*"You stand before mighty Ouranos, insect. Kneel or be squashed."*

*-Ouranos, Lord of All Creation*

Ouranos is the mightiest of the seven Primordials, and was the first and only being to successfully claim and rule over all Creation. Since the end of his reign, the Age of Thunder, no other individual, including his Primordial siblings, have ever replicated that feat. Though he has long been absent from Creation's affairs since being betrayed and castrated by his son, Kronos, his name still inspires awe and respect, as most of the pantheons within Creation can trace their ancestry back to him as their forefather. Never has his might been rivaled, much less surpassed, and the possibility of his return and inevitable ascendance is something most every ruler in Creation would wish to prevent.

## Biography

### In the Prime

Ouranos was the third of the Primordials to awaken. The first being he encountered upon attaining consciousness was Gaia. Besides her, the only other Primordial at the time was Aeon, who was cold and aloof. As a result, Ouranos spent most of his time in Gaia's company, becoming enamored with her warmth and kindness. The awakening of his younger siblings was most displeasing to Ouranos, as he now had to compete with them for Gaia's attention. His youngest brother Tartarus especially vexed him with his constant talking, and Ouranos would frequently cast him off into the far reaches of the Prime whenever he tired of his presence. Though Gaia scolded him for this every time, she never pressed the matter hard enough to sway the stubborn and prideful Ouranos.

Ouranos soon discovered that he was one of the strongest spirits within the Prime, a fact which caused his ego to swell tremendously. While he often demonstrated his might against his brothers, Apophis, Ra, and Tartarus, Ouranos was never secure enough to test himself against his mysterious and reclusive eldest sibling, Aeon. Ra and Apophis were frequent quarellers, and Ouranos intervened on many occasions to forcibly halt their bickering, oftentimes on Gaia's request. His sister Nyx made several attempts to sway him away from Gaia and use his power for her own ends, but Ouranos still largely preferred Gaia as a companion.

#### The Plan for Creation

It was she who first came to him with the proposal for Creation, after having been informed of the idea by Ra. Wishing to please Gaia, Ouranos gave his support to the idea. All the other Primordials also agreed to the plan, bar Apophis. When Tartarus burst into anger at Apophis's refusal, and suggested they make him participate by force, Ouranos was impressed that his youngest sibling had finally demonstrated some spine. Utterly apathetic to Apophis's wishes to not be constrained by the Creation they envisioned, Ouranos agreed with Tartarus. He participated as the Primordials bound themselves into their new Creation, and was the primary force that dragged Apophis in as well.

### The Age of Genesis

Ouranos was integral in the early aspects of Creation. He was among several who assisted Nyx in the Creation of the Void, after she put forth its initial design. While Gaia created the Terrene Realms, and Ra the Aetherius, Ouranos formed a plane of existence all his own: The High Tempest, a plane of clouds, winds, cold and storms. In doing so, Ouranos laid the groundwork for the Divine Dominions of Sky, Water, and Frost, bringing those elements into reality. Using the elements within the High Tempest, Ouranos bestowed upon each of Gaia's Terrene Realms a shield against the emptiness of the Void, which he arrogantly dubbed the Ouranian Spheres.

When Nyx presented the finalized design for souls, Ouranos bore witness as Tartarus attempted to assert that he was the one originally responsible for the idea. Ouranos was first to dismiss his claim, due to his low opinion of Tartarus and his abilities. Later, when it came time to begin creating other being, Ouranos, along with Ra, firmly rejected Tartarus's proposal that their creations be made equal to themselves. He was rather ambivalent towards Tartarus's suggestion that all creatures be allowed to reproduce on their own, but when the Primordials created gender and sex for the first time, Ouranos took on a male form.

As the Primordials were finalizing the structures of Creation, Tartarus sought Ouranos out, wishing to learn of the Dominions Ouranos had devised and mastered in order to create worlds of his own. Ouranos had no wish to suffer Tartarus's presence, especially not when he would have to compete for Gaia's attention with his runt brother, and was largely responsible for Tartarus's exclusion from Creation's great works. When Tartarus created worlds of his own, and proudly presented them to his siblings for their evaluation, Ouranos burst out laughing at him, and Nyx followed suit, which convinced Ouranos of his supreme sense of humor. Ouranos took no consideration of the fact that Tartarus had devised his realms all on his own, without having been given a chance to create his own elements and energies, and only saw the fact that Tartarus's realms were inferior to the ones he and the others had crafted.

