Alterants (Paradigm-8)

Alterants are a group of former Architects who took physical form and chose to work more closely with the physical aspects of the universe.

History
"It is our duty to create the perfect universe. We are like the Architects, but we are more. They can control galaxies and planets, we can control people and atoms. It may take us billions of years, but we have lived for an eternity. In comparison, this is but days worth of labour."

- Atum

Origins
Around a billion years after the Creator Coding brought life to the universe, life throughout the universe had evolved to become much more complex. Architects who were tired of a consciousness-based life took physical form, a large number hiding among the new life forms forming. A small group, however, chose to create forms they found pleasing, and an even smaller amount chose to continue their work altering the universe, except from a more close-up perspective that allowed them to make more intricate changes. They came to call themselves the Alterants, and spread themselves across the universe to cover more ground.
