Bujoxe

The **Bujoxe** (also known as the **Gods of Pain** or **Gods of Torment**) are a race of mostly-evil deities whose names are uttered instinctively by Heronoi whenever they are hurt or frustrated. Many of these names are locked into their DNA, although some Heronoi have been mutated without any knowledge of those names or the fear of lunar eclipses and ice cream.

## Kings of Vigefion

Those "kings of Vigefion" were based on actual monarchs that reigned since the creation of the Epadwaranai.

* Angára - the first king. The god of pain and torment, the lord of tormentors and cruelty.
	+ During his reign, he punished Matokawa by creating clones of himself to interbreed with the early Epadwaranai and then to be tortured and eaten. The same king himself was murdered by his brother and cut into steak.
* Maizoki, Waizoke, Waisoke - the second king. The god of ice cream, death, cannibalism, vampires, and blood drinking.
	+ Angára's lieutenant and brother, killed and ate him to seize the throne.
* Kurekata, Quorekoteja, Koteja - the third king. The god of mutilation, and lost eyes or limbs.
	+ Killed Maizoke to seize the throne and ate his eyes.
* Mindaruti, Darotije - the fourth king. The inventor of misogyny, he murdered female clones.
	+ Killed Kurekata to seize the throne.
* Dandukaso, Kasaso, Dutkaso - the fifth king. The inventor of misandry, he murdered male clones.
* Anduraquono, Rēquondaki, Quondakē, Kuttako - the sixth king. The god of birthdays, old age, time, aging, and death.
	+ He aged clones to death or reduced them to babies and fetuses.
* Jesakoro, Kesako - the seventh king. He halted the tortures of the Heronoi to save them, but he also sold them like dolls to other civilisations (who tortured them for sport). Killed by his lieutenant, the eighth king.
* Dareja - the eighth king. Engaged in bloodsports, is killed by his rival Karijoka, who became the ninth king.
* Karijoka - the ninth king.

* Thanexon, Xarexon, Karitkausaro, Wanzaxo, Iriditwon, Duronboskon, Herebatai - seven kings of Vigefion during the Opening of the Skies. This was when the Arnadjanai destroyed the Vigefionian stations orbiting the planet and killed and ate their inhabitants.

## Other Bujoxeoi

* Matokawa, Dwokawa, Dwokewa - the "father" of all Epadwaranai. From him, hundreds of male clones were created to interbreed and marry with the Iron-Silver or Iron-Golden mixed humanoids, or be tortured for his masters' amusement.
* Kastaka, Kasewa - the "mother" of all Epadwaranai. From her, hundreds of female clones were created to breed with early male Epadwaranai. They were also tormented and murdered by their masters for their amusement.
	+ The Kastaka-clones sometimes tricked male Heronoi into fighting and killing each other to win their affection.
* Arejanna, Rejane, Reware - the goddess of truth and liberation. She turned against the Vigefionian rulers by building her own army of automatons.
	+ When she was on the verge of defeat, she killed herself by detonating explosives so the Vigefionians will never create clones from her cells. They were unable to recreate her as her charred bones crumbled to ash.
	+ Nonetheless, the Vigefionians on Wosono were supposedly haunted by her ghost until their defeat. Her ghost also occasionally appeared to the Epadwaranai, inspiring them to unify themselves into a powerful civilisation or to sabotage their oppressors. To honour her, she is venerated as Arija, the goddess of truth and apples, for she leaves apple saplings and forests of apple trees after she vanishes.
* Kotikoro - the scientist who created the first Epadwaranai from Matokawa's and Kastaka's cells. Later a war god invoked whenever Heronoi are stuck in a fit of berserk rage.
* Sokekoro - the first tormentor. He went to Wosono to hunt, kill, and eat clones; but he met his doom in a laboratory when he was crushed to death by an ogre. He became a god of fear.
* Buwata - the god of strength. A bodybuilder who was banished to Wosono to breed with the local women, but he wandered alone as he refused to become a stud.
* Mizakinta and Hiriza, Kireza - a two headed goddess of pain. She was actually two people who tormented Heronoi prisoners. working for Minewa. They were the ones who poisoned their master.
* Minewa, Nidewa, Midewa - goddess of sorrow and agony. She tortured female Heronoi (and any weak males she captured) to hear their screams and sobs, drinking their tears and blood. She died of poisoning after she drank too much blood and tears, corroding her innards with acid.
* Keduka, Deduka - the god of separation. He tore Heronoi into multiple clones and tortured the clones, enjoying their screams as they pleaded him not to tear them apart.
* Totejo - the god of nightmares and deception. He implanted various nightmares and instincts into the Heronoi through injections and forced drinks that mutated their DNA.
* Mideke, Dwideke, Doideka, Dojödeka, Jö(n)deka - god of wrong names, insults, curses, and handicaps. He manipulated and mutated the Heronoi to suffer from genetic disorders and handicaps, including their fear of lunar eclipses and berserk rage.
	+ One day, he accidentally injected himself with his own poison, and killed himself after being tormented with his own nightmares.

* Gerattoko, Gerato - the god of ice-cream, blood-drinking, vampires, and cannibalism. Cannibals who die end up being torn apart by this evil god.
	+ He was supposedly the master (or creator) of the paitejo, a race of vampire demons from frozen realms and winter.
* The Twelve Thinkers (Todwekai, Thadwekoi) - twelve philosophers (or sorcerers) who were banished to be incinerated within a furnace-star as an experiment to see what their souls will become.
	+ Months after their disappearance, they appeared to torment the Vigefionians who sent them to their deaths. Occasionally, the Thadwekoi appeared to their masters' creations to stir them into rebelling and forming their own civilisations.
	+ In Wosono (and later the Heronoi), each Thadweko represents an emotion and a colour, such as joy, fear, excitement, romance, rage, courage, and torment. Some Epadwaranai invoked their names to channel their magical powers.
* Tatura, Dozura - the goddess of tattoos, scars, wounds, and mutilation. Totejo and Tatura were husband and wife, and they died together in a fire that burned their laboratory.
* Midasoto, Mindasoto, Dasoto - the god of love. Unlike the other wikefo/bujoxe, he was kind and he did not torture the other Heronoi. He paired compatible Heronoi to breed, making him the god of matchmaking and weddings.
