Dimensional Lords
Dimensional Lords are all-powerful beings who reside in the Phantom Dimension of Amethyst. These beings used to be the rulers of the massive interdimensional empires of Amethyst, Emerald, and Sapphire. They now act as the stewards of the interdimensional Enigma Empire. In the old days, there used to be millions of these beings, however, over the eons, many gave up their powers to go and live ordinary mortal lives. Only about twenty chose to keep their powers. Thus the Enigma Empire shrank to literally nothing. However, these few beings still possess powers likening to the almighty angels of the celestial heaven, and they continue to consistently watch the entire multiverse with an interested eye.
History (Before the Paradox Plan):
Shortly after the first Heaven-Hell war that ended with Archangel Michael casting out the Grand Devil, Heaven learned that the Grand Devil had poured all his resources into creating the ultimate corruptive evil: a storm of sentient death called the Maelstrom. Heaven could not fight the Maelstrom directly due to its vows to never directly occupy the Earth Dimension, so He Who Sits on the Throne chose another course of action. Heaven would send the Archangel Bottarr, the powerkeeper, to recruit unique beings from all over the ancient multiverse and give them the powers of archangels. These beings would band together to fight the Maelstrom. Bottarr did so. He searched out and recruited many, many different beings from all over and gave them powers. Then He Who Sits on the Throne tasked the Bottarr to choose three "special ones." Three humans from the Ancient Earth Prime. These special ones were destined to defeat the Maelstrom as a team. Bottarr did this as well. With all these beings recruited, he prepared them all in the massive dimension of Bottarr for the task to come. Unfortunately, 1 billion years into it, the three special ones discovered that the Bottarr was secretly a fallen angel, who was working for the Maelstrom. The special ones killed him. Unfortunately again, this disaster sowed distrust between the three special ones, and they chose to go their own separate ways by forming three separate empires: The Amethyst Empire, the Emerald Empire, and the Sapphire Empire. For 101 billion years, the three empires kept to themselves, exploring and colonizing the ancient dimensions of the old multiverse. However, eventually the greed of the ruler of the Emerald Empire became too much, and she declared war on the Amethyst Empire and the Sapphire Empire. The war was vicious, and it ended with the first-ever destruction of a whole dimension. The war ended in a stalemate, and the three empires retreated to lick their wounds. 208 billion years later, the Emerald Empire attacked again, and another war ensued. However, this war ended with the special one of the Amethyst Empire killing the special one of the Emerald Empire, causing some panic in the Heaven multiverse. The Emerald Empire collapsed after this war, but was reborn as the United Interdimensional Protection Force, a democratic interdimensional nation led by a committee of former Emerald Arch-Lords. This nation got along much better than it had as the Emerald Empire, but bureaucratic corruption began to eat away at the UIPF. 100 billion years later, the UIPF collapsed, and was replaced by the Empire of Dimensional Defense, led by the former right-hand man of the deceased special one of the Emerald Empire. At this time, signs of the Maelstrom began to manifest itself in the southern reaches of the multiverse. 90 billion years later, the Maelstrom attacked without warning. It immediately infected hundreds of dimensions, and would have gone unopposed if not for a valiant stand from the LEGO universe. The Maelstrom was stopped in it tracks long enough for the Amethyst Empire, the Sapphire Empire, and EDD to prepare. Then the war started. It was devastating, and hundreds of dimensions were annihilated. The war swayed back and forth for 40 billion years, until the Dimensional Lord Doxia came up with a plan. This plan consisted of inventing special technology that allowed them to open portals directly to the Maelstrom's weapon facilities. Unfortunately the technology proposed took 10 billion years to invent due to the state of the war and the complexity of the technology proposed. Eventually, however, the technology was finalized, and the plan went into action. The plan ran smoothly, and the Maelstrom lost its foothold everywhere. Nevertheless, there was still an issue: there were only two special ones, the third was dead, and thus the Maelstrom could not be defeated. Heaven then initiated the second Heaven-Hell war by sending Archangel Gabriel and a posse of angels into the depths of hell to retrieve the spirit of the third special one. They did so successfully, but started another war in the process. He Who Sits on the Throne sent the third special one to fight alongside the other two as EDD, the Amethyst Empire, and the Sapphire Empire led its vast armies into the depths of the Maelstrom's HQ in the seventh circle of the Infernal Realm. They, along with Heaven, was able to crush the Infernal Realm's demons as well as the Maelstrom in a single stroke, with the mysterious Dimensional Lord Kytax casting down the Grand Devil, and the three special ones killing the Maelstrom. Thus, the second Heaven-Hell war and the Maelstrom war ended at the same time, and peace ensued momentarily. Heaven's hosts retracted into the Heaven multiverse, and EDD, the Amethyst Empire, and the Sapphire Empire joined together to form the Enigma Empire, with all the Dimensional Lords living together in harmony, with the Great Kytax taking on the title of Grand Leader. Unfortunately, the Grand Devil was patient, and stocked up his armies once again, looking for the perfect time to wage war again.
