History

Name: Victoria, "Victor", born Ludger Will Kresnik
Age: 30

Condensing the clusterfuck of Xillia 2's plot will be something, but...here goes.

-her mother, Claudia, ran away from the father of her child while she was pregnant, because she was afraid he'd use the girl for the power she inherited. GUESS WHAT HAPPENS

Age 5: she was out with her mother when they ran into Claudia's nephew Julius. (Her sister's son, but also Ludger's half-brother by the same father.) Mistaking him for an agent sent by his father after her, she attacked him. He killed her in self-defense. He took in his traumatized younger sister, intending to use her against his father later, but ended up growing fond of her.

Ludger retained no memory of her mother's death. She grew up admiring her brother and decided around age 7-8 that she was going to learn how to cook for him, since he was pretty useless at household stuff.

Age ~19: She tries to get a job with the company her brother works with, but fails the entrance exam. (he rigged it.)

Age 20: gets a job at the local train station as a cook instead. Meets world-famous child prodigy scientist Jude Mathis on her way to work, gets caught up in a terrorist-induced train crash, racks up an absurd amount of medical debt.

(turns out her father, head of the company her brother works for, discovered her existence and decided to use the debt as a way to manipulate her.)

Gets taken on by the company as a way to pay back her debt. Meets a small girl carrying a weird pocket watch who is very far from home. Proceeds to try to look after small girl while using the powers granted by the pocket watch to complete company missions.

Turns out "company missions" are "destroying alternate universes before they threaten the stability of ours", a.k.a. essentially murdering thousands upon millions of people.

Long story short, thousands of years before, humanity was trapped in a "game" cycle to prove they could coexist with spirits, whose energy they used to power their technology. When humans die they become spirits, and vice versa, and thus souls are recycled. Some unknown criteria causes new alternate dimensions to split off from the main ones. The total number of active dimensions must never reach 1 million, or humanity loses and gets wiped off the face of the planet.

In order to win, a human must gather the five "guides" to the Land of Canaan, the home of the Great Spirit Origin and overseer of the "game". He will then grant the bearer a single wish.

Ludger and co. gather 5 Guides, but the way to Canaan refuses to open. The little girl, Elle, is tragically killed. They realize they have been an alternate dimension all along, and therefore are doomed, since the way can only be opened from the prime dimension.

Everyone tries to go about their lives while knowing that someday they will vanish when their world is destroyed. Ludger marries and has a child, a little girl named Elle. (hmmm)

When Elle is 3, it comes to light that she carries a special power beyond that of the power to destroy worlds, called the Key of Kresnik. Ludger's father intends to use her to negotiate with the prime dimension and kidnaps her. Her mother pursues. Details are unclear, but she goes berserk from overusing her power and kills her friends as well as her father, taking on his title, "Victor".

Her husband dies from shock and grief. She goes on to raise her daughter alone, slowly descending into madness.
