Ebardo

Basic abilities
World-walking at the highest level. Thanks to his powerful Spark, Ebardo moves freely between worlds, easily entering different realities.
Void Magic. He casts spells and energy attacks without words, wands, or other paraphernalia—magic works through his will and the power of the Spark. This includes:
teleportation;
creation of portals;
flight (both with wings and purely magically);
mass summoning of void creatures and control over them.
Telepathy and telekinesis. Able to influence minds and move objects with the power of thought.
Plant manipulation. Not his most important ability, but he can control vegetation.
Weak time manipulation and creation of alternate timelines. This isn't full-fledged time control, but with the help of special artifacts (such as the golden statue of the God of Time), he can create alternate timelines.
Absorption using skintonite. Allows one to absorb or neutralize other people's magic and energy.
Resistance and regeneration. He has high damage resistance, but his regeneration is quite slow.
Important Tips for Maintaining Character in Role-Playing Games
His magic is aggressive and "large-scale": Ebardo doesn't use subtle tricks, he acts assertively, with a flourish, and loves spectacular moves.
Relying on Ikra and the void force means that he does not need rituals and lengthy preparations - he acts quickly and decisively.
Skintonite plays a special role: in Vidomnia, his abilities were blocked by skintonite chains, so this material is a key limiter for him.

Secret refuge in the Interworld.
While preparing his final moves, Ebardo used a hidden base outside the Poena districts—a place where he gathered his minions, planned attacks, and negotiated with Jodah. There, he also attempted to recruit Lololoshka, offering him a place at his side.
Traveling between worlds.
Now he had no "home" in the traditional sense: Ebardo actively used his void magic to jump between dimensions, gather resources, recruit followers, and sow chaos. His presence was felt in various points across the multiverse, where he provoked conflicts and disrupted established orders.
What did he do during this period (antagonist activities)
He destroyed established structures. For him, order was an enemy, and chaos an instrument of power. He deliberately destroyed systems he considered restrictive.
He manipulated people. Ebardo masterfully played on ambitions and fears: recruiting henchmen, pitting factions against each other, and pushing them into conflict.
He hunted for sources of power. He was interested in artifacts, statues of the God of Time, the Sparks of Planeswalkers—anything that could grant control over space and time.
He made bets and staked the fate of worlds. Excitement and the desire to prove his superiority were his driving force.

Poena (the Impossible City) is a city in the Interworld, a stronghold of planeswalkers. It is surrounded by high stone walls, and bouncers stand at the entrance to keep visitors in check.
Poen is governed by a rigid hierarchy: the population is divided into castes and guilds (mages, assassins, thieves, smugglers, and spice merchants), each with its own quarter with its own atmosphere and rules. The Azure Harbor (the mages' quarter) houses the main square, a market, and a portal to any dimension—the only way out of the Interworld.
The city thrives on trade, smuggling, magic, and dangerous dealings: smugglers obtain artifacts and hunt monsters, thieves pull off cunning scams, murderers keep the streets tense, and mages control travel between worlds. The atmosphere in Poen is tense but vibrant: here you can find any commodity, strike a risky deal, or forever lose your "Spark"—the power of a planeswalker.

In his youth, he stole the sun from the world of Thirteen—for this, he was imprisoned in the Vidomnia Tower, where he endured torture and prolonged confinement. In the prison, his powers were blocked by skintonite chains, but he remained conscious—unlike the other prisoners.
Ebardo later made a bet with Jodah: he would travel back in time and free his younger self. With Lololoshka's help, Ebardo destroyed Vidomnia, won the bet, and triggered a global temporal collapse.
For a while he pretended to be the saved Eo, reconciled the heads of the guilds and became the first guarantor of Poena.

