A Man of Many Lives by Reindeer-King
Mortikai doesn't know when he became an alcoholic. Maybe it was after he lost most of his family. Maybe it was after he first lost ten years of his long time on this Earth. It gets him through the times when it's too hard to think about it. He only knows that Brink has some part in this. It's only been a few times that he's lost exactly ten years, but he can't remember anything inside the timeframe.

The first time it happened, he was confused. Anyone would be if they were living in eighteen-seventy-four one moment and eighteen-eighty-four the next. The first thing he noticed was the blood, then the mask covering his face, which he pulled off with a little difficulty due to the thing being somewhat fused to his face. Around him, he saw his father and many individuals, who he knew to be a local gang. All of them were dead. Brink had then appeared to him, encouraging him to stand up an leave the scene, telling him that he had avenged his father by killing those who comitted the crime. At the time, he believed all of the dark spirit's words, but now he has some doubt that the gang was the one who killed his father.

The second time was from nineteen-fourty-three to nineteen-fifty-three, where he came back to conciousness with two robotic faces peering at him. Discovering later that he had been looking after the two musical steambots, he once again found blood and a mask. The blood belonged to several men of the rival to the robots' creator, and they had attempted to steal the two. Brink once again appeared, consoling all three material beings in front of him and taking them under his metaphorical wing. Mortikai later learned that the two had also been cared for by his brother Fletcher, which caused some...mixed feelings.

The last time was the most recent. Nineteen-ninety-eight to two-thousand-and-eight. Strangely, he remembers a very tiny part of this time. A woman in front of him, pleading about something. She takes the rings from both of their hands and slips them into his pocket, asking him to promise to not forget "us". He feels something dark in the back of his mind, forcing it's way forwards as he breaks away from her with rage, the all-too-familiar mask forming over his eye as a dark mist envelops him...Then he wakes up in an alleyway, two youngsters branded with Brink's marking lying dead in front of him, the symbol being crossed out. The sign of a traitor. Pulling the mask from his face, he accepts the dark spirit's embrace, promising rewards...

Ahh, I love this guy's backstory, and the way this is all written gives it such a dark and forbidding atmosphere. :)
I'd write a better comment, but I'm in a rush right now. XD I love all your stories though--
