Holy High: Pax Deorum (OPEN)

[Naval Monte]

Name: Lavinia Vaughan

Pantheon: Cthulhu Mythos

Gender: Female

Domain(s): Chaos, Life, Fertility, Vitality, Nature, Creation

Parents: Shub-Niggurath and a human mother

Age: 18

Appearance: Lavina

Powers: Monster Creation: Lavinia has the power to create a variety of monsters, fiends, other creatures and abominations by taking different materials (organic and non) to create life. These monsters can take on different forms, powers, intelligence and more. Blood is a key ingredient in creating new life but other vital fluids can also be used. The complexity of the creation process can take time for her with the strongest taking hours or even days to complete. Lavinia can use this power to "upgrade" her monsters by giving them new abilities, body parts, personality traits, and more, "downgrade" by removing such parts, to even outright reconstructing them should they be badly damaged or died recently or outright deconstruct living ones to be used as materials to create new life.

Monster Manipulation: Lavinia can manipulate the monsters she can create. These commands can range from having them fight for her, perform civilian duties, to some even performing tasks that are more humorous. However the more intelligent monsters can choose to ignore her commands. Other lifeforms made by Shub-Niggurath can also be controlled by Lavinia. However those created by Shub-Niggurath may refuse to follow orders or even ignore them if their mother delivers their own orders instead.

Monster Summoning: Lavinia can summon monsters that she created or those created by her mother, and banish them when she needs to. The current limit to this power is seven. Attempts to summon beyond her current limits causes her to pass out as eight monsters takes much of her energy. These monsters will remain active even if she was knocked out as she is the only one who can dismiss them. Monsters tied to Shub-Niggurath may decide to follow the desire of the dark mother instead of Lavinia and may leave her if the outer goddess wishes for her dark young to return from where they were previously.

Monster Link: Lavinia has a mental link with her monsters. She can communicate with them, have a telepthic/empathic link with them. This link can allow for her to know where her monsters are and know of their condition. She can even use this power to link her senses to witness events the monsters are perceiving and even take direct control over them if need by. Monsters with stronger minds can resist her attempts at control and even linkage. Should she strength the link and one of her monsters are injured, sick, or perish the shock she would feel would affect her mind and body, with death producing the greatest shock.

Monster Empowerment: Lavinia can increase her powers the more of her monsters or other creations of Shub-Niggurath are present. However she uses this increase to charge up the powers of her monsters to make them more effective as she wishes to avoid direct conflict when possible. This power up not only increase the physical and magical abilities of her monsters but increase the rate of regeneration, resistance/immunity to ailments, and may cause some monsters to undergo a metamorphosis to enter a stronger state so long as they remain empowered.

Monstrous metamorphosis: Lavinia can channel the eldritch powers within her to turn others into monstrous and horrific beings. This power can be temporary or permanent depending on her will, as well as how much of a person's body is changed. The transformation tends to depend largely on the individual in question with her having only small parts to decide what would come from the transformation. This power can affect inanimate objects as her eldritch energy acts as life energy and thus infuse objects with enough life energy to make them become targets for her powers. When applied to herself she can decide freely what she would gain from such changes and how long they will last. However, she is loathe to use this power on herself as she tends to lose control to more alien, primal, instincts that came from her eldritch mother.

Background (At least two paragraphs):

Some years ago a young woman dabbled with the dark arts. From greek curses, ancient necromancy, demonology, to obscure and dark rites forgotten by most. This one wish to command the esoteric forces of the world for her own goals. During such dabbles she would find a grimoire that discuss how one can commune with alien gods who exist beyond time and space. The witch would use the tome of eldritch lore and open a rift from the world of man to one of darkness. From the dark a cloud of shadow and blood would materialize. A great and terrible being known by some cults as a great mother would appear before the witch and the two would form a pact; a pact sealed when the dark goddess impregnated the witch with an offspring.

The meeting of the dark goddess would drive the witch mad even as she carried their unholy offspring. The witch was confided into a psychic ward and when Lavina was born she was taken from her stark raving mad mother and put into foster care. The girl's albino features was a noted oddity and her reclusive and introverted nature could have been ruled out as her being excluded by the other children as must found her too creepy to be around, often sensing something was off with her.

Lavina would be adopted a few times but none ever lasted as families would place the child back in the orphanage due to "peculiar" incidents related to the child. Eventually one family would keep the child, the Vaughans. A family of mortals but ones who like her birth mother dabbled with the occult. They choose to adopt Lavina because of the strange stories and believed she was a child of magic. For years she lived in a life some would find comfortable but often lived under the strict supervision of her adopted family. Her powers would show as she can summon, create, and even destroy her own creations, the latter she often fell into a state of depression for doing.

As she grew would prove to be problematic for her parents as aspects of Shub-Niggurath would emerge, particularly the parts that made it be seen as a fertility goddess by some cultures. Not only did the Vaughans have to deal with Lavina finding people attractive but dealing with hormonal teenagers who sought after their daughter. Yet while hormones were their own set of issues another was her powers as new aspects emerge such as her summoning the monsters made by the Mother of a Thousand Young or her turning others into monsters by accident. Other incidents even had Lavina harm or kill people who tried to take advantage of her, harm her in some way to get rid of competition in term of gaining affection of a desired boy or girl, or try to force themselves upon her for rejecting their advances. In one case she was even almost kidnap by a cult before they met a terrible fate caused by her monsters. Other cases had people disappear because of her monsters or the monsters being let loose and causing havoc where-ever they are. Such incidents forcing the family to move to avoid authorities and monster hunters alike.

