Character Profile:
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
She is the phantasm that continues to inhabit his past - a clutch of memories never to be
forgotten.  When she appears before him, the world he had believed to be reality begins a shift
towards the illusory.  The illusion named Julia - her of unclear providence, unknown age.

Her tears, her smile, her perfume - never had he considered the possibility
of their loss - all slip away into the recesses of memory.
All he remembers for certain is her name, and nothing more; even that may prove
to be just a figment, another phantasm.
But for the moment he can not be sure.

A woman, who disappeared on that rainy day; a betrayal, by the friend
he considered a brother in arms; and flight, away from the organization that had
raised and nurtured him - by thus destroying his own past and her ghostly phantasm,
he 'died' a first death and was reborn anew.

Yet he subconciously continued to seek this truth, which he had
supposedly destroyed and had vanished beyond the limits of his memory.
For it is this very phantasm that defines the reality he lost, is his anima and his
sole embodiment of a woman.
And once again, on another rainy afternoon, in that selfsame place,
he will find his destiny.
