20 Galaxies - Abstracts
Abstracts
The entities with the ultimate power in the 20G universe are the Abstracts, spiritual or physical incarnations of a concept. There are thousands that can potentially exist, but very few incarnate on their own. They run the universe and time, which repeats itself for eternity in the same way. The Abstracts are the only ones who know the whole timeline and can change it without damaging it.
An Abstract incarnate consists of four parts - a body, a mind, a soul, and a concept. An non-incarnate Abstract is only its concept and lives a very different existence. It knows all in the universe where the aspect it represents exists, and has the power to create or destroy the souls of the physical universe. By incarnating, the Abstract severely limits itself. It will only know the intensity of their aspect present in other living things, and is subject to emotional and physical restraints, though they still have access to a wide range of their abilities. As incarnate they are perceived more easily by the inhabitants of the universe and can use their aspect to affect the world more directly. Abstracts can be summoned in the physical world by other incarnate Abstracts, or by extremely strong-minded people in the physical universe. To keep a fair balance of power in the universe, once an Abstract incarnates, it's opposite (if applicable) will soon follow.
As a concept, Abstracts have no form, gender, size, or personality. They can only be perceived in living beings through thought and emotion. Incarnates can change their form at will but usually take on another name and a set form to conceal their true identities. They are not to "interfere" directly too often and some actions will cause them to lose their ability to incarnate. One is to directly take the life or a key player in the timeline, such as the Nexus or Antinexus and their descendants.
Known Abstracts
Creation // alias unknown
Creation's existence is mysterious but he seems to have allied himself with the Accileans. Most know his appearance to be a strong, pale-skinned angel in armor, with hair of an indeterminate color. He seems peaceful, patient, and protective.
(Appears in 20 Galaxies and Extremers Inc.)
Destruction // Orpheus
Orpheus takes on an overall green appearance, with a wild style and a mood that can range from dark and brooding to happily insane. He has difficulty remaining in reality because he has a tendency to destroy his own form, and has little history there. Most find him extremely dangerous. Other Abstracts find him to be a little more than a nuisance.
(Appears only in Extremers Inc.)
Evil // Marlin Cevian Sainlevie
The Abstract who spends the most time in reality. Normally Marlin can be found running the universe the Accilean Council calls Malumnia, which is a negative mirror-image of the Accilean universe. He appears from time-to-time in the Accilean world, usually Earth as it is outside of the Accilean system, and takes a form that resembles what many people of the time perceive to be evil - he loves cliches and playing the role of the evil overlord, no matter how inconvenient it may be in a given situation. In the present, he most often appears as a middle-aged executive, with white, wavy hair, sharp eyes, and a repulsive purple suit. He carries business cards infused with Malumnian energy, which has the same soul-damaging effect as the Lraenian language. His attitude is eerily positive.
(Appears in 20 Galaxies and Extremers Inc.)
Good // Zayn
Zayn appears as a tall, radiant woman with hair down to her feet, soft eyes and large, feathered wings. She spends most of her time in the Core of the universe, unwilling to interfere with the workings outside it. She would prefer not to have any contact with the physical world at all, but Marlin's existence there makes that impossible. She is soft-spoken and very kind, never angry or intimidating, and always willing to spend time with those who seek her out.
(Appears only in Extremers Inc.)
Chaos // Savas
Savas usually appears as a humanoid figure in a gray cloak with Accilean symbols around the fringes. He doesn't have any clear alliance but seems to enjoy making trouble for Marlin and his associates, as both he and Order Incarnate believe he interferes too much in reality. He has an arrogant and mischievous personality.
(Appears only in Extremers Inc.)
Order // Eurydice
Everything about Eurydice is rigid and stern. Some mistake her for a well-sculpted statue when she isn't moving. She is very harsh with those she believes to be out of order, and has a piercing voice that has an effect similar to but less than Boreas' daggers.*
(Appears only in Extremers Inc.)
*When struck together, Boreas' daggers create a mesmerizing sound, only audible to those he chooses it to be, that allows him to take control of their minds.
