NAME(S): Elatha

GENDER(S): Male

AGE: Young

AFFILIATION(S)/PURPOSE(S): A god of the Moon, and Princes. Was once a Sun god as well, but is no longer such.

FORM(S): Elatha most often takes the form of a twenty-something year old man with pale skin (often tinted blue) and golden hair. He always dresses in the best clothes of when/wherever he is, and often has a heavy metal ring around his neck.

POWERS(*): As a young god, Elatha possess only very basic, and typical divine powers, granting small wishes, changing his shape, so one and so forth. Elatha can however, also play an influence over the moon, and the tides.

REALM: Elatha has a realm, but due to his weakness, it is a very small castle on an island and little more. Is realm is locked in an eternal night, and many moons are present, all in different phases.

SUBJECTS: Elatha was once a prince of a divine race called the Fomorians. Most of them are gone now, but a small handful remain in his realm, acting only as servants and messengers.

ACOLYTES: Elatha’s daughter, Bres, is a quiet and timid princess who lives in her father’s realm, and serves as his primary ally and confidant.

SOURCE OF WORSHIP: Elatha is worshiped only the Celtic Irish. The smallness of his worshipers has caused him to be a weaker god with few powers.

BACKSTORY: Elatha was once the prince of the Fomorians- a divine race that existed in a realm outside of any Earth realm. As their kind became fewer and fewer, he became a god of the Sun thanks to a much older deity, hoping to use divine power to save his race. Unable to obtain a following, he became a darker being- a god of the moon. The Fomorians are almost entirely gone now, but he remains a god, and protects the few that exist.

NAME(S): Abo-Cocazo, Slavro/Slavia, sometimes Slavia-Cocazo. Most commonly referred to as the first, or simply Abo.

GENDER(S): Gender-fluid. Was originally depicted solely as feminine, though has more recently been given masculine qualities.

AGE: Young

AFFILIATION(S)/PURPOSE(S): Freedom and Slavery. Started out as only the former, but is now more associated with the latter.

FORM(S): Abo-Cocazo's most frequently adopted form is that of the 'slave'. A black man in peak human condition shackled to a cross and enwrapped in chains which cover his modesty. Chains coming off of his body are also attached to small, floating, mossy rocks, further anchoring him in place. His head is beastly; crocodilian in shape but covered in fur, and sprouting ram horns.

Abo-Cocazo's second favoured form is that of 'freedom'. A white woman with golden locks that fall to the floor, a flowing yet modestly revealing blue gown, and incredibly pale skin which sometimes emanates a glowing aura.

POWERS: Abo-Cocazo's powers are limited in that he does not have a grand following. He may provide power to those wishing to defy their subjugation, yet also spread despair and hopelessness amongst the subjugated.

REALM: Abo's realm is a small, doughnut shaped world composed entirely of water, giving off the illusion of an eternal ocean. A single, black ship sails its tides, and the light of the Promised Lands lingers ever on the horizon, forever out of reach.

SUBJECTS: The Keepers: near humans which man the boat of Abo's realm. Half of them pilot the boat, whilst the other half are kept as thralls. The sailors appear apelike and bestial, whilst the thralls are as demonic shades. The thralls will regularly overthrow the sailors and enslave them, becoming apelike and bestial in the process whilst the ex-sailors become demonic shades. And thus the cycle continues eternally.

ACOLYTES: None. Hags be hagglin', gods be god damn crazy, it's all happening ogre at Into The Fire

SOURCE OF WORSHIP: Abo-Cocazo is worshipped by any number of large groups of slaves; so long as they have given up hope and abandoned their personal gods. Furthermore, Abo is worshipped by some that are directly involved within the slave trade.


BACKSTORY: Abo was originally the embodiment of freedom, and depicted as a black woman. However, after several generations of slaves being forced to adopt some foreign religion, Abo became more and more Anglicised: pale skin, long, golden locks, etc., and was rechristened Abo-Cocazo.

However, the slavers that saw the worship of this foreign goddess typified it as something else- feral and monstrous. Abo-Cocazo's slave form is a representation of this typecasting, and the names Slavro and Slavia come from this, (Slavia is used by those who take time to realise Abo-Cocazo is meant to be female. Most are ignorant and assume she is male, hence Slavro.) Their belief in this depiction of the goddess birthed the dual purpose of Abo-Cocazo: both Freedom and Slavery.

When there is a highly significant number of slaves praying to Abo-Cocazo, the god will act and aid in their freedom and uprisings. The slavers interpret this as them having angered Slavro and will try their best to appease the god with more devout worship. When the prayers and beliefs of the slavers outweigh that of the slaves, (for many cease to worship Abo-Cocazo, or pass down this worship through the generations, once freed,) then Abo-Cocazo will aid in the capture of hundreds of new slaves, encouraging the cycle to continue endlessly.

