Nyarlathotep

Nyarlathotep is the overarching main antagonist of the overarching universe, either having a hand in the development of the story or being the overall driving force. They are the creator of all life in the universe and have a habit of playing with their creations lives in order to "write a wonderful story."

Once confronted directly, they reveal their true intentions of stopping an endless reincarnation cycle caused by their father Azathoth consuming all matter in the universe and eating itself, starting everything over.

Appearance
In their disguised form, Nyarlathotep appears as a very tall, slender person with glowing crystalline hair. Their skin is a similar crystal, but more opaque like porcelain. They're wearing a blue-green gradient jacket with gold trim and a corset surrounded by belts that join to a crystal on their back. They are wearing a navy miniskirt and black tights. They have boots that stop mid thigh, held in place by a golden knee brace. They have two rolled up gloves with ornate finger jewelry on each digit. Their expression is almost always smug to some degree and it's hard to tell how they truly feel.

In their eldritch form, their head is instead a giant crystal diamond broken into three seperate parts and with many smaller floating fragments around them. The top fragment is missing. Their clothes in this form are nearly identical to their human form, but everything below the jacket is replaced with a writhing swarm of red tentacles. If they were to take their clothes off in this form, the rest of their body would also be a mass of tentacles formed in the shape of their body. Where the origin of the tentacles is is unknown.

Personality
Nyarlathotep is egotistical and cares very little for others, even their own followers. Everyone is a pawn to them and the highest they'd ever deem someone is as a momentary distraction. They are cold and calculating it, hiding it behind a cheerful personality. They do not flaunt their godhood or following, finding anyone who tries to use their loyalty to get an upper hand annoying enough to put to death. It is impossible to outsmart or outwit them as they have supreme knowledge over anything. If they let someone believe they have fooled them, it is only to see what will happen with that delusion.

Creation
It is unknown how Nyarlathotep was born or how they came to be. From all civilization's viewpoint, Nyarlathotep always has been and always will be.Nyarlathotep was created when one of Azathoth's children, Ahtu, killed and consumed their two siblings, Nameless Mist and The Darkness. The merging of their souls created a new, singular being with all their abilities combined. Nyarlathotep, with Ahtu's influence most showing, began the process and studies for how to stop Azathoth from consuming the universe and starting everything over.

Somewhere in this timeframe, they created Death's soul and let it develop on its own.

Two billion years ago, they decided to give up on their goals, deciding to live for selfish fun and seeing what new stories this universe would develop for them.

Prototype
Nyarlathotep is introduced in Prototype, being revealed as the source of Vertigo's watch and time traveling powers. They have next to no appearance in the story, only appearing close to the end to ponder about how "this time may be different."

Gods among Men
Nyarlathotep has no appearance in Gods among Men, but is shown to be the source of Confusa Ultima and Tory Ganassa's powers.

Adorra Online
Nyarlathotep has a small appearance in Adorra Online, shown to be the source of Sir Chocalot's viral sentience. They appear at the end, after the game is shut off, saying that it is almost time.

Witch of Flowers
Nyarlathotep's major role is in Witch of Flowers, appearing in the latter half of the story where, after Ba'al's awakening and subsequent defeat, they appear before Irene and demand for their watch back. Irene feigns ignorance and is given a two month deadline to procure it or be erased. During those two months, Nyarlathotep often spends time with Stolas, admitting they have an ulterior motive.Vertigo's revival and subsequent gathering of protagonists from all previous stories creates an army strong enough to defeat Nyarlathotep when the two months are over. As they crumble to nothing, Nyarlathotep finds Thompson, the reincarnation of a creation of theirs, and spends their last moments with them, saying that they are happy to finally die, but that this is not an escape from duty. Crumbling away into dust, where they laid now sits three eggs.

Omnipotence
Nyarlathotep has the highest degree of omnipotence, having supreme knowledge of everything and the ability to create anything. Their type of knowledge is the simultaneous knowing of everything, knowing of everything that exists and all potential events. This ability was used in the past to create galaxies and all life within them and, in recent years, has been used less often to make whatever it is they may need at the time.

