Divinity
Name: V'yxh'zharh
History: Briefly, V'yxh'zharh is an alien (in appearance), Lovecraftian entity who is the embodiment of trickery and manipulation in the universe. At one point a regular human, he was born in a place without a name to a lone mother who didn't know the father. He was raised alone by his mother on a hunter-gatherer diet and lifestyle until the age of twelve, at which time his mother died from unknown causes. He became desperate to discover why his mother had died, why his father was never there, and why the people of the world had to suffer. So, he dedicated himself to these principles, traveling from city to city spreading goodwill to orphans and the downtrodden, while speaking with priests and holy men about the causes of death, the afterlife, and abandonment. Eventually, he grew quite old and had helped untold amounts of people, and had yet to receive his answers. One day, as he neared the end of his mortal life, the elderly man came to a city whose name he did not know and whose people he was stranger to. There was a great fire in the city, and with the last of his strength, he managed to rescue countless young children and helpless people from the blaze. And as the fire consumed him, he realized that he could not die happy, not without knowing the answers to the unknown he craved. Then he died.
But the man refused to let himself go. For his heroism and life of goodwill, he was rewarded. Incomprehensible knowledge was bestowed upon him. Everything that man knew not, and he knew all that ever had happened, would happen and could happen. He knew his name. V'yxh'zharh. He knew his mother's cause of death. She gave him the food she needed. He knew why man suffered. Man deserved it. He saw it all and he knew it all. But in death, the infinite knowledge he had gained took its toll on his soul. He had no one to help, so he grew cold to the plights of man. Rather than assist him, he chose to quietly exist outside their reach and comprehension, searching for and awaiting the days he would find humans he deemed worthy to manipulate, to do his bidding. Little by little, he uses humans to bring him the knowledge he so craves. He tricks them, manipulates them, and uses them for his ultimate goal of possessing all the knowledge there is in the universe.
Aspect: trickery/manipulation
Appearance: he's reshaped himself into a cosmic horror, he's not meant to be comprehended by humans yet. When he his, he will produce a human form.
Starting Location: A pit near the city Ish'nar at the moment, because many gods are there, so there is much knowledge. (he moves to a hidden location near wherever the majority of man's knowledge is concentrated at any given time. Alexandria in the times of Macedon, London during the 1800's, Cambridge in modern times, you get the idea)
Antithesis: honesty, truth, and being seen damages him (its sort of symbolic. If he is seen, people will see how horrible he is. its like people seeing his true intentions)
