Val

"I just hope these people can experience what I never got: acceptance."

Val was once a human who was suffering through a world that wanted them dead, before noclipping into the Backrooms at age 18 and being crowned an Avatar of Kuri’mas. They had spent years not knowing the circumstances of their new power, leading to tragic accidents that caused them to isolate for three years. Despite the unimaginable hardships they've been through, they have moved past their struggles and repaired what was lost to them. They now watch over Level 304, reforming it in the hopes that it may become a safe haven to all.

Null-06

"His path of destruction knows no bound nor limit, as the very stars tremble in fear before him."

Singularis was the living embodiment of destruction, standing as the Foe of Creation. Despite his seemingly dichotomous and intelligent mind, he frequently fell prey to vices of wrath. As such, he opposed the rest of the Pantheon’s desire to create their paradise. This ultimately led to a battle with Claudius, in which he was slain and collapsed into a black hole. A statue in his likeness resides in The Grave.

Y'liad Elyion

"… It was in that moment of wellnigh death… that I perfected My Sword and… unleashed… upon My near-equal, a form that… not even I could have divined… "Vanish", he called it… as he fell unto white grass… he earned respect even in death…"

Y'liad Elyion, the profaned lord of a carcass-turned cosmos. In his former world, he was crowned as "Paramount-King-of-All-Kings-atop-Greymount" and eventually became known as "The Greyking" by those who survived his conquest of stupor. In the Lost, he is called "Y'liad the Malevolent", "Y'liad the Putrid", "Y'liad, Sword Saint Unworthy", "Y'liad the Unkingly", "Y'liad the Vilest", and more after the Massacre in the Fifty-first Domain, where he is forever remembered as a slaughterer in their history. The Greyking appears as a long-haired, tall, pale man, cloaked in an ashen blue royal robe, who wields a silver sword—a guise hiding pale flesh—but other manifestations include a bearded old king, a faceless abomination in royal attire, and Death itself. He is a master combatant by heart despite his atrocious crimes, only allowing his spare time to train and spar with all varieties of weapons. He is skilled the most in swords, next spears, and then bows. One of the most inactive members in the Pantheon.

Yet, they are incapable of handling anything else other than those warm emotions that are part of Love, if they were to experience too much sorrow, the heartbreak would be too unbearable to go through.

"Sacrifice is the biggest part of Love, the more one loves the more one will suffer, because one will sacrifice everything for love, even if it means falling apart and losing who they once were, sacrificing everything to protect those that are loved, no matter the price. That is the power that Love has over a mind."

She was once a human who loved too much, and that same Love caused suffering and grief many times in her life. During the brink of death she showed resilience in persisting to live, for the love she felt towards others, that burning determination to protect and to maintain a promise. She did not die that day, but she did not live either, she is now trapped in a prison of her own conscious, but once she will be reborn, she will become part of Love once more, and her future will be chosen by her own hands, instead of the hands of fate.
