The Darkness

**The Darkness**, also known as **The Witch of Nothingness**, the **Nothingness**, **Mother Night**, and the **Great Darkness**, is the Primordial Deity that personifies the primordial darkness that existed before the event "let there be light", being older and more ancient than God Himself.

## History

### Genesis

Shortly after the creation of the universe, God plunged his hand into the waters of Chaos, this paradoxical, momentary union of Order and Chaos inadvertently caused the formation of several great artifacts, which were forged from the very concepts that emerged out of the Dipping, among them the one known as Darkness. Immediately upon awakening, the Darkness became a bitter and malevolent entity, to the point where its dark embrace threatened to turn the universe back to the chaos from whence it came.

It was then that God retaliated with the creation of the Nihilo Mask, a powerful artifact which was designed to absorb and imprison all the Darkness which abounded in the primordial universe. However, when it came to absorb Darkness itself, the mask became overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of darkness and began to shatter and break.

### Release

But even as the mask continued to corrode, it kept on consuming the Darkness until finally the mask completed its absorption of the entity and became irreparably corrupted. After a brief moment, the mask began to speak; what its first utterances exactly were remains a mystery, but some say that the mask attempted to entice God into committing some vile and treasonous act against creation.

While Darkness had been bound within the mask, it seemed that his sleeping mind had assumed control over the very cage meant to imprison him. Realizing this, God discarded the mask and banished it to some distant and unknown location at the edge of the cosmos. After a billion years of isolation, Darkness compelled the mask to shed a single tear, which gained sentience and constituted a single fragment of the entirety of Darkness itself.

### Darkness on Earth

This embodiment of darkness wandered for millions of years through the vastness of space, festering, putrefying, distilling to seething perfection until finally making its way towards Earth. There, the Darkness found a vessel worthy of its boundless hate: humans. The Darkness seeped into their genes and used them as a medium to manifest its fury upon the Earth. Each generation was set loose with nearly limitless powers and only one calling: "spill chaos over the world of light". Since then, Darkness has chosen hosts from the ranks of murderers, thieves, and warlords, and used them to sow havoc into the world
