Defunct CS, use in reference to other posts for your benefit in making your own character, if you please :cool [center][h3]PYKHAT GAAL[/h3][/center] [hider=Character Sheet (Big WIP, more of a concept really)] [hider=Images] Work in progress.[/hider][hider=Names Explanation]He is known by two primary names, Pykhat Gaal and Yedai. The difference is that he uses the former with lower beings (anything not a god), and the later with more equal beings (other gods). For a lower being to call him by the later is to invoke his wrath.[/hider] [color=12120F][center][h2]Name:[/h2][/center][/color] [color=03080F][center][h1][b]P Y K H A T G A A L[/b][/h1][/center][/color] [color=03080F][center][h1][b]or,[/b][/h1][/center][/color] [color=03080F][center][h1][b]Y E D A I[/b][/h1][/center][/color] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/XNNNMAN.png[/img][/center] [color=90907E][indent][center][h2]"I am decay.

The "true" form takes the appearance of a levitating pitch black sphere. Usually, there are several black-feathered (crow-like) wings surrounding this sphere at various angles, also levitating (one for every additional universe consumed, very biblical angel looking). The reason for his appearance he does not understand himself, and will insist it's merely other consciousnesses trying to make sense of him. "Friendly" form coming soon.

This aspect gives him extensive insight into forbidden or unknown knowledge (and by extension the ultimate result of some actions), the fears of other beings, and an affinity for the dark.[/indent][/color] [color=12120F][center][h2]World:[/h2][/center][/color] [color=12120F][center][h3][b]YEDAI[/b][/h3][/center][/color] [color=90907E][indent]Pykhat's origins are very murky, owing to his Aspect. What is known is that he originates in Yedai, an ancient and obscure universe previously of innumerable civilizations and sapient species, further knowledge of which is irrevocably lost. Yedai underwent countless eons of history, and in this time many powerful beings came within an inch of learning the Secret Name of God, only to fail and fade into obscurity. After the last of these heroes' failure, Yedai began a slow and permanent decline into it's heat-death. Pykhat Gaal is the result of this event, and in a sense [i]is[/i] the embodiment of the dead universe, and broadly of entropy and decay. Thus, the current state is one of complete disorder— there are no physical laws, there is no energy, and there is no matter; there is only Pykhat.[/indent][/color] [color=12120F][center][h2]Race:[/h2][/center][/color] [color=12120F][center][h3][b]ABHORRANT TO THE SENTIENT MIND[/b][/h3][/center][/color] [color=90907E][indent]Unfathomable anti-entity. All that can be reliably said of his nature is that he is effectively a god.[/indent][/color] [color=12120F][center][h2]Legacy:[/h2][/center][/color] [color=12120F][center][h3][b]AVATAR OF ENTROPY[/b][/h3][/center][/color] [color=90907E][indent]Pykhat Gaal rose to power through no particular effort of his own. He is the result of the ultimate fate of his specific universe, which was heat-death (this character is really built on the assumption that this would be the fate of all universes if there were no infinitely powerful beings with domain over them, which in Yedai was the case). He unlocked the Key of Creation and learned of the Secret Name of God by becoming the universe upon its death. He is the embodiment of entropy and decay, which in its "aversion" to any sort of order or consciousness formed a unique sort of anti-consciousness. In some ways, you could consider Pykhat not to be sentient, but for all intents and purposes he is (hope that checks out). (Just to be interesting) As far as Heaven is concerned, however, he's only recently ascended to godhood.[/indent][/color] [color=12120F][center][h2]Might:[/h2][/center][/color] [color=12120F][center][h3][b]CONSUMER OF ALL[/b][/h3][/center][/color] [color=90907E][indent](Extreme work in progress, this is hard to do for what I want him to be). Pykhat is the embodiment of entropy (disorder, madness, etc.) and decay. Because of this, he's not affected by attacks against his mind (being a sort of anti-mind). To lower beings, his very existence is an unfathomable reality, and a particularly brutal method of dealing with them is to implant their soul into his "consciousness"(/Yedai, himself). Because of its nature, this is effective at immediately rendering most things but gods an invalid by driving them utterly insane. In this state, he can choose to absorb their shattered mind into himself or to re-manifest them wherever. Even by laying eyes upon his "true" form, such lower beings will quickly be driven to panic and hysteria, and higher beings (gods) will feel very unsettled. Because of this, he has his more "friendly" form. Aside from these abilities, he's also effectively indestructible, but can be heavily reduced and takes a [b]very[/b] long time to regain enough "influence" to re-manifest wherever he's been defeated.