Editing Ascendant

[[File: Wiki Navy.png|right]]
[[Ascendant|Ascendant Sophonts]] are the most advanced intelligent [[lifeform]] conjectured to exist before the advent of the [[Singularity]].
* They are conjectured to be a supremely advanced form of [[life]] possessing [[TL:31-33]] [[technology]].
* They have nearly reached the [[Singularity]] and the [[PTP]]. 
* Some think that [[Grandfather]] and his [[society]], the [[Yaskoydrin]], might have reached this level. 
* Some call such beings ''Elder Races.''
== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==
[[Ascendant]]s are strange, impossibly advanced beings. They have fewer ties to the corporeal world than the vast majority of [[sophont]]s and are often embroiled in philosophical pursuits unknown to others. They can traverse time and space, travel to new worlds, stars, existences, times, and even universes. Heck, they can build new universes. And, yet they don't know everything despite their vast power. And the [[singularity]] and an existence beyond [[technology]] beckon to them...  

Their technology is known as [[Omni-Tech]] and are bhodhisattivan technologies with a polytemporal, trans-dimensional scope. They are known as Kardaschev Type 5 Societies with Polyuniversal Mastery.

=== Cycle of Life & Sophontic Civilization ===
* [[A-life]] → [[Proto-Life]] → [[Creature]]s → [[Proto-Sophont]]s → [[Sophont]]s → [[Transcendent]]s → [[Ascendant]]s → [[Singularity]]

Stages:
# [[A-life]] 
# [[Proto-Life]] (transitory stage)
# [[Creature]]s 
# [[Proto-Sophont]]s (transitory stage) 
# [[Sophont]]s 
# [[Transcendent]]s (transitory stage)
# [[Ascendant]]s 
# [[Singularity]]

== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
Many call these hypothetical beings ''Elder Races'' as they are near impossible for earlier societies to understand. Their ability to transverse nearly any obstacle of time or space truly makes them masters of the [[Omni Period]], effectively a near omnipotential society.

The ability to create and manipulate pocket universes infinitely expands available resources and turns all but the most adventurous inward. [[Time Travel]] heralds the [[Singularity]]. Technological existence is forever transformed. Multiple possible existences motivates [[sophont]]s to seek existence beyond [[technology]].

=== Ascendant Artifacts ===
Ascendant artifacts are considered to be impossibly advanced omnipotential objects, in the [[TL:31-33]] range. They might not be recognizable as tangible or corporeal objects and are known as [[Omni-Tech]].
