the universe

gods exist in the universe, but the majority of people aren't aware of their existence. the gods are beings made of energy and basically their energy can bestow power to people if they're touched by the energy, or the energy can be used in other ways. there are basically two main gods who have the power in the world; the god of chaos (phobos) and the god of order (harmonia) and together they create balance in the universe and multiverse, which is also a thing.

so the main story takes place in 1991, where some kids try to solve the mystery of their friend being literally erased out of existence. they are all touched by phobos' energy and each gain a unique power. they learn about the existence of gods and that this shady company is using phobos' energy to make deals with people to bring back their loved ones from death...

long story short, they go on this convoluted journey trying to do the right thing, but since they're kids, they're not aware of the consequences of their actions, and they disperse phobos, which ends up with australia and europe being wiped off the map, the multiverse being destroyed, leaving only their universe left, and no one being able to birth any children after november 12th, 1991.

30 years into the future, the last children on earth have grown up and become "the ascended" and they are trying to find phobos and restore balance to earth so that humanity will be saved.

biography.

tibby devin is a 15 year old, anxiety-filled kid who grew up in kollok with his mom, but never knew his father. all he ever learned about the man was that he was prone to anger, and lived somewhere in seattle. everyone born in kollok has their left index finger cut off as an infant, and no one really questions this as it has been the norm for a long time. an outsider, tibby had very few friends, that only being his best friend billy baker. after a girl name rachel jewell went missing, he became friends with other members of kollok high who was looking for her, namely mickey jones, skye hawkins, and rachel's boyfriend marcus bennett. billy baker had witnessed rachel's disappearance himself at 5am, seeing her being zipped out of existence by some creatures with zippers for faces, before they each woke up (with the exception of tibby himself) in their own beds, remembering seeing rachel floating above it, telling them to not forget what she said. their bed and themselves were covered in some kind of sticky liquid. after each of them tried to reach out for help to no avail, skye ended up getting sucked into a hole in the ground, which all of them with the exception of tibby, witnesses.

billy ended up telling tibby about what he experienced and about skye and rachel jewell, the latter whom tibby seemed to have no memories of. but he chose to believe billy. during lunch, tibby is asked by billy what he knows of the jewell family, and tibby explains that he's heard jacob jewell (rachel's father) has had a stick up his butt ever since "what happened to his family", not knowing exactly what that refers to. he is told to go do more research for them, and meanwhile the group goes to follow the leads left behind in rachel jewell's diary, which billy found left behind when she was taken. the group learns that rachel jewell now is known to have died in 1980 when she was 6 years old.

after a lot of investigation, the group eventually learns that rachel jewell's father had signed a contract with someplace called "the bank of mammon", to get his wife and two children (including rachel) back to life again, and that the price for this was a certain amount of pounds of flesh. they learn that synchroneity is the in-between in these contracts, offering the deals to some of the inhabitants of kollok. as it turns out, mammon uses energy from phobos, the god of chaos, to create these contracts, and people touched by phobos' energy gains unique powers. mickey, billy and marcus each have powers, meaning they've been touched by phobos' energy at some point. the group starts dubbing themselves as the "kollok radar" or simply the "radar".

during their investigation, the radar, once again with the exception of tibby, travel through the multiverse with the help of mickey jones, and end up discovering that when their egos are transferred to another body in another universe, the body they had been in previously, dies, meaning that they have killed themselves in multiple universes now, including their own. they learn that billy has the power to warp reality, and he makes it so that everyone remembers rachel again, before they each travel back to their own universe again, waking up in their deceased bodies in the morgue. however, skye took her hand away at the last second, leaving her behind in another universe named "undecided".

by this point, tibby has mourned his friends for days, so when they show up at his house, their bodies looking dead, he at first thinks he's hallucinating, before thinking they might be talking zombies. billy and the others explain everything that happened to them while they were investigating to catch tibby up to speed. it doesn't take long however, before the consequences of billy's actions start appearing on the horizon, quite literally, in the form of an approaching storm that they learn will possibly wipe out everyone in order to reveal the lies in the town. fearing what the storm will do, billy once again uses his powers to make kollok appear normal and make himself appear as a cool kid while he's at it. this makes practically everyone, except billy and his friends, forget the past five days.

