K, i'll do it
Yeah, a different one, but it still could be considered to be another variation of Los. The only one that doesn't really look like that or have those attributes is the Black Thirteen, which could be considered CK's version of the Tower/Rose.
From the blog post:
Another form of the Crimson King is that of Black 13, a magical artifact from which the King's Eye looks out of. It can banish people out of the universe: "And Callahan sees what's inside the box: he sees Black Thirteen crouched on its red velvet like the slick eye of a monster that grew outside God's shadow. And Callahan begins to shriek at the sight of it, for he senses its endless power"
"Deep down in the black eye, a red speck forms, glows....grows. Callahans horror swells, filling his throat, threatening to stop his heart with its chill. Its the King, he thinks. Its the Eye of the Crimson King as he looks down from his place in the Dark Tower. And he is seeing me.
"NO!" Callahan shrieks........"NO! NO! DONT LOOK AT ME! OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DONT LOOK AT ME!" - Wolves of the Calla In the Dark Tower, Rando Thoughtful, the Crimson Kings Minister of State, says that "Big Red always was Gans crazy side."
Honestly, the way Black 13 is described later, in that it predates everything, is very much connected to the Prim, and embodies the power of the Void beyond creation, I think that this could be CK's 1-A form.
Also from the blog post:
The Crimson King's avatar is naturally resistant to being erased from reality. The power of the Rose is needed to accomplish this feat:
"Now take thy pad, Patrick. Draw yonder man." Not that he was a man, but at least he looked like one.
At first, however, Patrick only continued to gaze at Roland, biting his lip. Then, at last, he took the sides of the gunslinger's head in his hands and brought it forward until they were brow to brow.
Very hard, whispered a voice deep in Roland's mind. It was not the voice of a boy at all, but of a grown man. A powerful man. He's not entirely there. He darkles. He tincts. - The Dark TowerSurely if Patrick had been able to erase the sore from that one, then he could erase the Crimson King from this one, leaving nothing but the balcony railing before him and the closed door to the Tower's barrel behind. Roland almost expected the Crimson King to breathe and move, and so surely it was done! Surely...
But it was not. It was not, and wanting would not make it so.
Not even needing would make it so. - The Dark TowerPatrick colored the other eye with the same delicate dip of the finger. Now two brilliant crimson eyes looked out of Patrick's black-and-white drawing, eyes that had been colored with attar of rose and the blood of Eld; eyes that burned with Hell's own fire.
It was done.
Roland produced the eraser at last, and held it out to Patrick. "Make him gone," he said. "Make yonder foul hob gone from this world and every world. Make him gone at last." - The Dark Tower
Oh yeah, and I still think I could make a case for 1-A Maerlyn, based off of rising from the Outer Dark of the Prim first, the fact that he possesses Black Thirteen, and that he has full power over the Todash Darkness between dimensions, which is also a void.
I can make a separate thread for that, but here's this:
What bubbled up from the depths of the Prim with a great burping stench of decay was the force of the Outer Dark, the ki'box of eternity. And out of that ki'box stepped a being that looked like the creatures that would later be called human, but human it was not. The firstborn of the Outer Dark was an agent of magic, and it called itself Maerlyn.- The Gunslinger BornThough Maerlyn looked like a grey-bearded mage, he was an Agent of the Prim, a creature of raw magic. Like the chaotic force that bore him, he cared nothing for either stability or order. All he cared about was his own amusement, and what amused him most was havoc. - The Gunslinger Bor
Maerlyn hated being exiled to Todash Darkness, so came up with a plan to lash out at creation via his laughing mirror. In doing so, he did a great service to the Random/Outer Dark by increasing that evil force's influence within the many worlds:
Maerlyn wanted Gan's pristine multiverse to reflect his own inner darkness, not the clear energy of its maker. He wanted to sully the new worlds so that he could fill them with his own filthy nests, but how to do so?
As the water of creation dripped from Gan's body, still sparkling with the energy of life that Gan had imbued it with, Maerlyn caught the drops in his hands. Cupping this precious fluid until it solidified, Maerlyn raced back to his cave on the shores of the Prim and placed it on a potters wheel where he spun it until it was thin and round. Then he placed his transparency facedown on his table.
The first thing Maerlyn did was spit a gob of silver spit onto the glass. He spread this evenly over the glass's back surface with his right forefinger - the one he used to point and to accuse. Once the silvering dried, he painted it twice more - once with a layer of vanity and then one of self-deception. Both of these coatings were so black that they were impenetrable to the light of reason. - The Gunslinger Bor
His magical looking glass was made to distort.
In the mirror's polished silver surface, good appeared ugly while evil seemed handsome. Not only did the mirror make all reflections of the White appear hideous and stupid, but it also made them seem ridiculous. In fact, the stronger the power of the White that it faced, the funnier the mirror found it and the louder it laughed. - The Gunslinger Bor
It seems like CK can just make a massive amount of avatars of himself who all seem to be relatively at the same level as Los or even more powerful. It makes sense though, taking into account his metafiction/reality warping/creation/plot manip/void manip hax (He doesn't have Void Manipulation or Concept Manipulation, and since Black Thirteen and CK both control these via the blog, CK should have them)
Yeah, he unkilled himself to avoid Roland's guns due to his mind becoming unhinged. .-.
But yeah, that pretty much covers the gist of it. King needs Conceptual Manip and Void Manip for the reasons I stated, though. Todash Space is non-dimensional and is similar to the Prim.
I think we might need to have a thread about Kingverse and adding more stuff for the top tiers, making more ultra-high tiered creatures, etc. Because Gan, Bessa and CK aren't the only transcendental, dimension warping dudes, neither are they the only ones who originate from the Void beyond creation.
Yep. Turns out we might need some more DT revisions (plus added profiles for Maerlyn and Todash beings like the Cthuns, as well as some cleanup on Gan's profile, maybe a straight 1-A rating for him and Bessa, and an additional Possibly 1-A key for Black Thirteen and maybe some other stuff) except this time I'll put more back work into it ;-;
I wanna talk about Maerlyn being 1-A due to the stuff I posted above, though.
He's stated to "twin," just like CK and Gan, and his lower form (the one you explained to me couldn't be 1-A because he got trapped via magic while drunk) was only his avatar, his real form being the first-born of the Outer-Dark in the Prim.
