Shallyx (The Decreator)

## Description

### Appearance

Shallyx's true appearance is as just that of a black hole, but as this is not a super practical form he often chooses to appear as a massive dragon made of shadows with glowing red eyes.

### Personality

Shallyx is a wicked god who knows hows powerful and scary he is and uses that to his advantage. He is clever and has proven himself to be a dangerous enemy. His biggest weakness is probably that he enjoys toying with his prey and will often torture them emotionally before defeating them.

## Origin

In the beginning there was the Void. One day the universe was brought into existence. When that happened power was drawn from the Void creating the earliest primordials. These deities used the voidstuff to create the Universe. This left nothing left in the Void. It became a sort of vacuum wanting to reclaim what belonged to it. For this reason the void used what little it had left to create a force of decreation which would have the soul purpose of returning everything to the void. This force became Shallyx.

## Major Events

### Early Days

In the early days, Shallyx would travel from world to world devouring and decreating everything in his path. Eventually some worlds had power and opposed him, but most didn't stand a chance until he reached a world that had one of the original primordials guarding it. The primordial drove him away. He left and began going to other worlds offering them a choice, join him as an army or be decreated. Most fought him and were decreated but over time he built up an army and returned to that world. With his army he defeated the primordial and decreated the world.

### Rebellion

Eventually his own army began to worry about their own fate, after all what would happen when everything else was decreated? Were they just delaying the inevitable? They decided to rise up against him. Knowing that he probably needed an army since there were still other primordials out there, he used his powers to decreate their souls while leaving their bodies as husks which he filled with shadows. This became a puppet army which would grow with each world he decreated.

### The War of Decreation

One day Shallyx found himself at Eloria, a new world to decreate. However he never expected Phira to exist, a being with the power of two of the original primoridals. He couldn't oppose her, so he sent his armies. Phira was able to prevent them from decreating the planet, but they continued to devestate the world, turning its creatures into members of the shadow army. Phira created Yggdrasil as a safe haven for the creatures, where neither Shallyx nor the shadows could enter while Phira lived. Then a new army rose to face Shallyx, one of creatures with no souls. Sure they could be destroyed or decreated, but they couldn't be turned into shadows. They fought until Shallyx's army until it retreated, Shallyx unable to face Phira was imprisoned on the Dark Continent, his powers sealed so he could not decreate the prison where he has remained since.

## Decreation

Most people believe the opposite of creation is destruction, they would be wrong. The actual opposite is decreation. With destruction the thing just ceases to exist, with decreation, it is as though it never existed. Generally speaking, this changes memories but generally the world state remains as is with something else (or multiple things) replacing it so very little actually changes. However, there are cases where what was decreated was pivotal to history in which case, the state of the world may change significantly.
