You are a being born anew to the Nascent Endbringer known as Echidna during the fight that killed her. Made of an uncountable number of artificial minds and forcefully fragmented shards of an alien god, can you be more than the monsters who made you?

[[SecondPersonNarration You]] play as Anathema, a disconnected series of minds- both human and those taken from the dead 'shards' that died within Echidna near the end. They are, essentially, a hivemind made up of hundreds to thousands of different distinct personalities, most sub-sentient. Due to their nature, tends to prefer a plural 'they/them/we' pronouns, insofar as much as they can 'prefer' anything. They're still searching for who they really are, or if that's a concept that even applies, being just as much alien shard as human mind. They're naturally honest, finding that [[BrutalHonesty deceit doesn't come easily.]]

!! Tropes:

*AcceptableTarget: Some players only want to eat S-Class threats, and people with kill orders.
*BioArmor: Blasto made some [[OrganicTechnology organic]] PoweredArmor for Anathema to use.
*Body horror: There is lots of it in the story.
**Anathema’s “egg” that allows them to resurrect herself. Anathema vomits it up, and the egg is a small pulsating form.
**Many of The Children suffer from this.
***Grasp had [[NoodlePeople arms and legs that were too long.]]
***”Lock” had mottled gray flesh.
***Unnamed Genesis Clone 1 was bloated, with a bulbous, twisted bottom half, and no legs. She continually oozed a muck that spawned small monsters.
*ChameleonCamouflage: Greenwhip, one of Blasto’s creations, can do this.
*CoolVSAwesome: A reincarnating immortal serial killer rallies some mad max wannabes to fight a monster that spawns evil clones.
*Cult: The Children are a cult of EvilClones who worship their progenitor as a goddess.
*EnemyMine: Everyone, heroes and villains, band together to fight The Children.
*MeaningfulName:
**The protagonist is a child of monsters.
** Anathema means “One that is cursed, disliked, or loathed.”
*MindHive: Anathema is, essentially, a hivemind made up of hundreds to thousands of different distinct personalities, most sub-sentient.
*Planinal: Blasto makes some of these as minions.
*PowerPerversionPotential: Subverted. Bad Apple is Blasto’s girlfriend. When she walks into the room, she sees a vat with a young woman suspended in it, and she assumed he tinkered up a biological sex doll.
*RoyalWe: Anathema talks like this, as she is composed of many minds.
*SecondPersonNarration: The story is written in this.
*SomeCallMeTim: Anathema’s name is shortened to “Ana” for casual conversation.
*SoulJar: Anathema’s egg gives her ResurrectiveImmortality.
*UncannyValley: Anathema is this.
*Together In Death:[[spoiler:Krouse lets Anathema eat him, so that he can be with Noelle.]]
*VariantPowerCopying: Every time Anathema kills a parahuman, she gets a “mote”. This mote can be used to improve a current power, or to create a new power similar to the original.
**”Grasp” had access to a pocket dimension/Hammerspace. The resulting power was called “Inventory”.
**Animos had Power Nullification. When Anathema killed him, they got “Interference,” an ability that destabilizes parahuman abilities with a touch.
*WhamLine: [[spoiler:Then, with unusual strength, Rey slams the knife into his own skull.]]
