All Father
The god of Baroque. He decides who is born with a Power Core and devours the rest to feed a hunger that cannot be satisfied.
All Father — Simply known as God, All Father is an eternal, deity-level being of unknown race who resides in the The Cradle Above and stands as the single most powerful entity in the world of Baroque, worshipped as a religious figure and holding ultimate authority over the distribution of Power Cores — deciding who receives them and who doesn't, though his motivation for this is rooted not in benevolence but in his own insatiable hunger, as he ultimately devours Power Cores to feed an eternal craving that can never truly be satisfied. His appearance is unlike anything mortal — an all-white humanoid entity that radiates a blinding, intense glow resembling a pure white sun, with black flaring eyes and the well-built silhouette of a powerful man, emanating an aura of unwavering, relentless, and overwhelming power so intense that his mere presence alone is reported to render people unconscious. This is fitting, as encounters with All Father are exceptionally rare — most who have seen him have not survived. He wields no Power Core of his own, instead surpassing every known limit of strength, speed, and endurance so completely that the concept of a Power Core is beneath him. His primary combat ability involves making devastating cuts and slashes at any location he chooses simply by waving or swiping his arm — these cuts can range from a light scratch to splitting a target completely in half, and he can execute them at will with virtually no energy expenditure. His fighting style is one of supreme, casual indifference — he walks, stands his ground, and allows outside forces to throw him around without concern, cutting down anything and anyone at his leisure, nearly invincible and entirely unbothered, a being for whom combat is not a challenge but simply an extension of existing.
