Two facts: One, cellular biology is mostly about the proteins. Two, milk is usually the purview of mammals.

There was a time in the distant past when an ocean of milk was churned, together by gods and demons, who later fought for the nectar of immortality produced from their combined effort.

Qupara was one of many things produced from the great churning. Nobody fought for nor claimed him for themselves. Thus he went into the cosmos as his own thing: a singular god-cell of a divine organism, seeking purpose amidst knowledge of both infinity and eternity.

Even after thousands upon thousands upon thousands of human years, he has not forgotten his origins and, more to the point, how dancing in the primordial soup can still yield much that is useful, powerful and, at times, catastrophic.

Some art commissions of my void turtlesona are approaching completion, and with them, fresh lore about him.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do developing and discovering them.

One of the products of the milk-sea churning was an extremely lethal poison, Halahala, which was "neutralized" by a god swallowing it and having it stopped at his throat by his wife, leaving his throat blue. That's some real "Water of Life Agony" energy right there.
