Kipthorne

**Overview** ⬩ Gallery

**Kipthorne** is an entity attached to Milly, which defines themselves as The Consciousness of Time its Self. They are stuck within Milly due to what happened

## **Appearance**

Kipthorne presents its self as a twenty foot tall being, robed in iridescent silks, with multiple black spectral arms. Many eyes and teeth fill the void between the spaces of the robes, part of the arms themselves. A small black hole takes the place of the head surrounded by an orange glow, atop of this is a diamond shaped iridescent metal crown that has a white halo.

Due to being time, they cannot physically exist in the world without being contained within a vacume of some form such as Space, as they will begin to draw in and absorb all physical matter within an event horizon, potentially causing an implosion or big bang.

### **Disguises**

When talking to Milly, to try to not damage her mind further with its image, Kipthorne takes on the appearance of Milly when she was 17, as well as Joel. According to them, this is because it is using memories of Milly to form the image.

## **Personality**

Kipthorne is suprisingly enthusiastic and cheerful when talking to Milly and anyone new. They love to explain things they know and can be a little smug about it since they do have knowledge of all time and all the events within it.

## **Equipment**

**Orrery**

Kipthorne can use an orrery to control time on different worlds, either slowing them down or speeding them up.

## **Abilities**

**Time Warp**

Kipthorne is able to slow down time or even back track it provided they have experienced that moment already.

**Knowledge of all Time**

Kipthorne is able to know almost anything, however, as they are currently trapped within Milly in their current state, they can only know things from Milly's world and Fracture, as those are the only two places that she has been so far. Anything that has already existed, it can know the answer to, however it cannot know the future. They are hungry for knowledge and are drawn to libraries, and find the glitches useful for at least looking in to other worlds even if they cannot physically interact.

Kipthorne can use Milly's knowledge and interactions with people to know further about their histories.

## **History**

According to Kipthorne, they along with Schwarzchild and Rosenstein have always existed for as long as the universes have existed and there have been people concious to give names and beliefs to the concepts of time, space, and matter.

## **Relationships**

**Milly**

Milly has treated the black goop that is taking over her head and body with great hatred and disdain, and upon begining to know that this entity is part of her somehow, she is both curious and fearful of it. However within Episode 24 when Milly finally does speak with Kipthorne, they apologise and state that it was never intentional for this to happen, and that Milly is in pain partially due to Kipthorne being part of her, and from seeing them in their raw form.

**Schwarzchild**

Schawarzchild is mentioned by Kipthorne in passing, implying that they are trapped with Joel who is still comatose.

## **Quotes**

* "I'm going to need to take a form that will be less damaging to your mind Sweetheart."
* "It's not mean, its you which is me." - To Milly

## **Trivia**

* The name *Kipthorne* is derived from the American theoretical physicist **Kip Stephen Thorne**, who known for his contributions in gravitational physics and astrophysics.
* Kipthorne is a personification or **prosopopoeia** rather than a god, celestial, or demon. The term literally derives from the Greek roots prósopon "face, person", and poiéin "to make, to do;"
