"All life grows, then dies, with decay coming last."-Conduit of Decay

The Conduit of Decay is the child of 2 of the oldest Conduits to exist: The Conduit of Death and the Conduit of Darkness, and is the oldest half-siblings of Liminality, Purification, and Corruption. Due to this, he is one of the strongest Conduits to exist, as well as one of the more dangerous ones. Despite this, he is one of the more honorable and kinder ones as well.

Backstory:

At some unknown point on the past, Darkness and Death had mated and created a child together that embodies the aspect of decay itself. As Decay happens everywhere in existence, he proved himself to be a very strong Conduit to ever exist, almost to the point that he had become a handful for Death and Darkness.

But as Death and Darkness are constantly busy, especially since they don't really care about him, and yet the Conduit of Darkness decided to look out for him than Death. In a way, Darkness acted as a true parent for the both of them and treated him with kindness and care, and as such, it made Decay feel like they are accepted to an extent. In a way, they felt very happy that someone cares for them this much when Death, his other parent, stopped caring for them in a way. Eventually, when they grew up, and when Decay has completed his grasp at how his Conduit works due to training with Darkness, Decay sought to go on a journey all by themself, and left for the time being, but not before saying one last goodbye to Darkness, which made them a little bit happy.

Decay traveled around the entirety of existence of the Edensphere, hoping to be able to get know who they are a little bit more than before. As they do, they would later meet other Conduits that appeared by the Cycle, many of whom that they would meet by accident. They would have an encounter with the Conduit of Life while she was away from Death to see all living beings grow, and suprisingly they got along very well, almost to the point of having a relationship similar to a mother and son. Decay would later meet Hugo, the Conduit of Balance, and the 2 would get along as well in their own way. They even met some Forbidden Conduits, who Death has talked of them back when he was still around with him. Although Decay does not the Forbidden Conduits, they do possess a sense of weariness of them, to the point the Conduit of Decay would try to avoid them, this changed when the Forbidden Conduits he met are surprisingly friendly. In this case, it is Disorder and Music and Acceptance. This caused them to see how wrong the Conduit transitions are involving the Forbidden Conduits, realizing that everyone only hates the Forbidden Conduits all because of what they represents, but never bothered to care about what the Forbidden Conduits are like individually, never bother to get to know them.

Unfortunately, Death would find out about this, and would immediately stop his journey, but does not express his anger at this, and instead just tells him that he needs to come back, due to the fact that something very important is happening, and as such he wants them around to be with the other Conduits. Decay was unsure of this and even hesitated a bit, but he obliged to Death's demands and came back. Death took him back to the others, and it is here that he would meet 2 of his half-siblings called the Conduit of Liminality and the Conduit of Purification. Decay would feel a bit off about this, but nevertheless is happy that he finally is able to meet his half-siblings. He got along very well with their half-siblings and is always there for them whenever they needed him, just as his half-siblings are always there for Decay when they needed the both of them. He worked with the Conduits to be of aid for others and keep others from doing something horrible, such as the Forbidden Conduit of Corruption, who was born when Darkness violated Life, much to Decay's disappointment and disgust, since they never thought that Darkness would something as horrible as this, which later led to this terrible situation everyone has with Corruption in the first place. But in spite of this, oddly enough, Decay and Death would finally be able to get along like actual offspring and parent when they never had that chance as children, presumably because of the fact that the Conduit of Life has softened his heart to an extent, something that he is rather thankful for in a way.
