Omega Mode

(also known as Ω Mode)

Omega Mode is a phenomenon resulting from "Contact" between an Omega-Class Entity in Space-Time Six, and their Avatar in lower-dimensional spacetime. The phenomenon is driven by the production of tachyon waves, which propagate backward in time. This violates causality, creating a short but infinitely-looping snarl in the fabric of spacetime. At these critical levels of spacetime stress, reality "snaps" across the snarl, creating a moment parallel to it. Observers see only the parallel moment, in which the Avatar is temporarily granted enormous levels of energy and paranormal powers by the effects of the time loop.

In order to initiate Contact, the Omega must have a clear path from Space-Time Six into the lower dimension. The path is typically created by the departure of the Avatar's original soul from its body at the moment of death.

Once Omega Mode passes, the Avatar is considered to be Omega State, from then until their Omega departs them. At that time they become Code Samson.

Powers

 * When an Avatar enters Omega Mode, their body is resurrected and transformed into an immortal state. While in Omega Mode, the body cannot be damaged. Afterward, the body can be damaged but will heal quickly. Fatal damage will trigger another Omega Mode in self-defense.
 * For a short time, the Avatar's physical capabilities vastly increase, and stamina is unlimited.
 * If the Avatar has access to energetic abilities, the power thereof is vastly increased, and energy reserves are unlimited.
 * The Avatar may be granted knowledge possessed by their Omega, though due to the Omegas' reversed temporal perspective, knowledge of the future may not be entirely accurate (i.e. changes to the future caused by their acting on the past are beyond their sight).
 * Because Omegas are transcendent beings, they may also grant their Avatar a measure of awareness as to the nature of their fictional setting, including plot elements, narration, and even gameplay mechanics where applicable.
 * Until the Omega leaves the Avatar, they exist in Omega State, with all the powers and privileges thereof.
 * Even Code Samson Avatars are unusually durable and powerful. The only sure way to kill one is the complete destruction of their body with overwhelming force (e.g. crushed to pulp or nuked from orbit).
