Kassogtha

**Kassogtha** or **Murasaki Shikibu** is the second wife of Cthulhu and the mother of four of his children - Shaurash-Ho, Nctosa and Nctulhu and Ult, as well as the progenitor of the Vortex Parasites which aided Cthulhu conquering many galaxies. She is the daughter of Star Mother and Star Black and the one who inherits their territories after the two go to sleep in Ycnàgnnisssz's realm.

She is very low-profile in the Lovecraftian Pantheon, with only a few instance of her appearance being recorded, all of which were described as involving a near-planetary apocalypse-like event. She is more well known for her human facade called **Murasaki Shikibu** which she used while living in Japan as a mortal woman.

As Murasaki Shikibu, she is one of the most skilled female authors in the world, almost rivalling the unparalled **Queen of the Arts** Benzaiten. She had a close friendship with the Goddess during her hayday as an author, though she used this bond for her all ends. She also 'befriended' Ayaka Shikone and Shishioka Yukine, temporarily joining Yamikami to be able to observe the Shinto Pantheon closely without being noticed.

After her true identity was discovered she fled Amenominakanushi's territory and hid in the Spiral Abyss, the territory of her parents and her distant relative Void Termina. There, she trained hard to gain more strength, as she was warned that the Outer Gods and Azathoth will soon start a war, so she needed to increase her strength to be prepared.

Kassogtha became a Pillar of the Neo Outer Gods Riege later on. She still pretends to be a mortal writer most of the time, though her current alias is **Dahlia Lovecraft** and she writes more horror-oriented novellas. She is also a substitute literature teacher in **Kuoh Academy**.

## Overview

**Kassogtha** is a Great Old One that is reported to be Cthulhu's sister and mate. She gave birth to Nctosa and Ncothulu. She is described as a writhing mass of tentacles.

Murasaki Shikibu was a Japanese novelist, poet and lady-in-waiting at the Imperial court during the Heian period. She is best known as the author of *The Tale of Genji*, written in Japanese between about 1000 and 1012.

A writer and poet in the Heian Period. The exact circumstances of her life is unknown. She has written works such as “The Tale of Genji”, “Lady Murasaki Collection” and “The Diary of Lady Murasaki”. Her poems are also selected for the “Later Collection of Gleanings of Japanese Poems” as well as subsequent poem anthologies.

She was born to Fujiwara no Tametoki, a scholar in Han studies and a poet. With her lineage on her father’s side renowned for being academics (Her paternal great-grandfather, Fujiwara no Kanesuke, was not only active as a poet, but also penned chronicles and other works like both volumes of “The Chronicles of Prince Shōtoku”, (and was known by the moniker of ’The Riverside Middle Counselor’), it would be obvious how she would be raised to be acquainted to books and texts.

Married to Fujiwara no Nobutaka who was significantly older than her n her twenties, she bore him a son, before he dies three years into their marriage. Kaoruko (Shikibu), who was thus widowed at a young age, started writing a story during the Autumn of that same year; namely her opus “The Tale of Genji”, which spans 54 volumes in total.

## Appearance

Kassogtha is gracious and eloquent woman in appearance, curvaceous with her large chest as the most prominent feature. From the little exposed skin, she appears to be rather pale. She has large round hips similar to Idh-Yaa and her appearance is a sweet mixture of a mother and a rebellious young girl.

Matching her name, her eyes are deep purple. Her incredibly long hair is brown, and splits into multiple long strands that curl rather unnaturally. She has bangs over her forehead, and hairbands decorated with large blue orbs with a purple spiral, tie her hair into cute, ear-like buns.

Her outfit is a beautiful gothic-style dress, the colors consisting mainly of black with blue and purple as complementary ones. The dress's skirt has a spiraled frill all around it. The torso is similar to a corset. The shoulder cloths are large and baggy, and the sleeves are large and open.

The under-chest area is clad in the same material as that of the torso, while the over-chest is composed of a brown material. The dress goes up to her neck, and it possesses an ornamental amethyst over her sternum. On her hips are a blue ornament with a purple spiral, attaching long black and blue strips of cloth to her body. She wears a blue purse with a white diamond pattern tied around her waist by a string of beads.

Kassogtha holds a black umbrella with a blue underside with her right hand. The umbrella is discarded. Kassogtha now wears a pair of black rimmed glasses over her eyes and a chessboard-patterned cloak with wide sleeves over her body. Around her upper body is now a purple rope tied around her.

