In the depths of the city, a figure known as Lors, meaning "a doctor of souls," moved through the shadows, a silent observer of the chaos and desolation that surrounded him. Lors was the son of a long-gone mother and father, raised in the cruel hands of an abusive uncle and his wife. Locked away in a basement for most of his life, his existence had taken a peculiar turn.

The isolation and torment he endured in the basement led him to adopt a strange lifestyle, his mind fracturing into three distinct personalities as a form of coping. Lors developed Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), resulting in the emergence of three distinct personas. The first persona, Melchior, named himself "my king, my light." He was the calm and composed one, possessing exceptional intelligence that often guided Lors through difficult situations.

The second persona, Oswin, was entirely different, always striving to take control of Lors' actions. He held a vendetta against the uncle, desiring to eliminate the source of their suffering, and would only come forward when Lors found himself in grave danger. The struggle for dominance between Melchior and Oswin often played out within Lors' mind.

The third persona, known as White Wolf, was reckless and dangerous, taking pleasure in chaos and destruction. He found joy in witnessing things explode and had a fascination with fire. Though dormant for now, White Wolf lurked beneath the surface, waiting for an opportunity to manifest.

Despite his hardships, Lors possessed peculiar attributes that set him apart from other survivors in the city. He bore a deadpan expression, immune to emotions like pain and desire. His mental state granted him immunity to any form of illness, and he could endure days without food or water due to his resilient body.

With his dark, long hair, and eyes that mirrored the abyss, Lors' appearance was haunting. His skin, pale from the lack of sunlight, and thin frame due to malnourishment, revealed the harsh conditions he had lived through. The constant eye bags under his eyes were a testament to the sleepless nights spent in the basement, even after his abusive uncle and wife vanished during the inexplicable event that wiped out the adult population.

As Lors ventured through the ruined city, he sought something more profound than survival. His goal was to understand what it truly meant to be human. The complexities of his own fractured identity intrigued him, leading him to question the very essence of humanity.

He wondered if the three distinct personalities within him represented different aspects of being human - the calm and intelligent side, the vengeful and protective side, and the chaotic and destructive side. In this quest for self-discovery, Lors hoped to find answers to the fundamental questions that lingered in his tormented mind.

With his unique blend of immunity to pain, resilience, and an arsenal of personalities residing within him, Lors was an enigmatic figure in the city. He continued to explore the remnants of a shattered world, driven by the relentless pursuit of understanding what it truly meant to be human.
