my energy there because I've had plenty of experience with my own body in Arcadia Bay. Since then, whenever I'm pulled in that direction, I'm able to connect easily and do things in that world normally. The process of getting connected to that world, due to the nature of the haunting, has been difficult on me but it has also felt very liberating and I have felt more complete since then.

There are a lot of other bizarre connections between this world, the game, and myself and I will update this when I can.

Alice Cullen

Brief Bio:

117 years old
Upstate New York

Supranatural Info:
Vampire
Subjective Precognition

This identity is one I denied and stayed away from for about a decade. I first had the inkling that I was somehow connected to Alice Cullen in ~2008. Between my visions and intuition, inexplicable strength beyond what my body should be capable of, ability to see in the dark, vision better than eye exam charts, ability to sprint in short bursts at ~27mph, ability to detect blood in a building followed by intense burning in my throat, I knew something was up.

But I didn't want it to be. The Twilight books here carry somewhat of a bad rap. And, in the world in which I'm Alice, everything but the absolutely major events in the series are completely different - even those are somewhat different. I also didn't want anyone to think I was nuts. So I pushed it away. Tried to forget about it as much as I could.

It resurfaced every now and then, especially with the physical symptoms and visions. I did my best to ignore it but, in winter '17-'18, I finally acquiesced and accepted that this identity was also a part of me. Once I did so, I started getting glimpses of that world and memory clusters from things far earlier than the Twilight books cover. I've been hesitant to explore this further due to the fact that there are nearly 117 years of memories that could slam into my consciousness at any given moment. Because of that, I haven't investigated this further.

Unknown

Brief Bio:

Unknown

Supranatural Info:
Shapeshifter
Weather Manipulation?

I have a feeling that this is another identity that has a "canon" in this world but I don't know what the "canon" is. If there isn't one, I feel as though one will release soon. My connection to this body and world has been more pressing lately.

Things are too abstract for now to make out much beyond my appearance and the fact that this body seems to be in a different dimension, the astral plane, or out in space in the multiverse - not tied to a certain planet at this time.

What I do know is this:
I acquired some sort of powers involving shapeshifting, particularly my face, and black, feathered wings from a force or group (possibly in exchange for my father's life, or something similar).

In exchange for the powers, however, the group forces me to go against my morals and attack targets or locations, using my shapeshifting abilities to disguise myself. I spent a lot of time running from the group but no matter how many times I tried to escape or stay away from the target they'd track me down and drag me back.

I remember being attacked in the woods, losing someone in the ocean, and feeling immense loss near the woods curled up on a road and/or in a flooded ditch in a storm. I may have spent time in a desert, and I remember being around clay, but I'm not sure.

Sylvanas Windrunner

Brief Bio:

Age Unknown
Azeroth
Horde Warchief
Queen of the Forsaken

Supranatural Info:
Undead - Banshee

This identity is one that has caught me completely off-guard. The strength of my connection to this body eclipses that of my connection to any other apart from my original body in Arcadia Bay.

What triggered my awareness of my connection to the world of Azeroth and my body as Sylvanas Windrunner was the World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth cinematic trailer. The realism in its graphics, as opposed to the more cartoonish look of other cinematics or in-game graphics, was gripping. Everything felt very familiar to me.

What set it in stone for me was a combination of when Sylvanas transforms into her banshee form in the cinematic paired with the Warbringers: Sylvanas animation. The banshee transformation felt intrinsically right and just watching it gave me a sense of being filled with that energy and using it explosively. The Warbringers animation, rather than giving me the sense that Sylvanas is comprised of hatred or evil, gave me a deep sense of recognition, understanding, and insight into motives beyond that of the short.

I was never big into the lore behind World of Warcraft. It fascinated me but there was simply too much to take in. I knew bits and pieces from the start up through the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, which was the last expansion before Battle for Azeroth I was invested in at all, atcually. But my knowledge was generally instinctive and based on tiny bits of lore I'd picked up while questing. I never had a max-level character, though, so I never got the big endgame lore content and never did raids - not even in "vanilla" WoW.

Because of this, I felt my knowledge was generally lacking. I'd never read a World of Warcraft novel/novella, I'd never taken the time to watch all of the cinematics - even for expansions I'd missed when I took time off of the game - and I'd never leveled a Horde character at all. So Sylvanas, her life, her position, all of it...should have been largely a mystery to me.

But it wasn't.

