Inhuman of The Day

March 20th - Diyyen

An Inhuman of the secret city-state of Utolan and the father of Flint.   The Inhumans of Utolan left Old Attilan centuries ago over philosophical differences regarding the practices of Terrigenesis.  Traveling half a world away, these Inhumans settled in the remote mountains of Mozambique where they built the city of Utolan and prospered there for many generations. Unfortunately, centuries of living in isolation had caused the citizens of Utolan to become homogeneous in terms of their genetic composition and this has somehow caused the populace to be especially vulnerable to the negative effects of Terrigenesis.  Over time, it came to be that exposure to the Terrigen Mists was fatal for the majority of the citizens of Utolan.  And yet, Terrigenesis was still viewed as a central, guiding tenet of their religion, philosophy, and culture.  

Desperate for a solution, the leaders of Utolan turned to the pseudo-science of eugenics, trying to match bloodlines in a way that would produce offspring who could survive the transformative effects of Terrigenesis.   This project ultimately failed and the people of Utolan would go about determining who could and could not survive Terrigenesis by way of a cruel and dangerous process: a couple’s first born child would be exposed to the mists, if that child perished then their second child would be spared the mist, but if their child survived then their second child would also be exposed to Terrigenesis.  

These individuals who survived Terrigenesis were dubbed the cities ‘Champions’ and acted as the protectors of Utolan.  Whereas the city itself was ruled by the Council of Elders.  

Diyyen had been a citizen of Utolan.  He fell in love with a woman named Irelli and the two mated without the Council of Elder’s consent.  They had a daughter whom they named Ikelli.  Due to the fact that their union was not sanctioned by the Council, it was determined that Ikelli would not be subjected to the Terrigen Mists.  When Irellis became pregnant with their second child, however, it was determined that this second child, Jaycen (who would later go by the name Flint) would be forced to go through Terrigenesis.   

Diyyen’s own brother had perished when subjected to the Terrigen Mists and the idea of his son’s being forced to go through this was a terrible prospect for Diyyen.  He ultimately chose to abscond away with his son.  They ultimately ended up in America where Flint was placed in the care of his adoptive parents in Minnesota.   When Diyyen attempted to return to Utolan for his daughter he was killed for his treachery.  Flint learned of his father’s fate when he finally met his mother and was told the tale of his birth family.
