Real Name: Tath Ki Occupation: Philosopher Legal Status: Unknown Identity: Unknown to the general public Place of Self-Awareness: Kittery Point, Maine Marital Status: Single Known Relatives: None Base of Operations: The universe Past Group Affiliations: Elders of the Universe Known Powers: Iron Will: The Contemplator has complete mastery over his physical form and a high degree of sensitivity and understanding of the fundamental forces of the universe itself. The Contemplator can control all of his body’s involuntary responses (heart beat, respiration, nerve ending responses, perspiration) as well as all of his body’s natural functions and needs. Energy Channeling: Further, he can perform great feats of physical coordination and agility simply by trying. As a pacifist, he seldom has any need for physical strength or battle skills, yet if he so desired he could channel his energies into such physical acts, thus raising his Fighting, Agility, or Strength to Unearthly levels, with surprising effectiveness. Telepathy: The Contemplator’s eons-long devotion to mental development has given him psionic powers of fantastic scope. Foremost amongst these is his Unearthly ability to transmit thoughts directly from his mind to another. Astral Body: By universal attunement he has learned of the existence of alternate universes and he can use his cerebral powers (which are of Shift-Z rank in such matters) to either transport himself to one, or to partially phase into another universe, making himself intangible and partially invisible. Levitation: The Contemplator is able to focus his mind’s great power in such a way as to defy the very forces of gravity with that bind the universe together. This power is of Unearthly rank. Telekinesis: In a manner similar to that in which he levitates himself, the Contemplator can manipulate objects by sheer effort of will. His mind is of Unearthly strength when doing this. Teleportation: The Contemplator is able to transport himself by psychic means from one location to another. He has Class-1000 range when so doing. Precognition: Through meditation, the Contemplator can expand his field of awareness to near-infinite parameters. This is popularly called “cosmic consciousness” or “becoming one with the universe”, and is of Shift-Y power. By such universal attunement, he can probe the many phenomena that comprise reality and learn whatever he wishes. Talents: Philosophy, Meditation Contacts: Elders of the Universe Role-Playing Notes: The Contemplator feels that his every move is in accordance with the wishes of the cosmos itself. Therefore, he feels no anxiety over anything he does. He is a quiet, soft-spoken, pacifist who is insufferably smug. History: Like all the Elders of the Universe, the origin of the Contemplator is lost in antiquity. What is known is that he is one of the oldest living beings in the universe, having been a member of one of the first of the universe’s races to become sentient in the wake of the Big Bang. Virtually immortal, the Contemplator has spent his eons-long life in meditation, developing the powers of his mind and spirit, and using them to plumb the mysteries of the universe. He is now as in tune with the forces of the cosmos as a physical being can be. He believes his every action is dictated by the “desires” of the cosmos itself. Essentially a benevolent being, the Contemplator sometimes intervenes in the lives of worthy lesser beings to show them the way to greater enlightenment. Most of his time, however, is spent in meditation, contemplating the infinite wonders of the universe with which he is intimate. |