These incidents would happen a few times and when information about Holy High found itself way to the Vaughans they were quick in sending Lavina to the institute once she was finished with all normal schooling as they fear that she would expose them to the authorities and even fear that she may eventually begin to take more from her eldritch mother than the human one.

Before anything else, can I ask what time is the present in this world?

About 10-15 years ahead of the current year. We don't have a specific year, but we'd put it around 2034-35. The world is recovering from The Dying, and development depends largely on the city and town.

[Il-Illah]

Name: Gusti Raden Mas Ragatirta (or simply Ragatirta), formerly Adrian Putra Samudra
Pantheon: Javanese
Gender: Male
Domain(s): Sea
Parents: Sri Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Kidul, Queen of the Southern Sea, formerly birthed and raised by a mortal couple
Age: 24
Appearance: Standing up to 180cm tall or around 5'11", he bears the resemblance of almost any young adult male commonly found in his homeland of Java (light brown skin, brown eyes, and black hair), but he has no facial hair whatsoever for someone his age. Were it not for his habit of wearing anything aqua green, which is the color of his queen mother, one would find difficulty in spotting a person so average-looking.
Powers:
Grace of the Southern Sea
Ragatirta, blessed by his new divine mother, has an authority over sea water and all mortal creation that dwells within the Southern Sea. He can control or create seawater at will, but the latter is quite more difficult for him. Aside from that, he can breath and live as normally (as he would on land) in water.

Seawater Mimic
Ragatirta, from the seawater, can create mimics which can either be directly controlled by himself or granted a semblance of thought to move by itself according to orders. His mimic creation can be split into two categories; the Greater Mimic and the Lesser Mimic. The Greater Mimics are powerful seawater mimic of Ragatirta's two original creations from during his mortal period. Creating these require a very convoluted ritual, and so he does not want to make another. They are Baya Putih (White Crocodile) and Ula Ijo (Green Serpent). Meanwhile, the Lesser Mimic is simply a replica of any animal from the sea, and is significantly weaker than the Greater Mimics.

(He with) The Body of Water
Ragatirta's mortal body has long been cast out into the deep and has become a nourishment to all the creatures within. Instead, all of his inner organs are replaced with seawater, with protection from certain illnesses or poison. Through his body of water, he can also choose to dissolve a part of or his whole body and return to his original form at will, rendering most regular physical attacks irrelevant for him. When dissolved, the water that was once his body part can still be moved, although only up to a certain distance.

The World is Your Sea
A simple ability where Ragatirta can fly around as if he's swimming in the water. This allows him to move faster than walking or running.

Hidden Soul
Not risking the death of his heir apparent, the Queen of the Southern Sea has kept the true soul of Ragatirta within a keris (a Javanese blade), hidden in the phantasmic Kraton (Palace) of the Southern Sea. Only by shattering the keris with an adequate amount of supernatural power can Ragatirta truly die, otherwise he will simply be reborn anew from the water of the Southern Sea.

Background (At least two paragraphs):

In the Republic of Indonesia, the Myth War, (or Perang Dedemit as they would call it) ravaged the entire archipelago for many years. Hundreds if not thousands of spirits and divine beings wage war against each other for hegemony, with the heaviest toll being paid by the humans and other mortal creations within. Not content with having the nation divided once again, the central government crafted a plan to ask for the help of a strong force and ordered the rest of the military who haven't defected to the sides of other local gods into supporting them. They looked on, and they struck gold. Along the southern coast of the island of Java, reigned a god-queen so feared by mortals and spiritual beings, that her territory was bereft of any conflict. Her title and name was Sri Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Kidul, or the Queen of the South (Southern Sea).

Then, the central government struck a negotiation with Kanjeng Ratu Kidul, and both found themselves in an agreement. For her support in ending the Myth War and bringing the authority back into the central government, they will acknowledge the territory of the southern Javenese coast and the waters beyond it will be hers to rule in a Special Region equal to a province. And so, in this time where Kanjeng Ratu Kidul began her assault throughout Nusantara, Adrian Putra Samudra was born.

Adrian was born to a well-off family, seeking refuge from the Myth War in Palabuhanratu Regency, where the most devout followers of Kanjeng Ratu Kidul lived until now. At six years old, he survived a long fall from a coconut tree, but at the cost of his legs, which bound him into a wheelchair. Because of this, many of his classmates in elementary school would mock him for his disability, and his parents chose to keep him at home and hired a private tutor. His life was almost bereft of any friends, and he started to pick up drawing as a coping mechanism. Little did young Adrian know, that this hobby would lead to a dark chapter of his life.

Six years later, Adrian was still the loner that he was, only seeing the faces of his parents, his private tutor, or his personal attendant who would help him move around with the wheelchair. He took lessons in math, Indonesian and Javanese language, and the studies of the paranormal. Adrian was mostly interested in the third lesson, often asking his tutors about certain supernatural beings and what they do throughout their lives.

The ongoing Myth War, in particular, drove him to study harder by himself about this specific subject. This passion was reflected in his drawings, where he would draw a white crocodile and a green giant serpent on almost every moment he got, slowly drawing it at a better quality. Seeing his sketches and illustrations drawn throughout the years, the heavily superstitious father believed that he was slowly getting possessed by an unknown spirit who wished to drag his son into becoming its soldier in the Myth War.

After that, the father would bring Adrian along to magicians or shamans, asking them to cure his son from the possession which didn't actually exist. Several of these people already warned him of such, and even his wife had joined in, yet he insisted on his belief. And so, he chose to disown Adrian. The mother begged for the father to keep the child, yet he doubled down by divorcing her as well. Having been told off by someone she truly loved, Adrian's mother died of grief, and this caused severe mental damage to him.

