The Photographer

██████ ███████, better known by his pseudonym The Photographer, was the master and owner of the Data Gardens, a demi-plane that housed realistic replications of history and events within the canon, captured by his assistants, and on rare occasions, himself.
==Appearance==
:Skip to: Photograher's Gallery.
The Photographer appeared as a humanoid man, though his face was perpetually shrouded behind a celestial veil. His usual attire consisted of a dark coloured windbreaker-like jacket, with the hood always up, and a simple white tee. He wore dark brown trousers with a simple belt, and black hightops with black laces. The Photographer also wore thin dark fingerless gloves. Across his chest was always a strap that connected to his camera, which no one had ever seen.
Before his current clothing, he used to wear purple cardinal-like robes with off-gold accents, and a ceremonial scarf of the same garb. The Photographer also used to carry a hooked staff with a floating purple orb around him at all times, before his first assistant told him, "...it looks stupid," to which he promptly changed his appearance.
==Personality==
The Photographer was a sarcastic, go-with-the-flow. upbeat personality that lit up whatever room he was in. His humour and wit could be quite flippant, and his traits tended to bleed onto his assistants, much to whoever was visiting the Data Garden's dismay. The Photographer was a known prankster, especially in the props department.
Nica Dexlus noted after her first visit to the gardens that he was "... a rather eccentric fellow." and that he reminded her of a certain isekai'd friend.
Due to The Photographer's temporal transgression, according to him, he had a bad case of cabin fever from being stuck inside all the time, and could become somewhat 'jumpy.'
==Background==
The Photographer was an elder oraphelium, a type of high-ranking oraphim hailing from Xoralectus. When Xoralectus fell to the Divine Apothica, The Photographer used his remaining power and fled his local reality, landing in during its infancy.
Stricken with loneliness, The Photographer began communicating with the early life that sprouted within Aethstyr, mainly Eventus and celestial devourers hailing from ancient Aeternatus and Cradle. He could only communicate through sending images and audio telepathically, and only ever received vague emotions in return. But it was better than nothing. From there, his idea for the first camera, and the idea for a gardens where the captures could be viewed were born, the Data Gardens, a place where communication would be easier.
Initially used to talk to the ancient entities of Aethstyr, the gardens evolved as Aethstyr grew more life. Then, The Photographer, committing a temporal transgression, was trapped inside his garden domain. And so, his need for an assistant arose.
Now with five assistants, The Photographer spent the rest of his time tending to his Data Gardens.
==Relationships==
===Tori Ephialtes===
:See also: Tori Ephialtes.
Being his first assistant, The Photographer had a soft spot for her. Though he equally loveed all of his assistants, The Photographer had known and spent the most time with Tori, upwards of tens of thousands of years. Though their relationship at first was rocky at best, once The Photographer saved Tori's sister, she began working properly for him. Their trust and bond was seemingly unbreakable.
===Legacy Ephialtes===
:See also: Legacy Ephialtes.
Though The Photographer treated Legacy like an equal – as with all of his assistants – she was still somewhat fearful of him, from an authority figure point of view. Though as time went on, The Photographer had managed to get Legacy out of her shell when talking to him. Their main interactions were not in fact assignments for work, but actually baking. Unfortunately The Photographer only knew how to bake one type of cake...
===Vicinal Ephialtes===

Vicinal was the first assistant not directly chosen from The Photographer, and as such he was unsure of her at first. But thanks to Tori's suggestion, The Photographer was on board. Much to The Photographer's joy, she turned out to be just the energy that he wanted to fill the halls and courts of the Data Gardens. Vicinal and The Photographer's relationship could be described as "Mischievous children that bounce off each other a little too much."
===Kazuha Castleheart===
:See also: Kazuha Castleheart.
Though Kazuha considered herself the "black sheep" of the gardens, The Photographer went to lengths to attempt to make her feel like it was a home, and the staff like a family. Unfortunately his efforts had not been met with positive rapport, much to his dismay. Kazuha tended to paint their relationship as strictly professional, but The Photographer's personality warmed her up at times.
==Powers and Abilities==
The Photographer was a writing device used by the Cats – specifically Malkuro – and so he did not adhere to the power cap. As such, his power went beyond lengths of even that of 'powerful' within the Aethstyr canon.
Within the Data Gardens, The Photographer was seemingly omnipotent, able to create, destroy, and warp reality as he saw fit, within the gardens. His most notable feat was being able to take captures from the cameras he made, and turning them into their own demi=planes that could be accessed via gates/doors that he conjured. Inside these demi-planes, are what was taken on said camera. A perfect replica of the history and/or event that played out a number of any amount of hours, days, weeks, months, or even years; up to The Photographer's discretion. The bounds of the demi-plane's re-enactment did not seem limited, so it was assumed The Photographer was able to conjure his own universes.
Nigh-omnipotent strength: The Photographer had been seen being able to lift, pull, and push any object of any size, density, or weight, that was observable within Caerulus.
Nigh-omnipotent magick: Through his Data Gardens, The Photographer was able to conjure entire copies of Aethstyr, down to the molecule and trap them within a portable demi-plane to his will. When an assistant made a successful capture, it was even noted that if done well enough, the assistant could offer a wish that was blessed by The Photographer. These 'gifts' could range from simple things such as creating armor, to knowing any type of knowledge, to complex things such as having incredible power. The Photographer's 'gifts' were seemingly limitless, and could even reach into domains controlled by entities whose potency reached complex hyperversal, such as within The Tower of Eden, with little to no effort. 
Nigh-omnipresence: Prior to his temporal transgression against The Council of Cats, The Photographer was capable of being anywhere, at any time. Within the Data Gardens he could be anywhere at any time, as well as all at once.
Nigh-omnipotent endurance: The Photographer survived changing realities, and had been seen taking direct mon-bloodlusted full-power blows from Nica Dexlus, who did not even realise that she was doing so due to being in his domain. Prior to his temporal transgression against The Council of Cats, when he was able to walk among , The Photographer was able to stand next to an Eventus' destruction, which had an energy capability equal to a black hole.
Incomprehensible intelligence: Using his magick, The Photographer was able to calculate and fine-tune adjust probabilities, entropy, and matter down to the atomic level, in order to replicate events and history through his Data Gardens.
Nigh-omnipotent perception: The Photographer was able to peer into many layers deeper than the fifth dimension, and was able to pinpoint and remember exact events and locations, exactly how they would play out. In the gardens, he was able to know where all people were within the garden walls, at all times, even through entities that could not be perceived. The Photographer wass able to manipulate his own perception, placing any amount of intensity or number of limiters on his own perspective at will.
High charisma: The Photographer was able to make most people who enter his Data Gardens laugh, or feel comfortable. He had changed the opinions and viewpoints of gods. Though he was very inconsistent, often at times being noted as a "doofus," according to his assistants. His awkwardness could silence an entire room.
Incomprehensible Anima: There was no entity within bar a Cat that could detect The Photographer's Anima. His Anima had the slightest, tiniest sway, over Eden Scyfer, a complex hyperversal entity that had draw power nearing an outerverse.
Cabin fever: It is to be noted that The Photographer couldn't leave or interact outside of his own domain, a fifth dimensional plane at best. All of his feats henceforth could only be considered to work within the Data Gardens.
