Maldizmus

Maldizimus is the minor Chaos God of Disgust and repulsion. His aspects include rejection, ugliness, descrimination, exclusion, intolerance and all things that inspire disgust and disdain in mortals. Maldizimus is a Chaos god that finds other denizens of the Warp, and mortals revolting. In spite of this he seek mortal followers for two reasons. The first being that he requires them to maintain his existence. The second being that worship of him inevitably leads his mortal followers to misery and isolation, a fact that pleases him to no end.

Maldizimus was born from the feeling of disgust. In essence Maldizimus is the very essence of mortals' tendancies to reject that which is not like them, or that they don't understand. In the 41st millenium intolerance is rampant throughout the galaxy. The Imperium in particular in their narrow mindedness has fuelled Maldizimus. In spite of the fact that the emotion that Maldizimus draws power from is abudant he remains a fairly weak force within the Immaterium. This is because his doctrine results in his mortal followers inevitably turning on one another, and slaughtering each other. Thus permanent cults and warbands devoted to the god are nigh impossible, and infighting between followers of Maldizimus is endemic.

The sacred number of Maldizimus is 4. Colors associated with Maldizimus are black, brown and grey, though any combination of colors deemed ugly can be used to venerate the god. Creatures and objects having to do with this god is are referred to as Maldizimite.

As is appropriate for a god that represents rejection and disgust Maldizimus takes umberage with all the other Chaos Gods. However given his weak status among them the major Chaos Gods pay him little mind. However he holds particular hatred for another minor Chaos God. His rival is Daejitar, the Chaos God of Love and Acceptance. Since Daejitar's doctrine is one of acceptance and belonging it is naturally at odds with a god that promotes discrimination and exclusion.
