About
Purrlin or "The Grandmaster", is an enigmatic higher being known to see the future, present, and past.
It has been summoned by both kings and commoners to seek its wisdom. The Grandmaster has been depicted throughout all of history, as far back as into the Stone Age.
"We know because we are. We were, and we will be."
Combat
Purrlin can manipulate reality and as such is practically untouchable.
It is a Celestial and immortal in every sense. Poison and disease do not affect it. Neither does time. Weapons don't work, either.
Even if there was a way to damage or destroy its physical form, it could simply create a new one.
It can change its speed as well or just disappear into thin air.
Additionally, if it really wanted to, it could obliterate things with the flick of a finger.
And it can probably do much worse.
Chrono-Scrying
Purrlin isn't fully omniscient, but has the ability to look into the past, present and future. In theory, it doesn't know something until it does.
Reality-Manipulator
Celestials who manipulate reality are said to be the most powerful and of the highest rank. Purrlin appears to mostly use it on itself, such as changing their mass. However, scriptures of past times tell of it annihilating entire mountains.
False Form
The Grandmaster's body is more likely just a vessel it has created to walk amongst mortals. It is not uncommon for Celestials to misinterpret and warp mortal concepts into absurdity, in a misguided attempt to appear a certain way.
Summoning
The Cherub is said to have been summoned by mortals since the very beginning of humanity. For this, a 'sacrifice of confectionery' must be made, which included just about anything sweet, like berries, as well as 'a truth unveiled to oneself'.
One must then 'dance in the patterns of the old ways' and repeadetly chant its full name. If it worked, The Cherub will not appear right away, but rather when it chooses to. It often does so when least expected, announced by the cry of a deep bell.
Personality
Purrlin doesn't show much of a personality. It may act on unknown motivators and goals.
STRANGE | MYSTICAL | NEUTRAL
Mortal affairs have it unbiased, uninvested beyond telling how things are, have been and will be.

Trivia
- Design is inspired by an idea of a plushie I had as a kid. (though not scary like this one)
- Purrlin can understand as well as be understood in any language. If you had two people who speak different languages in a room with it, it could understand both of them, and vice versa.
- "The Cherub" is a name that mortals have given it for the faint resemblance, while "The Grandmaster" has supposedly always been its title.
- Forthasmador-> Forth, Asma - supreme (arabic)
