Name: Jörð (Pronounced Jord)
Age: Unknown
Appearance:
Gender (the gender you prefer to appear as): N/A (Using he and his for simplification)
Aspect/Domain (what are you the frickin’ god of?): Terrestrial Earth (Land; tectonic plates, mountains, volcanoes, canyons, valleys, sand, etc.), Creatures of the Land (Humans, Dwarves, Elves, Goblins, Orcs, Worms, Moles, Wyrms etc.), Lava and Magma. Amphibians
Junior or senior god?: Senior
Bio: Jörð is one of the oldest of the senior gods and brother to Indra. He has been around since the creation of existence and created the world as it is. With the land created, he finally had the canvas to create what he wanted. At first the land was nothing but magma, but eventually he decided to create something more easily moldable, thus a massive continent that covered the entire globe was made. He tried to reach the domain of Indra so that they might battle, thus created mountains. When he grew bored of the blank land, he created the first creatures. These creatures, are now known as Wyrms, which he modeled after himself. He desired for them to reach his size but they never grew larger than what would later become a horse. Suddenly, Jörð's canvas was ruined when the creation of water and his brother Govaroth came to be. The world was consumed by water, covering almost the entirety. Jörð then began his crusade against his brother, swearing that he would reclaim the land lost to the sea.
He first began this by creating more creatures, first came the orcs and goblins. However, they could not stand water as it could cause them to melt and they lacked any high intelligence thus they became warriors. Then came the Dwarves and humans, which were almost perfect. They could touch water without dying, however Govaroth contaminated the process thus making these creatures require water to survive. The humans became pointless to Jörð while the Dwarves became excellent miners, thus he has the Dwarves construct his many temples in the earth.
Then Jörð tried to create something close to the size of a human but could live longer, thus came the elves but were not as strong as the Dwarves or Elves. Finally he created what he has hoped to use to conquer Govaroth, amphibians. They could survive on both land and in water, however he could not create any creatures close to human size thus they resemble himself but smaller.
Now Jörð continues his war with Govaroth, as he tries to conquer the ocean. What is known as the tides is actually these two gods fighting for control over the beaches and shorelines which is the battleground for the two. Jörð watches over his many children scattered across the land as he hopes that one of them will help him conquer the sea. Jörð resides in the largest volcano and mountain range on the earth, what humans called "Wyrm's Mouth". Inside the mountain he has trained many goblin and orcs armies should they need to be used and has the oldest Dwarf clan mine the many mountains.
Sexual orientation: N/A
Personality: Jörð sees himself as an artist. He strives to create the "perfect world", thus he strives in change whether it be by manipulating tectonic plates to move the land or creating his servants. Jörð is ruthless, he cares little for the lives of mortals that reside on his land with only the occasional mortal being picked to be his champion. Jörð cares little for the Pantheon and the many people among it, thus he keeps to himself rarely interacting with his fellow divine beings.
Powers/Abilities:Likes: Destruction and Construction, Removing water from his land, Changing the tectonic plates of the earth, Change.
- Terrakinesis: Jord can move the land as he sees fit, however it is a slow process depending on the size. It can take a millennia or more to move a continent but can create earthquakes to move things slightly, however more quickly.
- Drought: Due to Jord being enemies with Govaroth, Jord has the ability to create droughts so as to weaken Govaroth's control on land.
- Magma Breath: From the inside, Jord can unleash great destruction by unleashing the Magma inside of himself. The magma is slow, thus is not a very powerful weapon especially those that are agile. (Essentially a portable volcano if enough gets out)
Dislikes: Erosion, Floods, Rain and Storms. His children drowning.
Strengths: Can give birth to Goblins and Orcs, The Magma he controls is hot enough to evaporate water (but not large bodies like oceans), His size and raw power (Can crush many things)
Weaknesses: Large amounts of water (if submerged for too long he will die), Water Magic.
Equipment: None, he is a very large creature.
Goals: Create the perfect world, Reach Govaroth and destroy him.
Bringing this back, I'm busy with something so let me know if there's something I need to remove.
Also if no one does God of the Sea I'll do it too. I'll wait until one is made and I'll adjust to them as I want the God of Sea and Land to be closely tied.
The letter "ð" is pronounced like the "th" in "the". Just letting you know.
Also, consider this a tag.
