Izanagi-no-Mikoto (Solarverse)



Izanagi-no-Mikoto is a Shinto God of Creation, and is an appearing character in Rise of the Solar God and The Centralm Master. He makes his first debuts in Chapter 35 of ROSG, and the first and currently only chapter of TCM.

History
Izanagi-no-Mikoto was a part of the second generation of Shinto deities, born after the Kotoamtsukami. He, Izanami and Kuninotokotachi, helped stir the oceans on the Bridge of the Heavens. On his first marriage ceremony with Izanami, she made the mistake of speaking to Izanagi first, so the ritual had to be repeated so that he would speak first. After the second ceremony, Izanami birthed various of deities.

 One day, Izanami gave birth to Hi-no-Kagutsuchi the Deity of Fire, and perished from the severe burns. Upon death, her body and soul were sent into Yomi. Izanagi, in his grief, beheaded the newborn deity with the "ten-grasp sword" (Totsuka-no-Tsurugi). Afterwards, he paid his wife a visit in Yomi-no-kuni, in the hopes of retrieving her. But she had partaken of food cooked in the furnace of the Underworld, rendering her return impossible. Izanagi betrayed his promise not to look at her, and lit up a fire, only to behold her in her monstrous and hellish state. To avange her shame, Izanami begins chasing him. Izanagi manages to escape and he put a strong boulder in the mouth of the Yomotsuhirasaka(a gateway to Yomi), blocking the exit, and dooming his wife to eternal horrible residence in the realm of Yomi.

After sealing away Izanami, and technicallt annulling their marrige, he gave birth to the next generation of Shinto deities: Amaterasu, Tsukoyomi and Susanoo, by cleansing different parts of his face from the foulness of Yomi and Izanami.

In The Central Master, he appears to have led a peaceful life till the end of his days.

Appearence
In Rise of the Solar God, during the visions Issei recevies about Izanami's tragic past, Izanagi wears a blue robe and blue sandals. His hair is black and tied in a tight bun.

In The Central Master, he is described as a man in between his late 50's to 70's. His hair is grey from 'old age' and he has a disconnected moustache above his lips. He wears a black colored outfit, typical for the Japanese priests at that time.(which is long after the time period Issei witnesses in the visions)

Personality
During Issei's visions, he appears as a loving and caring husband up until he saw what has become of his wife. He seems terrified by what effect Yomi had on Izanami, to the point where he was even willing to leave her to rot in Yomi and completely disregarded her as his sister and wife. After escaping Yomi, he only felt truly comfortable when he cleansed himself from the unwanted effects. After that, he looses most of his affection towards Izanami and tried his hardest to forget her. This confirmed in the first chapter of The Central Master, in which it states he has told his children more than once not to step foot near Yomotsuhirasaka.

Despite that, whenever he gets reminded of Izanami he begins to feel great ounces of regret. And although he says her name with distaste and shows clear disgust for what she has become, he is also very sorrowful for her tragic fate.

Although his reletionship with his sons is unknown, it seems he is a far more understanding person than before, most likely to atone for his past. He favors Amaterasu the most, since she was loved by their worshippers and she, too, had a tragic experience in her affairs. For this reason, he appears a bit too soft with her than he normally is with others. It also looks like Amaterasu was the only one Izanagi can talk about his past with, as they both understand each the most, in their dysfunctional family.

He feels great respect towards the Kotoamtsukami as they are his superiors. Although he remains confused by why they would choose exactly him to be one of their successors and why they even decided to have successors, he doesn't bother his mind much with questions, and instead even tries to wear the title they gave him with pride.

Powers and Abilites
Godly Physiology: As a god, Izanagí's power far exceeds that of the majority of every other race. Since he is an elder deity, his strength is greater than the avarege norm of gods such as Amaterasu, Susanoo, Loki, etc. Amaterasu notes that the only beings she was aware of that were superior in power to her father were: Ophis, Great Red, The God from the Bible and the Trimuti.
