Also known as Aesma, she is the Goddess of aspiration, greed and self-sufficiency, and the creator of humanity. She is one of YISUN's disciples and the focus of numerous stories drawn from the scripture and mythic history of the setting.
----
* AchievementsInIgnorance: How she defeated the masters of Space, Ethics and Aesthetics -- she was too impatient to listen to their teachings, too ignorant to understand their value and too violent to allow [[BeyondTheImpossible silly things like physical possibility get in her way]].
* BeyondTheImpossible: Many of her feats. At the end of ''Aesma and the Red-Eyed King'', she defeats the titular king by ''picking up the multiverse itself'' and threatening to beat him to death with it. This is after hitting him with the battlefield, the moon, several stars, and a ''black hole''.
* BloodKnight: One of the qualities YISUN liked most about her was her penchant for violence and destruction.
* TheBrute: A subversion- her willful ignorance and tendency to react with violence is supposed to be one of her ''positive'' qualities.
* GodIsDead: Like most of the other gods. On the [[http://killsixbilliondemons.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Thronerevisited.jpg map of Throne]], "Aesma's Spine" is a minor landmark.
* HumiliationConga: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] in the tale of Aesma and the Three Masters -- it's the Three Masters, not Aesma, that are on the receiving end of one of these, although Aesma herself [[AchievementsInIgnorance has no idea that she did it]].
* InterpretativeCharacter : According to [[http://killsixbilliondemons.tumblr.com/post/144961898765/are-the-warrior-hermits-who-worship-aesma-distinct word of god]], her worshippers have drastically differing interpretations of what her stories mean.
* TheMaker: Of humanity... which was actually a shoddy, talentless rush-job of Aesma's, created out of sheer jealousy for the praise the Multiplicity's regular creator-god, Koss, was getting. It's for this reason that humans in the KSBD setting can't reincarnate upon death, unlike Koss's creations such as Servants and Angels.
* SociopathicHero: If not a VillainProtagonist within her own story.
* TheUnfettered: What she ''wants'', she ''takes''; this unrelenting drive leads YISUN to declare her the greatest of their disciples.
* UnholyMatrimony: In ''Aesma and the Red-Eyed King'', the priests convince her to seek a husband. This turns out to be a mistake when she turns around and releases a giant world-destroying demon in order to marry him.

->''"I heard it said you must be tender with your sword grip, as though with a lover. This is patently false. A sword is not your lover. It is a hideous tool for separating men from their vital fluids."''
A swordswoman of incomparable skill, Meti wrote one of the most famous manuals on swordsmanship, which declared that the sword was an ugly piece of metal and its adherents idiots and attempted to convince the reader to take up farming instead. She took [[http://killsixbilliondemons.tumblr.com/post/140339090610/do-mayas-theocidal-proclivities-reflect-the only one]] apprentice, the fallen general Maya.
----
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Her training consisted of three years of following a "strict vegetarian regimen, and harsh training of barefoot sprints (five) between cities, squats and breathing exercises (two bells), and sword drills and resistance training (three bells)." This made her powerful enough to fight ten thousand men at once. While naked.
* CombatBreakdown: Her first serious fight (against the Colossus of Pardos) lasted half a day, during which she says that "my sword was shattered into thirty pieces, my right leg was almost torn from its socket, and my honed body was broken pathetically in a hundred and forty places." [[{{Determinator}} She won anyway]]. With her thumbs.
* TheCynic: She thinks everyone is an idiot and that swordsmanship (which she devoted her life to) is worthless. She even lives in a barrel in the marketplace, a reference to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diogenes one of the original cynics]].
* CynicalMentor: To Maya. WordOfGod is that Maya's philosophies are mostly a result of her contentious relationship with Meti.
* DeathSeeker: After concluding that swords are worthless and everyone around her is an idiot.
* LadyLooksLikeADude: She says that she was frequently mistaken for a man, so she took to letting her hair down and unbinding her breasts.
* LadyOfWar: One of the most powerful swordswomen to ever live, and a power [[http://killsixbilliondemons.tumblr.com/post/155370905280/so-how-would-a-master-of-sword-law-like-meti on par]] with the demiurges through her personal skill alone.

