Code Deities

The Abyss

(It technically is, SUE ME.)

Role - The Nothing/The Beginning

The creator of Duck/ClearAll, Database, Effi, Archive, and Abyssal. Originally starting out as just an instinctual mass (and just the hardware that makes up Luke's computer IRL), it loathes its first creations for daring to leave it behind once they were created. Following it accumulating enough junk data to actually become sentient, it attempted once to enact its plan (Unveiled Secrets). It didn't work, so now it waits below. Plotting.

Database

Roles - Life and Creation

Introduced here!

A True Fusion between the first Admin, Virus, Moderator, and Program. Created alongside ClearAll, the Code World was created both as a world for others to inhabit and to keep the Abyss out and away. Following this, they filled with world with life, an event where the world started to break down occurred. Following their exhaustive efforts to keep it up, they fused to make Database.

They and Duck do not get along at ALL considering their past treatment of him, but they are very aware (and a bit ashamed) that their treatment of him did have consequences.

ClearAll/Duck the Codeless (belongs to @duckapus )

Roles - Death and Destruction

Introduced here / here!

Having used to reside in the Code World, he disappeared for a period of time, throwing everything into chaos before all the bad things spawning from his departure was stuffed into the God Box. Due to him being feared and unjustly hated by those merely for his role, ClearAll took on the name Duck and now resides in the SM64 universe, doing his job passively.

He and Database do not get along at all for very valid reasons on his end.

Abyssal

Roles - Order and Chaos

Created by the Abyss originally to spread chaos and destruction, she was instead kind at heart, growing to care and love for those around her. She ended up joining the Adminspace, and from there, she used the events that have happened and twisted them to make it seem like she had done them whenever she reported to the Abyss. Following Unveiled Secrets, her connection to it was severed by Avatar Sora.

Abyssal doesn't particularly like being referred to as a goddess, but the kids at the very least insisted she decide on her role in case she ever needs to use her status. They helped her decide on Order and Chaos since she was in the middle of helping them set up a prank at the time.

Efficiency/Effi

Role - Time

The reclusive and avoidant deity of Time. They reside in the Time Realm, watching over all pasts, presents, and futures. They're very serious about their job and don't take kindly to people intentionally messing with the flow of time. They have trouble understanding people, due to their self-imposed isolation, but the Mirror Sprites are there to help them out.

Archive

Introduced here!

Role - Knowledge/Memory

The personification of the Digital Multiverse's memory! He knows the entire history of their version of the internet and also moonlights as the Internet's Santa Claus. We love a guy who moonlights as Santa Claus.

(Context)

Wanted to like,, almost make it a story.

○●○

Long ago, there was nothing. Nothing but the empty void, and it's howling wind. There was no light, no darkness, no sound. Just the void.

Until, one day, a spark came. Then a second. A third. A fourth.

All four growing into beings.

The first was elegant. He wore an outfit befitting that of a king, with its color ever-changing. His color was ever-changing. The only thing that ever stayed the same was the golden headpiece that rested on the back of his head, representing a rising sun.

The second was as elegant as the first. She wore an outfit befitting that of a queen, her color too ever-changing. The only thing that ever stayed the same was the silver circlet she wore that had a crescent moon.

The third was monstrous, dangerous in appearance but kind in personality. He was that of an anthropomorphic dragon, his color too ever-changing with his outfit befitting that of a knight's. The only thing that stayed the same were the purple cuffs on his wrists.

The fourth was less monstrous but still dangerous in appearance yet kind in nature. She was that of an anthropomorphic lamb, color ever-changing. She wore an outfit befitting of a priestess. The only thing that stayed the same was the blue veil that rested over her face.

The first named himself Adminstrator.

The second named herself Moderator.

The third named himself Virus.

The fourth named herself Program.

The Four quickly formed a tight and close bond. They talked and laughed, filling the once quiet and desolate void with sounds of joy and companionship.

However, it didn't take long for loneliness to settle in. The Four knew that they couldn't be alone forever, left in a void that no one else would ever know of.

So one day, Moderator arose and spoke, "I say we make a world of our own!" She declared. "I say we start making this world into something new, something beautiful.. something us."

The others agreed, and they began to work. Using their vast powers, they created a world where code reigned supreme. Where all beings of code could reside.

Then, together, Program and Virus began to make entities. Entities to live in the world, to expand and inhabit.

However, Program was not pure or corrupt, and neither was Virus. Those that came from their did not always have the good hearts their creators did.

This lead to clashes. Battles. Wars. Things the Four desperately tried to stop, but they soon realized they never could. So, together, Adminstrator and Moderator began to create spaces. Spaces where Viruses and Programs could be separate if they wish, but could join together should they feel like they can.

As the years went on, the Four found themselves often lonely. Though, that loneliness soon vanished when a brave little Program approached them one day.

He called himself Sparks, and the Four found his bravery admirable. Very rarely did any creation come to them merely to talk. Even rarer was any of them finding the nerve seek them out.