At the edge of his sanity, the now 19 years old Adrian thought to end his own life. He asked one of his old neighbors to drive him somewhere into a cliff along the southern coast. There, he told the neighbor to go, and despite the neighbor's complaints, he left as Adrian asked him to. There, he slowly pushed the wheel of his wheelchair where it ended up falling from on height, and his body crushed by the force of the fall and sunk into the Southern Sea.

Nyi Roro Kidul, as Kanjeng Ratu Kidul's Patih or vicegerent, saw Adrian's sinking lifeless body, and as per protocol, she would turn him into an attendant to the Kraton of the Southern Sea, that is if she wasn't shocked from reading the poor boy's memory. She saw herself in his memory, a child cast out by their family and thrown down into the sea. Taking pity on him, she brought his body before the Queen herself, to raise as her own son. Kanjeng Ratu Kidul approved, and moved his weak, dimming soul into a keris that her craftsman specifically made for this purpose. From the seawater he was given a new body, and from the queen he was given his new name, Ragatirta, meaning (he with) the body of water.
With the new name, came a whole new responsibility, and so Ragatirta would be trained by his new, caring mother in using his powers. He even participated in the Myth War, and the words of the Southern Sea's newly adopted son would quickly spread throughout Indonesia. The war ended in the victory of the coalition between the central government and the Kraton of the Southern Sea, and the Rebuild has finally begun for the nation.

When the dust settled, Ragatirta reached the age of 24, and he was left with barely anything to do. Hoping to gain some new friends and study along the way, he asked Kanjeng Ratu Kidul's permission to study at Holy High. She approved, and so began his new life in a strange new land, studying in a new school after his last bitter experience years ago...

Creating these require a very convoluted ritual, and so he does not want to make another. They are Baya Putih (White Crocodile) and Ula Ijo (Green Serpent). Meanwhile, the Lesser Mimic is simply a replica of any animal from the sea, and is significantly weaker than the Greater Mimics.

(He with) The Body of Water
Ragatirta's mortal body has long been cast out into the deep and has become a nourishment to all the creatures within. Instead, all of his inner organs are replaced with seawater, with protection from certain illnesses or poison. Through his body of water, he can also choose to dissolve a part of or his whole body and return to his original form at will, rendering most regular physical attacks irrelevant for him. When dissolved, the water that was once his body part can still be moved, although only up to a certain distance.

The World is Your Sea
A simple ability where Ragatirta can fly around as if he's swimming in the water. This allows him to move faster than walking or running.

Hidden Soul
Not risking the death of his heir apparent, the Queen of the Southern Sea has kept the true soul of Ragatirta within a keris (a Javanese blade), hidden in the phantasmic Kraton (Palace) of the Southern Sea. Only by shattering the keris with an adequate amount of supernatural power can Ragatirta truly die, otherwise he will simply be reborn anew from the water of the Southern Sea.

Background (At least two paragraphs):

In the Republic of Indonesia, the Myth War, (or Perang Dedemit as they would call it) ravaged the entire archipelago for many years. Hundreds if not thousands of spirits and divine beings wage war against each other for hegemony, with the heaviest toll being paid by the humans and other mortal creations within. Not content with having the nation divided once again, the central government crafted a plan to ask for the help of a strong force and ordered the rest of the military who haven't defected to the sides of other local gods into supporting them. They looked on, and they struck gold. Along the southern coast of the island of Java, reigned a god-queen so feared by mortals and spiritual beings, that her territory was bereft of any conflict. Her title and name was Sri Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Kidul, or the Queen of the South (Southern Sea).

Then, the central government struck a negotiation with Kanjeng Ratu Kidul, and both found themselves in an agreement. For her support in ending the Myth War and bringing the authority back into the central government, they will acknowledge the territory of the southern Javenese coast and the waters beyond it will be hers to rule in a Special Region equal to a province. And so, in this time where Kanjeng Ratu Kidul began her assault throughout Nusantara, Adrian Putra Samudra was born.

Adrian was born to a well-off family, seeking refuge from the Myth War in Palabuhanratu Regency, where the most devout followers of Kanjeng Ratu Kidul lived until now. At six years old, he survived a long fall from a coconut tree, but at the cost of his legs, which bound him into a wheelchair. Because of this, many of his classmates in elementary school would mock him for his disability, and his parents chose to keep him at home and hired a private tutor. His life was almost bereft of any friends, and he started to pick up drawing as a coping mechanism. Little did young Adrian know, that this hobby would lead to a dark chapter of his life.

Six years later, Adrian was still the loner that he was, only seeing the faces of his parents, his private tutor, or his personal attendant who would help him move around with the wheelchair. He took lessons in math, Indonesian and Javanese language, and the studies of the paranormal. Adrian was mostly interested in the third lesson, often asking his tutors about certain supernatural beings and what they do throughout their lives.

The ongoing Myth War, in particular, drove him to study harder by himself about this specific subject. This passion was reflected in his drawings, where he would draw a white crocodile and a green giant serpent on almost every moment he got, slowly drawing it at a better quality. Seeing his sketches and illustrations drawn throughout the years, the heavily superstitious father believed that he was slowly getting possessed by an unknown spirit who wished to drag his son into becoming its soldier in the Myth War.

After that, the father would bring Adrian along to magicians or shamans, asking them to cure his son from the possession which didn't actually exist. Several of these people already warned him of such, and even his wife had joined in, yet he insisted on his belief. And so, he chose to disown Adrian. The mother begged for the father to keep the child, yet he doubled down by divorcing her as well. Having been told off by someone she truly loved, Adrian's mother died of grief, and this caused severe mental damage to him.

