Species
Xopas
Visual Trait IndexThe second major species of Xaoc, are the Xopas. They are beings with powers that could access multiverses and timelines. however, they cannot alter or destroy any timelines or multiverse, they simply hop on to differing timelines to carry tasks that are often for historical archival reasons or scoping out cosmic monsters from varied instances of the past, present, and future.
The Xopas have a tough but malleable shell that covers them. This shell is contains their fantastical shapeshifting jelly-like fluid, which essentially is a Xopas' cosmic blood. "Pulp Form" is referred to a state which a Xopas appears as a tiny creature aimlessly floating in midair and have its jelly completely tucked away. They often use this form when at rest and repleneshing their cosmic blood.
Once awakened, they outstretch into a bidepal form and release their jelly to make a variety of distinct shapes that serve as limbs for everyday use.Due to a Xopas' ability to jump from timeline to timeline, it can be quite confusing to pinpoint where they first come from. The timeline where a Xopas blinks awake into a living sentient being (after the Entity of Reality's cosmic outburst and before any sort of multiverse hopping) is considered their “main'' timeline.
When jumping timelines, Xopas must enveloped their entire shell in their cosmic blood. Over time, this protective jelly thins out. It is important to return to their main timeline before the jelly completely leaves their body. If they run out of blood jelly they are essentially trapped in the timeline they traveled to.
Prolonged stay at a timeline outside their main one can be considered a death sentence to a poor lost Xopas. After timeline travelling, depending of the length of the venture, a Xopas usually take weeks to years of rest in order to replenish back the cosmic jelly blood they’ve lost.
