Manifestors

Manifestors are sources of power that personify one or more aspects. They are typically the governing force of their native Universes and can be thought of as gods. They are the third most potent entities in the Multiverse in regards to raw power, with the second and first being Higher Beings and Remnants respectively. However they are ranked first if you only count entities that follow the standard rules for being alive.

Manifestors are created during the birth of a new universe, becoming one of the first things that can be found within it.

Although Manifestors are powerful by their nature, some manifestors are stronger than others based on the aspects they personify.

Every Manifestor has a Twinned Manifestor that is associated with them. These twinned Manifestors tend to be personifications of opposing aspects. Due to this, most Manifestors tend to be naturally repelled by their twinned Manifestor, which often develops into conflict over time. The power of a Manifestor is always equivalent to that of its twinned manifestor, meaning that any conflicts started between them are unresolvable without outside influence.

A Manifestor in its natural unbound state is a pure energy based entity that slowly develops a form and mind over large periods of time. This energy state is indestructible to all but Higher Beings and Remnants, however is completely derived from its core aspect(s).

The longer an Unbound Manifestor is left to develop independently, the harder it is to bind with.

When a strong enough living entity comes into contact with a unbound Manifestor they can force their mind, body and soul into the Manifestor, merging themselves into one new being, a Bound Manifestor. Bound Manifestor's still retain their aspects however now have a merged consciousness consisting of the host and the strongest underlying principles of the Manifestor's aspect(s). Their new body is no longer just energy-based and instead tends to take physical form as this is what the host is normally most comfortable with. Depending on the potency of the Manifestor, they can alter their physical form however they wish.

Unlike an Unbound Manifestor, A Bound Manifestor can be killed. Killing a Bound Manifestor is difficult, but possible via a verity of methods. Killing a Bound Manifestor erases any trace of the Bound Manifestor's host, and leaves a fresh Unbound Manifestor that must re-develop or in rare cases may cause several Fragmented Manifestors to form. Manifestor's in this state are at their weakest point, and thus are easiest to bind with.

Manifestors come in a series of different types depending on how they naturally are created during the birth of a universe. The different types are linked to the Manifestor's aspect.

Concentrated Manifestor's have a single, but potent, aspect making them incredibly strong. There tends to only be one set of this type of Manifestor in a given Universe, and they tend to be the strongest compared to other types.

Duel Manifestor's have two separate aspects, normally with one (its primary aspect) being slightly stronger than the other (its secondary aspect). These tend to be the most commonly created Manifestor's and their power ranges drastically between themselves.

Fragmented Manifestor's were either part of a Duel Manifestor or a Concentrated Manifestor that have been splintered into several Fragmented Manifestors after being unbound by a Fabric Shattering Event or something with an equally destructive nature.

These Fragmented Manifestors are weaker versions of what they once where, having new sub-aspects that their old aspects where made from. They are able to absorb other Fragmented Manifestors that stemmed from their original aspect(s), growing in strength until one absorbs all others, restoring themselves to their original state, after which they are no longer fragmented.

These are twisted, cancerous versions of pervious Manifestor types that have had their aspect broken and/or warped by the Untempered Void. This type of Manifestor is by far the strongest, and gain large amounts of unnatural power.

Higher Beings and Remnants will actively seek to destroy this type of Manifestor as they can pose a threat to not just its local Universe, but in worse case scenarios, this type of Manifestor can be a danger to its Multiverse.
