They can be described as the beings closest to immortals. With be build in connection to the old code and being able to use Backdoors in the system of this universe as they please they have basically no weak spot. They are the organs of the ones who Build this universe and to collect all information of all intelligent life scattered over it. A network of information systems which syncs with the Tinx saves that and carefully maps all knowledge in it.

Form and size is variable. They usually invade planets when they are on the edge of causing imbalance in the universe. Based on what form considered to be less conspicuous they usually strive around as a Pet or as something "small". If the situation changes they might even stay longer to just observe some more. If not safety measures will set into action and the planet will be wiped clean of any existing life form. This will be done by a unique ability that only a Tinx has and which was the reason they were created in the first place.

It starts a force field which absorbs everything on all levels of this reality. With that not just the physical form of energy but also the energy body's and souls that are on this planet. It is a complete reset of everything that happened up until that point and all information in the brains, genes, in the energy system, higher and lower frequencies and so on will be saved within the Tinx. With that, it is the only being that is able to isolate and access a soul, without destroying it. But as well cannot give others access to it. What goes into a Tinx, stays in it and with every piece of information the knowledge grows immensely. The reason why this is no threat to the "witnesses[creators]" is that a Tinx has a very limited self consciousness. They have basically close to no "ego" and act more upon what is their nature and don't question. Similar to an AI. They are an Intelligent life form and they do have characteristics for every individual. With that the part that can be considered for them to make a choice "outside" of the reach of the witnesses cannot be contained forever. A being with that extend of knowledge being "awake and aware of having a choice" is why they are monitored very closely. if one awakens they will be considered the highest possible threat to them and all the other Tinx will take it as their highest priority goal to make it impossible for it to do any damage. Since they cannot "die" they will be set into a state where they are unable to act on their own any further.

One of the main thoughts behind a security system with such a high risk is to keep the Turax and Keranidae from the possibility to be a threat. A Keranid that has been consumed by a Tinx cannot reincarnate and a Planet that was wiped free of the Turax will be Intact and sterile of it. With that the Tinx are natural enemies of both parts. Exception for the Keranidae is that they will be left alone as long as not considered a threat.

The function of how they act is not guided by the witnesses, the actions are bases on the observations of the Tinx and need no further control of it. "Controlling" them can start up security protocols of which are based on the original life form and can cause complications in the system, causing them to be more aware. The power of one individual is so great that only 13 of them where created of which only 12 are intact.
