HISTORY
- Born into the Crowley Family, a relatively small sub-branch of the Oak Family in Penacony. The Crowley Family handles the stability of the Dreamscape, and maintains the chaos and unstable memoria from seeping into the revelries of the different Dreams. They handle the borders of Dreams going into what others consider nightmarish, and turn them into beautiful dreams. Another role that the Crowleys play is that they are the Keepers and Handlers of Something Unto Death, preventing it from tainting the Dream and keeping it from bothering the Dream Master.
- Despite not being Halovians, the Crowley Family maintained a stable and strong standing within the Oak Family, and is a well trusted asset in maintaining the order within the Dreamscape.
- Due to their often dangerous jobs into converting chaos and unstable memoria into beautiful dream materials, they often work with the Bloodhound Family who act as their bodyguards, and with the Nightingale Family who create constructs from their materialized dream materials.
- Devon "Diva" Crowley was born into this prestige, and his birth was a well celebrated occasion after a tragedy befell upon the Crowley Family that made them dwindle in number.
- For this formative years, he was highly sheltered and keenly monitored whenever he would go into the Dreamscape. Because he was a precious life, the Crowley Family ensured that he was given the utmost security.
- Had no siblings, but had many cousins who comprised their new generation of Crowleys. They were trained in the family's art of stabilizing, pacifying and converting the chaotic memoria of Dreams. Diva in particular was innately gifted in the art of pacifying and controlling memoria to turn it into the ideal material needed to construct Dreams.
- Despite the heavy expectations on his generation, Diva and his cousins were raised with praise and love from the Oak Family, who valued their powers and service even as children.
- As it turns out, Diva seemed to be the strongest of his generation, despite being in the middle part of the age range. However; when it came to education and decorum, it seemed that Diva was a tad bit spoiled by the Family in particular, and these aspects of his life were left wanting. He was not lacking in intelligence at all, but significantly lacked discipline.
- The problem with raising Diva was that it was difficult to not show bias towards him in particular because of his ability. He would often be singled out and be brought to deal with more risky and difficult memoria to convert into dream material. He picked up that he was treated a little more special than the rest, and he took it to heart.
- Regardless of the difficulty and nuances of his upbringing, it was easy to see that Diva was happy. Because he was happy, he became motivated to fulfill his duties as a Crowley when he grew older.
- In his teen years; however, he was a bit of a wild child due to being spoiled. He would use his abilities for stunts and risky entertainment to others as he had found ways to create spectacles out of his family's abilities.
- He would often get into trouble with the rest of the Oak Family, who did not help his case by letting him go with only a slap to the wrist. Even if the Bloodhounds reasoned that he needed proper punishment for his actions, they were shut down and made to give Diva light sentences.
- Diva also roped in his cousins, who wanted to join him in his antics and possibly create a name for themselves in this generation. Diva wanted to turn their abilities into a contributor to the revelries, and possibly turn it into a private show for those who paid enough.
- The only time Diva truly got into deep trouble was because he nearly leaked secrets about the true chaotic nature of the Dream to visitors, which the Oak forbade him to do. He was quick to apologize, and carried out the punishment meted to him if he was so loyal to wanting to become a part of this great Dream.
- Diva was actually none the wiser to the Oak's plans for him. They intended to take advantage of his happiness and his loyalty to the Dream. He and his cousins were not told about the existence of Something Unto Death within the Dreamscape, even though they had felt its presence.
- Diva especially felt its presence, but always chalked it up to chaos manifesting into something. He did not pry further since his punishment from the Oak Family.
- Deeming it the right time, before Diva could become more uncontrollable, the main Oak Family and thr Crowley Family agreed to force a marriage between Diva and Sunday.
- Although they knew about each other, they did not really know each other. So when the time came for the engagement party, Diva caused a scene that scandalized both Oak and Crowley Families, by wearing mourning garb to his engagement. He claimed it was a funeral for his youth, as he was going to be wed away.
- Diva actually did not really resist the idea of an arranged marriage to someone within the Oak Family. To him, it was a way to secure his position beyond his Crowley name.
- Although forced to marry very young, Diva and Sunday enjoyed a happy marriage. The Oak Family; however, ensured that Sunday report to them about Diva's behavior and his growing abilities. While initially this was no problem, as the marriage went on it became heavy on Sunday's conscience to use his marriage as a means for the Oak to spy on his spouse.
- Diva and Sunday, in the span of 5 years, had three children. Two daughters and one son: Remiel, Leliel and Israfel.
- Diva seemed to be in bliss in these five years of his life. He claimed that he was living a fairy tale, a "dream come true" for many. He was aware that his arrangements were not the most ideal, but he learned to make do and adjust.
- He would end up being the most powerful Crowley to date, being able to pacify the chaos in the memoria with merely his presence. However; it seemed that it was just more than pacification. He seemed to be able to control the chaos within the Dreamscape.
- This development was very important to the Oak Family, who seemed to be sensing a growing chaos that not even the Bloodhound Family could contain.