Ouranos, whilst present when his siblings decided on the workings of Death, did not contribute much to the conversation, being content as long as his superiority over the lesser beings was assured. However, Tartarus, who had not been consulted on the matter at all, and now found his beloved creations subject to death, was so angry that he attacked Ouranos. The Lord of the Heavens effortlessly defeated the weakest of his siblings, casting him down towards the worlds he had made.

Later on, with the work of Creation largely complete, Ouranos found the Terrene Realms being attacked by Apophis, who was still bitter over having been forced to be locked within Creation. Knowing the distress the destruction of Gaia's worlds would cause her, Ouranos rose to their defense, brutally thrashing Apophis and hurling him down towards Tartarus's plane. Tartarus later approached him, telling Ouranos that Apophis had begun destroying his worlds, and begging his mighty brother for aid. Though the situation pleased Ouranos's vanity, he contemptuously scorned his brother's request, haughtily declaring that protecting "such trash" was not worth his time. Furthermore, he warned Tartarus not to go whining to Gaia with this news, or suffer the consequences.

When at last, Creation was finalized, Ouranos found that Aeon, the only sibling whose power he had always remained unsure of, had devoted themselves so fully to Creation that they lapsed into inactivity. With the only possible threat to his power gone, Ouranos declared himself the Lord of All Creation, after a display of dominance where he flung Apophis to the far reaches of Creation, and forced Ra to kneel before him and swear allegiance. This act saw a shift in the flow of time, and began the Age of Thunder.

## Personality

### Pre Castration

Before he was betrayed and humbled by his wife Gaia and their Titan sons, Ouranos was one of the most arrogant beings in all Creation. Admittedly, this was not without just reason, as he was by far the mightiest being in the cosmos, but Ouranos relished in this fact. Being able to lord over all other beings swelled his ego to gargantuan proportions. Ouranos was convinced that he was utterly invincible, and that Creation would be ruled by him for all time. As such, Ouranos viewed himself as the greatest and most important entity in the cosmos. He deserved respect and obedience from all, in his view, and any who questioned or challenged him in any way would incur his wrath. He was a mercurial entity indeed, as quick to storm as the heavens he created.

When roused, Ouranos's fury was fearsome. At the best, those who angered him could expect to be shouted at, insulted and threatened by the most thunderously loud voice in existence. At worst (which happened much more frequently) Ouranos would erupt into violence, brutally beating whoever had provoked him. However, Ouranos's ego rarely allowed him to kill such individuals, as he wished for them to "repent of their folly" and "recognize his majesty".

For Ouranos's vanity truly knew no bounds. Praise was his due, he thought, and receiving it was the natural way of things. Stroking his ego was the easiest way to calm Ouranos from his rages, and a sure method of getting into his good graces. He was capricious, however, and easily withdrew his favor, enjoying it when people would struggle to earn it. Such games he often played with his children, praising them one day and deriding them the next. Of course, in his view, self-praise was entirely justified, and he would often boast about his mighty deeds. Oftentimes, when one of his offspring accomplished something impressive, he would find away to relate it back to himself.

So consumed was Ouranos by personal obsession that he viewed every other being through the lens of himself. *His* wife. *His* brother. *His* children. Everything was *his*. As Lord of All Creation, Ouranos felt he had the right to do as he pleased with everything in existence, and any who denied this right were blasphemers, deserving of punishment.

Fortunately for those who endured his rule, Ouranos was not what one would describe as "focused". His rages, laughs and lusts came and went like the wind. He rarely dwelt on the past, and thought seldom of the future, preferring to keep his attention entirely on the present. As such, while it was easy to anger him, Ouranos's rages were brief, and causes of previous wrath were quickly forgotten.

## Powers

*"My husband is the most powerful being in the cosmos, bar none. Even among we Primordials, there is no one who can stand against him alone. His power is unmatched. In one on one personal combat, he is invincible. I cannot bring him down without you, my children."*

*-Gaia to her children the Titans, regarding Ouranos's unrivaled might.*
