Amatsu Mikaboshi

**Amatsu-Mikaboshi**, also known as the **Scarecrow Male of Heaven** is the Primordial God of Darkness, Sin, Malice, the Stars, Void and Nothingness. He is a fragment of khaos that existed long before Creation and she gave birth to Kotoamatsukami, whom he grew to hate because their existence caused his discomfort.

He was defeated and locked in the Ancient Sea of Primeval Energies, where his essence corrupted anything the Kotoamatsukami created for a millenia, until Amenominakanushi created Yomi, locking his in there.

He is the husband of Amenokagaseo, and together they created the Kotoamatsukami consisting of seven Primordial Entities consisted of Amenominakanushi, Musubi, Kami-Musubi, Takami-Musubi, Umashiashikabihikoji, Amenotokotachi, Shinigami - who together created the Shinto Mythology.

Later on, after being driven to Land of Izumo by Izanagi and Izanami, Amatsu-Mikaboshi fell in love with a mortal girl and gave birth to Shishioka Yukine, possessor of the Longinus; **Zephyr Shift,** being the possessor of the Abyssal Dragon, **Diablo** resides in.

## Overview

Amatsu-Mikaboshi, meaning the "August Star of Heaven" is the god of evil and of the stars, specifically the pole star in Japanese mythology. Despite being mentioned in Eastern lore, the exact details and characterizations of Amatsu-Mikaboshi are very cloudy or unclear,as she is rarely if ever mentioned in any of the typically referenced texts of East Asian Mythology.

From what can be gleaned and pieced together from ancient Japanese myths, Mikaboshi is not a physical god in the sense like Amaterasu or Susano-o, but a dark Force that existed before the universe, reigning alone in absolute darkness and control. This, however, proved to be untrue in a sense as Mikaboshi was in fact a child of Chaos herself that existed before the universe and not being the primordial chaos itself.

Under Chinese Buddhist influence, she was identified with Myōken, either as the pole star or Venus, before being combined with the god of all stars, Amenominakanushi.

## Appearance

Amatsu-Mikaboshi is an elusive force of nature with her true form being that of an immense formless darkness that could cover the whole of Takamagahara in shadow. It has been compared to an eldritch entity or a starless sky.

Amatsu-Mikaboshi is a tall, slim handsome man with long black hair partially tied up behind his head while the rest drapes down his back. He has small black eyes and bangs that occasionally cover the left eye. His earlobes are large enough to fit fairly large circular earrings. Amatsu-Mikaboshi's hair was much shorter as a student. Most of it tied up but his bangs were still as prominent.

Amatsu-Mikaboshi wore a normal black uniform. While masquerading himself under the facade of a Buddhist priest, Suguru dons the appropriate attire. He sports a gold-colored rakusu garment over black yukata robes. His monk attire is completed with white tabi socks and zori sandals.

## Personality

Amatsu-Mikaboshi is a grumpy, hollow, often malicious and hostile entity. Most of all, she desires to rest in the vast nothingness that comes with the asbence of Creation. He also views humans and other lesser races as a plague and wishes to eradicate them. He ideals are a complete opposite to Amenominakanushi.

Amatsu-Mikaboshi does not like to take things seriously and will often mock the suggestion of his doing any hard work. He is almost completely inactive, impassionate and uncaring towards the concepts of good and evil or the principals of the established Shinto Pantheon.

Amatsu-Mikaboshi's view on 'affection' is somewhat twisted by her own idealogy. He displays her affection through close contact and open displays of intimacy, but does not voice it outloud nor does he make an effort to make her point clear past that. As a true advocate of chaos and nothingness, Amatsu-Mikaboshi will not go out of her way to protect those she loves. He caresses them silently and protects them only in the darkness. Hereasoning is simple: "For it is the Kotoamatsukami's role to protect the living in the Light".

## History

Amatsu-Mikaboshi's origin begins during Chaos's fight with Order, in which the two omnipotent deities received significant damage from one another. Amatsu-Mikaboshi was one of the three big fragments that split from Chaos, the other two beings Hundun and Nun.

Amatsu-Mikaboshi was sapient, but had practically highly intelligence. He wondered the yet-to-be created multiverse, aimlessly strolling the sea of primeval energies as a formless blob of darkness. That is, until he came across Amenokagaseo. Though it was his job to eradicate things such as his, Amenokagaseo noticed how Amatsu-Mikaboshi, instead of attacking, began studying her up close and he was desperately trying to resonate with her far superior essence.

The little fragment of Chaos and God grew to share an affectionate bond akin to a family. Amatsu-Mikaboshi grew extremely strong and it wasn't long before he learned how to communicate as other Primordial Entities did. As a token of appriciation for taking care of her, Amatsu-Mikaboshi told Amenokagaseo he would become her husband and bear her children.