the group bands together and manages to bring skye hawkins back to their universe again. marcus explains that he's been doing a work study with his parents who work at synchroneity. while there, he heard where "rachel" and "linny" are located and saw rachel's missing diary, which was seized by synchroneity. he saw someone take the diary down to a lower floor. he has arranged for a field trip to synchroneity. while there, he hopes to be able to figure some things out. however, their plan to gain more information goes awry, as the stone masons charge the facility, and using some kind of power, causes everyone who has nine fingers, and has been in contact with phobos, begin to glow, revealing the truth. tibby does not glow. during the chaos, the facility starts to fall apart, and tibby finds himself waking up in the hospital. there, his friend billy has noticed him healing quicker than normal. he reveals this information to tibby.

he discovers that he's able to heal living beings by taking the injury from them and transferring it to the same individual in a different universe. tibby also later figured out that he could reverse the process, taking any and all injuries from individuals in other universes and transfer them onto a target in his universe. however, each time he healed, he felt himself inflicting the injury, and felt the joy as he removed them when he caused harm. these conflicting feelings caused him an incredible distress, as he wished to use his powers to help people. though through encouragement from his friends, he decided to use them sparingly, and only when necessary.

in bringing skye hawkins back to her own body again, however, due to billy causing 5 days to be missing while she was gone, she ends up in the wrong time, and eventually snaps back to the "correct" timeline, causing a rift splitting their universe in two, creating the universe "prime a" (that continued on in the future as skye went back in time) and "prime b" (where skye ended up back in time). only tibby, mickey, and marcus bennett's prime a selves remained as billy had put himself in a coma, and skye snapped back in time. the three of them were all dying because of the overuse of their powers, and tibby grew so sick of it that even after losing an arm, he wouldn't heal himself. when he no longer wished to live or follow marcus’ mission to find rachel jewell, marcus decapitated tibby in front of mickey jones, before marcus eventually went insane and died himself.

in prime b, tibby was given a relaxing summer as they were able to save the town from destruction. during this time though, mallory jenkins used tibby to heal himself after self harming each time, seeking the rush it gave him without thought for the anguish it caused tibby, causing a strain on their relationship. during the tragedy at crater lake where everyone started to drown due to some sort of hallucination caused by the water, tibby began to hallucinate as well, thinking that his friends were injured. he placed his hands on mike hunt and "turned him into a human pretzel", as well as breaking laura bennett's arm, and killing a police officer. tibby was horrified by his actions, and was arrested by the police due to witnesses seeing him near michael hunt when he was injured. after the kollok radar broke him out of the police station, they headed to the hospital to try and heal mike. mike wasn't there, however, and as a last resort, tibby began healing people in the icu, trying to get his friends off scot free, but they weren't willing to let him take the fall for it. after this, they took tibby to the morgue to revive the police officer he killed, and inadvertently all his healing in front of others at the hospital began a religious cult where they believed tibby's powers were from god.

when the vfd banquet hall burned down after the mayoral debate, the kollok radar broke tibby out of his house, and away from the cultists that had been keeping him there. they headed down to the old law office, and eventually ran into mallory's mother, who wanted to keep them there in the dark with her forever. while attempting to escape her, tibby used his powers and caved in her face with his hands. he then collapsed, and the radar rushed to the grotto to save him. after speaking with phobos, tibby was pronounced healed. billy asked for his powers to be taken away, before meeting up with the other billys and destroying the grotto.

the group lost their powers, and life went generally back to normal, until cheese returned, and the radar was sent back through time. after returning home with the group from their time travel adventures, tibby began to have nightmares of a black rock that swallows everything. these nightmares would worsen as the time progressed, to the point that he asked to have himself committed into the hospital. tibby was brought to the defunct psychiatric hospital, and his mind was invaded by an individual known as doctor sweets. when he dreamt, tibby, as well as his friends who had come to help him, were drawn into the black rock. the encounter with doctor sweet and the black rock convinced him that if he slept again he would die, and thus, he avoided sleep, to the detriment of his health for almost four days.

seeing his health worsen, his friends insisted that he sleep, ignoring his claims that if he did he would die. laura, wanting tibby to recover, slipped some sleeping pills into his tea after an investigation into some of the things going on in the town. this forced him to finally sleep.

tibby has shown throughout the series to be the voice of reason and morality within the kollok radar, at first for billy baker, and then for much of the others, often referencing comic books (spider-man, x-men and superman to name a few). though tibby is moral and basically the most pure character within the group, he is not above violence, such as punching mallory in the nuts for repeatedly harming himself and gas lighting tibby into healing him. tibby would again attack mallory in "ghost highway" after mallory's selfish actions of jumping through a time hole lead to the group being separated from embeth back in 1940.
