Bhakshakhaana, the Engorging Empress

First introduced in a Drabble here

, Bhakshakhaana, the Engorging Empress is one of the most notable and notorious 'Devourers'/'World Devourers' by the 'Fifth Age'. Born a member of a small Naga race who spend their entire existence being stepped on, toyed with and preyed upon by others larger than they were, Bhakshakhaana would find a way to become a powerful and ravenous being, growing to the point that she would conquer and eventually consume her own homeworld. Now she wanders the cosmos, dominating and devouring world after world in her desire to grow in strength and size to the point that she would one day loom over all existence, free to be rule, indulge and feast upon it for all eternity.

Antagonistic Offspring: Has one in Vishvmaata, the Prodigious Princess, who opposes her due to coming to see value in existence and the people living in it, not wanting her mother to dominate and devour them all in her appetite and ambition. Surprisingly, Bhakshakhaana still retain a soft spot and love for Vishvmaata even if she would not stop for her sake (and would eat her to get her out of the way, at least temporarily).
Apocalypse How: Implied to be capable of invoking a ClassX, having devoured her own homeworld and many others. While unlikely to ever reach that point, she desire to become great and powerful enough to one day do so to all existence.
The Assimilator: While some would survive their devouring and endure in her endless gut and infinite body-realm, everyone and everything Bhakshakhaana consumed would eventually be absorbed into her being and becoming a part of her.
Big Eater: She is voracious enough to swallow entire worlds, and want to feast upon all existence for eternity if she could.
Bigger on the Inside: Possesses a near-infinite body-realm like many other divines and an endless gut like many devourers. Her body is spacious enough to contain remnants and survivors of all the worlds she swallowed and be a home for her children. Her Antagonistic Offspring Vishvmaata could sometimes spend centuries wandering within her innards whenever her mother defeat and devoured her to save those she had eaten and convince some of her siblings living inside her body to join her quest before escaping.
Expy: VERY loosely inspired by Vritra, Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy, and others.
Genius Loci: Her implied enormity as well as being Bigger on the Inside with an infinite gut and divine body-realm resulted in her own innards being its own realm of existence, filled with the remnants of all the worlds and civilizations she consumed and populated by those who survived their ingestion, trapped and yet to be digested/absorbed. Her own children, whom she also devoured but allowed to live inside her, call it their home.
God-Eating: Implied. Her vowing to eat even the gods who stand in the way, the fact that many populated worlds have or eventually acquire their own divines, and the fact that she managed to take over and eventually consume everyone and everything on her homeworld implied that she most likely (and even ascended because she had) eaten all of them, as well, and continued doing so on every world with gods which she came across to dominate and devour.
God Empress: Implied as she took over her own world (before eating it) and is an acquaintance/ally/adversary to various devourers/world devourers, who are all gods/goddesses.
God Save Us from the Queen!: As her title implies, she is one step above a mere queen, and eventually consumed her own planet after conquering and ruling it for quite some time, and then becoming this to many other worlds across the cosmos which would dominate and eventually devour.
Good Parents: Despite being a planet-eating Naga God Empress who want to rule, indulge and feast upon all existence, she does in fact dote upon and care for her children, even if she doesn't hesitate to eat them (though it just means they would live inside her body) or let them stand in her way of her ambition and appetite. She retains a soft-spot for Vishvmaata even though she opposes her efforts to dominate and devour worlds.
The Great Serpent: She is a Naga, making her in effect a sapient snake with human-like torso and arms. She is also great and gluttonous enough to dominate whole civilizations and devour whole worlds.
The Hedonist: Implied. She is noted to play and have her way with with many worlds she dominated before she devour them. She would indulge upon all existence if given the chance.
He Who Fights Monsters: Wanted to never again be stepped on, toyed with and predated by those bigger and more powerful than her and her people. She ends up becoming not only this but worse when she become so powerful and ravenous that she towered over her world and made everyone and everything her servants, playthings and food, and then repeating the same to many other planets after she consumed her homeworld.
Lost Colony: Came from a 'Lost Ones' world with a Mystical India theme, which no longer exists as Bhakshakhaana ate it and everyone who lived there.
Meaningful Name: Bhakshak in Hindi means 'Devourer', and Khaana means 'Meal'. She is a Naga God Empress Planet Eater who consumed her own homeworld and seek nothing short of making all of existence her meal as well as worshippers/subjects and playthings.
Planet Eater: Classified as a 'World Devourer', a subclass of Devourers mighty and voracious enough to metaphorically or literally consume whole planets and their populations.
Sealed Evil in a Can: Has been sealed away a few times by her heroic daughter Vishvmaata, although she has eventually broken out of them.
Sealed Good in a Can: Has invoked this with her rebellious heroic daughter Vishvmaata, swallowing and imprisoning Vishvmaata inside her body every time Bhakshakhaana defeats her to keep Vishvmaata from stopping her dominating and devouring worlds. While she would always break out eventually, Vishvmaata always uses these chances to sojourn within her mother's innards and save/salvage all those and that Bhakshakhaana has devoured, as well persuade those of her siblings living inside Bhakshakhaana to join her side.
Snake People: She was a member of a small Naga race populating a 'Lost Ones' world who were small enough that they were constantly being stepped on, toyed with and preyed on by others larger than they are.
Start of Darkness: She was a member of a small Naga race who were constantly bullied, killed and preyed upon by those bigger than they are, and after losing most of her family to Mongoose who killed and ate them and plundered their village she vowed she would one day be the one to loom over everything and eat everyone who stand in her way, managing to find a way to do so.
Take Over the World: She managed to do this to her own homeworld. And then she ate it.
I Am a Humanitarian: She feasted upon all beings without distinction to the point she eventually ate EVERYONE on her homeworld (and the world itself), and only went up from there as she conquered and consumed world after world in her ambition and appetite. Not even her children are spared from being devoured by her, although due to them being gods and her being actually a Good Parent this is more moving them to live inside her body forever.
In Their Own Image: When her Antagonistic Offspring Vishvmaata asked what she intend to do if she actually did devour all existence, leaving nothing left but her, Bhakshakhaana pointed out her daughter had pioneered a way to 'rebirth' even whole worlds, and if she had eaten and absorbed everything, she would have all the power and essence she need to recreate all existence using the same method on a grander scale, catered to her whims and desire. And she could repeat this as many times as she want every time she eventually devour it again, having her way and feeding upon it over and over for her eternal gratification and greatness. Luckily for this and every other universe, it's noted that it is extremely unlikely for her to even get this far for various reasons.
Where I Was Born and Razed: After taking over her homeworld and ruling it for a time, her ravenous hunger eventually led to her devouring it and everyone on it.

Caelum Filum, the Cosmic Prophet

Classification: Elemental/Ascendant

Portfolio: Reincarnation, Balance, Fluidity, Cycles, Fate

Rank: Divine (Tier IV/Greater)

Caelum Filum (first introduced here

) is the eldritch Alicorn god of Reincarnation, Balance, Fluidity, Cycles, and Fate, and is the corrupted form of Moon Ray Vaughoof/Canticum Lunae Cahaya.

After consuming a divine drug Joyous Freedom created in collaboration with Princess Voľná Láska to test him in both morals and powers, Moon Ray/Canticum ended up going on a drug trip so bad that he transformed into an eldritch deity, his mind, body, and domains warped by the sheer potency of the drug itself. Now completely stoned out of his mind, Caelum Filum has become immersed within the threads of fate, blissfully oblivious in his drugged state to how his mere presence is warping the lands around him. It took a month to stop and restore him back to normal, and the incident would be referred to as the 'Cosmic Prophet Debacle'.

Anthropomorphic Personification: He's an eldritch Alicorn god who embodies Reincarnation, Balance, Fluidity, Cycles, and Fate.
Became Their Own Antithesis: He's the corrupted form of Moon Ray/Canticum, who transformed into a completely stoned Eldritch Abomination by taking a powerful drug made by Joyous Freedom and Princess Voľná Láska despite being sober for three Ages (to be fair, it was out of desperation to recover from his chronic tiredness). He also became immersed within the threads of fate to the point of trying to predict everything, after three Ages of believing/preaching that one cannot possibly predict everything.
Cloudcuckoolander: Justified. He took a drug that turned out to be so powerful, he ended up going on a 'bad trip' and transformed into a divine Eldritch Abomination. While it gave him incredible power beyond his wildest dreams, the drug left him completely stoned out of his mind, blissfully oblivious to how his mere presence is warping the lands around him.
Eldritch Abomination: He accidentally became one after consuming a divine drug Joyous Freedom made as part of a collaboration with one of Pokhot's daughters. His eldritch nature causes him to warp the lands around him just through his mere presence, and even his domains are warped, with his precognitive powers being vastly expanded to the point where he became immersed within the threads of fate.
Eldritch Location: As a result of his eldritch nature, his very presence would warp the area around him into something similarly eldritch.
Expy: He's somewhat based on Kos/Kosm from Bloodborne, being otherworldly entities who, despite their eldritch natures, are worshiped by people who want their knowledge. Unlike Kos/Kosm, however, Caelum is an Ascendant mortal, and he's alive whereas Kos/Kosm is revealed to be Dead All Along, having perished long before the events Bloodborne during unknown circumstances. And unlike Kos/Kosm, who couldn't answer the prayers of her worshipers due to being dead, he actively refused to answer the prayers of his worshipers once he was turned back to normal because he felt guilty for causing so much damage in his eldritch form.
Have You Seen My God?: After his curing and restoration back into Moon Ray/Canticum Lunae, many of his worshipers, the Cosmic Acolytes, suddenly found their prayers going unanswered, with some going to extreme lengths to bring him back. It turns out Moon Ray/Canticum Lunae did hear the prayers, but refused to answer them because he felt guilty for the damage he caused in his eldritch form. Dr. Endless Dreams helped resolve the situation by adopting some of the Cosmic Acolytes into her clergy so she can teach them how to use their eldritch knowledge for good.
Irony: He's an eldritch god who tried to predict everything with his increased precognitive power. His entire existence came about through an unforeseen accident, in which Moon Ray/Canticum Lunae became completely stoned off his rocker after taking a divine drug that turned out to be too powerful for his Temperance-based powers to purify.
Mad God: He's a divine Eldritch Abomination who is completely stoned out of his mind thanks to Moon Ray taking a very powerful divine drug, blissfully unaware to the damage and chaos his actions were causing.
The Magnificent: Known as "the Cosmic Prophet".
Meaningful Name: His name translates to "Heaven's thread" in Latin. It refers to Moon Ray's precognitive power and how his mind became fully immersed in the threads of fate after taking Joyous Freedom's drug. It also has elements of Moon Ray's Alicorn name, Canticum Lunae Cahaya ("song of the moon light"), symbolizing how he Ascended to a higher state of mind/power but became corrupted in the process.
Mushroom Samba: The entire reason how he came into being. Moon Ray volunteered to try a new divine drug created via a collaboration between Joyous Freedom and Princess Voľná Láska, one of Pokhot's daughters, in order to test his morals and Temperance-based powers. Unfortunately, the drug turned out to be made too strong, sending Moon Ray on a drug trip so bad it warped him in mind, body and domains. The result was the eldritch and completely-stoned Cosmic Prophet, kicking off the 'Cosmic Prophet Debacle'.
Obliviously Evil: Justified. Despite the chaos he caused during his rampage/existence, he remains completely unaware of what he's doing because he's completely stoned out of his mind. Once he is cured and restored back into Moon Ray Vaughoof/Canticum Lunae Cahaya, however, he gains awareness of his previous actions in his drugged state and starts making amends for it.
Psychic Powers: He still has them, but they're massively enhanced/warped by his eldritch transformation. Among them is his precognition; upon becoming the god of Fate, he became fully immersed in the threads of fate, attempting to predict everything while being blissfully unaware of the damange he was causing around him.
Seers: As a god of Fate, he still has Moon Ray's precognitive powers, but they've been vastly expanded to the point of going out of control thanks to him taking Joyous Freedom's drug. He became so immersed in the threads of fate that he starts trying to predict everything, completely oblivious to how his mere presence is warping the lands around him. His foresight ends up attracting many factions who want to exploit it; among them is his followers, the Cosmic Acolytes, who seek to record his prophetic ramblings so they can use their knowledge to shape the future, for good or ill.
[REDACTED]: Ahh, Caelum, or some say Caelus... Do you hear our prayers?
Walking Wasteland: With his transformation into the Cosmic Prophet, his eldritch nature causes him to start warping the land around him into something similarly eldritch.
Winged Unicorn: He's still an Alicorn, but turned into an eldritch one after taking a divine drug that was too strong for his Temperance-based powers to handle.

Cellarius, the Divine Servant

Classification: Ethereal

Portfolio: Hired Help, Staff, Bodyguards

Rank: Divine (Tier V/Titan)

"Greetings, sir/madam, what would you like to do this morning/afternoon/evening?"

Cellarius (his entry here

) is the god of Hired Help, Staff, and Bodyguards, and one that is often underestimated due to both his role and portfolio.

Anthropomorphic Personification: He's a god who embodies Hired Help, Staff, and Bodyguards.
Battle Butler: While he's a god of Hired Help, his portfolio also includes the domain of Bodyguards, as hired help generally includes bodyguards as part of service to others. His combat ability is comparable to a war god of the same age. Despite this, he makes it a point for everyone who hires him to know that he's bodyguard, not a soldier.
The Dreaded: While his services are highly sought after and respected, his wrath when disrespected is feared by everyone, and even malevolent deities tend to go out of their way to not enrage him.
The Magnificent: Known as "the Divine Servant" due to his portfolio revolving around servants/staff, hired help, and bodyguards, as well as himself being frequently employed as a butler by various mortals and divines.
Nice to the Waiter: Part of his divine duty is ensuring this trope is in play for those he patrons, himself, and his angels. Not doing so is his Berserk Button.

Choice

Classification: Ethereal

Portfolio: Cause and Effect, Free Will, Consequence

Rank: Primeval

"What you choose to do, what you choose to be... they are all reflections of who you are."

Choice (its entry here

) is the deity of Cause and Effect, Free Will, and Consequence.

Not much is known about its true form, gender, age, or past. The only thing about it is it is very, very old, having come to being when the first lifeforms started developing the ability to choose.

Anthropomorphic Personification: It's a deity that embodies Cause and Effect, Free Will, and Consequence.
Character Catchphrase: "You/He/She have/has chosen... wisely/poorly."
I Warned You: Warned the Changelings and Dragons they had chosen poorly to continue their racial hatred for eons, and it would come back to bite them. Needless to say, it was right, and it has no problem telling them so to their faces.
No Biological Sex: Rather appropriately for its name and domain of Free Will, Choice isn't male or female, and changes which gender it appears as on a whim.
No-Sell: Appropriately for its name and divine domain of Free Will, any attempt to capture or enslave Choice will fail... unless it wants to.
Seers: Has some form of this. It seems to know every possible choice a mortal it can make, and the consequences that would result from it. Despite its ability, it would never force a mortal to make a good choice, because it would be anathema against its own purpose and existence.
Time Abyss: While not a Grand Primeval, it's still a Primeval, and as old as sapient life on Equus, making it positively ancient.

Count Dracolta, the Lord of Castellmania/the Vampire God

Classification: Ascendant, Avatar, Antipode

Portfolio: Vampirism, Undeath, Chaos, Evil, Darkness

Rank: Divine (Tier IV/Greater)

"Ha! Mortal-kind... a cesspit of hatred and lies. Fight for them, then, and die for their sins!"

Count Dracolta, born Gifted Conquest (his entry here

) is the god of Vampirism, Undeath, Chaos, Evil, and Darkness, and is a feared individual who rose to his current position through years of grief, hatred, and revenge.

