Tianxia:The Watcher

Background
Around a super-massive black hole, the matter that it began to draw in moved in circular motions around the void. The friction of this matter grew and grew, burning brighter than any one star could ever hope. The power of this black hole continued to draw in matter, and soon, it became one of the brightest things in the universe. Its influence, unbeknownst to it at the time, was noticed by many beings throughout the universe, almost to the point of being thought of as some sort of god...or a monster. Such things went unnoticed by this thing, however, as it was not exactly sentient. Yet. After an indeterminable amount of time, it noticed things for the first time since it had formed. It liked noticing things, not that it knew that it hadn’t noticed things before, and it endeavored to learn new things, stretching its consciousness and influence as far as possible.

At some point, it simply up and left its stationary position, using this wider range of movement to observe new things. Like this, it blindly drifted about the cosmos, seemingly without care as to its direction or speed. In reality, it was too busy to care about which way it was going, as it was silently watching. This being, perhaps a youkai, saw a great many things, but it always passed them by without knowing about what happened after they faded from its perception. It wanted something which it could study and watch as it changed and grew.

It was aware that there were other sentient beings such as it that wandered the vast cosmos, but they never seemed to be interested in it, so it tried to stay out of their way as best it could.

There came a point that this being decided to solve its own issue; instead of finding a place which it could watch, it wanted to create one. With but a thought, it created a sort of bubble, a bubble which it could enact its desires however it deemed fit. Here, it created a world similar to some of the planets it had observed during its travels. Here, it created some of the basic things that would be needed for something to grow. It turned to other planets still within its perception, gathering information and forming ideas. Returning its attention to its world, it breathed life into everything within its domain, watching as many things were suddenly birthed. Plenty of plant life and animals began to spring into existence in the span of what seemed like a few seconds.

Many devices were implemented to regulate the working of this place so that it would remain stable-- gigantic towers that floated in the sky, strange orbs that seemingly grew from the ground itself, even the moon-like body in the sky was a device used to keep things working. With its goal complete, the being sat back and watched, studying everything that occurred, not matter how small. It found that changes happened without any need for it to intervene, as things evolved and adapted on their own, which very much pleased the watcher.

Soon, fairies began to appear, each manifesting as a part of the world it had created-- and some appeared to have been formed from the energy the watcher itself radiated, becoming small beings of light. These beings were sentient, it saw, and so it created a place where they could live without having to worry about the elements. Some moved there, while others chose to roam at will, and the watcher was pleased with both choices. These smaller beings began to call it ‘Lumen’, perhaps thinking it to be some sort of deity. It took the time to teach these beings, but quickly found that they could not comprehend most of the concepts it wished to show them, and so it settled on the smaller things, which most of them seemed to grasp. Perhaps in time these beings would be able to comprehend what it had to teach.

Personality
Even being such a strange being as it is, it seems to be happy and joyous, pleased with the land that it has created for itself. It is both eager to teach and to learn, seemingly free from the restraint and vices observable in other sentient beings. It is a pure, almost innocent thing. It has a great love for the creatures that it has created, sparing no effort to ensure their happiness. Even though it is an incredibly destructive being by its very nature, one would not be able to tell just by looking at it. Though, that said, it does seem very otherworldly at the same time, taking on a humanoid shape consisting of a white, radiant light, each word it utters sounding like a distorted echo that is almost ambient in nature, not being projected from the manifestation itself, but from all around.

Its most common characteristic seems to be that it watches everything virtually simultaneously, though it has been known to dance about and play with the fairies that have spawned there. In actuality, the fact that it spreads its attention in the way it does is not just to collect more information, but its gaze is very 'heavy' otherwise, and it could cause serious problems for any of its creations to be looked upon in this manner.

However pure it may be, it is still very protective of its Eden, and it would not hesitate to vanquish any threats that should become apparent. If one should prove to be harmless, however, they would be welcomed to take part in its Eden. In truth, it has not hidden Eden in the hopes that someone will find it, but it should be noted that it is nearly impossible to escape its notice once you are inside.

Power/Combat
It seems to have control over its very creation and form, able to spread its influence about however it wishes. Specifically, it is the master of what might be called ‘energy’, for it can change this energy into many forms and generate it when the need arises. Its use of this power seems most prominent inside of its vast domain, where it monitors and controls every alteration to the environment. The applications of such a power are quite vast.

Its control over energy form is actually quite simple; in short, it allows it to change, for example, thermal energy into kinetic energy, or radiant energy into life or magical energy (Keeping in mind that life force and magical energy are not real world forms, but exist in this setting). In addition, it can manipulate the generation and storage of energy. Combat-wise, it could remove all magical or potential energy from someone to keep them from doing much of anything, if it wanted. Or, it could simply remove all the life energy from a target, killing them. This power also extends to the fundamental energies Jīng, Qì, and Shén. It is because of this that it is able to create entire realms without any effort.

While it generally takes a vastly muted form in order to keep itself from destroying its own Eden, it is capable of reverting back to the powerful quasar that it is at any point in time. At such a time, it is doubtful that anyone could withstand its fury unless they were also cosmic beings, already used to such things. Just by being, it could destroy, but it chooses to create instead.

Spellcards
(Stuff that I never do, but will get to eventually)

Major
-The Fairies of Eden: These creatures are, essentially, its children, and to them it has a sort of motherly attitude, teaching and protecting them. It wishes to impart upon them all of the knowledge it has gained over the eons, but they seem to be incapable of learning all of this information.

Trivia
-Even though it has its Eden, it still watches out into the cosmos, noting any changes or developments. Earth is included in this, and it notes that humans seem to be an imperfect race that causes nothing but destruction.
