Who am I?

It's an interesting question, "who am I?". It is asked as if everyone has an answer and people expect that we do have an answer, but I am one of the few, maybe the only one, who doesn't have an answer. What I can tell you is that I've been around for hundreds of years, I only have a 35 year lifespan that always resets and I almost always lose my memories during the resets. Telling you anything more at this point could get me picked up by men in suits never to be seen again. If you wish to know more, and see either a 50 year old man or a 15 year old kid, ask him questions and you'll be surprised in my responses.

 What do I mean by reset?

Years ago, something happened to me during my teenage years which, for anyone who has watched Doctor Who, is kind of like a regeneration. Imagine being 15 years old and knowing you're different but not knowing how, then when your 50th birthday comes along you cannot even enjoy it, for you disappear into what seems to be thin air and your clothes are left behind. It's like being asleep for just a second and then waking up remembering nothing, being 15 again, and having this repeat for a few millenia.

 If I lose all memory how am I explaining this to you?

Good question, in fact it's the first question you should've asked. The answer is so simplistic, you'd never believe me. After hundreds of years of resetting, my brain began to adapt and evolve, eventually leading me to a point where I could at first only remember things once I was near the start of a new cycle, or near the end of another cycle. This lead to a cycle of me finally remembering everything, all the time.

 How long have I been alive?

Let's just say that my mother could've either been forcefully drowned or burned alive for "witchcraft" if they ever found out about her "herbal" healing regimens.

 What exactly did happen to me?

I'll stick to the basics here, otherwise you'd be listening to me ramble on for about 6 hours. So to remain simple, my mother found some sort of book with a map that led to basically what you'd call the fountain of youth and she bathed in it, as well as drank its waters. Well she did manage to live a long time, not forever though as she was killed in her sleep in the mid 1990's. Well this fountain of youth or whatever it really was had some unforeseen consequences, such as the fact that the offspring of whomever was affected by this life extender would live life in a 35 year cycle and then repeat. There you go, anything else you wish to know?

 How does my ever erasing memory affect skills needed to live?

That's a good question. Without telling you all the science behind what happens, basically my brain remembers the skills yet I have no way of consciously accessing them. For example, say I was a blacksmith in a former cycle and then I was working at a forge after resetting. If I tried to figure out how to smith, I'd fail, but if I didn't think about it and just let whatever happens, happen, I would be able to smith again. 

 Anything else I wish to tell you?

Currently at this point in time, no. However if things were to change or my life becomes more interesting, I'd be sure to answer more questions or even just find a random stranger and tell them my tale, like how I told you.

Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to listen to my story and ask me some daunting yet interesting questions. I hope this will soon be the beginning of an interesting friendship!