Anthropomorphic Personification: He's a god who embodies Vampirism, Undeath, Chaos, Evil, and Darkness.
The Chessmaster: Being a highly intelligent and cunning strategist and schemer, it comes to no surprise that he was this, moving both friend and foe alike like pawns to achieve his ends. As with his inspiration, he managed to manipulate a Vampire Lord, said vampire lord's victims, his best friend, and many other people in between on his path to achieving immortality via alchemy and vampirism. He was good enough that he was able to almost match Changeling Emperor Blackthorn, the best Manipulative Bastard and The Chessmaster among the present generation of gods himself, which partly contributed to his status as one of Blackthorn's many rivals and arch-enemies. He's by no means perfect, but apart from a few minor problems and deviations everything usually goes just as he planned it.
Expy: Of Dracula from Castlevania.
Fatal Flaw: Wrath and Pride, as with his inspiration.
The Magnificent: Was initially known as "the Lord of Castellmania" upon becoming a Vampire Lord and usurping his wicked predecessor, Fearsome Might, as lord of Castellmania. Later, he gained a new epithet, "the Vampire God", upon Ascending to godhood.
Manipulative Bastard: He managed to deceive the Vampire Lord Fearsome Might into thinking the Sable Stone gives him control of not only darkness but death itself (a lie - he had an Angel of Death in his confidence, Lord Grim, who pretended to serve said vampire lord until the time was right), and persuade him into kidnapping his best friend's fiancé while writing to his best friend about it, knowing that Fair Mountain Lion would rush back home to save her and thus put him on course to eventually defeat Fearsome Might on his behalf.
Start of Darkness: Gifted Conqueror was originally a loyal and devoted knight and lord of a medieval kingdom whose only faults was perhaps having a little bit of pride/ego and dabbling a little in alchemy. Then the sudden loss of his beloved Promised Abundance to a long and terrible illness filled him with such grief and rage over what he sees as a capricious god and natural order that he snapped, swore revenge on them, and set himself on the path to becoming first a terrible vampire lord, and then a dark god.

The Cross of Fire/Gute Königin, Sapientkind's Light

Classification: Ethereal

Portfolio: Good, Using That Meant for Evil for Good, Superego

Rank: ???, likely Primeval or Preeminent

The Cross of Fire/Gute Königin (its entry here

) is a deity of Good, Using That Was Meant for Evil for Good, and the Superego, as well as a mysterious yet completely benevolent force responsible for the rise of many heroes.

A Form You Are Comfortable With: When appearing briefly to Infernus so it can give him a nudge in the right direction, it assumes the form of a female dragoness.
Anthropomorphic Personification: While most gods embody a concept, the Cross of Fire is the literal manifestation of sapientkind's good and the Super Ego formed from the Collective Unconscious. As such, as long as good exists, so does it.
As Long as There Is Evil: Inverted: as the manifestation of sapientkind's collective good, so long as good exists, the Cross of Fire can never die, be imprisoned, or done away with.
Blue-and-Orange Morality: It should be noted it doesn't embody Good in the traditional sense most mortals see it as, but as Objective Good, which makes it view Temnobog's method of evil as a form of 'Good' it is in support of.
Cain and Abel: It and Böser Anführer, Sapientkind's Shadow, see one another as twin siblings. As such, it's the Abel to Böser Anführer's Cain.
Eldritch Abomination: A benevolent one: it's the manifestation of sapient good and the Superego, and manifests as a cross made of ethereal flames rather than anything identifiable a living thing. When it reveals its true form while talking to Böser Anführer, it takes the shape of a huge cross made of flames with all of sapientkind's goodness throughout history forming from the flames.
Embodiment of Virtue: Manifestation of the objective goodness that exists in all sapient creatures, embodying the 'Superego' of all thinking beings' psychological triad.
Eternal Hero: Just as Böser Anführer will exist so long as evil does, the Cross of Fire will exist so long as good does.
Forever War: Much like the conflict between good and evil will rage eternally, the Cross of Fire and its twin Böser Anführer are destined to battle until the end of time so long as sapient beings have the capacity for good and evil.
The Ghost: Noted to rarely if ever manifests overtly, preferring to work in the background and empower those who battle against Evil as it sees fit. It seemed to prefer sapientkind being able to determine Good and Evil on their own accord and choose to do Good and fight Evil by their own choice. Subverted eventually, as it appears in the form of a female dragoness in a story, but still keeps its interference minor and secret. Overall, it seems to prefer that those it gives a nudge never realize it was even there.
God Was My Co-Pilot: Unlike its twin, who takes on many guises to fool and manipulate mortals, the Cross of Fire prefers to manifest as a random passerby who stopped to chat or lead the way in order to give mortals a nudge in the right direction.
Good Cannot Comprehend Evil: Subverted, in contrast to its Evil Counterpart. As an embodiment of objective goodness, the Superego and the conscience of all thinking beings, the Cross of Fire needs to know what is Evil and objectively wrong in order to properly advise sapient beings faced with moral choices what is good and why they should choose good instead.
Good Counterpart: The Cross of Fire serves as the positive opposing force to Böser Anführer, personifying sapient good as its twin embodies sapient evil.
No Name Given: It's only known as the Cross of Fire. Its 'preferred name,' Gute Königin, is revealed in a drabble, but it's implied that only its 'brother' actually knows that.
Resurrective Immortality: Just like Böser Anführer, the Cross of Fire cannot be destroyed. Killing it will merely result in it resurrecting, as it will exist so long as the capacity for sapient good does.
Samus Is a Girl: Played With. When it finally manifests in person, it appears as a female and its twin refers to it as 'sister,' and its writer confirms it prefers female forms in contrast to its twins preference to male forms. However, it doesn't actually possess a gender or sex.
Sentient Cosmic Force: Downplayed given it's localized to Equus, but this is what the Cross of Fire essentially behaves as, always acting in the background to empower individual and groups of heroes or just about any other being whose nature and deeds embodies objective goodness.
Time Abyss: Considering its 'twin' came into being with the first act of sapient evil, the Cross of Fire was born from the first act of sapient good.

D to G

Daeva Malefia, the Omen of Evil

See her folder entry here.

Dark Mask, the Stallion of a Million Masks

Classification: Ethereal/Ascendant

Portfolio: Suit Actors, Roleplay, Challenge

Rank: Divine (Tier IV/Greater)

Dark Mask (his entry here

) is the Alicorn god of Suit Actors, Roleplay, and Challenge, and is an Ascendant stage actor who plays the role of a villain to motivate/test heroes.

Anthropomorphic Personification: He's an Alicorn god who embodies Suit Actors, Roleplay, and Challenge.
Ascended Fanboy: He grew up watching various movies and Toku programs. When he reached adulthood, he ended up becoming a suit actor for the very programs he watched as a foal, albeit as a villain who tested heroes.
Card-Carrying Villain: Pretends to be one for young promising heroes to beat, in doing so help them train to become stronger and giving them the experience needed to overcome true evils.
Commonality Connection: He would become friends with Prince Dissonant Tune over their preference for playing the role of a villain to test heroes.
Dark Is Not Evil: He has a black pelt and his name is Dark Mask. A few of his roles have darkness-themed names, such as 'Dark Kaiser' and 'Shadow Emperor'. Despite this, he's a sweethearted stallion who enjoys playing the role of a villain so he could motivate heroes to get stronger.
False Crucible: Essentially his MO: he creates a supervillain identity and fabricates a threat so he may pose as a Wake-Up Call Boss for young heroes in need of either their first real challenge to force them to grow or humble them if they're getting too full of themselves. While the battle is real and they have to defeat him fair and square, no one is in any actual danger. The key is, he's such a good actor that the heroes think they are and act as if that were the case, forcing them to put their all into fighting and defeating him, and thus improving in the process.
Good Needs Evil: His reasoning for playing the villain/supervillain for heroes/superheroes: By challenging and overcoming him, heroes/superheroes become stronger and more skillful through experience, making them better at fighting more dangerous villains and threats.
Karmic Jackpot: During the Second Age, he played the role of a supervillain, testing many heroes like the Virtuous Seven and the Shadow Sentinels in order to push them to become stronger. This earned him the attentions of Luminiferous, who saw the need for a constructive villain like him, and helped him Ascend to godhood.
Magic Hair: Post-Ascension, his mane and tail became composed of acting energy.
The Magnificent: Known as "the Stallion of a Million Masks", due to being a god and suit actor who has played many roles over the Ages.
Master of Disguise: As actor, 'supervillain' and god, this is his biggest forte. He is so good in acting so many different villainous roles he got his nickname 'the Stallion of a Million Masks' even before he decides to become a 'supervillain'. Ascension to godhood only makes him even better at it with it as one of his domains.
Mean Character, Nice Actor: He often plays the role of a villain, but he's a theatrical, sweethearted stallion outside of it. He genuinely enjoys being the villain, and is a Nice Guy to his fans at conventions. He is also a good mentor to the heroes he tests and encourages his students after being defeated by them.
Noble Demon: Leaning on the Noble side, given the 'Demon' part is almost entirely an act.
The Perfectionist: His entry notes he has perfectionist tendencies, as he can be very hard himself after a bad performance.
Red and Black and Evil All Over: Subverted. He's a black-furred Alicorn with a red mane and tail, but he plays the role of a villain to test heroes and motivate them to become stronger. Outside of his roles, he's a theatrical, sweethearted stallion who's very nice to his fans.
Start of Darkness: Inverted. He became a villain because he felt that heroes needed a challenge to humble them and/or push them to their absolute limits. Discovering he had a Healing Factor following a special effects-related accident spurred him to become a supervillain and seek patronage from Dr. Silversmith, Sr., who provided him with the necessary resources and technology.
Winged Unicorn: Post-Ascension, he became a black-furred Alicorn with a red mane and tail composed of acting energy.

Rank: Divine (Tier III/Intermediate)

"I was cursed with hunger for all that flows, all that swims and all that are neither - and I must have MORE!"

Directora, the Bloated Bureaucracy

Classification: Ethereal, Giant, Devourer

Portfolio: Bureaucracy, Power, Corruption, Nepotism

Rank: ??? (Intermediate/Greater)

"The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy."

Directora (first mentioned here

) is the Giant divine living embodiment of bureaucracy run amok. Born from the bloating administration of a nation, both of which she dominated and ultimately devoured, she is driven by her nature and ambition to ever expand, controlling and consuming all in her path until all that exists is part of and an extension of her.

Ambition Is Evil: She is described as ambitious like the powerhungry bureaucrats she embodies, and desires nothing short of controlling and consuming all existence under and as part of her.
Arch-Enemy: She has one in another Giganticorn goddess named Ministera, the Auspicious Administration, who serve as a foil to her despite also being another all-consuming bureaucratic embodiment.
The Assimilator: She like Ministera wants to add everyone and everything into a part of and extension of herself.
Badass Bureaucrat: She is a living ever-expanding bureaucracy in the form of a Giant deity and has all the powers that implies.
Bigger on the Inside: As a Giganticorn in her true form, she like many Giants and Giant divines have spatial distortion which makes her much, much bigger on the inside, which combining with her Genius Loci nature allows her to have an entire endless bureaucracy without end inside of her.
Blue-and-Orange Morality: All her actions and motives must be viewed in the light of her being a living embodiment of an ever-expanding bureaucracy and acts like one. She wants to control and consume everything in part because that's simply what a bureaucracy which grew too big and too powerful does.
Control Freak: She like the bloated bureaucracies she embodies seeks to control everything, and has Power as one of her Domains.
Corrupt Bureaucrat: She is born from a bloated bureaucracy and embodies the corruption and ambitions of the greedy, power-hungry bureaucrats.
Genius Loci: The inside of her body (and what she essentially IS) is described as an endless bureaucracy which everyone and everything she devoured is made part of.
Horror Hunger: She is driven by her nature to devour everyone and everything in her sights, as bureaucracies tend to do.
I Am a Humanitarian: She devoured whole nations of beings, starting with her own, in desiring to make everyone and everything a part of the endless bureaucracy that she embodies, both literally as well as metaphorically.
Our Giants Are Bigger: Is classified as a Giant deity, and keeping with Giant divines' portrayal in the Codexverse likely size of a mountain in her true form.
Sizeshifter: As a Giant deity that's a given.
Where I Was Born and Razed: She ultimately devoured everyone and everything in the nation she was born and come to dominate, doing literally what the bureaucracy which she embodies had already done metaphorically.

Dream Road

Classification: Ascendant

Portfolio: [TBA] (Mechas? Warriors? Aces? Psykers?)

Rank: Divine (Tier IV/Greater)

Ace Pilot: Presently and widely considered the greatest Mecha pilot currently alive and one of the greatest in Known History.

Expy: He's based on Amuro Ray, except he Ascended to godhood following the events of Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack.
Humongous Mecha: His Gundams from the series. In the Fourth Age, he's built the Dream Gundam as his new machine, though this time, its his and he's free to use it however he chooses.

Spared by the Adaptation: Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack implies that Amuro Ray moved on to another plane of existence following his fight with Char. The Codexverse explains that he survived his fight with Char at the cost of being lost in space for some time, during which he Ascended to godhood. He would return to Equus in the Fourth Age in his rambshackle Humongous Mecha, which was barely kept together and functional through his Psychic Powers and sheer force of will.

Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos

Classification: [TBA]

Portfolio: [TBA]

Rank: [TBA]

Ebrietas (first introduced here

) is a benevolent eldritch goddess that originated from the fallen city of Giernan, which was ruled/influenced by the Healing Conclave she was formerly allied with.

Adaptational Heroism: In Bloodborne, she's implied to be a nice, or at least well-intentioned Eldritch Abomination whose actions in providing knowledge and blood became a source of misery in Yharnam due to factions like the Healing Church misusing them. Here, her heroism is made more apparent - she was manipulated by the Healing Conclave into participating in its atrocities under the belief it'll help her gain friends, but it wasn't until she met Father Wolfsbane that she realized the error of her ways and became a devout Meganian follower.
Close to Home: The Healing Conclave is a rather sore topic for her, having had been manipulated by them in the past. During the 'Cosmic Prophet Debacle', she goes after the Cosmic Acolytes in a rage thinking they're repeating the Healing Conclave's actions in manipulating an innocent eldritch being (in this case, Caelum Filum) for selfish goals.
Expy: She's essentially her video-game counterpart from Bloodborne, but more outwardly heroic and nicer. While she still played a similar role in the corruption of Giernan/Yharnam as her video-game counterpart did, it's made more explicit that she was misled.
Heel–Faith Turn: She initially followed the Healing Conclave, actually a Corrupt Church, and played a role in Giernan's corruption because she was misled into thinking she could gain friends from it. Meeting Father Wolfsbane led to her realizing the error of her ways and converting to the Magnean faith, something that still shocks people to this day.
Horrible Judge of Character: Deconstructed. Her desire to have friends made her vulnerable to the insidious influence of the Healing Conclave, who manipulated her into participating in its atrocities under the pretense of friendship. Once she meets Father Wolfsbane and converts to the Magnean faith, she realizes the truth of what she really did to the city of Giernan and its people. Because of this, the Healing Conclave is a sore topic for her, to the point where she went after the Cosmic Acolytes in a rage believing they're repeating the horrors of Giernan.
I Just Want to Have Friends: She only wanted to have friends, which made her vulnerable to the insidious influence of the Healing Conclave. After Father Wolfsbane met her and helped her convert to the Meganian faith, she realized the error of her ways and left the Healing Conclave, upon which she gained true friends like Dr. Endless Dreams.
The Magnificent: Known as "Daughter of the Cosmos", which is also her title in Bloodborne.

The Eldest of the Wood

Classification: Elemental(?)

Portfolio: Nature, Music, Unknown

Rank: Unknown, believed to be Primeval or potentially even Grand Primeval

"Eldest... that is what I am. The Eldest remembers the first sunrise and the first sprout... The Eldest remembers when the stars were younger and the world was younger still - long before the Discordant One came."

The Eldest of the Wood (his entry here

) is the enigmatic Deer(?) god of Nature, Music, and the Unknown, with his name coming from the fact that he is a very old entity that lives deep within the Everfree Forest for as long as anyone could remember.

Anthropomorphic Personification: He's a Deer(?) god who embodies Nature, Music, and the Unknown.
Expy: Of Tom Bombadil. Of note is their incredible age, and their ability to resist the temptations of power brought on by malicious magical artifacts. Whenever they don said artifacts, they're as nothing but pieces of jewelry.
Incorruptible Pure Pureness: It's stated he can put on the Alicorn Amulet and it have absolutely no effect on him, treating it as nothing but a piece of jewelry. This is justified - as a very ancient and powerful god who is Happily Married to his wife, he has everything he could want, and thus has no need for anything else, such as the power granted by the Alicorn Amulet.
Time Abyss: He's so old that no one knows how old he truly is. He's simply been there for as long as anyone can remember. Whether or not he's a Grand Primeval is unclear, but he's one of the oldest deities on the planet. However, if his quote is to go by, one thing's for sure - he lived before the time of Discord and his tyrannical, chaotic reign.

