Editing Primordial (section)

===Yozis===
'''Malfeas, the Demon City:''' The Manic-Depressive former king of the Primordials. Even when he was intact he had problems wrapping his head around the concepts that other beings had opinions, or that he should care. Currently sewed inside his own stomach imprisoning his kin (or, if you're feeling unkind, turned inside-out and shoved '''up his own ass'''), he wants nothing more than to flip the proverbial table on Creation and start over, though only after torturing everything in it to death forever (at least twice).  Hates everything and everyone in Creation... but hates ''himself'' most of all.

'''Cecelyne, the Endless Desert:''' One-time head judge of the Primordials and current insane desert, Cecelyne surrounds the Realm of Malfeas in an endless expanse. She was once the perfect embodiment of law and order, however completely alien to us the version of justice she personified was. Hers were the unbreakable laws by which all things were governed, and she was fundamentally incapable of even conceiving of anything ever breaking them. Which is a major part of why when Exalted Host rose up to murder and tear apart the creators of everything, breaking just about every last one of her carefully crafted statutes and receiving precisely none of the mandated punishments, it broke ''her.'' They taught her new laws through example, ones that would never hurt her by failing the way her old ones did - "the strong can do whatever they want to the weak". All of her laws are now comically unfair and hypocritical because that's the only point left to any of it; the most famous example is that all laws must be written in blue, while it's illegal for the lower classes to look at anything this colour, and it is illegal to not know the law. According to Word of God, she's the embodiment of borderline personality disorder (despite her personality fitting narcissistic disorder/superiority complexes better). 

'''She Who Lives In Her Name, the Principle of Hierarchy:''' -  Obsessive-Compulsive She Who Lives was in charge of order and hierarchy back in the day, and recent events have only reinforced her longstanding belief that freedom is the problem with creation. She was only narrowly convinced to give her exalts free will, and seeks to rectify the condition whenever and wherever she can.  Also, blew up most of creation in a fit of pique after the war by smashing three of the orbiting crystal spheres that comprise her being into it, irrevocably reducing and damaging herself in the process.  May or may not have been Malfeas's lover before both of them went balls-out crazy, and usually has her absurdly-long, problematic-for-the-books'-word-count name rendered as SWLiHN, or Swillin'.

'''Adorjan, the Silent Wind:''' Once Adrian, the river encompassing creation, she had her Fetich soul Lilike killed in the primordial war and turned into a silent windstorm. She's not really mad about it though. In fact she's happy as can be. She loves creation, she loves exalts, and she'd love nothing more than to summon up her winds and [[Murder|give you a big hug]]. Her exalts get a charm to instantly fall in love with people and then get bonuses for hurting them. She hates most sound though, hence the "Silent Wind" (and one of her charms is called Hateful Wicked Noise), so demons of Hell play loud music ''constantly'' in order to ward her off.

'''The Ebon Dragon, the Shadow of All Things:''' The original sociopath. The elemental embodiment of [[That Guy]], or more simply, [[Malal| opposing other beings from their goals]], which is about all he knows how to do (he had this urge before other beings had goals). He is the least mutilated of the Yozis due to a timely surrender and is still capable of (mostly) rational thought. As such he is one of the prime movers in the demon city. He was responsible for cursing the Solars (well, telling the others how to do it and fuelling it with their dying breaths) and was the driving force behind the [[Infernals|Green Sun Princes]]. He is basically backstabbing everybody all the time, and if ''Return of the Scarlet Empress'' is to be believed he's so irredeemably treacherous even his own component souls are scheming against one another, [[Lulz|risking his escape from Malfeas being foiled if one fails to or does backstab another at the right/wrong moment. So in other words, he's such a backstabbing scumbag he occasionally backstabs '''HIMSELF''' by not backstabbing people.]] Oh and he's also a stalker.

'''Kimbery, the Sea That Marched Against the Flame:''' The mood-swinging, passive-aggressive control freak to Adorjan's PTSD-driven obsessive stalker. If you're on her bad side she'll consume you under her acidic waves. If you're on her good side she'll lavish you with affection (usually in the form of acidic waves). Hurt her and it's an unforgivable betrayal that will see you drowned in acidic waves, get hurt by her (usually in the form of acidic waves), and it's an entirely reasonable punishment you ''forced'' her to give you. Nobody survives Kimbery's attentions for too long one way or another. Her demon-blooded descendants in Creation have basically become the inbred yokel pirate mafia.

'''Cytherea, the Mother of Creation:''' The Divine Ignition, she is the Big Bang itself. She helped wake the Primordials (except for Oramus, whose response was along the lines of "What took you so long?") and build Creation. Beyond that not much is known about her.

