The Initiator

In the beginning, or so scripture tells us, there was naught but the Void. Within the Void, the Initiator awoke. They reached up and to their amazement, the Bedrock appeared, wrapping around their hand. Emboldened, The Initiator pulled themselves through the forming Bedrock Layer until they stood tall and proud upon the foundation of the World. This is how the World began.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

The Initiator’s true form is currently, for lack of a better term, asleep deep beneath the surface of the world.
On the extremely rare occasion that they form an avatar, that body is always in peak physical health and condition.

Body Features

Their true form is a 128 meter (420 ft) tall giant of an entity that appears to be made out of pure bedrock and light, resembling the viewer’s species in further details.
The Initiator has also on occasion taken various avatars. These forms have been all manner of genders, races, and other things all across history. Sometimes fighting on the front lines, at others simply content to live their life in the background.
Their favored humanoid form in the modern Iron Age appears to be a generic non binary human with dark skin, and close cropped hair.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

The Initiator was, for lack of a better term, “born” as a mass of raw creative energy within an empty Void. As they pulled themselves up, the bedrock layer began to spread above them and formed a physical body around them, until the Initiator stood fully an impressive 128 meters in height. They saw the world was dark and cold, and this took a spark of the power in their core. From it, they ignited the sun, from which came Hogimal. Initiator took another spark and created Turavus alongside the moon.
Next to form was Ses’ser from the flecks of Void which remained in the Initiator. As the Overworld, Nether, and End took shape, the God of Creation began to tire, and with a final burst of power, formed the god of humanity, Herobrine. They then passed into what can be assumed to be a deep slumber.
