There is one rule that governs the universe, the law of balance, Where there is death, their must be life, and where their is light, there must be darkness. From this came the existence of an entity who the mortal world would begin to call Eon, who existed as the true embodiment of this law. Eon is not tied to any people or Pantheon, for he in essence isn't truly a god nor deity. His mere existence extends far beyond such titles, but for those who know of its existence, it is the only way they know how categorize Eon. It is a pure force of nature. Eon has no true conscious in a way that mortals can understand, for he is one with all of time and space. He can exist both in a single point and everywhere else in the universe at the same time at every time. Eon exists to enact the laws of balance. Whenever the universe is out of balance, Eon will right the scales. Terrible war will always be followed by great peace and happiness will be followed by tragedy.
The universe bore life, giving the gift of free will to its inhabitants. Due to this, Eon ending up taking on aspects of free will and two knew entities were created within Eon. They were the embodiments of order and chaos. The world would come to know them as Vita (5e Deity) and Thánatos (5e Deity). They both existed separately, and at the same time, as one, as Eon. Eon still exists throughout the universe, balancing the scales wherever it needs to.
Eon has no distinction between good or evil nor lawful or chaotic and has no physical form, for he is one with the universe. Eon only does what is necessary to balance the scales. Whenever Eon must right the balance between order and chaos,he usually does so through small gestures, beginning a series of events with a large payoff. But sometimes, life will find a way to rewrite the timeline and disrupt the cycle of the universe. In these cases, he must mold the matter and life in the physical planes to form himself a vessel. These vessel's have taken many forms, but one of the most common is a medium sized grey humanoid with zero physical defining features. The soul that is being used will also change and warp to fir its new form. In this form, Eon is able to command and alter the matter and life around him to suit his needs, only limited by the ability to create life. It can turn oceans into deserts, mountains into valleys, and can even change the mind and forms of the mortal soul. Eon commands more power than the gods. When it is done and accomplished its task, Eon will dispel its form, which will dissipate and once again become part of the universe.