At the edge of his sanity, the now 19 years old Adrian thought to end his own life. He asked one of his old neighbors to drive him somewhere into a cliff along the southern coast. There, he told the neighbor to go, and despite the neighbor's complaints, he left as Adrian asked him to. There, he slowly pushed the wheel of his wheelchair where it ended up falling from on height, and his body crushed by the force of the fall and sunk into the Southern Sea.

Nyi Roro Kidul, as Kanjeng Ratu Kidul's Patih or vicegerent, saw Adrian's sinking lifeless body, and as per protocol, she would turn him into an attendant to the Kraton of the Southern Sea, that is if she wasn't shocked from reading the poor boy's memory. She saw herself in his memory, a child cast out by their family and thrown down into the sea. Taking pity on him, she brought his body before the Queen herself, to raise as her own son. Kanjeng Ratu Kidul approved, and moved his weak, dimming soul into a keris that her craftsman specifically made for this purpose. From the seawater he was given a new body, and from the queen he was given his new name, Ragatirta, meaning (he with) the body of water.
With the new name, came a whole new responsibility, and so Ragatirta would be trained by his new, caring mother in using his powers. He even participated in the Myth War, and the words of the Southern Sea's newly adopted son would quickly spread throughout Indonesia. The war ended in the victory of the coalition between the central government and the Kraton of the Southern Sea, and the Rebuild has finally begun for the nation.

When the dust settled, Ragatirta reached the age of 24, and he was left with barely anything to do. Hoping to gain some new friends and study along the way, he asked Kanjeng Ratu Kidul's permission to study at Holy High. She approved, and so began his new life in a strange new land, studying in a new school after his last bitter experience years ago...

Name: Aenar
Gender: N/A, pronouns They/Them

Litterally a shadow how can they have genders AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Domain(s): Shadows, Fear
Parents: N/A (Guess you could say the Daemon and Chaos if you really wanted this filled with something)
Age: 10
Appearance: Can alter there appearance, but typically looks like a silhouette with wight eyes.
Powers:
Aura of Fear
Due to the chaotic and esoteric nature of what they were formed out of, and the nature of there creation, they have an aura that causes the emotion of fear in all mortal creatures, but if they have a strong enough will it is ineffective. Gods and Demigods are immune to this effect. Cannot be turned off.

No Body
Aenar is made of shadows. Because of that, most physical attacks are rendered completely useless. They do have one big weakness. Light destroys their body, and counters their of their powers.

Darkness Manipulation
Aenar can control shadows. This extends to forming spikes, creatures, and walls out of darkness. Can only be destroyed by light. Aenar cannot limit this part of there powers very well, so it's pretty much all or nothing.

Darkstep
Because they can control shadows, they can destroy their body and re-create it elsewhere, allowing for instantaneous travel. They had to have been there before, however, and if there are no shadows it doesn't work.

Self-Mastery
Aenar looks like a silhouette, but it does not always have to be that way. They can control there body to make it look like anything they desire. Tall, short, 2D, 3D, even a bit of color! They can even change their voice. Their eyes, however, always remain the same and the form-shifting requires concentration.

Background:
One year after The Great Dying, life in a small town was largely the same. Because it wasn't very well known, and only had around 100 members, it managed to escape most of the destruction that other towns had faced. However, due to the loss of biodiversity, the town's livestock and farms suffered greatly. People began to starve, disease ran rampant, and the few members got even fewer. 100 members turned to 50, turned to 25. They began to get very desperate. Then the wanderer arrived.

He saw everything that was happening, and acted sorry for them. He said that he wielded great magic, and was willing to help them. They were suspicious, sure, but they had no other choice. And, to their surprise, he did help. Using his magic, he cured the diseases and caused crops to grow. Word spread of this magic man, and people migrated to this town in droves, bringing the numbers up to 300. The magic man proposed doing another spell. The whole town would have to participate, but it would ensure luck and good harvest forevermore. The townsfolk, with there blind faith in the man, agreed.

On the day of the spell, they all gathered around the main square as the man prepared his magic. He cast it, and the people dropped dead. The man was actually a powerful Daemon, and was using the townspeople's life-force to attempt to open a portal to the realm of the Gods, believing that they were so weak that he could overthrow them. But, alas, those who reach the highest have the longest way to fall. The Daemon overshot his destination, briefly opening a portal to the ethereal Chaos that the universe was formed out of, that the Gods were formed of. It was a death sentence. The entire town, Daemon included, was destroyed. And in the midst of it, a new being was formed of the darkness of the void and the fear of man. Aenar.

They were honestly pretty chill. Being formed from darkness and fear does not dictate your personality, apparently. They enjoyed helping mortals in the few ways they could. They heard of Holy High, sure, but didn't think they needed it. But when they accidentally destroyed a building (okay, like three buildings) practicing there powers, they realized they needed train. And who knows. They might even make some new friends! (Probably not though.)

Good app + good job reading the lore while making the app! We’ll flesh-out a little more of the character’s backstory while writing, so we can possibly expand from our current location in North Carolina. Welcome aboard, accepted!

[Luminesa]

The following have been updated:
- Principal and Vice Principal
- Active and Inactive Students
- Danceria is not a co-Op due to the fact that he seems to have disappeared and possibly CTE'd. That being said, we will keep his characters as "inactive", or retired, nevertheless. We're also not changing the sign, Weissa worked hard on that.
- New active students have been added. Last one will be added when UPR posts.
- New map has been added, due credits given below the picture.

These have needed to be edited since last year, but this year has been and will continue to be crazy. Please let me know if you think anything else needs to be added. Thank you to everyone who makes this very fun RP worthwhile and who puts in the effort to make it run!

