Drifter

<-- Back to Sophonts Drifter is the collective term for a number of sophont races that exist as form-shifting daemon-like entities in the AEther. Drifters are, in simple terms, ultra-powerful multiversal nomads. They exist outside the limits of universal physics and travel across Eternity, hopping in and out of its branches at whim. Some "clans" of Drifters have taken to harvesting dead universes -that is, collecting all the heavy elements from universes that have gone through the end of their habitable lifespans- and transporting the spoils to their chosen/built Haven.

Drifters are the end state of all successful sophont species, being literal gods. In fact, thanks to Drifters being daemonic entities that have transcended the limits of spacetime and physics, it is possible for a developing sophont species to encounter their final Drifter state (though they will never realize this unless they are explicitly told so, as Drifters have no true physical form).
