Description[]
To battle the brutality of the laws of the universe, intelligent lifeforms must discard their cowardly selfishness and the differences between individuals, fusing into one singular melody — to have the strong help the weak, and to protect life with death.
Profile[]
Xipe is the amalgamation of thousands of entities that preaches the joy of human harmony and unity hailing from multiple harmonious celestial worlds.[1] THEY absorbed Ena the Order when the former ascended into an Aeon due to THEIR colliding paths nearing the end of the Swarm Disaster.[2][3]
Appearance[]
Xipe presents as a serene periwinkle-skinned humanoid with three faces — two on either side of the head and one on the front. The faces are framed with lengthy white curtain bangs and are each adorned with a circlet. Xipes' extensive swathe of hair is colored white with a twinkling dark purple ombre. A bright amalgamation of colors flares behind THEIR head, reminiscent of a halo.
THEIR body, which seems to be made of scattering puzzle pieces, is covered by a form-fitting raiment that is decorated with blue and purple expressions of the cosmos. The outfit's skirt flows long past THEIR feet, and THEIR neck and torso are wrapped firmly in a lattice of gold decorations.
History[]
Ascension[]
In 13XX AE, Tayzzyronth and The Swarm began their spread across the universe, marking the beginning of the Swarm Disaster.[4] It was during this time that Xipe absorbed the Aeon of Order Ena.[5] Xipe would later assist Akivili, Aha, HooH, and Qlipoth in sealing Tayzzyronth.[6]
The Family[]
Xipe and THEIR chosen ones formed a harmonious "Family" composed of members from various civilizations and worlds. They are the closest family there is and believe there should never be contradictions or noisy disputes. Only with eternal love and smiles will the universe become a harmonious whole. The Family frequently calls out to other worlds with their song, encouraging them to embrace Harmony. The Family will celebrate each new world that accepts the blessing of Xipe, and work even harder at praising the Aeon's kindness. The Family has never known any world that grew weary of the singing and voluntarily abandoned the Path of Harmony.[7]
Penacony Chapter[]
Penacony is a chapter of The Family. Its spokesperson is Sunday.[7] Penacony, Land of the Dreams, is an intergalactic hotel. The real Penacony is in the Dreamscape that is entered through the Dreampool in The Reverie Hotel. The Penacony of the Dreamscape is crafted through the combined efforts of Family members, Dreamchasers, and guests.[8]
As Sunday later revealed his plan of placing everyone in a perfect dream, he was confronted by the Trailblazer, Himeko, March 7th and Firefly.[9] When the Trailblazer received the legacy from the Watchmaker, they were gazed by Xipe and thus acquired the Path of Harmony.[10]
Abilities[]
Harmonic Strings[]
The Harmonic Strings are the multiple embodiments of Xipe. They are the down-to-earth virtues that enable harmony. Some believe that the Harmonic Strings are Emanators of Xipe. However they do not follow any specific mortal but are facets of Xipe and can assume any Family member when necessary. The names of the embodiment of Xipe are: Aelenev the commander of the Eternal Centurion, Dominicus the wisher of the Harmonious Choir, Constantina the singer of the Panacoustic Theater, and Beatriz the merrymaker of the Blissfull Ball. Few have seen them outside The Family.[11]
Simulated Universe[]
When Xipe appears in the Simulated Universe, the following sound will play:
Dev Log 1[]
...Xipe the Harmony. Oh, the mother of all stars! THEY proclaimed harmonious hymns of celebration, and united all wills as one. The Family's songs spread to all corners of the world, and THEIR degree of understanding, support, and synergy for the will of all creatures was beyond imagination. Or perhaps, THEY were already on a plane beyond mortal minds. The ever-expanding Harmony was truly worthy of human longing. The universe encircles and decorates THEIR body like crushed diamonds, and civilization became a rainbow to be snatched in THEIR palm. I am filled with curiosity about how THEY swallowed up Order. The hymns of Xipe continue to spread and grow, occasionally overseen by ideology. In contrast, Ena's harmonic songs seems to align within a three-dimensional framework, akin to an emperor maintaining hierarchical order among all creatures. While there may be some overlap between THEIR Paths, the ancient Order is enormous in size, and swallowing THEM would prove far from effortless... Among the Aeons, there exist countless enigmas that surpass my own speculations.