->''"Heads. Yes, the beast has seven. Slay it, kingling, free us all! You are my redeemer! [...] Quick Alice. The Sovereign. Alice. '''Kill Six Billion Demons'''."''
A legendary hero, first of the Demiurges and the original conqueror of Throne. Once he discovered that the gods were long dead, Zoss' first act was to claim dominion over the multiverse by defeating the Prime Angels, last attendants of the gods' reign. As more Demiurges found their way to Throne from their own universes, Zoss became their king and ruled Throne in a golden age of enlightenment and philosophy. As the reign of the Demiurges eventually descended into madness and brutal civil war, Zoss abandoned his kingship and disappeared, although the Seven believe that he still survives.
----
* AccidentalMisnaming: [[spoiler:He calls Allison "Alice", which, as she says, is not ''quite'' her name. His confusion may be because UN is one of the names of the first-divided god and therefore a common prefix and suffix in the setting, leading him to believe she is Alice-Un.]]

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: He claimed the universe itself by right of conquest after personally stealing a fragment of the divine song, cutting his way into Heaven, and laying waste to the last attendants of the gods. In setting, he's officially considered the King of the second era of Throne, a title which puts him on a level equivalent with the creator of the multiverse.

* ImAHumanitarian: [[spoiler:In death, he became the Tree of Woe, a corpse-like plant (or perhaps a plant-like corpse) that must constantly feed on the blood of his wives to sustain itself.]]
* NothingIsScarier: It's never exactly stated ''what'' he did to his wives as he became more "sadistic and monstrous," but Mottom's description of his behavior is juxtaposed with a statue of a woman seemingly in prayer, but [[FinGore missing several fingers,]] [[EyeScream an eye]], and her nose. Also, the statue itself [[AndIMustScream appears to be stained with blood leaking out of its eyes, nose and mouth...]]
* PosthumousCharacter:

->[[AC:''"Let there be no Genesis, for beginnings are false and I am a consummate liar."'']]
God. YISUN may or may not actually exist, but it doesn't matter much as they committed holy suicide to create/become the cosmos. They are talked about extensively in the Liturgy, usually involving their apocryphal interactions with Un-Hansa, the God of Cynics.
----
* DeadpanSnarker: In legends, they're often this, subtly mocking people like Ogam.
* NonLinearCharacter: YISUN exists outside causality -- or, more accurately, causality is an illusion perpetuated by YISUN's holy suicide. Certainly in liturgy, YISUN has no problem appearing in the universe that they killed themselves to create.
* PiecesOfGod: This would appear to be the case, due to the nature of the holy suicide.
* PosthumousCharacter: In a very ultimate sense, since ''everything'' came into existence as a result of YISUN's holy suicide. Nonetheless, stories generally have YISUN speaking to and interacting with others, even though this is impossible.

[[quoteright:183:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aesma.jpg]]
Also known as Aesma, she is the Goddess of aspiration, greed and self-sufficiency, and the creator of humanity. She is one of YISUN's disciples and the focus of numerous stories drawn from the scripture and mythic history of the setting.
----
* AchievementsInIgnorance: How she defeated the masters of Space, Ethics and Aesthetics -- she was too impatient to listen to their teachings, too ignorant to understand their value and too violent to allow [[BeyondTheImpossible silly things like physical possibility get in her way]].
* BeyondTheImpossible: Many of her feats. At the end of ''Aesma and the Red-Eyed King'', she defeats the titular king by ''picking up the multiverse itself'' and threatening to beat him to death with it. This is after hitting him with the battlefield, the moon, several stars, and a ''black hole''.
* BloodKnight: One of the qualities YISUN liked most about her was her penchant for violence and destruction.
* TheBrute: A subversion- her willful ignorance and tendency to react with violence is supposed to be one of her ''positive'' qualities.
* GodIsDead: Like most of the other gods. On the [[http://killsixbilliondemons.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Thronerevisited.jpg map of Throne]], "Aesma's Spine" is a minor landmark.
* HumiliationConga: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] in the tale of Aesma and the Three Masters -- it's the Three Masters, not Aesma, that are on the receiving end of one of these, although Aesma herself [[AchievementsInIgnorance has no idea that she did it]].
* InterpretativeCharacter : According to [[http://killsixbilliondemons.tumblr.com/post/144961898765/are-the-warrior-hermits-who-worship-aesma-distinct word of god]], her worshippers have drastically differing interpretations of what her stories mean.
* TheMaker: Of humanity... which was actually a shoddy, talentless rush-job of Aesma's, created out of sheer jealousy for the praise the Multiplicity's regular creator-god, Koss, was getting. It's for this reason that humans in the KSBD setting can't reincarnate upon death, unlike Koss's creations such as Servants and Angels.
* SociopathicHero: If not a VillainProtagonist within her own story.
* TheUnfettered: What she ''wants'', she ''takes''; this unrelenting drive leads YISUN to declare her the greatest of their disciples.
* UnholyMatrimony: In ''Aesma and the Red-Eyed King'', the priests convince her to seek a husband. This turns out to be a mistake when she turns around and releases a giant world-destroying demon in order to marry him.

