Appearance
His form is that of a seemingly male humanoid figure, shrouded in a regal cloak that radiates hues of crimson and purple. His most striking feature is his glowing yellow eyes, which pierce through the shadows cast by his cloak. The details of his face remain concealed, hidden beneath his cloak's shadow and his enigmatic demeanor. In rare moments, he may appear as female.
Cloaked in the ethereal garb of his cosmic station, The Shopkeeper exudes an aura of grandeur and enigma. His attire consists of a crimson-purple suit that drapes his form elegantly. The cloak seems to cascade down his figure like an endless river of twilight. A black mask obscures his mouth.
Personality
Despite being a nigh-omnipotent cosmic entity, the Shopkeeper defies the stereotype of an aloof and detached being. Instead, he exudes extroverted friendliness that makes him instantly relatable to those who enter his cosmic store. His interactions with customers are marked by an eagerness to serve and a genuine interest in meeting their desires, transcending the confines of ordinary customer-service dynamics.
While his cosmic knowledge and power grant him near-limitless potential, The Shopkeeper remains grounded in humility, adopting the role of a humble merchant. He welcomes patrons with a demeanor that dissolves the awe one might feel in the presence of such cosmic might. He patiently navigates through the intricacies of multiversal transactions, ensuring that each customer finds what they seek or, in some cases, what they didn't know they needed.
Beneath this welcoming facade, however, lies a stern resolve and a distaste for deception. The Shopkeeper has no patience for those who attempt to trick or manipulate him, and his punishments for such actions are swift and severe. His commitment to fairness and the integrity of his store is unwavering, and he will do whatever it takes to protect it.
Amidst the many faces and races that visit the Multi-Realities Store, The Shopkeeper retains a sense of mystery. He rarely reveals his own face, keeping his features hidden beneath the shadows of his cloak and mask. This enigmatic element of his persona adds an intriguing layer to his already complex character, leaving customers to wonder about the being behind the cosmic counter.
Powers and Abilities
Cosmic Entity Physiology: As a cosmic entity, The Shopkeeper exists beyond the comprehension of most mortal beings. His form is not bound by the laws of physics or biology, allowing him to transcend the limitations of ordinary existence. He embodies the very essence of the multiverse itself, granting him the ability to manipulate its fundamental forces and realities.
Nigh-Omnipotence: The Shopkeeper's nigh-omnipotence is a testament to his profound control over the omniverse. While not an absolute and unrestricted power, it comes remarkably close. He possesses the ability to shape and mold reality itself, making him a force to be reckoned with across the cosmic tapestry. The Shopkeeper's power enables him to manipulate the fundamental forces of existence, transcending the boundaries of conventional laws. He can alter the very fabric of space and time, morph his physical avatar into anything he wishes, rewrite the rules of physics, and manipulate the essence of life and death. This power grants him dominion over the laws of various realities, allowing him to bend them to his will.
Absolute Condition: In his physical avatar, The Shopkeeper possesses a supreme level of physical attributes. His strength is so immense that it can rend the fabric of reality itself, and he can engage in combat with beings of extraordinary power without breaking a sweat. His speed, agility, and endurance are equally unparalleled, making him a formidable force in any conflict.
Absolute Immortality: The Shopkeeper's existence knows no bounds when it comes to time. He has infinite longevity, having existed for an immeasurable span, and shows no signs of aging or decay. His regenerative abilities are so supreme that even if he were to be reduced to nothingness (or even if his existential information was erased), he would inevitably reform. He is, in essence, beyond the grasp of death itself.
Contract Bestowal: The Shopkeeper has the unique ability to bestow contracts upon individuals. These contracts can vary in nature and stipulations, but they often involve tasks, missions, or exchanges to obtain coveted items from his store. Those who enter into these contracts are bound by their terms, and The Shopkeeper ensures that they are upheld.
Omnificence: The Shopkeeper possesses the power to create anything, absolutely anything, regardless of its nature, origin, or existence. His abilities in this realm are not bound by the constraints of time, space, or possibility. Within the confines of his store, The Shopkeeper has amassed a vast and diverse collection of items from countless realities. These items range from the mundane to the extraordinary, from the past, present, and future. He can materialize objects that have long been forgotten, those that never existed, or even those that are yet to come into being. His powers extends beyond mere material objects. He can create concepts, emotions, powers, and phenomena with equal ease. His patrons often seek him out for items that can grant them unparalleled abilities or fulfill their deepest desires. He also makes sure that any and all of his items have infinite samples.

