If you could use anything to create the universe, how would you do it? What's your idea of how it all came to be? Here's mine:

At the center of the universe there is a mirror. It is not a literal or a figurative mirror, yet people of all kinds, from all worlds have searched for it. No one knows how to find it, for those who have discovered often do not return, and it is said of those who do that they are insane.
The mirror has no other power than this: it reflects the individual as they are.
Some say the mirror is a myth, others say that it is hidden because all things emerged from it. Only those who have discovered the mirror know with certainty what it is. Those who return do not tell its location.

Still working on what kind of people would inhabit this universe....

This could be the basis of a very interesting story.

Yes, good storys can emerge from this world.

I would create a completely caotic universe with only strange and unic events, until something absurd is createad, an entitie that can transform some caotic beings in to other similar to itself.

that would be NTs, and the world would be this one.
the chaotic beings are resistant to change.

I am. Wouldn't you be?