(update from the last application because of a lot of things happening in the IC)

Name: Akurrada-karoa’baru (Strong Breaking Axe), shortened to Akura
Pantheon: Taíno-Arawak
Gender: Male
Domains: Strength and endurance, forests, honey, bees, warriors, seasons, insects, hunting, harvests
Parents: Faraguvaol (father), unnamed simo-ahawara mother
Age: 19
Appearance:
Human Form

Spirit Form

Akura, as a spirit, is a natural shapeshifter, but his status as being one of the simo-ahawara means that his natural appearance isn’t that of an animal like many of the spirits or some other concept like the sun and moon like his uncles, but rather, his natural appearance is relatively modest in comparison. His stature is certainly on the tall side, his mother’s heritage being that of a known race of warrior spirits, and he stands at 7’ 8” naturally as a spirit. However, he is still a teenager who has yet to enter his fully grown years as a warrior demigod, and his body lacks the heavily muscular builds of the other simo-ahawara. That being said, he’s by no means slim, and he possesses considerable musculature comparable to a high-end athlete. In his natural form, Akura is decidedly wasp-like in appearance; his skin is black and accented with yellow fuzz across his collar and arms, he possesses a fanged mouth, and his hands have only 3 fingers instead of 4. However, his status as being raised among humans in the aftermath of the Dying means that Akura finds it remarkably difficult to use his spirit form, and almost always uses a human guise.

His human guise that he uses and is more comfortable with is similar to his true form in physical qualities - though a fair bit shorter at 6’ 6” - but he lacks the wasp-like fuzz of his heritage, and his skin is a light, almost bronze, complexion. His hair, like many spirits, is traditionally worn long, and he wears it within a long, eloquently threaded braid to cut down on any annoyances that his long hair can accrue. His eyes are emerald-like in color, and constantly glow in a slightly dim manner, an indicator of his divine heritage through his father’s side.

Powers:
Spirit Form
Due to the way spirit magic works, Akura is a naturally magically inclined individual, but his particular brand of magic is far more primal and acts on desires and instincts, rather than intentional purpose, and is far more powerful as a spirit than a human. His so-called “spirit form” is his true form - a simo-ahawara wasp spirit - and much of his natural abilities are not only greatly boosted, but control over his abilities as well. Much of Akura’s natural simo-ahawara instincts show through this form and take over, with his aggression, wording, and behavior changing to match the mindset of his particular race of spirits, and will easily and rapidly overpower whatever human manners that he was raised with. As a spirit, Akura’s physical form changes to include not only a pair of wasp-like wings, with which he can fly at incredible speeds, but additionally, a stinger mounted within each wrist that he is capable of projecting at will. The venom of his wrist-stingers are incredibly potent, as befitting a simo-ahawara, but his divine nature renders them a potent alchemical reagent and capable of changing effects under the proper influence.

However, Akura’s mindset as a human keeps him from properly understanding exactly the true nature of what he is. Unable to actually understand the fact that he is entirely inhuman, the basest levels of Akura’s subconscious still believe that he is human, and that one blockage is all it takes for Akura to be almost incapable of accessing his spirit form, and only can do so in certain moments where his emotions can grow strong enough to overpower this blockage and distract him from this fact entirely.

Enhanced Divine Physicality
Though he possesses divine strength, stamina, and other such qualities - including durability and speed - derived from his nature as a semi-divine demigod and a spirit demigod at that, Akura possesses an even greater quantity of these elements due to being a simo-ahawara, who are naturally possessed of incredible strength and stamina, and Akura’s divine nature only serves to enhance them far further. Akura’s inability to handle his natural strength as his divine nature comes into being proves to be a rather large annoyance, as not only does he lack control over his strength, he cannot control the degrees of strength he outputs, unused to his divine nature; at times he can be weak and helpless, and other times he struggles in handling metal tools without crushing them within his grip.

Plant/Fungi Control
A power inherited from his divine father, Akura is capable of consciously and subconsciously controlling plants and fungi to his will, but the degrees of which vary. Unable to control his newly discovered powers, Akura’s abilities vary in strength, and theoretically, he should have the same mastery of flora as his father, but this does not manifest beyond minor abilities such as accelerating growth of plants, guiding their growth, and returning wilted plants to life.

Animal and Insect Control/Empathy
Akura is naturally capable of controlling animals, and compared to his control of plants, his ability to communicate with animals is generally somewhat more adept, but he still cannot communicate clearly, with his words and the words of whatever he is speaking to often jumbled and difficult to understand for the demigod. He is, however, greatly skilled within the arts of animal empathy, and can naturally tell what animals are feeling with a mere look or touch. Insects, due to their more simple minds, are much easier for Akura to enact his control over, and he’s not only capable of commanding the will of insects, he’s capable of possessing them and acting through insects as a surrogate body, though he’s unskilled in this particularly advanced form of insect commanding and rarely ever does such a thing successfully.

Animal/Plant Empowerment
In line with the natural powers over nature that Akura commands, he is additionally capable of infusing those he manipulates with his spiritual energies to greatly enhance the physical qualities of the animals and plants he chooses, and through this, can alter them to take on far different forms and states that are more similar to those of spirits. Though this ability is entirely unreliable - and, to Akura, practically experimental - this ability is capable of uplifting animals into intelligent beings, transforming them into vicious and beautiful beasts, granting them magical properties, and other such boons upwards and including to uplifting them into full spirits themselves had he the knowledge and power to do so.

Shapeshifting
Compared to Abaguabana and Coatrisquie, who have command over the ability to shapeshift into creatures of the sky and water respectfully, Akura has the inborn ability to shapeshift into animals in general; of the land, sky, and ocean, all of which are within his repertoire. However, his inexperience in such skills means that Akura rarely ever shapeshifts into the thing he wants; whereas Abaguabana has years of experience and full control over his shapeshifting, Akura cannot shift in and out of his animal forms reliably and has lacked a spirit mentor to teach him how to shapeshift safely.