Kassogtha changes radically. Her hair goes from brown to black and the curls disappear, growing incredibly long and bending upwards like a wave. Her dress is replaced by a multi-layered, multi-colored kimono, consisting of the colors: pink, red, orange, green, and many shades similar to those. Her glasses disappear, and now a glowing purple insignia floats above her head. One of the long skirts of the layers of the kimono resembles a paper fan. She now holds a fan in her right hand, depicting a bonsai tree.

Kassogtha's true form is that of a large serpentine creature seemingly comrpised purely of tentacles with a formless fleshy base that is veiled in a deep black substance which itself is surrounded by a blinding purplish glow. Any lesser entities will experience severe mental trauma upon observing Kassogtha's true form.

## Personality

Kassogtha likes to keep a low-profile to herself and does not enjoy being in the spotlight. She is one of the more discreet Old Ones, as well as the more passive ones. She is an avid reader of good literature and strives to achieve her Magnum Opus whenever she is writing. Because of this, she is often moody and unpleasant to talk to as she gets hit with Writer's Block quite a lot.

Kassogtha will try to avoid getting herself in troublesome situation, but if she finds herself in a tight corner she will use any number of tactics and tricks to benefit her situation. Though she is less vocal about it, she feels great affection for Cthulhu and their offsprings, mostly Nctosa and Nctulhu who accompany her on her intergalactic travels.

Kassogtha attempts to portray an air of elegance, though she is quite clumsy. She deeply enjoys reading, especially books that were written outside of her native country and time. She resents the existence of digital books and prefers paper books. She also holds a fair amount of respect for fellow authors.

The well-mannered “studious” type of woman. Well raised and of good judgement. Discreet. Loves reading. Also loves writing stories sparklingly with the elegance of love and poetry. Is methodical and keeps a diary (a quite realistic diary). Normally acts as a “librarian with a composed demeanor” but merrily bursts into poem when the subject becomes certain particular stories, particular books, particular feelings.

Her favorite stories are The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter and The Tales of Ise. As for poetry, her three favorite compilations are Kokinshuu, Gosenshuu and Shuuishuu. She was a loving fan of many poem anthologies since when she was alive.

Since she’s been joining to Neo Outer Gods Riege, she has been enjoying acting as a **librarian**. And in the meanwhile, she grew to love stories and poems from eras and regions other than her own, spending all of her free time absorbed in their reading.

Kassogtha also has a secretive masochistic side where she likes to take punishment for things she is aware she did wrong. Though she will try to deny it, Kassogtha will get extremely aroused whenever Cthulhu, Scarlet King or even at times Idh-Yaa would punish her for invoking their ire. She discovered she had this side of her when she and Cthulhu had their first unsuccesful mating ritual. Kassogtha still hated Cthulhu for defeating her and forcing her into a marriage with him, so she tried to rip his body apart when he was about to mate with her. Weirdly enough, Kassogtha found the punishment she received pleasing and relaxing.

Kassogtha acts defamatory towards Idh-Yaa and will often stir up arguments with her. This is because she does not like being reminded that she is the second wife. However, Kassogtha is not just jealous of Idh-Yaa, because she is the first wife. Kassogtha feels envious, because of Idh-Yaa's ability to be independant and self-reliant, as well as her immense self-confidence. It's hinted that she may have a slight crush on Idh-Yaa, as she seemed to take pleasure in Idh-Yaa groping her even though Ota Mayuko's spell had already worn off. Later on, Kassogtha herself admits to liking Idh-Yaa almost as much as Cthulhu as she found both of them very similar and attractive to her.

## History

On the Rite of Celestial Harvesting, Star Black, a creation of Void Termina and Ycnàgnnisssz, preformed the mating ritual with his partner Star Mother. Kassogtha was born and she hatched in a sea of disease-rotten planets which were meshed together. This is how she got her first title 'Leviathan of Diseases'. The horrid spawn rampaged the celestial planes until she was encountered by Cthulhu who she fought. Cthulhu defeated her and subdued her, turning her into his second mate. Though resentful at first, Kassogtha grew to enjoy his company and agreed to become his second wife and birth him many offsprings. In their mating ritual, Cthulhu and Kassogtha conceived Shaurash-Ho, Nctosa and Nctulhu and Ult. They mated a second time and this time Kassogtha spawned a hundred million entities known as Vortex Parasites.

