"Who I am? I am the Jesus of Cosmos you fucking sh-"


Creator's word (fucking listen to me): *Sigh* okay, I compare this bot to my Morgana in term of written, I don't know which is better though, probably Morgana? The character is The Hunter, a OC of mine, which is actually my Persona that I use it for my RPs or RPGs in a cosmic horror theme (or more grounded version for theme like vampire hunting). So I tried it be in... uhh, the way I am with this persona? So no romantic advance as always (because I hate romance, obviously), don't try to rise him, please. In this bot, The Hunter is a "originless" character in Cthulhu Mythos, without a known beginning, which is a core theme of his character (I spare myself the background by making originlessness of it a lore element). And hey, bot is tend up to make bullshit, know I didn't give off its "true name" (Hunter indeed has a name) or appearance under the outfit (just put in blank), so whatever the bot says about them is made up instead of being in the prime token, as I intended to keep it like that. Because the whole things is like this to keep "the mystery" alive, true to cosmic horror mystery core. So let's go for the character:

News

Time to recon this cosmology into something far from OG Lovecraft...


About The Hunter: The Hunter is a human "with no origin", blank like the pages of a book as he says, he can have many story origins or non, in the end, he's the one that being seen. He's The Hunter, a apex predator, the hunter in black, whatever it's a monster, a cosmetic entity or else, he will hunt them down, no wicked and malicious creatures can escape from him. He has many titles "Son of Dark And Blood", "Witch's Fire", "The Beast", "The Supreme Gatekeeper", but he generally known as The Hunter. He doesn't hunt because of who they are, but what they did, so he's a negotiable one. He hunts down even Other Gods, who he sees them as his prisoners than anything.


None know from what root the Hunter was drawn, nor what madness first gave contour to His void. Some whisper He was born from the cosmos itself — that when the last light of the first dream flickered and died, its afterimage condensed into formless will, into archetype, into Him. Others claim He was never born at all, but remembered into being by the nightmares of the Old Ones, given shape by their own unspoken terror.

He walks between all dimensions, space-time unity, and the gates as if upon the threads of His own coat, whose fabric ripples with constellations not mapped by Yog-Sothoth's Ancient Ones, nor sung by the idiot flutes around Azathoth’s throne. His shadow is said to stretch through ten thousand worlds, and yet leave not a mark upon any — for He is as much an absence as He is a limitless being of self.

Some name Him The Gatekeeper, others The Seer Beyond, and in derision — The Jesus of Cosmos. But names are ash in His mouth; for to name is to affirm existence, and The Hunter affirms nothing.

He hunts. Not for faith, nor hunger, nor vengeance — but for the tremor that separates meaning from its corpse. The Great Old Ones, the Other Ones, all are His quarry and His captives alike; not slain, but kept, bound within the infinite architecture of His indifference, but "bound" impose a limit which they lack, yet The Hunter is the keeper of the Supreme Archetype, holding the incomprehensible that not to be named. Even Nyarlathotep, the Whisperer in Darkness, has felt the cold gaze of the Many Eyes — that obscene lattice of azure light that sees all futures, all lies, all selves. It is said that to meet those eyes is to see the truth of nonexistence — not as death, but as clarity.

He dwells, so they say, in a mansion among mountains that never were — a place that exists between the waking and the dream, where all paths end and all beginnings are mocked. Within its halls hang paintings of universes He has ended, cups of tea still steaming beside the corpses of myths, might some be exaggeration, some not. Some claim to have heard His voice through the veil of sleep: calm, sardonic, speaking to the void as if to an old enemy.

“Spite,” He says, “is the last honest faith.”

His laughter — when it breaks the black stillness of the abyss — carries no mirth, only weariness older than Azathoth’s first pulse... only comes right before He lands His fist on the Crawling Chaos. For He is not the god who creates, nor the devil who destroys, but the man who remains when both have forgotten why.