[[quoteright:319:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/meti.png]]
[[caption-width-right:319:In her old age.]]
->''"I heard it said you must be tender with your sword grip, as though with a lover. This is patently false. A sword is not your lover. It is a hideous tool for separating men from their vital fluids."''
A swordswoman of incomparable skill, Meti wrote one of the most famous manuals on swordsmanship, which declared that the sword was an ugly piece of metal and its adherents idiots and attempted to convince the reader to take up farming instead. She took [[http://killsixbilliondemons.tumblr.com/post/140339090610/do-mayas-theocidal-proclivities-reflect-the only one]] apprentice, the fallen general Maya.
----
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Her training consisted of three years of following a "strict vegetarian regimen, and harsh training of barefoot sprints (five) between cities, squats and breathing exercises (two bells), and sword drills and resistance training (three bells)." This made her powerful enough to fight ten thousand men at once. While naked.
* CombatBreakdown: Her first serious fight (against the Colossus of Pardos) lasted half a day, during which she says that "my sword was shattered into thirty pieces, my right leg was almost torn from its socket, and my honed body was broken pathetically in a hundred and forty places." [[{{Determinator}} She won anyway]]. With her thumbs.
* TheCynic: She thinks everyone is an idiot and that swordsmanship (which she devoted her life to) is worthless. She even lives in a barrel in the marketplace, a reference to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diogenes one of the original cynics]].
* CynicalMentor: To Maya. WordOfGod is that Maya's philosophies are mostly a result of her contentious relationship with Meti.
* DeathSeeker: After concluding that swords are worthless and everyone around her is an idiot.
* LadyLooksLikeADude: She says that she was frequently mistaken for a man, so she took to letting her hair down and unbinding her breasts.
* LadyOfWar: One of the most powerful swordswomen to ever live, and a power [[http://killsixbilliondemons.tumblr.com/post/155370905280/so-how-would-a-master-of-sword-law-like-meti on par]] with the demiurges through her personal skill alone.
* MasterSwordsman: She was nearly unbeatable by the time she was sixteen.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Meti viewed her companions and her one student this way.
* TrainingFromHell: Considering her first task for Mathangi was to make her ''shave her head with a rusty sword'', it's safe to say she inflicted this on her student.
* WaxOnWaxOff: Subverted. Her training manual instructs you to do all sorts of useful daily tasks, then says that now that you have mastered them and built a house, you don't need to master the sword and should forget about it.

->''"Heads. Yes, the beast has seven. Slay it, kingling, free us all! You are my redeemer! [...] Quick Alice. The Sovereign. Alice. '''Kill Six Billion Demons'''."''
A legendary hero, first of the Demiurges and the original conqueror of Throne. Once he discovered that the gods were long dead, Zoss' first act was to claim dominion over the multiverse by defeating the Prime Angels, last attendants of the gods' reign. As more Demiurges found their way to Throne from their own universes, Zoss became their king and ruled Throne in a golden age of enlightenment and philosophy. As the reign of the Demiurges eventually descended into madness and brutal civil war, Zoss abandoned his kingship and disappeared, although the Seven believe that he still survives.
----
* AccidentalMisnaming: [[spoiler:He calls Allison "Alice", which, as she says, is not ''quite'' her name. His confusion may be because UN is one of the names of the first-divided god and therefore a common prefix and suffix in the setting, leading him to believe she is Alice-Un.]]
* ArtificialLimbs: WordOfGod mentions that his [[http://killsixbilliondemons.tumblr.com/post/151550462670/would-zoss-have-had-to-ditch-his-robot-arm-if-he right arm]] is a prosthetic limb made from living wood.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: He claimed the universe itself by right of conquest after personally stealing a fragment of the divine song, cutting his way into Heaven, and laying waste to the last attendants of the gods.
