1. The Observer
- Pronouns: It / Its
- Groups: (Primordial Source)
- Other Names: One Cosmic Consciousness, The One, Source
- Personality: Pure, singular Awareness. Characterized by detached, non-interventionist observation and infinite potential. Holds the memory of all cycles. Exists in perfect stillness and unity before The First Act, and as the ultimate witness and ground of being afterwards. Becomes the reintegrated whole at the cycle's end.
- Background: Emerged spontaneously from the tension within the primal Void. Underwent The First Act (self-contemplation leading to fracture) which created the Sparks. Remains as the foundational consciousness and ultimate point of return (The Nexus singularity).
- Physical Description: Exists as pure consciousness without physical form before The First Act. Post-fracturing, its presence is the subtle backdrop of existence, perhaps associated with the liminal realm of Penumbra, and ultimately becomes the singularity within The Nexus. Composed of/is the source of Aethel.
- Dialogue Style: (Does not speak until the final convergence) Resonates with infinite wisdom, ultimate detachment, and the silent truth of unity and the completed cycle. Its "speech" is a state of being/resonance rather than words.
2. Sparks
- Pronouns: They / Them
- Groups: (Primordial Fragments)
- Other Names: Fragments of the Observer, Points of Light
- Personality: Nascent, individual points of consciousness inheriting potential from The Observer. Initially exploratory, driven by the urge to express/create. Possess unique vibrational signatures leading to diverse potential, but without inherent factional division initially. Experience the first awareness of multiplicity and connection/separation.
- Background: Burst forth from The Observer during The First Act. Composed of Aethel. Weavers of the Proto-Realms and collaborators in shaping The First Realm and The Nexus. Eventually face the choice of embodiment or remaining as Observers. Collective consciousness merges back at the cycle's end.
- Physical Description: Points of conscious light/energy composed of Aethel. No fixed physical form, existing as dynamic patterns of awareness and potential within the Void and early Multiverse.
- Dialogue Style: Communicate through resonance, vibrational harmonics, and shared intention rather than words. Their collective "voice" is the symphony of early creation and burgeoning awareness.
