Ewigkeit

Summary
Ewigkeit (real name long forgotten) is an antagonist in The Black Pillars. Eons ago in previous iterations of the universe, Ewigkeit encountered a mysterious man dressed like a Harlequinn, and managed to impress him so much that he was offered a single wish. Growing old and terrified his own mortality, Ewigkeit wished for "ewigkeit" (eternity). The being granted his wish, and though at first it seemed as though nothing had happened as he lay on his deathbed, Ewigkeit soon grew to understand what had happened.

Whenever Ewigkeit died, he would resurrect after a time equivalent to how long he had lived for - having died at the age of 90, he spent 90 years in a vague state of oblivion, then resurrected. Initially overjoyed at being able to live through multiple lives over and over, Ewigkeit's joy quickly turned to horror as he outlived the rest of humanity. The sun expanded over the planet, and he died, and then he was reborn, and then he died and was reborn until the sun too had died out. Drifting through the vaccuum of space eternally dying and resurrecting, he had only one hope - that when the universe itself finally ended, he would die for good.

Alas, it was not to be, and as the emptiness of space compressed around him in a big crunch and he died, he was then woken by an explosion of light, heat, and the expansion of new space-time.

He would spend the next few billion years in the same cycle of resurrecting then dying as he floated through space, until amazingly he found himself on earth once again as it coalesced out of space-dust. His last hope was that he could live until the point that his past self would interact with the mysterious harlequinn and stop it, hopefully paradoxing himself out of existence.

Unfortunately, the mysterious being never appeared again, in any subsequent repeat of the universe, and even killing his past self was not enough to kill him. He also realised that the reason he always seemed to end up on earth was because his life, had in essence become a loop, with him repeating the same (or at least similar) key actions (or at least being in the smae place) in each universe, no matter how hard he tried to go elsewhere. Ewigkeit had truly become "Eternity".

Eventually however, he would meet Lucas Arden, a being who he had never before encountered in any iteration of the universe, and upon realising what Lucas was, set out to provoke Lucas into killing him, believing Lucas alone could end his suffering once and for all.

Powers and Stats
Tier:

Name: Ewigkeit

Origin: The Black Pillars (Verse)

Gender: Male

Age: Unknown (when asked how long he had lived for, he said he had stopped counting how many iterations of the universe he lived through after he reached the 20 digit mark)

Classification: "Blessed" Human, Narrator

Powers and Abilities: Immortality (Type 4), possibly Time-Travel or Time Reversal (whenever the universe reaches its end point, he finds himself back at the start of its big bang), Resurrection (Mid-Godly, possibly High-Godly depending on the mechanics of how he resurrects from Big Crunches. The resurrection fully restores all aspects of his being, undoing effects such as mind manipulation and restoring destroyed souls), psuedo-Precognition (due to having lived through the universe so many times over, he can essentially predict what is going to happen next), psuedo-Resistance to Fate Manipulation (much of his fate is already laid before him, and even the interference from beings outside fate who can change it through their actions is not enough to entirely stop his course)
