The First to Think is He who woke second. He saw a world filled with newborn life, and found it distasteful and ignorant. Among the living, he sought out creatures with the most pleasing of forms, and deemed them most deserving of his attention. He conceived a means to teach mortal beings the intricacies of writing, and the secrets of fire. He cast himself into the flames, and became the spark of inspiration inherent to all sentient beings. From there, creativity and learning blossomed in the world.

The First to Think is a Kami of several forms. He is seen as a wizened old teacher with an endless scroll, a dancing flame, or even a firebird. He is a being of intellect and learning. His followers devote themselves to gathering knowledge, and destroy falsehoods wherever they can. Truth and understanding are paramount to his followers. Among the Original Kami, his gifts of knowledge and inspiration are considered the greatest, second only to life itself.
