History/Background:
Joshua Thomas had always been interested in the dark and arcane, including the occult and various other forbidden arts. By his mid 30's Joshua had become extremely wealthy, founder of a major telecommunications firm. His vast wealth allowed him to finally live out a life long dream of accumulating the most comprehensive collection of books on forbidden subjects. Joshua's interest was not a mere fascination or general desire to read about such topics, no, he wanted to perform some of the ancient rites for himself, to see if he could gain access to the higher planes of existence. He sought the ultimate knowledge. Then on his 32nd birthday Joshua performed one of the ancient rites that he had discovered in a volume on the mystical and magical practices of the 2nd century movement known as the Gnostic religion. These were a group of early Christians who were cast as heretics by the Church, hunted down and murdered-Most of their scriptures were confiscated and burned. It was rumored that the ancient Gnostic's held the secrets of the astral realms, they supposedly had direct contact with the divine. Such a task was not without its dangers, and Joshua Thomas would experience the wrath of the very powers and spiritual authorities he so desperately sought to contact.
Joshua finally gained access to the furthest reaches of the cosmos, the countless years spent mastering the art of astral projection having finally paid off. Soon Joshua found himself traveling through great vistas of time/space on his way to the realm of the supreme god, his journey would come to an abrupt end when Joshua was confronted by the highest power in the universe, The Unfathomable One.
Angered that this mortal dared to seek ultimate knowledge the supreme being cast Joshua back to the corporal plane, but not before granting the human his desire. The Unfathomable One put into Joshua's puny human brain the total sum of knowledge concerning the origins, meaning, and purpose of the concepts of good and evil.
This was far too much for a mere human mind to comprehend, this knowledge would alter the human physically, emotionally, and mentally. Joshua's consciosness had formed into two seoerate and distinct beings, one of pure light, the other of absolute darkness.
As the full knowledge suddenly sank into Joshua's mind he grabbed the sides of his head and screamed out into the void of space-No sound came forth. The humans mind pulsed as it began to glow with a tremendous spiritual blue light. From that point Joshua had lost all memory of what had happened to him, having simply awoken in his own bed-Completely normal.
