Hyuzu is known across Falavaze as the most ruthless of all Falava. Despite being The God of Life, Hyuzu is rather cruel and merciless to the living and mentions that he “loves to watch them suffer”, implying that he’s rather sadistic. Hyuzu adopted the mortal phrase of “life is cruel”, though he is the confirmed cause of said phrase coming into existence.

Hyuzu’s job is to keep the mortals alive and to make them “live” instead of “survive”, though he demonstrates on many occasions throughout mortal history that he neglects that part of his job. Like his brother, Hyuzu writes down ahead of time when a mortal baby will be born and what species it will be. He reluctantly talks with Azguel whether or not some children should die due to their parents’ health conditions or the environmental factors.

Hyuzu’s artifact, The Moonlaya Charm, is the most renowned of the Falava Artifacts. It is because it’s said to be able to grant life to those who hold it and to help the diseased make a quick and permanent recovery from pestilences. As such, many apothecaries and pirates strive to find The Moonlaya Charm, but have failed time and time again. It’s presumed to have fallen to Aysis, The Continent of Thieves, following The Shower of Stars and has remained there untouched ever since. It’s said that only a “thief/mortal of Azure can find it and restore life to Aysis”.

## Appearance

Hyuzu’s appearance completely contrasts his twins. His skin is very pale, though not entirely white, but his hair is that of snow. Mortals say that across a winter sky (mainly in Porthai or Hyathyme), blizzards are the result of Hyuzu’s hair hanging down into their realm. Ironically , those very same blizzards are a main cause of death for both those continents.

Hyuzu wears a golden robe that fades to white and silvery sandals. Said robe is similar to Isutita’s, but it lacks a long train.

Like Azguel, Hyuzu is missing one of his eyes, forming the phrase “an eye for an eye and the world goes blind”. His colour palette is bland, though stunning with all its sparkling jewels that are embroidered into it. The mortal eye could never see said jewels as they are very very small and paint the illusion of a simple, sparkly robe.

Unlike his brother and father, Hyuzu is on the Manere side of the Aelus Spectrum. This means that he’s not as emotionally driven and prefers to leave the mortals to suffer while he sits back and watches, doesn’t believe in divine intervention.

## Personality

Hyuzu is infamous for being sadistic, revelling in mortal anguish. There are few and rare instances where he shows concern for them, but he is far from compassionate. Hyuzu is described as someone who doesn’t care, allowing Orochi’s Great Blight to happen while all he did was watch. His indifferent nature harms more than the mortals, as he has a strained relationship with his twin brother, Azguel and a ruined relationship with his father, Erendei. The only family member who loves him in Aure, as his children are no strangers to his neglect. Itazura mentions that being his child is far from easy and Hyuzu didn’t seem to express remorse for one of his sons disappearing.

Hyuzu, though he has many notable flaws, has his strengths. He isn’t clouded by emotions, able to judge mortals without any bias. His stubbornness enforces his views and allows him to do what is necessary while everyone else is unable to do so. Despite being painted as one of the calmest Falava, Hyuzu is largely short-fused, his name literary having being inspired by “fuse”. His intimidation earns him respect from his people and great reverence, which only feeds his inflated ego.

However, there is great reasoning as to why Hyuzu has developed a sadistic nature. Azguel and Hyuzu had always been forced to battle each other, with Erendei shamelessly showing he favoured Azguel because of his merciful personality. Hyuzu resented this and decided to repress his feeling of neglect, resulting in his livid rage and distaste for divine intervention. Erendei had also called him a disgrace after seeing what Hyuzu had become, only adding to his white-hot fury. He dated many mortal women in hopes of getting attention from his father, but was only shunned for doing so. Hyuzu finally settled down with his wife Hirana, the Goddess of Comedy while Azguel settled with his wife Drayena, the Goddess of Tragedy.

