## Biography

As quickly as the pain had struck him, it left, leaving Mason feeling completely empty inside. He couldn’t feel, see, hear, or touch anything, it was like all of his senses were suddenly ripped away from him. Where Mason’s body had been laying within the ruined remnants of StaticTale, the book he had been carrying with him now began to shimmer and glow, this light becoming brighter and brighter, almost to appear like that of a second sun. Though suddenly, it vanished altogether, Mason’s body, or what was left of it, included. By this point, Mason was in fact dead, his soul having shattered milliseconds after he had been hit within the blast radius of The Vicissitude. Though his death was unjustified, and this simply wouldn’t do for a very specific someone. The conceptual construct that made up what Mason had been still remained within the ruins of StaticTale, and the entity that had taken his body was well aware of this, so after having safely secured the body, the figure would return, a faint, purely white orb-like object was now floating on the ground, this of course only being visible to the entity, though with one swift sweep of their hand, the orb was now within their grasp. This was an odd feeling for Mason to say the least, given that while he sat in the eternal nothingness, he had suddenly felt a tight grip on his chest. This knocked the wind out of him as he sat there gasping for several moments.

The skeleton had frantically been looking around at the darkness around him for several minutes before slowly calming down. This being until his body soon began to  ease, given how tense he had been, this was also a shock to the skeleton, saying he had no idea why, or how his body could be so relaxed, yet his mind continued to race. While all of this was going on, the book that Mason always kept with him had quite literally appeared out of thin air, falling into his hands with a light thud. Mason, who was clearly confused by the sudden appearance of the book, held it within his hands, though upon opening it, there weren’t any pages within it despite how when the book was closed, it appeared entirely normal. Instead, there was a glistening soul, it looked as if it had been crafted from the very fabric of space and potentially time itself. Mason could most certainly sense the sheer power radiating from the soul, and with no other option, he slowly reached out his hand, allowing the soul to slowly descend down upon his palm. He had felt the bottom tip of the soul gently graze his palm before it suddenly shot forward directly into his torso. The skeleton had been knocked off his feet and after taking several moments to recover from it, while also adjusting to the feeling of the new soul within his body, a large, blinding white light could be made out in the distance. Once having seen the bright light, Mason acted like a moth that was attracted to a lamp, now practically sprinting toward the light. The longer he ran, the faster he seemed to be, as the light started slowly moving closer, though overtime, he could notice how immense his speed had grown, this being until he greatly underestimated his speed, due to his mind not being able to relate his movement to anything other than the light, so before he could even comprehend it, Mason had ran head on into the light.

Mason woke up breathing heavily, beads of sweat running down the sides of his skull as he jolted up, now sitting in an upright position. The skeleton took several minutes to compute what he had previously gone through, but what then caught his attention was the fact that he wasn’t in his home anymore. Instead, he appeared to be floating within the vastness of space, yet he wasn’t drifting off in any given direction. Mason attempted to stand up, presuming he wouldn’t be able to, yet he was able to feel a solid object beneath him, yet there was nothing there. Anyone in his situation would’ve been confused, yet he had many other things to worry about as a figure had now formed above the skeleton, they appeared to be in a hammock of sorts, the strings stretching out infinitely in all directions. That’s when the next abnormal event had occurred, he heard humming. Given there was no oxygen in space, sound normally can’t travel through space, yet the source of the humming was coming from the figure from the hammock. Mason seemed agitated that he couldn’t confront the figure, though almost as if in response to his very thoughts, the figure simply vanished, now reforming beside the skeleton. The figure had revealed themselves to be none other than the Goddess of the Cosmos herself, Aysun. The Goddess had explained everything to Mason, how he had been killed during his world’s demise, though she had resurrected him, his death being “unjustified” as she put it. Mason, who was still confused about the whole concept of coming back from the dead, decided it was best not to question the Goddess. He soon found out that in return for his salvation, he had to repay her, and this request was to help maintain balance across the many verses. Mason had been given new clothing, a new name, and due to his new soul, several new abilities that he’d have to adjust to. This being the process that was later to be dated as the Birth of Ellipse.