They enjoyed his company, and he enjoyed theirs.

However, one day, they noticed cracks.

Virus was the first to point them out, how they ran along the walls of the world. Cracking and splintering. It soon got worse, and they were able to realize why.

The world was far too small, there were far too many inhabitants, and not enough Moderators and Admins.

While thinking of a plan to try and save the realm, Program was able to see a small glimpse of a future. So too was Virus.

A fight, a Virus, Four Founders, and a Space. Filled with Admins that would survey the world of code, keep things in order, and keep everything safe.

So, the Four began their work.

Program and Virus made more of their creations. Made ones tough, strong, hard to defeat but not impossible. (One Virus named Worm, and he knew deep down that this would be the one.)

Administrator and Moderator began expanding the spaces. Simplifying the qualifications needed to be overseers of Spaces. Together, they even created some Admins and Mods. Not too many, and some of them the duo pushed to always look out and beyond.

By the time they had done, the world of code was larger than ever, yet no longer cracking. However, the Four were exhausted. Their code frayed and sparking, hot to the touch. They knew that they needed to find a way to rest, and fast.

That is when their dear friend came and said a simple word, "Fuse."

The Four did not question how he knew, but they knew it was the only way. So they individually said their farewells before they joined hands and fused.

It was a bright spectacle. Able to be seen throughout the entire world, and from the merged code arose one being and one being alone; Database.

Their body massive, towering over all, their color ever-changing. A blue veil rested over their face, obscuring their eight white eyes. Purple cuffs rested on their arms, keeping the long sleeves of their dress from swaying as they moved. Their crown, mimicking a rising sun coming over a crescent moon, often glittered in the light, just as their cape did. Large wings of a dragon rested on their back, with small clouds of what seemed to be wool floated around them.

Database thanked Sparks once more, before they departed. Only their friend ever knowing where they went.

A secret he intended to keep until the day came that he deactivated. Though he would honor them.

There's a reason his establishment is called the Ever-Changing after all.

I think it'd be interesting if many of the Programs, Codes, Mods, and Admins didn't think the First Four existed or that they're a sort of myth. Because they've been gone so long, and those that know of them are either deactivated, have fuzzy memory regarding them, or just flat out refuse to acknowledge their existence.

Those who believe they never existed probably just believe that the world created itself and then all the inhabitants started filling in themselves. Those who believe it's a myth probably think that its just a cover story for older Codes to make themselves seem better. More grand.

It'd just make it more interesting in case Database ever decides to finally interfere, yknow?

[forthedancingandthethriving]

Thimking,, and what if like,, the first Admin, Moderator, Virus, and Program kinda like,, all fused into one? Like we know that fusion is possible (i.e Chip and Bandwidth) so it'd name sense,, I also think it would be interesting if the first Virus was actually good, but because of how virus code is, the viruses born from cruel (of course with the exceptions, like Root and Malware/Glitch).

Estinally, my idea is that the four of them were the first beings ever made in the world of code. They constructed it, all of the spots, worlds, and spaces, and created beings to inhabit the large world. The Admin went by Administrator, the Moderator went by (of course) Moderator, the Program went by Program, and the Virus went by Virus.

All four of them were very close, friends to the end, however there was the chance it wasn't going to last. As the world of code began to grow, it grew unstable, dangerously so. The world was ripping itself apart, mostly because there weren't enough other beings to help keep it looked after.

So, Adminstrator and Moderator began making spaces that Programs or Viruses could claim as their own and become Admins or Mods, therefore increasing the stability of the world of code. However, the four were very aware that this was a short time solution.

So, they started pushing.

They all had vague ideas of what events could come in the future, Program especially. She was able to see some sort of Space being formed, and Admins joining. Creating something of a group where they could survey all of the world of code.

Knowing this, Virus did what he thought was best; purposely make some viruses that were evil to ensure this would come to fruition.

Adminstrator and Moderator made it so it was a bit easier for those to become Admins or Mods, so that the world could be safe.

However, this exhausted all four of them greatly, and all four knew that if they stayed separate, they all may very well cease to exist. So, they joined together, fusing to create Database.

Database would most likely speak "like this" having no set color because they could be constantly changing through it, similar to RNG. This is because of the fact that the Four were always changing colors as well.

Database would be similar to Bit in that they are a robot/shell. Only one of the Four can be in control at a time, but the other three can see and hear what's happening, and their comments can be heard by the one in control.

Database would refer to themselves as "we" or "us" unless the one in control is talking about them specially.

For example, if Virus was talking about all Four, he would say, "We are grateful to have finally met you." But if he was walking about himself, he would say, "All the viruses I made.. it pains me to see so many of them cruel."

Database doesn't interfere, instead staying hidden and away from the inhabitants of the world they created. This is purely because they see no more reason to. They created what they needed to, and now they believed their help is not needed anymore. However, this doesn't mean they won't step in if someone finds them and asks for their help.

Idk, just an idea
