Eye of the Storm: Champions of the Gods

Tag, thinking of creating a sun deity and their champion.

[Great Confederacy of Commonwealth States]

A work in progress: Alaine is the Guardian of the Unchanging Past and the Lady of Seers, a trickster goddess of time whose prime motivation is to know the past and keep the future hidden. She is the Lord of Archives and Lady of Seers, and patron of honest betting.

I'm honestly quite proud of her, will update as the day progresses.

Vids, reading your app: I think Sakaal and Alaine would be good friends, seeing as they both have a habit of recording (though Sakaal seems more chill with lettings things be forgotten than Alaine, who is dreadfully afraid of oblivion).


God app
Name: Alaine
Aliases: The (Great) Ferrier, Lord of Archives and Lady of Seers, Guardian of the Unchanging Past, Queen Dice
Age: Not quite as old as time itself. In the Very Beginning, when the world was created, the past was uncertain and the future could be forged, leading to the Tyranny Eternal. Alaine was created to claim dominion over time, and her first act was to destroy the Tyrants.
Gender: Male pronouns when in his past form, female pronouns when in her present and future form. She is, he was, and she will be. Depictions of her are usually made in her female form, but no matter the artform, the depictions will shift slowly to an old, beardless man. Many of the oldest temples bear the depictions in which he looks the oldest.
Sexual/Romantic Orientation: Demiromantic, demisexual. It just takes time.
Appearance:

(Image)

Domain: She is Time: the unchanging past and the ever-fluid future; he seeks to increase knowledge about the world's past, and she is a trickster trying to humble all those who think the future is predictable. She is also the goddess of betting games, and rigging a bet is one of the sure ways to unleash her anger.
Godly Family: The Chthonians
Personality: Alaine likes to be both known, and to be unpredictable. She is the keeper of the Divine Archives and makes a record of all things that have happened, and as such, as a very reliable source on the happenings of the world, at least those that are known to the Gods and that have been offered up to her archives. She can only answer questions about the past truthfully, and cares deeply about knowledge of the past, being the record-keeper of the divine. However, when dealing with the future, she is highly unpredictable, and very much a trickters. She scoffs at those who think they are clever enough to know the passage of time, as not even she can truly see the future; she can only infer it from his archives. That arrogance can sollicit an angry response from her, and she is known to trick mortals into performing unexpected actions or placing all their faith in a bet.

Alaine suffers, though, from creeping uncertainties. She has an incredibly confident air, but her biggest regret is not being one of the Elder Gods, who witnessed all creation. She existed then, as time, without a will and a consience of her own. She can still remember tidbits, but they are hazy, and especially their chronology makes little sense, which she finds enfuriating. She knows that, as Goddess of Time, she is among the most important, but being an afterthought of creation really brings down her confidence.
Bio:
Powers/Abilities: To explain the powers in her divine form would stray the ability of human language to convey abstract thought. As the embodiment of Time, not just a Guardian, but a manifestation of the passage of Time, Alaine has powers that are too strange for comprehension. In her mortal form, Alaine has the knowledge of the Divine Archive at her disposal; any event or occurance in the past that has been recorded and is not under the protection of the Whispers she knows. She can also see things that could happen in the future; not with great clarity, as the future of time is uncertain even to the Gods, but she can see which events are likely to play out, and which are less likely. This is less a power and more the consequence of great knowledge and experience. She also, theoretically, has the power to change the past in some ways, but she finds the idea morally repugnant, and it would also be physically destructive, not just for herself but for the entire world. As such, she will never, ever use that power, which makes it purely theoretical. She can also sense cheating in betting games, a very specific power of hers.

Her memory of the Old Worlds, every world before the renewal, is also unrivalled among her fellow deities, which means she can tell stories of worlds long forgotten and destroyed.
Strengths: Alaine is probably the most knowledgeble about history of all the gods, and her ability to guess the future of events is also quite powerful. She is supremely clever, and very willing to give good advice.
Weaknesses: She is none to keen to actually involve herself in world affairs much. She is time, yes, but she is far more interested in seeing how events will play out rather than actively fixing any wrongs. She is mostly an observer, and somewhat of a trickster. That trickster-nature also makes her somewhat of a pariah within divine circles, as more than once her tricks have caused great pains for followers of a certain divinity. Her inability to tell lies about the past is also a drawback, especially for a trickster goddess, but she makes do.
Goals: To observe, to see the whole of time and history play out, and to ensure the Past stays the Past and the Future remains unknown. The finds the idea of any cyclical history to be revolting.

I'd assume they'd have a rivalry with my moon deity? That, or a marriage, as was often the case in various mythologies. Or both, I guess.

