Outer God

The Outer Gods, also known as the Elder Myths, is a race of eldritch cosmic beings created by the Pre-Existential Entities, Azathoth as a means of re-stabilize the cosmic order after the birth of the Primordial Gods and Dragon Gods. They are the main inhabitants of the Orbis Alius.
They are most well-known for being recorded in the Cthulhu Mythos by the human writer H. P. Lovecraft and his friend Clark Ashton Smith, and Lord Edward Plunkett before them.
==Overview==
The Outer Gods are various cosmically significant entities that are featured in the Cthulhu Mythos. They are to be distinguished from the Great Old Ones, although the distinction isn't universally acknowledged.
Generally speaking, they are located beyond the confines of Earth and the solar system, exerting their influence from deep space. However, there are some Outer Gods who have taken up residence on Earth. According to some accounts they dwell in the outer voids outside of thought and existence in a "graveside" beyond Time. This Last Void transcending matter and universes is accessed by the Ultimate Gate, itself beyond time and space.
They bear a striking similarity to the Out of Universe, Gnostic concept of the "Demiurge", a malignant creator being acting in an unconscious and corrupted parody of the "Divine Will". It is sometimes referred to as "Yaldabaoth", a name which would not seem out of place in the Mythos, and may have influenced the name of Yog-Sothoth.
==Summary==
The Outer Gods were created shortly after the birth of the original deities, the Primordial Gods, by the Pre-Existential Entities, Azathoth. While the true reason behind their creation is unclear, as many have speculated that they were born purely out of spite due to the rivalry between Azathoth and Khaos at that time, the most accepted theory was that they were created to bring forth a necessary [Chaos] to the [Order] brought forth by the Primordials.
Similar to the Primordials, they were originally created and dwelled in the Divine World, but had descended to the Mortal World shortly it was re-created when the Great Flood ended. Unlike their cousins, however, they chose not to inhabit the newly-created Earth, instead chose to travel across the vastness of space, discovering unknown planets and galaxies.
Due to their opposing nature, numerous skirmishes had happened between the Primordial Gods and the Outer Gods across the millennia, dated ever since their creation. In these fights, countless planets, nebulae, and galaxies were destroyed and their living essences are then further spread throughout the ever-expanding universe, forming new species and life-forms on formerly dead planets.
In the Creation War while the Outer Gods sided with the Primus and the Evie Etoulde due to their unwavering loyalty toward Azathoth, and due to their involvement, the balance of the cosmic forces were shifted and the anomaly known as 666 were born from Azathoth's annoyance.
Because of this, they were forced into "exile" in Orbis Alius, a realm created by Khaos in the heart of the Outerverse and the seal that reinforced their exile was prophesied to only be broken once 666 broke out of its prison.
==Appearance==
Similar to primordial gods, the Outer Gods possess two separate forms: A humanoid form and an eldritch form.
In their humanoid form, they are extremely attractive people of various genders, ages, and ethnicities. However, no matter how physically alluring they are as humans, there is always an aura of certain "wrongness" around them, akin to a giant black smudge over a masterpiece, that causes others to grow weary of them.
In their eldritch form, they mostly resemble their depictions in the Lovecraftian Mythos, with numerous eyes, gaping jaws filled with teeth, and giant coiling mass of tentacles all over their horrid bodies.
==Characteristics==
According to Khaos, Outer Gods are simply Primordial Gods in eldritch forms, and other than that, there are little to no differences between the two races. It is also implied that the true form of the Primordials resembles that of the Outer Gods, as Percy Jackson had described the true form of Pontus and Thalassa to resemble that of Cthulhu but with "giant snakes in places where the tentacles should be".
They are random entities who often put rationality and common sense aside whenever an objective is put before them. They are also said to be driven by momentarily desires rather than long-term ones. Many Primordials commented that trying to explain the indescribable mystery of space is far more easier than to understand the thinking process of an Outer God.
However, unlike their descendants and offspring, they aren't inherently evil or chaotic by default, but rather the necessary chaos required to bring forth balance between the celestial scales. In some cases, they act as the required order to balance the chaotic divinity of their descendants, the Great Old Ones and Old Ones, and are the only beings capable of reining them in. According to Khaos, they also serve as enforcers of the Ancient Laws and will actively seek out rule-breakers and punish them so that the cosmic balance remains undisturbed.