Crafting Ability
Another quirk of simo-ahawara who build their great hive-villages, weapons, and tools from masterfully crafted works of stone and wax, Akura has a natural tendency to be able to create things he desires out of whatever he can get his hands on. His natural crafting abilities led him to tinker as a hobby, and if given the time to play with an unfamiliar tool, can understand it relatively quickly. Tinkering is one of his few strong points, having indulged in it since he was a child, and he considers himself a self-styled prodigy in craftsmanship.

Water Weakness
Simo-ahawara have a lethal weakness to water; their bodies are not flesh and bone, but hardened wax, and possess blood of honey. Their skin does not cut, it fractures, and though this provides the simo-ahawara with considerable durability, it leaves them with a glaring weakness - water dissolves their skin and blood, and can kill them, as lethal to them as acid is to others. Akura’s divine heritage renders the lethality of this weakness moot, but water still burns his skin as if it was boiling.

Background: Akura was the forbidden child of a one-night tryst between the great forest spirit Faraguvaol, the fifth son of the primordial earth goddess Iguanaboina, and one of the royal women of the Guanausa village-kingdom, the sister of the village’s head cacique. Born during the height of the Dying, during many of the violent invasions of the Spirit World - both foreign and dark spirit - Faraguvaol, out of concern for his newborn son, decreed that the demigod be sent from the Spirit World into the mortal world for his own safety, after considerable fighting from the baby’s mother. Delivered to safety by the kabuya rakan, who watched over the young boy, the infant Akura was eventually picked up and adopted into a family fleeing from San Juan over boat following one of Guabancex’ and her children’s many horrifically powerful hurricanes.

Akura did not grow up as a spirit would, but rather, as a human, and grew up ignorant of his divine origins. Though his parents would note that even as a child Akura’s strength was far beyond his peers on an almost hilarious discrepancy, Akura grew up with a rather normal childhood, and spent his years as a young child helping with the rebuilding of a coastal community. Akura was often picked on as a child for what other children believed was an unusual allergy to water - it rained often and tropical storms from hurricanes further south tended to end up at the survivor’s community, and when they did, the water would typically burn Akura harshly, leading to teasing from other children.

In his teenage years, Akura’s divine origins began to manifest with his growing body; his strength became not simply unusual, but supernatural, as he was capable of freely tossing entire tree trunks like toys even as a young teenager. By the time his more divine powers began to manifest - the occasional whisper from the survivor community’s pets, flowers growing in places where he had just been, his skin shifting from soft to hard, and other such phenomena led to Akura beginning to think he was growing insane. Such powers making themselves known served as a beacon to his father Faraguvaol, who allowed Akura into the Spirit World to further hone his powers at the age of 18.

Akura, though handing the news of what he was relatively well - always knowing he was different - could not conform to spirit society particularly well, with languages and a culture from a time long since passed causing confusion and frustration in Akura. His inner belief that he was not spirit, but human, was a severe limiter on his learning, and Akura was unable to learn the true extent of his power and divinity. By the time he was 19, Akura’s progress over his divine powers was middling at best, but he was forced to leave Guanausa and return to the Spirit World after a murapa-yeng manifested and leveled the entire village until it was nothing but rubble, leaving Faraguvaol to discreetly escort his son out of the village’s remains and enroll him into Holy High to learn to better control his powers from perspectives much closer to his own, with the forest god silently believing that learning from Greek and Norse deities would be much easier on the boy than learning from spirits.

Since then, Akura has had some difficulty in adjusting to the new society he’s found himself in, as well as a lingering resentment for a perceived abandonment by his birth father, which he can hardly consider true family, and has found adjusting to the revelations of godhood intimidating and difficult. In spite of this, Akura’s heart has shown through, in both his excitement over learning the existence of the world of the divine, and the generosity he approaches others, secretly wishing to be known as a benevolent god.

[Il-Illah]

(editing app for ability clarification purposes)

Name: Gusti Raden Mas Ragatirta (or simply Ragatirta), formerly Adrian Putra Samudra
Pantheon: Javanese
Gender: Male
Domain(s): Sea
Parents: Sri Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Kidul, Queen of the Southern Sea, formerly birthed and raised by a mortal couple
Age: 24
Appearance: Standing up to 180cm tall or around 5'11", he bears the resemblance of almost any young adult male commonly found in his homeland of Java (light brown skin, brown eyes, and black hair), but he has no facial hair whatsoever for someone his age. Were it not for his habit of wearing anything aqua green, which is the color of his queen mother, one would find difficulty in spotting a person so average-looking.
Powers:
Grace of the Southern Sea
Ragatirta, blessed by his new divine mother, has an authority over sea water and all mortal creation that dwells within the Southern Sea. He can control or create seawater at will, but the latter is quite more difficult for him. Aside from that, he can breath and live as normally (as he would on land) in water.

Burden of the Seas
The water can cause a certain amount of pressure given the situation. This, too, is within the domain of the Southern Sea's Prince. Any body of seawater, created or naturally occurring in the ocean, can have its pressure manipulated to an extreme degree regardless of the depth or the density of seawater.

Seawater Mimic
Ragatirta, from the seawater, can create mimics which can either be directly controlled by himself or granted a semblance of thought to move by itself according to orders. His mimic creation can be split into two categories; the Greater Mimic and the Lesser Mimic. The Greater Mimics are powerful seawater mimic of Ragatirta's two original creations from during his mortal period. Creating these require a very convoluted ritual, and so he does not want to make another. They are Baya Putih (White Crocodile) and Ula Ijo (Green Serpent). Meanwhile, the Lesser Mimic is simply a replica of any animal from the sea, and is significantly weaker than the Greater Mimics.