-Snipped-

I notice you've added that Alaine hates the idea of cyclical history? Considering Sakaal's dying-and-rising moon serpent/ouroboros/cycle of time/life, death and rebirth theme, I guess there might be a point of contention there.

[Ceystile]

Common, your app looks great but you just have to write a quick bio and we'll be good to go.

I actually have an idea of making a fourth character myself, a goddess of nightmares. But she's less an evil witch and more a badly behaved child

Ohhh yes, I forgot! Will add tomorrow, then.


I like the idea of taking Gods and giving their domain a different spin. So, like nightmares not being evil, but being the actions of a misbehaving child. That would be awesome.

I've been imagining that a deity of nightmares could have some sort of rivalry with Sakaal, and there's a sort of constant battle between his Dreamrealm and that deity's Nightmare Realm.

I can see that, I'm guessing she'd be jealous of Sakaal being so beloved. This deity was created as a counterweight to maintain balance, because where there's light there has to be darkness and so Chaos created her with a task to fulfill, not necessarily as a beloved child.

And I think so, yes... Alaine is curious, and doesn’t want things to happen the same way twice. It’s against her idea of an unknowable future, and some of her tricks are meant to break cycles.

Still hashing out their personality but I'll get back to you on that.

[Ceystile]

I dunno, I have a lot of ideas for deities, but of course I'm also leaving some to players. But I'm only making one more character as four is my limit In addition to the nightmare goddess, I have an idea of creating the god of music (unless somebody else wants to) bcuz Cicero is their champion, after all...it would make sense story wise.

And a party god would also be fun, I mean who doesn't love Dionysus?

Makes sense. I suppose she'd have a sort of spiteful/vengeful and jealous hatred towards Sakaal? Depends how far her resentment goes, I guess. Could even go as far as secretly harbouring the desire to absorb the Dreamrealm into the Nightmare Realm (or not) or just being satisfied with constantly fighting his Dreamrealm and trying to impede him/cause trouble for him.

A goddess who wants to break cycles versus a god of cycles, eh? I can definitely see some conflict there.

Reminds me, Dionysus had a bit of a sinister side to him as well. Thinking of those maenads/female followers of his who had a habit of going mental and tearing people apart with their bare hands, with their most famous victim being Orpheus.

[Ceystile]

I don't imagine this nightmare goddess to be evil, she's more like a Loki or Peter Pan (original stories) type figure. Mostly she creates mischief merely for the sake of mischief, she's acting out for attention and just wants to be noticed. Lanme was one of the few deities who was nice to her, so of course she wants to help find her. Also horses and the sea have some sort of connection, and the goddess of nightmares is also the goddess of horses. One of the forms she takes is a black, shadowy spectral horse (a night-mare)

[Ceystile]

I love all my characters to bits but my favorite is Thorn, he's just so fun and I love him (also a bit irreverent)

So I guess she'd be more of a troll than a malevolent goddess, then? Of course with the example of Loki, he ends up going too far with his schemes (possibly with a bit of jealousy mixed in with his usual mischievous nature) and ends up killing Baldr, then later on he joins the jotnar/giants in Ragnarok against the gods, and he and Heimdall kill each other. I suppose looking from that example there's a risk of mischief and trolling getting out of hand.

[Ceystile]

Yeah, that would pretty much sum her up...she's doing her job and isn't particularly happy with it, but she's bored and lonely and it would be the only thing she's good at really. I wonder how I would work her into the story if I got her app up though.

Tom and I decided we'd have a sea monster attack at the beginning so I opened that up with my recent post. Would Sakaal be a direct player in this or would he just mostly be chilling behind the scenes and doing his own thing?

[Ceystile]

Hey y’all, sea monster attack going down at the beach

[Nea Videssos]

I'll cook up a post in the IC tomorrow. Got distracted today, and yesterday I spent most of the day trying to fix my computer. But yeah, as for that question about Sakaal, I was thinking of my introduction post first having Sakaal be somewhere else (probably a temple or something) and basically be him coming over and showing up at the beach.

No prob, and I completely understand having computer issues.

I added the bio!