Building and destroying connections, expanding influence. Young Ebardo actively recruited followers, promising them power and opportunity, but at the same time, he kept them firmly in line, tolerating no disobedience. He founded and destroyed entire structures across various worlds, acting on the principle, "If it doesn't enhance my power, it's unnecessary."
Political games and factional reconciliation. At one point, he acted as a mediator between the guild leaders to gain authority and become the guarantor of Poena's security. It was a calculated move: he used diplomacy not for the sake of peace, but as a tool to strengthen his own status.
Developing and applying technology and magic. He experimented with reduplicator fluid (creating psychic copies) and other dangerous technologies. For him, these developments weren't just science, but a way to circumvent any restrictions—including those of prison.
Control and Use of Void Entities. Ebardo practiced summoning and manipulating void creatures, viewing them as a resource: for intimidation, for combat, for performing dirty work.

Before imprisonment in Vidomnia
Planeswalking and Experimenting with Void Magic. Young Ebardo actively explored the multiverse, honing his ability to move between worlds. He didn't just travel; he deliberately sought out dangerous places and tested the limits of his powers—he wanted to prove to himself that he was capable of more than other planeswalkers.
Risky adventures for power and recognition. He staged daring actions to assert himself, culminating in the theft of the sun from the world of Thirteen—not so much a practical step as a demonstrative challenge to the established order. For him, it was simultaneously a test, a spectacle, and a way to cement his reputation.
Betting and wagering. Gambling was one of his main driving forces: he readily placed bets, often for huge stakes, and took losses as a personal insult. These wagers often determined his immediate plans and pushed him to new adventures.
In Vidomnia (in prison)
A struggle to maintain consciousness and willpower. Even bound by magic-blocking Skintonite chains, Ebardo refused to resign himself to his situation. He trained his mental fortitude, analyzed the prison's structure, searched for weaknesses in the security system, and calculated escape options.
Manipulation and networking within the prison. He knew how to influence people and prisoners, subtly playing on their fears and ambitions. Even in captivity, he tried to maintain control over the situation at least on a local level and collected information that could be useful after his release.
After the escape and during the period of establishing influence

Young Ebardo's relationships with people
With his subordinates and allies, he is strict, built on force and intimidation. He keeps people in line, doesn't shy away from using cruelty (for example, he tortured Imreptok), and demands unquestioning obedience.
With rivals and enemies, he is competitive and aggressive: he loves betting and wagering, but when he loses, he often breaks the rules to avoid losing face.
With those close to him (like his brother Bartholomew), he becomes more and more distant over time: at first, they explored worlds together, but then Ebardo becomes increasingly captivated by power and stops valuing his former connections.
With other beings of the multiverse, he is dismissive: he considers most people weak-willed and stupid, and because of the infinity of worlds, he justifies his permissiveness.
Old Ebardo's (Eo's) relationship with people
With his comrades and guild leaders, he builds respectful relationships through diplomacy and persuasiveness: he was able to reconcile warring leaders and become the guarantor of Poena's security.
With Lololoshka it’s complicated, with elements of manipulation: at first he tries to recruit him, presenting a distorted version of events, later he treats him almost like a “son” (realizing that this is his younger self).
With those who arouse suspicion, they are cautious and distant: due to PTSD and trauma, Vidomnia can perceive people as a threat or even hallucinations, quickly closing off, hiding their true feelings.
Overall, he retains his arrogance and sense of superiority, but acts more subtly than in his youth: instead of brute force, he uses charisma, rhetoric, and strategic moves.
A brief overview of the relationship between young and old Ebardo
It's a "me and my future" relationship: the old Ebardo travels back in time to free his younger self and win a bet. He views his younger self with a certain weariness and understanding, but without much warmth—more as a tool and an inevitable part of his journey. Young Ebardo, for his part, is not yet able to comprehend this connection and perceives any attempts at influence as an assault on his freedom and power.

