Gods

Gods were supernatural entities existing in the universe that possessed immense magical power and technology. Existing originally in the First Period, the gods escaped their world's destruction to create new paradises for themselves. They had largely died out by the time of the creation of the Third Period.

Early History
Since time immemorial, the gods enjoyed their paradise in the First Period. When their world suddenly collapsed, the gods boarded the ark Sin, sailing the black sea before discovering a new place. There, they created the Second Period, where they enjoyed paradise for one thousand years. Their second paradise was then destroyed by an unknown force the gods called "Malice". The 72 surviving gods were then forced to flee once again.

Creating Paradise
Finding another place, the 72 surviving gods began constructing the Third Period, directed by the sun god, filling the world with humans to populate it. At some point, 68 of the gods died, with Held burying them in the ground world's forest. Finishing their creation by BT 528, the sun god entered a quarrel with six of his kin and the twin gods after proposing that the gods leave the paradise they created to the humans' devices. Afterwards, he incarnated the twin gods as a two-headed dragon, Levia-Behemo.

New Realm
Rebelling against him, Levia-Behemo enacted destruction upon the Third Period before the sun god dropped Sin into the ground world. As a result, Levia-Behemo and the six other gods that disagreed with the sun god were sealed in the ark. The sun god then incarnated Held as a gigantic tree to protect the non-human creatures from the twin gods, afterwards taking the form of a bat to observe creation and becoming known as "Sickle".

In EC 013, Levia-Behemo were accidentally released from their prison and destroyed Magic Kingdom Levianta. Their resurrected form then collapsed, causing the twin gods to dwell inside Elluka's soul as an indescribable mass. At some point, Sickle turned the Second Period into an afterlife for the souls of the deceased humans, calling it the Heavenly Yard. After the Third Period's collapse, Sickle determined that the world had taken the worst of the four ways he had planned for it, beginning the preparations to intervene with his creation.

Biology and Appearance
While residing in the Second Period, the gods took on bipedal forms resembling humans. However, they were also able to change forms, allowing them to take on a variety appearances. Like humans, their superb intellect allowed them to innovate and adapt to unfamiliar situations and environments. Similarly, gods were also capable of manipulating magical energy, and had the capabilities of spawning entire worlds. Likewise, gods had the ability to freely travel in between the different worlds.

Conceptualization and Origin
