The Overseer

> *"A person who thinks all the time, has nothing to think but thoughts. When those thoughts come into fruition, the one who has thought of them will only be surrounded in a world of illusions and false realities. And so they lose touch with what is real and what is not, and thus, they realize that nothing is truly worth it. This world we live in is cold, harsh, filled with extraordinary misadventures, great and wonderful battles even. However, this isn't our history, our entertainment, or our experiences. It is simply entertainment for those on the other side, those who know of the true reality."*

## The Overseer

### Aliases

## Appearances

### Appears in

Notion!Tale

The Overseer is the Observer of False Reality, meaning he watches over Fiction itself. He's the guardian of 'The Rift' the space between False and True Reality, although he is unable to cross it, he still proceeds to protect it from any unwanted threats. To certain people who've glanced at him before he vanished he was a mirage, to others a deity.

## Profile

### Personality

The Overseer is a curious although mysterious individual. He only seems to appear when something eventful is soon to happen, or he is the cause of said event. Otherwise he stays in The Rift, occasionally speaking to Comic as the only other being who knows of both False and True Reality. The Overseer doesn't ever seem to get phased by any rude remarks or even crossing into The Rift. He always keeps a calm and regal form.

The Overseer enjoys surprises and frightening people when they least expect it. Often crossing over into Xerox's location to spook him for fun. Although The Overseer seems calm and collected he does feel lonely sitting in the empty darkness of The Rift, sometimes even creating dolls or other humanoid objects for company. He's overjoyed when Xerox or Comic come to see him, abandoning his composure and instead acting similar to an excited father.

### Appearance

The Overseer normally stands at 14 feet tall, wearing a black lab coat and a white turtleneck sweater, black shoes, and gray slacks. He holds a black cane with a crystal crow's head as its grip. He resembles a skeleton with two black eye sockets, his left eye has a crack going from the top of it to his forehead, and his right eye is similar except inverted instead going from the bottom of his eye to his chin. On occasion, his eyes and mouth will leak a black ooze. He also has 7 skeletal hands behind him each with a different colored glow, assumed to hold the 7 Human Souls.

The Overseer has been told that he resembles Dr. W. D Gaster, but he claims he has no idea who that is, and certainly holds no relation to him.

## Powers & Abilities

### Omnipotence

Within The Rift, The Overseer holds full control unlike with anything outside of it. He can change his size, make his opponent a clone, grant new abilities, and more. Although he is capable of doing these things, he only helps those he favors, and the significance of his help is limited. As he only gifted Xerox with the Copy Eye and left it at that, as well as granting Comic the ability to access the Panels. The Overseer has stated that he cannot simply create an ability despite being in full control of his dimension, that ability must be already within the potential of the being, only then can he bring it out.

### Primal Fear

The Overseer's presence is overwhelming to those not trained to withstand it, often paralyzing those far weaker than him, and sending an eerie feeling over those capable of standing against it. He doesn't mean to do this, it's just a passive ability that he cannot control.

### Teleportation

The Overseer is capable of teleporting anywhere where those who have entered the Rift are. This isn't limited to their exact location, as he can teleport anywhere within their universe as he pleases.

## Weaknesses

* Powerlessness: While in The Rift, The Overseer is an all-powerful being, but while in the outside world his powers are limited to himself, and only allow him to do basic changes to his body. He is still unable to manipulate the world in any major way, as he was unable to help Xerox battle against YOU.
