The Downstreamers

==Summary==
The Downstreamers, also known as The Old Ones are a vastly powerful and immortal race of descendants of humankind from the Manifold series. Born in the "primal universe", they are the first and oldest race in the Manifold Trilogy, and are the creators of Manifolds and the descendants of humanity who live some 10^117 years in the future. They survived the heat death of their universe, and seeking to expand their possibilities in regard to the creation of life, reached back in time to send messages to the 21st century, telling their ancestors the "Blue children" of their plans to restructure the Manifold.

</tabber>
Attack Potency: Low Multiversal ( they can manipulate up to a thousand timelines with nothing but their thoughts. Along with creating technology that can support the impact of a thousand big bangs per second.) High Outerversal (They created the Manifold which is a Type-IV Multiverse which houses cardinals up to including a hierarchy of mahlo cardinals, even the Ultimate L.), Eventually Transcendent (Eventually they created the entirety of Manifold, including all logically possible universes.)
Speed: Massively FTL+ | Immeasurable+
Lifting Strength: Unknown | Immeasurable
Striking Strength: Unknown | Low Outerverse level
Durability: Low Multiverse level (Some Downstreamers, who don’t come from the "Time of Afterglow," are born from naked singularities.Phase Space , 'The Gravity Mine' , p. 756-758 They are capable of surviving even when exposed to such a naked singularity at close proximity. They can produce material strictly from their thoughts that can withstand the combined force of a thousand big bangs per second; said material is completely immune to any change in the laws of physics.Manifold Time , Part 4 , p. 460 The Downstreamers as a whole were also fully capable of surviving the heat-death of a universe, though it is unknown to what degree they were weakened as a result of this), likely High Hyperverse level (Individual Pre-FVC Downstreamers are intangible neutrino/quantum consciousness/informational beings, which could survive the collapse of an infinitely-layered reality) | High Outerversal, eventually Transcendent (Reached a new level of existence which was vastly superior to its previous incarnation, transcending the whole of known reality and the "infinite ensemble"Manifold Origin of possible universes that arranged due to the Manifold's expansion)
Stamina: Unknown | Infinite
Range: Interstellar (Pre-FVC Downstreamers are described to be a light-year widePhase Space , 'The Gravity Mine' , p. 755 in size) to Low Multiversal (Capable of enacting time-line alteration on at least 1000Manifold Time , Part 4 , p. 445 non-causally connected universes,Manifold Time, Part 2, p. 141 and could set up Time Portals made of physics-warping material at will in at least 1000 universes) to Low Outerversal (They have access to the whole Manifoldverse) | High Outerversal, eventually Transcendent (Capable of controlling and initiating cosmic inflationPhase Space , 'Grey Earth' , p. 477 - 478 across the multiverse, in which universes are described as "mere bubbles of foam on an ocean")Phase Space , 'The We Who Sing' , p. 738
Intelligence: Nigh-Omniscient (Know how every possibleManifold Time , Part 4 , p. 532-533 event in the universe will unfold down to the quantum level. Their "brains" are Causal Loop computers, a device which grants them infinite thinking and processing power) | Nigh-Omniscient (The Old Ones are able to comprehend and manipulate the "infinite manifold" that encompasses all mathematical possibilities)
