The Bull: The second most feared and probably the straightforward of the Ancients, the Bull takes the form of, well, a burning bull. The Bull speaks with a harrowing and monstrous growl that just bleeds anger, the Bull is created and powered by the rage of several universes - and there's a lot to be angry about. However, the Bull is mistaken as mindless or even foolish, when it is quite intelligent and perceptive and has a sense of justice. The Bull is the least likely to interact with people unless they have great rage in their hearts. The Bull serves a vital role in the glorious cycle as he destroys worlds without sentient life and rebuilds them, and paves the way for the Deer and the Dove. Physically, the Bull is the most powerful with the ability to manipulate all energy and matter and even destroy and create universes.
The Deer: The cheerful and ecstatic Ancient of Green Lux and Biology, she takes the form of a green deer covered in plant-life. However, the Deer is the one Ancient most likely to assume a human form as she feels a closer bond to the humans. The Deer is the second most important in the glorious cycle, as after the Bull creates new worlds she propagates them with life. The Deer is very maternal and motherly to the humans, as she is the one that created them after all, and she is most likely the most helpful and selfless out of the Ancients... however, she still operates off of strange logic and sometimes her brand of helping isn't helping. However, the Deer is a very rare sight, as she's more inclined to visit universes that are devoid of life and fix that. The Deer is physically the weakest of the Ancients but she is still all-powerful.
The Dove: The sensual and loving Ancient of the Pink Lux and Emotions and the Soul, the Dove takes the appearance of a bird that constantly changes from one shade of pink to the other. The Dove is the third step in the Glorious Cycle, as after the Deer creates life, the Dove comes into new universes and decides who is given sentience. Most likely, the Dove is the second most powerful of the Ancients due to her ability to grant minds to even inanimate objects... and take them away. The Dove is kind and loving, as her Lux implies, but she is ruthless and unforgiving towards those who betray love. She's more likely to get involved in the affairs of humans, as she's the one that tends to stick to them.
The Hound: The strange and mysterious Ancient of black Lux and Death, but takes the shape of a black wolf as both a form that people can comprehend. The Hound is ancient and anyone who has more than the barest experience with the Extra-Normal should know about him. The Hound is there when people die and he leads them to the other side, the Extra-Normal can comprehend him. The Hound cannot be defeated through conventional or Extra-Normal means, but he's restricted by laws that stop him from taking souls... which he can circumvent by making deals, which are known to be in his favor most of the time. When the Hound speaks he is quite sarcastic, however, despite the insurmountable power, the Hound willingly holds back to make things interesting for him. The Hound is the final step in the Glorious Cycle, which is death.
The Mustang: The all-seeing and knowledgeable Ancient of Cyan Lux and Sight, takes the shape of a transparent glowing-cyan horse (like the outlines). The Mustang's purpose in the Cycle is that he's the recordkeeper of the universe, he has the ability to see everything that goes on in the particular universe that he's in. He can see into the past like it's nothing and he preserves their memory. The Mustang's secondary purpose is that he's meant to be a watchdog, with his abstraction he's supposed to detect any intrusions and then alert the other Ancients. Because of this ability, the Mustang is quite smug, arrogant, and condescending towards mortals as he can see all. However, because of this, he is the easiest of the Ancients to fool and deceive. The Mustang is usually seen in dead or dying worlds before the Bull shows up.
The Spider: The fearsome and invincible Ancient of Yellow Lux and Protection and Stealth, usually takes the shape of a glowing yellow spider with massive legs. The Spider's ability is to weave webs that are invincible even to attacks from other Ancients and control what is visible and what isn't. The Spider's role is to protect universes and reinforce the dimensional barriers of reality and unreality to keep threats out. The Spider travels from one world to another, detecting which world's barriers are failing and requires his attention. The Spider is sporadic in how much he makes himself known to the humans, but he rarely has time to stop.
The Butterfly: The aspiring and kind Ancient of the Lavender Lux and the Strengthening and Purification, the butterfly takes the appearance of a massive glowing butterfly with everchanging colors. The Butterfly's role is the protection of the All-Verse against the various eldritch horrors that wait on the other side. Specifically, stopping any humans from attempting to harness their power and make pacts with them. The Butterfly rarely moves and just waits for an invasion or an attack from such being and battles them. The Butterfly may seem weak, but they can enhance their other abilities for a short period of time until they are the strongest among the Ancients. They can also gift other Ancients and Extra-Normal beings a bit of this power, but their most useful ability is the ability to purify curses and corruption from the other side.
The Lion: The prideful and powerful Ancient of the Golden Lux, and Summoning and Minion-Creation, takes the appearance of a golden cloudy Lion. The Lion is, like the Butterfly, responsible for the protection of the All-Verse against the threats beyond. However, the Lion is still resting and has yet to be awakened from his slumber. He's still regenerating from the battle against the Glutton, but if someone prods him he will definitely wake up. The Lion is prideful, but magnanimous to all and will gladly lend his assistance... if it lines up with his goals.
The Tiger: The courageous and powerful Ancient of the Orange Lux, and Imbuing lux, takes the form of a black and orange glowing tiger. The Tiger is probably the most important Ancient as he's the de facto leader of them and their rule keeper. The one Ancient that keeps the rest of his brethren in line and following their laws in regards to interfering in the affairs of the mortals as little as possible. In the event that one of them goes too far or breaks their laws, he will appear to punish them. The Tiger can imbue his claws with the ability to completely bypass their emotional fields and shred them to bits.
The Owl: The free and expectant Ancient of the Purple Lux and Movement, takes the form of a giant purple Owl. She has the role in the cycle of maintaining the connections between every universe and maintaining each of them. The Owl is the one that makes sure that the universes are separate like they are supposed to be. If she is inactive or injured the barriers will begin to falter and the universes will begin to bleed together and become unstable. The Owl is kind, hopeful, but constantly busy and keeps out of the affairs of the humans. Not even to make deals.
The Swan: The tearful and melancholy Ancient of the Blue Lux, and Curses, takes the appearance of a beautiful blue swan. The Swan is the one that keeps an eye out for any Extra-Normal interference in the emotional balance of the Multiverse and if she detects it, she goes to correct it. The Swan is most likely the most important of the Ancients, but she's rarely seen unless there is an imbalance due to magic. If there is none, she goes to uninhabited universes and waits. The Swan takes the sadness of the entire All-verse inside of her and uses it to power herself. The Swan is particularly the most vicious and ruthless of the Ancients when dealing with the affairs of the humans and punishes sorrow bringers severely.
