Aven Mara, Female Lizardfolk Pseudonaught: Ended a nation, and millions of lives, in a single day.
Rizyt, Male Satyr Pseudonaught: Enigmatic creature reported to have took part in many battles, several hundred years apart.
Organizations: Pseudonaughts are not the kind to join an organization on a whim, for they are not of reality, and have a hard time relating to such a restricting place. Though, an pseudonaught could potentially seek to join an organization that has the goal in mind to destroy all of reality, to enslave it, or to divulge all of unreality into it. Of course, it could come to pass that a pseudonaught would seek to create their own organization that could possibly train pseudonaughts, and enlighten them to the existance of unreality, or perhaps collect great forces of power to feed to the great nothingness.
NPC Reactions: An pseudonaught can be rather easy to pick out of a line up, simply because their mere existance is corrupt, and this makes them, somewhat recognizable. Though, it is uncommon for a person to actually realize what a pseudonaught is at first glance, they only realize that the pseudonaught isn't correct, that there is something wrong with them, something terrible. Though, regardless of wether a person recognizes a pseudonaught for what they are or not, the reaction is the same, fear, or, rarely, reverence.

Pseudonaughts in the Game
Pseudonaughts are able to be found anywhere in the world, from the remote, desolate plains near the edge of the world, to the crowded, noisy hall of an ancient king. Yet, no matter where they are found, they will always seem out of place, for they don't belong in existance. Though, this does not prevent a pseudonaught from bein friendly, or even helpful to those who they encounter in their lives. Pseudonaughts, in this way, can fill the role of the evil force that does not belong in reality, and seeks to unravel it at the seams, to the unusual, rather helpful stranger.
Adaptation: Pseudonaughts can be adjusted to fit into any world, any story, any world, all with ease. For example, in a world where there is no 'unreality', a pseudonaught could simply be someone who has struck a deal with an evil entity for power. On the other hand, in a story where magic is uncommon, and you must either be born with it, or you don't have it, a pseudonaught could simply have a potent, inherent force within themselves, that helps them to do things they would not otherwise be able to do.
Sample NPC: Jason Gerieth was a foul child, who often did terrible things to the local creatures, from burning them alive, to chopping them in half. Though, when people asked him why he did such awful things, he simply replied with, "I like turning them into nothing." OF course, this was terrifying in and of itself, and drove the local parents and children to keeping their distant from the young Jason. This had not sway over the boy however, and he still did the terrible things that he did, and he still had his obsession with 'nothing'. Eventually, the boy left home, and went out into the world, bringing with him only a knife, and his clothing. No one knows what happened to Jason in the coming years, but it is known that he returned one day, and turned the entire town into 'nothing'. Jason Gerieth is now considered to be one of the most dangerous humans alive, and his whereabouts are unknown.
