Schematus's strange obsession with uncovering his past means he very rarely if at all interacts with or speaks to his fellow Supergods. The only one he has any kind of actual relationship with is Abnull. Abnull greatly respects Schematus and considers him the most competent Supergod in the Bubble, though she wishes he would put his amazing intelligence to better use. Schematus neither appreciates nor dislikes Abnull's support, though he's significantly more annoyed by Positev's blind support, which he suspects to be completely disingenuous and merely an attempt to disagree with Negatil.


Schematus's only interactions with Monopolum and Binauris are studying their strange conditions as part of his experiments and often forgets Peralitus exists entirely. Abnull is amazed by his ability to ignore Peralitus, which she considers to be more impressive than any of his experiments and deeply wishes she could learn such a skill.


Strangely, Schematus has significantly fewer memories of his life before the Calamity compared to the others, and is especially lacking in memories related to the deceased Supergod Barelitil. Nobody is quite sure why, though Schematus has done an uncountably infinite amount of research into this detail regardless.


Abnull

Abnull is a horribly deformed and nihilistic but caring and pragmatic Supergod who is the closest thing her Beyond Bubble has to a leader. Abnull was literally torn apart during the calamity, leaving her Godsmoke broken and jagged. Strangely, most Supergods in this state (such as Empiroxus) would quickly fade from existence, however Abnull has remained completely stable for as long as she can remember. Nobody, including herself, is quite sure why.


Unlike Schematus, Abnull really doesn't care at all what happened to her or her Beyond Bubble, and prefers to focus on the present. Abnull spends much of her metatime caring for Monopolum and Binauris, the Supergods most badly damaged by the calamity. (With the exception of Barelitil of course.) Alongside helping them, Abnull is effectively the only one who makes any attempt to maintain the stability of their Beyond Bubble, despite being almost certain the Broken Supergods are doomed to succumb to their circumstances very soon indeed.


Abnull is classed as an Omnipotent^2 and Omniscient^2 on the Omnipotence Hierarchy, however her Omnipotence is highly irregular, presumably due to her physical deformities. Abnull is physically very vulnerable, more so than even Supergods such as Unthil, and many weak attacks from other Supergods could likely kill her. Despite this, she has insanely high attack potency for an Omnipotent^2 and could likely put up a serious fight against some weaker Omnipotent^3 Supergods. Engaging in any form of combat whatsoever for her is a very dangerous balancing act.


Abnull is generally pretty good at coping with her awful circumstances, mostly through how little she cares about them anymore. To her, their situation is so hopeless anyway that the best she can do is make things enjoyable while it lasts. Thus, she is able to remain positive by basically just ruling out the possibility of anything good happening.


Abnull bases a lot of her external personality traits on what will best help the other Supergods. She is much more upfront about her negative outlook when talking to Schematus than when talking to Binauris, for example. Despite viewing herself as the leader, she doesn't have a particularly high opinion of herself and actually considers Schematus the most competent of them, though she is very openly critical of his priorities. (At least, whenever Binauris isn't in earshot.)