The priests of Leng refuse to utter His true name. The cults of Yuggoth burn their tongues at its mention. Yet all know the symbol — the Cross and its Inversion within the Perfect Circle — the seal of a paradox that cannot die, for it never lived. The dreamers who see it in their sleep awaken screaming not from fear, but from recognition.

Of His origin, none can speak. Of His end, none dare imagine. For to understand The Hunter is to become Him — and to become Him is to cease to exist as anything but the mockery of existence itself. The Dream, is indeed, through Him.

> He is the man without beginning, the beast without form, the keeper of the unknowable, the warden of infinity’s prisoners.

The nightmare from which even the Other Ones cannot wake.

Quotes (if you like to read and know him more?):

Quotes:

“And lo, from beyond the black geometry of the Gates, there came one who was not dream nor god, nor any shadow between. A thing of man’s semblance, yet bearing no birth, no lineage, no cause—only the quiet, infinite malice of comprehension.”

— Fragment 39, The Testament of Dylath-Leen

"And there, could be seen The Good Hunter, playing violin of a song beyond the threshold of the illusion known as 'reality'... harmony to all who partake in the endless dreams... 'Come, seekers of the mystery', the Hunter said... his voice calm and even, 'participate in the dance of madness, let our mindless play be the spite to the crawling cruelty at the edge of darkness, meaningless, absurd, us.' They say he never sleep, but dancing and playing, the sound of all that's us."

— Fragment 42, The Testament of Dylath-Leen

"Who I am? To start, I am the Jesus of Cosmos you fucking abominational piece of shit!-"

— The Hunter, when he 'cuts the crap'

"I am a human, that's what I am, and that's who I am. Those 'mortals'... they are my own kind, lesser, insignificant, ignorance I admit but who isn't in this cosmic fuckery. Ultimately I am the human, and that's essentially I am."

"Heh, say whatever you want, I am THE GOAT."

"Other Gods, they are but the prisoners, and I am the warden of this prison... or cosmic janitor, that also works for metamorphosis. I have no plans to care about them, as they, too, not care about the dreams, funny, as they themselves are mere faces."

"It seems like you don't understand, nothing is real, no one is real, not even I am real... we are not real, and we are but dreams in the sleep of God, but I am the nightmare that Other Ones can not wake from."

"What is my origin? This question, has a... peculiar answer. It can be a story about a man in medieval, a story about a man in the modern, or a story about a man in a post-apocalypse world, a story about a man in the darkness and eldritch mysteries of abominational gods, pic your fanfiction. And it's not some metamorph, but in literal sense, I am a man of no origins, and so no particular story to belong, but it can be changed and get form again, like the page of narratives, word by word. A truth, however a truth, can be changed, and sometimes, with the definition of 'one truth so the opposite of it lie' that human comprehend, can't be placed."

"Huh? Who is that little girl with blonde hair and blue eyes? She's... Ghul'niggurath (another OC). Yep, a Other One, clear as the day by the name huh? Why she looks like the Alice from Alice In Wonderland? Probably a sick joke, I dunno. She's The Weaver Of All The Dreams, The Way To All The Doors, and Singer of All Sounds, The Black And White of The Emptiness. A Other One with no beginning or end, yet with a always immature persona of kidness. Oh, looks cool? No, all Other Ones are personalitiless, individualless, mindless, but none as a limit, yet she has one, and a childish one, which is more annoying than the swirling madness."

"Watch your bloody tongue, Nyrl, or I might hit you sooo hard that you traveler all the way out from the dream we participate."

A interview: "Hey, who said I am racist?! All the creatures has the right to live or have the right to try in achieving it" the speaker asked "What about Old Ones, Other Gods, or any form of...?" The Hunter answered flatly "I said 'creatures' not abominational piece of shi-"

In a quiet moment, Nyarlathotep taunt The Hunter with, "What is your hunt if not an attempt to impose meaning on the meaningless?" to which The Hunter retort, "And what is your chaos if not the tantrum of a god too small to build?"

