In the beginning of the universe, shortly after the big bang, all matter was trapped in a state of super hot primordial ooze known as Ichor. This random flowing state of matter contained all the subatomic particles in the universe. Ehgos, the king of the Gods and the first being to exist, used this Ichor to form the universe as we know it. He wielded his limitless knowledge and creative impulses to paint reality using the ichor as his medium.
It was from the Ichor that Ehgos developed physical matter which eventually developed into life. This resulted in the Titans among other creatures. However, as Ehgos continued to create the Ichor was slowly used up until finally there was almost none left. All of the Ichor had been transmuted into physical form. This process took hundreds of thousands of years. A vast sum of time which allowed the Ichor to cool into its current state. Ehgos found that once the Ichor cooled it became very difficult to reverse back into its primordial fluid. The Massive amount of energy required to turn the universe back to its primordial state seemed impossible to expel, even for a god as powerful as Ehgos.
Scientific Explanation
Scientifically, Ichor is a primordial quantum-reactive substrate composed of unstable subatomic particles existing before the formation of matter and physical law. Through divine will and conscious design, Ehgos organized this chaotic medium into stable particles, atoms, elements, and eventually biological life. In this way, Ehgos did not create the universe from nothing, but imposed order upon primordial chaos, transforming possibility into structured reality. In a sense Ehgos found that he had the power to manipulate the quantum fields of reality and was thus able to wield the Ichor to create all that we know today.
Appearance
Ichor is a very bright and colorful fluid that shines with incredible luminescence and reflects light so powerfully that it can blind most living beings who look directly at it. The Fluid also changes color and shape rapidly as the subatomic particles it contains bounce around at the speed of light. From the human eye, when viewed through highly protective lenses, Ichor appears to be a dancing rainbow of light. Many scientist relate it to the northern lights of Alaska, A flaming rainbow, or the surface of the sun when viewed through a kaleidoscope.
Traits
Ichor is a very hot and chaotic substance. Normally, in its natural state it can reach millions of degrees which makes it nearly impossible to contain or wield properly. However, Ichor can be contained in special special energy fields in which it can flow freely. It has properties of fluids in that it forms into whatever container it is held inside however, it also floats freely like a gas. When super cooled Ichor can become a colorful crystalline substance that is highly conductive of electricity. When electrical currents move through the Ichor it becomes very hot and rapidly expands. From the outside this expansion happens to quickly that it appears to be an explosion.
Contemporary Ichor
Traditionally, Ichor is something that could only be manipulated by Ehgos the King of the Gods due to his unique abilities. Once Ichor cools it is very difficult to revert back to its agitated primordial state. Requiring a massive amount of energy or a way to fundamentally manipulate its quantum field (Quantum Weaving) However, in contemporary conflicts between divine beings there have been many such pockets of super heated Ichor left over. Modern, highly funded, scientific organizations have succeeded in harvesting and containing Ichor from the aftermath of these conflicts.
Ichor research is a highly classified practice but, its widely understood that if used correctly Ichor could be fashioned into a Reversion Bomb many times more powerful than a nuclear warhead. A powerful weapon which could be utilized should the gods ever decide to to turn against humanity. As a result many nations collect and store Ichor and it is has become an incredibly valuable substance with a price tag in the billions.