Unlike Idh-Yaa, Kassogtha followed Cthulhu to his invasion in Prime-Earth, but was struck down by Council of Godheads. Weakened and alone, she hid in Japan where nestled herself in the womb of the wife of Fujiwara-no-Tametoki and lived an eighty years long life for 53 years as the woman known as **Murasaki Shikibu**. She was selected by Ayaka Shikone to join Yamikami, which she agreed but only to be able to observe the Supernatural realms on a more broad scope.

After her identity was discovered by Malkuth, Kassogtha fled to Spiral Abyss, where her father and mother were sealed. She trained in there until the war came and joined the Outer Gods in fighting Council of Godheads.

## Powers and Abilities

Kassogtha is usually regarded as a lesser Old One, however, she is also said to be particularly violent to where even the great Cthulhu struggled against her to prove his strength in order for the mating to proceed. Though she usually avoids fighting, she can ferocious when cornered, like a cat that feels unnerved, she can topple beings who claim to be 'tens of times stronger' than her with unassuming ease.

**Immense Strength**: Kassogtha possessed lower strength than Cthulhu and his siblings. However, after training herself to become stronger in Spiral Abyss, Kassogtha became several times more powerful and could defeat a small army of gods, angels and demons on her own with ease. After gaining her parents' powers, she is even more powerful. She was able to knock Kagutsuchi out cold with ease and could hold off two beings with Heavenly Dragon-class strength while also having a bored expression on her face, as an outer goddess she could also go toe to toe with Aether and Afrodite in their ascended states with their clashes causing the destruction and creation of countless universes and realms

She can also survive attacks from mid ranking Primordial Entities, Dragon Gods, Outer Gods and continue to keep fighting.

**Uh'eog ot vortex**: Or **Queen of Vortex**. Kassogtha's special ability. While there exist beings such as Nyx and her ancestor Void Termina who can preform a much more powerful version of this ability, Kassogtha's is far more specialized and detail-efficient.

Kassogtha is particularly skilled at creating such pocket realities, hiding her essence in them and moving through multitude of them at the same time. She can also trap beings there and destroy the pocket realities at the same time, decimating her opponent from a safe distance.

**Summoning**: As an Outer Goddess, Kassogtha could summon an army of Old Ones to aid her in battle. If she wished she could very easily summon all of her Vortex Parasites spawn to swarm the Fifth and Second Heavens with very little resistance. Kassogtha can be though of as an excellent summoner as she can not only summon fellow Old Ones, but demons/spirits and other beings which heed her call.

**Outer Gods Physiology**: Kassogtha possesses all the attributes of an Outer God after becoming one during her training. Kassogtha is still unused to her powers and is likely to grow stronger with time the more she gets used to her own Outer Goddess abilities.

* **Reality Consumption**: Like every Outer God, Kassgotha has the ability to consume reality, everything and anyone, devouring their essence to empower herself or stabilize her own existence.

* **Stay Away:** Kassogtha's demeanor suddenly changes as she becomes frightened and wary. As they intensify, she screams at the top of her lungs and a large purple aura starts to swell and envelop around her entire body. Kassogtha then releases a giant ball of energy that hurls towards her enemies. It's travels in only one direction and can not be adjusted. However, the initial execution sucks in nearby enemies and damages them before they are hurled off in the distance and blown asunder by the aftershock.

* **Someone, Save Me:** Kassogtha screams loudly and generates a giant purple claw in midair that is guided by her hand which she uses to slash her opponent(s).

* **Root of Calamity:** The Root of Calamity is only used by Imu and Kassogtha's family because of their unique constitutions. They are able to focus their mental power into explosions, making their bodies several times stronger. The Root of Calamity seems to be activated at high emotional states such as extreme anger or distress.

* **Shinobi Transformation:** A physical technique that uses the Atrribute of Yang, in where the fundamental essence of the shinobi is used as a battle tool by releasing the body's internal spiritual energy in all six chakras simultaneously.

* **Frantic Mode:** A technique that uses the Attribute of Yin, performed by stripping off one's clothing, resulting in a considerable enhancement in speed and attack power by absorbing blood spilled within the shinobi barrier. However, it is a double-edged sword, as it also incurs a significant penalty to defense.

**Master Magician**: Kassogtha is an extremely skilled magician and has a great understanding over all types of Magic in Creation, ancient or modern. Her true strength lies in her immense magical power that allows her to decimate worlds and factions if she goes wild.

