}}'''The Illumination''', also nicknamed “'''Ill'''” or “'''Lit'''”, was one of the [[Abstract]]s. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'') He was “the embodiment of the concept of light”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere (short story)|The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere]]''

== Description ==

=== Physical appearance ===

The Illumination had the appearance of a human man, clean-shaven, with pitch-blank hair but pure white eyebrows. Visible eyebags emphasised his anxious disposition. He usually wore a large collar around his neck that kept his powers in check; if he took it off and returned to full power, he was enveloped in a blinding halo of white light, as bright a a newborn star. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'')

=== Personality ===

The Illumination was quiet and even somewhat shy. He was concerned about the effects of his powers on lesser beings, hence intentionally limiting himself by wearing the collar. He wasn't much for self-introspection, having never really thought about what he'd like to be called. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'')

=== Powers and abilities ===

As an Abstract, the Illumination was basically invulnerable, ([[GAME]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Roleplaying Game (game)|The Jenny Everywhere Roleplaying Game]]'') having once displayed the ability to move unprotected in the void of space. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'')

== Biography ==

=== Origins ===

Like the other Abstracts, the Illumination was not always the powerful and transcendental being he was later known as; the Abstracts were created. None of the Abstracts remembered their creation or what their lives had been beforehand, however, ([[GAME]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Roleplaying Game (game)|The Jenny Everywhere Roleplaying Game]]'') although the Illumination stated definitively that he had not chosen the name of “the Illumination” for himself, but simply been given it. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'')

=== Travels ===

Before either of them met [[Jenny Everywhere#Onboard the Wilson|Jenny Everywhere]], the Illumination travelled with [[Michael Wherever#Onboard the Wilson|one version]] of [[Michael Wherever]] for a number of years. Michael nicknamed him “Ill”, which the Illumination did not take offence to, despite Jenny's later mockeries. However, they had parted ways by the time Michael joined forces with Jenny aboard the ''[[Wilson]]''.  

They began making small talk, with Jenny noting that the name of “the Illumination” was pretentious and settling on “Lit” as what she would call him — which he rather liked. Before long, however, they were interrupted by an alarm signaling the presence of another, much more dangerous [[Abstract]] on the Earth of [[Universe Juliet-Two-Two-Six]]: [[Odious]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'')

=== Onboard the Wilson ===

Some time after “Lit” became part of the ''[[Wilson]]''<span>'s</span> crew, [[Jenny Everywhere#Onboard the Wilson|Jenny]] disappeared, not just from the ''Wilson'', but from the entire Multiverse. After sending out the rest of the crew to look for ways to bring her back, [[Michael Wherever#Onboard the Wilson|Michael]] and “Lit”, left in the ship by themselves, managed to jerry-rig a way for the ship to potentially make a jump into [[the Infinite]] to look for any lingering Jennies. Though the procedure was untested and dangerous, Michael's courageous gambit paid off. However, they found the Infinite to be deserted, save for other friends of Jenny's from other universes who had also come looking for her.  

At some point, the Illumination gifted Jenny a [[Jenny Everywhere's staff|collapsible hard-light knife]]. It was “[[godtech]]”, capable of breaking through even the enchantments of the [[Queen of Faerie|Faerie Queen]]. The [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny]] of the [[Collapsed Cosmos]] retained the weapon, which she used to free [[Glendalf]] from a magic tree in [[Faerie]], and in her fight against the [[Wild Hunt]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere (novel)|The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere]]'')

== Behind the scenes ==

In ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Rolepaying Game (game)|The Jenny Everywhere Rolepaying Game]]'', another Abstract with a similar designation — “[[Rae]], Abstract of Luminance” — is featured. It is likely that Rae was intended as a replacement for the Illumination at a later stage in the development of the lore of the Abstracts, although the link has never been drawn in-universe and ''The Jenny Everywhere Rolepaying Game'' does not actively deny the separate existence of an Abstract of Illumination.
