Kami Kaien

"'Long I have searched for answers to all my questions. But even so, my part of the journey is far from over. I want to find the courage to let go of all my pains and move on. And I still have to find her too...'"Kaien is a very old deity and is the Almighty of his world. He and other divine beings created the world in which eyeballs and other creatures exist, with him being the lead. He is a deity full of wisdom and insight, and cares deeply about his tribe and those who he forms close bonds to. He even is willing to stop forces that endanger his friends and loved ones, even if it meant he will be in the middle of the enemies' lines.

However, spending time with him will unlock a series of enigmas that is his past, and even he will soon need help.

The Beginning
Kaien and many other divine beings emerged from a single flash of light that engulfed nothingness which then gave forth to the creation of his universe. These beings were still young then, and their forms were unfathomable, unpredictable. Back then, he did not have name to choose from, and never thought of having one. He assumed the form of a colossal being, and visited others with similar powers like his. Some befriended him and some others were wary of him due to his size.

Time passed by, and he realized that something was amiss-- This universe is full of stars, but there were no planets to decorate it. He thus gathered trusted companions of his, and with plans set in motion, he and they created planets and moons; There was one particular planet that would be suitable for sustenance of life, though it took more time than the creation of the other planets. Those who heard of his project later held interest in it and assisted him with the completion of this homeworld for all living creatures to make their asylum when the time has come for it to be filled with them.

Kaien wasn't known by any name still, and the others only called him the Giant. He created an entire race fit in his image called the Giganti, and entrusted the world for them to make living out of and guard. A unique quirk of his was that animals would flock to him whenever he makes a visit, whether the place be a forest, mountains, hills, rivers and seas a like.

Sadly, the legendary giant deity came to an "end" when he killed a beast by accident-- He stepped on a kacheek, effectively turning it into nothing but puddle and bones. When he noticed that one of his feet was sticky, he lifted it, and realized what he had done.

He fell down to his knees and gave out a loud roar, after which tears leaked out from his very eyes. Those within miles radius from his location could hear him sob, but when they rushed to see what went wrong, they could only find a swamp in the wake of the giant's woes.

The giant was there no longer, and it became a tragic legend that was soon forgotten by most.

Life as an eyeball
Kaien abandoned his old form and replaced his form with one that would not be easily recognized by the first people he made. He was nothing but an eyeball with absurdly long limbs. He continued watching the world in this form, and would later let his days of a giant be a memory of the past. However, he found yet another link to it, and it distressed him greatly.

On his patrols, he found the body of a dead Gigantus, that one being a child judging from the size. He approached the poor girl's corpse, and he started crying again. Why did the ones he abandoned still look for him? He was not fit to be their leader anymore after what happened. Regardless, something crossed his heart to help her; He felt that she died in vain, and what if that death was because she tried to look for him?

Kaien gave this girl a chance to live once more, but not as who she used to be-- He instead bestowed upon her a new vessel to live in, and be the one to choose paths of her own this time. He created a new deity in the process, and left her as another eyeball just like him, but much shorter and her sclera was orange instead of white.

Many years passed since then, and Kaien was no longer alone in his travels. He came across an interesting pair of twins who were also ridiculously tall, and at least an inch taller than he was. They were cubes instead of spheres with red scleras. These two brothers introduced themselves as Itoukamui and Yabunkamui. The three deities spent quite a lot of time before they became friends. On one of their adventures, they came across another eyeball, only way shorter and she was masked.

This masked being, calling herself Komachi was not amused by this one bit, and claimed that she was the original eyeball. Kaien could only sigh that she did not recognize him, but then again he was the one who left her as soon as he revived her. Komachi challenged him in the form of a spar to see who came out first, in which Kaien had no choice but to accept. Naturally, the former won, and the latter had to admit that he came to being first. Upon being asked why he "stole" her appearance, this girl removed her mask and revealed herself. It turned out that they both weren't drastically different after all, save for the fact that one was masked and the other wasn't. Komachi's sclera was also orange in contrast to Kaien's white. She had been so lonely with no other companions than the animals that surrounded her, and she would rather leave the forests to explore the world around her. She accepted the others' offer to join them, and became part of the group.

They later came across a cruel realm on their journey-- One known as the Underworld. This group acknowledged the horrors that this realm could bring into their world if one was to tamper with its machinations, so they made a pact to seal away all physical paths to it, but could not find a way to also prevent anyone from summoning demonic creatures. The four deities agreed to not ever summon anything from there nor would they let the knowledge of this fall to mortal hands, and thus made an oath to maintain and protect their world. The Primordial Council was born out of this oath.

The Primordial Council
The recently formed group began working towards using resources for the benefit of those who would eventually come to exist. The four deities immediately made research to the lands they discovered, and deduced that each piece they took a closer look at would be suitable for their future people. Kaien spearheaded the creation of mortal life that is far more intelligent and is capable of deciding their own fate, but not completely as they would be guided by him, and subsequently the other gods with their respective people. From Kaien came the Patapons, the Zigotons being the creation of both Itoukamui and Yabunkamui, the Karmen being the mortal folk who would serve Komachi, although their creation was by accident when she implemented her magic on one of the specimen templates Kaien had made, making his people and hers related in some way, but the manner of that relationship would be indirect-- The Karmen became sister tribes to the Patapons thanks to this.

These races grew by numbers, and eventually became three great civilizations. Their beginning was humble, but soon found mighty stories and destinies to follow. Occasional unrest might have been encountered, but the gods of the Primordial Council were able to solve many problems between tribes. The organization was doing well until the news of some missing Patapon and Karmen folk were reported to their respective rulers, Kaien and Komachi. Concerns growing in the two rulers, they sent some scouts to find out what happened to the missing citizens. As much as a week went by, and the scouts returned with what they found; A city so unexpectedly, unimaginably advanced in all stages of civilization, but they found out that some of the Patapons and the Karmen were there-- Kidnapped and recruited for hard labor. Anyone who disobeyed would get killed.