## Personality

Ellipse isn’t what most would consider a ‘friendly guy’ given he hates having to socially interact with people; He only talks whenever he feels it’s necessary, or if he’s with people that he truly trusts (Mostly family and friends he’s made throughout his journeys). He’s also known for not really showing any sort of emotion, as while he’s not entirely emotionless, he’s suppressed his emotions and own thoughts to the point where they practically don’t exist, blocking who he once was out of his mind (or he tried to anyways). While he may be rather intimidating, given most don’t want to approach him, if someone is able to break through the persona that he’s created for himself, they’ll find none other than the young boy he once was. Deep down, Ellipse is nothing more than a child who wants to restore everything he’s lost, including the relationships and bonds he had with those he held so dearly to himself. He also enjoys peace and quiet, given he often spends his time in the depths of space; most of the time he wanders from galaxy to galaxy, continuing to further his knowledge and exploration. Ellipse always found himself captivated by what could possibly lay beyond the reality they reside in, one of his goals being to reach out to what most referred to as “The Outerverse” which is what most presume is everything that exists outside of the Omniverses, however still resides within existence.

If someone actually manages to anger Ellipse (Which is highly unlikely), he’ll become very irrational,given he usually tends to think out every little detail, no matter the circumstance. Ellipse usually can maintain a calm and level-headed persona, however when angered or frustrated, he’ll quickly lash out at people, even getting physical at times. While he does tend to move quicker and become more accurate with his attacks, he often tires himself out quickly when in a fit of rage, which was why he had begun all sorts of meditation, most of which he had learned from Aysun. Ellipse will also begin to swear when he’s getting irritated, as while he doesn’t do it often, he feels that it, in a weird sense, helps him vent out his frustration, helping him with maintaining his calm and usual persona. It’ll usually take a lot to calm Ellipse down, given once he has his mind set on something, whether it be to eliminate someone, or achieve a goal, he **will** accomplish it, one way or another.

## Abilities

### Stellar Radiation

Ellipse naturally gives off an aura which helps in blocking attacks and other forms of harmful objects and attacks. This aura is often invisible to the naked eye, however it can be felt if someone comes within close contact with Ellipse. While when within close range of someone, he can begin to burn and disintegrate their vessel with the radiated star dust, Ellipse can also choose who he allows to bypass this aura of his. The intensity of this radiation varies on his mood, as well as the amount of magic he’s using, as it can range from being basically nothing to being equal to that of a sun. Ellipse can also harness all the energy and raw power from this aura, creating a large blue/purple sphere within his palms and with this sphere, he can either throw it or create a thin, yet powerful beam from his fingertips. Both forms will easily be able to wipe out entire Universes, however the sphere can do so much quicker.

### Extensive Matter Control

Ellipse is able to manipulate Matter that’s around him, either this be of an object, being, or general mass as a whole. Ellipse can use this ability as a sorts of Blue Magic, allowing him to change the gravitational impact on a soul, objects, or even how strong or weak a planet’s gravitational pull is (this can also be used when in areas such as an Anti-Void, though it’d be simplified down to only being able to change the gravity and air pressure). Furthermore, Ellipse can concentrate high amounts of air pressure into a single spot, allowing him to create either a primordial black hole, which is about the size of a single atom but has the mass of a large mountain), to Stellar Black Holes, which have the mass of about 20 times of our sun Sol yet can still fit within a 16,000 meter ball (or about 16 Kilometers). Ellipse can also create White holes that are equal in size, however, they’ll function the total opposite of black holes. These white holes however will be able to push entities, objects and almost anything that’s around them away. Once the white or black hole has used up all the magic that was used to create it, it’ll either implode or explode. Black holes will implode on themselves, often sucking in anything that’s within several hundred meters of where the black hole is, while White holes will explode, launching anything within a 1500 meter radius backwards.

### **Intergalactic Duality**

Ellipse's blades can connect together, making a dual sided blade, also known as Intergalactic Duality. This blade has the same effects as both the Suntera and Moonattra Blades, though their damage and powers are both heavily amplified, though within this state, the two can combine their powers to create a solar eclipse. Once the Moon has fully blocked out the sun, everyone affected by the solar eclipse will have a loss of magic until the eclipse is over. These solar eclipses last about ten minutes. With this, Ellipse can create a beam that combines the effects of the Moonattra and Suntera blades, but is double the size of the Suntera Blade’s beam.