These objects can be customized to suit the inner desires of the user, possessing any abilities of any level. Whether it's a weapon, artifact, or tool, The Shopkeeper can craft it with precision, making him a source of unparalleled craftsmanship and creation.
Nigh-Omnipresence: The Shopkeeper's presence seems to be everywhere and nowhere at once. While not truly omnipresent, he can appear in multiple places across the omniverse simultaneously. This allows him to serve customers from countless realities, making his emporium accessible to all who seek its treasures.
Totality Connection: He is undetached to any reality and can freely travel throughout the entirety of anything. He can enter, escape and re-visit any part of the totality/omniverse in any time: nothing can force him to stay or leave certain locations.
Abilities
Nigh-Omniscience: The Shopkeeper's nigh-omniscience is an awe-inspiring power that grants him unparalleled knowledge across the vast expanse of the omniverse. He possesses the ability to be aware of everything and anything, spanning across all fictional settings, realities, and dimensions. This unfathomable breadth of knowledge makes him a living repository of information, an invaluable source of wisdom and insight. His knowledge enables him to answer questions, provide guidance, and offer solutions to virtually any problem or query posed by his patrons. He can effortlessly recall details, events, and facts from any reality, whether it's a long-lost historical event, the inner workings of an obscure fictional universe, or the deepest secrets of cosmic beings. This makes him not only a cosmic merchant but also a cosmic sage. His knowledge is not confined to one specific field or topic. Instead, it encompasses the entire spectrum of existence. Whether a patron seeks information on arcane spells, advanced technology, or the mysteries of the cosmos, The Shopkeeper can provide the answers.
Economics Mastery: While he may appear as a humble merchant, his understanding of economic principles transcends conventional boundaries. He navigates the intricate web of trade, value, and commerce with unparalleled skill. Here, he offers items of immeasurable worth and significance, each with its own price or terms of acquisition. His grasp of value extends beyond mere currency, encompassing barter systems, service exchanges, and even missions or quests. What truly sets The Shopkeeper apart is his ability to cater to the desires and needs of his patrons, all while maintaining the balance and integrity of his store. He can craft deals that are fair and equitable, ensuring that both parties walk away satisfied.
Absolute Charisma: His charismatic presence is a vital aspect of his role as a cosmic merchant, enabling him to connect with patrons and negotiate transactions effectively. His charisma is a blend of confidence, affability, and an innate understanding of the desires and motivations of those who enter his store. It allows him to establish rapport with individuals from diverse backgrounds and realities, making them feel welcomed and valued. He has a unique ability to understand the true desires and intentions of his patrons, often discerning what they truly seek, even if they themselves are uncertain. This skill allows him to craft transactions that benefit both parties and maintain the cosmic balance of his store. He values honesty and fairness in all transactions and uses his charisma to ensure that his patrons receive precisely what they desire, provided they are willing to meet the terms of the bargain.
Weaknesses
The Shopkeeper operates primarily within the framework of his store, the Multi-Realities Store, where he exerts the most control. Beyond this domain, his powers may wane, but his influence still extends across dimensions.
While he can create and provide items of immeasurable power and significance, they must still be acquired through transactions or bargains. The store serves as a cosmic marketplace where patrons must pay a price, whether in currency, service, or a mission. It's a place where desires can be fulfilled, but nothing comes without a cost.
Multi-Realities Store
Description
The Multi-Realities Store (MRS) is a transcendent and metaphysical emporium situated within the Interverse, a mystical realm that serves as a bridge between the boundless multiverse and omniverse. Despite its seemingly ordinary appearance on the outside, the interior of the store defies the very concept of space, extending into infinite corridors, showrooms, and shelves. Each section of the store is meticulously organized, categorizing items by their nature, origin, and type.
The MRS holds the distinction of being a supernatural and metaphysical store, offering patrons access to an incomprehensible array of objects, items, and concepts drawn from the totality of existence. It possesses the unique ability to facilitate the acquisition of nearly anything one could imagine, including objects that have ceased to exist, have yet to come into being, or are purely fantastical in nature.
