## Bio

The Nilai-Kanai are a race of extraterrestrial beings who created the human race on Earth. They are a curious and inquisitive race that seeks knowledge, which can is the driving force behind the majority of their actions. Due to their ability to take on the appearance of other life forms, they have no true form and are able to essentially live for long spans of time. Some members of their species have been known to act as divine beings to other races they see as beneath them to help spread their ideas and beliefs among them. Humanity is seen as just an experiment, so they will rarely act on their behalf when they're in dire trouble.

## History

### 18 Million Years Ago

The Nilai-Kanai discover Earth and send a group of their scientists to the planet to conduct experiments regarding species and societal evolutions with the planet's species. The goal of these experiments was to see how a race of highly-intelligent organisms that evolved from less-intelligent organisms would behave over time. After deciding to experiment on primates, the scientists use genetic engineering to create the primate taxonomic family of Hominidae.

### 16 Million Years Ago

The group of Nilai-Kanai scientists create another new taxonomic primate family: the Homininae. As time goes on, the scientists observe the Hominidae and Hominiae, only making subtle interferences in their evolution for the purpose of experimentation and curiosity. For the most part, the Nilai-Kanai keep their distance.

### 50,000 Years Ago

The Nilai-Kanai scientists decide to interact with the Homo sapiens more directly to establish what will become present day human religions to instill the notions of almighty beings watching over them and the idea of an afterlife amongst their species.

### 11,000 Years Ago

One of the Nilai-Kanai scientists fears that humanity's rapid evolution will cause them to create horrific inventions that would cause devastation for all life in the universe, so they take it upon themselves to cause a miniature apocalypse event to slow the progression of humanity's evolution. This individual (later referred to as Tsukuyomi, the god of the underworld in Japanese religion) infuses themselves with the elemental energies of Earth and the DNA of King Ghidorah, creating the kaiju Orochi. Unfortunately, Ghidorah's DNA takes control over the newly-created kaiju and influences it into continuing the devastation the golden dragon began 66 million years ago. When the rest of the scientists discover what is happening, two of them (Amaterasu, the goddess of the heavens, and Susanoo, the god of the sea, in Japanese religion) decide to merge together and create Utsuno Ikusagami to stop the eight-headed dragon. The two have a biblical battle that ends with Orochi being slain and its eight heads being severed. The Nilai-Kanai scientists take on their godly appearances and explain that the event was a test to see if humanity was worthy of continuing to live, and the death of Orochi proved that they were.

### AD 71

The question of what hybridized humans would be like comes to mind, so the Nilai-Kanai scientists observing humanity decide to create Human/Nilai-Kanai hybrids in secret among the human population. Disguising themselves as humans, several individuals impregnated selected human females across the globe.

### AD 72

The first of the Human/Nilai-Kanai hybrids are born: Ousu and , twins of Emperor Keiko and Empress Inahi of the Yamato Kingdom. When Tsukinowa attempts to dispose of Ōsu as part of his plan to usurp Keiko's lineage and take over the kingdom, one of the scientists saves the child from being thrown over a cliff by transforming into Amano Shiratori.

### AD 88-91

The Nilai-Kanai scientists would continue observing the Human/Nilai-Kanai hybrids, but some would interact with Prince Ousu and his journey by taking on the form of Amano Shiratori to help him against the kaiju Gekido-Jin and Varan.