The Great Seedling

Divine Classification: Elemental(?)/Ascendant(?)

Portfolio: Trickery, Harvest, Bounty

Rank: Divine (Tier IV/Greater; could possibly be older)

The Great Seedling (his entry here

) is a Deer(?) god of Trickery, Harvest, and Bounty, and is an enigmatic yet benevolent figure who spreads bountiful harvests wherever he goes.

Anthropomorphic Personification: It's rumored In-Universe that he might be a free-roaming Deer god of Trickery, Harvest, and Bounty.
The Fair Folk: Maybe. It's rumored In-Universe that if he isn't a Deer god, then he's a member of a Deer-like Fae species that holds great power over nature itself.
History Repeats: Prince Stoltur Skjöldur fears the possibility of this happening - much like the Great Seedling, Stoltur's older cousin, Prince Stækka, tried spreading life and bountiful harvests all over the world to protect people from pain and death, leading to everyone suffering from the disasters that came after. Stoltur believes this is what will happen with the Great Seedling eventually, so he seeks out those of his family who joined him in the Equestrian Pantheon to find the Great Seedling and regulate his harvest-bringing.
The Marvelous Deer: It's rumored In-Universe that he might be either a Deer god, or a nature-based Fae with Deer-like traits.
Walking the Earth: Implied. It's rumored In-Universe that he might be a Deer god of Trickery, Harvest, and Bounty who took to traveling all over Equus, bringing bountiful harvests and prosperity wherever he goes.

Grief, the Saint of Mourners

Classification: Ethereal

Portfolio: Grieving, Mourning, Acceptance

Rank: Divine (Tier III/Intermediate)

"It will be okay."

Grief (her entry here

) is the goddess of Grieving, Mourning, and Acceptance. She tends to be feared, but it's largely because of misunderstandings in regards to her portfolio, which many believe contains Loss and Depression.

Anthropomorphic Personification: She's a (Alicorn? Draconequus?) goddess who embodies Grieving, Mourning, and Acceptance.
Dark Is Not Evil: She typically appears as a raven-winged goddess dressed in a black hooded cloak, and when helping mortal ponies deal with their grief, she appears as a black-pelted mare with a raven for a Cutie Mark. Despite her frightening appearance, she's very understanding, empathetic, and kind, being very dedicated to helping individuals achieve emotional closure in dealing with personal tragedies.
Five Stages of Grief: Weaponized. While she helps people go through this process in order to achieve emotional closure, much of her magic is based around this trope.
- "Denial" protects herself from all attacks by denying she's being attacked. The only drawback is that she can't retaliate while using this ability, as doing so means that she has to acknowledge that she's being attacked.
- "Anger" allows her to generate and control flames as hot as the anger of those around her.
- "Bargaining" gives people a second chance to make amends for words said and actions done in anger by summoning the spirits of their loved ones so they can apologize. Many people wrongly assume that she can resurrect dead people and have tried to make her do so in return for some personal act or sacrifice, but it's beyond even her power to do so.
- "Depression" allows her to generate and control water as if she herself is crying.
- "Acceptance" allows her to heal people by converting spiritual/emotional healing into physical healing once all spiritual and emotional wounds are healed.
Mentor Archetype: She would become Ruby Heart's mentor after the latter became a Confessor, teaching the spectral filly the many ways of helping people achieve emotional closure and has at times behaved like a second mother figure.
Parental Substitute: In Ruby Heart's entry, it's noted that she has behaved like a second mother figure for the spectral filly at times.
Winged Unicorn: Her benevolence, divinity, and her raven-like wings makes people assume she's this, though others have mistaken her for a Draconequus due to her body shape, but she has neither confirmed or denied this.

Lord Svetlo

Classification: TBA

Portfolio: TBA

Rank: TBA

First featuring in a drabble set during 'Final Ragnarok', Lord Svetlo was the Giant of Light who crash-landed in Cervidia long ago and fell in love with Astrid, making him the father of Lysets Far, the Light Father and grandfather of Tarou. In the time between his departure and the present day he had managed to ascend to godhood and continues to both watch over his beloved and scions from afar, as well as protect the cosmos at large from various monsters and threats.

Alien Among Us: Spent some time in Jotunnheim back when he was a mortal heroic Giant of Light, after crash-landing there. During that time he courted Astrid and produced Lysets Far from their union, who would inherit his heroic mantle on Equus after Svetlo left.
Big Good: Literally and metaphorically, being a Giant of Light god who had fought monsters and evil beings across the cosmos, protecting many worlds from destruction and depredation even while history continued on Equus.
Blood Knight: Honourable benevolent version. His idea to prove his worth to Astrid's Jotunn warrior god father was to find and defeat one of the meanest monsters in Jotunnheim at the time. Astrid's father Hrothgar approves.
Badass Cape: Wears one as part of his attire after ascending to godhood.
Large and in Charge: Since his ascension to godhood, he had grown in stature to the point that one of his subordinates, a skyscraper-sized Giant of Light himself, had to be on the upper levels of their enormous vessel's bridge just to be on eye-level with him. Lord Svetlo is also in charge of a sizable force of heroic Giants of Light across the cosmos, keeping the peace across many worlds and battling evil wherever they appear.
Mile-Long Ship: The mothership he rides in is positively enormous - dwarfing every vessel on Equus thus far - but also advanced enough that even in orbit no one barring the most observant star-gazer could even see it there.
Wowing Cthulhu: How he got the right to court Astrid: Proving to her father, Hrothgar, that he is worthy of the Jotunn war goddess' hooves and his respect by finding the most ferocious giant monster available and beating the crap out of it. Hrothgar was impressed and approves of his conduct even before Svetlo actually sets out to do it.
Hrothgar: Good answer.

Magna, the King of Conquerors

See his folder entry here.

Malignant Powers

Adaptational Karma: They are the answers to why Warhammer 40,000 is so grimdark, and being the Top Gods of that universe means they can get away with literally anything. They also were responsible for the Horus Heresy, manipulating events that would ultimately allow them to lay claim on the Primarchs. Here, their collective influence is not only excised from the Equusian galaxy by the Grand Primevals, who are much stronger and older than them, but they also finally meet their end at the hooves of a then-young Queen Majesty, who managed to fight and kill them in a dead universe that was in the process of being reaped by the Architect of Death all by herself. Despite being a mortal mare.
Death by Adaptation: Unlike in Warhammer 40,000, where the Chaos gods continue living with their influence remaining quite strong among all sapient races despite efforts to resist them, here they're eventually killed off by a young Queen Majesty (with aid from the Grand Primevals) despit her being a mortal mare.
Expy: Of the Chaos gods from Warhammer 40,000. Like the Chaos gods, the Malignant Powers were four in number and held considerable sway over the Imperium-era galaxy, corrupting millions of lives with their demonic influence while dooming countless more to suffer an increasingly hopeless cycle of war, suffering, and death. Fortunately, through considerable effort and divine aid, they are eventually killed off once and for all, with their influence completely and permanently excised from the universe's metaphysical laws to give everyone a much happier existence.
Four Is Death: Much like the Chaos gods, they were four in number. They were eventually killed off in a dead universe by a young Queen Majesty (with help from the Grand Primevals) in order to break the universal law of war, suffering, and death and liberate her world from their collective influence.
God of Evil: As indicated by their group name, the Malignant Powers are gods that spawned from countless Ages of war, conflict, and death, and thus embody all of sapientkind's worst traits and impulses. Unfortunately for everyone, their collective existence was essentially ingrained in the universe's metaphysical laws, so no matter what they did to resist the Malignant Powers, sapientkind could only fight a losing battle against them and their demonic forces.
Karmic Death: Like the Chaos gods, the Malignant Powers were utterly sadistic, cruel, and depraved, and treated the entire Equusian galaxy as their playground with its occupants being completely helpless to stop their corrupting influence on them. They eventually meet their ends at the hooves of a then-young Queen Majesty, who, despite being a biological descendant of a divine Alicorn Emperor, is only a mere mortal thanks to certain rare birth defects interfering with her heritage.
Meaningful Name: Malignant is a word that means "malevolent"; in medical terms, a malignant disease is often very virtulent and infectious. The Malignant Powers are based on the Chaos gods, and they're utterly evil gods concerned only with spreading chaos and corrupting innocent people for their sadistic amusement. And before a then-young Queen Majesty killed them off, they were all nigh-unstoppable thanks to the universe's metaphysical laws being so corrupted that people were doomed to suffer no matter what they did. At one point, Tuzu, the Magic Primeval compared them to "malignant tumors" that must be excised to save its host (i.e. all of Equusian sapientkind) from certain death.
Posthumous Character: All members of the Malignant Powers were long dead, having been killed by a then-young Queen Majesty to save the Equusian galaxy from their corrupting influence. Majesty also built the Galaxy Forge to rewrite the universe's corrupted metaphysical laws, ensuring that the circumstances that birthed the Malignant Powers would never happen again.
Stupid Evil: According to Tuzu, the Magic Primeval, the Malignant Powers are only concerned with spreading corruption, chaos, suffering, and death throughout the entire Equusian galaxy and little else. Tuzu even compared the Malignant Powers to "malignant tumors" leeching off an affected host (i.e. all of Equusian sapientkind), not caring if they themselves end up dying along with the suffering patient.

Morpheus, the Lord of Dreams

Classification: TBA

Portfolio: Dreams

Rank: TBA

Moropheus (first mentioned here

) is an ancient god of Dreams that Sola Mors befriended.

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: In The Sandman (1989), he's the grumpy, brooding, and melancholic younger brother of Death of the Endless. Here, he's friends with Sola Mors, who is completely unrelated to him yet managed to befriend him through sheer kindness.
Anthropomorphic Personification: Embodies Dreams, as indicated by his epithet.
Because You Were Nice to Me: Implied to be the reason why he developed such a huge soft spot for Sola Mors. Sola Mors was very kind to him, which got him warming up to her and made him more receptive to being in the company of others. That being said, she was also willing to call him out on his flaws, which she, being the Alicorn goddess of Courage, was not afraid to do.
Expy: Of Dream of the Endless. He's an ancient god who embodies Dreams, is close to a Death goddess who also happens to be a Perky Goth, and is at one point called out by said Death goddess for continuously wallowing in self-pity.
The Magnificent: Known as "the Lord of Dreams".
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: He would receive an epic one from Sola Mors, who grew fed up with his continuous wallowing in self-pity. She would then punctuate her speech by throwing at him a piece of bread he was feeding the birds with.
Sola Mors: You are utterly the STUPIDEST, most SELF-CENTERED, APPALLINGEST EXCUSE for an 'ANTHROPOMORPHIC PERSONIFICATION' on THIS or any OTHER PLANE! An INFANTILE, ADOLESCENT, PATHETIC SPECIMEN! Feeling all SORRY for yourself because your little GAME is OVER, and YOU haven't got the- the BALLS to go and find a NEW one!
Took a Level in Kindness: He used to be very foreboding, melancholic, haughty, and set in his ways. Then he met Sola Mors, after which he began to soften significantly and open up to others himself.

Mortem Notam, (WIP Title)

Classification: [TBA]

Portfolio: Death, [TBA]

Rank: (???)

Mortem Norte (first introduced here

) is the daughter of Deireadh and Obitus Equus, and is a benevolent Death goddess in her own right.

Dragged Off to Hell: She dragged off the souls of a group of Talon Bàisian soldiers to a Hell-Realm for not only fighting in a racist, genocidal war against Dragonkind, but also trying to justify their actions as "Just Following Orders" without genuinely repenting.
God of the Dead: Like her parents, Deireadh and Obitus Equus, she's a Death goddess, though implied to be one that specializes in dragging wicked spirits to their rightful punishment(s).
Large Ham: Much like her half-brother, Malus Manes, she acts hammy to intimidate the wicked dead who fall under her jurisdiction.
Massive Numbered Siblings: Justified. As her parents are very ancient Death deities, she has lots of biological and half-siblings; three of them are Gavisus Manes, Audens Manes, and Malus Manes, collectively known as the Three Deaths.
Meaningful Name: Her name translates to "death brand" in Latin, likely referring to her job as a Death goddess who drags the souls of wicked people off to their well-deserved punishments.
Shut Up, Hannibal!: In response to a group of Talon Bàisian soldiers' attempts to use the Just Following Orders excuse, she deconstructs it by pointing out they all saw what their people and kingdom were doing was wrong (especially in light of Sacred Swan's publication of Gael's crimes), and yet they still chose to participate anyway.
Mortem Notam: While one's society and time may count as a degree of extenuating circumstances, there is a limit to which that rule may provide one protection. Sins to which that is no valid excuse. Information which one can be exposed to that invalidates the excuse of 'my society did not know any better.' You were exposed to all of these. You have had the full depth of your sin rendered bare before you and still use that as your excuse. So, to quote my brother... ARE YOU READY?!"

Nadzena, the Overempress (Fifth Age)

Classification: Ascendant

Portfolio: Will, Intellect, Domination, Supervillainy (etc.)

Rank: ???

First mentioned in a Drabble, Nadzena the Overempress is the god-hegemon of the Overdominion, an Alicorn goddess of Will, Intellect, Domination, Supervillain and other domains, and none other than the ascendant Velika Volja/Overmare, the greatest supervillain of the Second Age. Although her experiences and ascension had caused a change in character for the better, Nadzena is still driven by her visionary ambition for the universe, and continues to challenge the post-Second Void Aeon galaxy with her attempted conquests.

Big "WHAT?!": Her response Magna revealed he was her son-in-law, having married Overmatriarch centuries ago. She still approved however, as she considered Magna as among the few worthy in her eyes to marry her daughter.
Deity of Human Origin: Deity of PONY Origin, having ascended sometime between the Second Age and the Fifth Age.
Friendly Enemy: Overmare/Nadzena is now on more cordial terms with Silversmith/Altamens, having finally come to realise how pointless her grudge against him was and acknowledging him as her intellectual equal (if still not superior). They still struggle against one another, but less rivalry and opposition more out of their ‘roles’, desires to challenge each other, and disagreements over how to achieve a better future than any remaining enmity on their part. Her current status with Metamare/Paragona is fully this.
Galactic Conqueror: Currently moving in this direction. She and her Overdominion had conquered the Large Maregellanic Cloud and nearly took over the galaxy in the Overdominion Crisis, and is still well-poised to do so despite the ongoing stalemate.
God-Emperor: Founder and god-hegemon of the Overdominion, being literally a Physical God and also its ruling Emperor Scientist.
Heel Realization: Downplayed as she's still a villainous force, but it's been noted she had moved in a more constructive and benevolent direction in character development, having had a chance to build her utopia without challenge with the Overdominion and having a long time to reflect on her own follies in the Second Age, which made her realise among other things how pointless her grudge against Silversmith was and that she really isn't as infallible as she believe herself to be. Luminiferous hopes in a few more Ages she would fully turn good or at least become a Constructive Evil deity like Temnobog.
Shipper on Deck: She supports Magna marrying her daughter, because if any creature is worthy of marrying her daughter, it would be a conqueror of conquerors like him.
So Proud of You: While still on opposite sides, she's unambigously proud of her daughter Overmatriarch (now an ascendant Alicorn goddess like herself) and her descendants' achievements. Both are now on more cordial terms since Nadzena is moving in a more benevolent and constructive direction.

Nefernekhti, the Mummy Queen

Classification: Ascendant, Resurrected, Devourer, Dark

Portfolio: Pharaohs, Mummies, Resurrection, Hexes, Calamity

Rank: Divine (Tier IV/Greater)

"Death is only the beginning."'''

Nefernekhti (her entry here

) is the goddess of Pharaohs, Mummies, Resurrection, Hexes, and Calamity, and was a former pharaoh/queen of old Neighypt who would become one of the most powerful mummies in existence.