Sometimes during his life, he met and became the lover of Amenokagaseo - the Brilliant Female of Heaven, and fathered with her seven kids: Amenominakanushi, Musubi, Kami-Musubi, Takami-Musubi, Umashiashikabihikoji, Amenotokotachi, Shinigami - Seven Primordial Gods who would later be known as the Kotoamatsukami, the Progenitors of the Shinto Mythology.

The family would live together in peace and harmony throughout the Third Period, remaining unknown about the Creation War happening outside of Takamagahara until the fateful Battle of Takamagahara where Amenokagaseo’s corporeal body was destroyed and she was forced to return to the Light. Enraged and saddened by his lover’s death, Amatsu-Mikaboshi became wrathful and traveled to Earth, creating endless discord and destruction in his path.

It was Amenominakanushi and Musubi who organized their siblings and resisted Amatsu-Mikaboshi's oppressive control. Only Amenominakanushi and Musubi could face his on their own, but with the help of their siblings, Amatsu-Mikaboshi was quickly overwhelmed and defeated. However, even when subdued, his dark essence sipped out and corrupted anything they created. Kami-Musubi came up with the idea of locking his up in a special realm, meant to contain such corruptions. Amenominakanushi created Yomi and placed his right at the bottom of it, sealing his with a thousand forbidden seals.

For the duration of all the Creation Wars and the earliest ages of Creation, Amatsu-Mikaboshi would spend her time in Soku, the lowest depths of Yomi, where she plotted his revenge against Amenominakanushi. He was freed by an envy-consumed Kami-Musubi who wanted to overthrow her older brother and take his power for herself. She utilized Amatsu-Mikaboshi and together they wrought havoc on Takamagahara. They even came close to destroying Amenominakanushi, but due to his will proving great, Kami-Musubi and Amatsu-Mikaboshi were brutally defeated in one epic final showdown.

Amatsu-Mikaboshi was left so weakened from her last fight with his oldest son, that he grew fearful of him and sought to avoid him at any cost. Later on, she was even unable to overcome Izanami and Izanagi wielding the Amenonuhoko as they drove her to Izumo.Forced to hide, Amatsu-Mikaboshi took on an youkai form and blended in with the population of Izumo.

Knowing that going up against Kotoamatsukami again would just lead to his being sealed or worse, weakened yet again, Amatsu-Mikaboshi desired to live a life away from Yomi or Kotoamatsukami. He became a scholar, a healer, and a doctor, using all the knowledge his wife had taught him as a way to repent for his past actions and help to protect the new youkai. He fell in love with Shishioka Tsumiki, who taught him how to connect with other youkai. From him, her gave birth to a girl - Shishioka Yukine.

There was a massive explosion of darkness when Shishioka Yukine was born, alerting The Watcher who reported to Amenominakanushi. Thinking fast, Amenominakanushi quickly arrived in Izumo and once again defeated and locked away Amatsu-Mikaboshi. He wanted to get rid of Shishioka Yukine, too, but due to having his nature changed by Benzaiten, he spared her and left the baby girl alone, until 2018 when the Takamagahara War happened and his wife's return.

Amatsu-Mikaboshi is also featured in Takemikazuchi's legend, where the god stumbles upon the deity as it tries to escape Yomi, but he stops it with help from Hachiman and Susanoo who give him the power to drive it back into the cold abyss of Soku. From there on, there exist no further mentions of Amatsu-Mikaboshi, as it is likely the entity ceased being active for many eons.

## Powers and Abilities

**Nigh-Omnipotence**: While not as great as Chaos, she does have the abilities destruction, infinity, endless power and others. He was described as both omnipotent and unbeatable by those aware of his existence. Amatsu-Mikaboshi is only equated by his two oldest children and Benzaiten and Bishamonten, and surpassed by his daughter. However, given that he was extremely weakened from all her fights with Amenominakanushi and Kotoamatsukami, even Takemikazuchi was able to hold his own against his.

**Immense Strength**: Amatsu-Mikaboshi was one of the strongest beings in the multiverse during her hayday and could even defeat several Primordial Entities and Old Ones with ease. He power was on par with that of Chronos, the eldest of the Protogenos. The powers she gained while serving him were passed down to his children, who in their desire to create worlds and dispell the void, defeated him and locked him away. After this, Amatsu-Mikaboshi would fight against her descendants three more times, before she grew so weak even Takemikazuchi was able to drive his back to his prison with a bit of help from Hachiman and Susanoo. At the moment, he is still an immensely powerful goddess, being able to overwhelm the likes of Amaterasu and Takemikazuchi without much difficulty, though any member of the Kotoamatsukami is capable of defeating his on their own.

