Fiction:Multus Esse/Religion

While the Multus Esse where indeed advanced, on a level beyond most others, they worshipped a large pantheon of deities. These deities represented all sorts of elements, aspects and traits in their culture and in nature, and multiple deities could control the powers of the sun, for example. In their cultural believes, they believe the Alpha Cyber Collective's rise to power represents the rise of several dark deities, each represented by the Alpha themselves, the Meeno Grox, the Bachyeon, and Bio-morphlings. They believe these dark deities have caused the gods to fall to sleep, or even destroyed them and caused their power to scatter.

The Multus keep their religion secrete from their creations, as they do not wish for their creations to question their own religious believes. Hitza'pulachi= Hitza'pulachi, the Phoenix Lord, is said to have been the first of the Gods created, and the creator of the Chassin'ra. Hitza'pulachi was said to be the first of the Gods to come into existence, and, as such, is the oldest and most powerful. Due to his age, Hitza must, at times, sacrifice his physical form so that he may continue to exist. At times like this, he will burn his body, and then use the ashes to create a new form.
 * God of - Patron of War, the sun, and patron god of the Chassin'ra
 * Rank in the Pantheon - Leader of the Gods.

Due to this, he is commonly seen as a god of the suns of Multus Worlds. While there are many Gods of war, Hitza'pulachi is the patron of war itself, and his power, is connected to his peoples' own. If they win, he will grow in strength, and if the Multus lose, his strength will wane. As such, he Multus consider it imperative that they win in war so that Hitza'pulachi can regain his strength.

All Multus honor Hitza with their arm canon weapons, which they believe focus his power of the suns and stars during battle.

It is said that, due to the rise of the Alpha Grox god, Krani'itn'nessh (Pleasures within pain), that Hitza'pulachi was destroyed and shattered.

Tla'oc= Tla'oc is one of the many Gods of water, and commonly seen as one of the rulers of an afterlife, this one associated with water and paradise. His realm is said to be the destiny of those died due to water-related deaths, though there is conjecture on whether he would cause these deaths or not. Tla'oc is said to be one of the older gods, though far younger then Hitza'pulachi. Tla'oc's body is in fact made from mud, and, as such, is also commonly seen as an earth deity.
 * God of - Water, rain.

Tla'oc is important to agricultural worlds, and other sources of food for the Multus Esse. Multus, similar to Judeo-Christian religions, pray to him before eatin, for it is said that his blessing of food gives strength to those that eat it.

Tla'oc was said to have been shattered by the arrival of the Meeno Grox god, Khronizitan (Fire and Bloodshed). The 2 fought a lengthy battle, though Tla'oc was eventually defeated.

Chalkor'itzani= Chalkor'izani is another deity of water, said to be the wife of Tla'oc, and one of the last Multus Esse Gods to have formed. Still young, in only her hundreds, Chalkor chose Tla'oc to be her husband, and, was take to his palace. Here, it was said that in a surprising amount of time, they had 10 children, who became patrons to the various city ships now used by the Multus, and Chalkor became patron of child birth and raising.
 * Goddess of - Water, fertility.

Chalkor, much like her husband, is a goddess of water, though commonly a patron of oceans, lakes and rivers, and their protector. As such, the Multus place great reverence to ocean and other water bodies, and do not wash themselves with these waters, believing their dirt, an insult to Chalkor and her spirit nymphs.

Chalkor was said to have been taken hostage by the Meeno God, Khronizitan, when said dark god shattered Tla'oc.

Huxio'cantchu= Huxio'Cantchu is a Goddess of War, and revered for those who follow the path of the Power Halberd. As such, many Multus Esse Disciple Troopers worship her. Commonly seen as the wife of Hitza'pulachi, Huxio married the god after he impressed her by bringing back the head of a dangerous hell-beast. Huxio is the possibly the eldest goddess, as not even Hitza was aware when she was created, hinting that she caused the creation of the other gods.
 * Goddess of - War

Disciples worship when they yield their battle halberds, common weapons for every Multus, from Elite Guards, to Disciples. As such, they bring their Halberds to a Spirit Walker, the equivalent to a Multus priest, in order to have them blessed by the Goddess of War. Deaths with these weapons cause their souls to be brought to Huxio, where she sentences them based on their actions in life.

Huxio'Cantchu was one of the last of the Gods to fall, though was shattered by the Bachyeon God Xikeenzh (Toys with minds).

