Yog-Sothoth

*"All of time and space flows through me. I hear all words, feel all emotions, see through all eyes. Nothing is hidden from me. " - Yog-Sothoth to Nyarlathotep*

**Yog-Sothoth, the Gate and the Key,** is an Outer God and a member of the Eldritch of Undeath. He is one of the strongest Outer Gods and his manipulation over Time and Space are said to be so strong that he is rumored to be a living nexus of Time and Space.

## History

It's not exactly known how or what Yog-Sothoth did or was like as a mortal, however a diary written by one of the villagers provides some insight to Yog-Sothoth's life as a mortal, here is what it said:

*"I remember when he first appeared in the village. I say appeared because he had no parents, at least I don't think he did. He quite literally just appeared in the nursery, he didn't even have a name. We had no idea what to do because we were a relatively small group of people, so we didn't really have a lot we could give to another kid. We still did what we could though. It took only 1 month to pass before we started to realize that he wasn't like anything we've ever seen. By the time he was 2 weeks old, he could walk alone without the assistant of our doctor. 3 weeks, he was able to speak full sentences, not long sentences, but it's still something not normal by any means. 1 month and he appeared as a 1 year old and could use words that most 8 year old's didn't know. By the time an actual year passed, he appeared to be a 14 year old, he was multilingual, he could understand things that even the elders couldn't, and fend for himself. Now to tell you what he looks like? I don't even really know WHAT he looked like, everybody has their own description of what he looked like, something I will say though, and that most other people who saw him is that his eyes were glassy and empty. They were like little fluorescent orbs almost. Obviously his age was something we could never keep track of, because he always appeared FAR older than his actual age. Anyways, as for his personality, he was incredibly strange there as well. He never talked to anybody, unless approached, and even when approached, he would always speak very slowly, and would never carry on a conversation for more than 2 minutes. When he DID conversate, the one or two times, it wasn't until a little bit before he just completely vanished, but I'll get to that eventually. He didn't answer to the name we had given him when he appeared, he only answered to the name he himself gave, which was Yog-Sothoth. He wouldn't eat, he wouldn't drink, he was especially hellbent on not sleeping. During the time he was at the village, I don't think he ever slept, not even once. About 3 years pass from this point, he appeared to be a 40 year old, he was smarter than everyone else in the village by far and was the most skilled when it came to combat. He became a complete recluse though at this point, he never left his home anymore, not even for meetings or prayer. He would never let anyone in, unless it was the village chief or the doctor, and he would rarely even let THEM in sometimes. We were all confused, but also agitated at the same time. He wasn't really draining any resources, but we still felt he needed to be here with us, contributing. Another year passes and he finally starts coming out again, nothing changed except for two things. One is that he wore very concealing clothing, and two is that he started to talk more as well. I guess another thing two is that there was a revolting odor that came from his home. I don't know if it was just his excretions or dead animals or something. He always seemed pretty clean though and he also doesn't eat, so neither really make sense. He also became sort of noisy at night as well. The noise was quite hard to describe, it was like a mixture of scratching, ringing ears, laughter, and growling. I remember him speaking to me actually when I asked him about the noise at night. He responded with something I didn't quite understand, all I remember is him saying something about "opening the gate" and "they'll soon break through". A day later after having that conversation, a feeling came over me. Actually it came over all of us, and what it was this... I don't even know. It was like this overwhelming sense of dread, like something terrible was about to happen."*

The diary ends there, as the rest is illegible for an unknown reason.

## Physical and Mental Analysis

Rough analysis was done on Yog-Sothoth by Anthropos and Mech:

* The only thing definitive about the appearance of Yog-Sothoth is that his he possesses a great many of eyes that resemble glassy orbs that are fluorescent in nature.
* Yog-Sothoth is an incredibly cryptic individual. He also does not speak that much, unless it is to other Lovecraftians.
* Yog-Sothoth is the embodiment of time and space itself, at least it seems that way.
* The Gate Yog-Sothoth refers to is something that he utilizes as a weapon to destroy the minds of other people and sometimes even erase them from reality.
	+ The Gate appears to be an opening to other planes of existences and realities, the vast knowledge of these is enough to drive away any mortal, and destroys the minds of even the strongest of beings. The only way to counter The Gate is to have True Omniscience, which is only possessed by two people, Azathoth and Ouroboros.
* He wields a Bo-Staff built from his own flesh and the essence of time and space themselves. This makes it completely indestructible by any and all means.