#### **Suntera Blade**

Ellipse is often seen with two blades, one of these blades will resemble the sun, the other resembling the moon. The Suntera Blade will have orangish-red flames surrounding it, as this blade can cut through anything at the degrees of the surface of the sun. When the magic that’s used to power the blade is activated, the sun emblem on the handle will too begin to glow an orangish-red. The blade itself will be a clean silver color, the metal used to craft the blade is unknown, though it’s said to be some of the most durable minerals within the entire ManicVerse. The handle is made of what seems like rubber, or some sort of mineral that allows for a tight grip, the color of it being black though once the solar magic within the blade is activated, it’ll begin to turn an almost gold color, this also goes with the blade itself. Ellipse can send quick, and powerful slashes from this blade upon activating the solar energy within it; these slashes are capable of cutting through nearly anything with the power of at least thousands of suns. The Suntera Blade can also cast a large, and powerful beam from the tip of the blade, this beam ranging up to being a few meters in radius. This beam deals heavy damage and scorches anything it comes in contact with, this in turn, results in a DOT (Damage over Time), almost acting like karma, but it works on anyone. The fire that’s caused by this beam will deal ⅛ of an entity’s total health, no matter the defense.

#### Moonattra Blade

The Moonattra Blade looks exactly like the Suntera Blade when not harnessing any magic, however on the handle, there will be a Moon emblem instead of a sun. Once the Lunar energy within the blade is put into effect, the blade will gain what appears to be a misty, purple aura, the blade itself will also be tinted with this purple hue as the same goes for the handle as well. With this, the Moonattra Blade holds the capability of creating objects up to the size of a large moon, which can be thrown wherever Ellipse pleases. Along with this, Ellipse can mentally impact whoever’s in a close proximity of where he is (this however won’t work against beings who are practically inseparable with their soul), meaning he can do anything from cast hallucinations, to stopping bodily functions (This however can’t be anything lethal), the effects can range anywhere from a few minutes to several days, depending on the amount of magic used. The Moonattra Blade can also fire a thin, yet quick blast that targets an entity’s soul, and if it comes in contact with said soul, it’ll either drain all the magic that’s within the entity’s vessel, or shatter the soul that it came in contact with.

### Solar Sysmatic Smash

Ellipse is able to create entire solar systems whenever he pleases, or he can pull in the closest solar systems to where he currently is. He’s also able to use certain percentages of this ability, each percent allowing for a different level of power to be used. The more energy that Ellipse gives off, the easier it’ll make for him to pull in and/or create entire solar systems.

##### 12%

Using only 12% of Ellipse’s Solar Smash, he’ll be able to create and throw several clusters of small asteroids at a time, but that’s about it. These space rocks usually range from that of a small car to possibly a medium sized house at most. While they may not seem to be much of a threat, if he wished, create meteor showers using these asteroids; this resulting in far more damage than using the space rocks individually.

##### 25%

Using only 25% of this ability would result in the creation or summoning of small to medium planets. These planets are pretty average and they’re pretty easy to destroy or counter. Due to the low amounts of magic required for these planets, they’re rather slow too, making them easy to avoid for the most part.

##### 50%

Upon using 50% of this ability, Ellipse can summon large planets, such as those equal to the sizes of Jupiter and Saturn. These larger planets will be far quicker and heavier (obviously) due to their immense size and mass. With this, he’ll be able to create planet sized asteroids, though these asteroids won’t be normal, as they’ll be infused with a decent amount of Ellipse’s magic, making them explode on impact. The sheer force of this impact is capable of wiping out several planets and altering the revolutions of nearby planets (if any are nearby).

##### 65%

Using 65% of this ability will allow Ellipse to become more efficient with his attacks, given this percent is basically a combined version of the previous two percent stages. While only being able to create and cast large/small planets and asteroids, they’re far larger in mass, but not in size. This change in mass is what makes these planets and asteroids far more dangerous, given they’ll be able to wipe out entire clusters of planets.

##### 80%

Ellipse by this point is able to create entire solar systems, being able to manipulate it as he pleases, as well as being able to throw said solar system down upon the foe he’s encountered. While a Solar System may seem less effective than being able to rain down planets from above, due to the solar system’s total mass and sheer size, that’s what makes it far more powerful than just being able to cast planetary clusters.

