Character Profile 8: Those-Who-Absorb-All

This is 8th in a series of posts that will look at histories of recurring (or not) characters in my writing. It takes a look at the only alien race I've created so far rather than an individual.

The alien race in question, Those-Who-Absorb-All, only has one appearance in my fiction, The Last Stop, but they have a major role in the Disturbance Timeline overall. There's little lore on their background in The Last Stop. The scenes that feature any of them, of which the water tower operator He-Who-Pushes-Buttons-Quickly is the main character from their species, are from their POV and they're dealing with immediate events. Therefore, a lot of this profile will be information from personal notes and the Disturbance Timeline itself.

Those-Who-Absorb-All enter the Disturbance Timeline in 3633. This is ~500 years after humans have 'died off' in the Solar System due to poisoned food products as far as the 'history' is concerned (it was actually a mad scientist turned mass killer who literally kills all of humanity in the Solar System which will be detailed in a short story, eventually). It is also ~500 years before The Ship and the Protectors arrive at The Last Stop and Those-Who-Absorb-All enter the fictional narrative. See profile #5 or the timeline on my website for reference.