Brainwashing
Nyarlathotep is able to gain a cult by simply being near other people. Their followers are nearly devoid of all thought and personality and live only to serve Nyarlathotep, though older cultists have sometimes been able to slowly regain themselves, though they will never shake off their devotion. If someone were to look at Nyarlathotep, they will either become immediately brainwashed into a follower or have a weakness in them exploited to eventually become a follower. It is not a conscious effort on their part, but a passive feature of their godhood. Admittedly, they find this ability annoying and remark many times that they have more than enough cultists.

Prince Stolas Goetia
Stolas is Nyarlathotep's lover. Nyarlathotep finds him to be an exception when it comes to intelligence and prefers to spend time with him when they have free time. Stolas first met Nyarlathotep when he was younger and was looking to exploit knowledge sources from the god, which they found amusing. Though Nyarlathotep says they have no true feelings towards anyone, they have a soft spot for Stolas and treasure the time they spend together.

Mitsuru Miyako
Mitsuru is another of Nyarlathotep's lovers. Nyarlathotep stumbled upon her universe and became enthralled by how little they knew of it and everyone in it, finding it to be a good distraction. They keep Mitsuru close as they believe her hidden power may be enough to kill them.

Beryl Bishop
Beryl is a friend of Nyarlathotep's. They find it amusing how oblivious she can be and is happy to spend time with someone that isn't a brainwashed cultist, though they wonder if she'll inevitably become one. Beryl has no idea what Nyarlathotep is.

Thompson Lucifer
Thompson is the reincarnation of one of Nyarlathotep's creations. The creation had denied his legacy to Nyarlathotep's powers and instead wished to lead a normal life, a wish that Nyarlathotep respected. Though they keep out of his life, they check in on him from time to time from a distance, making sure everything is turning out alright.

Vertigo
Vertigo is Nyarlathotep's biggest enemy. Being the source of his and his family's grief, Vertigo has sworn to destroy Nyarlathotep before they inflict harm on anyone else. Nyarlathotep gladly accepts this, planning for it to have happened.

Fl'ygbth
Fl'ygbth is an enemy of Nyarlathotep, disliking how close they are to his lover, Stolas. Fl'ygbth also has some humility towards Nyarlathotep as he was allowed by the god to steal a fraction of their soul to heal his child. They do not have direct confrontations, as Fl'ygbth knows Nyarlathotep's strength, and he instead tries his hardest to keep Stolas away from them.

Irene Martin
Irene is an enemy of Nyarlathotep. She leads The Sentinels, a group dedicated to the documentation of fantasy creatures and in keeping the normal world safe. Irene knows of Nyarlathotep's existence and has an ulterior motive of killing them, seeing their fickleness as a threat to all life.

Aylith
Aylith is one of Nyarlathotep's creations. It is unknown what her purpose was, but she found Nyarlathotep to be cruel and escaped them into her dimension.

Death
Death is one of Nyarlathotep's creations and their enemy. Unknowing of his relationship to them, Death views Nyarlathotep as a survivor of an ancient race of elder gods and an egotistical nuisance. He allows them to live, but plans on harvesting their soul when they become too big a threat to all life.

Azathoth
Azathoth is Nyarlathotep's creator. Nyarlathotep does not speak of it much.Nyarlathotep wants nothing more in the universe than to kill Azathoth, something that has proven to be impossible. Nothing matters more to them than seeing it finally die.

Acolytes
All acolytes devote their entire existence to Nyarlathotep, something they find annoying. They let acolytes do whatever they please, often abandoning entire groups of them. A well known example of an abandoned group are Demons.

Miramae Lucifer
Miramae is a pawn of Nyarlathotep's. They put lies in her head about the truth of souls and demonic soul harvesting so she would create a time loop. When the time loop was eventually ended and she was moments away from being sealed away in Nyarlathotep's watch, she called out desperately for the god to help her, a plea which the god did not answer.

Sir Chocalot
Sir Chocalot is a pawn of Nyarlathotep's. They are the source of his sentient code and the cause of Adorra Online's growing sentience problem.

Confusa Ultima
Confusa Ultima is a pawn of Nyarlathotep's. They found Confusa as an abandoned doll and used their hatred to give them the powers of a god, curious to see what would develop from this.

Tory Ganassa
Tory's powers come from Nyarlathotep's soul. Nyarlathotep keeps their distance from Tory, waiting to see how his prolonged life develops his mental state, like an experiment.