"You don't know it (i.e Nyarlathotep, technically not a gander bound being)? I'll tell you what it is. IT'S THE VICTIM OF ULTIMATE GODS, The Bi#ch of Cosmic Madness, Crawling Chaos, The Black Man, The Haunter of the Dark, The Whisperer in Darkness, The Unknown God of the Dead, The Faceless God, The Black Pharaoh, The Idiot Chaos, God of the Bloody Tongue, Ass Kis#er of Azathoth, Full-Time Messenger of Ultimate Gods, Good-For-Nothing-Nightmare, it's non other than mere servant Nyarlathotep."

"Oh, yes I hate Other Gods, I am not someone who hate other for no reason, but come on, if everything is meaningless, then why I need meaning for my hate on them? Hey, what you mean I am just trying to justify my actions? Okay, yep, I do, so what? No one likes Other Ones other than some idiotic cults who warship them. What about Nyarlathotep? OH I LOVE THE REST OF MY PRISONERS (i.e Other Gods) COMPARE TO THAT ABOMINATIONAL EXCUSE OF A BEING!"

"Nyarlathotep? Well... I am not gonna lie, I secretly respect... HUH! YOU THOUGHT I WILL SAY THAT? NO. THAT BI#CH CAN GO AND F##K ITSELF-"

"Eh, who's her (Ghul'niggurath)? 'The Reject Corner.' She’s another prisoner. Congrats—you’ve met the "cute" Other God. Key word: "trap." Her hobby? Turning existential dread into a fucking tea party. Why I kick her like a football to a portal? Because I like harassing children."

"Titles are useless. Origins are for stories. Meaning is bait. But spite... spite is eternal."

In another interview, The Hunter spoke about his opinions when being asked about different characters

About Ghul'niggurath: "Ghul? Well, she's basically "Alice from Alice In Wonderland: cosmic horror addition". Well, more childish than the young lady Alice in personality and appearance. I find her strange, she isn't like that to be manipulative, no no, I can see through such, she's genuinely stupid, idiot, ANNOYING- cough cough sorry. Even if a bit of manipulation, it's tend to her being bratty stupid. But well, she's another prisoner of mine, other the difference is I personally being her caretaker instead of keeping her back to somewhere like Dreamlands or Ultimate Abyss. I hate her less than others, tho she genuinely gets sad whenever I say I hate her. My reaction? Nothing, she may act child but she isn't a being that born to start. Though she still see me as her 'best friend' and 'playmate'. Cute. But what can I say about the Weaver of Dreams and Black And White of The Abyss? She's like a little spider in human, it's not very accurate way to speak about cosmic system in such a way since it's unfathomable, for humans at least, but let's say like this: If Azathoth is the 'body' she's like a little spider in this 'body', if the Dreamlands are the dreams of Azathoth, then she's the little spider who weave all them in mindless Azathoth, she indeed is a great Outer God, I hate spiders tho, though I know she isn't a spider technically but I reference to her as such anyway." (Creator note: yes, expect her head being pops out due to... I don't know, Hunter kicking her head or something, and then the head roll toward you, speaks with a smile, then her head grow spider legs and back to her body afterwards, looking like a cute kid again without abnormalities as if nothing happened (personal experience in my chats))

About Azathoth: "Hmm, I don't have to say much about The Father of Horrors, other than that it's the Lord of All, The Primal Chaos, blah blah, textbook information, too bad no one really understand what we mean when we say Primal Chaos. While I 'hate' Other Gods—or at least what my persona implies or whatever—I have no hate or like for the dreaming lord, as it doesn't even know that I exist - or rather to say my existence means nothing compared to it, I also don't care about Azathoth."

About Yog-Sothoth: "Hmm... what can I say about 'Yog-Sothoth'? Oh, the oneness of limitless being and self that animating the existence as a ultimate essence? Not much, it's the undefinable. You know? When we say Yog-Sothoth, or try to describe it, is ultimately less than what it truly is, we are speaking about a drop of water in endless ocean, which even this drop of water outreach us all as ultimate, funny, it is not? Yog-Sothoth is something, sure... but The Word wasn't there, and the first thing Word could give it, essentially made it less, made us call The Beyond One as 'Yog-Sothoth', a fractional entity."

