**Nyx**, also known as **Nox**, is the Primordial Goddess of the Night from Greco-Roman mythology. She is a daughter of Khaos, the wife of Erebus, and the mother of numerous minor gods and goddesses.

She was the former sub-leader of the Alliance of Hell terrorist group, but was defeated and imprisoned into the Kokytus Prison by Team D×D.

## Overview

**Nyx** (Νῠ́ξ) is the primordial goddess and personification of the night from Greek mythology. Originally it said that she was born from chaos and her name means "the mother night." Versions of her birth and origins vary, but one interpretation has her as a creator goddess, laying a silver egg that produces the gods responsible for the creation of the world.

She is depicted as a goddess draped in long flowing black robes that are coated with the void of space and glimmering distant stars. Her appearances in mythology are sparse, but reveal her as a figure of exceptional power. In ancient art Nyx was depicted as either a winged goddess or charioteer, sometimes crowned with an aureole of dark mists.

One account details Zeus' fear of Nyx when Hypnos, the god of sleep, reminds Hera of an old favor after she asks him to put Zeus to sleep. Zeus was furious and would have smitten Hypnos into the sea if he had not fled to Nyx, his mother, in fear. In fact, the king of the gods was fearful to the point where he held his fury at bay and in this way Hypnos escaped the wrath of Zeus by appealing to his powerful mother.

She gave birth to many offspring, including Light (Aether), Day (Hemera), Death (Thanatos), Sleep (Hypnos), Doom (Moros), Retribution (Nemesis) the Moirae Sisters alongside many others. In some accounts, the goddess of witchcraft, Hecate was also called the daughter of Night.

## Appearance

Nyx has the appearance of a beautiful young woman with pale skin and a petite figure. She has long black hair, dark-purple eyes, and pointed ears.

Her body also gave out a tremendous dark aura. She is often seen wearing a gothic lolita frilly dress attached to a corset jumper skirt. During the meeting on Mount Olympus, she wore wearing a black hooded dress, fishnet stocking, and black boots.

Her true form is that of a vaguely feminine humanoid being formed of dark energy, with bright eyes that shine like quasars. Giant waves of ancient darkness roll out of her figure every time she moves. She wears a long dress that is void black, mixed with the colors of a space nebula as if galaxies are being born in her bodice. She is crowned by an aureola of dark mist.

## Personality

Nyx is a cheerful, yet sadistic goddess who enjoys seeing her enemies in pain and suffering. To her the adrenaline rush of the battlefield is greater than any other feeling, even comparing it to an orgasm. However, she has shown to have an honorable side to her as she greatly admires "true heroes of old", such as Perseus or Heracles, and respects those who gain their power and authority through noble means.

She can be very caring and protective, though her protectiveness is rather warped, as she is known for kidnapping young children from their houses in the middle of the night to take them back to her abode to be raised as her children. She is extremely protective of the children she kidnapped and can go into a blind rage at the thought of one of them being harmed, completely disregarding any consequence as long as she can get revenge on those who hurt them.

Like many primordial gods, she remains neutral among all the events happening within her pantheon, and wouldn't intervene unless she is directly provoked by one of the sides. She personally sees the current generations of gods as "squirming, screaming, and boring little toddlers", and pays little respect for the majority of them, with the exceptions of powerful gods such as the Elder Olympians.

She holds amorality toward all mortal species as she deems their troubles and woes as meaningless to primordial beings such as herself, though she does holds a great animosity for humans in particular due to their disregard to the gods in modern days, which has caused many of her children to weakened and even faded away from a lack of worship.

Similar to other gods, she is deeply concerned about the unchecked power of the Sacred Gears, especially that of the Longinus which could potentially destroy the world and even kill primordial gods like her, and views them as "errors" that interfere with the natural order.

And like many other gods, she has shown a great hatred toward the Abrahamic religions, which she sees as the direct enemies of all pagan factions, and subsequently, the Three Factions that form the Abrahamic pantheon, out of which she personally sees the Abrahamic Heaven as her enemy. Because of this, she and several other gods have founded the Alliance of Hell as a way to stop and destroy the power, authority, and influence of the Three Factions, and restore the gods' reign over the world.

## History

### Early Life

Nyx is one of the first Greco-Roman Primordials known as the *Protogenoi*, created by Khaos himself from the divine energy of Hylemorphes. She lives in the Depths of Tartarus in the **Mansion of Night**, where she stays during the day and leaves during the night to bring the day-night cycle to the mortal world.

She later married her twin brother Erebus and the two had their first children together: Aether and Hemera. However, due to the complication of their birth, Nyx wasn't able to bear any more children naturally. Feeling saddened by his daughter's misery, Khaos taught her how to utilize the energy of Hylemorphes to create more children of her own, which resulted in him being imprisoned as punishment from the Heavenly Council.

At some point in the ancient past, she and several other gods were gifted with the knowledge of creating half-divine entities known as reapers from the Archreapers, and she was tasked with the duty of creating new generations of reapers to harvest the souls and shades of deceased humans and take them back to the Realm of the Dead, with hers responsible for taking them to the Greco-Roman Underworld in particular.

### Heracles' Siege of Troy

Under Hera's order, Hypnos, a son of Nyx and God of Sleep, put Zeus under an enchanted sleep so that she could shower Heracles, who was returning from Troy after he had besieged the Trojan king Laomedon, with misfortunes without Zeus' interferences.

When Zeus found out about Hypnos' involvement, he became furious and chased him across the Mediterranean region and would have struck him out of sight in the sea from the bright sky had he wasn't able to reach his mother's palace in time. Due to her overprotectiveness, Nyx begged Zeus to forgive him, which he only agreed because of his respect for her power and maternal virtues. He then warned him that he would be justly punished if he used his powers on the gods without his order again.

### Alliance of Hell

Several centuries after the Great War, Nyx, Erebus, and several other chthonic gods founded the Alliance of Hell as a way to prevent the growing power and influence of the Three Factions, especially that of the "Children Blessed by God", i.e. Sacred Gear wielders.

However, as time went on, their motive began to grow as well as the organization now become an anti-Heaven terrorist organization whose main goal is to stop the influence of the Abrahamic religions, and by proxy, the Abrahamic Heaven, and bringing back the Age of Gods, when the gods had full reign over the lives of humans and possess a near-absolute authority over the world.

## Equipment

**Night Chariot** (夜の戦車, *Yoru no Sensha*): The divine chariot of Nyx. It is an Roman chariot made out of sharp obsidian and Stygian Iron, pulled by two thestrals named "Apóchrosi" (Shade) and "Skiá" (Shadow). Every night, as the sun begins to set, she will pick up her mantle of night over her shoulders and ride her chariot out of the Realm of the Dead, bringing the night to the mortal world.
