The God/Goddess of Progenesis
____________________________________________
The God/Goddess of Progenesis can be seen as a contingency plan to ensure life never dies out across the universe, even under the most catastrophic circumstances. Whenever there is a mass extinction event or a civilization is on the brink, or has destroyed itself, this god coalesces from the ruins, reconstructing itself from the collective remains and debris. As such, The God of Progenesis takes on many forms in it's various reincarnations, but each shares a common attribute in it's ability to create life from death and decay. It is powerful in form and function but peaceful, if not ambivalent, in approach and action.
Once born it wanders the aftermath, be it the decimated fields of war or the scorched plains of a dying planet, sampling and absorbing any particles of matter found. This is the dust of war and destruction, the detritus of the long dead, the cells from rotting flesh of the newly fallen, sparking isotopes and shining specks of machine men, sand from razed civilizations; all is drawn in and reduced to their most basic elemental forms.
It uses a large reactor from within to power turbines and create a gale force vacuum that draws in particulate matter from the surrounding area onto it's collecting plate. In this manner all material is combined: flesh, blood, bone, metal, stone, and crystal. Even simple molecules of protein and energy contribute to the chaotic pot of genetic soup used to manufacture seeds of life inside the God's internal catalyst. Once produced, these seeds travel from the reactor, flow through the body and deposit themselves inside tiny embryonic sacs embedded in the Gods skin. With each seed deposited, a larva forms and will continue to grow until it reaches maturity. Depending on the conditions and manner of genetic material collected via this process, a large selection of races can be created. These larva form alongside one another on the titan's back as they, each in turn, develop a unique evolutionary line.
Beset with this gift the God of Progenisis travels the planets and chasms of space; a timeless beast of burden ferrying new life across the galaxies. Along its journey, the god will deposit these seed races when both conditions of a particular environment and the state of larva are in concurrence. It is in this manner the titan is able to reproduce a vast pantheon of sentient life: behemoths of stone, fantastical beings of light and crackling plasma, cognizant machine races, great floating gaseous beasts, and terrestrial bipedal creatures of flesh and bone, among others.
As miraculous a gift it is, a toll has to be paid by the god. As the the larva grow, finally born to lead their own existence and form consciousness, they take with them a percentage of the precious resources shared between god and progeny. Along its tireless journey, and as countless larva are born, bred, and shed off its back, the titan becomes increasingly weary with each new birth.
After the last embryo sac is formed, and the larva birthed, it's host god is stripped of any remaining nutrients and left with little energy. With the God of Progenisis's task fulfilled, and with its remaining strength, it finds solace on an isolated planet or moon and ends its days a dry husk. As this form of the body dies its essence disperses across the universe and lays dormant, awaiting the eventual apocalyptic event that will trigger its re-awakening. At this inevitable time the God of Progenesis will arise again, forever bound amongst the stars, to begin the cycle anew.
