Izanami Hakai

Izanami is a creator of Universe X and the main galactic developer of said universe, also interfering with the Otherworld in regards to this universe. He was a human that became the ***God of Yomi*** after giving away his freedom for a girl he didn't *know*, and he now rules over **Yomi** and all the dead spirits of Universe X.

## Appearance

His silky black hair falls down his dark-skinned face stylishly, slightly hiding his round mint green eyes with forest green pupils and black sclera. His tall, lean build makes him slightly intimidating.

When he was alive, he had a curly black afro. His skin was caramel, complimenting his dark brown almond eyes. He was short and slim, bearing very little fat.

### Clothing

**Casual:** He throws an open teal robe with red rims over his black undershirt and joggers, strapping Kurai across his waist horizontally whilst pointing east.

**Young:** Before he died, he wore ninja armour: a black jacket, black trousers, light sandals, and a black mask. He also wore glasses that he made to translate Japanese text, though he can deactivate and activate it freely.

## Personality

Izanami is a quiet person, adapting to his environment peacefully. He analyzes things silently, making plans in his head and keeping out of the way. He is reminiscent of a ghost, he exists but no one remembers he’s there; this is the work of his observant nature. In almost any situation, he's more common to sit and watch, analyzing every movement and word - every detail in the scenery. He pays a lot of attention to his surroundings and doesn't miss anything - he catches anything and anyone. As an addition to his observant nature, he prefers to minimalize the information he observes, taking action in as little social interactions as possible. Whenever he's around too many cues/people, he tends to leave the group and stay where there is nearly nothing to observe; this functions like a stress reliever. While he has stress-relieving practices, he doesn't necessarily need them, especially as he's resistant to stress. His temper is nearly non-existent.

In any circumstance, he tends to think and rationalize everything. His analyzing builds on this and makes everything cross his mind while making sense of his surroundings, often bringing body language, speech patterns, and even odors into his mental formula. When moral questions come into the picture, his pure logic leaves most noticing his presence, hindering his ghostly nature. His judging nature makes him highly organized and thorough, never missing a single detail; it's this mentality that makes him so intelligent and wise, as he's never made a mistake and always does the logical thing no matter the social aftermath. In a race for clarity, he ended a person's life and brought them back, expressing his willingness to abuse everything to obtain understanding.

When it comes to family, he's very protective. While his decisions are still driven by logic and realism, these individuals, especially his daughter, can mess with his judgment. During a robbery, instead of simply killing the robber as usual, if his daughter was also in danger, he'd save her before tending to the greater threat. He shows a similar reaction when confronted with innocent children (an innocent child knows no violence or anything similar, an average kindergartener - what most people envision), protecting them against the greater logic; this ties into his philosophy.

### Philosophy

Izanami believes, like those with brains, that children are the future of society. However, he also believes that they should have better experiences than all those before them; this is why he rushes to protect children - he believes if anyone deserves life, it's them.

**Attack Potency****:**

* Young

### Kurai

In this age, he only had access to Kurai, translating to all his abilities. However, I'll make a page for it. Thinking about it, these were his only abilities as a kid.

### Creation

As a deity, Izanami has instant creation so long as he can think of it, making his Omniscient intelligence a big threat. With his creation, Izanami's created an entire universe (with Izanagi) and many people in it. He created diverse abilities and systems, introducing a bundle of power systems into the template universe.

### Soul

As the ruler of ***Yomi***, he can control souls. In his first display of the ability, he turned all crying corpses around him into souls; this ability ranges to the living as well. When a Universe X being passes, they can't be permanently judged or killed as *their God* has not chosen a sentence for them, of course, unless he has. An example of this is when we cut to Teno's death and their general journey through Otherworld, despite being judged, Teno doesn't even go to hell. Universe X beings are unaffected by Zeno's *unofficial* judgement. When Izanami enters Otherworld, he silences Zeno (who Izanami appointed as the watcher) and chooses the sentences himself, freeing Teno from any.
His ability to control souls can go deeper, as with their souls comes their emotions. If he so pleased, he could manipulate the emotions (and otherwise actions) of anyone/thing with a soul. The only weakness to this ability is when there are multiple souls/pieces in a single body; in the case of the **Sins**, **Virtues**, and **Zane**, their dual souls would cause a confusion in his emotional manipulation. Hence, instead of controlling the host, he could control the guests (Xenith, etc.) in turn, erasing the entire point. Additionally, in the case of Izanagi with his soul in emotion-labeled pieces, he wouldn't be able to manipulate him at all.

He can destroy any soul, stripping any being of their life, or in Izanagi's situation, emotion by emotion. Even so, when he does destroy souls, he absorbs them as power. Their existence ceases for his benefit, though he doesn't need it. Instead of absorbing all the souls, he tends to give them to other people, using deaths to push characters and give them new abilities. In fact, these are the origins of Teno's cosmic and spatial abilities. Izanami created a sheet that said "Nice try, go check out Teno's abilities is you want these details."