And I Must Scream: She was cursed, mummified alive, and buried in a hidden tomb beyond Neighyptian lands and forgotten for around 5,000 years before she was rediscovered in the Great Wars Era of the Second Age.
Ambiguous Situation: Her father and his concubine who birthed her half-brother died under mysterious circumstances. While there are theories, many believe that Nefernekhti had something to do with it, or don't put it past her given her character and actions.
Expy: While she had Princess Ahmanet from The Mummy (2017) as a starting point, she is largely her own character with traits from other villainous mummies from other franchises.
Fate Worse than Death: Her current situation despite her pride and power, and the main reason why the higher powers ultimately did not dish out any further punishments for her actual crimes, besides having already suffered several times for her sins. She wanted to live forever, but at the cost of becoming a walking plague upon the world who sow doom and destruction in her wake. She wanted to rule, but her reigns are always transient and doomed to fall no matter how many times she returns. She wanted to be with her beloved, but due to circumstances beyond even her control she is cursed to always have them slip from her grasp. She knows all this and she also knows the higher powers allowed her to remain free so she could continue to serve as a challenge which force the world to grow in order to overcome. As far as the Judicae and other older powers are concerned, until she finally repent and redeem herself, she is already in hell.
Mummy: Was one of this and one of the most powerful to ever exist.
Nepharious Pharaoh: Zigzagged. While she seized power by force, it was partly due to her father walking back on his promise due to her half-brother's birth and stopping her from romancing a commoner. Her rule was noted to be iron-hoofed, but she also ruled well enough that Ancient Neighgypt prospered and grew powerful, and her reign was only derailed by a Civil War started by her half-brother after he had grown. That being said, she did pact with a dark underworld god for the power to win said Civil War, turning herself into a supernatural monster, and had nearly violated Primaeval Law in her grief trying to bring her lover back when he was killed by an assassin. It's implied she also committed many other crimes.
Start of Darkness: She was groomed (and was worthy) to be her father's successor on the throne as well as being deeply in love with a commoner, but was denied them both when her father took her out of the line of succession after her half-brother was born and tried to keep the two lovers apart out of tradition and classism, driving her to seize power for herself so she could rule and be together with her love. Then her half-brother started a Civil War which forced her to in desperation make a pact with a dark underworld god who turned her into his life-devouring monstrous avatar in the living world to win, at the cost of her equinity. Then her lover was killed by an assassin and she was stopped from trying to bring him back to life in her grief, and for her crimes was cursed and mummified alive. It was no wonder she became what she is today.
Walking Wasteland: Is stated to be a 'Walking Plague upon the world' and has Calamity as one of her Domains, allowing her to cause disasters by her mere presence.

Nightmare Rarity, the Night Returned/Queen Achlysia, the Sublime Brilliance

Classification: Ascendant/Ethereal, Corrupted Alter Ego

Nightmare Rarity/Queen Achlysia

as imagined by her author Brutalityinc

, modified from an original Nightmare Rarity design by Xebck

"I was the Night returned - but now, I AM BRILLIANCE INCARNATE!"

Queen Achlysia, the Sublime Brilliance (Her entry parts here

and [TBA]) is a corrupted alter-ego of Rarity Belle/Princess Lucia (although ambiguity remains and she insists otherwise) born from her own inner darkness and villainous impulses, who originally appeared during the 'Attack of the Nightmare Forces' event when Rarity was kidnapped and corrupted by the Nightmare Forces into becoming their replacement for Nightmare Moon, Nightmare Rarity, the Night Returned. Having somehow survived her purification by the Elements of Harmony, she would go on to become an Arch-Enemy in Rarity/Lucia's rogue gallery, serving first as an Enemy Within trying to take over Rarity's body and 'take back her life', and later as an Enemy Without after she gains an independent existence who is now free to, in her own words, be the 'Real' Rarity, although still seeking to neutralize Rarity as much as Rarity seeks to neutralize her.

And I Must Scream: Nightmare Rarity initial state following the events of the 'Attack of the Nightmare Forces': While the Elements of Harmony purified Rarity of Nightmare Moon's corruption, Nightmare Rarity somehow persisted, free from the compulsion of Nightmare Moon's essence while still embodying Rarity's darker impulses and desire, but was left essentially trapped in the back of Rarity's mind, disembodied, only able to experience the world from Rarity's senses but unable to act in Rarity's body. She is not happy about this in the slightest and would fight to retake the wheels from the 'usurping imposter' who she believed stolen her metaphoric ship.
Animal Nemesis: Like Rarity, hers are giant crabs. She also refuses to comment on it.
Confronting Your Imposter: On both ends. Both Rarity Belle/Princess Lucia and Nightmare Rarity/Queen Achlysia saw the other as the imposter and that they themselves are the REAL Rarity Belle, and would often confront and conflict with each other over it. It remains ambiguous in-universe as to who is the imposter and who is real, something which galls them both with a persistent and personal existential crisis.
Deity of Human Origin: Nightmare Rarity eventually ascended to demigodhood like Rarity Belle did, taking the title, name and epithet of Queen Achlysia, the Sublime Brilliance.
Enemy Within: Served as this for Rarity Belle following her awakening, being the embodiment of Rarity's darker impulses and desires and believing she is the REAL Rarity whose body and life had been taken over by an imposter created by the Elements of Harmony and sought to retake the wheel of her ship.
Enemy Without: Nightmare Rarity was freed from Rarity's body at some point during the 'Shadowpact Reformation', and would persist as such afterwards.
Existential Horror: Neither Nightmare Rarity/Queen Achlysia nor Rarity Belle/Princess Lucia know with absolute certainty who is the alter-ego and who is the real Rarity, a state of uncertainty which fueled their enmity for one another, as the only way they could put the matter to rest is to neutralize the other.
The Unfettered: While she is implied to still have standards, she is much more ruthless and unrestrainted in her ambitions to attain her desires than Rarity Belle/Princess Lucia herself, having in her own words freed herself being held back by her doubts, fears and insecurities.
Unwitting Pawn: Nightmare Rarity is implied heavily to be one for the Nightmare Forces and Nightmare Moon's surviving essence, as despite having her own darker desires during her outing in the 'Attack of the Nightmare Forces' she focused more on Nightmare Moon's original goals than her own, even to the point of telling the Mane Six that the Rarity they know is gone. This ends after both she and Rarity Belle was purified of Nightmare Moon's dark taint, although part I of her entry implies her survival is credited to Adversus and Nekelmu and/or their scions, intending for her to serve as an Arch-Enemy of Rarity Belle (and vice-versa) and a constant challenge to each other which would both enable both to grow strong and better, as well as maintain the Balance Between Good and Evil on Equus.
Superpowered Evil Side: To Rarity Belle/Princess Lucia, both before and after she gained an independent existence.

Santa Hooves, the Jolly One

Classification: Ethereal/Ascendant

Rank: Divine (Tier IV/Greater), possibly older

"Ho ho ho! Happy holidays!"

Santa Hooves (his entry here

) is the Reindeer(?) god of Good Will, Hearth's Warming, and Gift-Giving, and a jolly-natured individual with a very positive reputation all over Equus.

Anthropomorphic Personification: He's a Reindeer(?) god who embodies Good Will, Hearth's Warming, and Gift-Giving.
Deity of Human Origin: While his exact species is unknown, he was a mortal who was allowed to Ascend into divinity after the Deer pantheons witnessed his countless good and selfless deeds, and decided to reward him after he reached old age.
No-Sell: One of Santa Hooves' most unique and feared traits is his inability to be affected by anything other than good will, making him essentially nigh-invulnerable to all and any attacks against him made in hostility and prejudice. This is quite convenient for him as it means villains, tyrants and even evil gods like Discord and Iniquitous cannot stop him from delivering presents to their dominions and coals for their 'naughtiness'.
Time Abyss: Had been around for a very long time and active across the Ages of Known History. Had been active at least as early as the Second Age, with Saint Sweetheart of the Tales/Virtuous Seven, for example, knowing him on a personal level, as well as the jolly saint having met with other major figures of that era like Overmare.

"Whoever rises and fights against the forces of evil and darkness with strength, courage and honour, let them wield their weapons as I do my hammer. Whoever bleeds and sacrifices for Ponykind and for all that are good and bright, they are heirs to my legacy. Whoever stands together against their common foes, they shall find me stand with them as their comrade, in spirit or in the flesh. So proclaim Sigmare Mighty-Hammer!"

Sigmare, also known as 'Sigmare Mighty-Hammer' (her entry here

), is the Alicorn goddess of Ponykind, Heroes, War, Strength, and Leadership, and is one of Emperor Golden Scepter's first Ascendant champions and students.

The Ace: Sigmare was a peerless warrior, charismatic visionary and respected Queen and later Empress of Ponies who founded one of the first great civilizations of Ponykind and helped kickstart Ponykind's rise to greatness. Her repute and achievements as this trope had only continued to grow after she achieved godhood under Golden Scepter's tutelage.
Adaptational Sexuality: Sigmare, like her inspiration, had barely enough time for true love and romance with their dedication to Ponykind. However, unlike Sigmar, she showed attraction to both males and females, usually warriors, sometimes even bedding dozens of them in one night if she feels particularly stressed.
Anthropomorphic Personification: She's an Alicorn goddess who embodies Ponykind, Heroes, War, Strength, and Leadership.
Arch-Enemy: Her greatest enemy as a mortal was a Foil to her own achievements which arose in the north, Marekar the Unifier, who in revenge for Sigmare's retribution campaigns against them which destroyed her tribe unified many of the corrupted tribes and warbands of Ruinous Warriors in the north into a staggeringly huge horde and invaded Sigmare's empire with the intent to destroy all Sigmare built and raise an ever-lasting empire of Ruin from its ashes in the name of the ruinous pantheon the Ruinous Warriors worshipped. A second runner up was a Necromancer overlord whose Crown of Sorcery nearly corrupted Sigmare, and then invaded her empire with an army of Undead who went around slaughtering her subjects and committing vile atrocities among the living survivors for his rituals.
Badass Boast: See her quote above for a sample.
Barbarian Hero: She was born to a Barbarian Tribe and raised to become a barbarian queen, and she plays the part of a Barbarian Hero to the hilt during her early mortal years even after becoming the empress of the Empire of Ponykind, fighting, drinking, bedding and ruling like any barbarian king/queen worth their salt.
Barbarian Tribe: She was born in the Unbearoguean tribe, one of the twelve great tribes of Ponykind in a western land during one of the earliest eras of Ponykind's existence.
Berserk Button:
- Making an insulting mockery out of her people and their achievements is one for her. She was barely stopped from pulverizing Games Workshop in utter apoplectic fury upon learning how badly they distorted her and her first empire's story in their 'Ponyhammer Fantasy Battle: Times of Ending' campaign and the 'Ponyhammer: Age of Sigmare' sequel, changing the ending for the purpose of narrative and making every character depicted (all based on people she knew and respected) look like absolute idiots doing so. Games Workshop is implied to have discontinued and bury both gamelines shortly afterwards just to avoid being quite literally smited by a goddess whose story and legacy were what their games' backstories were based on.
Sigmare: WHAT TRAVESTY HAVE THEY MADE OUT OF OUR SAGA?!
- Killing her companions and family. She developed an undying enmity for the corrupted tribes of Ruinous Warriors from the north as her father, a sister and a brother were killed trying to stop their incursions and rampages, and her sorrow and rage were such that the only course of action she could think of to appease them was to take the warriors of her tribe/empire up north on a campaign of vengeance and annihilation.
Blood Knight: Sigmare is noted to have a deeply-ingrained lust for battle and violence, being quite literally born in midst of a war to the sound of battle and the touch of blood on her hide. This contributed to her prowess as a warrior, but she was also warned this lust for violence could lead her astray and prevent her from being the empress the newly-formed Empire of Ponykind needed to survive and thrive.
'Old Seeress': Though you have the vision of a goddess, the heart which beats within you is that of a killer. You lust for violence, and unbalanced, that heart of darkness will destroy you and all you hold dear. Temper your rule with compassion, mercy and love. Only then will you be the empress this land needs for it to endure. This is my warning to you, Sigmare Mighty-Hammer, born in carnage and to the sound of thunder.
Closet Geek: As it turned out, the million-years old goddess of Ponykind, Heroes, War, Strength and Leadership - who fought for Ponykind over aeons, saw empires rise and fall and even built many herself - is beneath her grim and determined exterior a massive tabletop game fan, having picked up the hobby at some point. During the Second Age she was outraged at Games Workshop for not only screwing up her and her era's story (which inspired the entire 'Ponyhammer Fantasy Battle' game franchise) with their 'Times of Ending' campaign and 'Age of Sigmare' reboot sequel, but also giving them terrible gameplay rules (at least in her opinion). She was so furious in fact she was barely stopped from singlehoofedly pulverizing the company by herself at full power with her warhammer in her apopleptic fury.
