When he needs time to think he comes here, the abyss.
A hole in space and the only place where he can go no further.
He does not know what lies beyond the abyss.
There are 7 editions of this first illustration.
Every edition has it's own color (refresh this page to see them).
After giving up on directly influencing both sides
he decided that only a civilian protest
could end this war.
He started showing and telling students
at collage campuses what was happening.
This eventually resulted in enough political pressure,
resulting in the U.S. retreat from Vietnam.
Because even the peace agreement did not stop
the fighting made this another failed attempt
in the eyes of Observer.
He realized that the outcome of his actions
are unpredictable and this is one of the main reasons
why he has chosen not to intervene ever again unless
absolutely necessary.
Observer has seen many of humans best and
worst moments through history.
Mistakes were made, wars were fought and
successes were achieved.
He watched and he learned.
Even though he can go anywhere he wants in the blink
of an eye, he can not be everywhere at once.
The inability to help everyone, made Observer bitter
and he decided to stop trying.
But after a while that didn't feel right either.
Now he only interacts on a personal level unless
there is a global incident about to happen that
must be prevented.
He is without physical form but he can make
visual illusions.
That is how he interacts with humans now.
With images that seem absolutely real.
Observer has the ability to make you see something
completely different than what is actually there.
They remain illusions but can look very real.
The skill requires practice.
This is one of his first attempts at
environment manipulation.
Today he can make you see anything he wants
and you will never know it is an illusion,
unless he wants you to.
He started creating his own worlds with simple
stickmen that lived on them.
Very many different types were created and he let them
interact with each other on their own.
They are now able to detect him and catch him on
camera, even when he is invisible to the naked eye.
How will humanity react, now they know someone has
been 'walking' among them in secret?
Watching, learning, practicing, helping, intervening.
He must think about what to do now.
Will he reside in his own dimension, with his Stickmen,
or will he decide to come out of hiding and surrender
himself to the judgement of humanity?
A task force has been set up to protect everyone.
The DPF (Dimensional Protection Force) has placed
detectors and fences everywhere.
Their last line of defense are huge Tesla coils.
When the lightning from these coils hits Observer,
he is blinded and his illusions disappear.
The world has changed overnight.
Fear, anger, closed doors, detectors, lockdowns
and false protection.
Observer can go everywhere he wants
in the blink of an eye.
Fences don't stop him and the Tesla coils
are only annoying and can not be placed
at every location.
But when he sees the fences and the signs,
he stays away and respects their wishes.
All he wanted to do was help.
A tribunal has been assigned to judge Observer.
They call to him to stand trial and face the people.
He has decided to grant this wish.