- The happiness of Diva's life was not meant to last. A few months after the borth of his son Israfel, a great tragedy struck the Crowley Family. Something Unto Death has nearly broken itself out of the chaos and into the peace of the Dreams, forcing the Crowley Family and the Bloodhounds to contain it. However; it cost the lives of the whole Crowley family to banish it into the depths of the Dreamscape, locking it away. There were no survivors, and Diva was only left because of his familial duties.
- This; however, caused a crisis within the Oak Family because of the sacrifice it took to contain Death.
- Diva was none the wiser of the existence of Death, and when he was told of the tragedy, his once happy life had started to fall apart due to knowledge that was never imparted to him.
- When he was told the truth of the tragedy, and what caused it, he realized he had been lied to, and his marriage to Sunday as a means to ensure his loyalty in case he needed to become a contingency plan.
- Betrayed and manic, he attempted to kill his children and run away from Penacony. He realized he was raised on lies, and was never prepared to face what was to come to him. It was because he was lied to that he began to question himself whether or not the great Dream he wanted to be a part of was something real or just a beautiful lie.
- The Oak Family seized him, and used Sunday and his children as leverage against him as they forced him into a coma where they locked his consciousness away into the Dream where Death was located.
- Diva would then be physically sustained with advanced medical equipment that kept his body from muscle atrophy, monitored his vitals, his brain activity, as well as sustaining him for as long as he needed to be sustained to maintain the chaotic memoria.
- Against his will, Diva was shunted to the mass grave of his family, and saw their bodies strewn along the space where Death was held captive.
- What was very interesting about the whole ordeal, was that when faced with Something Unto Death, it was initially hostile before receding into docility. It seemed to take an interest in Diva, and mostly followed what he ordered it to.
- For a while, Diva would seek out company of lost people in the chaotic Dreamscape, even trying to find solace in the Memory Zone Memes that wandered the space. However; his isolation caused him to break, as he began using memoria to form shadows of people he trusted, to have "company" to talk to.
- Diva would purposely try to wake up, but to no avail. He was trapped in the Dreamscape calling out to his children and to his husband, and to any who wandered the Memory Zone. He was alone, and his sanity began to decline.
- Years later, at the point where the Charmony Festival was nearing, Diva had grown into a deranged, bitter and cynical individual, who was left abandoned and with no closure to the lies he was raised by. He was surrounded by the mass grave of his loved ones and found company only with Death.
- Betrayed by the Oak Family and betrayed by the Dream, Diva unleashed Death once more into the Dreamscape, controlling it and making it kill whoever was unfortunate to wander into the chaos of the Memory Zone. In the depths of the Dream, Diva was unheard, his cry for help ignored. The only way he could reach out to the rest was to use Death as a means to send a message.
- It wasn't too long before he would hear a voice call out to him, taking pity on his imprisonment and asking him to kill the Dream with it. Diva knew, in his years of captivity, that the chaos of the Dream was beginning to tear at the seams. And his resentment, built up for the past five years, would be rewarded with vengeance.
- Desperate to escape and wake up, Diva did not question the voice speaking to him. He listened to it, and used his ability to create a more unstable chaos from his anguish and his misery. He wanted to avenge himself, for suffering a fate he didn't deserve.
NOTES TO BE CHANGED AFTER THE EVENTS OF PENACONY | DIVA STORY QUEST:
- After the Charmony Festival and the events surrounding the Watchmaker and the Dream, Sunday seeks out the help of the Trailblazer to "help him wake someone up." Suspicious of Sunday's motives and why he didn't ask the Bloodhounds, he ends up becoming manipulated by Sunday to be the only one to wake this individual up.
- The situation becomes dire when Sunday realizes that all three of his children have gone missing in the Dreamscape, and a wide search aprty is dispatched while the Trailblazer goes deeper into the Memory Zone. Deep into the Memory Zone he sees three Halovian children looking for their father.
- The Trailblazer insists on accompanying the Halovian children to a safer place in the Dreamscape, but they force their way through insisting on saving their father.
- Realizing that these are Sunday's children, the Trailblazer contacts Sunday immediately and the latter comes to force his children back home. However; they are too deep within the Dreamscape to allow the children to go on their own.
- The children find traces of the mass grave of the Crowley Family, and Sunday is forced to shield their eyes from the sight to prevent traumatizing them.
- In the deepest reaches of the mass grave, where Death formerly was caged, was Diva. Resentful and hateful, attacks Sunday and their children, believing them to be Memes from the Memory Zone coming to haunt him.
- When he realizes that these are in fact his real spouse and children, Diva breaks down and uses his abilities to bring the children to him, shielding them from Sunday and calling him a traitor and a liar. He tells the Trailblazer to stand down, as a stranger has no place in this business.
- Sunday tells Diva that it's time to wake up, and to come home. Diva, manic and angry, attacks Sunday and lambasts him for being the one who locked him up in this hellscape in the first place.
- Diva becomes a boss fight, and afterwards, he resentfully agrees to come home only because his children were around. He apologizes to the Trailblazer, the stranger who came all this way.
- Because of what happened years prior, because of his imprisonment, Diva knew that nothing would be the same and his trust in the Family broken forever.
