- "Now he understood. This was the purpose. Not the long survival of humankind into a dismal future of decay and shadows, the final retreat into the lossless substrate, where nothing ever changed or grew. The purpose of humankind - the first intelligence of all - had been to reshape the universe in order to bud others and create a storm of mind. We got it wrong, [...] By striving for a meaningless eternity, humans denied true infinity. But we reached back, back in time, back to the far upstream, and spoke to our last children - the maligned Blues - and we put it right. This is what it meant to be alone in the universe, to be the first. We had all of infinite time and space in our hands. We had ultimate responsibility. And we discharged it. We were parents of the universe, not its children."

Properties[]
The character is an ascended human: a renewed form of humanity who has obtained a powerful form of ascension that remakes them into a far more powerful and better version of humanity and are connected to a higher plane of existence that can transcend them into divine/godly beings of their very own as a new form of humanity. These special and very powerful humans can be far more powerful than any other variant form of humanity which can also include magical humans, superhumans, trans humans, hybrid humans, etc.
Humans of this category are powerful in many ways and are gifted with many abilities that are deemed divine to their maximum capacity and with new physical forms, similar to yet flawless against the original that uplifts them a higher and unique status that can be similar to other divine beings, capable of going beyond their world to ruling over certain specificity.
Their enlightened state grants them a new perception of their humanity and the nature of the cosmos which they can use to learn to control for their own, accessing all their innate supernatural abilities that come from their existence (mind, body soul, etc.), making users as powerful as any other supernatural being in existence.
Their shift to a higher state of existence can also reconnect them to higher beings who may govern all of existence, gaining a more powerful connection to the source of all existence which all learn to respect and honor. Such a deeper connection to said forces can grant a great number of abilities that can reach transcendent levels.
The source of their existence can be a powerful and sentient deity who they love unconditionally and grants them eternal peace and love in a higher plane where these humans can live eternal lives as anything they wish with anyone they want to be with as spiritual and physical beings.
