The One

The One is the opposing force to the Other, and is assumed to have been born from the Zone.

The Zone
If the One had indeed come from the Zone, then it must have been a part of the sentient sigularity at the heart of that universe. How he split from the rest and crossed through a rift is unknown.

Pre-Game
Before the game began, there was the One. He must have been present in the dark ages of the universe. The Hawiki first sensed him when the Other provided them a pocket in which to live in the second universe. The One had wandered aimlessly, purposely, in the void as the universe shaped. When he first encountered the Other, the Other tried to eliminate him. But the One defending himself. The One assimilated an entire galaxy into himself, and became a physical representative of himself through a supermassive black hole. At the center of said black hole, the galactic dimensions and gravity twisted reality so it resembled the Zone of his homeland. The One wished to remain neutral, but the Other sought to eliminate him because he was not right. When he realized there was no hope, the One began retaliation. The Other saw his power, and feared his role would serve no good if the One were capable of counteracting him. So they met under a truce and discussed terms. Since neither would back down, they were forced to an agreement. The agreement had many rules, checks and balances, twisting the rules of the Other and the judgements of the One. From this agreement, the Game was born.

Game
The One and the Other played their dark games of strategy and brute force for the millennia. It inadvertently affected the lives of sentients, none more so than the Thrakr. When the universe ended and the Hawiki escaped, the Other actually sought to destroy them. But the One checked him. The game and the interference of the One is what brought about the Other's universe where he was bound by no rules. The One remained present, and over the course of that universe doubled his strength. It is unknown if the game will ever end.

Post-Game
It is unknown if the game will ever end, since the One and the Other are both seemingly immortal. The Tog'Ratha believe that the universe will end when the Old Beings rise again, and this may well be true, for if the Old Beings rise that can only mean that the One and the Other are gone.