An Elaboration on the Greater Mimics
Companions to Ragatirta ever since he was but a human boy, Baya Putih and Ula Ijo are different from the mimics of sea creatures that the sea prince might create. From one whole year of fasting, meditation, and ceaseless incantations, both of them can now manifest at the will of their master, and if completely defeated, requires a 24 hour rest period before they can be summoned again.

First, Baya Putih and Ula Ijo bear their own sentience that none of the Lesser Mimics bear. Second, they have three different forms; animal form, beast form, and champion form. The animal form is merely them taking on the form of a white crocodile and a green whip snake respectively. The beast form is a slightly more powerful version, with Baya Putih becoming larger and developing white hair across its back and Ula Ijo becoming a large flying serpent with venomous claws and fangs.

Champion form, on the other hand, have them evolve into humanoid knights, with Baya Putih wielding two large gauntlets and long hair hard enough to block attacks, while Ula Ijo gaining a venomous keris that can extend itself and is flexible enough to be used like a whip.

(He with) The Body of Water
Ragatirta's mortal body has long been cast out into the deep and has become a nourishment to all the creatures within. Instead, all of his inner organs are replaced with seawater, with protection from certain illnesses or poison. Through his body of water, he can also choose to dissolve a part of or his whole body and return to his original form at will, rendering most regular physical attacks irrelevant for him. When dissolved, the water that was once his body part can still be moved, although only up to a certain distance.

The World is Your Sea
A simple ability where Ragatirta can fly around as if he's swimming in the water. This allows him to move faster than walking or running.

Hidden Soul
Not risking the death of his heir apparent, the Queen of the Southern Sea has kept the true soul of Ragatirta within a keris (a Javanese blade), hidden in the phantasmic Kraton (Palace) of the Southern Sea. Only by shattering the keris with an adequate amount of supernatural power can Ragatirta truly die, otherwise he will simply be reborn anew from the water of the Southern Sea.

Background (At least two paragraphs):

In the Republic of Indonesia, the Myth War, (or Perang Dedemit as they would call it) ravaged the entire archipelago for many years. Hundreds if not thousands of spirits and divine beings wage war against each other for hegemony, with the heaviest toll being paid by the humans and other mortal creations within. Not content with having the nation divided once again, the central government crafted a plan to ask for the help of a strong force and ordered the rest of the military who haven't defected to the sides of other local gods into supporting them. They looked on, and they struck gold. Along the southern coast of the island of Java, reigned a god-queen so feared by mortals and spiritual beings, that her territory was bereft of any conflict. Her title and name was Sri Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Kidul, or the Queen of the South (Southern Sea).

Then, the central government struck a negotiation with Kanjeng Ratu Kidul, and both found themselves in an agreement. For her support in ending the Myth War and bringing the authority back into the central government, they will acknowledge the territory of the southern Javenese coast and the waters beyond it will be hers to rule in a Special Region equal to a province. And so, in this time where Kanjeng Ratu Kidul began her assault throughout Nusantara, Adrian Putra Samudra was born.

Adrian was born to a well-off family, seeking refuge from the Myth War in Palabuhanratu Regency, where the most devout followers of Kanjeng Ratu Kidul lived until now. At six years old, he survived a long fall from a coconut tree, but at the cost of his legs, which bound him into a wheelchair. Because of this, many of his classmates in elementary school would mock him for his disability, and his parents chose to keep him at home and hired a private tutor. His life was almost bereft of any friends, and he started to pick up drawing as a coping mechanism. Little did young Adrian know, that this hobby would lead to a dark chapter of his life.

Six years later, Adrian was still the loner that he was, only seeing the faces of his parents, his private tutor, or his personal attendant who would help him move around with the wheelchair. He took lessons in math, Indonesian and Javanese language, and the studies of the paranormal. Adrian was mostly interested in the third lesson, often asking his tutors about certain supernatural beings and what they do throughout their lives.

The ongoing Myth War, in particular, drove him to study harder by himself about this specific subject. This passion was reflected in his drawings, where he would draw a white crocodile and a green giant serpent on almost every moment he got, slowly drawing it at a better quality. Seeing his sketches and illustrations drawn throughout the years, the heavily superstitious father believed that he was slowly getting possessed by an unknown spirit who wished to drag his son into becoming its soldier in the Myth War.

After that, the father would bring Adrian along to magicians or shamans, asking them to cure his son from the possession which didn't actually exist. Several of these people already warned him of such, and even his wife had joined in, yet he insisted on his belief. And so, he chose to disown Adrian. The mother begged for the father to keep the child, yet he doubled down by divorcing her as well. Having been told off by someone she truly loved, Adrian's mother died of grief, and this caused severe mental damage to him.

At the edge of his sanity, the now 19 years old Adrian thought to end his own life. He asked one of his old neighbors to drive him somewhere into a cliff along the southern coast. There, he told the neighbor to go, and despite the neighbor's complaints, he left as Adrian asked him to. There, he slowly pushed the wheel of his wheelchair where it ended up falling from on height, and his body crushed by the force of the fall and sunk into the Southern Sea.

Nyi Roro Kidul, as Kanjeng Ratu Kidul's Patih or vicegerent, saw Adrian's sinking lifeless body, and as per protocol, she would turn him into an attendant to the Kraton of the Southern Sea, that is if she wasn't shocked from reading the poor boy's memory. She saw herself in his memory, a child cast out by their family and thrown down into the sea. Taking pity on him, she brought his body before the Queen herself, to raise as her own son. Kanjeng Ratu Kidul approved, and moved his weak, dimming soul into a keris that her craftsman specifically made for this purpose. From the seawater he was given a new body, and from the queen he was given his new name, Ragatirta, meaning (he with) the body of water.
With the new name, came a whole new responsibility, and so Ragatirta would be trained by his new, caring mother in using his powers. He even participated in the Myth War, and the words of the Southern Sea's newly adopted son would quickly spread throughout Indonesia. The war ended in the victory of the coalition between the central government and the Kraton of the Southern Sea, and the Rebuild has finally begun for the nation.

