Chaos Seed

Born from the Nexus Forge, a Chaos Seed is a collection of raw energy with enough power to birth an entirely new universe into existence. Such a wild and untamed energy has been known to have tremendous effects and repercussions across the multiverse, sometimes even taking a mind of its own.

**The Harvesting**

When the multiverse was new it was full of worlds born with reckless abandon by beings of indescribable size and power. No one is certain who or what created the Nexus Forge, but all of creation was purged and drawn into the forge. This was known as the Harvest and began the creation of the First Chaos Seed. In an attempt to produce a balanced universe, the Nexus Forge amalgamated the raw energies into a singular sphere of cosmic light.

**Spread across the Multiverse**

The Nexus Forge has a mechanical mind with which it generates the architecture of the Multiverse, launching seeds at seemingly random points in space and time. The Chaos Seed is packed into a device called the Wormhole, and then blasts off towards its intended point. These seeds have long been sought after by an eldritch army known as the Gygax, and protected by a species of equal ancient age called the Genkiddion. The two have since created a contest to test the might of newborn worlds by ways of pitting a Malachite (world protectors) against Astral Dragons (world eaters.)

**A Mind of its Own**

The Chaos Seed in essence is life, and thus will always seek to survive. There have been points in time across the multiverse when a Chaos Seed's life was jeopardized and it created life of its own to fight back. There are other occasions in which the Chaos Seed in its entirety will transmute into a singular entity. Often beings of such a nature earn the moniker of Chaos (such as Lady Chaos.)

**Death of a Seed**

If a Chaos Seed does not prove worthy of grand design in the contest of the Gygax, it will be devoured by an entity called the Wandering Evil. This will break the seed down to primal energy, to be recycled into the Nexus Forge. This process was discussed by Lady Chaos as something similar to reincarnation, so it would seem the Chaos Seed also bears with it the knowledge of its previous existence. Perhaps this is the reason why so many universes in the multiverse bear strong references and connections, due to the memory-like energies of the Chaos Seed.

**The Many forms of Chaos**

There have been few times in which a Chaos Seed has created an entity to speak on its behalf or has simply become a being itself. In all of these instances there have been dangerous effects on the universe housing the Chaos-avatar. Across the multiverse most of these forms have the ability to create life, alter their own form to any shape, manipulate reality (but not time or space) and possess most other godly-abilities.

***Tsukuyomi (F):*** In the First World, the Chaos Seed was found by lesser deities from a pantheon called the Lost Gods. These cosmic beings pulled life from the Chaos Seed in the form of a goddess who they took as one of their own. This being would be called Tsukuyomi, and given domain over Chaos. With an understanding of her existence, Tsukuyomi sought to wrestle away the full strength of the Chaos Seed from Malachite. She was eager to plunge the world into chaos and was ultimately stopped by Throm.

***Tsukuyomi (M):*** Plunged into the Broken World but with remembrance of their original plot, the Chaos Seed's avatar found a new masculine form. Recognizing the weakness of this world, Tsukuyomi attempted a coup upon Malachite to access the Nexus Forge and reincarnate its more powerful, female form. This Tsukuyomi was also well known for its ability to shapeshift between mortal forms in an attempt to sway historical events away from the eyes of the gods, and was ultimately responsible for the vast majority of mortals turning their faith away from the gods in an attempt to weaken them. Tsukuyomi (M) was ultimately killed by the Warriors Seven.

***The Maddened Goddess:*** After the First and Broken world were reunited, the original Tsukuyomi gained the memories of her dead, male counterpart. With no interest in dying, Tsukuyomi fled to the multiverse for a deeper understanding of her purpose. In her travels she would discover (and be tainted by) the Wandering Evil. The sickness Tsukuyomi incurred would amplify her chaotic nature and send her back to destroy the universe from which she came. Luckily, help from the Warriors Eleven would cure her of the madness and she would join the forces of light in the attempt to save their universe.

***Lady Chaos:*** With the death of the First World, Tsukuyomi did not want to be recycled into the Wandering Evil. She stole away with a few of the survivors onto the Wormhole, setting course for a new section of the multiverse. With the death of her old world, much of Tsukuyomi's memories would fade. She would don the title of Lady Chaos, shedding her original appearance for a more neutral, cosmic form. When the wormhole crash landed into the Modern Universe, Lady Chaos had escaped into the Astral Sea and began a plot to recover her memories...
