Mental characteristics

Personal history

The Energy left over from the 1046 souls used to create the gods was not all used up.

The Seven were meant to be six. But a dead baby woke up and spoke madness into the minds of the godmaker Wizards (fun fact this madness is the pull that yanked the Wizard back to the world) who destroyed themselves. Apollyon then rampaged across the world fueling himself on the fears of humanity.

Once the Seven were formed Apollyon was viewed with suspicion and fear, a god to be appeased, not loved. Once the Thri-Keen invaded it was Apollyon who looked through time and stole the power to speak prophecy from the Giant King Abraxis, enabling the Thri-Keen to be pushed back and trapping Apollyon in a perpetual inbetween life and death state that cannot end whilst the Giant King Abraxis lives.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Became the devil figure ofthe Seven, although since Fourth Becoming was ended by Apollyons sacrifice he has somewhat had an image rehabilitation. Being one of the few deities who still has the power to empower clerics with the gifts of magic.

Sacrificed his body to bind his mind to that of the Giant King Abraxis, stealing his ability to perceive the String of Time.

Failures & Embarrassments

Used to feed on unborn babies of unwed mothers.

Mental Trauma

Aborted baby reanimated by the sludge of melted souls

Intellectual Characteristics

Barely conscious with his mind shooting backward and forward through time.