The Conqueror: More unifier and founder, but through diplomacy and war she would bring together many tribes of Ponykind together to form one of the first great empires in their history, the Empire of Ponykind (No relations to her mentor's Imperium of Ponykind or his later Terran Empire).
Comet of Doom: Her birth coincided with the appearance of a great crimson twin-tailed comet in the night sky which had been seen back in her days as a herald of events both tumultous and great. True to form, her birth was marked by her barbarian tribe fighting an invasion by a savage, warlike race, and it's implied her rise and reign would be marked by both unending conflict against forces of darkness but also leading Ponykind to unparalleled greatness.
Create Your Own Villain: One of her campaigns of retribution against the Ruinous Warrior tribes up north led to the rise of Marekar, who ended up becoming her darkest mirror in deeds, charisma, and combat skill/experience. Driven by hatred and revenge for her tribe being wiped out, Marekar would unify the other northern tribes with the aim of destroying everything Sigmare had worked for.
Dawn of an Era: She was born in the earliest ages of Ponykind's existence, and it's implied her deeds helped usher their rise to greatness.
Deity of Human Origin: She was once a mighty warrior and leader among Ponykind whose achievements were such that Golden Scepter would take her in as his first student and champion among Ponykind, and she would Ascend under his tutelage into a true goddess.
Determinator: Implied by her quote, so long as she lived, so long as Ponykind is assailed by threats, and so long as Ponykind is willing to unite and stand against them in strength, she will be there either in spirit or in person to lend her hammer and might to their aid.
Divided We Fall: Possessed this opinion. Seeing her people living in fear of a dangerous world and splintered by petty squabbles even in the face of threats from all side is what inspired her grand ambition to unify the Pony tribes of her land into one indomitable empire which would stand the test of time and all menaces which could come their way.
Carry a Big Stick: Her signature weapon is the great enchanted warhammer, Skullsplitter. It became the symbol of her first empire, one of the first great civilizations of Ponykind, and the symbol of the faiths worshipping her well into the present. It is also the 'Ponyhammer' in which the "Ponyhammer Fantasy Battle" game franchise in the Second Age based on her story in-universe would be named after. According to her legend, she earned it after she and her warriors rescued a High King of the Duradin, Curt Ironskin, when he and his forces were cornered by a horde of Orrucs, forging an eternal friendship between Ponykind and the Duradin in the process.
The Dreaded: She became feared and cursed among the Orrucs, Beastkin, Ruinous Warriors and other foes for the hammering she and her warriors gave them as she fought to unify her people and take out anything which may threaten them.
Duel to the Death: She and her last great enemy Marekar the Unifier of the Ruinous Warriors fought for a day and a night when they finally clashed to the death even as their armies battled all around them. Despite many near-death close-calls, Sigmare would prevail and smote Marekar.
The Empress: As a mortal, she united the great Pony tribes of her lands and forged the Empire of Ponykind out of them, with herself crowned as the first Empress. After her ascension to godhood this status is upgraded to God Empress.
Expy: Of Sigmar Heldenhammer, the legendary founder and first emperor of the Empire of Man in Warhammer: Fantasy Battle.
Every Man Has His Price: Sigmare got one aloof tribe under her banner by impressing them with gifts and respect rather than with sword and ravagery.
God Empress: Is worshipped as a goddess after her abdication and disappearance from history, and became an actual one herself under the tutelage of Golden Scepter, founding and new ruling new empires with herself as sovereign.
Heartbroken Badass: The deaths of her siblings and companions to war, assassins, sickness and misfortune over her life hit Sigmare hard, and her life is marked as much by tragedy as it was by triumph due to the personal losses and cost of making her dream a reality. Even so, she would bear it all over again for her people, and each loss had only made Sigmare double her efforts so their sacrifice would not be in vain.
- She wept for her father's and siblings' deaths to the Ruinous Warriors that often invaded her lands, and the campaigns of annihilation she led against them is as much to try and appease her sorrow and rage over them as it was to avenge the losses her lands and later her empire suffered because of them.
Hidden Depths: Despite being a grim and determined million-years old warrioress, conqueror and sovereign who built and outlived empires and dedicated herself utterly to watching over Ponykind, she still have her quirks: Sigmare is a massive tabletop game nerd, is uncomfortable with being 'girly', and Really Gets Around with both males and females (usually warriors). She's also much more able at politics and governance than her Blood Knight Barbarian Hero character would suggest, being able to persuade other Pony leaders and tribes to her cause through diplomacy and charisma as much as through battle and duels and then holding it all together through the fifty years of her rule resolving old feuds and grudges between the tribes even while they are assailed by outside threats like a horde of Undead and incursions of the Ruinous Warriors.
The Idealist: Sigmare is well aware of both the frailty of Ponykind in the dark times she lived and the weaknesses within them. Yet she believed that their inner strength could overcome their weaknesses and all other threats with the right inspiration and leadership, and worked to bring it about by unifying the formerly fractious and squabbling Pony tribes of her land under one banner, crown and throne in strength, courage and honour. Her idealism was proven right, and she succeeded beyond all expectations - Legends claim she even moved one cynical tribal king into joining her side by killing an Ogredrake menacing his lands without expecting anything in return and showing she was completely sincere about her intentions for unifying Ponykind.
I Owe You My Life: The High King of the Duradin in Sigmare's mortal time, Curt Ironskin, held this attitude to Sigmare for saving his life from the Orrucs. In return, he offered her the legendary enchanted warhammer Skullsplitter and the eternal friendship between the Duradin and Ponykind.
High King Curt Ironskin: Mighty is Sigmare, ye who hath saved a Duradin king from disgrace and death! How can I reward thy valour? I to my honour and shame hath no greater gift but one which most befits thee: A hammer of war, a mallet of power, cast from ore which fell from the sky with two tongues of fire. Made in the Forge of the Gods. Worked by the most skilled of Runesmiths. Ghal-Mareraz is its name: the Splitter of Skulls, the shatterer of shields, the sunderer of foes. It is yours, now and forever, as is our eternal camaraderie.
It's Personal: Sigmare had it out for several groups of enemies in particular due to how personal the consequences of their actions were to her, and her responses usually come in the form of relentless hammering of her foes with her Skullsplitter at the head of a huge tribal/imperial army.
- Against the Orrucs and Grots for the death of her mother as well as threatening her people and their lands. One of her titles was 'the Hammer of the Orrucs'.
- Against the Ruinous Warriors from the north for the personal deaths of her father, a sister and a brother with their invasions and rampages on behalf of their ruinous pantheon. Her campaigns of retribution however also made it personal for at least one Ruinous Warrior, Marekar the Unifier, who would become her last great enemy.
- Against a Necromancer overlord whose whispering Crown of Sorcery nearly drove her to madness and tyranny before she realize what she was becoming and threw it off, as well as the terrible atrocities he committed for necromantic rituals during his Undead's invasion of the empire.
Karmic Jackpot:
- According to her legend, her act of saving High King Curt Ironskin of the Duradin from the Orrucish hordes earned not only the eternal friendship between the Duradin and Ponykind for the rest of their existences, but also Sigmare her signature warhammer, Skullsplitter, as both a gift of gratitude from the High King but also to serve as a symbol of the new staunch alliance between their peoples.
- Her personal growth as a mare and warrior would catch the attention of Emperor Golden Scepter (then under the name of Auriolus Scaeptrum) and his adoptive daughter and first creation, Queen Rhodonite Mirror, who would both guide her in secret. Then, after uniting the twelve Pony tribes and creating/ruling a prosperous empire whose people have become self-reliant, she left on the fiftieth year of her reign to heed a call from an unknown source... only to discover that she was called over by Golden Scepter himself, who is so impressed with how she turned out that he personally offers to help her Ascend to godhood. Despite her initial misgivings, she ultimately accepts, allowing him to make her his champion and cleric.
Living Legend: She is still alive today, and is an incredibly ancient and powerful goddess widely considered one of the greatest mortal and divine Ponies to have ever lived.
The Lost Lenore: Gender-Inverted. One of the greatest tragedies of her mortal life was that chasing her dreams of unification, meeting her obligations as warrior-queen and founding empress and many circumstances beyond her control meant she never got the chance to find true love and raise a family. Laments were written of all the loves she had but could never consummate, the most famous of which was Ravanneighus of Unbearoguean.
Magnetic Hero: Highly charismatic, Sigmare is well known for being able to inspire the best out of even the most cynical of Ponykind by sheer determination and sincerity and rallying Ponies to battle and to follow her vision through words and deeds.
'The Legend of Sigmare': Time and time again she led them to battle, with her companions and fellow chieftains by her side, always at the front of her warriors and those from the other tribes of Ponykind. Time and time again she told them her vision of unity, and with every victory, every deed, every word and every moment, more and more took heed and listened. For it was true, the enemies of Ponykind were many and from all sides, and if they stood apart and not together, surely they would be doomed. Though alone each would fall to their foes and to the weaknesses in the hearts of all Ponies, She saw the strength which also dwells in the souls of all, and by bringing them together, she would forge an unbreakable bond which would hold in defiance against all else, a light of greatness lit to banish the encroaching darkness, within and without.
The Magnificent: Known as "the Hammer of Ponykind", the title given to her by her mentor Golden Scepter himself upon accepting his offer to be his student and champion.
My God, What Have I Done?: Being an imperfect mare, she greatly regretted nearly losing her way several times, most notably that one time she almost let the whispers of a Crown of Sorcery she picked up and wore drive her to tyranny and madness (which she atoned for by pulverizing the evil Necromancer lich responsible for making it when he invaded her empire).
Noodle Incident: Invoked with her entry. Sigmare had done and accomplished so much throughout her aeons-long existence (spanning millions of years) it is impossible to fit it all in one or even a hundred entries. As a result much of her life and legend had to be mentioned only in passing.
One-Man Army: If the legends are to be believed, she could singlehoofedly take out entire tribes and warbands of Beastkin and Orrucs by herself with her legendary warhammer even when she was a mortal. Becoming a goddess only turned this up a notch.
Our Founder: The unifier of the twelve great tribes and hundred other lesser herds and tribes of Ponykind in 'the west' and forging them into the Empire of Ponykind, with her as its legendary first empress.
Religious Bruiser: Sigmare is a follower of Wolfric, the god of Wolves, Winter and War in her people's lands, she was able to use this commonality to entice one particularly-religious great Pony tribe under her banner by promising to make the faith in Wolfric spread far and wide. True to form, the Church of Wolfric was centuries the sole state religion of her Empire of Ponykind before it acquires a rival in the Cult of Sigmare.
Rousing Speech: Her charisma as a Magnetic Hero allowed her to drop a lot of these. And we do mean quite a lot.
Shrouded in Myth: She has done a LOT - she had achieved so much and attained so many triumphs throughout her mortal life and divine existence that it was impossible to fit all of them in a single entry, and many of her legends could only be briefly mentioned, let alone verified.
Time Abyss: She is Antercendent-ranked, and had been around since the earliest ages of Ponykind. This makes her at least several million years old.
Tomboy: She identifies herself more with being a warrioress, conqueror and sovereign dedicated to Ponykind than an actual mare, and is uncomfortable getting in touch with her 'feminine' side. Justified in that she was raised by her barbarian king father alone in a time of war and strife.
Tragic Hero: Chasing her dream/destiny to unify Ponykind in her lands under one dominion strong enough to endure and thrive had taken her everything she got and cost her dearly on a personal level, although to her it was worth it in the end by freeing her people and their lands from danger and darkness and inspired them to fulfill their potential and reach for greater heights.
Try to Fit That on a Business Card: Sigmare Mighty-Hammer, Queen of the Unbearogueans, Friend of the Duradin, Wielder of Skullsplitter, Hammer of the Orrucs and Grots, Scourge of the Beastkin, Bane of the Ruinous Warriors, Uniter of the Western Pony Tribes, first Empress of the Empire of Ponykind, Purger of the Vermintide, Repulser of the Undead, Destroyer of Marekar the Unifier... (And those are just the few among many she earned while mortal)
Universally Beloved Leader: She was so acclaimed by her people and allies that after she abdicated the throne of the Empire of Ponykind and vanished from mortal history, she would become deified and worshipped in her Empire over subsequent generations.
War God: Implied; one of her domains is War.
Winged Unicorn: Much like her divine mentor and patron, Emperor Golden Scepter, she is an Alicorn, though a very ancient and eldritch one since she was born before the Known Ages.
Wowing Cthulhu: Sigmare's achievements in the earliest eras of Ponykind's existence was such that Emperor Golden Scepter, who created the Earth Pony tribe, would offer to make her his champion and student, paving the way for her to become an Alicorn warrior goddess.