[Guuj Xaat Kil]

Name: Gaalke
Aliases: There is no aliases for Gaalke for mortals to know, it is unknown. As for deities, the thing would be called the Paradox, for its apparent gain of faith by having no one believe that it exists, by staying unknown. It is also called the Thing.
Age: Either the oldest or the youngest deity, depending on who you're asking.
Gender: None
Sexual/Romantic Orientation: Asexual
Appearance: It goes unwillingly
Domain(s): The Unknown, and to a lesser extent, unbelief.
Godly Family: Chthonian(?)
Personality: The thing that is Gaalke is known to be quite the unpredictable deity, and yet, there are a few things that make it predictable than most unpredictable beings, such as its immense desire to be left unknown by mortals, to the point of murdering others and even champions if need be; its near-permanent presence in areas with little to no human habitation; its habit of leaving behind "displays" with little evidence of it doing said display; and its cyclical hunt of whatever will cause the most fear during religious celebrations. It has some reasoning, somewhat childish, but reasoning nonetheless, that if it does nothing that warrants a smiting from the gods, it will be more or less left alone as a mere footnote and considered nothing but a nuisance. And it follows this reasoning religiously, taking care to not do anything drastic. Despite this seemingly childish line of thought, if a deity were to simply go to it and talk to it, it would find what seems to be a being shaped by the thoughts and emotions that man has had of the unknown. Unsurprisingly, the thing has no ambitions for greater power, content on living as is and correcting threats to its existence.
Bio: Less so a deity and more of an extremely powerful and parasitic entity of sorts. It seems to have risen to that status by filling in the domain of that which is truly unknown, becoming its god. Thanks to these technicalities, it will always exist in its fully powered form in the mortal realm, but in order to do so, must never interact with mortals directly lest they know it and its name.

Since the beginning, there has always been an unknown. It first began when the concept of the other was still something that was not known, as Chaos was all there was, the single being in all of existence, thus an other was virtually unknown to him. And then the deities were born, and the cycles began, that was when Gaalke began to mature. Its first form being nothing of note, mere vague footnotes of footnotes that deities at first would ignore. But at mortals began to proliferate and become prevalent, and that the gods had begun noticing the thing feeding and simply cut its supply of power by realizing it exists, the thing had sought and found a better source of indirect faith to feed upon; that is, the unknown to men. Initially weakened to the point of near-death by the mere belief of deities in it, it soon recovered though subsisting on the unknown, and the emotions aimed at the unknown that man had. Fear appeared to be the most filling.

And so it existed on and on throughout the cycles, growing stronger with each one, but never past the strongest deities. Content on merely existing, it stayed like this for countless cycles, subsisting on what was not known to men like how a filter feeder subsists on krill. That is, until the present cycle. The Sèt-Lanmè from existence thanks to unknown causes seems to have caused its power to seemingly skyrocket to the point of nearly being on par with the strongest. As expected, Gaalke has began moving to correct this in order to restore the balance of power and secure its existence.

Powers/Abilities: The ability to know if it is known, the ability to move instantaneously through the unknown (areas with no mortals (such as the deep woods, deserts, abandoned places, etc.), in which it can move unimpeded), the ability to erase knowledge of it en masse, and the ability to erase the memory of it from mortals.
Strengths: TBD, none for now just to be safe.
Weaknesses: Simply making many people know its name is enough to maim it, most likely mortally as well; its like pouring salt on a snail.
Goals: Correct the unknown that is the disappearance of Sèt-Lanmè in order to contain its power and secure its existence.

Bio: Time was monstrous, before the taming of Father Chaos. It had no beginning, nor did it have an end, and it knew no direction. It lashed out, creating that which was destroyed and rendering to nothing things that were created. The Beast of Time, the Oblivion Drake, was a primordial monstrosity and avatar of the Chaos. It had to be tamed before the act of creation could begin. So, like the Gods after him tamed the elements, and like the humans after them tamed beasts of burden, so too did Father Chaos tame the Drake Oblivion; before it had been like a raging ocean, without direction and form, going to and fro where it willed. After, however, Father Chaos turned time into a stream, in which effect would always follow cause. This stream allowed him to create, to flow his essence into the new Gods on the back of the Time Stream.

During the First World, however, when all the Gods first learned to create, the Flow of Time was fickle and unpredictable. The future could be set in stone and the past still flowed; civilisations would appear out of nowhere and empires would fall in the blink of an eye; whole armies laid to ruin because of the disappearance of historical figures; whole mountains crumbling because a past river chose to go right instead of left. During this First World, the Tyrants Temporal ruled; powerful mages that used the raw strength of early magic to bend time itself, which had no will anymore to resist it. Dissidents disappeared from time altogether, and vast hoards of wealth were created out of nothingness. The Tyrants Temporal saw themselves as gods, and ruled their empires with divine certainy, destroying countless lives in bids to destroy their counterparts.