History (The Birth of the Paradox Plan):
After 200 billion years of peace, the Enigma Empire began to lose vast multitudes of Dimensional Lords, who had grown tired of immortality. They gave up their powers willingly, and returned to their old home dimensions to live out normal lives. Such great numbers gave up their powers that the Enigma Empire's numbers began to shrink exponentially. In less than a billion years, the number of Dimensional Lords had grown from millions to hundreds. Finally the three special ones returned to their homelands, and the Grand Leader retired to some unknown realm. Before leaving, though, the Great Kytax gave the title of leader to the Paradox, an Arch-Lord. The Paradox then led the rapidly diminishing Enigma Empire from then-on-out. At this time, the Grand Devil chose to strike. He sent his demons out into the Earth multiverse to sow chaos, confusion, and terror. The Paradox did his best to respond, but without help from the Heaven multiverse, the small number of Dimensional Lords was not enough to fight the vast host of monsters. The Paradox then created an army of powerful shape-shifting creatures and dubbed them Phasetroopers. Still they were not enough to combat the demons. Deeply distressed by his inadequacy to deal with the demon infestation, hurt and confused by Heaven's refusal to respond, and struggling with a growing inferiority complex issue, the Paradox went on a pilgramige to find a "Great Good," that might help him combat his enemy. He failed. Driven mad by his failure, the Paradox recalled all of the few Dimensional Lords to him. He then retreated into the mysterious old home dimension of the Amethyst Empire and used its unique ability to go into "Phantom Mode." An ability that enabled the dimension to become impervious in extradimensional invaders, and make it invisible to everyone and everything. During his time in the Amethyst dimension, the Paradox locking himself away in his chambers and plotted out the "ultimate plan" that would rid himself of all evil forever. Only this way could be free of the cancer of the Fallen, and be considered greater than the special ones, greater than the Great Kytax, greater than Archangel Micheal, and perhaps even greater than He Who Sits on the Throne. It took 200 billion years, of plotting and building, but finally the Paradox came up with a solution and a means to achieve it. He was going to destroy the multiverse using extremely advanced technology. A Dimensional Energy bomb, which possessed enough power to wipe out the whole Earth Multiverse. It would destroy everything, except for the Amethyst dimension, which was in the Phantom state. He then created a system to set off the bomb using three objects: a tree, a crystal, and a book. The plan would work, but the Paradox needed a way to covertly deploy this system without being discovered, and he needed being to protect the system while he waited for the perfect time. Thus he created Dimensional Travelers, miniscule extensions of his power, to do his bidding.
Dimensional Lords Specs:
Appearance: During the first 900 billion years of existence, Dimensional Lords chose to exist in solid forms. They were tall, majestic, and bipedal covered in white, grey, silver, black, or gold body armor with intricate masked helmets. However, several billion years after the Maelstrom War, the remaining Dimensional Lords gave up their bodies in favor of non-corporeal forms of light, sounds, and energy. However, all Dimensional Lords are master shape-shifters, and so they can take on any form they want anytime.
Powers: Dimensional Lords can harness, control, and synthesize all matter, energy, and magic with ease. They can also easily bend time and space at will, but for the most part they don't risk it in the event of a dimensional collapse. A Dimensional Lord is so powerful, in fact, that they can bring down a whole dimension in less than 7 seconds. Dimensional Lords cannot be killed by mortals or demons, and it is unknown if an angel could take one down.
There are about twenty Dimensional Lords in existence as of now.
Paradox:
Personality: The Paradox is mostly quiet, but he is pretty much insane. He is psychopathic, murderous, and maniacal. However, due to his devotion to his "almighty plan," he pushes down his mad urges to give the perfect front that he is everything good and perfect. It fooled everyone.
History: The Paradox was actually a human from Orbis Terrarum, the first alternate timeline to earth, where a single person chose to not write a fanfiction about ponies and Dimensional Travelers. His true name is undisclosed, and only the Great Kytax knows of it. The rest is classified.
Doxia:
Personality: Doxia is funny, jovial, and a little detached from reality. He mostly acts like this because he is tired of being immortal, but really doesn't want to go back to living a regular life. Thus he fills his days being funny, annoying, and mischievous. Doxia intends to eventually give up his powers, but is waiting for a time when demons are unable to do anything within the Earth multiverse.
History: Doxia wasn't originally a human. He was actually a sentient bipedal dog from a multiverse where cats, dogs, birds, and other animals rule the universe. This dimension collapsed long ago from age, however, so Doxia cannot return to his native homeland.
Pictor:
Personality: Pictor is malicious, sadistic, and homicidal. This is because he believes that he can only find excitement in the pain and death of others. Thus the Paradox uses him as his enforcer.
Histroy: Pictor was an ordinary human from the Wrinkle in Time dimension. The rest is classified.
Meadolax:
Personality: Meadolax is cheerful, kind, and curious. Despite his incredible age, Meadolax never spends a single moment contemplating his plight of immortality, or being nostalgic. Instead, he fills his days exploring the alcoves of a DNA sequence, or observing the birth of a star. Despite his power, Meadolax is always awed by everything in existence.
History: Meadolax was actually a sentient bird from the same dimension Doxia comes from. They were actually friends before they became Dimensional Lords. His whereabouts are currently unknown, so he is not involved in the rebellion against the Paradox.
Mattimeo:
Personality: Mattimeo is serious, quiet, but friendly. He is best friends with Doxia, and constantly acts as the "balancing" side for his friend.
History: Mattimeo was a sentient cat from the same dimension as Meadolax and Doxia. He is a good friend of Doxia, and supports his actions, but believes that what Doxia is doing is drastic. Thus, instead, he is trying to bring down the Paradox and his empire from the inside.
Vaporis:
Personality: Vaprois, like Mattimeom, is quiet, but really enjoys being easy-going. However, when combat is involved, he drops his happy-go-lucky attitude and is blunt, truthful, and straight to the point.
History: Vaporis was a human from an old dimension that collapsed eons ago from age, like Doxia's home dimension. He actually was originally from the Sapphire Empire, but despite his differences with Doxia and his empire, he continued to be good friends with him. He is currently working with Mattimeo to bring down the Paradox from the inside.
Kytax:
Personality: Classified.
History: Classified.
