Hokuto

**Hokuto**  (ホクト) is one of the four Goddesses of the Deus Ex Machina and the first one introduced and defeated.

## Appearance

Hokuto appears to be a teenager, and possesses a short, petite body. She has blonde hair styled in a messy flyaway, golden eyes and beautiful fair skin. Despite having a small frame, she has a very large bust, noted to be disproportionate to her small body. She wears a revealing Chinese styled dress with patterns of colorful scales on a skirt.

When using her godly powers, her body is covered in red markings. In her machine god armor, Hokuto gains gauntlets and torso parts resembling a dragon. She grows stag horns on her head like ornaments and has enormous red bat-like wings. Hakuto is described to have the appearance of a Kirin.

## Personality

Hokuto is noted by Osiris, her fellow god, to be very and childish immature. She likes having fun and always tries to keep herself motivated for unknown reasons. Despite being carefree, Hokuto takes great insult upon being injured as she prides her body to be a "whole world". She is a bit ill-tempered and often gets herself into a fight with fellow machine god Odin. Overall, like the other members of Deus Ex Machina, she displays a superiority complex due to her status as a creator or a god.

## History

Hokuto was once a mortal living in a world similar to Lemuria and Atlantis. Her family were rulers of that world. The citizens of that world faced extinction due to epidemics and natural disasters that would eventually destroy their world. Hokuto was stated by her people to be the final stage of their evolution and through unknown means that involves sacrificing all of their lives, they managed to transform Hokuto into a god. Thus, they entrusted all their hopes to Hokuto who now has capabilities of bending reality.
