Mythos

The Primordial
The foundation and sentience of the Essential Universe. All within the universe are part of the Primordial, as well as descended from it.

Ancients
The extension of the Primordial's will, these are the cosmic workers that uphold the Primordial's Will. Their duties make them something known as "Carriers", as they carry the duty and burdens of the Primordial's Cosmic Will and Law. Some consider the Ancients to be one with the Primordial, some think of them as a more mundane manifestation of the incomprehensibly divine Primordial. They lack the sentience of Divines, but are greater in power.

Phoena
The Carrier of Fire. Phoena is and simultaneously upholds the cycle of rebirth and reincarnation of spirit. Phoena's divine shape is similar to that of a great eyeless bird with uncountable mouths and feathers of fire. Its form is so grand that it manifests as smaller incarnations only visible to those about to die, effectively fulfilling the role of the Essential Universe's reaper. Holymen devout to Phoena are known as Phoenic Reapers, and are referred to as "your Holy Spirit". Most Phoenic Reapers, true to their name, are involved in death rites and funerals, preparing the dead and dying for Phoena's arrival.

Ouroba
The Carrier of Earth. Ouroba is and simultaneously upholds the cycle of the material and physical plane. Ouroba's divine shape is similar to that of uncountable giant serpents wrapped into a sphere, all constantly consuming itself. Holymen devout to Ouroba are known as Ouroban Humblemen, and are referred to as "your Humble Service". Most Ouroban Humblemen tend to earth and protect the physical environment, whether it be their local environs or the greater pursuit of science and understanding of what surrounds them.

Iathan
The Carrier of Water. Iathan is and simultaneously upholds the cycle of emotion and desire. Iathan's divine shape is considered invisible to the eye, as it can only be felt rather than seen, however poets and theologists have both taken to describing its form as an endless, invisible sea filled with ethereal star-like lights that function as eyes. Holymen devout to Iathan are known as Iathanic Sages, and are referred to as "your Holy Presence". Iathanic Sages devote their lives to poetry, the arts and the invoking of emotions and empathy, some even becoming therapists or counsellors.

Sirein
The Carrier of Air. Sirein is and simultaneously upholds the cycle of connections and thoughts. Holymen devout to Sirein are known as Sireinic Speakers, and are referred to as "your Holy Voice". Speakers devote their lives to scribing and oral tales of the Primordial and all of its myth. Some who also worship Sirein's children, such as Sona, deliver their sermons only in song.

Eraph
The Carrier of Light. Eraph is and simultaneously upholds the cycle of mortality and knowledge. Eraph's divine shape is a light beyond light, blinding beyond blinding. Holymen devout to Eraph are known as Eraphic Seers, and are referred to as "your Mortal Terror". Eraphic Seers are the most unsettling of worshippers, often creating cults, and even the tame worshippers' sermons are often God-fearing and reminding others of their finite existences dwarfed by the greater Cosmos. Some are devoted to science in the pursuit of true knowledge.

Erebo
The Carrier of Shadow. Erebo is and simultaneously upholds the cycle of protection and shields. Erebo's divine shape is darkness beyond darkness, an impassable shield that surrounds the entire Universe. Holymen devout to Erebo are known as Erebic Priests, and are referred to as "your Holy Shade". Erebic Priests are often warrior priests that defend and protect the innocent.

Sang
The child of Phoena and Ouroba, and the creator of the Bi-essence of Blood.

Ossu
The child of Ouroba and Sirein, and the creator of the Bi-essence of Bone.

Caro
The child of Ouroba and Erebo, and the creator of the Bi-essence of Flesh.

Kria
The child of Ouroba and Iathan, and the creator of the Bi-essence of Ice.

Sona
The child of Iathan and Sirein, and the creator of the Bi-essence of Music.

Nolu
The child of Eraph and Erebo, and the creator of the Bi-essence of Secrets.

Kinetics
Kinetics were pseudo-mortals created by the Divines. Unlike the Divines, they do not have individual "parents", but rather were the result of a channelling of energy of all the Divines to create matching forms. Magic comprised them, but they never understood how to access their power until Nolu told them the secret of Generative Magic. Kinetics were the first to reproduce physically as they could not create life in the way of the Divines. However, as a punishment for their crimes against their creators, they have been forbidden to die; while their offspring can rejoin the life cycle, for the Primordial seemingly does not blame the child for its parents' actions, the original Kinetics who survived the Divine War are immortal, left to sit in their agony and grief as the world decays around them from the age of brilliance it had once been.

Notable Kinetics

 * Chalice, dwelling on the planet Orphan Moon.
 * Atmos, dwelling on the planet Neo.
 * Oshawen, dwelling on the planet Neo, also known as the Living Sea.
 * Sorrow, dwelling on the planet Lachrymose.

Champions
Champions are Mortals seemingly chosen for a divine purpose, capable of transcending their mortal form and achieving a Divine-like level of power. It is possible this is the Primordial's way of re-establishing the status quo. However, they are not chosen frequently, seemingly only chosen when there is a need. Some religious folk do not consider Champions to be New Gods, seeing them instead as close to saints or simply heroes, but others consider that heretic as Champions are simply the second coming of the Divines.

Notable Champions

 * Genevieve of Genesis, some consider her to be the second coming of Caro, while others consider her to be the second child of Erebo and Ouroba as an acknowledgement of the death of Caro. She is the patron Champion of the Holy Order of Genevieve, who consider her instead to be the creator of the Bi-essence Order. Whether or not she created this essence is uncertain, as others argue that Order is instead a Cosmic Law that is innate to the very existence of the Universe, instead a result of the Primordial's whole entire being, and consider it sacriligeous to believe a mortal could create it. Instead, they say that she is the first mortal to learn how to use Order.

Hybrids
Hybrids, or Paro-Mortals, were created by High King Kazumi Ametsuchi in the 6E. This involved forcing Chaotic energy into Essential beings to create a mutilation that had disastrous, but potent, results; Paro-Mortals were capable of using magic to incredible heights, beyond even the most powerful Mortal, but inevitably it destroyed them.
