tentative headcanons for my worldbuilding mess of a lore rewrite, but some ideas i’ve been thinking for primevals:
primevals are separated into two categories: the trueborn and the ascended.
trueborn primevals all have an identical mark somewhere in their physical vessel from the day they manifest. let’s say it’s a ‘birthmark’ of sorts (e.g: davoth has one on his back)
ascended primevals lack that mark because of their mortal origins. doomguy/doom slayer is a prime example of this, and to an extent, adds a sense to why marauders say that doomguy is ‘but a false idol’
dominance is in the nature of primevals, but it is a matter of how they make use of it. some revel in it to the point they become reckless and cruel. there are those who have self-control though, and not let it get to their heads too much. this contrasting dichotomy, of course, is bound to cause conflict across stars. the desire of dominance is one of the main reasons a primeval falls corrupted
there are primevals who look identical to each other, but most are unique in the appearance they take when they come to be
primevals either start with an existing world to fill with their creations OR make their own from scratch
they can shapeshift. some use this more than others
primevals are often either celibate or are engaged in intimate relationships without the involvement of carnal desires. those who do get involved though tend to carry their dominance well into this specific behavior
these folks are immortal, but can be exiled from influence in the world they rule by killing them in a duel. only one of their kind, or someone even more powerful can kill them. Worlds once ruled are orphaned following the loss of control from the slain primeval, and depending on how their realms work, their deaths can affect their subjects too.
primevals have one main world each (though there is a possibility for the same world to have two at a time naturally), and they can choose to expand their territories by colonizing other worlds or creating more on their own. attempts to colonize another primeval’s realm under their charge by one of their own is considered territorial contest and can escalate into inter-dimensional wars
