Reflections of Anguish

[User is undergoing Rite of Awakening.]
Cast adrift at sea, Noah must recover from the grievous wounds inflicted upon him by Ronan. He must struggle to survive in a contradictory environment that never seems to change and simultaneously, constantly evolves. Tormented by his own helplessness brought on by the SYSTEM abandoning him, Noah must learn to fight and kill in this new world. The price of his previous inaction is apparent for all to see, written in the latticework of scars decorating his withered and frail body.
Will Noah come back from the brink of death and recover or will he allow fate to squash him into obscurity without even baring his fangs?
