  “Until I died the first time, I never understood the value of a life. I never noticed how much it was worth. Since it is so precious, I want to let people enjoy it, but I will take from those I deem undeserving of keeping it.”
  
  Y Phenomenon- During the times pre-dating recorded history, three extraterrestrials had taken their first steps on earth. They apparently had no official names and so are referred to as simply “X”, “Y” and “Z”. According to information gathered, their species is known as the “Astralites”. The Astralites consider themselves immortal in a sense. Unlike other races which like to think of themselves as immortal, the Astralites do not preserve the bodies in which they inhabit at the time. Rather, they travel to another planet during the time of their expiration and venture into the body of the desired species upon the moment of their conception and the results of that vary between Astralites. So far, the most frequently resurrected Astralite known to be on the planet earth would be X, Y following behind and, so far, Z has not made any recorded appearances.
  The Astralite known as Y has, currently, only two known resurrections. Only one of which being of his own doing. It was said that his first reincarnation was an Irish private detective who went by the name of Irial Ó’Deargáin. This detective’s life started in 1780 and ended in 1805. His cause of death was self-asphyxiation by hanging. One quality which made the Y reincarnations different from the X reincarnations is the method of applying the Astralite side to the human side. X had always let each incarnation of himself develop their own personality by letting each persona lead their own life before making his existence known to them. Y had planted in his own consciousness at the very beginning so his personality was the same as it was in his first life.
  One perk of being born as an incarnation of an Astralite is the gradual development of supernatural abilities. For each incarnation, the persona would receive, at the very least, one ability similar to or the same as an ability from the predecessors. In Y’s case, the only predecessor to date would be his original body.
  For his second incarnation, Y was brought back by X via necromancy to help him face an enemy which he had trouble beating alone. Y was furious as he was enjoying being a “free spirit” before venturing back into the world. However, attempts at suicide on a later note ended up failing due to new side effects of the necromancy performed on him. One positive side effect also is that he no longer required any of his vital organs, aside from his heart, to sustain his life as the magic performed on him to bring him back from the dead made him fall into the category of “undead” and, as such, he needn't the same requirements of a living being to remain somewhat alive. He does, however, require oxygenated blood to reach his brain as a normal human would.
