== History ==
=== Guardian of the Multiverse ===
Maturin is a Great Old One who did not spawn from Yog-Sothoth's lineage. Instead, he was created by Yahweh 20 billion years ago. Maturin would dwell in a void called the Macroverse, which exists outside all other dimensions. Maturin had an unfortunate rivalry with its distant cousin, Atlach-Nacha. Yahweh deemed Maturin worthy to guard the Multiverse & keep its realms stable because of his wisdom & positive outlook on life, as compared to most of the Old Ones, who were mostly indifferent &/or nihilistic. Maturin agreed & went to the ever-changing realm of Leng, which connects to the rest of the Multiverse through a place called the Dark Tower. Those who would summon Maturin or an aspect of him often seek knowledge or protection from something horrifying. 
Around the time the Terrachaoverse was created, Maturin had a stomachache & threw up an entire galaxy into the cosmos, which prompted him to retreat into his shell until he got better. Unfortunately, by the time he felt like getting back out, Atlach had already made itself comfortable on planet Earth. Maturin would eventually become aware of Earth's lifeforms & took a liking to the planet & its beauty. This is what also made his dislike towards Atlach even more, considering it feeds on the fear & flesh of others. This even led him to hunt down Atlach to destroy him during the Great Old War. Unlike the other Old Ones who were fighting for supremacy & who would rule the Earth, Maturin had no interest in ruling the planet, as he would much rather just observe it. Cthulhu emerged as the victor, anyway, earning the title of High Priest. 
=== Feuds with the Clown ===
At some point in time, Atlach, now known as Pennywise the Dancing Clown, approached Maturin in a cosmic battle. The exact details of this event are unknown.
On Halloween 2019, Maturin was summoned via the Space Stone by the Almighty Tallest, in an attempt to ward off a starving Pennywise. His display worked, & the clown was forced into hibernation. Maturin was still in Leng when this happened, & that's where he dwells now.
== Personality ==
Maturin is unlike most of the Great Old Ones & actually makes an attempt to present himself as understandable to other forms of sentient life. People have described Maturin as being wise, compassionate, gentle, caring, & above all, benevolent; a complete contrast to Pennywise, who views him as dumb & lazy. Maturin is a helpful God, & has a desire to protect those who do not deserve suffering. Although, he rarely ever appears in the flesh, as he likes to sleep for long periods of time, which might validate one of Pennywise's assumptions about him. Nevertheless, Maturin pops out when he's needed.
== Powers & Abilities ==
=== Physical Abilities ===
Godlike Strength: As a Great Old One, Maturin is ridiculously strong. Scaling from other members of his kind, his true form is capable of carrying & even destroying 6-dimensional structures.
Godlike Speed: Maturin may seem like he's slow because he's a turtle, but appearances can be deceiving. He can actually move very quickly given his size, & is much faster when flying. He can even escape a Black Hole, but this is only for his avatars. His true form has immeasurable speed.
Invulnerability: Maturin is able to withstand the destruction of a megaverse & can go toe-to toe with Pennywise.
* Dermal Armor: Maturin's shell protects him from all methods of harm, making his body an impenetrable shield.
Immortality: Maturin cannot truly die & can live for as long as he wants, unbound by conventional life & death. 
Anti-Gravity Flight: Maturin can fly through the oceans of stars effortlessly, meaning he can fly much faster than the speed of light. His true form's flight speed is equal to his moving speed.
Self-Sustenance: Maturin does not need to eat, breathe, or sleep to survive.
Adept Swimmer: Taking on the form of a sea turtle, Maturin can swim very well.
Regeneration: The Great Old Ones can heal from complete spiritual destruction, so Maturin can heal from any wound.
=== Special Powers ===
Higher Dimensional Manipulation: Maturin on his own is a 6-dimensional being.
*Temporal Window: Maturin can see in 6 dimensions.
*Acausality: He is immune to time paradoxes & can break free of time loops.
*Teleportation: Maturin can be wherever he needs to be.
** Dimensional Travel: As a multiversal guardian, Maturin can travel to other realms seamlessly.
*Avatar Creation: Maturin can project himself in a smaller form when people may try to summon him. Though he's not nearly as horrifying to look at as most of the Old Ones, his sheer size might be a bit of an inconvenience, so he can create a smaller version of himself to appear instead to manifest in a lesser-dimensional universe.
Nigh-Omniscience: Maturin is often credited as wise, as he has an extensive knowledge of the Multiverse & all its realms, as well as most of their histories.
Power Sensing: Maturin can detect the power signatures/levels of any being in the Multiverse.
Reality Warping: Maturin does not operate on the conventional laws of the universe, as he existed before most of them were put into place. Maturin is of the most powerful of the Great Old Ones, & is often mistaken as a Creator Deity.
* Spatial Manipulation & Cosmic Energy Manipulation: Maturin can control the element of space & its many aspects, including cosmic energy.
* Creation: Maturn can create life on a galactic scale just by throwing up.
Mind Manipulation: Like his brethren, Maturin can interact with people's minds in varying ways.
* Telepathy: He can communicate with other people's minds across the stars, usually for guidance.
* Madness Manipulation: A power he does not often use, Maturin can drive you insane with a single look.
== Equipment ==
The Dark Tower: While not something he can carry with him, the tower is put in this section because Maturin was given the duty to protect it, therefore it belongs to him. The Dark Tower is a colossal structure, spiraling into infinite dimensions & resides in the direct center of Leng. It is what connects every universe together. Maturin was able to connect his very essence to the tower, granting him infinite-dimensional power.
== Weaknesses ==
Maturin is incredibly powerful, but he may sometimes get sick because of how powerful he is. His physical form can only be destroyed from within the inside. 
== Trivia ==
* He is based off the Stephen King character of the same name.
* His only spoken line of dialogue (so far) makes his voice resemble that of Crush from Finding Nemo. This reference is obvious due to the fact they're both turtles.
* His title, Guardian of the Multiverse, could be a reference to another giant turtle, Gamera, whose title is "Guardian of the Universe".
* Despite existing before the humans' invention of the calendar, Maturin has a birthday listed as it would've corresponded with what date it would've been if a calendar did exist during his birth.