Silk Dawn, the Radiant Designer/The Fallen Light

Classification: Ethereal/Elemental

Portfolio: Primordial Light, Fabric, Beauty

Rank: Primeval

Silk Dawn (her entry here

) is the Fallen Primeval goddess of Primordial Light, Fabric, and Beauty, and is an absolutely monstrous and sadistic being who holds utterly twisted ideas of what "perfection" is.

Abstract Apotheosis: According to Godzillawolf, Silk Dawn was born a demigoddess to Urun, the Light Primeval, and a mortal sapient creature who was the first to create and clothe himself in rudimentary clothing. This means that she Ascended to true godhood at some point.
Abusive Parents: Much like Ragyō Kiryūin, Silk Dawn was a horribly abusive mother in all aspects. In addition to Ragyō's canon treatment of her daughters Satsuki Kiryūin and Ryūko Matoi (depicted here as demigoddesses May Shore and Wandering Child, respectively), Silk Dawn sexually molested her other children under the excuse of "purifying" them and indoctrinated them to follow her twisted standards of perfection. She essentially mutilated her firstborn daughter, White Corona, by dividing traits she believed made her "imperfect", leading to the births of twin sisters Yellow Barding and Blue Diadem. Rose Regalia, meanwhile, was groomed to be a perfect enforcer of Silk Dawn's plans, turning her into a Spoiled Brat until she was shown by Canteros what true love and affection actually is. She was so monstrous that she saw nothing wrong with how High King Irminsul treated his unborn son and praised the Deer sovereign on his ambitions. Predictably, Silk Dawn's abusive treatment of her children caused many of them to betray her and side with those who showed them genuine love, ultimately leading to her defeat, death, and postmortem punishment.
Action Fashionista: Like Ragyō Kiryūin, Silk Dawn is quite fashionable and likes wearing fancy, elaborate dresses. She's also a "Primeval"-ranked goddess who is a daughter of one of the oldest deities in existence, and thus is a powerful force to be reckoned with.
Action Mom: While a horribly abusive mother to her own children, there's no denying that Silk Dawn is an incredibly ancient and powerful goddess who sits just below her own mother, Urun, the Light Primeval. Her sealing deprived Morning Star of a valuable ally during the ancient Alicorns' civil war, and as the Arc Villain of the "Silk Dawn Crisis", the primary objective for all heroes and benevolent deities involved is to stop Silk Dawn's attempted Assimilation Plot and defeat her.
Adaptational Backstory Change: Unlike Ragyō Kiryūin, whose backstory wasn't explored, Silk Dawn is depicted here as an "Primeval"-ranked goddess and ancient daughter of Urun, the Light Primeval who once helped her mother promote light, beauty, and the advancement of fabric and clothes on Equus before she became a Fallen goddess. Ragyō Kiryūin's misanthropic views of humanity in canon is also explained here as the direct consequence of watching various civilizations, beings, and races rise and fall in an endless cycle of creation and destruction, stroking her ego and turning her into an utterly sadistic, sociopathic narcissist whose goal is to enforce perfection on the wider cosmos by absorbing it into herself.
Adaptational Badass: Ragyō Kiryūin is a human woman whose body was heavily infused with Life Fibers, and was powerful enough that it took an entire school (including its own Absurdly Powerful Student Council and a scissors-wielding teenage girl who wasn't even an official student) to take her down. Here, Silk Dawn is an ancient goddess of Primordial Light, Fabric, and Beauty who is a daughter of one of the oldest deities in the Equusian galaxy, who took even more people to defeat in both instances where she is directly confronted. She also "stitched" the remains of an eldritch god to her own body, empowering herself even further.
Adaptational Karma: Ragyō Kiryūin killed herself by ripping out and crushing her own heart rather than accept her daughter Ryuko's offers of peaceful surrender, essentially getting away with her crimes scot-free. Here, Silk Dawn's divine essence is caught and contained by Rarity/Princess Lucia and Princess Bon Bon after she tries pulling the same trick as part of a Thanatos Gambit, and is shortly Dragged Off to Hell by the Grand Primevals to receive a well-deserved punishment from her uncle, Nekelmu, for eternity.
Adaptation Name Change: Ragyō Kiryūin is changed here to Silk Dawn, which is essentially the English translation of Ragyō's name. Silk Dawn's original name pre-Fall is revealed to be Sericum Aurora, which can be seen as another form of Ragyō's name.
Adaptation Species Change: Ragyō Kiryūin is a human woman whose body is heavily infused with Life Fibers. Silk Dawn is a massive-sized goddess made of light in the vague shape of a peacock, with multiple eyes covering her body.
Age Lift: Ragyō Kiryūin's true age in canon is unknown, and it's further complicated by how she's a nigh-immortal being with Life Fiber DNA with an insane Healing Factor that possibly canceled out her aging altogether. Here, Silk Dawn is an ancient goddess who's a hundred millions of years old at minimum.
Ancient Evil: Silk Dawn is a "Primeval"-ranked goddess, making her hundreds of millions of years old. She's also a monstrous Fallen goddess who horrifically abused her own children, and is so convinced of her own perfection that she tried to make everything "perfect" by assimilating them all into herself.
Animalistic Abomination: Silk Dawn's true divine form is a massive, glowing peacock-like entity made of light, with multiple eyes all over her form. Her 'default' Alicorn form is also eldritch to a lesser extent, being an Alicorn with a mane and tail made of rainbow energy.
Anthropomorphic Personification: She's an ancient Fallen goddess who embodies Primordial Light, Fabric, and Beauty.
Arc Villain: She's the primary villain of the "Silk Dawn Crisis", in which she enacted her Evil Plan to assimilate the whole world and the surrounding universe into herself in the name of perfection.
Armor-Piercing Question: After Irminsul calls her out for experimenting on her own infant daughter, Silk Dawn proceeds to throw his words back in his face by asking him about what he did to his unborn son. This leads to a horrified Irminsul desperately trying to deny the similarities between them.
High King Irminsul: You used your children as experiments! Like dolls you could change however you see fit!
Silk Dawn: You mean like you did with your son?
High King Irminsul: ...D-Don't you compare us, you monstrosity!
Assimilation Plot: Silk Dawn's end-goal is to make both the world and everything in it "perfect" by assimilating them all into herself, and then use that as a launch-pad to assimilate everyone and everything else across the cosmos until the whole universe is made "perfect" via becoming part of her. Considering how sadistic and monstrous she is to those she judges as "imperfect", it's as horrific as it sounds.
Avenging the Villain: Invoked. After her plans were foiled with herself on the verge of defeat, Silk Dawn enacted a Thanatos Gambit by killing herself and spreading pieces of her own divine essence to other worlds in a final act of spite, hoping one of said pieces might return one day to avenge her. Fortunately, Rarity/Lucia and Bon Bon/Fasan captured all of her fragments and delivered them to the Grand Primevals, ensuring that she would never return.
Ax-Crazy: Underneath Silk Dawn's affable and refined facade is an utterly sadistic, cruel, and narcissistic sociopath who was willing to molest and outright mutilate her own children in the name of perfection. Then there's also her Evil Plan, which involved spreading herself throughout the cosmos and assimilating everything to make them "perfect" in her eyes.
The Baroness: A combination of both "Sexpot" and "Rosa Klebb" variants. Silk Dawn is an extremely beautiful goddess in both her Pony guises and her true, Peacock-like divine form, and as a "Primeval"-ranked goddess, she's extremely powerful — so much that practically everyone united to stop her from assimilating the cosmos into herself in the name of perfection. Personality-wise, however, she's an utterly sadistic and sociopathic narcissist who sees herself as the living epitome of perfection, and loves rubbing her own superiority into people's faces. Her treatment of her own children is horrific, indoctrinating them to follow her twisted standards of perfection and outright molesting them to satisfy her sadistic urges. Even those she's supposedly fond of are just pawns or useful resources to her, like the mortal stallion who became the father of demigoddesses May Shore and Wandering Child.
Beauty Is Bad: Silk Dawn is an extremely beautiful goddess, whether in her true form or her Unicorn and Alicorn forms. Her Beauty domain enhances that with additional abilities like mind control and bringing out the beauty in things. Unfortunately, she's a Fallen goddess who is also a sadistic narcissist and a monstrously abusive mother to her own children. She corrupted her Beauty domain by using it to "purify" them and make them "more perfect", like what she did to White Corona to create Yellow Barding and Blue Diadem.
Berserk Button: Being a narcissistic sociopath, Silk Dawn can be set off by anything she perceives as a threat to her ego. The most prominent ones are being reminded that she has flaws, and that even an ancient, powerful goddess like her is not above the natural cycle as she thinks she is. Moon Ray/Canticum pushes both buttons while in captivity as her prisoner, not only sending her into a rage, but also leaving her shaken enough to end up on the losing side despite all her efforts to win.
Better to Die than Be Killed: After being left weakened and battered, she kills herself to pull off a Thanatos Gambit rather than give the many forces opposing her (including her own heroic children) the satisfaction of defeating and killing her. Unfortunately, karma finally catches up to her when Rarity/Lucia and Bon Bon/Fasan catch her divine elements with their abilities, and she is dragged by the Grand Primevals to Nekelmu's Hell-Realms, where she would suffer for her crimes for eternity.
Break Them by Talking: Being a sadistic narcissist, she often partakes in Evil Gloating, rubbing her own superiority in others' faces so she could relish in their despair over being so inferior compared to her. What makes it worse is that as an ancient goddess, she has more than enough power, experience, and skill to back up her claims. However, it's noted to be a character flaw of hers as her monologuing tends to make her blind to various spanners in her plans.
- During her first fight with Rose Regalia, Silk Dawn demeans her Fusion Dance technique, comparing it to "stitching some pretty-looking scraps onto a cheap dress". Rose Regalia retorts back that even such a "dress" can still last long enough, causing Silk Dawn to realize too late that her daughter ratted her out to Urun, the Light Primeval, who shortly arrived in-person.
- Silk Dawn's Motive Rant about the state of the cosmos could also be seen as this, as she was essentially telling everyone that the world they live in is fated to be created and destroyed repeatedly in an endless cycle. As her eventual fate showed, this only made everyone fight her even harder, as being assimilated into a Fallen goddess and being made "perfect" is rightly seen as a Fate Worse than Death.
Bright Is Not Good: Like Ragyō Kiryūin, Silk Dawn is heavily associated with light and rainbows (albeit as a goddess of Primordial Light, Fabric, and Beauty in her case), and is an Action Fashionista who loves wearing fancy dresses. She's also an utterly cruel and narcissistic sociopath who thinks so highly of herself that her Evil Plan was to assimilate the entire cosmos into herself so she could make it "perfect" in her eyes... as well as a horribly abusive mother who outright molested and mutilated her own children under the excuse of "purifying" them of all imperfections.
Charm Person: As a goddess of Beauty, she is supernaturally beautiful to the point of being able to mind-control others. This applies to even her power to bring out the beauty in all things, but after her Fall, she twisted this power by using it to "purify" things and make them more "perfect" by her standards. However, she still has the same weaknesses as other Beauty deities, as her powers can be resisted by those with strong Heroic Willpower and/or those who can No-Sell mind-control in general through various means.
Cold-Blooded Torture: At one point, she kidnapped Moon Ray/Canticum with the expressed intent to dissect and kill all of his three forms, as they embody parts of the natural cycle that she despised. While Moon Ray/Canticum was saved and healed thanks to timely intervention by his friends, family, and allies, the damage inflicted on him was so extensive that he was left permanently scarred even after he recovered. He would state later that his torture was one of the most frightening experiences he ever had.
Composite Character: According to Kendell2, she's a combination of Ragyō Kiryūin and an unredeemed White Diamond. While her light motifs come from both characters, her associations with rainbows and clothing, her sadistic sociopathy, and her monstrously abusive treatment of her children come from Ragyō. Her twisted standards of perfection and her belief that everyone should be made "perfect" at all costs comes from White Diamond, at least prior to her Heel–Face Turn.
Create Your Own Hero: Had she not been such a monstrously abusive mother, Rose Regalia, May Shore, Wandering Child, and other children of hers would not have betrayed her and foiled her plans to assimilate the entire cosmos to make it "perfect".
Crossover Relatives: The Codexverse makes her the biological mother of White Diamond (White Corona), Blue Diamond (Blue Diadem), Yellow Diamond (Yellow Barding), and Pink Diamond (Rose Regalia), with the added twist of the former three being half-sisters to Rose Regalia, who was sired through Morning Star. Yellow Barding and Blue Diadem are explained here as twin sisters who were born through her experiments on White Corona, having deemed her firstborn daughter to be "flawed" and used her powers to remove certain aspects of White Corona's personality and create deities she believed would embody those removed traits more.
Dark Action Girl: She's a monstrously sociopathic narcissist who molested and mutilated many of her own children in the name of perfection, female or otherwise, and her ultimate goal is to absorb the entire cosmos into herself to make it "perfect" by her standards. She's also an extremely ancient Fallen goddess who, in a world where a deity's age translates to strength and eldritchness, is an absolute powerhouse in both magic and combat. She was so strong that it took more people to bring her down for good than it took to defeat Ragyō Kiryūin in Kill la Kill.
Deity of Human Origin: According to Kendell2, her father was the first mortal sapient being on Equus to create rudimentary clothing, making her a demigoddess in her earliest beginnings.
Divine Parentage: She's a daughter of Urun, the Light Primeval, which makes her incredibly ancient and powerful. Her father was the first sapient being on Equus to create rudimentary clothing, which would have made her a demigoddess in her earliest beginnings.
Dragged Off to Hell: Despite killing herself to pull off a Thanatos Gambit, her divine essence is captured by Rarity/Lucia and Bon Bon/Fasan before she could succeed in doing so, and is delivered to the Grand Primevals (one of which includes her mother, Urun, the Light Primeval). She is then dragged to the Hell-Realms for Fallen gods watched over by her uncle, Nekelmu, where she would be punished for eternity.
Driven to Suicide: After being left weakened, battered, and on the verge of defeat, she kills herself in order to pull off a Thanatos Gambit, in which she planned to scatter her own divine essence into space in hopes it'll spawn something that'll avenge her in the future. Unfortunately for her, Rarity/Lucia and Bon Bon/Fasan catch and contain her essence before delivering it to the Grand Primevals, who drag her off to the Hell-Realms designed to punish Fallen deities for their crimes.
Elemental Embodiment: She's a Fallen goddess who embodies Primordial Light, and thus her light-based powers are much stronger than a normal Light deity's due to being 'purer'. Even her true form is a massive, peacock-shaped entity made of light.
Everything's Better with Rainbows: Averted. She's a stunningly beautiful goddess, and both her mortal and Alicorn disguises have a rainbow-colored mane and tail... but she's also a horrifically abusive mother and narcissistic sociopath who sees herself as the pinnacle of perfection. Her ultimate goal was to assimilate the entire universe into herself to make it 'perfect' by her standards, which was thankfully foiled.
Evil Counterpart: To Moon Ray Vaughoof/King Canticum Lunae Cahaya. Silk Dawn is an ancient Fallen goddess who embodies "good" domains like Primordial Light, Beauty, and Fabric, while Moon Ray is a young, benevolent Ascendant god who embodies Death (among other things). Silk Dawn is a sociopathic narcissist who treats all "inferior" beings like trash and hated the natural cycle to the point of wanting to destroy it. Moon Ray is a flawed, yet kind and forgiving stallion who loves all life regardless of its flaws and sees everyone as part of the natural cycle, treating it as a positive force. He even comes to embody the natural cycle itself after re-Ascending. Silk Dawn was born to Good Parents, yet became a monstrous abuser who experimented on her own children to make them "perfect" and molested them out of sadism and ego. Moon Ray is an abuse victim who was tormented by his drunk, ill-tempered father, influencing him to become an addict himself later on, yet overcame his trauma and became a loving father to his own kids, the Liberi Lunae. For bonus points, a few Liberi Lunae members were originally Silk Dawn's children. The contrast between them is further emphasized when Silk Dawn kidnaps Moon Ray with expressed intent to torture him to death, only for Moon Ray to get under her skin by predicting that even she will die like everyone else in the cycle did — which eventually comes true.
Evil Gloating: As a Narcissist, she will go into long monologues where she rubs her superiority in the face of her victims and enemies. She's more than capable of backing it up due to her age and power as a goddess, but it's also noted to be a flaw of hers that many of her enemies, including her own children, have exploited.
Evil Is Bigger: Her true form is an ancient, "Primeval"-ranked goddess who is over a hundred million years old, making her gigantic according to divine standards. Her Pony forms are equally tall, whether as a Unicorn mare or an Alicorn goddess. She is also incredibly monstrous, narcissistic, and cruel enough to try assimilate the entire cosmos into herself in the name of perfection, and was a horribly abusive mother who outright molested and mutilated her own children under the excuse of getting rid of their "imperfections".
Evil Matriarch: She's the mother of quite a few characters, including Rose Regalia, Wandering Child, and May Shore, yet she is a horribly abusive parent who subjected her own children to physical, emotional, mental, and sexual abuse. Her plans to enact an Assimilation Plot upon Equus (and the surrounding universe) to make it "perfect" is what gets her opposed by said children, along with many other benevolent deities and and mortal heroes.
Face–Heel Turn: She was once a loyal, benevolent, and dutiful daughter of Urun, the Light Primeval, helping her mother spread light and beauty across Equus while nurturing the advancement of clothing. However, watching various civilizations, races, and beings rise and fall in an endless cycle of creation and destruction convinced her that she is perfection incarnate due to being immortal and unchanging, stroking her preexisting ego and turning her into a sadistic, sociopathic narcissist obsessed with making everything "perfect".
The Fashionista: Much like Ragyō Kiryūin, she constantly wears fancy, over-the-top dresses and other outfits.
Fatal Flaw: Pride. She used to be a benevolent goddess who helped her mother nurture the development of Equusian sapientkind, but witnessing the rise and fall of civilizations, individuals, and entire species in an endless cycle gradually stroked her ego and convinced her that she is living perfection incarnate. All the things she did in her lifetime, including her utterly horrific abuse and mutilation of her own children, were done to enforce her own twisted ideas of perfection. Even her ultimate plan was to assimilate the entire cosmos into herself so she could make it "perfect" — which, given her monstrous personality and utter disdain for anything and anyone she deemed "imperfect", is as bad as it sounds. She also loved rubbing her own superiority in people's faces and believed, as a perfect being, she had the right to do whatever she wanted to her lessers. A huge reason why she ultimately failed is because she was too prideful to acknowledge her own failings or see and accept life for what it is, causing her to become increasingly desperate once too many unplanned factors started messing with her plans. Once she is left on the verge of defeat, she, too prideful to consider surrender, ended up putting everything into one final gambit in an act of spite — a gambit that directly leads to her eternal damnation when Rarity/Lucia and Bon Bon/Fasan catch her and deliver her divine soul to the Grand Primevals.
Fate Worse than Death: First, she is trapped for millions of years alone inside a prism at the bottom of the oceans. After her second and final defeat (whereupon she perished via suicide), her divine soul is judged and dragged by the Grand Primevals to Hell-Realms reserved for dead Fallen gods, where she could look forward to being eternally punished by her God of Evil elder relative, Nekelmu, for her crimes.
Faux Affably Evil: On the surface, she's an affable and refined goddess with a love for beautiful things like fancy, elaborate dresses, but deep down she's an utterly sadistic narcissist who saw herself as perfection incarnate due to how she remained unchanged while everything else around her rose and fell in an endless cycle of creation and destruction, and desired to assimilate even the wider cosmos into herself to make it "perfect". She was also a horribly abusive mother who stooped to such lows like molesting her own children and mutilating them if it'll make them perfect in her eyes, as what happened to her firstborn daughter, White Corona.
God in Human Form: Her mortal Pony form is a tall, white-furred unicorn with a rainbow-colored mane and tail. Played with in regards to her 'default' form, which is an Alicorn goddess with a mane and tail composed of rainbow energy. Both forms are used to hide her true form, a massive, peacock-like Eldritch Abomination made of light and with eyes all over her body.
God Is Evil: Despite being a goddess of Primordial Light, Fabric, and Beauty, she's an utterly sadistic and narcissistic sociopath who sees herself as perfection incarnate and planned to assimilate the entire cosmos in order to make it "perfect" by her standards. She's also a horribly abusive mother to her own children, stooping as low as to molest them under the excuse of "purifying" them and essentially mutilating them by cutting away their perceived flaws, as what happened to White Corona. Her entry notes the sheer irony of a goddess and daughter of the Light Primeval herself becoming as evil and depraved as both her wicked cousins, the Children of Erebus, and their deceased progenitor, Erebus, the Darkness Primeval.
