Yog-Sothoth

Yog-Sothoth, also known as the The Key and the Gate or The Lurker at the Threshold, is an Outer God and a principal deity from the Lovecraftian Pantheon and the embodiment of time and space across an essentially infinite number of space-time continuums, allowing her to be connected to the multiverse itself. 
She is also the chieftain god of the Lovecraftian Pantheon. She is the Goddess of Fate, Space, Time, Magic, Wisdom, Knowledge and Amorality. She is the Mother Goddess of the Pantheon, responsible for the birth of countless minor deities, known as the Great Old One.
She is the first-born daughter of the Outer Oneiro, Nameless Mist and Unnamed Darkness - Primordials and the first-born children of the Azathoth, the Father of the Outer Gods and Ycnágnnisssz, the Mother of the Outer Gods. 
She is the consort of her twin-sister, Shub-Niggurath. both of whom gave rise to countless monster gods known as the Great Old Ones, one of the most famous Great Old Ones being Cthulhu, her grandson. The most remarkable fact about Yog-Sothoth is that unlike the other Old Ones, she appears to be a benevolent and just entity, but beyond that, it's her power.
==Overview==
Yog-Sothoth was born from the Nameless Mist, one of the offspring of Azathoth alongside the Unnamed Darkness and Nyarlathotep. She is also the progenitor of Cthulhu, Hastur the Unspeakable and the ancestor of the Voormi. She is also the 'father' of Wilbur Whateley and Dunwich Horror. 
She was formed from the energy of Azathoth, in order to battle both God and Chaos, and is the second-in-command of the eldritch Lovecraftian Pantheon only behind Cxaxukluth and the rarely seen Azathoth. She is the Gate, and the Key. The Outer God Yog-Sothoth like Azathoth completely uncaring about what humans do.
She is an unfathomably powerful deity and one of the most powerful of the Outer Gods, a race of ancient deities who wield great power, size and intelligence, as well as the largest and most intelligent—dwarfing the famous Cthulhu in the same scale that Cthulhu dwarfs humanity, and is a truly cosmic menace that is beyond mortal comprehension. 
Yog-Sothoth is the embodiment of all of time and space across an essentially infinite number of space-time continuums. For all intents and purpose, she is connected to the multiverse. She is the 'grandfather' of Cthulhu and the grandson of Azathoth.
Like many Lovecraftian deities, Yog-Sothoth has a number of avatars and even followers (such as the Chorazos Cult) by which to expand his influence. She is an entity of vast knowledge and power, and those who treat with it may learn much; any who do so must be wary, however: as with many of the creatures of the beyond, the mere sight of Yog-Sothoth's full form is sufficient to drive the mortal mind over the edge of insanity.
==Appearance==
Yog-Sothoth appears as a beautiful young woman has long white hair, orange eyes and wears a black and orange hairpin. She wears a white and black short armored dress that is rather thin and tight and has a considerable short skirt. The dress exposes her shoulders and cleavage, it also exposes her legs. 
She also wears an a black (with pink glowing strings) elbow glove on the left hand while she simply uses a white and orange glove on the right hand. Her dress also has a new accessory, she has a fur-trimmed neck made of crow's black fur with a black and golden accessory in front of it. In this new form, she wears black thighhighs that reach just above her knee while she wears a black and yellow shoe made of the same material of her thighhighs.
Like many Lovecraftian deities, Yog-Sothoth has many different appearances throughout the history of the mythos, by various authors. However, there seems to be a common agreement that Yog-Sothoth visually manifests as a mass of glowing orbs, with eyes or tendrils in some versions, and in others simply the orbs.
Like its brethren and children, Yog-Sothoth is thoroughly indescribable and unconcievable, way beyond human comprehension, and those in its presence can only perceive an approximation. it was described in many different ways throughout the various legends. However, there seems to be a common agreement that Yog-Sothoth visually manifests as a mass of glowing orbs that continuously merge, regrow and break apart, with eyes or tendrils in some versions. This shows that despite its locking, Yog-Sothoth is capable of communicating to some extend beyond the "No Space", demonstrating a form of omnipresence as well.
Sometimes, she looks like a huge mass of yellow tendrils and in Beyond the Gates of the Silver Key, he is shown as a large creature with eyes and tendrils. Whatever the case, Yog-Sothoth is among the most eldritch and incomprehensible of even Lovecraftian deities; far surpassing any and all of the Great Old Ones and even other Outer Gods, only matched in sheer power by fellow supreme Outer Gods like Azathoth.
== Personality ==
Yog-Sothoth is the ever-curious one, always wondering what happens if she alters the material world in increasingly creative ways. Her complete disregard to the life of lesser beings stems from the fact that time is meaningless to her. What lesser beings know as past, present and future, are but a fragment of reality, one that is beyond understanding for anyone other than the Outer Gods. If her actions end up causing unintended side-effects, she will simply hop into a different timeline and see how things play out instead.
She believes that the Universe dreamt by her grandfather, Azathoth, is the best reality to ever be created in aeons. The life that came to be and thrived in this cold and unforgiving world interests her the most, to the point its history, its creations and its evolution has kept her eternally busy. Though the material world had infinite possibilities, they were becoming predictable, and her interest was dying down. The new Anomalous Timeline, however, sparked her interest once again, and she promptly put herself to work on exploring the new information just waiting to be assimilated.
