Sun Eater

Sun Eater

"... And as I consumed one of the two suns that day, all my flesh did burn away. And upon the ground did lay, my shell and egg from where I came"

Sun Eater was born in the stars, emerging from a comet in the depth of space. He was a massive wyrm, even when he was young, untouched by the weight of gravity he grew long and beautiful as he flew about the planets eating small stars. His life was rather carefree, and he had no desire to seek any greater strength. His only wish was to consume a massive star that he saw everyday, but for many years he was too small to even try. As he flew people on the land below would catch sight of him though, and rumors spread of the heavenly god who swam through space like an eel. His appearance beautiful with his sparkling colorful fur and metallic head and spines.

As the ages went by, so unknown to him as he had no need to track the time, people upon the land orbiting the star he wished to consume took notice that he was growing bigger and swimming closer to the sun, and some philosophers and worshippers began to figure out his goal, and began spreading the story, that of the oncoming doom that he would bring. His first name spawned from that, based of tales of old, “Sköllhati” though he was wholly unaware. That when the time came, he would consume the sun and cause the eclipse. And though it took a long while, eventually he grew large enough, and he began his approach. He swam past the stars and in one snap ate the one sun.

Unlike the small stars the whirling sun, made of energy and elements was so much his form turned ashen as his flesh burned away, leaving behind only one thing, an enormous egg that was carried away from the dying planet where the stories of him were made, his story and prophecy burned into the shell that carried him. And so inside his egg he slept, growing inside for a time when he could emerge once again. And whilst he slept he was carried far from the space he knew, eventually landing hard into the ground of an old land, landing within the mountains of Nighshire.

During the years he was still within his shell those who came across it took notice of the massive, thinking it to be a meteor with a great prophecy written upon it for them, and took care to translate and share it, though the heat it emitted made it impossible to set up anything near it. Eventually he hatched, emerging in an unfamiliar form, confused and unable to communicate through words. Surrounded by an audience that were feared and amazed by him. He was unsure how to take it all in.

He towered in height above those around him, and bled searing hot luminescent blood. Like his apperance before, he was incredibly elegant and his fur shone like the stars. He emitted heat, and breathed a hot elemental flare when angered. It took a long while for him to adjust to the people in awe around him, but eventually he began to get comfortable. With time to learned multiple languages and was educated on cultures, though he lacked a sense for such things as titles and for castes. Eventually as he got a hold of the world he travelled away, and began traversing the world at his own pace. 

He was seen as a god, just like how he’d been seen in deep space, and the story of what unbeknownst to the people who heard of it had already happened spread, causing mass fear to be directed towards him in some places, and worship in others. He met many great figures, but remained unable to tell titles. He found things he enjoyed in his travels such as swimming, eating, and playing around with things. He was found to have a very puppy like personality, enjoying playing around, being extremely social, and snuggles. He doesn’t have a lifespan, and is kept safe by the fact that if he was to be killed the sun inside him would supernova, blasting wherever he would die. When not traveling around meeting people he tends to lounge around in the holy isles of Carcosa or the magic lands of the continent of Welldring. He isn’t really found in the western continent of Nighshire, not a fan of the unbalanced kingdoms and chaos within, nor enjoying the depressing ruin filled Wasted Plains. 

While traveling he found one large thing that he enjoyed greatly, attention. While he was well known during his days of traveling space, he didn’t understand what being able to interact with people was like as his mind matured more during his travels of the land. He educated himself while he travelled, and though it was incredibly difficult for him to learn he eventually gained a better sense of the world around him. He found himself to be more a celebrity god than most others, known for being the tall and handsome “Majesty of the Stars”, as well as the feared and revered ”Sun Eater”. He began to do his best to avoid the places where people feared him, and took more to spending time in the less populated lands where he fit better in.

He‘s a childish, very friendly person who tends to obscure information about himself as to avoid people judging him, though it is difficult. Despite having travelled all over he has very few relationships, and has trouble making friends. He adores swimming and tends to spend all his free time swimming through the cloudy sea surrounding and within and under Carcosa. He does’t lie, having no reason not to, and practices celestial magic. Outside of his normal relationships he’s taken to being a celestial patron for warlocks, and adoring people loves those whom enter pacts with him. He is known to be mysterious, though very bubbly in personality with those who tell of interactions and encounters with him in the world, and that is how he’s known amongst common folk despite the fact that he’s one of the most feared gods of the world. He is smarter than he acts, though only friends an intelligent enemies know that. He’s a scholarly, very slow learner and at current his goal it to educate himself and help his warlocks. Very popular amongst warlocks. He dislikes fighting himself, so readily lends power.

Special/Unique Traits-

— Despite being commonly called "Sun Eater", as well as other names of the same origin such as Sköllhati and Morrígan, xi doesn't actually have a name. 

- He doesn't understand the concept of gods and goddesses, just seeing them as people. 

- In his days swimming through space he had an insatiable appetite, and was well known for it as he ate many stars. Following his consuming of the secondary sun however he doesn't really need to eat, lasting off the infinite energy within.

- The sun is actually still alive, though much smaller within his gut. It is what causes his blood's heat and various other heat related effects, and it produces energy. Unfortunately though, as he adapted to have a magnetic field in his gut because of it there is no way for him to use compasses.

- As he doesn’t need oxygen he’s occasionally spent months swimming about the ocean with his amazing swimming ability.
