Symbol of Perfection

Share

Perfection. The power that my sona bears. Many have described it and tried to reach it in different ways, but no one actually knows what perfection is. Some don't wish for perfection because it wouldn't make things as interesting as they could be, and are often rebuffed by those who do wish for it. Some have even gone and said perfection doesn't exist.


Well it does. And it's way more than anyone believes it to be.


Perfection is an enigma to describe. To put it simply, it's a power that gave birth to everything, literally EVERYTHING, including the super-energies Absolution and Nothingness, which are actually its halves. Absolution is a power formed of every Fundament, which take the form of different energies and elements, while Nothingness is another energy that overwrites/removes all others, makes it like they never existed. Not many know of either energy's origins and fewer understand them. It started off with creating the universe, which had zillions of different beings in it. These beings were made unaware of their origins AND of their powers, which remained dormant inside them due to the Nothingness half dimming it down. There are currently two known means by which it can be awakened however:


1: By getting blessed by the progenitor of Perfection; the blessed beings call it Providence.

2: Being brought into a realm known as Dusectra, either by Providence or some other way.


Anyone and anything that has gone through one of these methods has taken a drastic change in appearance, whom have called themselves Perfectionists. Ever since the discovery of Perfection, Perfectionists have been doing different things with their new power, the most prominent being the visitation and inhabitation of Dusectra, which IS Perfection itself. Those who have not activated their power yet have seen those who have question many things, and some who DO activate their power question much much more. Luckily, Perfection has all the answers, as it is omnipotent, omniscient AND omnipresent. It is the power to do anything, everything and more, even controlling concepts and definitions. At least, in its own concept.


Perfectionists still have their limits. While they are able to control anything linked to Absolution and Nothingness, they still have levels of power depending on how strong and adept they were before their power activated, and there are rules they must follow to ensure they don't make a mess of things, otherwise Providence will "revoke" them. Revoked Perfectionists have been forgotten by all non-Perfectionists, wiped from time, space and memory. This makes even the most hardened Perfectionists fearful of breaking whatever rules Providence has set for them. After all, there's always a bigger fish. Most Perfectionists follow the rules thankfully, and thus the number of revoked beings is kept at an all-time low. As for what they do besides dwelling in and visiting Dusectra? Well, it varies.


Some Perfectionists merely enjoy life in their universe, some help or ruin lives with their powers, and others venture to this realm beyond the universe, beyond Dusectra. Some call it Fiction, a realm where ideas live similarly, yet differently from Perfectionists. And not just any ideas; these ideas were ones the universers had! Cartoon characters, movie characters, game characters, they and a lot more exist and form this realm of Fiction. It was staggering, even to Perfectionists who had journeyed there to find proof of this other realm, especially after learning that versions of themselves live here too! To ensure they do not mess up the minds or worlds of these ideas, the Perfectionists either remain in hiding or hide their new appearances (which they named Perfector forms). There is one in particular who has been jumping from world to world in Fiction, doing his own thing while limiting the actions he does in said worlds, as he wishes not to break Providence's rules. They're ALWAYS watching, even away from home...you can probably guess who this world-jumper is.


Ultimately, Perfection is a beyond-miraculous power that originated everything in some way or another. One can even say it is the answer to the universe and beyond. Just make sure you don't take your gift for granted; Providence is an unforgiving entity...

And here you go, the power that my sona and a few others possess. This power's subsidiaries, Absolution and Nothingness, are prominent and important to a series I'm working on on DA called Ultimate, while Perfection is important to another called Convergence, which I may be moving here along with a few other things. Not much else to say here, so I just hope you like the pic.


Fun Facts:

- I based the symbol off of the yin-yang symbol, hence the whitish and blackish grey spirals inside the circles.

- The symbol itself is a fusion of the infinity symbol and the number 0, a reference to Absolution's control over all elements and Nothingness's nullification of said elements. The colours in the middle are meant to be different energies mixed into this power.

- The red, blue and green colours inside the circles are meant to represent offense, defense and utility, known properly as Impetum, Custodire and Utendum (Latin for assault, protect and utilise respectively). These play a heavy role in a certain pastime in Dusectra, as do the slanting energies on the corners.

- This lore and power is linked to some of https://jumblemaster.newgrounds.com/'s characters, a friend of mine I chatted with on Discord about Perfection and Ultimate.

- My sona's clothing reflects the colours of the icon; the shirt is light grey for Absolution, and the trousers are dark grey (though they may look more black than anything ^^;) for Nothingness. The symbol also shines in pure grey, referencing the mixture of the two energies.
