Redstone

He was the first one the Mind sensed.

A solitary outcast, rejected by his own people, the messages of the Red Giant were nothing short of a religious revelation.

At first, its voice came to him only in dreams—not as words, but as a feeling that he was not alone.

Over time, those messages began to take the form of words.

They told him that he was awaited somewhere above. That a being wished for his help—a being that, to the Giant, was indistinguishable from a god, both then and ever after.

Slowly, he began following the instructions.

Deep within the heart of a mountain, he constructed what was being sent into his mind from an unknown place.

Years passed, but eventually the Giant completed the first portal—the bridge between Numinous and the host universe.

Not long afterward, he was taken to that hidden place. There, bathed in golden light, he fell to his knees before a holographic figure of the same color.

The figure was accompanied by a sphere.

It was there that the first Fusion in the history of Numinous was performed, creating its most loyal and powerful soldier.

What substance S.U.N. used remains unknown to this day.

Redstone never questioned the Mind, nor did he ever doubt its intentions.

Alone, he constructed hundreds of portals.

He informed the Mind's chosen that a place was calling for them, because the Mind told him that contacting beings in this universe required too much energy.

Of all those who contributed to the creation of the extraordinary system that Numinous would become, none played a greater role than the Red Giant.