* **Elemental Magic**: Kassogtha can control magic associated with the elements such as fire/wind/water/earth/darkness, etc.
* **Vortex Magic**: Kassogtha is the Supreme Goddess when it comes to Vortex Magic. No one can utilize the aspect of the Vortex better than her. She can not only apply it in the physical sense, but in the conceptual one too, quite literally trapping a weaker entity's concept in an inescpable vortex that corrupts or 'glitches' them out of existence.
* **Eldritch Magic**: As an Outer Goddess, she can preform powerful eldritch magic spells, strengthening her own allies and weakening her enemies.
* **Space-Time Magic**: As the child of Black Star and Star Mother, Kassogtha can use Space-Time Magic to a great extend. Due to her mastery over this type of magic, she is capable of preforming time magic as well, though the latter is more taxing than the former.
* **Sealing Magic**: Kassogtha can also create powerful magical seals that stop the circuit of her opponents' energy, rendering them incapable of replenishing their own strength over the course of the fight.
* **Decimation of the Spatial World**: Kassogtha's unique spell: bringing her umbrella forward, she fires an immense blast of vortex magic mixed with elemental and eldritch energies that completely decimate a universe. The spell was capable of destroying two pureblood Archangels and their teams.

**Skilled Hand-to-Hand Combatant**: Kassogtha herself admits to not being a very skilled fighter and only knows basic martial arts. She did not feel the need to train while she was taken care of by the nigh omnipotent Cthulhu and as a woman of Heian period, she was not allowed to train in martial arts. Due to these circumstances, she is very bad at fighting in close proximity and prefers casting spells. Only recently, she has begun improving her skills and is at the moment capable of manhandling several well-trained divine warriors with ease. She uses a feather duster and an unrolled scroll in one of her attacks. In her later forms, she attacks with hand fans by throwing or slashing enemies with them. In her third outfit form, she rides on a hovering Japanese style cloud-like platform.

* **Ninjutsu**: Kassogtha possesses an innate understanding of Ninjutsu, the historic style of martial arts, tactics, strategy, and espionage of unconventional and guerrilla warfare.

**Genius-Level Intellect**: Kassogtha became a highly enlightened prodigy girl while living as **Murasaki Shikibu**. Her literate intuition was so great, she became known as a world-renowned author of the traditional days in Japan. She was also a genius witch on top of that, which earned her the attention of Yamikami. As the daughter of Black Star and Star Mother, two of the most excellent sorcerers in **Outer Oneiro**, Kassogtha is also a magnificent eldritch goddess.

* **Master Tactician**: Kassogtha has a great tactical and deceiving mind. Due to her vulnerability as **Murasaki Shikibu**, Kassogtha constantly came up with pragmatic solutions to whatever challenge stood her way in order to achieve the desired result. She is a very deceptive-type fighter who prefers to confuse her opponents rather than outsmart them.

**Flight**: Kassogtha has displayed the ability to fly without wings with no effort.

## Equipment

**Fragment of the Pen of Destiny**: Once upon a time, Destiny grew frustrated with one of his famous Writer's Blocks. Ycnágnnisssz, the Editor of All Stories, teased him about it and he grew so frustrated that his pen actually broke. He collected 99.9999999% of the pieces, except one, which found itself in an infant Old One's stomach. This was Kassogtha, who accidentally consumed this little piece of Destiny's power. Thus, now she possesses the attributes of **Writer** to a very very limited extend. She has one of the greatest writing intuitions and can easily be considered one of the top 10 Writers in all universes, alongside Benzaiten, Tru'nembra and Ycnágnnisssz. With this fragment of Destiny power, she can rewrite the universe she is in to anything she desires. Her Writer Power is limited to only a single timeline.

* **The Story of the Sleeping Guanyin**: To combat the immensely powerful Guanyin, Kassogtha created a poetic ficlet to rewrite the fate of the world they were in to lead her to become a 'Sleeping Beauty'. The powers of Kassogtha during their fight displayed a glimpse of what Destiny's powers are. Guanyin learned that if she didn't obey Kassogtha's narrative, her existence would receive more and more damage. Only through outsmarting the narrative was Guanyin able to escape this immensely powerful spell.
* **Verse of the Great Poet** (Rank A): is one of the Personal Skills of Maigician. It acts the same as another skill among the Maigician-Class, High-Speed Incantation. However, its abilities vary, it allows the user to write at an acceled speed, but in order to use it, the user must also 'speak' in some form.
* **Witchcraft (Lyric)** (Rank D+): is a lesser-scale Witchcraft skill. While it does not directly use influences from Japan, it allows ones own words to be used as a form of Magecraft. It is not known about the direct-degree of which this skill preforms, but it is known her personality heavily limits this skill. Kassogtha seemed to have some knowledge of Onmyoudou and you can notice she included some elements of it in a few sections of The Tale of Genji. Speaking in modern terms, she was that kind of author who “actually studies magecraft to write a novel with magecraft in it”.
* **The Diary of Lady Murasaki** (Rank B): acts as a 'repertoire' of knowledge for Outer Gods. From the Heian Peroid, the knowledge is collected. It is said this skill directly affects her library, storing it with the general books she had taken inspiration from. Whether it be love novels, drama, or merely a small book of fables, she never seems to run out of sources to inspire her. Ever since she was summoned, she chronicles every event that happened in her days here, be them good or bad. By revising and falsifying the **past** composed in this diary, it’s possible to cancel a fixed amount damage and injury. “I’ll pretend this never happened.”However, the targets and amount of time reversed need to fulfill several requisites. Actually a Equipment, but displayed in-game as a Skill.