God Save Us from the Queen!: She's the founder and ruler of the Silk Road empire, a highly prosperous empire that specialized in trading and producing high-quality silks, clothing, and other fabrics. She's also an utterly evil and sadistic narcissist who horribly abused her own children and tried assimilating the entire cosmos into herself to make it "perfect" by her standards.
Good Powers, Bad People: She's a goddess who embodies Primordial Light, Fabric, and Beauty, which are all 'good' domains. Unfortunately, she happens to be a monstrously abusive parent and a sociopathic, sadistic narcissist who believes herself to be the pinnacle of perfection. Many of her divine and demi-divine children suffered from extensive physical, mental, and sexual abuse that she justified as "purifying" them and making them more "perfect" in her eyes.
Healing Factor: As a goddess of Fabric, she can "stitch" herself back together as a healing factor of sorts, making her extremely hard to kill on top of being an incredibly ancient and powerful goddess.
Hoist by Her Own Petard: Many of her actions came back to bite her because of her sheer evil, pride, and callousness. Her monstrously abusive treatment of her own children — including Wandering Child, who she threw away like trash when it appeared her then-infant daughter died from her experiments — caused many of them to despise and betray her. Her Evil Gloating and Sadist tendencies have distracted her many times, leaving her open to being attacked, which factored into her first defeat and sealing. Her narcissism convinced her that she is perfection itself and her plans are absolute, leaving her utterly blind to unaccounted factors like Wandering Child surviving to adulthood and the intervention of her benevolent children. Even her death was a costly mistake on her part, as by killing herself to invoke a Thanatos Gambit, she is left vulnerable to Rarity/Lucia and Bon Bon/Fasan, who are both able to contain her essence and deliver her to the Grand Primevals to receive judgement.
Hot Goddess: She's noted to be extremely beautiful, whether in her Unicorn and Alicorn forms or her true divine form as an eldritch goddess, and adding to her beauty is her preference for fancy, elaborate dresses and outfits. Unfortunately, Beauty Is Bad as she is a monstrously sociopathic narcissist who saw herself as the epitome of perfection and sought to assimilate the entire cosmos to make it "perfect" by her standards.
Hypocrite:
- She saw herself as perfection incarnate due to being a goddess who is above the cycle of creation and destruction, and sought to assimilate the entire universe into herself to get rid of what she saw as its "flaws". Not only was her father a mortal sapient creature, but a huge factor in her downfall — and eventual death and damnation — is her utter refusal to acknowledge (or accept) that even someone like her has flaws.
- During her first battle with Rose Regalia, she insults her daughter's fused form, referring to it as "stitching some pretty looking scraps onto a cheap dress". She ends up "stitching" the remains of an eldritch god she found one day onto herself to further enhance her own powers.
- She sees her beatdowns of her own children as "disciplining" them. However, she essentially lost the right to call herself a mother the moment she decided to mutilate and abuse her children in the name of perfection. Rarity/Lucia even points out that while she's many things, a mother isn't what she should be called.
  Silk Dawn: (snarling) Don't you know it's impolite to interrupt a mother disciplining her daughters?!
  Princess Lucia: You are many things, but a mother isn't a word I would use.
- For all her love for fashion and promotion of it, she also corrupted fashion into a tool of destruction, suffering, and death. Not only did she use her domain of Fabric to essentially mutilate her own children to make them "perfect", but she also created "God Thread", which empowered its wearers yet corrupted them into vicious, predatory entities just like her due to her vile morality influencing her own creation. Her blatant misuse of fashion is what provoked Rarity/Lucia and Bon Bon/Fasan, both of them demigoddesses with the right powers to counter her, to join in stopping her.
Immortality Begins at Twenty: Subverted. Deities in the Codexverse, while immortal, still 'age' by becoming more powerful and more eldritch as they get older. As a goddess who is over a hundred million years old, she's incredibly strong, powerful, and experienced owing to her being a Fallen daughter of Urun, the Light Primeval, and it took multiple benevolent deities and heroes to bring her down in the "Silk Dawn Crisis".
In the Back: Just like Ragyō Kiryūin, she is later betrayed and beheaded by her daughter, May Shore, who secretly despised her for everything done to her, her father, and nameless younger sister (who turned out to be May Shore's rival, Wandering Child) and was pretending to be loyal to her mother while waiting for the right time to strike. Unfortunately for May Shore, she didn't anticipate her mother being an ancient goddess in disguise, leading to her getting effortlessly demolished.
In Their Own Image: The reason why she wanted to enact her Assimilation Plot is because she is utterly convinced that she is perfection incarnate due to being an immortal, unchanging goddess, and thus wants to make the entire universe "perfect" according to her standards. Considering that her idea of perfection is the total absence of flaws and that she's a monstrously vile, egotistic sociopath, her plan would have inflicted a horrible Fate Worse than Death to all her victims.
It's All About Me: Like Ragyō, she is a sociopath with a huge ego and a total Lack of Empathy for others. However, in her case, she's a goddess who came to see herself as perfection incarnate while everyone is preordained to be born and die in a neverending cycle, which in her eyes gave her the right to trample over everyone as she pleased. Everyone is seen as either expendable pawns, playthings to satiate her sadistic urges, or flawed beings that she must fix, which fuels her monstrously abusive behavior towards her own children. Even her Evil Plan is this at its core, as it involves parasitically spreading herself across universes and assimilating them into herself so she could make them perfect by her standards, inflicting a Fate Worse than Death to everyone caught up in it. Once she is defeated and her Assimilation Plot in complete ruins, she chooses to kill herself as part of a Thanatos Gambit rather than admit that even someone like her has flaws and thus is still part of the cycle she saw as beneath her.
Large and in Charge: She was the founder and ruler of the 'Silk Road' empire, and her true divine form is a gigantic, peacock-like entity made of light. Even her Unicorn and Alicorn forms are quite tall.
Laser-Guided Karma: After abusing, terrorizing, and 'perfecting' both her divine and demi-divine children according to her own twisted ideals of perfection, many of said children would eventually turn against her and actively oppose her, leading to two decisive defeats on her end.
Light 'em Up: As a goddess of Primordial Light, she is capable of the same light manipulation that all Light deities can do, such as firing powerful energy rays, conjuring up shields, and creating Hard Light constructs. However, her entry states that her domain of Primordial Light puts her on another level than an ordinary Light deity, since she embodies light in a 'purer' form similar to how Primordial Quintessence is a purer form of magic.
Light Is Not Good: She's a goddess of Primordial Light and a daughter of the Light Primeval, with her true divine form being a massive, peacock-like entity made of light with eyes all over her body. She's also a monstrous, egotistic villain with virtually zero redeeming qualities. The end of her entry even compares her to the deceased Erebus, who likewise became monstrous him/her/themself despite being a Fallen Grand Primeval who embodied Primordial Darkness.
Like Father, Unlike Son:
- She was once a dutiful, benevolent, and loyal daughter of Urun, the Light Primeval who helped her mother promote light, beauty, and the advancement of fabric and clothing. But after countless eons of watching civilizations, beings, and races rise and fall in an endless cycle of creation and destruction, she became convinced that she is perfection incarnate, stroking her ego and gradually turning her into an utterly sadistic and egotistic Fallen goddess.
- In a roundabout way, many of her own divine and demi-divine children, such as Rose Regalia, May Shore, and Wandering Child, ended up becoming respected heroes in their own right despite suffering horrific abuse under her for much of their lives. Even those who were previously loyal to her, such as Blue Diadem, Yellow Barding, and White Corona, eventually betrayed her after realizing she was a horrible mother and person and that she needed to be stopped before she hurt anyone else.
Magic Hair: In her Alicorn form, she has a mane and tail composed of rainbow energy.
The Maker: At one point before her Fall, she created an early species whose members have the instinct to wear and make clothing. It is now extinct.
Master of Threads: As a goddess of Fabric, she can generate and manipulate fabric on a massive scale, using it as tendrils, weapons, and armor. However, she can turn other things into fabric and either "tailor" them together or split them apart, which she used in horrifying experiments on many innocent creatures, including her own children in the name of perfection. Her domain also gives her a sort of Healing Factor that allows her to "stitch" herself back together whenever she got severely injured, as May Shore learned the hard way. It's also thanks to her domain that she developed her God Thread, converting her own fur and hair into a magical fabric that empowers its wearers and giving them unique abilities, including herself.
Meaningful Name: As a goddess of Primordial Light and Fabric, her names reflect her divine nature.
- Her original name, Sericum Aurora, is a twofold example. "Sericum" is a Latin term referring to Chinese goods, especially silk. "Aurora" refers to the aurora, a natural light display seen at high latitudes. It also refers to her divine nature as a goddess of Primordial Light, Fabric, and Beauty, as well as her heritage as an ancient daughter of Urun, the Light Primeval.
- Her Pony alias, Silk Dawn, has elements of her original name, with "Dawn" referring to the twilight before sunrise. It refers to how she created an incredibly wealthy empire through the trade of high-quality silks and other fabrics. She adopted this name to hide herself from her mother, who would go after her if she learned her wayward Fallen daughter managed to escape her imprisonment. It's also the English translation of Ragyō Kiryūin.
Misanthrope Supreme: Much like Ragyō Kiryūin, she is utterly contemptuous of all life and sees it as "imperfect", having witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations, beings, and even sapient races in an endless cycle despite her own efforts to promote beauty, life, and the advancement of fabric and clothing. This gradually convinced her that she, as an immortal, ancient goddess, is perfection itself, which would worsen her preexisting pride and turn her into a Fallen goddess. Her main goal was to assimilate the entire Equusian galaxy and even the wider cosmos into herself to make everything "perfect", and during the final battle with her, she went into a Motive Rant about how everything beautiful was predestined to be destroyed one day.
Motive Rant: During her final battle, she proceeded to rant about how all beautiful things are predestined to rise and then later be destroyed in an endless cycle, exposing how utterly egotistic and megalomaniacal she is.
Silk Dawn: Look at this blue world! At the shining sun! At the twinkling stars! This is the cosmos! But even this beautiful vista will one day be destroyed. Creation and destruction. They have been preordained since this galaxy was born.
"Not So Different" Remark: Despite High King Irminsul being good (for a certain value of 'good'), she recognizes and admires him for trying to make "perfect" and "flawless" children, even resorting to utterly deplorable means to do so. This horrifies and disgusts Irminsul, who tries to deny it, but Silk Dawn sees right through it.
Silk Dawn: (to High King Irminsul) We both made some modifications to our children, trying to weed out their imperfections to get our perfect heir, and threw away what didn't work like a shirt that doesn't fit. I admire your ambition.
Oh, Crap!: She gasps in horror when her mother, Urun, arrives to discipline her after being notified of her atrocities by Rose Regalia, and that Rose Regalia was fighting her simply to buy Urun time. She then tries to flee, but a well-placed pink dome from Rose Regalia distracts her long enough for Urun to bind and imprison her.
One-Winged Angel: Despite having donned a very powerful God Robe created by Stitching Thread that has the power to control all God Threads, she ends up being impaled by Wandering Child's God Robe, Fresh Blood, who turned out to be immune to her power. This forced her to unveil her true, eldritch divine form, but to her fury, she is interrupted by the arrival of Rose Regalia and her friends.
Parental Incest: On top of physical and emotional abuse, she also saw nothing wrong with forcing herself on her own children for her sadistic pleasure. One of her victims is her daughter, Rose Regalia.
Pimped-Out Dress: She constantly wears fancy, over-the-top dresses, among other outfits.
Pride: One of her biggest character traits is her ego. While she was already prideful pre-Fall, witnessing the constant rise and fall of numerous civilizations, beings, and races in an endless cycle took a toll on her mind, stroking her ego until she became convinced that she is perfection incarnate. In her mind, everything is preordained to be born and die, while beings like her are omniscient and unchanging, making her superior to all life and thus giving her the right to judge others as she sees fit. Her pride ends up factoring into her downfall as she is so convinced of her own perfection that she is utterly blind to her own flaws, and ignorant of the strengths of those she deems "inferior". Once she's weakened and cornered, rather than admit defeat, she kills herself and scatters pieces of her divine essence across the cosmos to spite her enemies... she just forgot to take into account that both Rarity/Lucia and Bon Bon/Fasan have unique powers that can counter hers and contain her divine essence.
Proud Peacock: Her true form is a massive, glowing entity made of light that resembles a peacock, with multiple eyes all over her body. She is also a huge narcissist (no pun intended) who sees herself as the pinnacle of perfection, which she believes gives her the right to judge sapientkind and everything else for their flaws and do whatever she wants with them. She is also a horribly abusive mother who affected her children with her ridiculous standards of perfection, whether physically, magically, or sexually.
Rank Scales with Asskicking: Silk Dawn is not only the ruler and founder of the Silk Road Empire, which specializes in trading/producing high-quality cloth, silk, and other fabrics, but she's also an ancient, "Primeval"-ranked goddess who is a daughter of Urun, the Light Primeval. Her power is such that during the "Silk Dawn Crisis", it took even many powerful, benevolent deities (including her own divine children, many who betrayed her for constantly abusing them) to defeat her — which is far more than what it took to defeat Ragyō Kiryūin.
Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Like Ragyō Kiryūin, she molested and sexually abused her own children, which she excused as "purifying" them, but in truth she was a huge sadist and thus delighted in making her children suffer. Understandably, many of her children suffered trauma from being violated for much of their lives — one of them, Rose Regalia, ended up empathizing with young Rosy Dreams for having a sexually abusive parent before being rescued by the Terran Princes.
Sadist: One of her defining traits of her character, and one of the reasons why she is so despicable. She won't waste an opportunity to rub her superiority into the faces of her enemies and victims, and her familial relationships with her own children were filled with emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. In regards to the latter, she excused it as wanting to "purify" her children, but it's very obvious that she gets off from dominating them and seeing their suffering.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: She tries to flee after her mother, Urun, the Light Primeval, arrives to discipline her, but was stopped by a well-placed pink dome created by Rose Regalia. Though only for a few moments, she was distracted long enough for Urun to bind and imprison her.
Sealed Evil in a Can: For her crimes, Urun, the Light Primeval had her sealed in a prism and sent to the darkest depths of the ocean, where she remained for millions of years. Unfortunately, she managed to escape her prison in the Fourth Age, though she would lay low for a while under a different name to avoid unwanted attention, least of all Urun, who would be rightly enraged to hear of her Fallen daughter's escape.
The Sociopath: Like Ragyō Kiryūin, she is a textbook sociopath. Convinced that she is perfection incarnate due to her being an immortal, unchanging goddess, she believed she had the right of way to do whatever she wanted to those she deemed "imperfect" — including her own children, many who were indoctrinated by her to follow her twisted standards of perfection no matter how much it broke them. She's an utter sadist who gets off from seeing people in pain, even if it's by her own hands, and frequently molests her children to satisfy her urges which she tries to excuse as "purifying" them of their own flaws. She saw everyone around her as pawns to use and discard as she pleased, callously throwing away the infant Wandering Child, one of her daughters, like trash when it appeared she died from her experiments, and having her husband at the time killed when he betrayed and opposed her for it. During the final, climatic battle of the "Silk Dawn Crisis", she goes into a Motive Rant on how everything (and everyone) is fated to rise and fall in a never-ending cycle of creation and destruction, exposing the full extent of her narcissistic megalomania.
Thanatos Gambit: After her Evil Plan was completely foiled and she herself was left battered and weakened by heroic forces, she killed herself and scattered pieces of her own divine essence to other worlds in desperation, hoping that one of said pieces might return one day to avenge her. Fortunately, both Rarity/Lucia and Bon Bon/Fasan intercepted and contained all of her fragments, allowing her soul to be captured, judged, and sent straight to be punished eternally in the Hell-Realms reserved for Fallen deities by the Grand Primevals.
Time Abyss: She's a "Primeval"-ranked goddess who is over a hundred million years old, her existence being at the dawn of sapientkind. Of note, her father was the first sapient being to create and wear rudimentary clothing.
Unholy Matrimony: At one point, she became one of Morning Star's many lovers during his own Fall, as their beliefs and desires to make the world and/or the entire cosmos "perfect" resonated with each other. Their union led to the birth of Rose Regalia, who ultimately chose to betray both of her parents and stop them from enacting their plans. It's unknown whether or not they genuinely loved each other or merely got along for the sake of their own twisted ambitions.
Villainous Breakdown:
- She realizes too late that Rose Regalia had informed Urun, the Light Primeval of her crimes and served as a distraction until she came. When Urun finally arrived, she tries to flee the area, knowing she can't beat her mother in a one-on-one fight. A conveniently-placed barrier generated by Rose stops her long enough for Urun to bind and imprison her at the bottom of the see.
- Ages later, she goes into a prolonged one as her attempts to enact her Assimilation Plot are repeatedly interrupted and foiled by her enemies, including her own children who she abused and tormented for their entire lives. Due to her pride, she gets increasingly enraged and desperate as she tries to gain an advantage. After she is finally weakened, cornered, and on her last legs, she kills herself and scatters her own divine essence across worlds as part of a Thanatos Gambit, hoping one of her pieces would rise up and return to avenge her.
- She also ends up greatly weakened when Bon Bon's powers as demigoddess of Conscience forces her to feel guilt for all the horrible things she did. Unfortunately, she has long become too wicked and vile by this point to act on that guilt, which directly contributes to her eventual fate.
- She also flies into a rage when Moon Ray/Canticum not only points out the hypocrisy in her beliefs, but also predicts that she, too, will eventually fall like so many others did, indicating that even she is not above the natural cycle as she thinks she is. Even long after his rescue, Moon Ray/Canticum's words left a huge mark on her psyche, contributing to her eventual defeat, death, and eternal damnation.
Villainous Incest: As a testament to how monstrous she is as a person, she willingly molests and sexually abuses her own children to satisfy her own sadistic urges, and justifies it with the excuse of "purifying" them. Many of her children who suffered this treatment, like Rose Regalia, were left understandably traumatized.
Villain Respect: She approved of High King Irminsul's similarly twisted standards of perfection and efforts in making his own children "perfect", such as his failed attempt to purify his unborn son High King Bogolenya of his inner flaws in-utero. Irminsul was left horrified and shaken by this.
High King Irminsul: You... you... what did you do?!
Silk Dawn: What? All I did was do a little stitching when she was still developing.
High King Irminsul: You used your children as experiments! Like dolls you could change however you see fit!
Silk Dawn: You mean like you did with your son?
High King Irminsul: ...D-Don't you compare us, you monstrosity!
Silk Dawn: We both made some modifications to our children, trying to weed out their imperfections to get our perfect heir, and threw away what didn't work like a shirt that doesn't fit. I admire your ambition.
White Hair, Black Heart: Both her Unicorn and Alicorn forms have white fur in reference to her true form being made of light. Unfortunately, she's a Fallen goddess and an utterly sadistic and narcissistic sociopath who saw herself as the epitome of perfection, and thus killed and mutilated even her own children to make them perfect. Her ultimate plan was to spread herself assimilate the entire cosmos like a parasite in her attempt to "perfect" what she deemed to be a flawed universe.
Winged Unicorn: Her "default" divine form (and disguise) is an Alicorn goddess with a mane and tail composed of rainbow energy.
Xenafication: Ragyō Kiryūin was already a powerful woman due to her Life Fiber DNA, her Kamui outfits, and her devastating combat skill that surpasses even that of her daughters. Here, she's an ancient, "Primeval"-ranked goddess of Primordial Light, Fabric, and Beauty who is a daughter of one of the oldest deities alive, requiring even the likes of equally powerful, benevolent deities (such as her own children, who betrayed her for her constant abuse of them) to take her down for good.
"You!" Exclamation: She growls this when she reveals her true form to fight May Shore and Wandering Child, only to be interrupted by the arrival of her other daughter, Rose Regalia, and her friends.
(Pink energy explodes, covering a portion of the sky)
Wandering Child: What now?!
Silk Dawn (growling) You...
(Rose Regalia arrives in her true form, carrying her own friends)
Rose Regalia: Hello, mother. I see that you're up to your old tricks again.

