One Being

The One Being, otherwise known as The First Being, is the original Cosmic Protector and Keeper of Reality.

Biography
In the time before time, there existed the One Being. They wove the fabric of reality and created the multiverse. The One Being set in motion the creation of planets, stars, and even life. They created Himlen – a place of eternal peace where those with good in their hearts go to when their time comes. It is also where the Cosmic Protector and Keepers of Reality reside. Then, there was Helvete – the place of eternal suffering and horror. Helvete is where those with evil in their hearts are condemned to.

When Lucifer attempted to overthrow the One Being they cast Lucifer out of Himlen and into Helvete for all eternity. Lucifer proclaimed that he would rise again and be just as, if not more powerful than a Cosmic Protector. The One Being knew such a thing was impossible. However, they put measures in place so that Lucifer could not become too powerful.

When the One Being cast Lucifer into Helvete, they put some rules in place. Lucifer could collect as many evil souls as he wanted, but could not do it directly nor right away. Lucifer found soldiers known as Reapers to do it for him. Souls have the chance to redeem themselves via reincarnation portals placed in certain parts of Helvete. The One Being then stated that if enough souls have successfully redeemed themselves and are able to pass into Himlen, they would shut down Helvete entirely.

The One Being observed the multiverse, watched events unfold; new realities forming under their eyes. The One Being also saw those with evil in their hearts; rising to power, being overthrown by one cause or another. Very few had become so powerful that they could be considered a threat.

Eons passed, and the One Being considered finding a successor. They found perfect options in each reality. So, the One Being appointed them Cosmic Protectors of their own respective realities. The One Being then said that whenever a Cosmic Protector has a successor, they shall become a Keeper of Reality. And for eons, that very thing happened. Many Cosmic Protectors have been chosen and become Keepers of Reality when they find a successor.

Abilities and Traits
The One Being possesses the Ultimate Element, meaning they have unlimited power. They have the ability to create and destroy entire universes, change the events of history, literally anything. As previously stated, once a Cosmic Protector finds a successor, they become a Keeper of Reality. However, the only thing that separates the two is simply their title. A Cosmic Protector is equally as powerful as a Keeper of Reality and vice versa, this is because a Keeper of Reality is simply a previous Cosmic Protector.

All the One Being needs to do to make something happen is think about it and decide that it will happen. The One Being, like other Cosmic Protectors and Keepers of Reality have the ability to see into every possible reality and future. While some may find this maddening, they are able to retain their sanity in spite, or because of their limitless knowledge.

Mask and Tools
The One Being wears the Kanohi Omni – the Mask of Life and Creation. The One Being thought of this mask when they created their physical form. They decided on the mask's power and appearance. Their reasoning behind this was simply because they could.

The One Being wields the Staff of Creation. They infused it with the power of the Ultimate Element, yet they do not need the staff at all. Only a Cosmic Protector or a Keeper of Reality can wield this staff, effectively rendering it just decorative. The One Being also made this simply because they could.