Some slaves have even abandoned the depiction of 'freedom' entirely, seeing the 'slave' form of Abo as being a realistic embodiment of their struggles and a representation that Abo is struggling with them, hence why this is the form Abo-Cocazo most commonly uses now.

((I'm not sure whether or not the powers I've given will be suitable. The depression/helplessness thing would not work on other deities, whilst the 'valour' power is more of giving a boost of energy to Abo's allies rather than giving Abo any personal advantage in battle. Still, I can see how it could be considered slight godmodding/powerplaying, so do let me know if you want me to change that, or anything really.

Also I'm rather fatigued, so I apologise in advance if there's any glaring mistakes in my bio.)) Hags be hagglin', gods be god damn crazy, it's all happening ogre at Into The Fire

NAME(S): The liar, The silver tongue, The story teller, The word Thief. They also adopted the name Nyx seeing as everything else is more of a title

GENDER(S): Male, female, and sometimes both.

AGE: Middle aged, not the oldest god on the block but he isn't learning the ropes.

AFFILIATION(S)/PURPOSE(S): A god to the liars, businessmen, bards, con-artists and the thieves. He is the one who spin the tales to confuse and misdirect, to let the imagination run wild and to bring to life the spark of human nature, what makes them tell stories of the other gods to come up with reasons for why things happen the way they do.

FORM(S): Their favorite form is that of a young child, about seven years of age with short black hair hanging just above their ears and dark blue-grey eyes. In terms of outfits normally the child wears ragged beggar like clothing.

POWERS(S): Literary and words, to Nyx how you define the word and place it can mean everything. If you phrase the wrong sentence it can be turned against you, after all a god of words is something that you don't wish to speak ill towards.

The ability to take the words from others mouth and silence them completely destroying their ability to speak till it is chosen to return to them.

REALM: The world where Nyx will spend most their time is a flat plane filled with nothing but books, they make up the entire world with the greatest human tales and some of the most simplest but infamously known. The words you speak in this world manifest and become living things while you are here, if you say the word bird it would create one for a short period of time. It is used to bring stories to life to show the meaning within the words sometimes.

SUBJECTS: None at the moment, he has enough people that share and tell stories to their children that he doesn't need to have armies or others serve him.

ACOLYTES: Leozare* the record keeper, Leozaren resides within the realm of words writing down humanities stories and copying them. He is the record keeper for every lie ever told, he marks beside the lies how often they are told. He is a three faced being with six set of arms to write down into the journals all the lies ever told and to keep track of them.

SOURCE OF WORSHIP: The lies told by man, the stories a parent tells a child, the creative stories man tells each other to allow understanding of things. Nyx isn't worshiped properly, he never was a god of words? Who would take the time to idolize that? So instead of creating a religion to himself he slipped himself within the pages of the books that people read, the stories they share with one another. Any worship of him that does exist is done through the art of storytelling and the ability to share the stories of life.

BACKSTORY: He started out as a story told to children who lied constantly, "Don't lie to your parents or The liar will get you and rip out your tongue!" Naturally the children laughed it off and continued to spread the story, of course they didn't believe it and so they modified it changing it around some, "There is a god that loves it when you lie, they call them the silver tongued demon." Once again, they laughed it off not believing it. But of course their words began to take shape, as they aged their stories aged the two different versions of him one who hated liars and the other who promoted it, and soon a third version of Nyx came to be "The Storyteller, they are a genderless figure who grants mercy upon someone who can entertain them with a good story, keep them on edge and wanting more and more. But be careful the better the story the less likely the god is to let you go."

And so Nyx grew slowly but powerfully, over time he heard the stories of other gods and their tales of strenght and conquest he absorbed it forming a body as a manifestation, as he took form he took that of --

Something to him was innocent and harmless, a child after all who would dare strike down a child, innocence was a face of beauty and something that looked like it could do no wrong. But from that innocence he grew in power, he walked the world of the living now hearing the tales of himself, of the other gods and it made him happy. He was a story told by man and he himself joined in with mans stories feeding insane tall tales of demons, dragons, hellish creatures of nightmares and gory imagery that would make the strongest of heart feel sick.

With the world around him wrapped in story he was powerful, he couldn't tear a world apart and destroy it. But he could shape it, with a word he could make the truth appear as a lie and the lie as a truth. He was a troublesome god but harmless, for the stories man told enthralled him but he had spent too much time among man, so he decided to leave to a new place a place where he could call his own and watch as man continued to tell stories and create a world of imagination.

Other: N/a
