(Timeline Tuesday #61)
Big Jorb is a powerful entity from a distant timeline. No other members of Big Jorb’s species have been encountered, so it is unknown if this creature exists as a singular being or if he is part of a larger animal group. Questioning Big Jorb on this directly has resulted in dire consequences.
This creature is small in size, no more than eight inches long. Big Jorb carries himself around on short, stubbly legs, which he uses to hold up a plump body that’s rounded on top and relatively flat on the bottom. Big Jorb’s eyes are enormous, taking up most of his face with brilliant, white orbs. The creature has puffy cheeks and is almost always wearing a frown to match his consistently poor mood. Big Jorb is soft yellow in hue, and his skin is similar to that of a human.
Few entities are more frightening than Big Jorb, thanks to this creature’s incredible power. It is unknown whether or not Big Jorb’s strength comes from a manipulation of timelines, or if he possesses some gift, akin to magic, that is simply beyond our understanding.
In a practical sense, Big Jorb has the abilities of a god, or a similarly powerful deity. There appears to be no limit to his capabilities, able to alter reality at will. It is believed that Big Jorb could wipe all life from this timeline with nothing more than a thought, but he has yet to use his powers on this scale. While the limits of Big Jorb’s capabilities are still up for debate, it does seem as though Big Jorb can instantly create any effect he desires across our timeline.
Because of his immediate cosmic might, most who encounter Big Jorb dedicate themselves to appeasing his every desire. Out of caution, Big Jorb is treated like royalty, waited on hand and foot despite the fact he could easily manifest anything he wanted. This entity prefers to be served, and relishes his time in the spotlight. Despite his small size, Big Jorb insists on being called “big”. Those who have simply called him “Jorb” in the past were promptly eliminated.
Big Jorb enjoys his position of power, and while he is often annoyed and grumpy, he’s also entertained by our existence. Fortunately for the citizens of this timeline, he has decided to keep us around.