Hyuzu isn’t a happy god, wracked with childhood neglect and mistreatment. He has many children, but can’t bring himself to be a father to them after what Erendei did to him—neglecting him, calling him a disgrace and clearly favouring Azguel. For this reason, Hyuzu is distant from the other Falava, but is close with Hamaliel, the God of Logic as they both resent the people they created. His sorrow is drowned by cheering on mortal death and tragedy, developing into his iconic sadistic actions. At one point, Hyuzu strived to please his father and gain his love, but those days have long since passed and have become a strained desire to showcase his hatred for him instead after years of neglect and verbal abuse. He’s not evil, as he opposed Morisya, but he has the potential to become a really terrifying evil divine if it weren’t for his mother and his brother, who encourage him to be better.

## Duties & Legends

Hyuzu’s duties align with Azguel’s as they both have an impact on time and the living. The sadistic God of Life is assigned to give life to newborns and throw obstacles in peoples’ ways so they can grow and learn. However, he abuses his duties quite frequently, giving rise to mental illness such as depression and anxiety with how hard he hits the living with his sick, twisted problems.

Some legends he’s included in or affiliated with include:

* He was a key role in Orochi’s Great Blight, doing nothing to save the Aysyians (people of Aysis) and turning a blind eye.
* He did nothing to help the Mythrian race nor the Amalians after watching them suffer from his Humarians.
* He was involved in the “Artifact Shower” where his heavenly artifact fell to the realm of Favalaze.
* He created the Humarian race to watch them suffer as he did with his father. Unlike his brother, who adores and even mourns his race’s issues, he scoffs or laughs.

As you can see, Hyuzu is off-radar to the mortals, representing his closed and cold nature, with his legends revolving solely around his indifference and hatred for all mortals. He, despite his clear indifference and cold nature, is the most revered of all the Falava, including Azguel, but not Aure.

## The Shower of Stars

Hyuzu’s involvement in The Shower of Stars is vague at best. All he did was create some soldiers to fight in the divine war, but didn’t care at all about the conflict itself, too numb to muster any compassion or care at that point. Still dealing with the trauma he experienced in childhood, Hyuzu is distant and distrusting of other people, often pushing them away and hurting them before they can hurt him. By doing this, he demonstrates that he’s not above emotions and is in actuality, very afraid of forming connections. When sealed behind the divine gate, Hyuzu stays far away, sitting in his designated place that’s isolated from any living thing.

## Moonlaya Charm

* Present Day
* Pre-Divine War

### Effects

Can bring life to nature and cure any sickness created by any source.

### Cost to sell

Priceless

Hyuzu’s artifact is the revered Moonlaya Charm, often seen as the source of all life in the universe. Many mortals falsely believe it can bring back the dead, but in reality, it only heals sickness, wounds, or brings life to barren wastelands. The REAL artifact that is associated with necromancy is Azguel’s Letifer Crown. The Moonlaya Charm was rumoured to fall either on an invisible island or Aysis’s Death Bringer Mountain, but nobody knows for sure where it lies. People crave it, symbolizing their craving for immortality and forsaking the time they have left. In a sense, the Moonlaya Charm can drive the noblest of souls to commit atrocious acts and crimes to take it for themselves. At one point, it was a crown of starlight on Hyuzu’s regal head, but upon falling to Aysis (a continent literally named the “Continent of Thieves”), it became a large amethyst-like stone with a crescent moon on the side. It, like the other artifacts, are said to fall into the hands of the Seven Saviours in the future.

## Aftermath

Like the other divines, Hyuzu was sealed behind the divine gate by Equinox. Hyuzu became more isolated than usual, avoiding any contact with any other divines including Hamaliel and Aure, the only two people who he cared about. He doesn’t find peace in helping others, but wallows in mortal struggle to drown his pain like before. Shamefully and horrifically, sometimes he wishes the Mythrian Massacre never ends so he can keep watching for entertainment. He may not be able to interact with the mortals directly anymore, but his abilities still come into play such as life-giving. He actually gets his minions (who carry out his tasks), to “put on a show” for him (meaning to torture the mortals until he’s satisfied).
