Complications:
Hiding in Fear for His Life
His Reach Has Always Surpassed His Grasp
Even an imperiex can be TOO ambitious. Jax learnt this the hard way...
Utterly Humiliated in Front of the Other Imperiex
The Great Catastrophe was, to a VERY large extent, caused by Jax. He failed so utterly in his mission that the other imperiex have all turned their backs on Jax.
Quote: ”This...setback...is only temporary—-and’s due solely to the machinations of others; for I am blameless!”
—-/>_-This is a completed Jax the Sleeping King build.
Jax’s real name is Jason Arnaut. Jax only speaks English, but
his English sounds
very different to 21st Century English, thanks to centuries of linguistic drift.
Jax’s relationships with his fellow imperiex are all toxic, to one degree or another, mirroring the Sleeping King’s own toxic attitudes towards
everyone.
* * * *Earth-A’s imperiex, Earthstone, is considered by Jax to be a perpetual source of aggravation.
* * * *Jax deeply regrets how his relationship with the Dream Moth oF Earth-B ended so badly. But Jax refuses to apologize, letting pride bar the way to reconciliation.
* * * *Jax detests Earth-C’s
the Bull of Heaven as a cosmic failure.
* * * *Earth-E’s
the Spiralhorns is seen by Jax as the equivalent of giving a schizophrenic infinite power, and has never treated the Spiralhorns as an equal, always disdaining him openly.
* * * *
The Dancer at the Gates—-the Earth-H imperiex—-was once deeply respected by Jax, but Jax now hates the ancient arhat for not intervening (conveniently ignoring
why the Dancer at the Gates can’t intrude).
* * * *Jax sees
the King of Billions of Wings—-the imperiex of Earth-J—-as a danger (to reality itself) in need of elimination.
* * * *Jax hates Earth-K’s
the Ogrefather, as the Ogrefather’s conquest ended successfully, while Jax’s conquest ended in utter disaster.
* * * *Jax wants to murder
the Horror That Walks on Teeth and take its power, becoming imperiex of two parallel-Earths, Earth-L and Earth-V.
* * * *Jax has already treated
the Spidergoddess (the imperiex of Earth-S) as lowborn trash, and that is unlikely to ever change.
* * * *Jax views Enginseer Ka of Earth-U as a petty imitation of true godhood.
* * * *Comparing Jax to Earth-Z’s UniverseSpore is one of the few days to
guarantee with explode into violent action.
* * * *Jax abhors the Solar Lion, falsely attributing of his own failures to the Imperial Sun.
His Mandragora Minions,
Botz:
Theme Song:
PL6/15pp. (Robotic Mandragora minions of Jax the Sleeping King [evil].)

Protection 6. [6pp.]
Strike 6 (cutting-saw; Flaws: Limited [lethal damage only]). [3pp.] —- [14pp.]
Drawbacks: Hibernation (-5pp; for every day a Bot is awake it must hibernate for one full week immediately thereafter), Vulnerability (-5pp; massive weakness vs magnetic effects), Weakness (-2pp; strong vulnerability to the Datalink power), Weakness (-2pp; strong vulnerability to the Machine Animation power).
Complications:
Extremely Lethargic
Our processing power and cognitive attributes are immensely diminished. Simply being awake puts strain on our systems. The Mesh should’ve been up by now. What has gone wrong? Best to hibernate until we are rescued.
Raging Hatred for the Sunsphinx
Why did greatercousins not come to our rescue? Why have greatercousins ignored our pleas for aid? This is clearly a betrayal...of the worst kind.
Their Loyalty to Jax Has Lessened Over Time
Masters do not fail, yet our Master has failed. This is a contradiction. Is our Master truly our proper appointed Master?
Quote: ”Our situation is dire. We are officially requesting aid from Veiledwatch. We are in dire need of Mesh access and planetary skynode repair. Please come in, Veiledwatch.”

Godmesh Icons: Insubstantial 4 (Extras: Duration [continuous]; Flaws: Noticeable [Icons resemble extremely brightly glowing Tron characters and’re surrounded by a constant loud hum], Permanent; Drawbacks: Power Loss [-2pp; imperiex can affect Icons normally]). [10pp.]
Drawbacks: Disability (-2pp; their original bodies are dependent of lifesupport mechanisms to survive, though their bodies
are cleverly hidden from view), Normal Identity (-3pp; returned to their original bodies if the local Godmeshgrid suffers shutdown), Vulnerability (-5pp; catastrophically weak against ‘Electromagnetic Pulse’ descriptor effects).
Complications:
Cannot Fight, Even to Defend Themselves
—-/>_-This is a completed Godmesh icon build.
This is Jax, the idiot tyrant whose inability to restrain himself led to the ruination of his entire universe.
The Datasphere and the Godmesh bear superficial similarities, but the differences are actually quite deep:
The Datasphere is a VR’overlay’ on top of mundane reality, a sort of suite of ‘added data’ that only others connected to the Datasphere can access—-or even be affected by. Jax’s Datasphere Powers can ONLY be used on OTHERS also hooked into the Datasphere!
The Godmesh, while it looks like virtual reality, is actually just an astral Resonance radically reformatted by pre-Catastrophe tech. Physically entering the Godmesh is possible, and it can be FORCIBLY applied to even those from OUTSIDE Earth-V.
‘Skynodes’ are transmitter-towers for both the Datasphere AND the Godmesh. In the Catastrophe, 99% of all skynodes ceased functioning. The 1% that remain simply cannot handle the strain certain of Jax’s powers put on them—-causing apocalyptic burnout, after only a few uses. As Jax can’t repair skynodes—-he never bothered to learn, a choice he now deeply regrets—-his immense powers are doomed to a slow-but-inevitable decay to powerlessness.
