'''Transcendental beings''' were made out of the very matter of time, with a polymorphic lattice of photinos and [[chronon]]s bound together by super-strings. They had incredible powers, though they had difficulties interacting with normal life. Though they could reach the spatial universe, they normally lived in the [[Calabi-Yau Space]] and the [[Time Vortex]].

The powers of transcendental beings seemed to be generally consistent. Both the [[Guardians of Time|Guardians]] and the [[Chronovore]]s had the ability to manipulate [[time]] and take on any appearance they wished, while both the [[Eternal]]s and Chronovores could pull individuals out of their normal time and place.

Additionally there were powers consistent amoung the [[Great Old One]]s and the Guardians respectfully, but whether these were shared across all transcendental beings is unclear, as they were not a true "species" in the normal understanding. | Additionally there were powers consistent amoung the [[Great Old One]]s and the Guardians respectfully, but whether these were shared across all transcendental beings is unclear, as they were not a true "species" in the normal understanding. | ||

Though stated in reference to the Guardians and Chronovores, the god-like powers of transcendental beings meant they were not bound by physical laws but rather codes of conduct. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[No Future]]'') [[Eternal]]s viewed [[Ephemeral]]s (mortals) as toys to be used as diversions from the boredom of [[eternity]].
