Personal History

Once upon a time, a brilliant but unmotivated sophomore at Purdue named Eli Lowry found a portal to an ethereal universe, at a location he'd heard about on the internet. He looked in, but panic caught hold of him and he didn't explore further before running home.

Over the next few months, Eli's lust for knowledge caught up to him, and he began fantasizing about what would have happened if he had explored it. He imagined a version of himself that did, a better version of himself that grew in his mind slowly and developed a life and behavior down to the smallest detail- developed into an obsession. Shortly after, Eli was put into a psychiatric facility, unable to tell what was real. Did the other Eli exist? Had the strange universe he found created him, or was he himself the imaginings of a version that had explored the other universe?

Thankfully, things settled down when he heard that another man called Eli Lowry had just left town. Pacified but still not sure who the other Eli was or the details on what happened the day he made the choice to leave, Eli left the facility and returned to his studies.

Meanwhile, far away, in another city, the thoughtform-copy of Eli Lowry began studying what he was and why he existed. Around this time he stumbled on the art of manifestation, and willing things into being. His creations tend to be small, fragile, and impermanent, but with practice, he intends to use his mind to create things around him, just as he was created. His curiosity and tendency to the mystic led him to the library, where he now studies joyfully.

Interestingly, the original Eli is now turning out some brilliant physics and philosophy papers, using science to study the link between matter and information. It annoys his doppelganger to no end that while they're both active and free-thinking, he'll never be able to use the full extend of his mind and best his original…
