Description

Adrift in the vast organism, the multiverse, is a Nascent Apotheosis (NA), a term given to entities forged through cataclysmic circumstances and set on pathways of greatness rivaling historically accepted adaptations of god. Some view them as pubescent deities, but these created beings are not supreme by any stretch of imagination. More appropriately, they are victims of nature's wiles. One particular example, which we shall refer to as NA-1 (also, Nal), due to its lachrymose origin, will be the topic of discussion.

Compressing its identity with the most superlative tripe, Nal is a supersentient waveform of immense psionic sophistication given to the ephemeral manipulation of particles to a remembered form. We have ENDER, the demiurge of this particular genesis, to thank for the anomaly.


BACKGROUND

Every civilization evidently comes to an end. After all, cultures are composed of mortals, and mortals are, de facto, temporal. While a select band may argue that point, they are arrogant fools, and not to be trusted. That said, such an array of mortals had attained a level of immense technological insight, and from their intellect blossomed a galaxy-spanning sphere of habitable planes, called sabots, each the size of a large planet and interconnected by Einstein-Rosen bridges. They eventually wove a series of vorpal helices around the unstable quantum bridges, and later completed the tapestry of the hollow sphere's surface by overlaying it with a biological amalgam that eventually manifested as an enormous landscape.

The capabilities of ambition are far-reaching.

Of course, while space may seem infinite, resources generally are not, and the expansion of one civilization means the ravaging of another. Were the one in question allowed to grow unchecked, it would have been the bane of many a galaxy and the destruction of many an amoebic ecosystem. Indeed, it was to begin with, as the architecture of its growth tampered with the natural order of evolution in the cosmos. Were that not so, fate may very well have moved otherwise.

ENDER, the actuator of this civilization's fate, saw to its termination, and the largest object known in the universe to that time was suddenly and instantly snuffed out: compressed into a singularity by an omnidirectional black hole that had manifested directly in the midst of the enormous sphere. The threat of that active galactic nuclei had gone unnoticed - granted, short notice was given - and, when gravity reached a tipping point, the intricate lattices of that world crumbled. The onrush of matter that filled the void created by such an expansive object's disappearance did, in turn, smother the black hole. To the naked eye, nothing to speak of remained. Yet the product of this macro-quantum collapse was Nal, who, in true sang-froid fashion befitting its people, survived the greatest calamity of mortals in recent history, albeit in the frigid vacuum of space in a form more quanta than materia.

Yet in this quanta was the set of knowledge and emotion that had been trillions of embodied souls just hours before, and, after many a millennia haplessly adrift the emptiness of the multiverse, it swiftly developed a keen sense of irony and certainly a tinge of bitterness. Such emotions sculpted its personality, and, when it finally coalesced around a planet where other mortals lived out their lives, it carried on the great tradition of its maker.


APPLICATION

A sine qua non, Nal's atrocities and self-perceived evils often serve a purpose beyond what it realizes. If that were not the case, it would not be permitted to exist. The epistemology for this is not necessarily divine, if such a thing as divinity exists, but merely an extension of natural law. Nature is brimming with similar agents manufactured for the purpose of curbing the rate of its expansion, ensuring the balance of entropy and syntropy, and has mechanisms to ensure they do not exceed their created purpose.

One such thorn in the flesh, as it may be called, it Nal's inability to maintain form for an extended period of time. The particles it uses to manifest as are not in resonance with the ideas that compose its identity, and it eventually - if given to exertion - dissipates, and must meditate and refocus itself to mold anew.


PERSONALITY

Given the mise en scène, it is easy to come to the conclusion that Nal is a rather angry, bitter entity. After all, its whole universe was extinguished without any warning or opportunity for absolution. Its physicality shredded and fused with countless other souls, and transformed into more idea than physical manifestation. The worst part is, it cannot play with itself anymore. So it plays with others, and not in a good way. It actively seeks to torment its victims, aggressing them with irrationality, scorn, and hate by transforming itself into an unparalleled effigy of their dread.

So begins...

#, as written by Awinita
The expanse of the void was endless, and he just wanted a beer, anything good and strong, and it didnt just matrialise out of nothing. So how to get out of the endless expanse of a rather beautiful endless flower meadow was actually rather nice. It was not often he got to really just wander a flower meadow, and as beautiful as it was, there had to be a door or a window or something.

Finally finding what looked like a door frame, with no visible door per sei, he tried going through it, like it was a opening in a fence, and promptly smacked into a door panel with a hard thud. The dragon saw he couldnt fit through the door but it was infact a door. Dust was on the ground among the beautiful flowers but he felt he should not disturb the dust, it was after all possible that someone had distributed family ashes there. And just being there made the dragon shift form to his human asize and get to his knees, bowing three times towards a nearby small pile of void dust before getting to his feet.

Turning back to the door frame he found the4 handle. But something made him halt. Where there others looking for the door that he had just found ?

Kragum stopped in his tracks as Fesna's wail reached him, a chill brushing over his skin. He picked up the pace, and this time it was Kragum's turn to go in for a hug.

Fesna gave a final pitiful sob, wiped her nose on Kragum's shoulder, and looked to where he was pointing.

There was a door, and it was closing.

She didn't even think twice grabbing Kragum's hand and barreling for the door.

Kragum gave Fesna a hard nod, and tried for the door. To both of their surprise it was unlocked!

Shael blinked, and he found himself somewhere he did not expect. His memory was fuzzy as if he had awoken from a half-remembered dream.

“Hello?” He called out to the emptiness. “I’m afraid I’m a bit lost, and I don’t remember how I got here.”

A tall skeletal figure wandered the void. Zal’hagun scanned the impenetrable darkness with fleshless eyes that glowed with necromantic energy. His ancient robes, worn and tattered yet still bearing an air of nobility, flowed behind him.

“Well…” He hissed into the nothingness. “This is… problematic.”

Leon dropped his shot glass and reached for his revolver. How did he get here? He listened carefully for any sound in the pervasive darkness. His teeth clenched in frustration.

“I don’t have time for this. Need to find a way out…”

Elanna Torres opened her eyes after what seemed like an eternity. She didn't remember how she got here, and she didn't seem to know where she was at, drifting in an infinite void. She ran her hands on her body, the polished leather of her sam browne, and the sleek casing of her disruptor. She reached into a leather pouch, and clicked on a small LED flashlight, shining it into the void.

Heralding Rymesis examined the Void Dust carefully. He's run across it before...but her looked around at the vast emptiness. He knew not where he was, but remembered where he should have been. After many a millennia, there would not be a soul that could transport him without his will. So he was a bit expected, despite his old bones and indifference towards certain adventurous proclivities.

"Well, I suppose Gambit's is no more." For that is the last thing he remembers.

He knew it was time to have a little fun. The divine nature of him being where he was certainly screamed 'higher power'. So, He was sure that meant there were new places to explore and to people to help. Or at the very least, new worlds to explore and pupils to be had. Explorers always came a knocking whenever he stayed anywhere too long.

"Oh Ho! Time to move it!" Heralding exclaimed.

Quickpaw Hurojo awakes after having been asleep for several years. Around the area was only void. It was empty. Dark. Cold. "Where... where have the spirits placed me?" He started patting his body all over; ensuring that he was corporeal. "Not dead; that's a plus." Though there was no time to lose. If he was corporeal, that likely means that he could return to the world he knew, and hopefully return to his king. He began running, hoping to find an exit to this ethereal obscurity.

Sibael Rhodwyn looked around, finally staring one of the strangers in the face, "I don't remember you. Any of you, to be frank."
