Chronos was the first born son and third child of the Goddess of the Abyss, Khaos. He was formed from the Dark Energy as an embodiment of time itself. Unlike his siblings, and thanks to his special connection to the multiverse, Chronos already knew who and what he was, as well as his purpose. He gives himself the alias "Father Time" and immediately took to looking after the time stream.

Holiest Matrimonies

Powers and Abilities

Powers

  • Protogenoi Physiology: Chronos is the third eldest of the Protogenoi, the Primordial Classical Deities. She is massive and powerful primordial embodiment of Time.
    • Transcendence: Like all Protogenoi, Chronos exists above all Timelines and Universes as the only version of himself in existence. This is especially so as Chronos is the embodiment of all time.
    • Omnifarious: The Protogenoi have no true physical form, Chronos is no exception. To interact with the material world, Chronos creates an elderly male humanoid Avatar. This Avatar is a complete fabrication of Chronos' subconscious and can look like whatever he wants it too.
    • Immortality: Chronos is well over 30 billion years old and is still in his prime despite the outward age of his Avatar. He was born an adult and has not aged physically since, as he is incapable.
    • Atemporality: Chronos, like all Multversal Entities, are immune to shifts in time and time based magic. He is unable to be frozen in time and will not forget all that happens in alternate timelines and temporal shifts, even if they are erased. Furthermore, Chronos is fully aware whenever time is tampered with and by who and actively works to put time back in order.
    • Nigh-Invulnerability: Especially since his Avatar is not her actual body, it is nearly impossible, if possible at all, to harm Chronos and his true form is all but invincible to physical attacks.
  • Powers via the Harvesting Scythe: [To Be Expanded]
    • Temporal Slicing: By imbuing Kronos' Harvesting Scythe with his temporal magic, Chronos uses it to manipulate the timeline by cutting through it. With it, he can separate branched timelines, isolating them, like he did with the Mother Timeline and Dark Timeline, or completely erase an entire timeline if he wanted to.
