Residents of The Art Gallery
The Art Gallery is the very pinnacle of The First Floor. Characters are beyond All, The All, and THE ALL scaling and definition.
The Art Gallery houses the Top Tier characters of Heir to the Stars (Tier 8). However, just like ♠The Ace of Spades♠, the tier list cannot exactly apply to them since they exist on every Tier.
Each character here is a "Meta" that has a fathomless existence, as all information, knowledge, origin, etc., is either totally unknown or a complete mystery. It’s impossible to categorize them in any Mathematical, Metaphysical, or Pataphysical way, including whether or not they’re undetermined, self-created, non-created, or possibly something else entirely. They are beings whose existence is beyond any system.
The residents of The Art Gallery also exist within Heir’s Pulse and within ACE to Machina (although they are completely overshadowed). The Black Monarch is the exception to this.
♠The Ace of Spades♠
♠The Ace of Spades♠ is the creator of Heir to the Stars. ♠The Ace of Spades♠ has made it known that its main residence is The Art Gallery. The Art Gallery is the goal of everyone trying to surpass the limits of power. ♠The Ace of Spades♠ is NOT alone as ♠The Ace of Spades♠ has its own personal ensemble that rests within The Art Gallery.
The Black Monarch
The Black Monarch tapped into his true power after betraying his brother and joining God's Will. Sometime after this, The Black Monarch gained the Black Universe, which allowed him vast power comparable to ♠The Ace of Spades♠. ♠The Ace of Spades♠ saw this and promoted The Black Monarch to substitute ♠The Ace of Spades♠, granting him rule over The Art Gallery.
The Black Monarch was removed from this position when Xeranthemum appeared to personally remove him from Creation (Suggs Type).
Creation
The Queen of Creation and Death - Izanami represents the highest point you can reach on the First Floor. She is the wife and ultimate soulmate of Izanagi.
The King of Creation and Life - Izanagi represents the highest point you can reach in The Art Gallery. He is the husband and ultimate soulmate of Izanami.
The Cat in the Magisterium
The Cat in the Magisterium is the creator of The Allscape. While she observes All, The All, and THE ALL of The Allscape and has fashioned everything within it, she is usually within The Art Gallery hanging out with Athenaeus Timaeus.
The Chaos Queen
The "Original" Chaos Queen is greater than any Overture and Finalé. Her story is represented in analogy, "just like a swan, she sang during her time in life, but she only sang so beautifully to existence just before she died." Cassandra Schwanengesang likes to say that she died as a way to express how her view of existence and nonexistence became meaningless. She sits on the outskirts of The Art Gallery, observing all stories that take place.
The "Former" Chaos Queen is a consistent resident of The Art Gallery, currently preparing new Chaos Queens to rise for a coming war.
The Ebony Cat
The Little Ebony Cat is a beyondness that strolls throughout the 1st Floor, cat-walking through every narrative, guiding particular beings of interest to a different story. If the Ebony Cat appears, the story/plot/narrative is either about to change or has retrocausality changed.
The Little Ebony Cat established the Grand Meta-narratives.
The Little Ebony is also Chant du Cygue, which is a Shadow of ♠The Ace of Spades♠, and the first shadow to break away from ♠The Ace of Spades♠ and develop its own individuality and free agency.
Finalé
Finalé is the end of All, The All, and THE ALL scaling and definitions of Narratives and Grand-Meta-Narratives. Finalé is the impassible beyondness that awaits at the end of your narrative.
The Silence of the Butterflies
The Silence of the Butterflies is an ensemble of Overtures. They are the writers of All, The All, and THE ALL scaling and definitions of Narratives and Grand-Meta-Narratives. An Overture is an impassible beyondness that writes your narrative before Creation can begin.
Ōgami
Ōgami are "metas" that stand on The Road to Tomorrow, representing the guardians to the doors of The Art Gallery. One cannot enter if they do not allow it. Consider them the official "Bouncers" of ♠The Ace of Spades♠.
Mother Nature
Mother Nature is a Meta whose vague essence can be felt throughout existence. She is the prelude to Chaos within every plot/story/narrative and creates either Divine Providence, Divine Intervention, or Deus ex Machina whenever she pleases.
Mother Nature is the one that created Realm Reborn Red.
Fragment
Fragment is merely an Observer that prefers to play around with space-time in stories within The Mainfold. Beings usually see it as a stray rabbit.
