 Nobody truly knows where y originates from, but it has become a truly formidable entity. Legends go, that y existed within a universe almost identical to that of which the Bangclaw story takes place, however, y somehow ascended the restraints of mortality within its world and became callous towards its previous species and destroyed them. The gods of that universe were angered and readied themselves to smite y, however y had surpassed even them, manipulating the essences of space and time, it killed everything that opposed it.

y's cosmic knowledge has seeped through the cracks of the Bangclaw universe and have been buried in a place nobody dare tread, Quotev.com. The knowledge, if it can be called such, are horribly cryptic and seemingly nonsensical quizzes which test the users on various spiritual and mental levels. Those who answer correctly are given a fragment of the knowledge needed to bring y into the Bangclaw universe.

These fragments must *never* come together.

## Lore

The following information is gathered from multiple accounts from various people who glimpsed into the fragments of knowledge that y deposited into the universe, most, if not all went insane at some point after studying y.

y is rumored to originate from the earth realm in its universe, nobody knows what organism it began as, where precisely it was born or what era it was born into. All that is known is what happened once it began hoarding arcane knowledge. Apparently, this knowledge allowed y to acquire inhuman (it is not even known if y was human) powers. Though this has happened before within the Bangclaw realm, with magi such as Tetra, the thing that sets them apart is what they did afterwards. y literally learnt and mastered every magic there was to learn. Realizing its time would be short, it scrounged for the secret of immortality and found a method. Once performed, y immediately went back to researching and learning even more things. The whole immortality stunt had allegedly angered that universe's god of death, and they went down to claim y's soul.

This is supposedly at the most crucial point in y's development, as it had transferred its interests from knowledge, to power. y had started absorbing human essence to make itself more powerful and had even found an experimental way of absorbing a god's soul. When the god of death came down, it was too arrogant to believe that the earth realm could have produced such a powerful being, and was promptly destroyed via atmospheric manipulation, a feat y could now pull off with mind power alone. Needless to say, the very essence of death itself made y more powerful than it ever should have become. Its vigorous studies had lead it to understand that it was capable of cataclysmic things such as molecular manipulation or the power to reform stars, so long as it had enough power to do such. How was it going to achieve this power? By killing even more and absorbing their souls.

The gods, still arrogant, believed death was a screw up and sent only a couple of deities to fight y at a time. This was another colossal mistake, y easily disposed of the lesser deities, becoming more and more powerful, at this point, it no longer needed any resources that normal animals require (food, water, shelter, air) and could warp the fabric of space to its liking. The more powerful gods at the time were realizing what a mistake it was to treat y as a minor nuisance and whilst they were planning an attack, y had discovered a separate realm with a thin connection to the earth realm.

The chromozone of y's universe. Instead of travelling to it like many did in the Bangclaw universe, y instead pulled the two realms together, rupturing galaxies and forcing the two drastically different realms to try and acclimatize with one another. The resulting technicolor hellscape became known as "**y's realm**". The heavy space time distortions caused by this merging caused many of the attacking deities to be weakened or even killed, but a select few made it to y. Those that did, saw not a man, nor an alien or any creature they had sculpted, they say a white, 3 dimensional shape of the letter y. And it was more powerful than any of them combined.

Once y had absorbed the gods' souls, its nature was changed. By absorbing the god of life's soul, it began to grow in power by letting life grow in its newly created realm. An equal measure of power was given to y for letting life live, as it was for taking it away. Because of this, it thought it best to let life occur "normally" in y's realm as the natural cycle of life would provide him with a constant influx of power. However, y still thirsted for power.

The colossal influx of power from exterminating life in *its* universe had left it thirsting for an equally as large jump in power. It had to leave y's realm to its devices and the heaven realm had already been cleaned of life. y theorized that there must be other universes and eventually discovered a bridge between two universes. y's universe, and Bangclaw's universe, going straight into the mortal realm. y could not bridge the gap and would need help on the other side to do so, thus it began to feed fragments of its knowledge through the crack. People who received this knowledge would be offered a job essentially. They bridge the gap between the two realms, in return they will be spared from the inevitable extermination. Although it sounds stupid to let such a being into the Bangclaw universe, those who find y's fragments are teased with its knowledge. The meaning of life, the end of the universe and most intriguing of all; how the crack between their universes is growing, and one way or another, y *will* enter the Bangclaw universe.

## Trivia

* Y is not only the most powerful being in its universe, but currently the only being still capable of sentience left in its universe.
* Y was named after Y being the only noise it was capable of emitting, except from a collective ghostly murmuring of all the lives it has claimed and auditory ruptures in the space time continuum.
