Tykkou

Lore

Here is a summary of Tykkou's 17 billion year (and counting) life.

History

Despite being 17 billion years old, Tykkou is actually one of the youngest gods in his universe. Since his birth he has been fascinated with intelligent life and seeing how they thrive in such drastic conditions. However, a mortal, Himo, discovered a type of magic that can grant him power by killing others and enslaving people to do his dirty work. The gods called this hemophilia, bloodlust, and/or "Selsmol". While this is happening, Tykkou's friend, Phoenix, confined herself to a mortal form to understand her possible future subjects. Tykkou, Phoenix, and the other gods went to war with Himo, but Himo "killed" Phoenix, and in a rage Tykkou managed to kill Himo. Phoenix was supposed to have been revived by now, and the gods concluded that Himo must have actually killed her. While they won the war, there were too many beings who completely believed in the Selsmol's ideals, and they had access to the Selsmol magic, so the gods came to a conclusion to wipe all intelligent life. Tykkou was completely against this, but the beliefs of a young, inexperienced god were not enough to shake the will of all the elders. Hoping he could figure out a way to "heal" Selsmol, Tykkou documented the magic he had seen and began to study it. (Little does he know, though, Himo has been chilling in the afterlife, keeping Phoenix's revival from commencing for several billions of years, taking advantage of her godly power and using it as his own.) Also, in memory of Phoenix, he took up her mortality shenanigans and began living mortal lives for fun. It is during this time he discovered something went wrong on Phoenix's end, as he always was revived immediately.

A few billion years later though, some gods created a world that held intelligent life. Intrigued, Tykkou watched for a while before deciding he wanted to create his own world with intelligent life. As his own world grew, Tykkou looked to Earth's god(s) for help and ideas. However, he found that they were becoming dissatisfied with their world since their people were no longer listening to their word. He hypothesized that this was because they weren't interacting with Earth at all, just watching from afar, and Tykkou took it upon himself to interact with his people to preserve their faith in him. Tykkou named his world E'ngkayma, and often lives among his people, sometimes living as a mortal, sometimes just as his godly self.

Eventually Tykkou gained access to an area beyond any universe, called the Void. He met Cazoni here, and spent many years exploring other universes and their stories. His hyperfixated ass spent the majority of his time in other universes instead of his own, until Tykkou was called back to Xyrhhus roughly 493 years later to see that while he was gone his world had fallen into disarray. He learned humans had come and tried to colonize E'ngkayma, and in retaliation a kid named Zakuda broke into one of Tykkou's temples and discovered the Selsmol magic he had hidden away to study. The girl who had called him, Mel, was looking for guidance in getting rid of the humans and stopping Zakuda from taking over the world, since the power the magic came with was corrupting him. He unapologetically helped drive out the humans, then helped Mel come up with a plan and gather unaffected people to use if and when war between her and Zakuda came. When she was ready, Mel lead her forces to Zakuda's camp where after a heartbreaking fight he killed himself with Mel's weapon. Tykkou didn't want the solution to be death, but it worked; somehow the other people under the influence of Selsmol had been cured because Zakuda had died. After comforting Mel, he returned to the Void to find Zakuda there with him. Tykkou gave him a second chance, telling him that he was conscious enough to leave other beings alone, and if he interfered with any worlds there would be consequences. When Zakuda returned to the Void he was accompanied by a human who had obviously been affected by Selsmol. Tykkou stood true to his word and removed all Zakuda's memories pertaining to Selsmol magic, which was unfortunately a good amount. Before he could get to the human- Zali- though, another new Void member- Crystal- had taken care of her.

Present

Tykkou visits Xyrhhus more often, checking in and making sure nothing's going wrong. He makes sure his people have everything they need and aren't being taken over by another alien civilization. Zakuda and Tykkou have a good relationship now, along with all the newer Void members. He provided Zali with a list of some universes that have phenomenal therapists and him and Crystal work on trying to get rid of the Selsmol that resides in her. Tykkou now continues to explore other universes with his new friends and fights of unwanted residents in said universes.
