Inmos

**Inmos** was a major protagonist of the *Lightning SMP*.

He was a wise deity of flint who adopted the Reptillius-Human hybrid, Zillius, and raised him as his own child. After Boreas persuaded Triscuit into releasing him, Inmos was called by Zillius to help stop the Ice God’s plans on taking over the SMP.

## Appearance

Inmos was a tall dark individual with skin as rough as stone and rock. He possessed several small crooked "horns" on his head, he has two pairs of crimson red eyes with one of them being scarred, he doesn’t have a mouth yet still is capable of speaking. He has strong legs with talon-like feet, while his hands have sharp claws.

## Personality

Contrary to other deities such as Boreas who have a desire for power and conquest, Inmos was a down-to-earth deity who never wanted power nor worship. Indeed he was mentioned to have been called the "Flint God" by ancient humans, he never desired the name and merely wanted to teach humanity on how to use flint without being revered by them. When he discovered baby Zillius in the ruins of a destroyed castle, Inmos decided to take the infant and raise him as his own, teaching him how to hunt, build and fight.

When Inmos was summoned by Zillius to defeat Boreas and prevent him from taking over the SMP, Inmos instantly flew off in search of Boreas. Besides that, when a new threat loomed over the SMP under the form of Horus, Inmos began planning out a way on how to defeat him, despite the terror on what Horus could do, it did not stop Inmos on fighting him head on so that he could buy time for Aikkop to place the Exorcist Lanterns around the burial.

## Biography

### Raising Zillius

2200 years ago, Inmos travelled across the mountains and discovered the fresh ruins of a castle embedded into the mountains, he explored the ruins and found a crying Reptillius infant in a cradle that was unnaturally covered in roots raised from the ground. Inmos looked around and thought the infant was abandoned, therefore he decided to take the infant and planned to raise him. Before he could pick the infant up, he noticed a name written on the cradle: Zillius.

For several centuries, Inmos had raised the infant into a young teenager, he taught him on how to hunt for food, how to build shelter, and how to defend himself and others. Inmos had developed a fatherly bond with this young Reptillius, every once in a while Inmos would let him play in the forest as he observed him from a distance. Later on, Inmos discovered a juvenile spirit who recently passed away, he saw how frail it was and decided to take it in, naming the spirit Nox. Inmos then introduced Zillius to Nox, the two later developed a brother-sister type bond with each other, Inmos later used his magic to bind Nox into an inanimate object since she is unable to communicate nor interact with anyone without an object host.

When Zillius became a young adult, he had a desire to go and explore the world, he wanted to make a place where diverse people can stay and feel like home. Inmos was supportive of Zillius’ dreams and encouraged him into exploring the world, before Zillius embarked on his journey, Inmos gave him a prism-like flint and told him if he ever needed him, he can light the flint up which will alert Inmos to his location. Zillius took the flint and thanked Inmos for everything he has done for him before leaving to explore the world.

### Events of the *Lightning SMP*

#### Vault Arc

Inmos was alluded to in "Pilot", when Zillius first constructed the old Community House, he was hammering the floor of the basement and the flint prism can be seen on a pedestal. When Attar arrived at the SMP, he went down to the basement to grab some supplies and the pedestal seemed to have nothing on it, it is possible Zillius took it because he didn’t want Attar finding it.

In "God of Ice",
