 a premise
Ayrestis Dysmornia, and his daemon, Condsyeria, are physical embodiments of different pieces of chaos and order.
The plan is to use an excerpt from the Discordian "Bible" -- the Principia Discordia.
Do not be alarmed!
Discordianism is a religion focused around Chaos, and the truth behind Chaos with a good deal of humour thrown in. It's less religion, more elaborate joke and philosophy.

  guardian and daemon
Forgotten's Name: Ayrestis Dysmornia Forgotten's Gender: Male Daemon's Name: Aneristic Daemon's Species: a Mimetus puritanus breed spider that is abnormally large.
Forgotten's Appearance (Physical): Ayrestis is pale and striking or dark and faint, freely interchangeble. Lithe and ungraceful. Mismatched eyes of grey and green, with mismatched clothes and hair to match. Hair will likely be long and scraggly, unkempt as he is, far too connected to chaos to care or even think long enough about it for long. Forgotten's Appearance (Traits): Misty and swallowed and empty and demure. Shattered and broken and lost and confused. The physical embodiment of...Confusion? Delirium? Chaos. Very lost, very very much so. A lot like Delirium of Sandman, and Dahlia of Silent Hill.
Daemon's Appearance (Physical): [ Reference of Spider ] A spider that will eventually grow to the size of a human, done in grey scale.
Daemon's Appearance (Traits): the ground to this character; the truth behind each word and the nudge of an ally. Stable and proud and strong. Truth in sense, embodies Order. Very stuffy, and very arrogant.
Forgotten's Personality: very spacey, very in-and-out, and cute. Often rather confused, and does thing sporadically and speaks very oddly, is very nice to everyone generally, even if it is HIS version of nice.
Daemon's Personality: headstrong and bold, wily and cunning. Will get what the pair wants no matter how, sensible about needs and wants. She is rather cruel to get what she needs, sometimes. Dislikes Ayrestis sometimes, when he gets to be too flitting for her set-in-way style.
Excerpt: The Aneristic Principle is that of APPARENT ORDER; the Erisitic Principle is that of APPARENT DISORDER. Both order and disorder are man made CONCEPTS and are artificial divisions of PURE CHAOS, which is a level deeper than is the level of distinction making.
...
Reality is the original Rorschach.
The Principia Discordia, Chapter Six: The Golden Secret.
How does the excerpt affect the pair?: This is who they are. They are nonsense and they are sense, they are the shallower levels of chaos and order, they are the two grids that are on the far ends of the spectrum. This is their truth, and their hope to be one as they cease being friends and allies and sometimes enemies and start becoming...each other? What does it reveal about..
.. their past?: That is how it was, in cruder words, in their past. .. how they are now that they are "reborn" as a Forgotten? One is chaos and one is order, but still, pieces of similarities still reside in them, deep vestigal structures in their mind that keep them together. .. their future?: A prophecy of sorts, yes. A descriptor of a yet unmade decision, whether they will realise they are the same or not...
Powers, talents, special traits?: Ayrestis has 'control' over chaos. It acts as such, that when he focuses, he can 'create' little bubbles of chaos. These bubbles may encompass five inches, or they may spread to several feet around him. Things that go on in this bubble involves very simple telekinetic acts, the raising of leaves around him to go fast enough to cut, the wind ripping like in a mini tornado. A 'shield' of sorts that engulfs him.
His other ability is simply empathy.
Other important qualities: Ayrestis may have flashes of stability, the few drops of order in his blood, and his outbreaks are more frequent than Aneristic's. Other important concept details: they are not THE chaos and THE order, they are leftbehind shards of the two. They are not the same but in the end they may be more similar than they like.

