-In the beginning, God created the very Universe in which we all dwell. For now, the universe was formless and empty. Engulfed in darknes, stretching into the very depths of the universe, and the holy spirit was hovering over these dark waters- Apep was born of the primordial darkness before Earth was created. Before the stars and the galaxies. He was a result of pure darkness. And he was not alone. Millions of his kind inhabited the empty universe. The waters of darkness was home to these beasts. And they thrived. But then, one day, a flash of light. The first primordial gods entered the universe. But they did not thrive in the darkness. So they created the stars to brighten the empty darkness. -And God said 'Let there be light!', and so there was light. God saw that the light was good, and separated the light from the darkness. God would name the light 'day', and the darkness he weould call 'night'. And there was evening, and there was morning. The first day- But with this light, the dark waters retreated into frozen balls floating around the orbits around the stars. The stars in return, orbiting the center of galaxies who in return orbited the center of the universe. But these floating balls of frozen primordial waters went through a strange metamorphosis. The heat from the sun, melted the crystal ice into a burning hot magma. However, the space was still cold, so the surfaces of these orbs of magma began to cool, and eventually solidified. Alas, not all of these orbs gained a hard crust. Some of the larger orbs began emitting gasses instead. This metamorphosis was devastating to the creatures of the dark. Those who were trapped in the gas giants soon became part of the planets, those too close to the starts charred and dried out, and the ones farthest from the stars froze solid into the ground. However those few who were lucky enough to end up in the soon to be life sustaining planets survived -God said, 'let all waters under the great sky be gathered in special places, and let dry earth emerge from the depths'. And it was so. God called the dry earth 'land', and the gathered waters he would call 'sea'. And God saw that it was good- As these planets began forming, collecting remains of the primordial waters, the creatures of the dark could once again thrive in the depths. But things were harder. And they would be harder yet. For soon the gods created the building blocks of life. Life, the one thing that could threaten the very existance of darkness. The creatures of the dark had to adapt to the new conditions of life. And so they evolved into several branches of beasts. Primordial Titans - Kaijus - Old Gods. Whatever you call them, they have been part of history for longer than anyone can remember. And for millions of years they thrived in the darkness. They went through several trials. But there was one to come, that would once again challange everything.

Mankind.

Mankind, aided by all manner of deities managed to drive the primordial beasts into hiding once more. But one beast would not have it. Apep. He was known as the great serpent of darkness. Apep made an army of unholy creatures of dark. And army which he would use to fight the gods. Alas, his army could only fight in darkness. So the gods created the sundisk. A weapon of incredible power, harnessing the very energy of the stars themselves. And yet, Apep held his ground. But the battle would never be won by either side...

Apep took the form of a great serpent. Next to the world serpent Jörmungandr, Apep was the largest serpent of the Earth. His forms so large, they could stretch a third through the Nile. Although often hiding as a great serpent, beneath the sands, Apep has another form. The Crocodile. A giant reptilian beast. This is his true form.
