If Onu had his way, the Twins would stay within the confines of their safe home cohort of monocosms, sheltered from the dangers that lay beyond. Similar to his sister, Onu is aware of his twin’s emotions always, even from afar. Onu is not particularly sympathetic towards Dei though and sees her as an idiot with a universe for a brain who invested in silly hobbies that waste valuable metatime. In return, Dei thinks that Onu is overprotective, clingy, and desperately needs to relax.

Onu often complains toward his elderly and incredibly patient neighbour Tris about his sister. It’s possible that Tris had learned to tune out Onu’s complaints so that they did not register, but the experienced SuperGod always maintains his stances and tries to provide the much younger SuperGod with advice that he learned from his experiences. When the advice does not work out for Onu, the young SuperGod would often complain about Tris to Dei for never providing useful advice.

Dei is a SuperGod and Onu’s sister. Dei has always been very interested in the history and nature of her ability Mind Link, frequently visiting Qorter’s Library outside of Anarchaon as often as she can to research whilst also unintentionally being very obnoxious towards other visitors of the Library. Qorter is not fond of her at all. The route and tunnels that connect the Library’s bubble and Anarchaon is not a particularly safe path and is home to many hostile entities of the Transcendent ecosystem. However, Dei does not care and unusually, has never once been seriously injured. Onu remains paranoid about his sister’s safety and thinks she is setting herself up to be killed, but Dei thinks that her brother is being silly. Onu was the only Twin that would nearly die whenever they exited their monocosmal cohort so if anyone had to be cooped up safe at home, it really had to be him and him alone.

Dei is allegedly “hypernaturally lucky” and physical harm is very rarely inflicted to her. When she did get hurt, the injuries were typically so minor that they never actually mattered very much despite the fuss Onu makes over them. This has led her to be very careless and carefree when traversing Anarchaon, nearby Beyond bubbles, and tunnels. Her carelessness never seems to pay off, making her detested by many SuperGods—including Onu and Qorter. Qorter has often tried to assassinate Dei but she always catches on and avoids his traps. Dei thinks Qorter is just playing hard-to-get and flirts with him in return.

Dei is able to know Onu’s feelings. However, much like her brother, she does not sympathize with what motivates her twin. Dei is also aware of her brother’s health. Normally being aware of when a sibling was severely injured would be a cause for concern, but considering how much Onu puts himself back together after incidents, Dei remains unconcerned about Onu’s general health much to his disdain. Though Dei is generally much calmer and more collected than her more hotheaded brother who was prone to having breakdowns and outbursts, Dei can often get a bit too excited over her passions for her own good much to the annoyance of other SuperGods.

Dei is very kind towards Tris and Tris is kind to her in return. Whenever she gets the chance (often when the Library was closed for some unknown reason), Dei would ask Tris to tell her stories about the past and hopefully find missing pieces of the puzzle that was the origin of her powers. Usually Dei gets misled by nonexistent links and goes on wild arelari chases afterwards, much to the annoyance of Onu and Tris. Dei wonders about the many stories and secrets Tris harbours and wonders if he truly knows of any links to her powers. Onu thinks that Dei is being ridiculous with her theories and should focus more on surviving in her hostile surroundings.

The Elder is a relatively well-known legendary figure among many Transcendent Ecosystem species such as SuperGods often credited for the creation of the Transcendentem Continuum or Transcendentem depending on the group that discusses him. He is often described as a very powerful Aspect Lord, though few cultures estimate that the Elder's power may have been actually closer to that of a Transcendental Guardian or Greater Guardian. The creation of the eponymous pseudolifeform "Elder's Fire" is also very often credited to the Elder, though it is not actually known if the Fire had Aspect Lord origins due to the lack of substantial, replicable evidence that suggested anything of the sort. The majority of stories about the Elder consistently agreed that he created a deity vaguely similar to those of Least, Lesser, Greater, and Transcendental Guardians creatively dubbed "the Higher Guardian". The story of the Elder and his child is one of the oldest known stories to SuperGods and it is not known when the first inscripverses that recorded the story were created.

The Elder is by far the most commonly interpreted as well-meaning but an impulsive, reckless, and somewhat negligent individual that very often acted before he thought. If the Elder were to realize a mistake he made, he would immediately try to solve it with the first solution in mind. This greatly contrasted with the Higher Guardian's more prudent and intensely protective nature and created conflict between the two. However, alternate and less mainstream interpretations see the Elder as divine, wise, and benevolent while the Higher Guardian was more malicious and her creation was the Elder's greatest mistake. Such beliefs are held by the somewhat maligned group of SuperGods known as the Clan of the Followers of Nali.

Possible creations

Many texts and inscripverses claimed that the Fires that can ravage the Ecosystem and allegedly burn through solid Transcendentem with ease was a creation of the Elder himself. As such, the Fires are very often called "Elder's Fire". Despite being named after the Elder, it is not actually known if the Elder's Fire can actually be attributed to an Aspect Lord from beyond the Transcendentem Continuum, not even by SuperGods that possessed omniscience^3. However, due to the lack of evidence that an Aspect Lord did not create Elder's Fire, it is also not actually known if the Fires did not have Aspect Lord-related origins.

It is debated whether or not the Elder actually directly created the Transcendentem Continuum (or Transcendentem). The oldest inscripverses that were held in Inscripverse archives owned by SuperGods such as Qorter and Abstractil do not make any mention or useful description of the structure that the Elder and Higher Guardian had dominion over. The most natural conclusion SuperGods came to was the Transcendentem, but due to the advent of a particularly vocal omniscient^3 entity that had a rudimentary understanding of post-beyond cosmology, many became more willing to accept that a large ?+4-verse imaginatively named the "Transcendentem Continuum" was a more likely candidate for the structure the Higher Guardian and Elder had power over.

Some SuperGods believed that rather arcane and rare recessive abilities that SuperGods were able to possess such as Mind Link and the ability dubbed omniscience^3 had origins related to the Elder. Some believed that SuperGods with such abilities were descendents of those that might have been granted the ability, while others believed that the SuperGods were direct descendents of the Elder himself. Others believed that the abilities had no close connection to any actual being that was the Elder whatsoever and were probably just the result of anomalous godsmoke.
