(8) The Host
N/A
From the web serial Curtains Close, The Host is an extremely powerful entity who created the story of the serial, and the multiverse contained within. He is omnipotent and omniscient, able to perceive everything that has happened, is happening, or will happen unless he intentionally restrains his sight with no ill effects. He is extremely durable as well, ingesting large quantities of raw entropy without suffering any negative side effects, and has good enough reflexes to will time to stop on command in reaction to any attack. His main weapon is his ability to twist reality to his whims, derived from his connection to the story and its fourth wall (being aware of the fact that he is part of a fiction and addressing the readers directly time and again), which he uses not only to defeat, but also humiliate his foes (in a fight with another reality warper, who went on to become the God of a timeline granted to him, he used a fraction of his powers to spawn infinite numbers of clones, each as powerful as the original, teleport to the beginning of time to foil an attempt at assassinating him before the plan was even fully conceived, perfectly freeze time, redirect a special attack designed specifically to kill him, and land a variety of nonlethal hits using circus tricks and comical sound effects). His control over reality is so mighty that, with an utterance of a simple proverb in the right language, reality begun to unravel itself. When assuming a corporeal form, The Host is never seen without his trademark bladed cane, which currently stores the essences of several Concepts (such as Silence, Disease, and Despair). He is confident, arrogant, whimsical, and above all, extremely bitter and disillusioned about his lot in life, resigned to engage in the most ridiculous of pranks or the vilest tortures to satisfy the whims of The Audience.