Yog-Sothoth, unlike her fellow Old Ones, proved to be a benevolent and peace-loving entity. In fact, some believe that She must ironically be one of the kindest beings in Creation, someone worthy of trust and respect. Something that particularly her siblings and descendants, as she has no contempt for the Deities or human beings, preferring to live in peace among them and even helping them when needed.
This only got worse when Destiny, seeing the incredible power and honesty of Yog-Sothoth, found the Old One worthy enough to serve as Her avatar and spokesperson in Creation. Despite this, the Old Ones admit that they would never attempt anything against Yog-Sothoth due to his indestructible and immeasurable power. Yog-Sothoth also proved to be a friendly person to her family, especially Shub-Nibburath, who fell in love with her and they both "married" and had myriads of children and descendants in Cult of Sodatha.
== History ==
=== Early Life ===
Yog-Sothoth was born directly from Unnamed Darkness and Nameless Mist using the energy of Azathoth, who created all Outer Gods and Great Old Ones in order to battle both God, Khaos and Great Red. Azathoth and the other Old Ones were eventually trapped in the Outerverse.
Yog-Sothoth is said to be the first Outer God that was created due to the fact that it embodies the universe molded by Azathoth and born from the Nameless Mist. And when God witnessed the sort of horrendous and terrible creations that Azathoth and his children are capable of constructing, She waged war against the eternal darkness. 
=== Creation War ===
After the defeat of Azathoth, Yog-Sothoth was imprisoned by God in a what is said to be omni-lock, meaning that it is completely locked away from the current mainstream reality and among other realities, with it being its own reality that inhabits an existence which is not connected to any of the branches of creation and defines both human and inhuman conceptual equations made by the clashing between God, Khaos, Azathoth and Great Red.
=== Imprisonment ===
Yog-Sothoth, alongside most other Outer Gods, are currently trapped in the Orbis Alius by God Himself, from which they can only be released with the Right Hand of Doom, the mysterious key to that dimension.
The key ended up in Abrahamic Underworld at some point, where it was held by Mammon, the :Category:Princes of Hell of who represented Greed. At some point Mammon and Astaroth grafted the key onto a young cambion named Anung un Rama, who would be the only who can truly unleash the ancient deity into the universe. This cambion was later summoned to Earth by Projekt Ragnarok, the final project of the Ahnenerbe, which was led by Grigori Rasputin.
The demons secretly hope that Yog-Sothoth and the other Outer Gods could help them avoid their fate in the Lake of Fire, though whether this is would actually happen is not known, as the ancient deities would likely barley even notice them. Even when trapped, Yog-Sothoth was able to have many children like Wilbur Whateley and Dunwich Horror.
=== Beyond the Gates of the Silver Key ===
Charles Randolph Carter actually meets her, The Gate, the Key, and the Guardian. The encounter makes it very clear that it is the point of view which defines the nature of the interaction; there is nothing inherently evil or frightening about her. She opens the gates of the Multiverse to anyone who is willing to glimpse it and unlike the "nameless devourers" she is not going to harm you or force you into what you do not want. 
She gives Carter the option of leaving or going forward; The price is to see the true or at least partial vastness of what is, a flood of knowledge that overwhelms the current "self". Once Carter is at the nexus of all she is, was and will be, she is distilled into one being: a Wizard in a planet engaged in a battle; yet all Carter wants is to go back to Earth. How limited are we truly, and what does it take to move on beyond?
=== At the Mountains of Madness ===
William Dyer​ and Danforth, after escaping a Shoggoth, leave the Mountains on their plane. Danforth looks back and sees something that causes her to go insane. She refuses to tell anyone (even Dyer) what he saw, though it is implied that it has something to do with what lies beyond the larger mountain range that even the Old Ones feared. It is likely that this entity was an avatar of Yog-Sothoth.
=== Meeting with Lavinia Whateley ===
TBA
=== The Dunwich Horror ===
Yog-Sothoth has some connection to the mysterious Old Ones mentioned in The Dunwich Horror (1929), but their nature, their number, and their connection to Yog-Sothoth are unknown. Nonetheless, they are probably allied to him in some way, since Wilbur Whateley, the half-human son of Yog-Sothoth, tried to summon them so that they could control Wilbur's more tainted twin and make it reproduce.
=== The Haunter of the Dark ===
Robert Blake calls on Yog-Sothoth to save him from the eponymous malign entity which she has let loose.

== Trivia ==
*Yog-Sothoth was created by H.P. Lovecraft, and was first mentioned in The Case of Charles Dexter Ward (written in 1927 and published in 1941).
*H.P. Lovecraft humorously referred to the Cthulhu mythos as the "Yog-Sothothery".
*George Olshevsky and Bruce Chilton named the nonconvex snub polyhedra after some other Great Old Ones, with the Small retrosnub icosicosidodecahedron as "Yog-Sothoth", them being the first to build an accurate physical representation of the polyhedron.
*There are a few who are capable of conversing with him without going mad. One such is his personal chronicler, H.P. Lovecraft. Another is Hermaeus Mora, who shares many similarities to the Outer Gods.
*She is the only Outer God to be portrayed in a benevolent way, as he was not at all evil and is willing to help those he deems worthy.
*She once tried to lock Amatsu-Mikaboshi in the void but that proved to be a mistake as the empowered primordial easily overpowered the Old Ones in her domain forcing him to flee.
