I will, but I'm going to wait for a solid surface to form for the Serpents to breath life onto.

Name : Amongst the elves he is known as Barathon the wise.

Domain : 100% divinity.

Personality : The complexity to his character will grow over time as more and more things happen. For right now he is a pondering question asker. He has many questions on the origin of the universe and how he came to be. Suffice to say that he is currently very timid and careful about everything, having just came into this world recently he is wise enough to know that he knows little else besides that he knows little. He is a god that loves learning new things and one supposes he might later be called a god of learning and wisdom.

He hates things done to him against his will, hence his name in Elvish meaning strong willed. This might later lead to him being known as a god of rebellion depending on how history goes down, he is FIERCELY against the feeling of being dominated by another and this has already began to shape his personality. It seems that despite his temper he has also recently gained a heart that loves peace and hates bloodshed. He seems to have recently grown a liking of diplomacy and talking things out in a polite and civilized manner.

Appearances : At this current moment he is essentially the first Half-Elf in appearance. Basically a hot hoomie with carmel skin. An athletically fit guy of muscles and dark hair and eyes. He's 6 feet tall and is very handsome. He does retain Elvish ears though. I'd put in an image but he doesn't really have clothes yet so... Yeah. Manly guy.

Other/updates : In a momentary lapse of judgement, The Deep One had dragged him along on some endeavor of conflict. This action had no malicious intent behind it certainly. But it awoke a deep part of him. In a torrent of blinding anger his spirit's fury became a physically destructive force that started a forest fire on some island somewhere in the mortal realm. So far this tell us little but it may just very well be the pivotal moment in all his existence. It turns out... He doesn't very much like it when he's made to do something without his consent. What will become of this has yet to be revealed. Eventually a calling from a solar deity was able to snap him out of his fury and bring him back to sense. After properly surveying his surroundings he noticed all the destruction he had caused in his anger and regretted losing his temper. He learned on that day a very important lesson on controlling one's feelings. He learned self restraint on that day.

He went to live with the High Elves for some time and learned a lot from them. He engaged in an exchange of knowledge and wisdom with them and did much to earn the favor of the High Elves. The Elves taught him much and that included knowledge of corporeal shells and love. He learned of gender and physical sensation as well as clothing. It was there that he was finally granted a spoken name. In the Elvish language he was named Barathon the wise. Barathon means strong willed. It was there amongst the Elves that he constructed a new shell for his being's appearance, taking on some Elvish characteristics as well as human ones. With acts such as the invention of trousers, Barathon had begun his first steps into influencing mortal cultures. He taught the elves much and they had begun revering him some time soon.

During his time with the Elves he began to perform miracles and favors for the local people in exchange for presents. Soon enough these favor exchanges became known as prayers and offerings which he found strengthened him for some reason. He soon became the first god to direct a formal and well organized religion for himself and the Elves began doing this for him such as building temples and shrines.

The Elvish settlement he had been taking residence in had been attacked by humans and he experienced among his first instances of true sorrow as a being. He wanted to find out why the humans had acted the way they had and resolved to travel to the human settlements and learn of their ways of life so that he may understand them better. We have yet to find out what was to become of this. By this time he had influenced Elvish culture in a way that he had taught them valuable concepts such as that of humility. He has also made the monumental milestone of writing a book of some of his divine wisdoms and teachings, allowing scribes to copy and redistribute them.

Nagy farm as replied to your character, two gods are discussing their different visions of death's place in the universe. There are other conversations being had about what the laws of nature should be and other discussions regarding their shared creation to be. At least one new being has come into the world and revealed themselves. One of them being mine own. Plans are being made on how the world will look like.

Right maybe it’s time to invent writing so I can become the bookeeper of the goods, or maybe I should just wait until sentients are around

Even an omniscient god needs somewhere to write things down.

Or at least, someone to act as a devil's advocate.

Also, Cavy's got a cruuuush~

Something Hieroglyphic-y.

Iconography.
Shouldn't we figure time first?

Question : Do the gods know about creation draining divine power? If not right away then do they notice anything different about themselves after using up divine energy?

Probably, after some experimentation.

Well, things are growing and dying, but the actual world turning and day and night cycles have yet to be a thing.

If they aren’t already aware of it, they will become aware of it when they create a large amount of stuff.

And as you create the world I would like a vague description so I can map it out for all to see.

by **Dreshand** » Mon Sep 17, 2018 9:34 pm

I shall be the god of generic very vague monsters usually present in Japanese rpgs and Lovecraft spin offs
