Methuselah

Methusaleh is the posthumous name given to a primordial entity that once ruled over the planet of Tychron until its mysterious death 2000 years ago. Whether by coincidence or as a consequence of its death, the world endured a series of cataclysms that destroyed nearly every society on the planet, leaving it barren until a series of dimensional anomalies occurred, bringing people and places from other dimensions to the planet.

The being itself was split into several pieces, representing various universal forces, which were then scattered across the planet via unknown means.

Appearance
Methusaleh's full appearance is not known, though to-scale recreations of its being that exist in the current day seem to indicate that it was nearly 18 feet tall.

Background
Little is known about the origins of Methusaleh, other than it seemingly arose when the universe did, or close to that point in time. Surviving texts indicate that it was considered the highest authority on the planet, and that conflicts were often petty in nature because of this. To some, it was worshiped in a similar manner to a god, though to others, it was merely a king with some form divine providence.

It appeared to rule without an agenda, merely existing as an arbiter of sorts when conflict arose. It seemed to exercise extraordinary power when roused to act, though it would seemingly take great pains to avoid excessive casualty.

At some point two thousand years ago, Methusaleh died of unknown causes, destabilizing the world's nations and causing natural disasters galore. Eventually, little remained except the ruins of every remaining civilization, as well as the now destabilized form of the world's former ruler. This form would eventually burst forth into its constituent parts, each of which representing an abstract and/or force at work in the universe.
