Time

**Time** is an ancient pre-existential entity of immense power. Having existed since the beginning of time alongside God and the other Pre-Existential Entities, Time is so old that it cannot remember which of the Pre-Existential Entities is the oldest.

## Physical Appearence

Time's true form can only be seen by very powerful cosmic entities such as angels, gods and demons. It is described as a colossal clock-shaped figure, which emanates a brilliant light that blinds lower beings. Time's form is composed of threads of light that intertwine, creating an intricate structure that spans the Multiverse.

If an ordinary human were to glimpse Time's true form, the consequences could be dire. The vision can cause temporary or permanent blindness, and can lead to insanity or death. This is because Time's true form is very powerful and is beyond human comprehension.

When Time takes a human form, he is depicted as a tall, slender figure with raven hair and deep-set eyes. His skin is pale and shiny, and he exudes an aura of authority and power. His appearance is usually accompanied by a sense of weight and significance.

To focus and concentrate his powers, Time manifests a ring that is made of gold. The ring is adorned with arcane and strange symbols representing the power and essence of Time, as well as amethyst stones within it. It is considered a sacred object and is used with great respect and care. The ring is used to control time and manipulate reality, allowing Time to exert its will over the Multiverse.

## History

### Background

Death states that he doesn't remember Time before Creation and says that he is a Pre-Existential Entity by a close as he is the youngest of them all and may have appeared just before the Big Bang and the birth of the Old Gods.

Time himself said he didn't remember exactly, but he claims he was there when Therion succumbed to madness and was imprisoned in the Abyss, which happened shortly after the end of the creation of the Astral Plane and the Mystic Plane.

Time plotted the direction and size of the Universe's timeline and enacted the laws governing the flow of time, Time also spawned the Chronists and Observers, the Chronists would help time to manage the flow of time, and the Observers were to document and catalog everything that occurred.

Time would eventually form an alliance with the Supreme Council of the Multiverse, assisting them in maintaining time and even providing them with some Chronists and Observers.

### Monstercalypse

When Rafael began to seek the rings of the Pre-Existential Entities to channel their power to hold Therion and his rebellious behemoths back, Rafael invoked Time and Time appeared. Instead of acting hostile like his brothers, Time greeted him politely.

Rafael asks what Time wants; Time snaps back 'Take the damn leash off my neck' before explaining that he never agreed to work for Lucifer. He goes on to explain that he has power beyond what Rafael can understand and Satan, whom he spit out like 'a naughty child', is using him as a simple weapon, raising the dead, rewriting the past and sending things through time. This indicates that Time is very careful about the Natural Order and Satan and Therion's genocide against humanity is troubling him. He goes on to explain that the binding spell prevents him from going to Rafael, so he had to wait for him to catch up. Rafael suggests that Anazel break the spell, as she will just absorb the souls of Hell and Purgatory to at least get close to the level of Pre-Existential Entities, Time says that Anazel would not reach the level of Pre-Existential Entities even if she absorbed all the existing souls and therefore she could not.

He then willingly takes off his ring. He tells Rafael that he is inclined to give him the ring if certain conditions are met. His conditions are that Raphael must do everything in his power to ensure that Lucifer is put back in his cell. While Henry will be the one to put Lucifer back in the cage, Rafael must allow it - even if it means killing Henry by letting him jump into the cage. Rafael reluctantly agrees as Rafael warns him to keep his word saying that he cannot cheat Time, and if he does, Time will know about it immediately. He then gives Rafael the instructions on how to operate the rings which combine to form a key-like device.

### Universal Wars

While he was never directly involved in either of the two universal wars, the archives of the Supreme Council of the Multiverse say that he aided the forces of law and order indirectly by providing resources, Chronists, and mystical artifacts previously considered lost.

## Personality

Time exhibits a practical, impartial, sardonic, and insightful attitude. Dispassionate and even icy, he is not without honor and even nobility. Due to his nigh-omnipotent power and incredibly advanced age, Time is completely cut off from the rest of the universe, rarely showing himself to be connecting with the people or beings that live within it. He even went so far as to compare Rafael to a bacterium, as if to assert that his view of the importance of humans is exactly how humans view the importance of bacteria. The fact that he said this to Rafael is also notable, considering how Rafael is the only person he has ever shown an interest in, this could be due to Rafael being a Living Conductor. Even when Anazel became extraordinarily powerful after absorbing the souls of Hell and Purgatory, Time showed his aloof attitude and seemed downright disinterested: implying that he considered Anazel as insignificant as everyone else. Furthermore, he cares very little about major world events such as the Monstercalypse, and despite his coerced involvement by Lucifer and Satan, he only pays events a vague interest, resulting in his tendency to stray from his designated targets.

## Powers

As the primordial living concept of time itself, Time is among the most powerful entities in existence. He is capable of accelerating the aging of anyone and anything and can even accelerate the aging of the universe until it reaches its heat death or reverts it to when it was born as a result of the Big Bang.

* **Pre-Existential Entity Physiology**: Despite being the youngest Pre-Existential Entity, Time is between one of the most powerful beings.
	+ **Immortality**: Time obviously does not age and is immune to disease.
	+ **Nigh-Invulnerability**: Time is invulnerable to virtually everything, except things made from Primorptonite, a material created by God capable of weakening and killing Pre-Existential Entities if they get out of control.
	+ **High-Tier Nigh-Omnipotence**: Time is endowed with virtually unlimited power. Time exerts absolute control over the entire flow of time.
		- **Chronokinesis**: Time can shape and alter all time to its will. Upon meeting Rafael, Time stopped time around so they could talk. Time is said to be able to speed up and slow down time on a universal scale, such as going back to the Big Bang or accelerating to the end.
			* **Timeline Creation**: Time can create, manipulate, and destroy entire timelines at will. Upon meeting Rafael, Time said that he was the one who created the first timeline and he is responsible for creating alternate timelines.
			* **Paradoxes & Time Loops Manipulation**: Time can create time loops and manipulate time paradoxes at will, he is the generator of the time loops and paradoxes that make up the time prisons used by Chronists.
		- **Resurrection**: Time has claimed to be able to reverse death by slowing down time in the physical body and soul, but does not do so due to its commitment to the Natural Order.
	+ **High-Tier Nigh-Omniscience**: Time is gifted with near-limitless knowledge about the nature of Creation and the goings-on within it, however what prevents them from being truly omniscient is because some powerful spells can conceal something from their knowledge, as well as things purposefully hidden by God. Time observes all time in a non-linear way and he can know what happens even in the Abyss. Time knew what Rafael was seeking even before he was invoked, and Time stated that he would know if Rafael didn't keep his end of the deal.
	+ **Nigh-Omnipresence**: In its true form, Time is able to exist everywhere at once except the Abyss. By assuming a physical form, he loses his omnipresence.

### Weaknesses

* **God**: God is the most powerful being in existence and the only one capable of definitively defeating Time.
* **Pre-Existential Entities**: Other primordial entities can defeat Time if they combine their powers, and while they cannot kill him, they can weaken him.
* **Primorptonite**: Stuff made from Primorptonite can cause lasting damage to Time and can cripple him to the point of near death.
* **Magic**: There are protections that can prevent Time from entering the places where the symbols are placed, from knowing what happens there.
	+ **Binding Spell**: This spell can bind Pre-Existential Entities to casters and can compel them to follow its orders. Time was able to resist the spell partially, however even he was not able to fully escape the spell's influence and one way or another ended up obeying the caster.
