## Origins

### Summary

Progenitor Gods who are sealed within the fifteen Miraculous Jewels.

**Elder Gods**, also called the **Kwami** or the **Quantum Gods**, are the fifteen Progenitor Gods who were sealed into the Miraculous Jewels. They were responsible for the Theia Catastrophe, in which the first Sun and Moon in the universe after the Great Flood were born.

## Summary

The Elder Gods are a group of fifteen Progenitor Gods who were responsible for the Theia Catastrophe, a cataclysmic event that spawned the first Sun and Moon since their destruction in the Great Flood, albeit at the near destruction of the universe itself, mere centuries after the Big Bang.

As punishment, they were sealed by the Hindu Creator God Brahma into the fifteen Miraculous Jewels, which were then entrusted to Agamotto and his Masters of the Mystic Arts. After Agamotto's ascension to godhood, the mystic order fell to a civil war, in which the jewels were taken and sealed away by a group of defected sorcerers in a secret temple of Tibet.

For millennia, the Miraculous Jewels remain in the sorcerers' protection, who had come to call themselves the Guardians, and were only lent out on special occasions to assist heroes and mythical figures in their journey. However, in 1844, due to the careless mistakes of Wang Fu, a monstrous spirit created by the Peacock Miraculous slaughtered the entire Order of the Guardians, leaving him the only survivor of the carnage and the Miraculous Jewels' last keeper.

Afterward, using the power of his Sacred Gear, Wang Fu managed to semi-release the seals on the Miraculous Jewels, allowing the Elder Gods to manifest in the mortal world in the form of little, almost doll-like faeries. Since then, he and the Elder Gods have traveled across the world, secretly fighting alongside modern heroes to preserve peace through multiple means.

## Appearance

Like other Progenitor Gods, the Elder Gods' true appearance are value, abstract, and primordial forces in a semi-corporeal form. While interacting in the mortal world, they took on the form of unnaturally beautiful humans, often with animalistic traits and/or characteristics.

Thanks to Wang Fu's special enchantment, while the seals on the Miraculous Jewels are semi-broken, they can take on the form of 10cm tall sprites, with a large head and eyes, little limbs, and a tiny doll-like body. Each of them have traits and characteristics similar to the animals that are their sacred animals or are associated with their concepts.

## Members

There are a total of fifteen Elder Gods, each symbolized by a different animal and inhabiting a different Miraculous Jewel. Even then, the Elder Gods can be categorized into three different categories based on their different attributes:

* **Yin and Yang**: Tikki (Creation) and Plagg (Destruction).
* **Five Elements**: Pollen (Subjection), Wayzz (Protection), Trixx (Illusion), Nooroo (Transmission), and Duusu (Emotion).
* **Twelve Zodiac**: Mullo (Multiplication), Stompp (Determination), Roaar (Exaltation), Fluff (Passion), Longg (Perfection), Sass (Transformation), Kaalki (Transportation), Ziggy (Aspiration), Xuppu (Derision), Orikko (Pretension), Barkk (Adoration), and Daizzi (Jubilation).

## Trivia

* The name "Kwami" means "a quantic (small) *kami*".
* While in their chibi form, they user different names with double letters in it to "lessen the embarrassment".
* While their divinity is limited by the Miraculous Jewels, they can still manipulate reality on *some* level, enough to ennact minor miracles for their wielder.
* Despite popular belief that they are brewing with anger and revenge inside the Miraculous, the reality is quite the opposite as most of them are either apathetic or accepting the situation.
* Despite sharing the same name and attributes with some mythological figures, the Elder Gods and these figures are not one and the same, one being Progenitor Gods existed since before the Big Bang while the other are much younger heroes and/or divinities.
* In the Cthulhu Mythos, they are considered masters of eldritch beings known as the Great Old Ones.