[/indent][/color] [color=12120F][center][h2]Path:[/h2][/center][/color] [color=12120F][center][h3][b]EXPANSION[/b][/h3][/center][/color] [color=90907E][indent]His "goal" (more like impulse) is to conquer all universes and reduce them to utter disorder, absorbing all forms of consciousness into himself. However, upon realizing that he's relatively late to the game, he begrudgingly deals with other beings from time to time.[/indent][/color][/hider] As a side note, I'm not utterly attached to this one, I had the idea and then executing it proved to be more challenging than expected— he's unorthodox enough that it's challenging to imagine how he'd fit into this IP. I'll probably attempt something more normal and put it here as well. Also, trying to decipher U.M. is a big task, especially being so new to K6BD. I think I got the writing mostly right, though, only his more "common" name. Will probably replace with a picture of him once I find/make one. Also wasn't sure what colors were preferred for the aspect. I went with a very dark blue, but it's very close to black. May change it to be more distinctive. [hider=Repost of Sample CS]Name: Pretty obvious stuff, put whatever name your character goes by. Sobriquets: New Gods often have various lofty titles and impressive nicknames, put them here. Appearance: Images and descriptions both fine, having both is preferable, I would rather not get into photos/faceclaims here. Aspect: This is the first complicated part. Every Key of Creation (the metaphysical object/knowledge that gives characters their divine power) has a particular aspect associated with it, which your character gained by learning one of the Secret Names of God. These names are typically something like FLAME, BLADE, GLORY, TOWER, BEAST, MIND, or DIAMOND. Something iconic yet provocative of a particular idea. This is the divine aspect your character inherited upon their ascension, and has symbolic implications toward their power. For example, the aspect of TOWER is associated with ruin, disaster, failure, and endings, so a New God with that aspect becomes most powerful after having just been defeated. Try not to make your character's powers and aspect coincide (so don't give a character with fire powers the FLAME aspect), but use it to give your character a new dimension. Also give the aspect a COLOR, which will determine the color of your character's aura/ki/chakra/mana/etc. PM me with questions if this isn't clicking, I know it's confusing. World: What world/universe is your character from? The two terms are basically synonyms in this setting. Just talk about whatever you think is relevant, such as possibly its most defining features, its history, and what state your character may have left it in. Your character's aspect should have some influence on the world they are from. Race: What species is your character? Describe them and their general traits here. Humans can just write "human," unless there is something particularly unusual about them on your world. The only limitation I'm setting forth here is that your character must be sapient and have a living soul in order to be one of the New Gods. If you want to play some kind of Angel or Devil, PM me. Legacy: This is the backstory section, but I imagine our characters have a lot in common so I'll outline the minimum information I want: give me an overview of their rise to power (whatever that means for them), their motivation for attaining divinity (or what their original goal was if it was acquired accidentally), how they attained their Key (usually by somehow divining one of the Secret Names of God), and what they have been doing either on their home world or in Heaven (the ruin-dimension at the center of the multiverse filled with the titanic corpses of the Old Gods, where many New Gods have been squatting) since their ascension. If you want your character to start the RP ascending and do the fish-out-of-water thing in the RP, that's also okay by me. Might: What was your character's claim to fame originally? Were they a wizard, a warrior, a citizen-soldier, a poet, a scholar? Describe their skills, talents, and abilities here, and how their newfound divinity has exaggerated and influenced this power. Really try to be creative here, since your character is meant to be one of the mightiest champions in the multiverse. You can also describe any armies or other resources under your God's command, as those interested in that sort of thing can amass wealth and levies easily. Path: Here I want you to describe your character's goals, ambitions, or overall intentions for their own future. Where are they going, if anywhere? What are they doing with their divine power, if anything?[/hider]
