In all the centuries of his existence, no being, not even the ruler of Daath herself, had ever done that. He has been manipulated so that he chose to lead his weaker brethren away from the world that should have been theirs rather than see that world laid waste. He has chosen to abandon a conflict that began to bore him to gain a world that he could shape to his liking. He has even abandoned another conflict that still interested him because the opposition, against all odds, had managed to fulfill the condition he had decided would prompt his withdrawal. But never has he ever known defeat and diminishment as he has now and these novelties fill him with fury beyond his imagination.It is true that there are compensations to this new existence. While more vulnerable than he has been since before he was infused with the power to cause change in conformity with his will, his death will now result in his resurrection in the private sanctum he has shaped for himself. (It resembles the observatory he once created to orbit the planet Earth, which itself resembled the first home he built for himself in the orbit of Chirab.) On the other hand, the demise of one of the other new ascendants of this patchwork reality -- which he did not cause -- has made it clear to him that this form of immortality is no less flawed than any of the others he has encountered in his existence.Likewise, while the range of his senses is less than it once was, their breadth has expanded to a greater degree than ever before. While aware of the existence of other dimensions -- he was drawing power from them, after all -- he was never able to perceive them nor understand their workings. The transformation he underwent with the rebirth of reality has changed that, opening his senses further. For the first time in an eternity, he has learned new things, which has awakened in him the desires to both gain further knowledge and also restore certain talents that he allowed himself to forget, as they were of no use to him. In this vulnerable state, the ability to recognize a lie when he hears it might be useful once more.Especially since, as the ultimate part of the insult he has suffered, he is not alone in this level of power. The beings who arranged this diminishment are millions of years gone, but their catspaws remain. Among the hierarchs, Teleute (to use the name she now prefers) and Tiamat are at best indifferent to him, and the others are openly hostile. He remains the mightiest of his supposed peers -- since he is Power -- but if they were to combine their efforts against him, they could bring him down. He must work to keep them divided. The new one might be an ally in this, since he knows well their skill at lying ... but that means he must know when he is being told lies.His goal is simple. He will regain all that has been taken away from him and punish those who benefited from his weakness. Then, and only then, he will return to Daath and lead its armies once again as the now unfettered master of the Dark Side. He has become a god -- now to take the next step, and become the god and finally become the master of this unrighteous universe.Abraxas -- PL16Abilities:STR 14 | STA 18 | AGL 6 | DEX 6 | FGT 12 | INT 9 | AWE 13 | PRE 14Powers:Ascendant: Immortality 5 (one day), Only When On Home Plane; Movement 1 (dimensional travel to home plane), Reaction (death); Movement 2 (dimensional travel to mystical planes), Standard Action - 9 points"I AM Power": Array (105 points) <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Reality Is As I Deem It: Illusion 15 (all senses), Selective Area, Dynamic - 106 points</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> I Am Your Doom: Perception Range Damage 16, Variable Descriptor 2 (painful), Dynamic - 2 points</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> I Am Your Punishment: Cumulative Perception Range Affliction 16 (Resisted by Will; Dazed, Stunned, Transformed), Variable Descriptor 2 (humiliation), Dynamic - 2 points</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> I Am The Source: Burst Area Nullify Mystical Effects 16, Broad, Simultaneous, Sustained, Dynamic - 2 points </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> I See All: Remote Sensing 23 (Visual, Audio; 8 million miles), Dimensional 2 (mystical dimensions), Simultaneous, Subtle; Senses 10 (Auditory and Visual Counters All Concealment); Dynamic - 2 points</li> </ul>Strange Being From Another World: Flight 15 (64000 MPH); Immunity 30 (Fortitude effects); Impervious Toughness 18; Impervious Will 15; Movement 3 (space travel 3) - 99 pointsAdvantages:Equipment 4, Extraordinary Effort, Fast Grab, Improved Defense, Improved Grab, Improved Hold, Seize Initiative, Weapon Break.Equipment:Home Plane: Size Colossal; Toughness 16; Features Communications, Concealed, Defense System, Dimensional Portal (Pandiomon), Grounds, Isolated, Living Space, Personnel, Power System, Security System - 20 points.Skills:Expertise: Dimensional 9 (+18), Expertise: Galactic 10 (+19), Insight 7 (+20), Intimidation 7 (+21), Perception 7 (+20).Offense:Initiative +6Unarmed +12 (Close Damage 14)I Am Your Doom -- (Perception Range Damage 16)I Am Your Punishment -- (Perception Range Will 16)Defense:Dodge 10, Parry 12, Fortitude Immune, Toughness 18, Will 15Totals:Abilities 184 + Powers 222 + Advantages 11 + Skills 20 + Defenses 10 = 447 pointsOffensive PL: 16Defensive PL: 15Resistance PL: 15Skill PL: 16Complications:Power--Motivation.
