## Origin

Exous is a being which is not limited to have any beginning or end, trascending the concepts of both. He wasn't always here, if this makes sense to say. Exous started from a thought, or at least a kind of, not being originally bound by having a mind or a mentality. Exous actually came to existence as the being he is now in the Outside. There was no reason, or purpose behind this, it just...happened. The Being had now a 3 dimensional body and a semi-human mentality.

Not being limited by basically anything "before" this event, the being was capable of anything, being on Metaversal level. Despite having all this power, at first, Exous didn't even find a reason to move, it just stood here. Then, he made his first step, and immediatly his appearance had changed into something more adapted to his "style". Why did this all happen? Well the answer would be "Because he could", but the reason behind this is simply the boredom, which was caused by him being now bound by a human mentality. A simple, almost stupid, reason, but strong enough.

Exous didn't even need to understand anything, it was like he already knew anything that was waiting for him, but then he took another decision: He will never, for whatever reason, know what is going to happen. Why?

Because that would lead him back to boredom. So he chose instead to never reach a state of nigh-omniscience that he actually could have reached

And then....something else.

Creation. The Only thing the metapotent being did. No reason, no motives, no anything. Something was born in the middle of nothing, where Exous was. Exous stood there a bit, and then simply walked away, immediatly losing interest in what he did.

The being disappeared, leaving what he had created behind, to be born in the Outside

So he started his journey across the Layera, without any issue of course, nothing could be really a threat to him anyway. During his journey he met many beings that interested him, and this just convinced him more of what he is. Everytime he meets anything he becomes more and more sure on who he himself is. Not like something he wanted the others to understand, that's just something he is doing for his own pleasuring. So in the end Exous is what Exous wants to be, a being apparently like many others, but hiding behind himself a power able to lead both destruction and creation

## Personality

Usually Exous appears as a calm and elegant being, honest and direct on what he thinks. He however is not good or bad.

He never chose to use his powers to actually achieve anything that he directly didn't need, for example he never created an universe for himself, he dislikes to be sorrounded by useless things. He could look like a fatalist, as he often tends to label things from their importance at the moment he calls "End". But he doesn't look scared, concerned or sad about it, since form what it seems he won't be truly affected by it, he rather use this method as way to explain his own personality better at others. If people think he does thing based on the end, it would be easier for them to understand anything he does, sadly it isn't like this.

This however makes him act in an almost ironic way towards reality. Yes, he observes and follows the things that happen around in the Score, but when someone actually tries to interact with him Exous could come up with questions about the weather, about wine, about music and other stuff. This isn't real ironicity, because for Exous nothing is funny or not, but for normal beings that try to understand or at least grasp the idea of Exous he might look like an ironic fatalist.

Behind anything he does there is only him. There is his own choice, a truly free will not limited by anything if not himself. However in any disvussion he acts almost humanly, he doesn't care of other beings opinion. However, when he talks he rather talk in universal, by stating facts, never saying his true opinion until he has reached enough subjects to maintain it. However with beings he finds intersting and that can really understand him, he immediatly talks by his feelings and impressions, since he really has no reason to hide them from those.

He also has a sort of morality, he would never, for any reason at all, fight someone/something. Why? He finds it useless and boring, a truly waist of time. That's why in any fight he would lose. He wouldn't even fight back, since he has no reason to. Does he risk to die? No he doesn't. Does he risk to lose anything that really matters to him? No he doesn't. He would only unleash his power for fighting if he really was the last ebing standing in front of a threat to fiction itself. However for the same reason, he doesn't help nor save anyone. If a building was about to crash down on someone, he would just ignore and leave, or watch. There is no helping others, it is useless for him. Despite this, he has a special adminariont to those beings that actually keep doing their things fighting for their own beliefs and reasons, no matter if they are stupid or won't matter in the end.

And always thanks to this morality, he doesn't hate anything. There are thing he doesn't like or find useless, but doesn't hate anything. If it exists, it is already something he can't hate. Like before, this has a double side. He is never "happy" in the true definition of this word, nothing really makes him happy. There are many things that can make him pleased more or less, but truly happy not.

And in the end, he has a true passion for the thing he doesn't understand immediatly. I mean, if he doesn't understand them in one second he will do it in 2 seconds, but just this 1 second difference makes him interested into this thing, this is why he has a passion and would stare for decades at humans. They are always a new source of interest, but however there are beings even more intersting for him, but humans are the main ones. In fact, the thing that still rapresents a challenge for him to fully understand for him is "Love" itself. There are too many traits of it for him, this is also why he is mainly focused on Universes with humans, yet everytype if love, both immaginary and real interest him

## Abilities

### Capacity

Not well describable, Exous has the ability to do anything and everything, thanks to his Metaversal level of power, his ability transcends logic, concepts and infinity itself. Exous never uses his powers, finding no reason, but his immense potential remains undisputed. If Exous wanted, he would probably be able to destroy the entire Metaverse, but he has never shown it.

### Immunity

Exous, being a being above existence, possesses a generic immunity to almost everything, due to its state of being outside of concepts and existence itself. Exous is therefore considered an Omnilock

### Nigh-Omniscience

Exous is privy to almost every piece of information. Although he does not know the history and the lives of people in details so as not to spoil the fun, every law of physics, metaphysics or pataphysics has no secrets for him. Exous has still a sort of perfect conviction and intuition.

While in his three-dimensional form, Exous has the same abilities as an average human, but with much greater knowledge.

## "The Weakness"

Everyone he wants to can fight against him, and win. Actually any being who challenge him to fight would win, for the simple reason he never use violence, and because of that he never fights or fights back. Even a human (if Exous let him fight himself) can beat him easily. However, this is not to be confused with him being weak. He isn't weak, he just doesn't fight. In other words, he has potential, but doesn't apply

## Trivia

* He has met many beings with the same power, and most of them can be considered his friends, some others not. . .
* Exous can be found looking at human cities while drinking a glass of wine. In that case, it is possible to interact with him, even if very briefly
* Whenever someone goes up to him and pretends to be on his same level and such things, he politely asks them to push his hat down. If a being really has a power as his one or is stronger, it would be able to push the hat down, if not nothing will happen and the hat will stay here as always
* Despite not having to, Exous loves to often drink wine. His favourite kind is usual red wine
* Probably, somewhere in the mortal layer, someone made an entire religion on him
* Often Exous tends to mumble the refrain from the song "Ruler of Everything", by Tally Hall
