## Biography

### Early Life

#### Born in the Void

Apophis was the first Odgoad, the Primordial Egyptian Gods, born to the goddess of the Abyss, Khaos, known to the Pesedjet as Nunet. Apophis lived in the Void with his younger siblings for many years. Over time Apophis developed a great rivalry with his twin brother Amun thanks to their rivaling concepts.

#### Gods of Darkness

Thanks to the many Big Bangs going off in Nunet's body, she slowly turned hostile. Apophis loved Nunet's new disposition and had a child with her. Their daughter, Kauket, took after both of her parents, becoming the evil Ogdoad Goddess of Darkness.

### The Dark One

#### Harbinger of Darkness

Apophis and his daughter isolated themselves from the rest of the Ogdoad leaving himself exposed to the Entity's corruption. The Entity telepathically communicates with Apophis, letting him know that he has been chosen to house the Darkness, making him the first Dark One. The Darkness corrupts Apophis, filling him with the evil desire to kill Amun and take over the Ogdoad himself.

#### Separation of Light and Dark

Apophis, accompanied by Kauket, and empowered by the Darkness, launched an attack on the rest of the Ogdoad and early Ennead near the start of the Universe. Just the two of them verses all the Pesedjet left the battle at a stalemate, neither side overtaking the other. This was until Amun developed a weapon designed to specifically weaken the power of the Darkness. With the magical weapon, Apophis and Kauket's Dark Magic was temporarily drained from them, weakening them enough to imprison them. Kauket was imprisoned on an isolated planetoid while Apophis was trapped in the Astral Plane.

#### The Shadow Realm

Despite Apophis being depowered and banished, he still had enough power to used the Darkness to transform a part of the Astral Plane into a realm of darkness and shadow. The Shadow Realm was transformed form a prison into a new home for the dark god and a new source of power for the Dark One.

#### Fall of the Rainbow Dimension

Apophis eventually broke out of the Shadow Realm with a plan to spread the Darkness across the whole Universe. He snuck his way into a central realm of the Universe, the Rainbow Dimension and took residence in a central planet. There he channeled the Darkness and ripped the planet and the surrounding lands to shreds, quickly devouring and destroying everything the Darkness touched.

As he attempted to spread the Darkness to the rest of the Universe by use of Yggdrasill and the Bifröst, Fimbultyr sensed this and closed off all wormholes to and from the Rainbow Dimension, the Heart of Yggdrasill. Although trapped, Apophis still continued his conquest, nearly destroying the entire Rainbow Dimension. However, he is stopped by Amun, now Amun-Ra who bursts into the Rainbow Dimension and shoves Apophis into another rift, ending his assault on the realm.

#### Rematch With Amun-Ra

Aumn-Ra beats Apophis through a wormhole until they crash land into the Library of Alexandria on Earth, destroying part of the building on impact. An explosive battle between the dark god and sun god ensues. Ra slings his Devine fire at Apophis only for him to block it with shadows and bounce it elsewhere in the library. This continues for hours until nearly the entire library is up in flames. Apophis mocks the sun god for his incompetence and inability to protect his worshipers. An angered Ra uses all of the rest of his magic and latent energy from the Lucifractor to banish **Apophis** back to the Shadow Realm, and extract the powers of the Dark One from him.

### Imprisoned Again

#### Stripped of Title

Apophis tries to relax to build up more power to break free again. While doing this, he is approached by the Entity. The Entity explains how is all of their years of life, they have never seen such a level of failure. They state that they allowed Amun-Ra to steal Apophis' Dark One powers so that they can pass down to a more worthy successor. Apophis begs for a another chance to which the Entity refuses, leaving the former Dark One locked in his cage forever.

