IS

## Summary

**IS**, alongside its counterpart **IS NOT**, are the two ultimate beings of the Kaktusverse. They represent two universal truths, all that IS and all that IS NOT. There originally only were the two siblings, before IS woke up from its slumber and transformed its dream into reality.

The Dream of IS became THAT WHICH IS, the sum of creation. But as it was formless and aimless, IS created several Paragons from itself to shape its dream into something sensible. The nameless Paragon of Names gave its existence away to give names to the sum of creation, allowing each aspect of it to be differentiated. Edos the Paragon of time started his march of time, slowly bringing creation towards IS NOT. Usarus the Paragon of Form gave the dream its shape and form, giving things their boundaries. Zutris the Paragon of Power gave entities the ability to move and act, giving movement to creation. Aella the Paragon of Life gifted creation with life, taking the first seed of life from the Heart of IS. Osyn the Paragon of Soul gave those living beings a soul and the ability to think for themselves. And finally Runheia the Paragon of Knowledge gave living beings the ability to collect knowledge, and built the Library on the boundary between IS and IS NOT.

From this point on, the Paragons mostly left back for IS's dream and left the world to its own devices. The original gods, IS included, now mostly forgotten by the world.

**Attack Potency:** **Boundless** (Exists as one of the ultimate truth of the universe, an existence beyond even ideas and which defines everything that is. IS encompasses all of existence, all that ever was or will be. THAT WHICH IS, the sum of all creation, is merely the dream of IS given physical form. IS exists far beyond the scope of even the highest of Paragons, the Paragon of Names, who defined the existence of every single entity or concept with a name, including Edos and the Serpent, the former encompassing the latter, and the latter existing as the incarnation of information itself and thus should be far above the Noosphere and its hierarchy. IS equally transcends all of those lower concepts, existing before those were even separated from the initial formless reality and were given names)