  on discordianism. What is it?// Discordianism is a chaos-based religion founded in 1958/1959. It has been described as both an elaborate joke disguised as a religion, and as a religion disguised as an elaborate joke. Some followers make the claim that it is "a religion disguised as a joke disguised as a religion."
Although most religions revere the principles of harmony and order in the Universe, Discordianism is a recognition that disharmony and chaos are equally valid aspects of reality. The Principia Discordia often hints that Discordianism was founded as a dialectic antithesis to more popular religions based on order, although the rhetoric throughout the book describes chaos as a much more underlying impulse of the universe.
The matron deity of Discordianism is Eris, the ancient Greek goddess of discord, with whom the Romans identified their goddess Discordia.
Philosophy// A summary of part of the Discordian philosophy appears on pages 00049 and 00050 of the Principia Discordia. The following is a quote extracted from Principia Discordia (All Rites Reversed):
My excerpt is this.
Chao//

The word Chao (pronounced similar to "cow") was coined as the singular of chaos. In the Discordian religion the chao is a symbol of the pataphysical nature of reality; singular instances of chaos being at the center of pataphysical theory.
The Sacred Chao is a symbol used by Discordians to illustrate the interrelatedness of order and disorder. It resembles a yin yang symbol, but according to Principia Discordia (page 00049): The Sacred Chao is not the Yin-Yang of the Taoists. It is the HODGE-PODGE of the Erisians. And, instead of a Podge spot on the Hodge side, it has a PENTAGON which symbolizes the ANERISTIC PRINCIPLE, and instead of a Hodge spot on the Podge side, it depicts the GOLDEN APPLE OF DISCORDIA to symbolize the ERISTIC PRINCIPLE.
The Law of Fives// The Law of Fives is summarized on page 00016 of the Principia Discordia:
The Law of Fives states simply that: ALL THINGS HAPPEN IN FIVES, OR ARE DIVISIBLE BY OR ARE MULTIPLES OF FIVE, OR ARE SOMEHOW DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY APPROPRIATE TO 5.
The Law of Fives is never wrong.
It is worth noting that the Law of Fives includes the word "Five" five times.
Like most of Discordianism, the Law of Fives appears on the surface to be either some sort of weird joke, or bizarre supernaturalism; but under this, it may help clarify the Discordian view of how the human mind works; Lord Omar is quoted later on the same page as having written, "I find the Law of Fives to be more and more manifest the harder I look."
The Curse of Greyface// The Curse of Greyface is one of the most important parts of Discordianism. According to the Principia, Greyface was a man who lived in the year 1166 BC and taught that life is serious and play is sin. The curse is a psychological and spiritual imbalance that results from these beliefs. Greyface encouraged his followers to "Look at all the order around you" and somehow convinced mankind to agree with his ideas about Serious Order.
By accepting that life is a serious, orderly matter, the followers of Greyface end up viewing things as either orderly or disorderly. In this system, order is preferred to disorder at all costs. This preference results in both constructive order and destructive order.
The alternative is to view things as either constructive or destructive. In this system, construction is preferred to destruction. Selecting construction results in both constructive order and constructive disorder.
The Pentabarf// The Pentabarf (given on page 00004 of the Principia) is the set of 5 holy laws of Discordianism.
1// There is no Goddess but Goddess and She is Your Goddess. There is no Erisian Movement but The Erisian Movement and it is The Erisian Movement. And every Golden Apple Corps is the beloved home of a Golden Worm. 2// A Discordian Shall Always use the Official Discordian Document Numbering System. 3// A Discordian is Required during his early Illumination to Go Off Alone & Partake Joyously of a Hot Dog on a Friday; this Devotive Ceremony to Remonstrate against the popular Paganisms of the Day: of Catholic Christendom (no meat on Friday), of Judaism (no meat of Pork), of Hindic Peoples (no meat of Beef), of Buddhists (no meat of animal), and of Discordians (no Hot Dog Buns). 4// A Discordian shall Partake of No Hot Dog Buns, for Such was the Solace of Our Goddess when She was Confronted with The Original Snub. 5// A Discordian is Prohibited from Believing What he reads.
The Pentabarf is the most fundamental of all Discordian catma. ("Catma" is a general term for Discordian teachings&etc, as distinguished from Discordian "dogma", which consists of passages from The Honest Book of Truth.)
Discordianism as a religion// While it is unclear whether Discordianism was originally intended to be taken seriously, a number of its members are still active in the Discordian Movement and consider themselves to be practicing Discordians.
