Primordial Goddess of the Night

**Nyx** is the Primordial Goddess of the Night, the youngest daughter of The Void, sister of Gaia and Tartarus, half-sister of Erebus, and mother of the Daemons.

## Personality

Nyx is a figure of such exceptional power and beauty that she is feared by Zeus himself. Over the years, the Gods and Goddesses have done their best to appease Nyx to avoid any fallout, showing that Gods such as Zeus, Hades, Hera, and Demeter are just a few that are deeply afraid of her.

However, according to her family and children, Nyx displays a motherly personality. She is seen as warm, caring and just a person who you can let your guard down around. She cares for all things that come under her care, treating them as she would her own children even if they aren't her children, as shown with her attitude towards Hades, Hecate and others.

## Background

Nyx is the goddess (or personification) of the night. A shadowy figure, Nyx stood at or near the beginning of creation and mothered other personified deities. Following the creation of Ascim, Nyx became an outcast within her people, harboring a disdain for the Ascim gods pageantries. When Nyx noticed the other gods had children which made them happy, she tried to emulate them. Three days after dreaming of the darkness and its stillness, Nyx gave birth to Hypnos, the God of Sleep.

With the evolution of mankind, the night and the dark became correlative to the unknowns humanity feared. Mortal storytellers used their words to dispel these terrors and find comfort in heroes of myth, shaping Zeus and his children into these ever-growing heroes, causing Nyx to become their opposite. With each legion of followers the Ascim gods gained, both Nyx's rage and the Ascim gods contempt for her grew stronger. Following another dream with her mind filled with thoughts of betrayal, Nyx gave birth to the twins Apate and Dolos, the Gods of Deceit and Trickery, respectively.

Hera wanted to take the throne from her husband, Zeus, more than anything since she saw him unfit to rule. She knew that she wasn't powerful enough to take him on alone so she got help from Hypnos. With some magic, Hypnos was convinced to put Zeus into a deep sleep so Hera could work behind his back. The only problem was that Hypnos wasn't strong enough to keep the King of the Gods asleep for long. When Zeus woke up he was outraged at what the two had tried to do. He quickly forgave Hera and turned his rage to Hypnos. In fear, Hypnos took refuge in a cave guarded by his mother, Nyx. When Zeus followed him to that cave he was instead met by Nyx. She demanded for Zeus to stop his chase on her son, and since even the gods are scared of her, he agreed and rushed off.

## Powers and Abilities

She is able to control, alter, create, and manipulate anything and everything in Creation unless a being equal or greater then her interferes. Due to being its personification, Nyx has full knowledge of the concept of the night, which she also rules. For example, she was able to plunge her island in the Aegean Sea in an endless night and is able to cover herself with a black aura.

It all falls under one big category that is the primordial particle.
* **Immense Strength**: As a Primordial Goddess, Nyx is able to go toe-to-toe and even surpass the strongest of beings with nothing but the force of her physical blows.

* **Darkness Manipulation**: As the Primordial Goddess of the Night, Nyx has divine authority and absolute control over shadows and darkness, though not as the degree of her brother, Erebus. She can take form of a spinning dark aura and is capable of covering the whole area with the darkness of the night and destroying magic barriers.
	+ **Shadow Travel**: Nyx can use shadow and darkness to travel, melting herself into the darkness and reappears anywhere else from the same element. She can also forcefully transport others away using the same methods.
	+ **Darkness Absorption and Dissipation**: She can absorb and dissipate shadows with no restriction.
* **Shadow Weaponry**: Nyx could create a seemingly endless amount of weaponry from solidified darkness. These weapons possess the unique power of absorbing all the umbra-kinetic attacks they touch and could absorb parts of the darkness around their surrounding, making them a little brighter than usual.

		- **Animated Shadow**: She can transform hers or other's shadows into living beings. As the rule of anything happening to the real body happens to the shadow, this ability may allow Nyx to manipulate the shadow and cause damage in reality by using it to attack. This means anything that happens to the shadow will be reflected in the true body; in short, a form of "reverse" shadow puppetry.
	+ **Absolute Darkness**: She is able to create a field of absolute impenetrable darkness that completely negates sight and may also dull or even completely negate the other senses. She is potentially able to generate darkness so intense it can completely obliterate objects in its path.

* **Shadow Camouflage**: Nyx can use shadows to cover herself in darkness to become invisible.

She could control multiple 'puppets' at the same time, and only lose control of them if she lost the sight of their shadow.
* **Umbrakinesis**: Nyx can control darkness and shadows as if they were physical constructs, most notably using them to bind opponents. She can additionally summon humanoid shadow constructs. Nyx can also generate bursts of shadows capable of reducing her own children to ashes.

* **Lunar Manipulation**: Nyx can create, shape and manipulate all aspects of a moon/moons, including its gravity and the effects it has on the planet, reflective surface, time-keeping, etc. and use its lunar energy. Given that it is the brightest object in the sky after the Sun, Moons prominence in the sky and its regular cycle of phases have, since ancient times, made the Moon an important cultural influence on language, calendars, art and mythology. The Moon's gravitational influence produces the ocean tides and the minute lengthening of the day.
	+ **Lunar Constructs**: Nyx can turn lunar energy into tools, objects, weapons and other items, create semi-living constructs and/or create structures/buildings of varying permanence. Nyx can use it for almost any situation, creating anything she needs.
		- **Shield Generation**: Nyx has displayed the ability manifest the Moon as a protective shield.
* **Astral Manipulation**: Nyx can create, shape and manipulate astral energy, allowing her to project her astral form on the physical plane and to the astral plane and interact there, see spirits, making spirits visible to others, astral trapping and potentially harming the dead. She can allow others to be able to use temporary astral projection or block others from astral projecting, sending them back to their bodies if they had already projected.
* **Primordial Sky Manipulation**: Nyx can create, shape and manipulate the skies of an ancient primordial nature. As opposed to regular Sky Manipulation, this power is only available by deities, avatars, or living embodiment of the sky itself. As such, she can cause natural sky-related phenomena to manifest, such as creating auroras, calling upon lightning, make it rain, etc.
* **Parthenogenesis**: Nyx was capable of conceiving children without a partner, seemingly sired by her strongest feelings at the moment, whose capabilities followed those circumstances.
* **Claws**: Nyx uses her sharpened nails like a weapon, and they are capable of piercing steel skin.

* **Devoured Space**: She is able to manipulate darkness to shield herself, thus nothing may reach her.
* **Blackout Crush**: Nyx creates an entire dimension made of pure darkness and traps the target inside. She then closes her palm, and the dimension shrinks, crushing whatever was inside.
