Outer God

Description

Outer Gods are eldritch entities originating from outside the boundaries of the main world, often manifesting as beings that defy human comprehension. They are described as beings that are not supposed to exist in the current reality, appearing as shifting mosaics or indescribable forms often accompanied by tentacles. Their existence is linked to the expenditure of Probability through the Great Hole, which dictates the extent of their power. While Constellations fear them and ordinary incarnations collapse at the mere sight of them, they remain a potent force capable of making deals. They are not biological lifeforms in the traditional sense, possessing neither flesh nor blood. Ultimately, they are the forgotten or outcast entities discarded from previous rounds of the original novel.

Gods of other worlds

Eldritch-like beings

Personality

As eldritch entities, their nature is beyond human language and comprehension. They represent a fundamental fear that exists outside the normal bounds of reality. They operate as forces of nature or ancient cosmic powers rather than individuals with human-like emotions, although they are capable of making deals with other beings.

Appearance

Outer Gods are characterized by their constantly shifting, incomprehensible forms that defy simple description, often appearing like a mosaic. They are almost universally associated with the presence of tentacles. Stronger Outer Gods are depicted as being humongous in size, and they lack the physical traits of living creatures, having neither blood nor true flesh.

Backstory

The Outer Gods are defined as the forgotten or outcast beings from previous rounds of the 'Ways of Survival' scenario. They exist outside the intended narrative of the current timeline, having been relegated to the status of entities that were never meant to exist in the established world. Their presence is permitted only when an excessive amount of Probability is expended, allowing them to breach the world via the Great Hole.
