**Demiurge** is first of the Lords of Order and the sentient life-force of Earth's biosphere. He's one of the oldest known beings in existence, having existed over ten thousand lifetimes before the appearance of the Old Gods.

## History

### Origin

Demiurge Primordial is the sentient life force of Earth's biosphere whom emerged from Chaos alongside Gaea in an incorporeal state of existence as a physical of energy, but could manifest physical form as a lion-headed draconic serpent if desired.

He and Darkar, the Spirit of Chaos, spent much of their existence combating one another, with neither able to fully vanquish the other. Even if Demiurge were to destroy Darkar and usher in a new era of peace, what little darkness existed in Demiurge would magnify until Darkar would be reborn and burst forth, beginning the cycle again; the reverse would happen to Darkar if he were victorious over Demiurge.

Demiurge would also fight in the War in Heaven, having banished Asmodel and Eclipso but would lose his corporeality after being struck by Samael.

### Dawn of the Gods

Now an incorporeal field of divine energy, Demiurge seeded the Earth with its life energies which altered the diseased body fluids of Progenitor and percolated through the planet's primeval surface, forever altering the Earth's evolutionary trajectory. This process would eventually constitut the primordial cause that gave rise to the superhuman abnormalities present in many of Earth's inhabitants. Furthermore, Demiurge's life-giving power birthed the Elder Gods of Earth who became the first lifeforms in existence after the Protogenoi and is what gave Gaea a physical form.

Eventually all of the Elder Gods, save for Oshtur and Gaea, descended into degeneracy, becoming life-destroying demons. To stop them, Gaea meditated and mated with Demiurge, conceiving within her a force to fight them, Atum. After Atum consumed the corrupted Elder Gods, he cast their energies from his body, seeding the heavens with godstuff that Gaea later used to help usher in a new generation of god pantheons known as Old Gods.

### Death and Rebirth

It's been acknowledged the War in Heaven greatly hindered Demiurge's godly responsibilities and with the growing amount of Chaos existing throughout Creation, heavily required a more active role in maintaing cosmic equilibrium. The Presence and Chaos transformed Demiurge's essence into several "*avatars*" that would take its place each with a specific purpose and amongst the pantheon of gods Demiurge was known by many names: He's known as Nun/Nu of the primordial waters to the Ogdoad and was known as the male force Yang (opposite Gaea's female force Yin) to the Xian of Ta-Lo.

When each avatar died once their purpose was fullfilled, Demiurge and its former incarnations converged into a single spark of its unlimited power while his divine soul reincarnated into a new body and form, being reborn from the blood of Ouranos when it spilled onto the Island of Creation. He beaome known as Perseus Lykaios, one of the Lords of Order and the God of Heroes, but didn't possess any of Demiurge's memories or those of its incarnations, thus being largely ignorant of his true power and destiny. Perseus would eventually be reincarnated into the modern era as the son of Poseidon, where it was revealed that the body and consciousness of Demiurge was reborn while the other aspects didn't truly die until after the Sphere of the Gods became closed off, thus Perseus was incomplete and his existence was that of a ticking timebomb, which ended with him fading and being reborn.

## Powers

As the first of the Lords of Order and the eldest Protogenos, Demiurge was credited for being one of the most powerful and feared beings in existence. He's considered a "*Multi-Dimensional Messiah*" with nearly unlimited power over reality and the shaping of Creation, having once been stated to destroy and renew everything without anyone being aware of the changes. While the Chaos King was considered to be the greatest threat to the Multiverse, Eternity stated that Demiurge's true power was beyond any Abstract Entity, which only Protogenoi could match. His power was so incalculable that only the Realm of Order can withstand its primordial nature when utilized to its fullest potential - When Perseus is accessing his Demiurge powers, he's instantly transported to the primordial realm to avoid damaging the Multiverse.

Demiurge's source of power is called the Dragon's Flame, and is a power which the entirety of Creation and its elements originated from. It cannot be extinguished except with the Water Stars, which are said to be its magical opposite.

## Trivia

* Demiurge is the eldest Protogenos
* Demiurge was both Gaea's father and brother, since both emerged from Chaos while Demiurge gifted Gaea with a corporeal form
	+ It's revealed that Gaea always had a physical form and that Demiurge never truly gave her substance. However, Gaea was still considered the daughter of the Demiurge as Gaea refers to the Elder Gods as her siblings.
* While Perseus' son Wiccan is destined to become a being called the Demiurge, it's revealed that "Demiurge" is a title held by many beings. Wiccan is a "Demiurge-To-Come" and the Demiurge from the Elder Gods' origin is "Demiurge Primordial", and is what Perseus is.
* Demiurge's soul was so transfigured due to having constantly different avatars that were physically different from Demiurge himself (bringing forth other gods with different physiologies that made them biologically unrelated to one another).
	+ This attributed to Perseus Lykaios not physically being considered an Elder God or Protogenos, but was still Demiurge due to his level of power and soul being the same.
	+ It's also the reason for when Perseus reincarnated as Poseidon's son, he was biologically traced back to the Atlantean Royal Family while still being the son of Ouranos, but Chaos was no longer considered his parent.
* The Progenitor's crash came before the Demiurge.
* The Demiurge (Demiourgos in Greek) was a figure in In the Platonic, Neopythagorean, Middle Platonic, and Neoplatonic schools of philosophy, as an artisan-like figure responsible for fashioning and maintaining the physical universe, and in Gnosticism, as an evil counterpart of God and the creator of the material world, a place of sin.