It was at the tail end of the First World that the Gods came together and unshackled the consciousness of the Drake Temporal; they gave her a conscience, and a will of her own, and called her Alaine, the God of Time. Hers was the task to record the part and keep it stable, and make sure the future stayed in flux, ever-unpredictable. After they set her loose upon the world, the new trickster-goddess of time laid the Tyrants Temporal to ruin; single whispers leading to the sundering of their great halls, and rumours turning their vast armies against them. After all of them had been slain or banished, the gods began construction on the Second World, from which point Alaine would be the Goddess of Time.

Alaine has been a frequent traveller of the Earth, probably spending the least amount of time in her divine form of all the Gods. She likes to see the world from up close, to travel it, and to experience time itself; for it is in experiencing time that she experiences herself. And, in her mortal form, she can be the trickster goddess she was always meant to be, directly influencing the affairs of the mortal world. This has led to her worship becomming somewhat diffuse over time. Some revere and fear her as her primordial form, as the Oblivion Drake which will one day sunder the world once more. Some see her as the guardian of time and the Great Ferrier, moving the world across the stream of time from one place to the other. Yet others see her as a demon, set on causing mischief and whispering lies in those gullible enough to believe her. There are those cults who believe her to be the God to bring about the end-times, waiting for her to unleashe her 'true form', not knowing that it is that true form that she despises the most. Knowing that she was, at once time, the Primordial Beast of Chaos, brings much uncertainty with it, especially since she was not among the earliest of the Gods.

At the moment, she is intregued by the disappearance of her colleague, goddess of the sea. She is tagging along with the group merely because it interests her, and because the disappearance of a god is certainly unforseen. She likes to keep tabs on things; she likes the sea goddess, but at the same time, her disappearance would bring a lovely unpredictability to the future, and seeing how humans deal with the death of the oceans themselves would be interesting. Although, Alaine does really care about her sister-goddess, especially since her absence hurts Tempest so much, and she might be inclined to help defeat the wizards, although her uncertainty about her convictions only add to her insecurities.
Powers/Abilities: To explain the powers in her divine form would stray the ability of human language to convey abstract thought. As the embodiment of Time, not just a Guardian, but a manifestation of the passage of Time, Alaine has powers that are too strange for comprehension. In her mortal form, Alaine has the knowledge of the Divine Archive at her disposal; any event or occurance in the past that has been recorded and is not under the protection of the Whispers she knows. She can also see things that could happen in the future; not with great clarity, as the future of time is uncertain even to the Gods, but she can see which events are likely to play out, and which are less likely.

Bit of a WIP

Name: Ezkila
Aliases: Lady Justice, Keeper of the Scales, Judge of the Dead, The Unseeing.
Age: As old as human civilization (as far as anyone knows)
Gender: Female
Sexual/Romantic Orientation (optional): Straight
Appearance: Like all gods, she can take any form she wishes but her most favored form is that of a brown-skinned young woman with silver hair curled in the style of a judge's wig, and dark eyes, clad in modified judicial robes. Basically wearing this costume:

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/id5/images/3/32/JudgeDesignNotes3.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20201228114641

and she is blind to represent Justice's impartiality.

Domain(s) (what are you the god of?): Justice, judgement, order, law and balance
Godly Family: The Whispers
Personality: Ez is all about fair judgement and making sure that the sentence fits the crime. She's devoted to maintaining the order of law and the balance of the scales, and as such she tends to look at things from an objective point of view, preferring to analyze a situation from all angles before jumping in. She's a pretty calm and rational person, almost like a mom or an aunt that you feel safe talking to and getting advice from, but she can get REAL heated when it comes to justice, sometimes almost fanatical in the pursuit of it. She feels a sense of responsibility to the gods and men under her charge, and is a loving person to those closest to her,

Bio (at least one and a half paragraphs): Ezkila is the judge that presides over the court of gods and men, judging gods when they've been accused of crimes and judging the souls of men when they die, weighing their sins against their virtues and sentencing them to whatever afterlife they warrant. Some say she was born when the first human civilizations formed and they discovered their own forms of judgement, others say she was created by Father Chaos as an arbiter of impartial justice among the titan powers of the gods in order to keep the balance in check. She rules her courtroom with an iron fist, presiding over cases ranging from where a soul ends up after death to settling disputes between the gods, she's the arbiter of Chaos' justice. They say if Ez wasn't happily married already, she'd be married to her job and when she's not in the courtroom or at a divine gathering, she could be seen with her husband and seven children.
She happily did her job for millennia until the goddess of the sea was kidnapped

Powers/Abilities: She wields the sword of justice, a divine-forged rapier that is said to burn on contact with sinners, and is able to create small seismic shocks with her gavel, that can change size to become like a war hammer. Since she's blind she basically has to navigate the world with the help of her ravens, whom she's rarely seen without.
