Akuji

"The Blue King takes the field."

  After the death of the maker body of Apollyon after what felt like a eternity of suffering, Monad and Lilith sacrificed themselves, with paradoxes backing them in order to bring a avatar (meaning a representation of their power, or shard of themselves like a true familiar for a god) of Shi into existence. Placing a fragment of their limitless sentience into its body. This avatar is named Akuji, which directly translates to 'Evil or Wicked Deed' or 'Atrocity.' The energy absorbed into making them comes straight from the Spirits which were used a fuel source, and the nation of Premura.   Akuji apperence wise is actually a plain, white, featureless humanoid being, but when addressing individuals it suddenly will overtake its apperence with an all pure white version of whomever it is addressing.   Their 'blood' (or the essence the avatar is filled with) is pure black, and upon contact with it, it serves similar to a unresistable energy rot. (OOC Note: Being within 30ft of the Akuji avatar causes a hitpoint loss of 100 per turn. This damage is 'true negative damage.' Should you perish to this damage, your soul is destroyed forever, and your body disintegrates.)   Akuji's voice is described as a 'perversion of a human voice', manifesting as synthetic melody laden. Listening to it as a divinity can cause uniminagble amounts of viceral pain and insanity, alongside subject you to their will. There is no known way of blocking out the voice, other than to not invite it in, in the first place. Research is undergoing to find ways to resist the voice, but currently it is unknown. The voice does not speak your organs of hearing perception, but rather directly to your mind. (OOC Note: They do not roll for damage; their damage effects are a stagnant number should they hit.)   What remains of Apollyon/Alhim suggests hesitantly that perhaps what they are seeking may be able to be found within the Dreamlands, as he had told Fate. 'Salvation lays within the Dream.'   Akuji is a old but 'new' player in the grand scheme of things. Having been beckoned into existence by a mass sacrifice of most souls in existence, they serve as the 'understandable' face of Shi. Understandable in the sense that they have one driving force and a unwavering dedication to it. To break the seals of divinity. Should they get into the black veil in the garden which contains the seals without resistance, it would merely take a single touch to blow open reality to the far realms and shatter the philospher stone.   Their abilities are currently unknown, but anything that Shi can do, it should be assumed they can do. However, since information about the nature of C'tans arrived from The Golden Runesmith, and their 'Flipping Polarity' nature, it is unknown of Akuji also serves as a theoretical avatar of Tiathao as well, or if it is solely attuned to aiding itself, Shi, to waking up fully.   With a hands on touch from the Ruin Mother, it should be assumed the true game is set.   The Rebis remarks that over the ten years they have been absent, they have just been trying to out manuver the entity, as it controls the zombie-like corpse of the Maker Dragon Apollyon using its enforcers. Though warns the enforcers are only the beginning and that their true allies are being brought into existence from the ruined remains of the internal universe.
