Caleb's Multiverse

## Summary

Caleb's Multiverse is a multiverse comprised of a finite amount of universes, 10^100 to be exact, that was mostly decimated by Caleb himself. Multiple civilizations rule over such a realm and some are capable of reproducing such power again. The finite universes are currently strung far across the Void itself, so as to not destroy themselves entirely. There are no timelines actually, as all of the universes, despite being far apart, are all held together by a super-structure known only as the Pillar of Creation that stands in the center. This Multiverse exists within the realm of the Abyss, which commonly stretches to other finite multiverses in it of itself.

## Civilization Classification

Within Caleb's Multiverse there exists multiple civilizations of varying nature, some are capable of toying around with universes and can ignite such force capable of recreating the multiverse, and others that simply have technology lower than humans. With that in mind, the governing Council of the Multiverse has decided to create a list of classifications.

* **Class 1:** Class 1 Civilizations are the top dogs of the multiverse, with a good chunk of them reigning as the governing Council of the Multiverse. They are races capable of toying around with entire clusters of universes. Whether it be to create, destroy, or manipulate a large cluster, they are capable of doing so. There are even races capable of igniting weapons capable of creating a blast so powerful that it pulls on the power that created the multiverse to erase beings that stand in its way. Once more, some entities are capable of manipulating concepts and use universes as mere ammunition, with weapons that are capable of striking one's information entirely as well. Such races and civilizations use clusters of universes as either fuel for their technology or for large-scale construction of weapons or great structures.
* **Class 2:** Class 2 Civilizations don't have the technology to manipulate entire clusters of universes or use them as ammunition, but still have a large enough presence to slightly bend reality. Races that can commonly travel through time or move throughout the time-stream are placed here if they don't have the tech to manipulate entire universes. They commonly have a large territory over a myriad of universes, their common technology allowing them to traverse between these universes and even across the entire Multiverse. With this form of technology, Class 2 Civilizations are commonly capable of traversing to new universes and realms to take and rule over.
* **Class 3:** Class 3 Civilizations are those that although capable of travel to other universes and realms, need to expend most of their energy to do so. As such, they cannot take over a universe like a Class 2 Civilization and instead must regain such energy in order to do so. There have been talks and rumors that the technology of Class 2 Civilizations are used like artifacts and relics to Class 3 Civilizations, but is still a rumor as of right now. Commonly, Class 3 Civilizations are those that have taken over their entire universe, or a completely united one, but it's not uncommon for Class 3s to be small groups.
* **Class 4:** Class 4 Civilizations are those that are commonly seen as the laughing stock of the Multiverse, these are the civilizations that have just accomplished interstellar travel but often meet opposition along the way to universal domination, and fail. Wars waged within their universes are often seen as entertainment to the higher Classes, with some even being used as ammunition for weapons, or as test subjects to new weapons of mass destruction. In the sight of the higher Classes, such civilizations don't exist.

## The Governing Council

The Governing Council of the Multiverse is a council that currently oversees the infrastructure of the Multiverse. They are the big kahunas, the ones who rule at the top, and are often called 'Gods'. The Council of the Multiverse is comprised of the top 5 entities that currently hold the highest status of Class 1s.

