in the beginning, there was only ouroboros. it symbolized eternity, the soul of the world, a being that needed no one but itself to survive. it enjoyed popularity and worship, appearing in myths and legends and even on deities themselves.

it returned in symbols once again, this time having captured the attention of alchemists. it doesn't quite understand what went on within the head of one particular man, however. a rumor about the philosopher's stone, claiming to be able to turn metal into gold, stones into gems and mortals into immortals surfaced, and it was linked to that stone.

though it was no fearsome creature, its reach extended across the world. its power was indeed sustained by itself, for the concept -- the idea of ouroboros fascinated humans. it spent years of its life as jörmungandr, biting its own tail to prevent the world from ending, and killed a god in the end. (everyone else died, too, for ragnarök had struck.)

today, it goes by j. ouroboros. it is a young man in his twenties, recently diagnosed with anterograde amnesia. it remains under medical surveillance, and works at a medical staff's family business in chinatown.
