Kinacha, the Keeper

Kinacha, the Keeper of Monstrosities, is the God of Secrets and Forbidden Knowledge. He is well known as one of the most intelligent gods on Myth, although he does not share what he knows lightly. It is rumored that Kinacha has existed in multiple forms throughout Myth's ancient history. Currently, Kinacha is a known follower of Traxis, and an ally of Legath, God of Shadows and Curses.

## History

Kinacha is an ancient god, having existed since before Myth was fully formed. The necessity for Knowledge among the first gods formed Kinacha's first form, Almourn. As Almourn, he led the formation of Myth, and taught many of the first gods how to effectively use their powers. Almourn was also the first to bring sentient creatures to Myth. After Myth was fully formed and populated, Almourn retreated to a life of solitude. He constructed a grand library to store all he knew, even including a piece of his soul in the final structure. Almourn spent many years in this library, and as Almourn learned, the library grew. All seemed to be at peace in Myth.

This peace did not last forever, of course. War eventually came to Myth, and Almourn was caught up in the fighting. Almourn did not survive the war.

As Almourn's half of the soul faded withing the library, as did half of the sphere of Knowledge. The remaining half of the sphere was left alone, without guidance from it's master. This half slowly corrupted, forming two new spheres to replace what had been left to rot. The god of Forbidden Knowledge and Secrets rose from the earth many years later, fueled by a greed that had stayed buried for centuries. He recollected nothing of his former master, only knowing that he was protector of knowledge.

Kinacha spent his years leading up to the war between Aldis and Traxis gathering all forms of tomes and artifacts, as well as draining the the minds of many a creature. As the war grew closer, Kinacha soon found that he had been recruited into Traxis' army, under the promise that he could continue doing what he loved- gathering the knowledge that he craved so much.

### **Tears of the Gods:**

Kinacha did not appear in the original Tears of the Gods.

### **Forsaken Era:**

In the early times of the Forsaken Era, Kinacha quickly began collecting allies in order to increase his likelihood of surviving, and profiting from, the War. Kinacha first summoned the God of Shadows, Legath, quickly forging an unsteady alliance with the Traxian in exchange for (limited) access to the Museum's collection, as well as useful Spheres. With Legath at his side, Kinacha then went to Tol'Reth'Mus, Starspinner, to form a pact. After the crystalline deity denied Kinacha's request, Legath proposed a deal to the Astral. The Moon Sphere in exchange for a pact. Setting off to complete the task, Kinacha and Legath found Riasond, God of the Moon, already locked in combat with the God of Insanity, Kayastor. After slaughtering the Moon God with one combined attack, Kinacha and Legath took Riasond's spheres, forging an alliance with Kayastor in the process by offering him Spheres and protection.

With the Moon sphere in his grasp, Kinacha returned to Tol and offered him the sphere. Mildly disgruntled, the Starspinner took the Sphere and forged a VERY unsteady pact with Kinacha. With all of these preparations complete, Kinacha then looked to helping himself, finding the God of Time, Wyvus Tempora, locked in a bloody battle and unable to escape. Taking the opportunity, Kinacha and his allies fell upon Wyvus, with Kinacha landing the killing blow and taking his Sphere.

As the new God of Time, Kinacha began to sense other timelines and events that had happened previously. Eventually he came across memories of Almourn, his former Keeper. As these memories came to him, he began to understand his past, and how he could purify his corrupted soul, for better or worse. After a short deliberation, Kinacha chose worse, and began preparing to open the Museum once more.

## Personality

Kinacha is a greedy god, willing to perform any horrid act to secure his goals. Kinacha is highly protective of all he knows, and it's rare that he ever shares his knowledge with an outsider. Kinacha prefers to have his minions fight for him, as he believes that his death could lead to the release of what he knows. However, this does not make him a cowardly god by any means, and is more than capable of mass destruction on his own. Kinacha is easily angered by stupidity or bullheadedness, and will not commonly associate himself with any god showing a great amount of these traits.

## Appearance

Kinacha manifests in the form of a large, black building known as the Museum of Monstrosities. The exterior of the building resembles an enormous mausoleum, while the inside is rumored to stretch on for miles. Although the true contents of the Museum are unknown, the now-insane gods who had journeyed within speak of great doors of bone, hundreds of lines of shelves, each holding millions of tomes, with one grand chamber in the center of the Museum. When the gibberish-spitting madmen of the Museum attempt to speak of the Grand Chamber further, a mysterious force strikes them down immediately, ending their lives.

## Powers

**Spheres of Influence:** Secrets and Forbidden Knowledge

Kinacha is highly intelligent due to his sphere of Forbidden Knowledge, and this intelligence carries down to his creatures. When Kinacha enters battle, he summons a rather weak minion known as a Seeker. This minion gains strength as Kinacha learns and adapts to his opponent's fighting style. By the time Kinacha has learned the opponent's strategy thoroughly, the Seeker will be roughly as powerful as a god. Kinacha himself is a formidable opponent, with the ability to charge and fire enormous beams of green energy. These beams pierce a god's body and mind, and doing increased damage and summoning a shadowy duplicate of the struck god. Defensively, Kinacha is incredibly difficult to deal any real damage to, as he completely resists debuffs and statuses from mind-based gods, as well as having an immunity to some statuses altogether due to his brick form.

Using his sphere of Secrets, Kinacha is able to unveil the secrets and tricks of enemy gods, giving him a defensive buff against a god that has hit him hard enough. Additionally, Kinacha can detect the weak spots of enemy gods, allowing him to harness their weakness for a more powerful stealthy strike. Using his mind-based powers, he can even confuse an enemy god long enough to get a sneak attack on two opponents instead of only one.