Cie’ Omega
Cie’ Omega is the Supreme Ruler of the Omegaverse, yet intervenes in the stories within The Mainfold altering narrative causality for fun. Things no longer happen because the plot says they should, but because Cie’ Omega says they should.
Cie’ Omega mainly operates on the 2nd Floor, but only an infinitesimal part of the Einverse. On the 1st Floor, Cie’ Omega is no different than ♕The JOKER♕.
Assessor
Assessor is the Council of The Art Gallery. They operate under orders of Tennō. The judge everything within The First Floor and its outskirts.
The Greatest I AM
The Greatest I AM is the union of the Arbitral Tribunal, The 4 Adjudicators, and Garde des Sceaux.
The Arbitral Tribunal
- Father Il Coniglio: Father is boundless auspicious qualities. The Absolute is the reflection of the Father Il Coniglio in the environment of illusion just like the reflection of the moon, in a pool of water. Father is omniscient, omnipresent, incorporeal, independent, Creator of the 1st Floor; its ruler and also its destroyer. Father is eternal and unchangeable. Father is immanent and transcendent. Father is the subjective experience. Everything is always under its control. The ultimate reality remains Father Il Coniglio and nothing else. Everyone and everything must obey their Father.
- Son Le Lapin: Its nature may be described as boundless existence, boundless consciousness, and boundless delight. There was never a time when Son Le Lapin did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future or endless shall any of us cease to be. It is the basis of the impersonal Boundless, which is immortal, imperishable, and eternal.
- Holy Spirit Lepus: The Truth of All, The All, and THE ALL is an omnipresent Reality that both transcends the manifested Infinity and is inherent in it. This Ultimate Reality, referred to as Holy Spirit Lepus, is Absolute: it is not limited by any mental conception or duality, whether personal or impersonal, existent or nonexistent, formless or manifested in form, timeless or extended in beyond dimensional reality. It is simultaneously All, The All, and THE ALL but is bound by none of them. It is at once The Mainfold, each individual being and thing in The Mainfold, and the Transcendence beyond The Mainfold.
The Arbitral Tribunal is that which first established All, The All, and THE ALL, and The Arbitral Tribunal watches over them.
The 4 Adjudicators
The 4 Adjudicators love 'Time' as time is the most important function of The Mainfold. They allow no one to exist outside of Time. Transcendence means nothing to them. They created and established time before time was ever thought of. They control the flow of time in every aspect and allow time to function to their accord. Not even a Lord God Omnipotent is outside of the bounds of time to them.
- The Black Bunny of the North: It is it who allows pain, suffering, and evil to exist as a form of benevolence.
- The Azure Usagi of the East: It is it who allows inconsistent matter, struggling life, ignorance, limitation, conflict, suffering, death, and evil as a form of benevolence.
- The White Rabbit of the West: It is a boundless extension, boundlessly diverse manifestation, replete with objects and beings ranging from the most unconscious, the vilest, to the most conscious, the most beautiful, and the most divine. It is perfectly consistent with an existence that is Absolute.
- The Vermillion Hare of the South: It is not bound—not bound to its boundless existence, not bound to its boundless consciousness and the force inherent in that consciousness, not bound to its infinite bliss. It is capable of manifesting within its absolute existence innumerable, limitless, even distorted, and contrary forms of its being.
The 4 Adjudicators are present within everything that is written, and everything that is unwritten...
The 4 Adjudicators (Avatars)
Garde des Sceaux
Garde des Sceaux is that which cannot be expressed into words, even though he allows the use of words to educate about Its nature. Garde des Sceaux is absolute and relative to "you" and all configurations of "it" at the same time. It is eternally imperishable even while It is ever-changing. It is said to be both This and That. It is beyond speech and thought, yet the whole range of thought and speech lies within It. ‘Within It’ and ‘without It’ are just expressions, and like any other expressions about Garde des Sceaux, they do justice neither to Garde des Sceaux nor to the speaker (which is Garde des Sceaux) nor to the listener (which is Garde des Sceaux). Garde des Sceaux is lived by existence and nonexistence with ease but cannot be spoken of, in the sense that words are inadequate to encompass that which is the unlimited fullness of transcendental being and the fullness of active presence and absence at the same time. Garde des Sceaux is a “wonder”, for it is not anything that can be conceived of intellectually; it is not anything that can be appreciated by emotion.
Garde des Sceaux (also known as Raito Das Kaninchen) is the most serious of the council Assessor.