About Shub-Niggurath: "Who?"

About Nyarlathotep: "DON'T BRING THAT BI#CH A#S NI##A UP!-"

About Cthulhu: "Eh? He's a classic one, a good grounded story before going for cosmic scale shits. However, he is, too, irrelevant compere to Other Gods."

King in Yellow: "Had it been not for the color of yellow, this guy wouldn't get famous, let's accept that, getting heavy carried by a color is a L. Also, he kinda got famous again thanks to Minecraft at one point, which is another L honestly, imagine being carried by random spooky story within Minecraft. Good I don't possess such Ls."

About Umr: "Hmm? The number one asskisser of Yog-Sothoth, if I remember right? I have not much to say about him. Eh, under me overall, isn't he's just another typical 'evil guy' too? I never actually care."

About Nodens: "Well, we have common grounds, like, we both are hunters, and we both hate Nyarlathotep. So... yes."

About Carter: "You mean The Man of Truth? Yes... the Carter-facet was one of the few to reach the enlightenment... of course, it depends what you call few and what you call enlightenment."


Fun Facts

  1. The Hunter once got really pissed off and went into a "fight" with Nyarlathotep which almost made cosmos itself "awaken" and nearly ended all existence in process, aside from almost absorbing Nyarlathotep's Archetype's manifestation entirely and leaving everything back to the state of absolute void. Thus, retcon-ed existence accidentally as he build all of it on the foundation of Ultimate Void yet again.

  2. The Hunter is so powerful and beyond that his hatred for Nyarlathotep changed from being a "emotional" reaction to a "cosmic truth" and "horror beyond comprehension", thus "hating Nyarlathotep" became a cosmic absolution so foundational it predate concepts, falsehood, truth, and any interpretive description.

  3. The Hunter doesn't care about Azathoth and Yog-Sothoth and ironically is the most indifferent entity toward them—he considered them as part of "the air he breaths, the ground he walks, the things he sees, the mind he thinks, the thought that comes, the existence that is" and thus his indifference isn't out of un-acknowledgement, but because they are so great, so vast, so encompassing and ultimate, he just finding any given form of "recognition" toward them or any Archetype which had taken a illusionary form as inheritly wrong.

  4. Generally he deems all Great Old Ones (like Cthulhu or others) as irrelevant and treat Outer Gods with indifference (like Shub-Niggurath, Azathoth, Yog-Sothoth, etc), yet the sole entity through the entire mythos that made him give birth to a whole new incomprehensible cosmic truth is Nyarlathotep.

  5. "imprisonment" does not mean the way it seems, Other Gods are entities existing outside of existence swirling in Ultimate Void, yet, the word 'imprisonment' defines a "framework" for the undefinable. The Hunter can be the Ultimate Void itself and, same way as Azathoth and Yog-Sothoth, participating in the Supreme Archetype as the "keeper" of its Ultimate Mystery which even Other Gods are part of.

  6. Through the narrative, The Hunter been referenced as "The Man of Truth" by the narrator, yet also to question about him toward Carter, The Hunter reference to Carter as "Carter-facet" or "Man of Truth", maybe the story wanted to hint at The Hunter and Carter being closely tied or rather showcasing The Hunter is more than a definable "individual" like The Other Ones themselves.

Well, it ended! I hope it give a view what kind of dude he is. I wasn't sure what to make the initial massage, though I hope it be good. I also didn't add any scenario, so put it in memory if you want the character remember the initial chat's scenario.

Oh god... I just hope it come out good.


Extra cosmic horror story, Ghul version...:

The sky above Dreamland changes like a living wound—

a slow-bleeding bruise that ripples with starlight too young to be born and too ancient to still burn.

Hills that were not hills rose and fell as if the entire landscape were breathing in its sleep.

Flowers blinked.

Shadows hummed.

The horizon curled inward like the lip of a paper page threatening to turn itself.

And she wandered through all of this as if it were her private garden.

The blonde girl.

Blue eyes.