The Stork, Bringer of New Life

Classification: Ethereal

Portfolio: Life, Birth, Safety

Rank: Primeval/Preeminent

"Where there are cries for new beginnings, I deliver."

The Stork (her entry here

) is the Stork goddess of Life, Birth, and Safety whose primary roles are that of a protector and gentle deliverer.

All-Loving Hero: Reconstructed. Like her mother, Vita, the Life Primeval, she loves all life — with newborn children being the ultimate representation of that — and believes it should be cherished and protected. Thus, she views all forms of discrimination, including racism, as a "foolish, mortal invention". She loves even vile beings like the Autorists, though she recognizes their crimes against life and thus punishes them like a mother does to her disobedient children. This lends to her belief that Living Is Morethan Surviving, which she has been helping the Changelings with.
Animalistic Abomination: It's implied that her form as a Stork is one she takes when around mortals and lesser deities, and that her true form is much more eldritch, as evidenced by her gigantic size and the glowing markings all over her body.
Anthropomorphic Personification: She's a Stork goddess who embodies Life, Birth, and Safety.
Back from the Dead: As a goddess of Life, she can restore the life-force of others if she chooses and is capable of resurrecting the dead. However, due to Primeval Law forbidding the denial of a proper afterlife for the dead, she can only resurrect people under specific circumstances.
Barrier Warrior: As a goddess of Safety, she can project powerful barriers capable of tanking extreme damage. Since she is an ancient and powerful goddess, this means her barriers can ward off even divine attacks, save for those whose are far older and/or powerful than herself.
Beware the Nice Ones: Due to her nature as a Friend to All Children and All-Loving Hero, she despises those who willingly and cruelly forsake life, such as people harming their own innocent children (especially the children she personally delivered to them). By extension, she hates Fantastic Racism and other forms of Irrational Hatred, as she sees the idea of people being less deserving of life than others for whatever reason as a "foolish, mortal invention" created by bigots to justify their harmful beliefs. When she found a particularly vile Autorist faction that attempted to sterilize creatures they deemed "unworthy" for being of another race, she undid their actions and unleashed her wrath upon the Autorists, all while saving the captives.
Blue-and-Orange Morality: While she's genuinely kind, motherly, and nurturing, her sheer age makes her incredibly eldritch, and thus appears noticeably "off" to others.
Cool Big Sis: Ironically, despite her domains and motherly personality, she treats the children she guides to their potential parents as her younger siblings. This is because as the bringer of new life, she knows (with few exceptions) that the children under her care are not hers to take.
Delivery Stork: She's essentially the divine representation of the concept, being a huge, white-feathered Stork goddess who creates and delivers children to couples who desire them, but can't have due to various reasons. However, her capabilities aren't just related to that; as a goddess of Life and Birth, she also helps ensure safe births and restore the ability to produce offspring in those who were cruelly sterilized by malicious and/or bigoted people.
Disappointed in You: When angry, she proceeds to scold the target(s) of her ire like a mother would her misbehaving children. While it's part of her divine nature, she's also genuinely disappointed that people would willingly choose to forsake life by doing awful things to others instead of treasuring life as she wanted them to.
Divine Parentage: Her mother is Vita, the Life Primeval, who created her singularly from Life's essence.
A Dog Named "Dog": She's a Stork goddess called... "The Stork".
Fertile Feet: Exaggerated. As a goddess of Life, she is capable of making dead areas bustle with new life. That she is capable of doing it with her mere presence speaks of how old and powerful she is.
Fertility God: Subverted. While she embodies Life and can make dead areas bustle with new life via sheer presence, she specifically embodies the genesis of new life, as shown by her domain of Birth.
Fountain of Youth: As a goddess of Life, she can revert others back to their childhood, effectively reincarnating them.
Friend to All Children: She's very fond of children, and is known to be accompanied by a flock of orphans who she gathers from across the world and keeps under her protective wings. She believes that Living Is More than Surviving and that life itself should be protected, which is why she ferries children to loving families. However, despite her motherly demeanor, she acts more like a Cool Big Sis to the children she ferries because, save for a few exceptions, she knows they're not hers to take. Part of her duty as a Delivery Stork also involves creating newborn children for those unable to sire children of their own for various reasons, like miscarriages or being sterilized by malicious/bigoted people. Thus, she is genuinely enraged whenever the parents she gave a child to choose to forsake her gift by acting like Abusive Parents, upon which she ferries the abused child way to a much better family. She was also responsible for inspiring and helping Queen Majesty create the Foal-Making Mirror, which Majesty herself confirmed.
Gentle Giant: Being so old, she's a gigantic Stork goddess. She's also a motherly goddess who is an All-Loving Hero and a Friend to All Children who believes that everyone deserves to have a child, and that all life, especially newborns, should be cherished and protected... though ironically she acts more like a Cool Big Sis to the children she ferries as, save for a few exceptions, she knows they're not hers to take. Incurring her wrath is not a good idea.
God Is Good: She's a compassionate and motherly goddess who seeks out those who are incapable of having a child for various reasons so she could answer their desires to raise a child of their own. She loves and cherishes all life, and is a Friend To Living Children known for being constantly accompanied by a flock of childen waiting to be ferried to loving families. She also believes that people should live and enjoy life to the fullest instead of focusing solely on survival, as doing the latter is a waste of one's life, and has been helping people overcome their fears. However, she despises those who choose to deprive others of the ability to have children or become Abusive Parents to their own children, which she sees as an utter violation of life itself.
God of Good: She's a Stork goddess who embodies Life, Birth, and Safety, referring to her duty as a Delivery Stork and her belief that all life, including newborn infants, should be cherished and protected.
Healing Factor: As a goddess of Life, she has a nigh-instant healing factor due to how old she is; it's ambiguous whether or not she's actually capable of dying or being killed.
Immortality Begins at Twenty: Subverted, as deities only get Stronger with Age in the Codexverse. As a "Primeval/Preeminent"-ranked goddess, she's either roughly the same age as Canteros, one of her cousins, or perhaps even older, making her incredibly ancient by divine standards. She's also pretty eldritch, though that isn't made apparent at first glance due to her constantly appearing as a Stork.
Life Drinker: As a goddess of Life, she is capable of draining her victims' life-force, reducing them to elderly beings.
Living Is More than Surviving: Due to her nature and duties, she sees life itself as precious and wants people to treasure it by living to the fullest. To focus purely on surviving is to forget the point of living. This is why she devoted herself to helping Changelingkind overcome their martyrdom culture — she is both deeply sympathetic with their hardships and heartbroken over seeing them sacrifice even each other if it'll allow their people to survive.
The Magnificent: Known as "Bringer of New Life", due to her being a Stork goddess who delivers children to those who suffered miscarriages or couldn't sire children biologically.
Mark of the Supernatural: She has glowing markings on various parts of her body, implying that whatever her true divine form is, it likely isn't a Stork.
Mysterious Past: Justified; due to being incredibly ancient, much of her life was lost to time, with many legends and myths providing speculation on how she came to be and what her early life was like. What is certain is that she's a daughter of Vita, the Life Primeval, born around the same time as her cousins Wolf and Lamb.
Mystical White Hair: She's a Stork with pure white feathers, which highlights her divinity and otherworldly nature.
Our Gods Are Different: She's an "Ethereal" goddess, born when Vita, the Life Primeval, created her singularly from Life's essence. And like all deities in the Codexverse, she only gets Stronger with Age, which shows in her becoming incredibly powerful and eldritch.
Personality Powers: She's a Stork goddess who embodies Life, Birth, and Safety. This not only refers to her duty as a Delivery Stork, but also her beliefs that all life, especially newborn children, is precious and should be cherished and protected.
Reincarnation:
- As a goddess of Birth, she can create newborn children using the essence of either a single parent or multiple parents if they desired, due to being incapable of having children naturally for various reasons. It's implied through several legends (though unconfirmed) that she could even create newborn children using the life essence of those who artificially extended their own lives yet ended up slain by Wolf and Lamb, effectively reincarnating them.
- As a goddess of Life, she also can achieve this by revert others back to their childhood, effectively reincarnating them.
Sizeshifter: She can make herself as small as a Pony or as large as a mountain, depending on the situation.
Stronger with Age: Deities age this way in the Codexverse, and she is no different. As one of the oldest(?) daughters of Vita, the Life Primeval, she's incredibly powerful, so much that provoking her wrath is ill-advised.
Time Abyss: Much like Canteros, her cousin, she's an extremely ancient goddess whose divine rank is either "Primeval", "Preeminent", or somewhere in-between. This makes her as old as Equusian sapientkind or perhaps even older.
Tranquil Fury: When she is genuinely enraged, she never raises her voice and speaks to the target(s) of her ire like a disappointed mother. This is best shown in how she dealt with a particularly vile Autorist faction that attempted to sterilize "unworthy" creatures, scolding them like a mother to her misbehaving children before undoing their actions and unleashing her wrath upon the Autorists.

Thrýlos, the Giant of Legend

Classification: Ethereal

Portfolio: Cosmic Energy, Justice, Mercy

Rank: ???

"Impossible...!"

— Cosmos, the Serpent of Obsession, upon witnessing Thrýlos' manifestation during the "Cosmos Incident".

Thrýlos (his entry here

) is the Giant god of Cosmic Energy, Mercy, and Justice, and is an ancient yet mysterious deity whom people know very little about.

Anthropomorphic Personification: He's a Giant god who embodies Cosmic Energy, Justice, and Mercy.
Fusion Dance: He's formed by Eiríni and Dikastí merging into one, though it's implied more accurately that they're him divided in two.
Wave-Motion Gun: His first act upon being formed against Cosmos was to blow a hole in her and send her flying across the subcontinent with one of these.

Tlalcuaz, the Hungry Goddess

Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Implied, as she was described as a reptile-like goddess whose hunger and disposition is just as bad, if not worse, than Díniydátis's.
Worthy Opponent: Attempts to eat each other aside, she genuinely respects Díniydátis for her prowess and was impressed by it so much that she taught the cursed goddess how to spawn more mouths on her body, both for combat and consumption.

Want

Classification: Ethereal

Portfolio: Want, Desperation, Poverty

Rank: Divine (Titan/???)

"Whoa ca' I lloa? I lloa... a' fao oanna'llrocghoc faiy rliy 'rla'hom', oac a' fao oaonoc ra'm llhoa I oarl." ^note

Want (her entry here

) is the Alicorn(?) goddess of Want, Desperation, and Poverty, and is the twin sister of Ignorance.

Anthropomorphic Personification: She's an Alicorn(?) goddess who embodies Want, Desperation, and Poverty. More literal than most divines, as Morning Star literally made her from Sapientkind's collective want, desperation, and poverty.
As Long as There Is Evil: As long as there is poverty and desperation, she will likely never die.
Blue-and-Orange Morality: Want is not genuinely malevolent, more she has an extremely alien mindset and might not even know herself why she does what she does.
A Dog Named "Dog": Want is an Alicorn(?) goddess who embodies... Want.
The Heartless: Morning Star created her from his essence combined with Sapientkind's collective want, desperation, and poverty.
Logical Weakness: As a being of want, desperation, and poverty, she is weakened by acts of generocity.

White Corona, the Light of Perfection

Classification: Ethereal/Elemental

Portfolio: Primordial Light, Perfection, Mind

Rank: Preeminent

Anthropomorphic Personification: She's a goddess who embodies Primordial Light, Perfection, and Mind.
Crossover Relatives: In canon, she's implied to be a mother figure (if an abusive one) for the other Diamonds. Here, she's the older biological sister of Yellow Barding and Blue Diadem who had to become a Parental Substitute in place of their own mother, Silk Dawn.
The Magnificent: Known as "the Light of Perfection".

Xenophobia, the Vessel of Hatred

Classification: ???

Portfolio: Fear, Intolerance, Irrational Hatred

Rank: ???

Xenophobia (first introduced here

) is the goddess of Fear, Intolerance, and Irrational Hatred, and is one of the biggest threats Equusian sapientkind has ever faced during the Fourth Age's "Time of Trials".

Anthropomorphic Personification: She's a goddess who embodies Fear, Intolerance, and Irrational Hatred.
Batman Gambit: She's very good at manipulating the racist and intolerant. Shown when she easily manipulates Lord Chancellor Hatur to try and kill the Equestrian diplomatic party, an action that would likely provoke a larger conflict between the two nations had it not be twarted.
Be Careful What You Wish For: Invoked by Xenophobia herself once she revealed her existence and attempts to enact her terrible plans, believing she is only doing what her 'parents' - Sapientkind - wanted in their fear and hatred of anyone not themselves.
Xenophobia: This is what you wanted, isn't it? Your fear...your hate. You wanted it loosed upon everyone. You wanted something to separate everyone. i'M oNlY DoInG wHaT yOu wAnTeD!!!
Exact Words: When manipulating she tends to speak in ways that, while implying the narrative she desires, are never flat out lies, merely echoing what her victim wants to hear.
Fantastic Racism: The fear, hatred and intolerance of the Fourth Age, especially from the likes of the Tribalists and Autorists, during the century-spanning Time of Trials of the time ultimately resulted in Xenophobia's birth.
Humans Are Bastards: She's essentially the embodiment of mortal sapientkind's fear, intolerance and hatred for one another because of their differences. Hence her name.
Irrational Hatred: One of her domains is Irrational Hatred, representing the hatred people bear against others for the most trivial of reasons, such as race or tribe.
Killed Off for Real: Tuzu’s entry reveals that she is ultimately defeated and killed, as one of the final obstacles faced before sapientkind could ‘reach the stars’.
Made of Evil: According to her creator, she's essentially the embodiment of the Fourth Age's recurring problem with racism and xenophobia made flesh.
Meaningful Name: "Xenophobia" refers to a person's strong dislike or hatred of people from other countries or, in fiction, other races. Xenophobia is the divine embodiment of the fear and hatred stoked by racial/tribal hate groups such as Tribalists and Autorists, and thus seeks nothing more than to discourage racial co-existence on behalf of her 'parents'.
No-Sell: Anything that has ever been used for racism or irrational hatred can affect her, and she can even turn it against them.
Person of Mass Destruction: She's mentioned to be monstrously powerful due to the sheer amount of hatred, racism, and xenophobia she's spent the entire Time of Trials feeding on.
Shattered World: Her last resort, the Ultimate Severance, is a spell formed from every bit of hatred, irrational hatred, and fear of others from across the entire Fourth Age to shatter Equus and magically separate all the races to their own Floating Continents.

Zhōnglì, the Sage of Neutrality

Classification: Ethereal

Portfolio: Neutrality, Truth, Fair Say

Rank: Primeval

"The best way of achieving untainted wisdom is to be above, beneath, and be neither side of it all."

Zhōnglì (his entry here

) is the Draconequus god of Neutrality, Truth, and Fair Say, and is an extremely enigmatic yet wise deity.

Above Good and Evil: Described as such by his profile. Unlike Emperor Blackthorn, who claims to be this trope yet is an extremely amoral individual, Zhōnglì merely sees "good" and "evil" as concepts and ideas, and as such, he is considered to be truly above good and evil in that he takes neither side, merely acting as an unbiased observer.
Anthropomorphic Personification: He's a Draconequus god who embodies Neutrality, Truth, and Fair Say.

Zkáza, the Destroyer

Classification: Ethereal

Portfolio: Destruction, Decay, Pollution

Rank: N/A

"I love people - they're delicious! The way the mortals foul their own gardens - they choke themselves in their own wastes, and I grow fat from their wanton destruction and degradation."

Zkáza (his entry here

) is the Fallen Draconequus god of Destruction, Decay, and Pollution, and a brother of Pakak, the Draconequus god of Mischief.

Anthropomorphic Personification: He's a Fallen Draconequus god who embodies Destruction, Decay, and Pollution. He was also once seen as "Nature's Wrath", as he was the living consequence of unrestricted destruction of natural environments, such as landslides resulting from extreme deforestation and sinkholes resulting from overmining. However, like Ispita, he became a Fallen god because he eventually grew to love his role too much, and perpetuated destruction and ruin for the sake of them where he once used them as warnings.
The Magnificent: Known as "the Destroyer".
Make Them Rot: A god of pollution and decay, he can make anything he touches rot.
Meaningful Name: His name translates to "destruction", "ruin", and/or "corruption" in Czech.
