Function(s): Piphion resides in a subsection of the Celestial Realm. It is officially referred to as "Avalon", but has many names like "The Region of Stardust" or "The Glowing City". It can only be described as a region in a perpetual state of light and glitter. Sparkling clouds of gold, streaks of yellow and amber in the sky, light sculptures resembling trees and beauteous skyscraper-like temples, and a race of "light people", although not living, but are in a perpetual state of stillness and calm, like a statue, radiating a shade of yellowish-white. They have their own individual thoughts and instincts, but are restricted from any form of movement. Piphion, nor his realm do not combat anyone, unless there is genuine reason they pose a threat to creation (more on that in history). Piphion possesses the ability of Cosmic Manipulation to its extreme, yet rarely uses any of his grandest powers unless for demonstration, tours, or another one of his journeys. He often times relies on his power of levitation to glide through space, and his wings for atmospheric conditions. His favorite element is 'Neon', one of his personal additions to the Periodic Table of Elements. Piphion's religion,
"The Cult of Piphion" is now widespread over mortal realms and galaxies, and accepted as fact. Although polytheistic and accepts the presence of every other god in the multiverse, it prioritizes Piphion as the most worthy. It is also the most peaceful of worship at the time, refraining from sacrifice and instead offers via a state of meditation, mindfulness, and partaking in nonviolence. Such a religion prioritizing outer space is partially responsible for the mortal's advancements in the field of astronomy and the development of later, non-worship ways of life.
Appearance and attributes: Piphion is remarkably short for any prophet, at five feet ten inches tall. It is said in his creation that he was hundreds of thousands of feet tall, but that energy was released upon his awakening. However, he can control his height at will via cosmic manipulation. His skin is otherworldly; in laymans terms, it is comprised of a galaxy. Pitch black base, and filled nearly to the brim with colorful designs of stars and planets, orbiting around them like his body in itself is a dimension filled with living, active celestial bodies. He can extract or add them at will. That being said, he is truly mesmerizing to look at. His figure is remarkably feminine for a male, like a twink, but he is generally more supple. He has glowing white eyes, devoid of any pupils or irises-- just a complete blank slate. His face is feminine in itself, with periwinkle lips and midnight blue dimples. He has dark blue, medium length and wavy hair, and dark purple wings that span 6 feet, although tinted purple, provide a somewhat transparent view of his galaxies. Piphion does not wear any clothing, in favor of being the way he was created. It's not like with his skin type anything would be exposed, it would all look too uniform. He is generally eye candy, but somehow only for men. As stated before, he radiates serenity, and unless one is truly evil or that stuck up and resilient, many would feel generally comforted around him. He declines any spiritual animals, deeming the universe too broad to pick. He does not take any form. He has no artifacts to speak of.
History and background: Piphion was the solution, at first, to the nothingness. He was originally nothing, yet also everything. He was one of the more prominent Elder Gods, beloved by all, caring for and nurturing them in an unbreakable embrace like a binary star. Originally content with the nothingness, his long-cherished gods grew more and more influence on him. Piphion was a being of love, a being that radiated tranquility. Many claim that Piphion confided in silence for eons on end, debating whether or not to contribute to the creation. However, one day, he had an awakening. A spiritual enlightenment shook him to his very core; one that even gods could not themselves begin to comprehend. After millions of years of meditation and silence, his eyes opened. In doing so, he released an unimaginable amount of pure matter, pure energy. It could have been comparable to the big bang, yet it did so much more. The vast nothingness had seen stars, planets, galaxies, nebulas, even things as simple as clouds of hydrogen coming together could form the biggest of stars. Many see Piphion as not Creator, but the one who had laid the base groundwork for the Elder Gods to do their bidding. He was 'mother', he was the enabler. With the materials Piphion provided, Elder Gods used their own ideas to create more elements, more stars, more planets, more organisms. However, Piphion's awakening had a negative side, a counteraction to birthing the universe as we knew it. The release of energy weakened him, pushed him to the brink of destruction. He is no longer omnipresent and infinite as he was. In doing so, some of the Elder Gods even came to forget about their own companion's existence. Piphion, now an individual being, like many of his comrades-- instead of creating more and using his power, was amazed and intrigued by his own work. His physical form had changed greatly, once a manifestation of the void-- now a manifestation of creation. While Elder Gods built things more complex than Piphion himself could even imagine, the Younger Gods also came into existence. Piphion was set into a journey of infinity. For endless trillions of years, he explored every corner of the universe, duly noting every detail and nurturing it as if it were his child. He saw creation as precious now, something that is more beautiful than even he could put into words. Even if he was tremendously weakened, he was proud for all that even the simplest of organisms could accomplish.
