Ok this took a while, wasn't sure about taking part in the competition, but here we go (p.s. this will take a few posts):
First here is a few images of the character:

here is a sketch of an uncolored version:

And now closer views of the body and face shown on the first image:

Introduction to the god:
“I am the hive, for a millennia I have been inside the void of the universe, waiting......., watching……., expanding……, preparing………, now the wait has ended! The time has come for the hive to leave the void and infest other planets, everything shall be consumed, for they have committed the greatest of sins!!!”
Memorials of the past:
“It has been a long time ago, I can barely remember who I was….. What I was….. these are my memories……
First memory:
I remember pain and suffering…..and……..hatred, I hated every single thing around me, I learned with time that every single being is rotten to the core……
With time I heard voices, they were calling me, I ignored them at first, but then it wasn’t just voices, something was pulling me, I decided to follow it………and so I found it, a strange artifact of unknown origins, it was calling me…….
Second memory:
I spent some time researching it, I could feel that something in me was changing, I was no longer like the other creatures in my world, I wasn’t aging like my brethren, and I was growing stronger, clearly I had been chosen by this……artifact……., I realized I was able to change my physical appearance at will, I ripped my skin and changed my bone and sinew structure, I hated being like the other beings….. A filthy rotten creature like them, I was finally different to those monsters….. The joy!!!….. I never felt so much joy!!!

Third memory:
Rotten pests! They found me! They must not leave this place! They call me an abomination, but they are the true monsters! Rotten creatures who deserve pain and suffering! but killing them won’t be enough, they must suffer!..... But now with them trapped here I can begin experimenting, for the last years I have been consuming the anima around me and the souls of many beings, with this I’ve learned to increase my power, but destroying their souls is a……. better destiny than what they deserve….. I got more entertaining plans for them…….
Fourth memory:
The experiment was a success! after modifying my body further I have gained the ability to create parasites, these parasites attaches to other living beings inflicting them constant pain to their bodies, and turns them into horrifying mutants, just what they deserve!!!, the parasite also takes away their free will submitting them to me, I can control the hosts with my mind, and force them to do whatever I want, while they remain conscious of what they do haha!!!!, as an extra security measure I ensured that removing the parasite kills them!!!
Fifth memory:
I was confronted by the death of my world alongside many armies, fools now they serve me, and death himself is one of my most powerful warriors, not only that I forced him to grant me access to the underworld, I sure enjoyed consuming those souls and taking away their afterlife!!! But with time I have found likeminded individuals, they agreed to be injected with a special kind of parasite, this parasite will only activate if they show any sign of opposition towards me, the parasite links us mentally, a hive mind of sorts just like my mutated servants, I’m so glad I have found people who see the truth of this world, together we shall destroy all opposition in this world, now they cannot escape from me!!!!

Sixth memory:
I have finally consumed the entire world, they couldn’t fight back when their loved ones where the ones finishing them, haha! I have finally freed the world from those rotten beings!!! Maybe I should end this!!! I have finally destroyed those rotten creatures, there is no point in me continuing to exist and once I die all of the souls of my hive will be destroyed as well……uh…...what is this?.... I see through one of my hosts…… a creature I’ve never seen…….seems my job isn’t finished……
Seventh memory:
Nooooooo!!!….. No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!................... nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are more!!!! My efforts have been in vain!!!! There are more living beings in other worlds!!!!! I was a fool to think this was the only world!!!!!.... I have learned not only that but there are beings similar to me, they call themselves “gods”….. Such an odd concept, these “gods” travel from world to world gathering followers, seems my mission isn’t complete until all these gods and their followers are destroyed!!!!
Eight memory:
Seems these gods are immune to my parasites, but they got no soul, only divine energy to absorb, but thanks to this I’ve gained more varied followers, and with this hive mind I’ve created I can create more effective tactics to counter my enemies….. I’ll keep expanding the hive, and send some of my hosts to observe the other worlds….

Final memory:
There are more gods than I could imagine with some vast effective armies……. I must remain hidden 1 vs 1 I shouldn’t have trouble beating them, but I’m afraid they will unite to destroy me if they found out my existence and my nature, I cannot handle that many gods, I’ll wait, wait for them to weaken each other, I’ll observe, observe to learn their respective weaknesses, I’ll expand, expand to strengthen my armies, I’ll prepare, prepare for the end of all live!!! Anything who enter my territory….. The void! Shall be consumed!!! I’ll make sure no one learns of my existence!!!
Ok this is the god I propose: Hass, a character full of hatred for every single being that exists, he sees all living beings as rotten including himself, for him living is a sin, he is the equivalent of a misanthropic person, with the difference it includes all living beings, he is still willing to accept people under his service as long as they loyal to him and see the world in the same way as him, he enjoys meeting likeminded individuals in fact, he consumes everything on his path and enjoys causing pain on others, his only objective is to punish every being for being alive, including himself (which is one of the many reasons he ruined his own body), once he achieves his objective he plans to destroy himself as a final punishment for his……”sin”

Why do I think he would be a great addition to rs?
First : Rs currently has a problem, it lacks something, first I want to point out, I feel so far it’s clear u want to set Sliske as a villain, along with his master who is possibly Xau Tak, and with com it seems u want to set Zaros as a villain as well (which I kind of expected

), and although there are other characters that can be considered the main villains, here is the thing I feel there are too many good guys in rs, and not only that but cases like the ones I mentioned are not 100% confirmed villains, like u can still defend them in some way, the few clear villains got removed almost immediately from the game like Bandos and Tuska (mainly her followers), so I feel many would enjoy seeing a “truly” evil character like this.
Second: Hass is basically a hive mind, who is constantly infecting other creatures to become part of his hive, I feel the concept of a god that works like that is quite interesting, and the hive nature of the hosts of Hass allows for the infected to work as a single unit, in what sense? well they would be more effective in combat in the sense that they share their thoughts allowing them to cover other infected weaknesses (which would aloud for some interesting slayer creatures) and become an efficient military force.