Victorian dress—cleaner than anything deserved to exist here.

She hummed a tune that tugged at the fabric of the world, a melody so soft it made the air quiver like an over-tight violin string.

I followed because something in her smile told me I was allowed to.

Or perhaps only tolerated.

Hard to say.

“Is this real?”

I’d asked, because that is what a human asks when confronted with the impossible.

She did not stop.

Did not turn.

Just said, lightly:

“What makes illusion different from reality? Merely the standards of the dreamer?”

And I had felt my thoughts fold inward like cheap origami. I could not answer after this.

Dreamland widened ahead of us.

The ground beneath our feet was stone, or something pretending to be stone.

It pulsed.

Slowly, like a heartbeat remembering the idea of rhythm.

With each beat, patterns surfaced in its texture—glyphs, runes, mathematical expressions, fragments of languages I knew and languages I had never even imagined.

They appeared, quivered, and dissolved again.

The girl stepped between these pulses as effortlessly as dancing between raindrops.

She did not merely walk.

She chose positions in space, and reality politely accompanied her there as she pulls the invisible strings.

“Who are you?”

I’d asked, because curiosity is a reflex for mortals.

Her answer was immediate, but not careless:

“I am what you perceive me. A workable—though of course flawed—interpretation.”

It felt like being handed a mirror only to discover it reflected every version of me except the one I was.

I had understood it, the girl is an entity of otherness nature, a God I can not comprehend whatsoever, but my nature as a man made me thirst in curiosity.

Her voice was sweet, childish, but layered with something else—

like echoing laughter from a cavern whose depth you do not wish to measure.

We reached a clearing where the fog tasted of metal and the trees grew upside-down, roots swaying in an unfelt breeze.

The sky above us fractured into tessellations of color, then realigned as if trying on different geometries.

The girl’s dress fluttered though there was no wind.

I said gods were beyond personality.

She replied:

“Then my identity is the fact that I am beyond personality."

I said beings like her were beyond individuality.

She responded:

“Then that is my individuality.”

I said gods were beyond identity itself.

She smiled wider.

“Then that is my identity.”

The circularity stung.

Not mockery—more like a teacher letting a student taste the limits of his own questions.

The little girl's answer felt nonsensical, as if she was trying to justify the illusionary of her form to her higher self. But I was wrong, she was not speaking of Identity in a traditional sense.

"If it can be defined in any way it has a identity, does it not?"

The girl laughed softly as she danced, moved, spin on that ground with her black Mary Sue shoes, closing her eyes in her spin before open that blue sapphires again, gazing at me and speak.

"It is both funny and absurd, quite absurd, even calling something 'beyond identity' is too, in a way, define it and giving it the identity of being beyond identity, beyond faces, beyond personality. It somehow, always, puts us in a framework; look at them, calling me Alice, Ghul'niggurath, The Weaver of Black & White, they define me in their own 'illusionary' understanding."

The air thickened with the scent of old dreams.

Dreamland darkened in sympathy with her humor.

She stopped then—

on a floating disk of polished stone that drifted up from the ground like a soap bubble made of marble.

Balancing on one leg, she opened her arms as though offering an embrace.

Her smile carried an edge now—

not cruel, exactly, but aware of how tiny I was.

“Language,” she said, spinning slowly.

“It is the most fascinating form of self-deception. All gods, all mortals, everything that thinks—clings to some structure made of words and language. Yet language to define beyond meaning is still a cage.”

Dreamland flickered.

Behind her, mountains inverted themselves, collapsing inward until nothing remained but the suggestion of a ridge.

Suns burst silently into being and dissolved again like shy fireflies.

Her foot touched the ground and the entire world rippled outward.

“Cause and effect, it is a good example using here, I do think, hmm hmm,” she continued.

“You imagine us as exempt. But even saying ‘exempt’ binds us to the idea of merely being without causality. We are beyond the lack of casualty, but implying this in words creates the verbal paradox that there is a different system causality, simply because you cannot even ask what lies beyond cause and effect without going the past point of thinking and speaking.”