Once his journey was complete, he set forth to the Elder Gods to explain his findings. His old friends embraced him, after all this time of separation in an emotional reunion. Younger Gods began learning from his presence; the man who had been referred to only in absolute legend was here. Their mother, their home, their binary. It was in this time Piphion began finding the feeling of Serenity (by his standards a perpetual, nearly fatal calmness) to be most important. He was the being who radiated such tranquility, after all. Being a figure of such creation, Piphion did not partake in disputes or conflicts, seeing himself as a force that should not be swayed, or his state as an eternal companion would be shattered. Instead, he began teaching his own outlook in the universe to the Younger Gods, hereby referred to as 'Cosmic Mindfulness'. In itself, it is a philosophy that mandates there are equal forces of nothing and everything, good and evil, white and black, water and fire. One would never overpower the other. Balance is to be maintained or their entire universe would dissipate. Piphion served as a mentor, a guiding figure to elder and young alike, and is often the one to confide in for most honest and truthful answers. By the time mortals became autonomous and prevalent, texts given by the gods mentioned Piphion's existence and his feats. Among mortals started an intergalactic religious movement as more and more evidence came to surface of Piphion's involvement and existence. Nowadays, Piphion resides in a subdimension of the Celestial Realm. It is officially referred to as "Avalon", but has many names like "The Region of Stardust" or "The Glowing City". It can only be described as a region in a perpetual state of light and glitter. Sparkling clouds of gold, streaks of yellow and amber in the sky, light sculptures resembling trees and beauteous skyscraper-like temples, and a race of "light people", although not living, but are in a perpetual state of stillness and calm, like a statue, radiating a shade of yellowish-white. Piphion can by no means create on the scale he used to, and is only limited to one small creation at a time, such as a star system or a new format of elements. However, he much rather travel what he has already made, and interact with the other gods around him, rather than use his cosmic power to wreak havoc or seize/abuse power. He prefers to spread serenity and share his cosmic outlook on life in discussion rather than partake in battles. He is also quite active in his romantic life, oftentimes approaching other male gods around him. Due to his sexuality, he has no children-- and is currently looking for a soulmate.
Personality: Piphion is a being of great care, and is an extrovert. His stance on mindfulness and serenity very much affect his everyday life. He views all beings as equally meritable, and worth love. He is generally flamboyant, yet incredibly restricting on how much he portrays himself in favor of himself as a 'mother-like' figure. Creator of calmness, he is a non-violent person, and often confides in crying or meditation whenever he is emotional. In some cultures where precipitation is rare and Piphion's faith is widespread, rain is seen as Piphion's tears, due to their extensive length and power, yet no destructive capability, the release of bottled up emotions. In some cultures, Piphion has created musical harmony, where music prior to creation was of one part- music can now be thousands of parts playing at once to accomplish beauty. That being said, Piphion partakes to music and art, especially when dealing with harmony. From the best orchestra playing the most glorious music to the pitter patter of rain, harmony is omnipresent.
Other: Piphion often visits the Underworld, and is held in high merit even in such a opposite place.
RP samples: Anniversary of Korean Revolutionary Liberation Army Youth Corps celebrated
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mg2C2BvDZHk(via KCNA narration)
"October 16th, 1938 was the foundation of the first child soldier branch of the KRLA. Consisting of 427 guerrillas at its absolute peak, the corps saw battle for Mangyongdae, Pyongyang, Hamhung, and even Hanseong at the end of the war-- fighting both merciless Chinese-funded Korean Empire, and the barbaric predecessors to the devilish South Korean Government for the long-regarded historical 'Center of Korea' before Pyongyang's promotion to capital status. Post revolution, the group went under the same name, accumulating 20,000 voluntary guerrillas to take part in the Victorious Fatherland Unification War (WC's version of Korean War). The Youth Corps was with the Korean People the full extent, from the border villages to the final flag-raising over Busan. The Youth Corps, one of nearly 30 of the now retired KRLA was temporarily disbanded post-reunification. However, under the Great Leader, comrade Kim Jong-Il, the group saw recreation, under the same name to preserve historical context. Using modern recreations of their old uniforms, and the sacred red necktie that all Korean children wear to their classes, the group was promoted to youth paramilitary wing in Juche 106 (2017) under Kim Seyong-Taek's first month of glorious rule. Now encompassing 62,000 voluntary young patriots, the KLRAYC is the largest youth paramilitary wing in Korea, out of 370 national, provincial, local, and village-level groups. The anniversary of the foundation of the KLRAYC day, or otherwise known as 'Youth Corps Day', is a small holiday dedicated to the sacrifice of the youth to both liberate and unify Korea alongside their parents and friends. To celebrate, parents are let off work 2 hours early, and children, 1 and-a-half. At school, teachers provide youth with special courses on the history of the Korean Civil War, and allow the students to watch animated recreations of their bold sacrifice, such as the Battle of Miryantaek Island, where a class of 20 students defended their tiny island with only two artillery guns and bolt action rifles from a coalition force of Joseon Dynasty and unified Capitalist Korean navies, and lived through with no casualties. Children accept bags of candies, and go on a field trip to the Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery in Pyongyang, to pay respects to those fallen. After school ends, members of the KLRAYC are taken on a march through their local city, sometimes as small as 5 volunteers in the small town of Kiyongsong, or 10,000 in Pyongyang. Parading with rifles and horses, Korean Children are given a day to relive their history, and embrace each other in the cultural beauty of the Juche Ideology. Korean Families often pay their respects to statues of the late leaders, partake in mass dances, or play concerts using authentic Korean instruments. The pride and spirit of the Korean nation will never be broken, as the dignity and bravery of Eternal President Kim Il-Sung, Eternal Comrade Kim Jong-Suk, and their liberation-army remains invincible."
