Nun, the Watcher

The Creator of all Gods

Written by Manuel Godoy

Nun (a.k.a. The Watcher)

Nun is the surpreme deity of both the people of Nibiru and the demi-gods of Earth. The civilizations of Nibiru were seeded by him but it was not the first time. Nun speaks of creating hundreds of civilizations throughout his existance and shows little empathy toward his creations.   Because of his tireless work and meticulous attention to detail, Nun can appear to be cold and distant. This demeanor effected the human hybrids he created as he had to "attempt" to raise them as they would have been raised outside the Rift in regular civilization.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Nun is an onyx elemental cloaked in Anunnaki garbs and a golden armored suit. The armor does not act as protection, but rather a catalyst for his internal energy.

  • Malleable Onyx humanoid body
  • Gold conductive armor
  • Priestly Anunnaki Robes
  • Faceless Mask

Personal history

15,000 BCE - Nun awakens on Nibiru and travels to Earth.   4,500 BCE - He arrives on Earth and creates the Rift dimension to work.   4,200 BCE - He releases his subjects into the outside world and goes into hibernation.   3,500 BCE - He is awoken by his creation Gaia. She warns of the betrayal of his creations before she dies.   This begins the Trials of the Rift timeline.

Gender Identity

Nun is considered a male ,however, he lacks anything that would classify him as a male by human standards.

Education

Nun is a self-taught deity who has learned the art of creation through trial and error. He has birthed numerous civilizations but never shaped their cultures. As a pacifist, he believes his creations have ultimate will on what will transpire in the future and chooses to not intervene unless something unforgivable happens.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Created hundreds of civilizations.

Failures & Embarrassments

The Ancients betrayed him and enslaved humanity. He cannot stop them due to his physical restrictions so he feels deep regret.

Intellectual Characteristics

Nun is logical, composed, meticulous, and indifferent. He is a neutral Deity that strives for balance whenever possible.

Morality & Philosophy

Nun believes all things should be decided by nature. He designs nature and nature takes it's course.

Taboos

Nun hates any study or pursuit of ancient spirits. He has seen the damage they do to the untrained mind.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Nun desires to correct his mistakes after failing humanity. He has never created a race on a previously inhabited planet. Because of this, he feels he set humanity up for failure.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Obsession with knowledge and texts

Virtues & Personality perks

Nun has a powerful perk given to him by the Eye of Oblivion. It is an ancient spirit that was so powerful, it could not die. He took the power for himself but the Eye has it's own thoughts and motivations. This gives Nun Omniscience but he rarely uses it, for knowing too much can drive one mad.

Vices & Personality flaws

Nun is a bound creature. As such, he is governed by laws which he can never break. His fatal flaw is his inability to adapt to a natural ecosystem. This is why his ship alters the reality of the surrounding area. If he were to ever leave the Rift, he would die instantly.

Personality Quirks

Nun never tells the whole story.

Social

Contacts & Relations

Nun has a special Bond with Rah, being the first of the God Killers and fatally flawed. Nun shows special consideration for the boy, as if his son. He also has a strong bond with Amesemi because she is the only other magic user in existence.

Social Aptitude

Authoritative and Elusive. He demands much and offers little.