Xiukeelth= Xiukeelth was the god of fire, day and heat, and also seen as the god who brought hope, such as life after death, and food during famine. Born during one of Hitza'pulachi's rebirths, the young god was given home within Huxio, and was allowed to develop further within the goddess before he was finally born. Xiukeelth became the sovereign of fire, and taught the ancient Multus races how to use it in their "extremely" ancient prehistory. As such, they seek to continue his ideas, by teaching other races.
 * God of - Fire, day, heat, life.

Xiukeelth teaches to always have hope in the darkest hour, and, as such, the Multus draw strength from him, as he is said to draw strength from them as they gain hope. Xiukeelth is also in charge of monitoring the day for any interruptions and incursions by the Beasts of Hell.

Xiukeelth was shattered by Kronizitan, when the young god tried to defend his own "father". Due to this, Xiukeelth's day, is used in reference to fathers among the Multus Esse.

Chiaziko= Chiaziko is the Goddess of Fires, Volcanoes, and another patron of war. Chiaziko was born shortly after Chalkor'itzani, and chose fellow fire god, Xiukeelth, to be her mate. Xiu, to appease her, lite thousands of stars across the universe, in one second. These stars, which the Multus and other mortals see as Blue stars, are considered his most honored, and Multus commonly ask permission from any sentients native to the system if they can build temples to honor the pair.
 * Goddess of - Fire, Volcanos, War.

Chiaziko commonly is seen as the Patron of Energy blades, and the Multus honor her by engraving her mark upon the flat of their blades, before it is exposed to the energies that turn it into a Plasma Blade. High ranking swordsmen commonly burn her mark onto their body to honor her.

Chiaziko, commonly, is less welcoming then her husband, and commonly, when angered, will light volcanos to punish mortals who anger her. There are many savage stories about mortals and gods alike that stole from her, and suffered horribly from it.

Chiaziko was shattered alongside her husband by Khronizitan, though not before she took his eye as a trophy. It is said the Queen's Habitat ship still contains the Eye of Death.

Teza'cokpachi= Teza'cokpachi is one of the four immortal sons of the elder god, Ozenkow, and seen as the creator of the Locrin'noth, as well as god of mystical elements. The second eldest of the four, Teza'cokpachi was seen as a fickle god, and desired to create things quickly. So, instead of creating a planet, he first created the Locrin'noth, and then created their homeworld, Ether, which he then sent them on a scared mission to find. Once they did, he gifted them with the ability to live in two worlds, the world of the dead, Dark Matter, and living, Light matter.
 * God of - Magic, unseen matter, Patron of the Locrin'noth.

Teza'cokpachi is patron of mystics and Essence users around the universe, and Multus Esse commonly call these beings, Teza'lokorn (Teza's blessed). Such beings are treated with great respect, and must not be killed unless absolutely nessacary. Teza is patron of the Spirit Walkers, the priests of Multus society, even if they follow a different god, due to their essence abilities. As such, most Spirit Walkers follow Teza and their own god.

Teza'cokpachi survived the death of the gods by playing a game of chess with Xizeenzh, narrowly winning, but keeping his body and powers, as part of their deal. Teza used his powers to lead advice to Kossi'Valicar and the remaining Multus leaders on how to survive the extinction event.

Xotite-Ko= Xotite-ko is the God of War, force, and life, death and rebirth, and the eldest son of Ozenkow. Born from Ozenkow and his wife, Xotite helped Hitza'pulachi create living creatures by flaying himself, his flesh and blood drops falling on planets to create the first life forms. Hitza then used this flesh to mold the first life forms. Xotite became known as being opposed to his more free-thinking brother, Teza'cokpachi, and the 2 often had squabbles with each other. the Multus interpret these squabbles as super novas.
 * God of - Life/death/rebirth, War, Force.

Xotite helps new creatures come to life, guides them along the path of life, and ends them, but then allows their spirit to enter a new species' body so as to continue the cycle eternally. Multus believe they continue his teachings by creating new life-forms. Many more conservative elements believe they treed upon Xotite's ground, and that these creations are cursed to have no soul upon birth.

Xotite is also seen as a God of War, and patron of the Blade Gauntlets, now called Blade Knuckles. Any weapon that wraps around the fist is blessed by Xotite Spirit-Walkers. It is said that their weapons strip enemies of their flesh and life, so they may be reborn. As such, enemies, if they demand it, or are parasitic and need to be removed, are killed with these weapons so their flesh can be reused.

Xotite was killed by Nuto'odorah, the Bio-Morphling God, who crushed his body and scattered his remains.