##### 100%

It’s pretty self explanatory, given it’s almost exactly the same as 80%, the only difference being that the solar systems are far larger in size, mass, etc. Furthermore, Ellipse will be able to create and unleash several Solar Systems at a time. This also gives him full control over the suns that are at the center of said solar systems, meaning if he wished, he could force them to both collapse into Supernovas.

### Elliptical Blasters

These blasters are far larger than traditional blasters, and they’ll look to be a fusion of sorts from two separate blasters. The blaster is split down the middle, the left side being a bright, almost neon orange color to represent his solar energy, the other side being a dark purple that’s glowing, however it’s glow isn’t anything compared to that of the left side. These blasters will rapidly deal ⅓ of an entity’s health, no matter what type of defense they have. These blasters also have two separate modes too, Solar and Lunar. The left side of the blaster will have a purple eye light with a black eye socket (Solar Side), the right side (Lunar side) will have a neon orange eye light with a blazing white eye socket.

#### Sol Blasters

In the Solar Mode, it’s quite similar to that of the Suntera blade, meaning upon being hit by the blaster, it’ll deal a severe burn effect (this effect takes away ⅕ of someone’s current health).These blasters fire far quicker than both the Elliptical Blasters and the Lunar Blasters.

#### Lunar Blasters

The Lunar Blasters are somewhat different from their blade counterpart, as while they fire slower than the Solar Blasters, they’re quicker than the Elliptical Blasters. These blasters will fire three beams, which all will cause a sense of fatigue within whoever they hit, as they’ll slow down the flow of magic throughout one’s body. Furthermore, these blasters can make whoever gets hit by it start to hallucinate. These effects usually only last a few minutes, though if getting hit several times, these effects will stack on top of each other.

### Universal Eruption

Ellipse is able to create a small dark purple sphere within the palm of his hand, allowing him to throw this sphere up into the air. Once this sphere has reached its peak altitude, which is several thousand meters up in the air; the sphere will then drop down into the ground at speeds that are capable of shattering the sound barrier. The impact of this sphere alone can create winds that can get up to 200-400mph (this depends on the size of the sphere). Upon the sphere coming in contact with the ground, large cracks will begin to form across the universe that the sphere was used in; these cracks will begin to glow with a dark purple as the energy they give off becomes radioactive, a large crater also being formed where the sphere hit the ground. After a few moments of silence, purple flames will shoot out of all the cracks in the ground, a purple lava-like substance doing the same. This lava will burn through almost anything that it comes in contact with. Once the lava has done its damage, the sphere that Ellipse had summoned will then combust due to the immense heat that the lava had radiated (keep in mind, this heat is equal to the temperature of the sun’s core, so 27 million degrees Fahrenheit, or 15 million in Celcius). This explosion will completely obliterate the entirety of the Universe it was within as well as severely damaging all of the neighboring universes.

### UltraNova

Not much needs to be said about the UltraNova, as it’s really just a larger version of a SuperNova. Ellipse is able to concentrate high amounts of energy and radiation into an area that’s equal to about three molecules in size. Once the pressure reaches a certain degree a bright yellow ball will begin to form. This ball will be small enough that it can fit in Ellipse’s fist, however in this state, it’s power is equal to that of one hundred suns. This small sphere will soon begin to shift from yellow, to red, to blue, to white, and upon reaching the point of a white star, it’ll begin to expand at a rapid rate, being able to engulf entire solar systems within seconds. After absorbing 2-5 solar systems, the star’s pressure will begin to rapidly decrease until it can’t sustain its size and mass, this will cause the star to implode in on itself, creating an UltraNova due to its sheer size.

### Solar Regeneration

When in the presence of a star or anything that can create enough heat to match that of a sun, he’ll have an easier time regenerating health, as he won’t need to use much, if any of his magic to regenerate his health. With this, he’ll be able to regenerate his magic quicker too, allowing him to create a cycle of regenerating his magic and health. If he’s able to get this cycle going, it could prove to be quite difficult to weaken or kill him.

