Oho! Here I come with my angst gremlins.
For Addai, he'd been through a lot. He's an orphan who lost his family and relatives in a massacre that happened when he was six years old. He was the very last survivor and was admitted to an Orphanage his father left him before he died on the stairway. The only relative he still has had turned her back to him and he was left alone all these years. His story is very complicated, and the time I'll explain will come in Act II of the novel.
Ah, I made a comic for the Global Comic Awards about him and there are bits of his past hehe~
For Mine, he lost control of his essence, which his uncle had to craft a mask to make manageable. The mask worked, but here's the trick: when he loses control anyway, it activates a self-destructive process in which he dies to regain control and his human shell recovers. Mine died around six times up until now. Here's another trick: the mask sealed half of his powers, but also half of his soul and memories.
That's it for today