Well that took a while, hope u enjoyed it!!!!, anyway do I also need to send an email with this or just posting it here on forums is enough?

Edit: also want to add that I decided to make it look less humanoid due to lack of nonhumanoid races (2 legs 2 arms 1 head), and the idea is that the character makes diff expresions with the hands while talking

Visawean Goddess of the In-Between and Magic
Visawean, born Nardae Meious, was born during the time of strife for the people of Kethsi. She was born to a moderately powerful family of mages. She was the only child of the people of Kethsi to be born after the stone of Jas was brought to the planet. Since childhood, she was exposed to the power of the stone, feeding on it, bathing in strength and aura. Hooked. She became the most power-hungry and greedy Kethsian, going far enough to live near Mount Firewake, never letting the stone out of her site. When the dragonkin fought against the people of Kethsi, she was the last to die. Sadly, she did not go down with pride. During the war efforts, the mages were rejuvenated with the power of the relic, but Nardae, she did not support this, nor did he stand for it. History believed that it may have been the Dragonkin who finally destroyed the people of Kethsi, during the time they had migrated to Sann to protect themselves. History lied. What it did not tell was that it was Nardae, not the dragonkin, who annihilated her people. She massacred her own kind, in anger, and hate. Hate for them trying to utilize the power of the Stone. Yes, this was the main reason the Dragonkin came to the planet Kethsi. It was Nardae, the power abuser, the one who was responsible for the destruction of her own race. It was her crave and desire for power that brought the Dragonkin forth, and her own crave for power which destroyed her people. During the time she lay dying, Jas, the elder god of Time, took sight of Nardae. She noticed a strange disturbance in power, a mortal, who held a greater power, accumulated and augmented by the Stone of Jas. She noticed her death, and she saw what happened. As Nardae was dying, her soul was displaced, which meant it did not reach the after life. She ended up in the in-between, a place isolated from time. It was because of the power Nardae had within her life, that prevented her from entering the afterlife.

Drawing is not my Forté Though I'm pleased with the Fox version, he looks happier than the vengeful god-mode version.

Art Style - Pencil, Colored pencil, and charcoal (I made a mess.)

Bedross, Human Form:

Bedross, Kitsune Form:

Early Concept Art:

More Personality Traits:
He has a bit of a drinking problem, Players might mistake him for a weary adventurer at the pub, Quietly drinking to dull the aches of his long journey. He does not Flaunt his powers and think of himself greater than normal humans, but when pushed he will reveal whatever power necessary to teach young pompous adventurers some respect. Telling him you're the world guardian might get a laugh out of the Vengeful god.

Probably the reason I think he should be chosen most, The gods in Gielinor all see themselves greater than lesser beings, even Seren who is compassionate and helpful views herself as a god. Bedross is relatable, He walks among the mortals and sees them as equals, his strength and power is not to rule but to protect his brethren. Going as far as to renounce any and all claims he is a god or guardian despite having followers. Sort of like a young Guthix.

Charles Ragen Chuck
God of the feast

Charles Ragen and Chuck were once normal turkeys in the realm of giants. they lived much of their lives just being turkeys that is till the day the giant god came and chose the 3 of them for his feast. The three turkeys didn't much like that idea so they decided why not just trip the god into his own oven. Fair to say it worked and the turkeys enjoyed a feast of god flesh. Upon eating the god however a bright light shined and the three fused together. Upon realizing their new found power they could hear all the suffering of every other turkey in every other realm. Now they go from one realm to another, using their feathers to daze and control any who harm turkeys.

Reliquiae the Gatherer

TL; DR: Reliquiae is a world used by the elder gods to absorb the fragments they miss and incubate them into an additional source of anima.

Some gods ascend from the ranks of mortals. Other gods are shaped; born into divinity by higher forces. And then there are gods like Reliquiae. Barely sentient and possessing only the barest fragments of godly power, Reliquiae’s only notable feature is its age. Having formed from fragments of creation, it is far older then Zaros and Seren combined.

As the elder gods awaken, they begin the process of destroying, consuming, and recreating the universe, leaving little besides their resting place behind. But this process is not perfect. On occasion, pieces have escaped destruction by sheer chance. These pieces eventually coalesced into the world of Reliquiae.

The elder gods discovered Reliquiae and were tempted to remove it as they had done to so many other worlds. Upon noticing its burgeoning anima core, it was decided to keep the world as another tool. Unable to resist, it now roams creation, looking for and absorbing fragments left behind from previous cycles and hoarding them into yet another feast for its masters.

And now to embarrass myself with a terrible drawing!
