Abstractil deeply cared for Conceptilum as if he were her own child and in spite of him being substantially weaker than most of the Council members, was supportive of having him around to the end. Abstractil’s respect for Conceptilum was mutual, Conceptilum loved Abstractil as if she were his own mother and would willingly help her with management and entity creaction. Abstractil would eventually make the decision to uplift Conceptilum to omnipotence^3 for him to keep up with the other Council members more easily.

Abstractil consciously made the choice not to uplift Matharin alongside Conceptilum. Though she says that her reasoning was that Matharin’s omniscience^3 abilities allowed her to keep up with the omnipotent^3 entities easily in spite of her lack of strength, Abstractil knew that Matharin’s tendency to quickly make rash, impulsive, and irrational decisions that she would later regret would not be a particularly nice thing to have alongside any greater power than she already possessed. Matharin was fine with Abstractil’s choice and was willing to provide her with the prerequisite knowledge needed to make the uplift. Matharin respected Abstractil and was willing to help her with tasks but is not particularly fond of some of her practices.

Abstractil’s perspective on mortals was somewhat of a balance between those of her honourary omnipotent^1-entity-creating grandchildren. Some inherently harmful entities may deserve erasure so they would not cause any harm and imbalance in the future, but entities in general do deserve some level of respect. Abstractil found it unwise to impulsively erase mortal entities or grow too overly attached and protective of them.

Abstractil scarcely interacted with Paradoxus and Logixel as she had to comply with Xenixel’s orders of maintaining Beyond bubble stability over anything else. In the rare instances where she did, she would try to console them and provide them useful advice for being a Council member. Whether or not Abstractil would be proud of them now is up for debate.

Unlike Empiroxus, Matharin, and Conceptilum, who were quick to take a disliking to Peralitus—mocking him and his sycophantic practices behind his back whenever they could, Abstractil had tried her best to give Peralitus the benefit of the doubt when he made questionable decisions and tried to help the inexperienced SuperGod manage Beyond the best he could. Abstractil disliked Peralitus’ ambition and fixation on appealing to authority. She had tried to coax him out of it to little avail. Peralitus seemed to respect the older, frailer SuperGod in return and found her agreeable, though in reality he often misinterprets and twists her statements into statements he personally agreed with. Abstractil eventually gave up trying to reason with him and her opinion of the young Council member started to align more and more with her close contemporaries the more she interacted with him.

Abstractil would strongly disagree with Xenixel’s decision to exile Peralitus. The way she saw the situation, Peralitus’ inexperience must have got the better of him and anyone in his position could have made the same mistake. In her opinion, exiling him was far too harsh a punishment to begin with and considering that the collapse was due to occur, Peralitus essentially got a death sentence for making a mistake that was not his fault. However, she knew that arguing with Xenixel would be no use and she let Peralitus get exiled. In Peralitus’ absence, Abstractil felt guilty for the exile and wondered what she could have done differently regarding treating Peralitus in order for it to never have happened. She would then feel far worse when Peralitus eventually slaughtered Matharin and Empiroxus and blamed herself for their deaths. If things had gone differently between her and Peralitus, Empiroxus and Matharin would probably be still alive and aiding with protecting Beyond. In the midst of the collapse, she tried to retrieve the trosinium Empiroxus was meant to retrieve. This was met with success, however, she was gravely injured when some of her constituent verses got corrupted and left dangerous to make contact with.

After providing the trosinium to Conceptilum and waiting for the collapse to end, she made the reluctant decisions to distance herself from the Council to not cause any damage, leave her honourary son as leader, and to die in peace—reuniting her with her friends Empiroxus and Matharin. As a result, she would never properly meet and interact with the newly hatched Unthil and never meet the SuperGods yet to hatch. Conceptilum hated Abstractil’s choice to leave and desperately wanted her to be the Council’s new leader—Abstractil actually had the leadership qualities that he did not have. As soon as Conceptilum and his children set to hard work rebuilding the Council, Abstractil left to search for the corrupted remains of Empiroxus within Hellensoerensen and use them to help her pass. Abstractil had complete and total faith in the new Council to rebuild Beyond—she had no doubts that her son Conceptilum would make a better leader than Xenixel would ever be, Paradoxus and Logixel would greatly help restore Beyond’s stability, and Conceptilum’s recently hatched omniscient^3 son would grow up to be an excellent advisor that would use his powers more wisely than the omniscient^3s she knew. Abstractil hoped that Conceptilum’s to-be hatched children would grow to be smart, clever SuperGods who could be beneficial to their home’s stability.