#### Search for the Dark One

Some time later, a powerful sorceress, the Collector, approaches the imprisoned Apophis, in search of the Dark One in order to cleanse the Darkness from her. However after toying with her, Apophis reveals that he is no longer the Dark One. An angered Collector threatens the Serpopard god into either helping her or telling her who the next Dark One is. Apophis refuses, not only because he does not know who the next Dark One is, but also because he knows that the Collector cannot kill him. The Collector then teleports inside of the cage with Apophis and rips out his Creation Spark, noting how, because he is a god, he should be amazed what he can live though. The Collector then sifts through Apophis' story trying to find the Dark One.

## Personality

Apophis, the god of darkness, evil, and chaos, is a character defined by a brooding and malevolent personality. In the shadows of his existence, an intense rivalry with his twin brother, Amun-Ra, fueled a seething animosity, birthing a darkness that became intrinsic to his being.

In the realm of relationships, Apophis chose isolation, distancing himself not only from his siblings, the Ogdoad, but also compelling his daughter to follow in his footsteps. This penchant for solitude reflects not only a preference for darkness but an inclination towards a malevolent and lonely existence.

The turning point in Apophis's personality came with his corruption by the Entity, morphing him into the malevolent Dark One. This transformation magnified his malevolence, leading him to wage war against the Ogdoad and, specifically, his twin brother. The relentless pursuit of power and control underscored a personality steeped in ambition and a thirst for dominance.

Even in the face of defeat and banishment to the Shadow Realm, Apophis's personality remained unyielding. His escape from this dimensional prison showcased a determination to spread his darkness across the universe, reflecting an unrelenting commitment to his malevolent nature.

Amun-Ra's interventions, while thwarting Apophis's dark ambitions, did little to alter the core of his personality. The consequences of failure, including the stripping of his title and powers, were met with a persistence that highlights a defiant and unrepentant character.

In essence, Apophis's personality is a portrait of darkness and malevolence. His brooding rivalry, isolationist tendencies, and unyielding pursuit of power paint a vivid picture of a deity consumed by the shadows that define his existence. The complexities of his personality unravel in a tapestry of darkness, revealing a character driven by a relentless quest for dominance and the solitude that accompanies his malevolent nature.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Ogdoad Physiology:** Apophis is the eldest of the Ogdoad, the primordial Pesedjet gods, and among the most powerful of them even without the Darkness. The Ogdoad, like most Primordial Entities have immense power and strength compared to lesser.
	+ **Transcendence:** Apophis is the Primordial Spirit of Darkness and Evil who exists above all Timelines and Universes with no other copies of himself in existence.
		- **Immortality:** He and the Ogdoad as a whole are well over 30 billion years old and is still in his prime, showing no signs or aging or fatigue. Since Apophis is the spiritual embodiment of the concept of darkness, he will live as long as darkness exists.
		- **Nigh-Invulnerability:** The Ogdoad are spirits of eternal and/or abstract concepts and are healthy so long as their dominion remains stable. So long as there is darkness in the Multiverse, there will be Apophis to preside over it.
	+ **Levitation:** Since he was created in the formless Void, Apophis learned to move around without needing solid ground to bare against. This ability followed him into the Physical Plane, allowing him to levitate outside the Void.
	+ **Shapeshifting:** The true forms of the Ogdoad, like all Eternals, are dangerous for lesser lifeforms to gaze upon. Because of this, Apophis often disguises himself as humanoid being with snake attributes.
		- **Size Alteration:** Apophis' true form is large, powerful, and esoteric. To interact with the material world, he makes himself smaller with his Avatars.
		- **Zoomorphosis:** Apophis can freely transform between his humanoid, serpent headed form and his true massive serpentine form.

* **Serpopard Physiology:** The six Serpopards are magically gifted creatures hand picked by the Entity to destroy the Multiverse. Apophis was chosen as the Serpopard of Darkness and the first Dark One with the special ability to manipulate all of space.
	+ **Reality Warping:** As shared by all Serpopards, Apophis is one of the six embodiments of destruction and chaos. The Serpopards main power is the ability to manipulate reality in their unique way. With Apophis, he can manipulate all things darkness and shadows, and make all things darkness and shadows.