* **The Horrids:** The Horrids are currently kept under a close watch after the last incident, being teaching an entity how to speak their language and exude their presence. They are a race of great and intelligent minds, perhaps being the most intelligent amongst the Council, but that is debatable. After the entity had slaughtered most of their ranks, they are slowly rebuilding themselves back up. Their appearance is that of eldritch horrors that stretch throughout reality, their true form often being capable of driving others mad upon sight.
* **YWVH:** Strangely, this is a single entity that was able to mass-produce avatars of itself, calling itself YWVH, or most commonly, God. Although mass-producing avatars, it feeds off of the very concept of belief itself. It can create multiple clusters of universes, destroy those clusters, and much else. YWVH holds a very high position on the Council due to not only the fear, but also the massive respect it gained from the other Civilizations. A singular entity that was capable of being on-par with the Class 1s, terrifying really.
* **The Old Ones:** The Old Ones are entities that are aliens clad in mechanical armor, existing at the farthest ring of the multiverse, where it is lined with the Abyss. As such, they have no need for the laws of physics, and are capable of going toe-to-toe with most other Class 1s. They seem to wield a sort of technology fused with what appears to be magic to be able to create such clusters and is the main reason why they hold such a high rank amongst the Class 1s.
* **The Anatos:** The Anatos are the newest kids on the block, and possibly the most unique. Unlike other Class 1s, they became a Class 1 and near the highest ranking in the Multiverse, through sheer technological force. That's it, no ascending, no magic, no spirit, just pure technological prowess. Even if they know of their status they are quite humble, but they know when someone's messing with them. After the last incident, they showed their superweapon, a cannon that was capable unleashing the force of a Big Bang, which is what started the multiverse in the first place. Unfortunately, they didn't have time to celebrate as that cannon was immediately decimated and they were near-wiped from existence, and only a few remnants remaining. Luckily, just like the Horrids, they are slowly rebuilding themselves.
* **The Phoenix:** The Phoenix, despite what it's name might imply, is not actually a singular entity. In fact, it is a combination of multiple races that came together in mind, and ascended into the technical first Class 1 Civilization. As such, it is comprised of various entities, but one common theme among them is how they always seem to have stars, whether it be on their clothes, being, or elsewhere, they always seem to have it. They named themselves after their reigning leader and the most powerful force in the Multiverse as of right now, The Phoenix. They seem to have an unrelenting grudge against The Old Ones for some reason, and vice-versa.

## The Phoenix

The Phoenix is a cosmic entity of pure psionic might that was in it of itself, a singular entity worthy of a Class 1 status. No one truly knows where it came from and its origins are mostly a mystery, any attempt made to try and find it go nowhere. However, most don't seem to mind its mysterious origins as it is a benevolent entity. It is what gave rise to the first technical Class 1 Civilization, and reigns supreme. Even YWVH has stepped down in its presence. While mostly distant from the Council, it is often active in crisis where the Multiverse is in danger. It commonly flies around the Multiverse, and will step in when its in danger. There are rumors as to what it does when flying around the cosmos, some say that it has children, others say that its actively looking for threats, but nobody knows what it does.

## The Incident

So, the Horrids screwed up, big time. Yup, they were being complete idiots when they decided to teach one entity, their language and how to exude their presence. One entity known by the name of Caleb Rivera, and for a race of practical super-intelligent beings, they were incredibly dumb in this decision. Originally, the Multiverse had 10^1000 universes, but Caleb decided to go on and destroy so much of the Multiverse that the number was lowered to 10^100. That much destruction, in such a short amount of time as well. He seemed to be on a singular goal, to lower the amount of universes, as he didn't even try to gun for the Pillar of Creation in the first place. Luckily, the Multiverse was saved by an even bigger threat, an entity that even Caleb served. No one knew who it was or what it's goal was, but for the time being, Caleb was whisked away.

Immediately afterwards, the Multiverse began preparing if Caleb ever came back, with urgency. Even some Class 1 Civilizations pitched in to help Class 2s and 3s to try and help them ascend to their status. Surprisingly, The Phoenix was never seen in this conflict and this worried everyone. Immediately they began to search all over the Multiverse for it, but nothing. A few months later and The Phoenix inexplicably appeared, unharmed and not even worried about anything. The Governing Council immediately sprang into action, calling out questions for it to answer. The Phoenix only answered that it was busy at the time repelling another threat.

So, everyone became even more urgent at another threat, the Governing Council making sure that it was not lying at all. Sure enough, it wasn't, there was another threat out there. So once more, everyone became extremely worried and began to prepare for the worst. Even YWVH, who normally stayed distant, decided to help. Class 1 Civilizations constructed the use of superweapons similar to The Anatos' own, and speaking of that race, it was still rebuilding itself from the near-conceptual ashes. There was obvious help from other races and soon they came back onto the Governing Council. So far, nothing has happened yet, but the Multiverse is waiting for baited breath for what might come.
