Deity Koyous.jpg

Koyous is the manifestation of all the knowledge accumulated in the world. Its origins are unknown, but it is said that it began to grow slowly as the species started acquiring more intelligence. Others add that it replaced the actual deity by absorbing it into its infinite body.

History

The exact moment when Koyous appeared is unknown. Ancient books describe him as an omniprescent being that came to life once the primitive life began acquiring sentience. Others describe him as a particular schoolar that discovered a power that allowed him to unlock the full potential of his mind. However, it is uncertain whether these versions are veridic. The truth is that Koyous hasn't been seen in thousands of years.

Thanks to its possession ability, Koyous has acquired a few humanoid forms throughout the history. This fact has made a major part of his followers divided, as some believe it shows itself as a tall, pale and white-haired elf with black eyes while others deem it is an elder human wearing a long black tunic that covers his whole body and most of his face, except for a long white beard.

Koyous barely has participation in the real world's events. All it does is mimic the physical development and expansion that each race has achieved to perform the same in his own world. He aims to achieve its concept of perfection.

Appearance

Unlike most deities, Koyous doesn’t show itself in an animal or humanoid form. It is a floating black sphere that wanders in a different dimension, which is a perfect reflection of the real world.

Koyous can possess bodies and use them as an extension of his own self. His own body is still found at the very core of his dimension,.

The truth is that Koyous doesn’t have a specific humanoid form. Although it hasn’t visited “the real world” in quite a while, it is said that the beings described above (among many others) wander through the world. They collect information about the latest advancements and changes it has suffered so Koyous can update its dimension and keep it as a carbon copy of that realm.

When one of its hosts dies for any reason, it will quickly replace it by possessing the nearest living creature. This is the motive why many believers think that “it is everything and nothing at the same time.”

Abilities

As the Deity of Mind, most of its abilities are related to the intellect and psyche.

Koyous is capable of possessing living beings. As its body is infinite, it can possess multiple creatures simultaneously and give them all total autonomy.

Even if it cannot see the future, Koyous is capable of predicting what will happen next by running infinite scenarios simultaneously. This way, it can choose what the best action is so it can continue following the path towards perfection.

Koyous can perceive if something has a magical origin. Adventurers can borrow this ability by casting the spell "Koyous Eye."