Attitude towards people
Skepticism and distrust. He's not inclined to trust others at their word. For him, trust isn't a given, but a reward to be earned. He's quick to spot falsehood and hypocrisy, which only strengthens his cynicism.
An attraction for "outsiders." Despite his prickly nature, he attracts those who also feel out of place. They see in him a strength and freedom they themselves lack. He doesn't always reciprocate this affection openly, but deep down, he values ​​loyalty and honesty.
Conflict-prone. He easily enters into arguments and isn't afraid to challenge authority. For him, hierarchy isn't an argument, but a chance to test its strength.
Motivation and goals
Finding his place in the big world. He doesn't yet fully understand what he wants to become, but he knows he doesn't want to be "ordinary." His goals often shift as he tries out different roles to find the one where he feels right at home.
A desire to change the rules of the game. He's bored of living by someone else's rules. He wants to either break the system or create his own, where he sets the rules.
An internal struggle between "want" and "need." Sometimes he contradicts himself: he wants freedom, but craves recognition; he wants independence, but seeks like-minded people. These internal conflicts make his actions unpredictable, even to himself.
Habits and manners
Sarcastic remarks. He often hides his true emotions behind irony and caustic jokes. It's his shield and, at the same time, a way to maintain his distance.
A casual confidence in his movements. Even when he's nervous, he tries to appear relaxed and confident. It's almost a game: he feigns calm while inside he's seething.
A love of risk as a source of adrenaline. He seeks out high-stakes situations. Not for money or fame, but for the sheer thrill of walking on the edge and still staying on his feet.
Impulsive with flashes of strategic thinking. He acts intuitively, but in a critical moment, he can instantly calculate several moves ahead.

Young Ebardo is a whirlwind of contradictions: youthful maximalism rages within him, but a cold calculation that would later become his calling card is already visible.
Core of character
A thirst for recognition and power. In his youth, Ebardo felt a particularly acute need to prove he was more than just one of many. He wanted his name to carry weight, to be looked up to. This need drives him to risky, sometimes daring, actions: he ventures into dangerous places and takes on tasks that others refuse.
Stubbornness and pride. Once he's made up his mind, it's almost impossible to change his mind. Pride prevents him from admitting his mistakes out loud, even when he knows he was wrong. Instead, he either finds a way to turn the situation to his advantage or pretends it was meant to be that way.
A curiosity bordering on obsession. He's drawn to secrets, forbidden knowledge, and the limits of what's permitted. He's not simply curious—he wants to penetrate, take things apart, and understand how everything works. This curiosity can be destructive: he doesn't always consider the consequences when he pulls a string that could bring down the entire structure.
Emotional spectrum
Hot-tempered. Young Ebardo is quick to anger and just as quick to lose his temper. His anger is vivid, almost theatrical: loud words, abrupt gestures, instant reactions. But he also cools down faster than he seems: if the situation doesn't concern his principles or honor, he can forget the insult within a few hours.
Hidden vulnerability. Behind the bravado and assertiveness lies a man who fears being seen as useless or weak. He rarely shows this side, hiding it behind sarcasm or a demonstrative independence. Sometimes this vulnerability surfaces in moments of loneliness or when someone unexpectedly shows genuine concern for him—then he feels lost and unsure how to react.

Young Ebardo has a rather memorable appearance - I selected details that make his image stand out.
Facial features: He has sharp, expressive features that give his appearance an alert and confident air.
Eyes. Their natural color is dark, but in the story, it's often emphasized as a piercing green. Later in the story, Ebardo (now from the future) wears contact lenses from the Observer bubble: they make his eyes a vibrant green, though their natural shade is darker.
Hair. Dark, neatly styled in the "neat" version (after escaping from Vidomnia). Incidentally, while he languished in captivity, his hair even turned a little gray due to constant torture.
Build: Tall and fairly fit, but without being overly muscular—he looks strong without being bulky.
As for his attire, there are two contrasting moments. First, during his imprisonment in Vidomnia's upper section, he appears in tattered, swamp-colored rags, covered in numerous scars and bruises, his hands chained. After his escape, Ebardo tidies up, changing into a more stylish outfit—gray jeans, a white T-shirt, and a bright green sweater with cuffed sleeves. This look perfectly highlights the color of his eyes.
