"Who did you expect at the end of all this? God? The Devil, perhaps? No... it's just... me."

And with strange aeons, even death may die."
― H.P. Lovecraft (The Nameless City)

Capabilities[]

The user can have the traits and abilities of the deities of the Cthulhu Mythos, which can be divided into four broad groups:

The Archetypes: Described in H.P. Lovecraft's "Through the Gates of the Silver Key" as archetypal entities who hold everything in existence as derivative facets of themselves, inhabiting the true nature of reality as a changeless, impartial totality that exists beyond all divisions and perspectives, with even the local identities identified as "the Outer Gods" being merely fragmentary, change-involving perspectives through which The Archetypes can choose to experience reality, in accordance to their own will.

Outer Gods: Described by H.P. Lovecraft as barely focused, near impersonal forces of nature (Nyarlathotep being the only one with real personality), uncaring and supremely indifferent. David Jennison

Great Old Ones: Generally physical beings, if vastly powerful, and as such somewhat more relatable. They could be considered as extremely advanced aliens, although not always made from the matter as we understand it and not as bound to the laws of nature.

Elder Gods: Little is known about them. They are said to be the "benevolent deities" and oppose the Great Old Ones. Some are known to humans as the gods of various mythologies and religions.
