## Backstory

Merus was made by his mother, Edra, Goddess of the Cosmos, as a weapon to use against the conduits. Previously, Edra had tried many, many, MANY attempts in order to create a Bio-Conduit, to which Merus was the final result. During his existence, Merus has gone on many adventures with his mother, Himmsworth, and Prism.

For his storyline, you can find it on the Staffverse wiki here: Eden's Bio-Anomaly.

## Appearance

In Bio-Anomaly chapters 1-12, Merus takes on the appearance of a 10 year old Male. He is quite pale, has a white shirt and white hair that takes on the conditions of a White Dwarf star. He has crystal-like eyes that shimmer in almost any light. Lastly, unlike his mother, Merus wears socks instead of being barefoot.

A year or two later, in the side-story 'Training in Woa', Merus takes on relatively the same appearance. Merus now wears a white long sleeved collared shirt that's rolled up to his elbows, along with that he has finger-less gloves. Merus also wears long blue pants with toe-less socks. He still retains his White dwarf star hair, for now.

## Personality

Being the child that Merus is, he is a very happy go lucky kid, always the optimistic out of everyone he meets. Despite being the child of Edra, Merus is quite happy and is willing to see the bright side of things, even if the world is so cruel and bleak. He's a very curious kid, willing to explore and ask questions. He believes there is still good in the world but the young are often so oblivious

## Relationships

* Edra, the Goddess of the Cosmos: Merus loves his mother to death, the bond between them is strong and nearly unbreakable. Merus knows he was made to be a weapon, yet he never let that ruin his relationship with his mother. The two really care for each other, as Mother and Son. Surprisingly she’s not that bad.

* Himmsworth: Ever since their first meeting Himmsworth and Merus had always had a sort of bond that resembled Merus and Edra’s, although not a full bond. Himmsworth has been there through thick and thin with Merus, always by his side and willing to give advice and help him. Merus deeply appreciates and trusts Himmsworth. The two have grown so close that Merus often thinks of him as a father he never had.

* Prism: Merus enjoys Prism presence. When Prism is not around, Merus will often ask Himmsworth on how he was doing as he truly does care for Prism. And while Prism likes to keep himself closed off, Merus can’t help but feel as if Prism feels the same about their friendship. Merus considers Prism to be a sort of mentor, helping him through the world similar to Himmsworth.

* Falklore: Merus has a very deep respect for Falklore, finding him to be an inspiration and true hero of Eden along with the other knights. Merus wishes to be a knight or hero similar to Falklore but he has a long, long way to go.

* Helia: Merus and Helia's relationship has grown over the years, becoming close friends with each other. Merus has a small crush on Helia, but is so dense he doesn't know the same is true for Helia.

* Eden: Eden and Merus met in the Garden of the church of Nunn. Merus was heavily overjoyed when she answered his prayers. Merus liked being with Eden and certainly hopes to do so again.
* Reia: Merus and Reia got along very well, becoming very quick friends. Reia and Merus cared for each other deeply only for someone to take her life.
* Forbidden Conduit of Corruption: Merus absolutely despises Corruption. Merus, at first, thought nothing of the Forbidden Conduit. but after he had killed Reia, Merus had a massive hatred for Corruption. Although he blames himself for her death.

* Conduits: From his very first interaction with the Conduit of Death, Merus has had a dislike, or slight hatred of the Conduits. Though he's admitted to Himmsworth that his hate for all the Conduits is misplaced. He doesn't hate all conduits, but most of them sure do make him nervous.
* Lycan Geri: Merus, for a day, was kidnapped by Geri due to him being hired by the Forbidden Conduit of Networks, Nicole. During his time with Geri, Merus had to endure the more cruel side of the world while he was in the underbelly. Though his time with Geri only strengthened his resolve to prove him wrong.

## Powers / Abilities

### Cosmic blast

Being the first attack Merus ever learned from his mother, He is capable of firing small, star-like blasts from his fingertips. However, the blasts aren’t very powerful for a kid at his age

### Inherited Affinity

Merus, being the son of Edra and descendant of the Forbidden Conduit of the Cosmos/Queen of the Cosmos, has an affinity for everything Cosmos related. This helps him understand the source itself and allows him to better utilize his abilities that rely more of the Cosmos side rather than the Bio-Conduit side.

### Cosms grasp

Merus is capable of moving and manipulating the cosmos around him as a form of telekinesis. With this he is capable of moving objects and people, creating stars, planets and other celestial objects normally found in space by compressing the cosmic forces and gasses around him into a concentrated area which is usually his palms

### Timeless Immortality

As a result of eating an illegal fruit from the tree of time, Merus was instantly granted Immortality which would allow him to live forever. Although, until he reaches his prime he’ll continue to age.

### Heightened Senses

Due to being near the dead tree in the Twisted Lands, Merus was smelling in the toxic air that polluted the area near the tree. Prism had heightened all of Merus’s Senses in order to breathe fresh air.

## Bio-Conduit of Pre-Eminence

Merus is the Bio-Conduit of Pre-Eminence. His Bio-conduit revolves around the abstract concept of Superiority (Pre-Eminence) which allows him to massively increase his power through his own belief that he is superior towards others.

* Competent
* Proficient
* Master
* Full-Fledge Bio-Conduit

#### Subconscious Ability

Subconsciously, Merus is granted a 15x boost in power added onto his current strength. This is not something he can activate at will, it just happens randomly and more often in battles.

#### Novice

Merus is capable of increasing his power dramatically through his own superiority to himself, he exponentially gets an increase in power for as long as Merus deems himself to be superior than he was last. This allows him to grow in strength very quickly.

#### Advanced beginner

Merus is capable of becoming “superior” towards others he feels superior towards, gaining massive strength, durability, speed etc. Merus is capable of also Transcending dimensions and structures to a certain extent if he feels/believes he is superior to them. Merus also gains new abilities that go along with his nature and personality while also boosting his current abilities.

#### Competent

As Merus’s training grows to competent, he has superiority

- Superpower wiki

#### Proficient

Merus is capable of manipulating his personal boundaries, transcendence, Hierarchy, and limitations, allowing him to transcend into any higher state of being by feeling/being superior, this allows him to remove his natural limitations, weaknesses, and boundaries or closing them if the user has a desire for simplicity. These limitations, weaknesses, and boundaries could range from being physical, mental, spiritual, or even existential in nature. With this power, Merus has countless choices at his disposal, being able to perform and achieve anything they wish at any time like resist negative effects (natural and supernatural), develop new abilities, correct their flaws, change their form, their mind, their nature, and even transcending all of their boundaries and limitations all at once.

Along with this, Merus is able to eternally transcend himself higher and higher infinitely. This allows Merus to be in an endless state of transcendence so long as he believes/feels to be superior to himself and those around him. Merus is essentially transcending one's unique state of being, existence, nature, capabilities, abilities, etc., to the infinity with no limit or restriction to their potential. Users are continuously transcending things like concepts and/or the various levels of reality endlessly, breaking free from the laws, principles, or rules that make up any reality, seeing all lower levels of reality as if they were nonexistent fiction and all transcended concepts as if they're meaningless. Ultimately, users will eventually exist beyond absolutely everything, becoming a completely unrivaled force unmatched by the totality of all existence and beyond, achieving true boundlessness, and even then, the user will continue to ascend for all of eternity.

#### Master

Merus is capable of manipulating Superiority almost to its fullest extent. While being able to transcend himself eternally and infinitely, Merus is able to alter the power of others he chooses, making them inferior to him. Merus is also capable of transferring the power or “superiority” of beings like gods and even other conduits to himself, making him grow in power more while the others decrease in power.