Characteristics
Infinite Interior: The most striking characteristic of the MRS is its infinite interior. Despite the store's compact external appearance, the moment one steps inside, they are greeted by seemingly endless rows of shelves and showrooms. Patrons can wander through the labyrinthine corridors, each section dedicated to a specific category of items, making it an ideal place for exploration and discovery.
Organized Chaos: While the MRS boasts an infinite expanse of goods, it is far from disorganized. The Shopkeeper ensures that the store's contents are neatly organized based on their nature and origin. Whether a patron seeks a particular object, a rare artifact, or a concept, they can navigate the store's meticulously arranged sections to find what they desire.
Guaranteed Exit: Within the sprawling confines of the MRS, it is impossible for anyone to become lost. The Shopkeeper's influence ensures that patrons can always find the exit when they desire to leave. This characteristic alleviates any concerns of being trapped within the store's infinite expanse.
Customization Section: The MRS houses a unique Customization Section, allowing patrons to craft their own items according to their desires. This section is directly linked to the Forge of the Ten, a reality where the most powerful weapons and items are forged from cosmic materials. It offers clients the opportunity to create personalized items tailored to their specific needs.
Rules
No Theft: One of the cardinal rules of the MRS is an absolute prohibition on theft. The Shopkeeper has placed seals on all items within the store, rendering them non-functional unless they are acquired through legitimate means. Attempts to steal will result in severe consequences.
Bargains and Transactions: Nothing in the MRS is free, except for items that the Shopkeeper designates as such. Patrons must either purchase items through a variety of means, including currency, barter, service exchanges, or missions, or engage in negotiations and bargains with the Shopkeeper himself.
Customization and Purchase: Customized items created in the Customization Section must still be purchased to be utilized. The act of customization alone does not grant ownership or usage rights. Patrons must adhere to the principle that ownership and access are contingent upon an agreed-upon transaction.
Minimal Side Effects: The items within the MRS are designed to have minimal side effects, unless explicitly stated otherwise by the Shopkeeper. Patrons can generally expect that the items they acquire will function as intended, without adverse consequences.
Non-Material Acquisitions: Patrons cannot directly purchase non-material entities such as concepts, emotions, or powers. However, the MRS offers items that may grant access to or bestow such intangible qualities. Potions, artifacts, weapons, and other objects can provide patrons with experiences akin to these non-material concepts.
The Forge of the Ten: The Customization Section of the MRS is connected to the Forge of the Ten, an enigmatic reality where powerful cosmic materials are forged into legendary items. Weapons and items forged in this section are crafted from celestial materials and are considered exceptionally potent.
Moral Considerations: While the Shopkeeper operates without strict moral judgments, he does not sell morally "illegal" items, such as slaves. The boundary between morality and desire is a subjective matter, and the Shopkeeper leaves it to patrons to determine how they will use the items they acquire. However, certain items may implicitly reveal the character of the individual seeking them, and the Shopkeeper may refuse to sell such items based on his own discretion.

Trivia

His ability to customize items and create unique products makes the store a treasure trove for those seeking bespoke solutions.
The Shopkeeper's neutrality is reflected in his willingness to sell even morally questionable items, although he refuses outright "illegal" commodities. So, for example, while he may have items that clients may use to kill; he will not sell things that already tells the morality of one's, like slaves.
He knows all there is to know about every fictional setting, further showcasing his cosmic knowledge.
The Shopkeeper's punishment for those who attempt to steal from his store is said to be an exile to a realm of eternal obscurity, where existence itself unravels.
The sheer size and complexity of the MRS make it a popular destination for explorers and adventurers across the multiverse. Some even embark on quests solely to uncover hidden sections within the store.
He doesn't care about what his clients do with their bought products, as long it doesn't happen in his own store.
Funnily enough, he has morality awareness and always, subtly, makes morally evil beings pay more than normally.

The Shopkeeper is genderfluid, occasionally adopting a feminine form. This aspect of his identity has led to intriguing interactions with patrons who may not be aware of this fluidity until after making a purchase.
Many legendary artifacts and objects of great power from various fictional settings have found their way into the MRS. It is rumored that these items often end up in the hands of heroes or villains, depending on the buyer's intentions.