### Cosmic Transportation

This is merely just Ellipse's variation of teleporting, as it allows him to transport the entirety of his vessel and soul from one place to another. This is the only ability that's able to use the power of the Cosmic Soul without said soul being out of its vial. The only downside to this is that if Ellipse were to lose or have the vial taken from him, he'd lose his ability to teleport, making it harder to get from place to place. If this were to happen, Ellipse can cast large asteroids that can travel at high speeds, making for yet another way of transportation, despite it not being nearly as quick or effective as teleporting, it's quicker than running, that's for sure.

### Multiversal Fluctuation

Ellipse has a vial that’s around his neck; the vial itself was given to him by Aysun, though he’s unsure of where she got it from. Though little to Ellipse’s awareness, the soul that’s within the vial is an exact replica of Aysun’s soul, as while the user of this soul can, to an extent, do everything that Aysun herself can, it’s heavily limited due to the entity’s vessel most likely not being able to handle and comprehend the sheer power that it holds. While Ellipse isn’t anywhere near strong enough to comprehend the true power of the Cosmic Soul, he can however harness enough of its power to alter the entirety of the Multiverse that he finds himself within, or the nearest Multiverse to where he currently is (only if he’s outside of the Multiverse). The only way that Ellipse can use the power of the soul is to break the vial that it resides in.

#### Multiversal Manipulation

Not much needs to be said, however with the Cosmic Soul, Ellipse is able to manipulate and alter the entirety of a Multiverse and everything within it, down to the very fragments of code that make up said Multiverse. Ellipse can also create small blue spheres, each one having the mass of an entire Multiverse while only being the size of a tennis ball. Ellipse can throw these spheres wherever he pleases, dealing catastrophic damage to anything they come in contact with.

#### Wrath of the Cosmos

Ellipse can create two large hands, both of which will emerge from two portals, each portal being the size of a large planet, the hands being slightly smaller than the portals so they can fit through. These hands will be entirely black, though after a few moments, the design of the hands will change to look exactly like a galaxy, having thousands, if not millions of stars on them, as well as all other sorts of stellar objects. These hands can fire large and powerful beams from their fingertips, the beam alone is able to wipe out multiple AUs with ease, or overall just cause mass destruction, the damage can be altered by Ellipse. Along with this, the hands can do all sorts of other tasks, such as being able to crush entire solar systems within their palms, create Supermassive Black holes/white holes, etc.

## Weaknesses

Ellipse, like his other brothers, suffers from PTSD due to the destruction of StaticTale, however, he's learned how to better control it compared to that of his brothers. Furthermore, Ellipse's attacks often are magic consuming, meaning if he's not in a place where he can visually see, or feel the heat of a star (or something that can radiate heat that equals a star), he'll most likely end up draining far too much magic, making it difficult for him to fight properly.

## Relationships

Devastation: Ellipse simply feels pity for what Percy has become, as he remembers all too well how Percy was one of the, if not, the nicest person he had ever met, it truly is a shame that, in Ellipse’s eyes, Devastation received the worst fate of them all.

Encryption: Ellipse and Encryption have grown to be mutuals more than anything, as neither of them really interact with one another, yet when the time comes, they won’t hesitate to join together to take down a greater foe.

Specter: Similar to Devastation, Ellipse pities the fate that Thomas met, being killed during their world’s destruction wasn’t exactly an ideal way to die, though Thomas had been reincarnated into what’s now known as The Specter, and Ellipse simply tolerates him.

Dahlia: Ellipse deep down still has a burning hatred for his mother, just as the rest of his brothers do, yet Ellipse almost forces himself to let the events of the past go. Dahlia was entirely behind the destruction of StaticTale, and Ellipse knows this, yet he just can’t look at her the same way he did during his previous life, whoever Dahlia had become, it was not the same woman he once called mother.

Obscurity: Ellipse was never really extremely close with Obscurity, even prior to StaticTale’s demise, Ajax and Mason never spent much time together, unless their entire family was there. Ellipse is aware of what happened to Ajax during the destruction of StaticTale, though has no means to venture to the nothingness of the Void.

## Trivia

* Ellipse was often teased when he was younger, back before StaticTale's Destruction for a number of reasons, the main one being that it took him far longer than any of his brothers to hit his growth spurt; this meaning that for quite some time, he was the shortest member of the Gaster Family.
