Destiny

Destiny, also known as Potmos, is one of the Primordial Trinity of Origins, representing all aspects, concepts, elements, and ideas under the category of Existence. He is the s the one who wrote all the stories in Multiverse. 
He is the the first and oldest of the Endless. Like the rest of his siblings, Destiny is neither a mortal being nor a god; he is the personification of Destiny itself, representing all aspects, concepts, elements, and ideas under the categories of Time and Fate. 
Destiny is also the eldest brother of the of Departure, Dream, Destruction, Desire, Despair, Delirium, Delete and the husband of Phoxotl - the Primordial Embodiment of Fortune, Fate, Chance, and Lucks. He is the father of Decline - the personification of Decline. 
He carried the Book of Souls chained to his right wrist, which contained all past, present, and future events. He does not leave footprints, nor does he cast a shadow. Destiny's realm is the Garden of Forking Ways, the maze-like paths of which he walks continually. 
== Overview ==
Destiny came into existence once sentient lifeforms capable of having a destiny appeared in the Universe and Multiverse. Destiny was one of the Endless, personifications of ideas and concepts that were tied to life, and were fated to fulfill their functions until the universe ended and all life disappeared from the Cosmos.
Although often used interchangeably, the words "Fate" and "destiny" have distinct connotations.
*Traditional usage defines Fate as a power or agency that predetermines and orders the course of events. Fate defines events as ordered or "inevitable" and unavoidable. This is a concept based on the belief that there is a fixed natural order to the universe, and in some conceptions, the Cosmos. Classical and European mythology feature personified "fate spinners," known as the The Moirai in Greek mythology, the The Parcae in Roman mythology, and the Norns in Norse mythology. They determine the events of the world through the mystic spinning of threads that represent individual human fates. Fate is often conceived as being divinely inspired.
*Fate is about the present, where every decision an individual has made has led them to their present scenario. However, Destiny is the future scenario, which cannot be determined by decisions an individual will make.
* Destiny is used with regard to the finality of events as they have worked themselves out; and to that same sense of "destination", projected into the future to become the flow of events as they will work themselves out.
*Fatalism refers to the belief that events fixed by fate are unchangeable by any type of human agency. In other words, humans cannot alter their own fates or the fates of others.
== Appearance ==
Not much is known about Destiny's true appearance, however, He is are beyond all concepts of perception and comprehension, transcending the very concept of dimensions, physics, reality, dualism, non-dualism, life, death, existence, and nonexistence itself. He is are incomprehensible, ineffable, and all-encompassing.
Destiny is appears as a healthy and slim handsome good-looking young man with unkempt and spiky hair. He he does not smoke or drink alcohol, having good health. He always appears with bentos in hand, regardless of the situation. He wears a white shirt with a jacket that is tied just above his right arm and around the left shoulder; slacks and Japanese traditional geta on his feet.
=== Avatar Form ===
His avatar form, Destiny appears as a man cloaked and hooded an indeterminate color of brown, grey, and sometimes purple. He carrying a large book, the Book of Souls. The book is holding to him, or he is chained to the book, and within the book is written the entire sum of existence, past, present and future.
== Personality ==
Destiny rarely, if ever, actively involves himself in anything. His duty is merely to read and observe through his book, and he carries it out assiduously. But every great once in a while something will make him step beyond the normal bounds of his duty.
Destiny rarely displays any strong emotions; he is mostly shown to be stoic and unmoved, with no emotional response.  Destiny focuses solely on his purpose, and as such discourages most of the Endless' tampering with the mortal realm. Destiny does at times express discomfort at certain moments and even does try to give ambiguous suggestions to his siblings and wife who seek his guidance.
Destiny being regarded by the Endless as the wisest of the Endless. Whether this makes him that much older than any of his siblings is uncertain but he is seen as The Eldest. Destiny is - like many characters that know the future and that it cannot be changed - very stoic in going about his life and rarely, if ever, shows any emotion.
He is a very warm and welcoming type of guy because he saw his family as important above all else. Destiny puts family first. Destiny is very protective of Desire and extremely loyal to anyone he considers family. As a result, he always looked more like his father than his older brother. He always showed love for Phoxotl and read fairy tales to his daughter, Decline.
For Destiny sees things as they were, as they are, and as they shall be...and the way he sees things, Dream was the lord of things that were not, things that are not, and things that will never be. In short, you could basically say Destiny is heartless, incapable of understanding emotion because he has no need to feel when he knows all.
Destiny gives is that he is a benevolent entity of pure love and justice, who loves his family and creations. In truth, the truth could not be farther away. While it's true that he likes his siblings, he no longer truly cares for them, letting them do what they want in Creation. Destiny says she's not evil, he's just a writer, writers although they like their characters, they don't love their characters like they would love a family member.
