In the Slenderverse series TribeTwelve, Firebrand was once part of The Collective, a hivemind-like group of shadowy, powerful entities who serve the Slenderman. He broke free thanks to HABIT, a wily, bloodthirsty entity from the Slenderverse series EverymanHYBRID. Since then, he refers to himself as a "rogue god." Aside from the partial reference to Firebrand's title, "Rogue" represents my disconnection from the human species, multiple deviations from the norm, and my desire to permanently escape from existence.
In the Slenderman mythos, a "proxy" is a human or entity under the Slenderman's influence and control. Likewise, anyone born human is expected and demanded to serve their species, particularly those within their social groups (e.g. family, friends, community, country, workplace, education system, belief systems, ect.) and especially high-ranking individuals who wield great power, control, and influence (e.g. parents, educators, world leaders, employers, religious leaders, mental health enforcers, ect.). Human servitude includes labor, paying taxes, purchasing goods and services, breeding, companionship, entertainment, military combat, and most importantly, overall conformity. Relating to Firebrand's former proxy status, I refuse to exist against my will, let alone serve, conform, or assimilate with the human species. Especially considering the lifetime of abuse, neglect, and mistreatment they have, and continue to inflict onto me.