'''Oramus, the Dragon Beyond the World:''' When the Celestial Incarnae and the Exalted Host imprisoned the Yozi, they assured themselves that escape was impossible. Then they glanced at the primordial who defined what Is and what Is Not part of Creation and realized that extra steps needed to be taken. They broke Oramus's wings, all seven hundred and seventy-seven of them, and wrapped him up inside a shell of his own self. So now the universe's most powerful reality hacker is trapped inside himself, [[grimdark|slowly going more and more insane as his madness warps the world around him]]. Needless to say, shit is going to get [[Dwarf Fortress|fun]] if he ever escapes.

'''Isidoros, the Black Boar that Twists the Skies:''' A yozi who takes the form of an unstoppable rampaging black hole in the shape of a boar. Likes screwing destiny and penetrating things, dislikes rules and inevitability. Unsurprisingly the cause of mountains of slash fic both in and outside of canon. Currently in a bromance with Szoreny that may or may not include a "b". Most bro-tier of the Yozis, because his purview means that he thinks the Exalted are pretty baller; in ''Return of the Scarlet Empress'', he may even sabotage the Reclamation to give the PCs a fighting chance, and/or try to beat the shit out of Szoreny for betraying their siblings to get the two of them out of Malfeas.

'''Sacheverell, Who Knows the Shape of Things to Come:''' The Abhorrent Prophet Unimagined, also called The Lidless Eye That Sees. Another yozi who had his fetich soul killed (because that's ''always'' a good idea)  and turned into a deranged seer as a result. While he sleeps he sees infallible visions of the present. If he should ever wake up he will see infallible visions of the ''future'', forcing everyone to follow what he sees. ''Nobody'' wants Sacheverell to wake up. Sachaverell himself is asleep due to a ''Macbeth''-style realisation that he's a bit player whose actions are utterly inconsequential in the story of the Exalted; nothing he could ever do really ''matters'', and that knowledge has rendered him too depressed to get out of bed. 

'''Hegra, the Typhoon of Nightmares:''' A mood-swinging storm of emotions and patron of traders. While she despises physical form, she loves fucking with people, demons and humans alike, by inciting riots of random emotions just to see what happens. Demons love her and rejoice at her passage due to her thunder keeping Adorjan away. She also despises thieves and gifts, considering them forms of trade in which one side receives nothing in return.

'''Elloge, the Sphere of Speech:''' Another victim of Fetich death, Elloge got gender swapped and turned into a silently moving sphere of invisible linguistic concepts. '''Unlike''' most Fetich deaths, not overwhelmingly terrible for everyone as a result.  If you stumble into her by mistake, [[wat|prepare to be turned into a linguistic description of yourself and engage in narrative kung fu battles with the past participle tense]]. May or may not want to bang Oramus due to the impossibilities in his qualia (the various ways Yozi experience things) being super-desirable to her.

'''Szoreny, the Silver Forest:''' A giant silver forest with split personality issues, Szoreny loves you, Szoreny hates you. He's the quickest way to travel around Malfeas if you don't mind running through a twisted house of mirrors inhabited by distorted clones of yourself. Probably the least maniacal of the Yozis, he's working on getting a pardon for himself and his sometimes boyfriend Isidoros so he can <strike>have his revenge at long last</strike> live in harmony with creation. (Which may or may not involve conquering it first, but go back and read Malfeas's entry if you don't think that still qualifies him as "least maniacal.") [[What|May have once gotten pregnant due to banging Malfeas's fetich soul five years before the main timeline.]]

'''Qaf, the Heaven-Violating Spear:''' A mountain with no base or apex, ascending him involves spiritual growth. As his lessons are infinite, his peak can never be reached. Isidoros tried once, starting a classic paradox of incompatible infinities, but reality hasn't actually broken that much: when he got bored and left, [[derp|his hoof-stamp continued the ascent]]. He created the concept of perfection and is a bit of a guru personality-wise. 

'''Metagaos, the All Hunger Blossom:''' [[Tyranids|OMNOMNOM]]. A gigantic swamp that eats everything that steps within his confines, including abstract concepts, because haven't you been paying attention? Escape his grasp, you'll be riddled with diseases since he's devoured your ''health''. Fail to, and you'll become a part of him as he devour your individuality. You'll know you're getting close when things start turning grey, because he's eaten all the color. There's only one way out of him - in fact there is only one possible direction to go, because he's devoured all the other directions. Not the paths, ''the concepts of those other directions''. He's chewed holes in himself and pieces of his brother primordials have begun to bleed through. Those who pass through may have spent hours and found days have passed, or seconds and come out years later, as Metagaos has been chewing ''time itself''. Adorjan would like him, as he devours sounds, but she likes silence for its solace and serenity, and Metagaos has eaten those things too. Don't ever try to engage in actual combat with him - he'll probably just win by eating the abstract concept of his defeat and/or your victory.
