First Gods

(Refer to Elder Gods or First Gods)

Elder beings that are among the oldest of all races. The First Gods are creatures that existed partially in and out of our reality, suspended in the Astral plane that glues the multiverses together.

Billions of years ago, the First Gods were annihilated in a war with Oa and the Celestials. Their home destroyed, the First Gods fled in infinite directions at the speed of thought.

Many refugees took up residence in a pre-sentient expanse of space. Rich in magical energy and close to many 'thin' points in the multiverse, the entity was not unwelcoming of the new residents and they grew a symbiotic relationship with it. Called the Demiurge, it became a new home for the so-called Elder Gods who dwelt there. Among those gods was Gaea and her brother Chthon. Millions of years before humanity would even start using tools, a terrible war raged among the Elder Gods. Many of them degenerated into demons and monsters of nightmarish composition. Gaea bonded with the Demiurge and produced Atum, the first of the New Gods. Atum was tasked with preserving the balance of the godheads and systematically killed and banished many of the survivors. Only a few survived his wrath by slipping into sub-dimensions and claiming them as their personal demesne, such as ancient Chthon.

Note: The First Gods/Elder Gods are different than the New Gods, or the Old Gods.