When the dust settled, Ragatirta reached the age of 24, and he was left with barely anything to do. Hoping to gain some new friends and study along the way, he asked Kanjeng Ratu Kidul's permission to study at Holy High. She approved, and so began his new life in a strange new land, studying in a new school after his last bitter experience years ago...

Looks good to me!

Day 28!

[Hallownest Eternal]

Due to personal concerns about coherency and quality of writing, I'm putting up a revised app for Hoshiko.
Name: Hoshiko
Pantheon: Shinto
Gender: Male
Domain(s): Stars, Order, Blacksmithing
Parents: Amaterasu Ōmikami(surrogate), Amatsumara
Age: 23
Appearance: From his torso and waist, Hoshiko looks like a normal young man, albeit with more youthful and boyish features. His eyes are oddly catlike, and his hair cut short-albeit somewhat ragged due to difficulties in maintaining it.
The illusion of boyishness, however, is disrupted by his limbs. Each limb is a hulking piece of iron, engraved with countless durability and protection symbols. They start off normally proportioned at the shoulders and hips, but quickly become bulky and imposing, with his legs terminating in elephantine pillars and the forearms being wide enough to pose as improvised shields, his hands giant and not as dexterous as organic counterparts. Due to his comically large limbs, he towers well over what would be proportioned well to his torso's size, giving him an almost ursine posture.

He typically goes about in large, baggy robes that conceal his limbs, tied shut with thick Shimenawa. He possesses combat armor, but prefers to keep it tidily kept away in a wardrobe somewhere. A Crown of a dozen or so miniature stars circles his head, providing little illumination.
Powers:

Heart of Starlight
A shard of the Sun wrapped in divine metalwork. A turbine in perpetual motion. Hoshiko's heart is not flesh and blood but an ever-turning generator of immense power, pumping not ichor but the light of the cosmos through his veins. The source of his power, and indestructible. Grants Hoshiko immense strength and speed, augmenting the already formidable physical ability of his limbs.
Additionally, the Heart of Starlight can serve as a weapon of immense power - by tapping directly into it, Hoshiko can route its power through his body to unleash a beam of devastating energy - ranging from a dim red all the way to a brilliant blue-white lance of starlight, the more energy he puts into the attack, the more exhausted he is after its execution. The limit of his ability to retain consciousness after its use is within the lower end of A-class(roughly 7200 degrees celsius) and he has never exerted beyond mid-B-class(roughly 16000 degrees celsius) - which knocked him out for five days.

Steel Limbs
Hoshiko's body does not have fleshy limbs, but rather artifice of immense strength. Each limb is disproportionately long and thick, forged of steel from the heart of a collapsing star, and engineered for immense, indefagitable strength. Were it not for his gravitational manipulation, he would be leaving craters with each step. Additionally, his arms are detachable below the elbow, albeit still connected by a length of super-strong cable. The furthest Hoshiko can extend them before running out of cable is approximately 40 meters.

Gravity Manipulation
Owing to his astral heritage, Hoshiko is capable of manipulating gravity on himself and others. If focused on an area, he can muster a roughly thirty-meter radius of a maximum of 15g, and if focused on a single target, he can reach forces of up to 50g at a range of up to forty meters.

Orderly Soul
Hoshiko is born of the rigidity of steel and exemplifies this with a passive aura of order around him. Innately chaotic objects will begin to show more synchronous behavior, and illusions become easier to see through the closer they are to him - vanishing outright on physical contact, with Hoshi himself able to see through them.

Binding
Similar to his orderly Soul, Hoshiko has the capacity to bind other beings via the conjuration of spectral Shimenawa. The rope can be used to either form a cordon to ward off spirits or keep them within specific areas, or wrapped about a specific spirit to begin binding them in place - causing them to slowly be enveloped in either stone or a new-grown tree.

Background (At least two paragraphs):

When tensions were ramping up to the Dying and Inter-Pantheon wars, the Kami wanted a weapon to deter any potential assaults. To this end they worked intensely - Amaterasu gave a portion of her essence, and Amatsumara was tasked with working the solar flame into steel. Unfortunately(or perhaps fortunately) this did not go entirely to plan - the innate power of the shard of Amaterasu crystalized into life of its own. Flesh was joined to steel and saturated with fulminous starlight, and Hoshiko was born - a baby, but one with ironclad limbs and the Unmatched Power Of The Sun inside of it.
The outbreak of the War and an assault on Takamagahara caused Hoshiko to be lost in the chaos, falling down to the mortal world as a shooting star, where he was discovered by a couple that took it as an omen amidst the sudden onset of the apocalypse. He was raised in secret and isolation, even as his proportions grew greater than any natural human, away from the eyes of the gods and monsters prowling the Japanese landscape.
Unfortunately, this quiet life would not last forever, and when a [unspecified monster] set upon his adoptive family's homestead his powers kicked in in earnest - killing the monster, but setting off divine senses across the entire island. As it was the tail-end of the war, it was too late for Hoshiko to be made a weapon in full - and the gentleness accrued in his soul by his human upbringing hindered that further.
He was taken up to Takamagahara to be formally inducted into the pantheon, and for a time taught by Amatsumara and Omoikane before being enrolled in Holy High.