Empiroxus

Empiroxus was a member of the Original Council. He was a partner to Abstractil and possessed the abilities omnipotence^3 and omniscience^2. Empiroxus was mainly a traveler and was primarily responsible for retrieving many of the Council's resources, some of which are still extant and used in the Council's Beyond bubble in the present.

Empiroxus and Abstractil have had a close relationship that has been maintained for much of their history. In contrast to Abstractil's tranquil and benign nature, Empiroxus was more bold and a headstrong adventurer. If any SuperGods tried to do or get him to do tasks he thought were in the wrong such as bringing unnecessary harm to lesser entities or take resources from the less fortunate, Empiroxus would do his best to stand up for what he saw was right and try to set things straight. Empiroxus is keen having tasks done "his way" and gets somewhat upset when others stray from it. However, much unlike the Council's leader Xenixel, Empiroxus was very willing to give the benefit of the doubt to those who made mistakes unintentionally such as Matharin and Conceptilum. Often, this had led to him telling long-winded and typically slightly inaccurate stories about his history where he learned some important life lesson, much to the awe of Conceptilum and annoyance of Matharin. Eventually, Matharin would point out to Empiroxus that telling tall tales was an ineffective way of getting messages across to entities that meant harm—revenge and counterattacking those who hurt her loved ones seemed like a much more satisfactory option that would make messages far clearer than stories with no obvious message to even her omniscient^3 mind. Empiroxus eventually would no longer comment on Matharin's opinion and say nothing to her. In his opinion, Matharin was in the wrong but she did not realize that she was. Matharin had never experienced the harm that vengeance can potentially inflict, and hopefully she never would. Empiroxus places the safety and well-being of his close friends and family before himself and was more than willing to take risks and get hurt if it meant that they would carry on.

Xenixel greatly despised Empiroxus at first, as Empiroxus's ideals seemed virtually incompatible with his own. In Xenixel's opinion, Empiroxus would most certainly lead the Council to imminent disrepair if he truly had things his way. However, when Empiroxus's strategies proved incredibly beneficial to the stability of Beyond, Xenixel grew more trusting of Empiroxus and eventually came to fully entrust him with resource collection. Empiroxus found life in the safety of the Council's large and stable beyond bubble to be comforting—a relaxing change of pace from the more persistently hostile environment of his former home. Empiroxus did love a good adventure, but every now and then some relaxation was needed to relieve himself of the stress adventure can bring. However, the largest flaw with his new life, though, was Xenixel's consistently improper behaviour and stubborn refusal to change.

Once when Empiroxus was tasked to gather some Staterium, he was questioned by his former allies as to why he decided to move to the bubble. In response, Empiroxus had told them that life was overall better for him and Abstractil in Xenixel's Beyond bubble. If life there was really so great, some would retaliate, why shouldn't anyone be allowed to experience life there? Empiroxus believed in serving others before himself, so he should allow said others to have the benefits. Did arbitrarily high strength matter that much? Why should Xenixel even stay in charge? Just overthrow him, let Abstractil in charge and allow everyone to enter the bubble and live a life as good as he does. Empiroxus began to grow very uncomfortable with the crowds of omnipotent^2 beings—what he saw as their selfishness was not right, but the SuperGods really did have a point and their anger at him was justified. Xenixel was not a leader many were fond of, and it would be ideal for him to step down—overthrowing him was not possible as Xenixel was more than capable of vanquishing both Empiroxus and Abstractil if he desired. More SuperGods should be knowledgeable about the labyrinthine tunnels and other SuperGod entrance preventive measures set by the Least Guardians who lived in the bubble before that only the Council members currently knew how to properly maneuver. In moments like that, he wished that he could quickly come up with an excellent solution and reason with others as well as Abstractil often did. Empiroxus's bold and confident personality around those entities began to crumble before him.
