## Overview

 File:TimeTrueForm.gif
Father Time is revealed to be the parent of every Endless along with his wife the Night. He is the embodiment of the primordial time and existence as a whole.

Father Time is able to accelerate the aging of anyone and anything and could even speed up the aging of the universe until it reaches the heat death or reverse it to when it was birthed as a result of the Big Bang.

Father Time exists outside of the normal flow of time and space and resides in what seems to be a palace that does not apply to the laws of physics that is present within the universe. His domain exists in loops and whorls but only as Father Time wishes it. Cause and effect either reverse or disconnect entirely as well.

## Appearance

Father Time is normally depicted as an elderly bearded man, sometimes with wings, dressed in a robe and carrying a scythe and an hourglass or other timekeeping device. Father Time is constantly changing from a young boy to a middle-aged, then an elderly man in a random pattern. He also has a snake as his tongue. Father Time can also appear as a female as well, stating that just appearing as a male is boring.

When Father Time manifests himself in a younger form, he appears as a young man in his late teens to his early to mid-twenties. He has shaggy white hair and cobalt blue eyes. He is often seen wearing a grey officer uniform.

Father Time's first female form appears as one of the most beautiful beings in all of Creation equaling or possibly surpassing the beauty of the Protogenos Eros in his female form. Her hair is as white as snow along with possessing blue eyes that are brimming with boundless divinity and wisdom attributed to a being such as herself. She is usually seen wearing a black sleeved, strapless top that exposes a little bit of her cleavage. She also wears a black high-collar shoulder cape. The tail of her cape extends down to her low-back. She also wears a black and gold pants as well as knee-high socks and boots that cover up to her mid-calf.

Father Time's second female form appears as a beautiful young woman in her 20s, with flawless pale skin. She has long golden-yellow hair and stormy-blue eyes, which are described as the color of the sky during a thunderstorm. She is said to have a calm and serene aura. She wears a noble black-and-red dress, decorated with golden clocks, and black fishnet stockings. She wears designer high-heels shoes. She also wears a crown made of steel and a golden necklace with a bright red jewel attached to it.

## Personality

Father Time is particularly lonely, although he prefers it so, as he does not want to have any contact with his own children. To his mind, the only reason any of his children visit him is that they want something - besides Destiny, who asks nothing of him because Time gave him all he had as his birthright. Destiny leaves him alone.

The few beings he is interested in meeting is Night (his wife), Death (his partner), Life (his other partner), God (his brother and superior), and Chronos (his trainee). He is describe to be a lonely primordial entity, yet despite that Father Time is actually rather humble, playful, and also possesses a good (sometimes dry and sarcastic) sense of humor and wits, as he often jokes around, and making sarcastic jokes and comments on people (especially humans who he often gets along when bargaining in him) for their amusing and sometimes reckless behavior in his presence. He is also seen as an intelligent and wise elderly primordial being, skilled and a capable advisor, as he frequently giving people the knowledge they needed to do, and sometimes giving them a hint what they have to do, in making wise decisions and judgements, without also intervening or hindering their free will and decisions.

He is not as prideful and arrogant, when mentioning his position as the primordial god of time, yet he claims that no one in the cosmos must disturb or change the natural cosmic balance, that will greatly affects the universe. He is rather easy going, yet patient, serious, and responsible of protecting the natural flow of time (past, present, and future) and space (cosmos). He is also annoyed to anyone who deliberately tries to disrupt or distort the natural cycle of life and death, as he calls it foolishness. In the beginning, he seems to be get along with his siblings and his wife Mother Night. Specially God, Death, Life, as they were the only ones (other than Mother Night and Destiny) who often talks to him frequently.

## Myths and Legends

As an image "Father Time's origins are curious". The ancient Greeks themselves began to associate *chronos*, their word for time, with the agricultural god Cronus, who had the attribute of a harvester's sickle. The Romans equated Cronus with Saturn, who also had a sickle, and was treated as an old man, often with a crutch. The wings and hourglass were early Renaissance additions and he eventually became a companion of the Grim Reaper, avatar of Death, often using similar looking scythe. His snake tongue was an ancient Egyptian symbol of eternity.

Father Time (in his allegorical form) is often depicted revealing or unveiling the allegorical Truth, sometimes at the expense of a personification of Falsehood, Fraud, or Envy. This theme is related to the idea of *veritas filia temporis* (Time is the father of Truth).
