They said it was for her own good. They said that she wouldn't notice when her Joined was torn from her. They said she'd be more powerful without the distraction, but then she nearly died. And they had left her to the fates. Now she was more than ready to burn her own path.
She listened to them. Obeyed them. Gave up the one thing that made her feel anything, everything was for them. Now she wants her Joined back. She wants her soul back. And she will use all the skills she learned to kill their enemies and throw it right back at them. 

In a world where people are born with a being, often called their Joined or Soul's Twin, that is both the representation of their mind and their mentality, there are people known as the soulless that have made it their mission to destroy these beings and "purify" humanity from its dependence upon them. The soulless are dangerous, killing and stealing Joined, destroying those that would stand against them, and willing to go as far as to kidnap children to raise into their ranks. Clarity was one of these children. She and her Joined worked to trap and break other's Joined, snapping the bond and stepping back to let the soulless do their work after her job was done. She lived nearly two decades working to do as the soulless told her, until the accident. When she stepped to join the soulless once and for all, the separation broke her. 
And that was all it took for the soulless to leave her for dead, that was after shooting her several times. Yet she survived, cold and empty, and straining for her Joined to be with her once more. Now she's on a mission to find her Joined, and destroy those that she'd given everything for. With a lucky break from the law due to her knowledge, as well as her condition, she is joined by Investigator Paul Johnny and his Joined, Sebastain, and together, they may finally rid the world of this parasite. Either that or she'll die trying.
