Ichurxis, God of Judgement (Ee-ker-zis)
Lord Ichurxis (a.k.a. God of Judgement)
"Light pierces through shadows, unveiling what lurks within. You may seek refuge in darkness, shroud yourself from the inevitable dawn of judgment, but know this: in every shadow, there exists soon, illumination. This light, relentless and probing, will delve toward deepest corners of your soul, seeking the faintest wisp of sin. It shall lay bare your transgressions, openly, before my discerning gaze."

Family Ties
1. Relationship with Alteria, God of Equipoise: Ichurxis shares a complex and pivotal relationship with his brother, Alteria. Given Ichurxis's unwavering commitment to judgment and Alteria’s role as the embodiment of balance and neutrality, their interactions are often marked by tension and necessity. Alteria frequently intervenes to temper Ichurxis's severe judgments with moral and ethical perspectives. Despite their differing approaches, there is an underlying respect rooted in their shared divine responsibilities.
2. Relationship with Neie, God of Celestials: Ichurxis's relationship with his father, Neie, is one of deep respect mixed with a relentless pursuit to live up to the high standards set by his father. Neie's overarching vision of cosmic order often aligns with Ichurxis's own principles of justice, but Ichurxis strives to carve out his own distinct identity and role within these shared domains. This relationship is characterized by a desire to both honor his father's legacy and assert his own authority as a deity of judgment.
Relationship with Hoaslien. Goddess of Malice: The relationship between Ichurxis and his sister Hoaslien is intensely antagonistic, marked by profound disapproval and near-hostility. Ichurxis, as a deity of judgment, finds himself in stark opposition to Hoaslien's embodiment of malice. His commitment to justice and order frequently puts him at odds with Hoaslien’s actions and influence, which he perceives as direct affronts to the moral and judicial codes he upholds. This deep-seated conflict has reached a point where, if not for his adherence to divine authority and cosmic law, Ichurxis might have taken extreme measures against Hoaslien. The tension between them is not just a mere disagreement over principles but verges on a fundamental and enduring enmity, reflective of their diametrically opposed natures within the divine spectrum.
