ABILITIES & BACKGROUND: BORN AS A POWERFUL EMPATH, NEPENTHE GAINED HIS NAME FROM THE DRUG REFERENCED IN HOMER'S ODDYSSEY AS HE EASED THE GRIEF AND SUFFERING OF THOSE AROUND HIM BY ABSORBING IT IN THE FORM OF MEMORY SHARDS RESEMBLING ICE. IN ADDITION TO ABSORBING PAIN, HE CAN ALTER THE EMOTIONS AND MOTIVATIONS OF ADVERSARIES, ASSUAGING THEIR NEGATIVE EMOTIONS, DULLING THEIR CONFIDENCE OR EVEN RENDERING THEM INCAPABLE OF MOVING FORWARD WITH THEIR PLANS. HE CAN DRAW UPON THIS ABSORBED EMOTIONAL ENERGY AND USE IT AS A WEAPON OR DEFENSE AGAINST POWERFUL FOES WHO CAN INITIALLY RESIST HIS NUMBING ABILITIES. NEPENTHE IS HESITANT OF INVOLVING HIMSELF IN THE AFFAIRS OF OTHERS OR ORGANIZING WITH HEROES OR VILLAINS. INSTEAD, HE SEEKS TO PACIFY PAIN AND TRAUMA WHEREVER HE FINDS IT -- BATTLEFIELDS, WARZONES, NATURAL DISASTERS, ETC. THE TRAGEDY: NEPENTHE IS ALSO KNOWN AS "THE TRAGEDY" AS HIS ABILITY TO EASE THE GRIEF AND SUFFERING OF OTHERS, OVER TIME, STOLE HIS ABILITY TO FEEL AND DULLED HIS OWN SENSES. FINALLY, THIS ISN'T JUST A SONG ABOUT AN ANTI-HERO. IT'S THE SONG ABOUT ANYONE WHO HAS EVER FELT SECONDHAND TRAUMA, ANYONE WHO HAS EVER LISTENED TO SOMEONE'S PROBLEMS BUT WAS DENIED THAT SAME KINDNESS OR ANYONE WHO FEELS NUMB AFTER WITNESSING CEASELESS SUFFERING IN THIS DARK WORLD WE LIVE IN. AND, ESPECIALLY, THIS IS A SONG FOR THOSE WHO EXPERIENCE ALL THE ABOVE AND KEEP DOING GOOD REGARDLESS. <3 <3 <3 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 I don’t hear anything anymore I don’t see anything anymore Everything is cold Everything is cold Everything is cold All dead leaves All dead leaves If you need to forget the memory Then let me take away your pain They call me Nepenthe And let me take away your pain Drink down your tragedy Just let me take away your pain Here’s the balm inside me Then let me take away your pain They call me Nepenthe And let me take away your pain Drink down your tragedy Just let me take away your pain Here’s the balm inside me I don’t know anything anymore I don’t feel anything anymore Everything is black Everything is black Everything is black All dead leaves All dead leaves If you need to forget the memory Then let me take away your pain They call me Nepenthe And let me take away your pain Drink down your tragedy Just let me take away your pain Here’s the balm inside me Then let me take away your pain They call me Nepenthe And let me take away your pain Drink down your tragedy Just let me take away your pain Here’s the balm inside me It’s better to give than receive It’s better to give than receive Better the numb than to perceive Better the numb than to perceive But I’ll hold your catastrophe Then let me take away your pain They call me Nepenthe And let me take away your pain Drink down your tragedy Just let me take away your pain Here’s the balm inside me Then let me take away your pain 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