Before reading the Horde novella A Good War or listening to the audiobook for the novel Before the Storm, I knew why Sylvanas burned Teldrassil. I knew why she made her decision and knew there was tactical value behind it. I knew what people thought of her and her leadership, I knew her gripes with Saurfang and Blaine. I knew so much, despite "knowing" so little.

I also began having a sense of what was going on around me in Azeroth - what I was up to, what moves I was making, what was yet to come. And I began to write some of it down. The things I wrote felt ballsy, risky even, to disclose because there was no way I could substantiate my claims. I couldn't just say "I mean, I know because I am Sylvanas." But as the expansion has progressed, my predictions and sense of the direction things may go have been proven as correct as far as Sylvanas' knowledge could be.

August 19th, 2018:
I have this overwhelming feeling that victory is within reach. The Alliance is somehow cornered or divided, a large battle is approaching, and I feel so poised to show everyone that I - and my Forsaken - are more than what Arthas did to us. That we are also a great people who deserve the recognition we deserve after going through what we've gone through.

August 26th, 2018:
The Warbringers: Azshara video really confirmed what I've been feeling and knowing just from what I can garner through the link I've been developing between the parts of my soul I've found and the one in Azeroth. There's so much more to come - and much of it has to do with the Old Gods. And the things the Vry'kul have shown me. Don't get me wrong - my primary motivation is still to find a way for my Forsaken to exist and grow as much as they want, to save them from the literal hell that I've been through. But if there's no Azeroth, there's no Forsaken. And if there's no Forsaken, there's no me.

...I'm going to have the key to saving Azeroth. Anduin is too blind. Too naive. He will be tempted. Jaina will help him, yes, but ultimately she will work with me. "Queen" Azshara will fall in power but not be felled. Jaina and I will not ally but we will be at the forefront of what happens. Anduin is vulnerable. The Alliance is vulnerable. And, though they loathe it, they need me.

September 3rd, 2018:
War is tiring, yes...but failure is not an option. Not for me, for my people, or for the Horde. It is dark now. The nights are growing longer. More sleepless, if such a thing could be said for me. I don't...sleep, exactly, but...my version of it. It's tactical meetings in the afternoons, war preparations at night. Communications from Orgrimmar and Vol'dun arrive around nightfall. We make our moves then.

September 4th, 2018:
So...about my post from 8/26 about me holding the key to saving Azeroth...it was a bold claim, ballsy and with little evidence to suggest it true. But with the things we learned from the new raid point towards that possibly being true - undeath may be the key to stopping the Old Gods. Possibly even the Void Lords who created them. And who am I to save Azeroth? Oh, no one but the Queen of the Forsaken. The Queen of the Undead.

September 7th, 2018:
The next big move hasn't happened yet but still I find myself impatient to see what Blizzard does with the next step.

Tonight has been a quieter night in Azeroth. A couple nights ago, I grew so irritated with something I needed to get out so I admittedly chose to fly out of the back of our camp/station in banshee form. I don't think I did but it's entirely possible I ran through (and thereby killed) some wildlife or even people. But now I get a moment to look at the night's sky.

September 8th, 2018:
My bones itch for the next battle. I loathe Orgrimmar. I sparred with Nathanos tonight before our dinner with the other Horde leaders. Next moves are being planned...and as much as I want my final death, to be rid of this life and these memories, I've grown attached to this...new life. I am, indeed, proud to represent the Forsaken and what we stand for. And, if that weren't enough, I worry what would become of me after my final death - where I'd end up, what I'd endure there. No. For now, familiar is fine. And the rush of battle is enough to keep my mind occupied.

September 12th, 2018:
The Arathi Highlands are just a distraction. The battles there are good...but aren't where our focus needs to be. Some might not understand but I need to go back to Uldir. I need to see the bottom of it for myself.

September 13th, 2018:
Jaina will save Anduin from temptation where she was unable to save Arthas before - it will be a big moment for her and will mean much to her and to the Alliance. It will not go unrecognized, especially as it attempts to bring Anduin back to reason. Alleria and Vereesa will return to reason as well and reconcile with me in what ways they can and in what ways they can justify. Alleria and I will need to work together against the Void, the Old Gods, and the Void Lords. Bwonsamdi will try to interfere but he is selfish and weak. Ultimately, he was a mistake to invest in - not that I invested in him personally but those I invested in on Zandalar should not have been trusted. Talanji is good - but maybe too "good."