**Immense Durability**: As a Progenitor God, Amatsu-Mikaboshi is capable of withstanding many powerful entities' attacks. He can survive several attacks that would be able to wipe out entire universes in one-shot. Even while weakened, his near-indestructible nature still remains. He is shown to be resiliant enough to endure an onslaught of attacks from Amenominakanushi and later from Cthulhu.

**Immense Speed**: Amatsu-Mikaboshi is very fast and agile, able to keep up with some of the fastest beings in the Shinto Pantheon. He could react to attacks from Amenominakanushi and Hundun and counter-attack.

**Primordial Darkness Manipulation**: Amatsu-Mikaboshi can control the primal darkness that has existed before creation, and represents the darker aspect of primal creation alongside the Light, both being two halves of the same coin, yet stand opposite. Due to its primordial nature it goes beyond concepts of good, evil, and even neutrality. Her power is the opposite to Amenominakanushi.

**Evil Manipulation**: Amatsu-Mikaboshi can manipulate evil and anything bad, including the bad/evil side of morality and bad things happening to people, as well as what is evil/bad.

**Genius-Intellect**: Amatsu-Mikaboshi possesses a relatively high level of intelligence, or at least he did in the far past. Back when she was known as "Sorcerer of the Void", Amatsu-Mikaboshi was considered to be on par with the other genuises who inhabitted Takamagahara, which was akin to saying she was almost as smart as Four Great Gods. He displayed immense knowledge and wisdom when fighting Nyx. It's likely most of that knowledge was passed down to his children, especially Amenominakanushi and Musubi. Even now, she understands the Shinto Pantheon and the rest of the world better than Amatsukami or Kamiyonanayo.

**Flight**: Amatsu-Mikaboshi has the ability to fly effortlessly.

## Equipment

**Meticilous Majestic Myriad**: The MxMxM is an equipment which Amatsu-Mikaboshi possessed in the past, when he was in his prime. Under the protection and guidance of the Personafication of the Void itself - Chaos, Amatsu-Mikaboshi was able to develop his own form of cosmic abilities. "So may the endless ocean of your stars encompass all" - so is the saying of the oldest Priest of Takamagahara.

* **Shooting Star Series**: A series of techniques involving a single powerful blast released by Amatsu-Mikaboshi. The methods of release and the end result are unique with every technique. All of these techniques are supposedly powerful enough to defeat almost any Primordial-Class Being.
	+ **Shooting Star: Matter-Tearing Canon**: Amatsu-Mikaboshi creates an astral canon-like structure of exotic golden luster. The bottom bore of this 'canon' is then loaded up with unfathomable amounts of cosmic power via Amatsu-Mikaboshi gathering her energy into a ball and then inserting it. After fully charging up, Amatsu-Mikaboshi kicks the neck of the canon, creating a force powerful enough to rocket the energy ball in faster-than-light velocity. The end-result is an attack that tears through all kinds of matter and spatial structure without limit. However, it takes some time to fully charge up and there exist matter of higher dimensional worlds that can cancel the attack out.
	+ **Shooting Star: Temporal-Tearing Sword**: Amatsu-Mikaboshi can summon a sword of non-specific shape, which is comprised purely out of cosmic energy. Amatsu-Mikaboshi curls the ringer, blacky and thumb while tightly pressing the index and middle fingers of his left hand, and pushes him right hand far back. He gathers immense cosmic energy at two endpoints of his hands and connects them, creating a sword-like object. The sword is very specific in nature. It cannot deal damage to matter or spatial constructs, but instead only targets temporal constructs. During his battle with Nyx in the past, he was able to tear through the veils of darkness that stopped time around her.
	+ **Shooting Star: Conceptual-Tearing Wand**: Amatsu-Mikaboshi peels off part of her arm and hurls it into the starry abyss. Then, she summons it back. Coated in the vast power of Xadldir, the piece takes the form of a wand, capable of preforming many cosmic miracles. It allows Amatsu-Mikaboshi to freely control space and time without expending any energy. Amatsu-Mikaboshi can sacrifice the wand to destroy or weaken a concept, which is something he did in his fight with Nyx, weakening the concept of "Night" itself.

**Playful Cloud** (游雲 *Yū-Un***?**): A special grade divine equipment Amatsu-Mikaboshi used to fight Nyx at the same time. He was effectively able to block, parry, and counter-attack with the three-section staff. By infusing it with his cursed energy, Amatsu-Mikaboshi could generate enough destructive force to smash Amenominakanushi's extremely hard shell. It is a three-section staff that bolster's the user's physical strength with divine energy, where Amatsu-Mikaboshi uses it to great effect.