**The Tale of Genji - Aoi - Mononoke** (・・, *Genji-monogatari - Aoi - Mononoke***?**, localized as "Tale of Genji, Aoi, Evil Spirit") is the Equipment of Kassogtha. “If there is a limit, then please let this pale black robe, shallow though it is, tis my sleeves that tears shall drench, creating my own abyss”.

Accompanying the true name release is a poem acting as a certain type of curse, bringing forth ruin to the target. This damages and inflicts debuff status on the target. A Japanese poem contained in ‘Aoi’, chapter 9 of “The Tale of Genji”. Recited by (Hikaru) Genji, heartbroken after the passing of his wife Aoi no Ue who gave birth to his son Yūgiri, this is a poem of regret and lamentation. The reason behind Aoi no Ue’s death is the lingering resentment of Genji’s mistress Lady Rokujō, and thus it would be a sort of curse killing. ——— By reciting this forlorn poem intertwining resentment and cursed death, Kassogtha mourns the fate of the target. In fact, the anecdotes and circumstances surrounding Aoi no Ue’s death is the source of the Noh play “Aoi no Ue”.

1. **The Tale of Genji - Kiritsubo - Parting** (・・, *Genji-monogatari - Kiritsubo - Betsuri***?**) is the Story of Kassogtha.
2. “Now our paths, forever part, when in my sorrow, I would certainly have wished, to follow the path of life.”
3. The poem recited along with the True Name Release works as a form of blessing, leading her party to victory.
4. This waka poem was published in the *The Lady of the Paulownia-Courtyard Chambers*, the 1st tome of The Tale of Genji.
5. It’s a poem a sickly woman composed as a response to her loved one’s farewell.
6. “Despite all the sorrow of parting ways with you, I still want to live my life.”

**Star Mother's Umbrella**: The majestic dark umbrella that belonged to her mother. Star Mother gave it to **Kassogtha** after going to sleep in the Shrine of the Deaf. The umbrella possesses several mysterious properties. The most obvious one is the significant increase in Kassogtha's Magic. Her spells are now ten times stronger and can easily harm Second-Generation Primordial Entities, as well as Emperors of Hell and Celestial Princes. She has displayed the ability to consume an entire universe with her umbrella.

**Black Star's Necromicon**: The necromicon wielded by Black Star, her fabled father and student/relative of Void Termina. This necromicon possesses several special traits. Notably, with it, Kassogtha can summon the nightmares of those that have passed i.e. the negative thoughts of dead beings take shape and serve Kassogtha. Depending on how powerful the deceased and the nightmare is, Kassogtha can make a familiar as powerful as a Primordial Entity.

**Secret Romance Vortex Gear**: Thanks to Hastur, Kassogtha can utilize her parents' artifacts as a Sacred Gear and can achieve a Balance Breaker of her own. Hers is called **Secret Romance Vortex Gear**. Her powers manifest and her clothes are removed. Over her naked body is created a tight gray body suit with two bulky short wings on her shoulders.

* **Icathian Rain**: Kassogtha releases a swarm of missiles evenly distributed among nearby enemies, with additional hits on the same target dealing slightly reduced damage.
* **Void Seeker**: Kassogtha fires a void blast in her target's direction, reducing the effects of any wide-area or reality-altering abilities by 1/2.
* **Supercharge**: Kassogtha charges for a short duration, during which her speed and fire power are increased a lot, giving her the ability to fight opponents who are otherwise much stronger and faster than her. After her charge is over, she will feel a lasting strain on her stamina.
* **Killer Instinct**: Kassogtha shields herself and instantly apports to the last person she has hit. Upon appearing behind them, her wings will release a glow and then a powerful explosion that obliterates all.
