Daughters of the Overseer

The **Daughters of the Overseer** were the spiritual offspring of the Overseer, a divine entity partly responsible for the creation of the universe. Five daughters existed at any given time, gifted with extraordinary magical abilities allowing them to manipulate the forces of the universe itself. Each of the five daughters possessed abilities associated with an aspect of the universe:

* The **Daughter of Time** could bend the natural, physical rules of time.
* The **Daughter of Space** could shift and control the cosmos that made up the universe.
* The **Daughter of Reality** could shift the very fabric of reality and bend it to her will.
* The **Daughter of Utility** could wield and cast countless different magical arts with mastery.
* The **Daughter of Nothing** could erase anything out of existence, and out of memory.

Throughout history, the daughters used their divine abilities to shape the universe, for better or worse, and either in secret or out in the open. The powers of the daughters created many myths and legends about incredible wielders of magic. Some revered the daughters while some sought to take the power for themselves—even though all attempts to steal a daughter's power were futile. However, most of the galaxy remained completely unfamiliar with the daughters and their strength over the universe's will.

## Transfer of Power

When a Daughter of the Overseer passed away, her powers were immediately passed down to a newborn child somewhere else in space, born the moment of the predecessor's demise. This young child would grow into learning about the scope of their abilities, choosing whether or not to fight injustice with their powers, to suppress and ignore them, or even to use them to conquer the world (although thankfully, the latter rarely happened throughout universal history). The cycle of life and death for a Daughter of the Overseer would ensure that their powers were never lost, and that the universe would continue to live on with five daughters existing at any point in time.

Most Daughters of the Overseer were born in the Cassiopeia Galaxy, despite having been able to traverse and bend the will of the entirety of the universe. The reasons for this are unclear to many, even to those who watched over the daughters. Some theorized that this quality was the Overseer's doing, but for what reasons the Overseer would have for the daughters to be born in a single galaxy remained a mystery.

## Daughter of Time

The **Daughter of Time** had the ability to the bend natural, physical rules of time. Because of how immense of a power the Daughter of Time held over the fabric of the universe, she was often delegated to a remote location in the cosmos, where she would be protected and watched over by a pair of Angels known as the Keepers.

## Daughter of Space

The **Daughter of Space** had the ability to shift and control the cosmos that made up the universe. This included the ability to easily travel anywhere in the universe within an instant. Some Daughters of Space were known to have been powerful enough to move around entire stars, planets, moons, and other celestial bodies.

## Daughter of Reality

The **Daughter of Reality** had the ability to shift the very fabric of reality and bend it to her will. This included the ability to travel to other realities and dimensions thought to be alternate parallel universes. Changing existing things and manifesting new things into reality was also part of their skillset.

## Daughter of Utility

The **Daughter of Utility** had the ability to wield and cast countless different magical arts to a masterful degree. This meant the Daughters of Utility were capable of mastering all sorts of magic types found throughout the various worlds and cultures of the universe, making them extremely versatile. Because of this ability, the Daughter of Utility represented the people of the universe and the vast range in applications of magic.

## Daughter of Nothing

The **Daughter of Nothing** had the ability to erase anything out of existence, and out of memory. Many considered the power held by the Daughters of Nothing to be the most destructive compared to the other four domains. While some viewed their power as dark magic, most Daughters of Nothing used their divine abilities for the betterment of the universe.

## Trivia
