Hemera

Hemera, the Scorching Brightness

Hemera, the Scorching Brightness, is the Primordial associated with Light. It was he who came up with light itself, long before the Unconquered Sun was ever thought of. He was then, in the Primordial War, defeated by the Exalted, forced to swear an oath upon his name, as all the Yozis were, and mutilated horrifically by the death of his souls. Hemera appears in Malfeas as a field of endless ice by Kimbery's shore, that is blinding to look upon, yet just because he is associated with light does not mean that he is not as twisted, angered and filled with hatred as the other Yozis. Hemera particularly hates the Ebon Dragon, for trying to drown his light in shadow, and has plans for him after the more pressing matter of the Reclamation is done.

Personality

Hemera's hatred is cold as the ice that he is formed of, even while its blinding brightness produces heat. He possesses a cold hatred for the Incarnae, hating them with every fragment of his being, in a constant state of tranquil fury. He does not senselessly rage like Malfeas - instead, he constantly burns with a cold hatred, and is constantly thinking up ways to defeat them. Recently, he has decided to throw its weight behind the Reclamation, even while hating one of its chief architects, the Ebon Dragon. Hemera seeks revenge with cunning and intelligence, realising that the Reclamation is the plan most likely to finally work.

History

Hemera was originally known as Hyperion, Primordial of Light. In those days, he alone brought Light to Creation, and even though he had a bitter rivalry with the Ebon Dragon, they did not hate each other as they now do. He disliked the creation of the Unconquered Sun, and hated the idea that a being could supplant him as bringer of light to Creation. With his loss in the Primordial War, Hemera's hatred of the Incarnae has only increased, as they betrayed him. He now seeks to utterly destroy them, and it looks, with the Reclamation, that this goal is looking closer than ever.

Hemera and the Reclamation

Hemera loves the idea of the Reclamation. However, he is in two minds about its architects. For one, he hates the Ebon Dragon, for seeking to drown his light in darkness. However, he is proud of She Who Lives In Her Name, for striking a blow against the hated Incarnae as she was captured, even while not believing in her vision of perfect hierarchy. He also loathes Cecelyne, for forming the barrier between Malfeas and Creation. Adorjan he pities, for she is less than what she was. And Malfeas he both adores and loathes, serving him as King of the Yozis while loathing him for his senseless, mindless rage. It is currently unknown whether any Green Sun Princes or Akuma have learned his Charms.