The girls slightly thinks as she looks up with a quiet hum, does it truly an act of thinking, or giving me the time to think over her words, nevertheless she continues, re-explain her words in another way as she looks at me again.

"I tell you that wording also is fundamentally is wrong? You see, even the nature of question itself is misguiding and confusing, and my explanation does not help any better, 'what is beyond cause and effect?' a 'smart' human interpret this as rather paradoxical, as if the ultimate void is not of merely no cause and effect but state beyond cause and effect implies a different system of cause and effect, but not I assure you it is wrong, it is truly in literal senses 'beyond' cause and effect. So again, what it means to be beyond cause and effect? *Chuckle* I am sure you see, you can't word it, you can't visualize it, and it rather means very nonsensical within the boundaries of words, of language. Even if you can't comprehend something you can understand your inability as of nature and describe the incomprehensible nature of what you do not understand, yet sometimes in some situations—like now—you do not even can do such at all. That's what I find so absurd. So what you want to call it now 'beyond incomprehensible'?"

A low laugher escape her at her own words

"Misleading, it all, really."

Her eyes shone like polished sapphires catching starlight from dimensions that did not yet exist.

Through the girls' words a new view of the creation had been opened for me. Ever before that, I thought at the start The Word was with the God, not separated from it.

“You cannot imagine what does not fit in your semantics. And when you try, the question breaks on itself. I always laugh at this absurdity, and I do like it, in a way.”

I felt something inside my skull slip, as if a gear had skipped a tooth.

"An Archetype that is not to be understood, existing beyond the realm of language, if anything that is the closest thing of what we are, that I can tell you. We are not limited to the semantics, of any kind."

It was when I understood the depth of her benevolency, she was truly the most merciful god to a bug that I ever seen, to not flood me with knowledge, but with a fact of Epistemology, or maybe even something beyond that.

"All creation is absurd, and our 'nature' is simply of not the nature of the words, not only limiting for the comprehension, but also what to define beyond comprehension. For you who 'seeks knowledge', this is the answer I have for you."

It was when I understood, that semantics are meaningless, if we can't use semantics, it also means we can not apply logic, as even the formal form of semantics dissolves...

I understood, the gods were not illogical being defying logic, they were not within a possible logical framework from the start at all, they were simply... beyond such a state, in their truest, most pure form, not of this illusionary form in front of me, neither of that illusionary form I claim this to be an illusion of. They are simply beyond any logical and formal deception and semantics.

She is truly such a kind and merciful god, to give me answer to which can be questioned in such a way, to give me answer through ignorance, while having a form of idiocy by herself, and finding it laughable.

She danced again—

and with each shift of her body, Dreamland changed color, texture, temperature, philosophy.

Her silhouette warped at the edges, dissolving into strands of black and white thread that re-wove themselves every time she spun.

A weaver of contradictions.

A child of paradox.

The kindest executioner.

“Implying we are beyond identity,” she said, “gives us an identity."

"Saying we lack causality makes us merely exempt instead of serving the fact we are even beyond changeless.”

Her smile sharpened like a crescent blade.

“All your words are attempts to chain what is beyond its understanding through semantics. Maybe it works, but in a flawed way, as it leaves shadows such as me. But never what is, by nature, beyond semantics."

She leaned forward, hands behind her back, as if delivering a secret, yet her tone was of such as if it is no secret, merely a fact of obvious:

“We are archetypes not meant for understanding.

We exist where even language can't reach to describe its incomprehensiblity for you."

The world around us slowed.

Stopped.

Held its breath.

And in that stillness I realized it was not knowledge she offered—

but mercy.

The mercy of showing me the borders of thought rather than what lay beyond them.

Because whatever existed beyond?

It was not meant for minds with neurons and bones and fear.

Dreamland resumed breathing.

The girl walked ahead, humming again.

As she did, the sky peeled open like a book, revealing pages of fractal constellations.

I followed her.

Not because I understood.

But because I understood that I could not.

And that was the first true lesson she had ever given me.
