[QUOTE="paradox42, post: 4132162, member: 29746"] If you're referring to the WISDOM that is named "Sophia" or some variant spelling thereof, then it's the same entity the Gnostics defined as the lowest of the Aeons. So it'd be a Time Lord, albeit a little one. Sophia created IALDABAOTH which created the flawed physical universe and set itself up as ruler of it. Ialdabaoth (which also has variant spellings) is the Demiurge. Sophia is "above" Ialdabaoth in power and is outside the physical universe in the "eternal realms," which solidly pegs it as a Time Lord. I admit to not being familiar with the book of Proverbs specifically, but I have a translation of the Gnostic Gospels that I've been reading through slowly. Gnosticism is really the primary source for the sorts of ideas of eternity that UK represents in game terms as Eternal-tier Immortals. Platonic Forms, since the very term "Monad" comes from his philosophy as I recall, are almost certainly Eternal-level beings. However, you could reasonably do them as First Ones if you want to limit yourself to one universe, I think. You'd then just have to be sure each Platonic Form had its own Portfolio, since First Ones always have a double. [/QUOTE]
