Characters

Here is the sheet, I encourage using even a little bit of code with the color that responds with your character but as long as its readable I don't think you need the extra brownie points.

I would also like to point out here that the characters are going to be human as the roleplay begins. That means that they won't have access to any of their abilities and begin to age. Throughout the RP as they get closer to rid themselves of their human condition will they be able to use more and more abilities. How will they do this? I, uh haven't decided yet. x3

[Collidias Rex]

"In flesh, integrity. In mind, peace. In heart, valor."

​

VIS

​

Name: Vis (Was also known as Siv among mortals - the linguistic origin to Germanic "Sif", goddess of fertility)

Physical Age: 22

Mental Age: 30

Gender: Male

Height: 5'11"

Weight: 85kg

Hair: Sandy-blonde, medium top and sides, long at the back and woven into braids reaching down to his shoulders. A short, full-face beard.



(A long time ago, he carried long platinum-blonde hair reaching to his waist. He lost this when he decided upon a more traditional masculine appearance - which lead some confused followers to believe his former appearance was another god - a kind of feminine counterpart to the new masculine Vis. Thus, Siv - and later Sif - was born of this misconception.)

​

Eyes: Wide eyes, vivid green irises.

Build: Mesomorphic, fit and vaguely muscular.

Complexion: Flawless, pale skin.

Godly Appearance: In his balanced state, he has radiant, pale skin and boasts neat, symmetrical features - uncanny and flawless, like marble. Three short thorns sprout from his brow, one center and two flanking. He bears not a scar nor mar, scratch nor blemish - the epitome of "flawless" to the point of being uncanny. But his body reflects his well-being holistically - not merely physically. In undergoing harm or stress - physical, spiritual or emotional - scars well up across his skin and his veins bulge as strings of ivy grow through them, thorns pricking through the skin and growing longer and sharper.

Spoiler: Personality

Vis can be hard to pin down - he is a two-faced individual with a "mask" for every occasion, and he insists on separating "dutiful" relationships from "personal" relationships.

In negotiation and discussion of matters divine, he is quiet and confident - stoic and unmoving like the stone. He is the youngest of his siblings, and he affords the others their due respect in precedence of speaking. But this does not mean he is meek - far from it, Vis becomes very blunt and territorial when pressed, and he does not mix his words when he feels his authorities are being encroached upon. What he lacks in wit and sharpness of tongue, he makes up for in very deft, expressive body language. He is prideful and protective of his divine duties, and despises to be tread upon in such matters.

In matters of personal business, Vis is a much more amicable individual and enjoys the company of his siblings. He enjoys jest and well-meaning jabs, and treats his siblings with hospitality - encouraging them to speak with him whenever they feel troubled and inviting them to tea. His youthful appearance and situational abrasiveness aside, he has an almost "fatherly" side to him and he cares deeply for his siblings, lending his advice or assistance whenever it is desired. He does not hold grudges, and while he expects improvements of those who have wronged him - he is quick to forgive when provided with a sincere apology.

There's an adrenaline junkie underneath everything - an experience-seeking hedonist at the core of his being. He takes great delight in cutting loose and sparring with whoever might pick up a weapon against him, reveling in the thrill of dueling and thriving on adrenaline. Anything that makes him feel more alive is something to be enjoyed. He is capable of synthesizing his own satisfaction, but finds he cannot fully recreate the sensation of naturally evoking adrenaline. A rare moment where his stoicism breaks.

-Nox-
God of Destruction​

(Human Form)
. Name Nox

.Physical Age 55

.Mental Age 55

.Gender Male

.Height 6'0

.Weight 175lbs

.Hair Black but graying- combed to one side

.Eyes Blue-gray

.Build Lean

.Complexion Light

.Godly Appearance
Nox's form is that of a shadowy, humanoid figure. He takes on that of a tall, thin man wrapped in cloak of black. A pair of pale white orbs stare out from a featureless face. The edges of his figure are distorted however, permanently curling and twisting away into vapor around him. Hidden beneath the cloak is a inhumanly spindly form, little more than ever shifting, grayish mist in the vague shape of a man.

.Personally
Nox has grown somewhat wistful over the centuries. Once, in times long past, many worshiped him. Praying to stave off his wrath, and maintain peace. They would ask that no famine or pestilence befall them, that his will be merciful. These days were dominate by a more boisterous and conceited personality. One which has faded with his worshipers, and turned to relative passivity. Nox conducts himself with fastidious and collected manner. He has a quite and observant attitude, tempered as his notoriety among those on earth waned.

It should not be mistaken however, that Nox is now without passion. His purpose and place at midst his siblings is clear. When Nox once walked the earth, it was rarely to cast his favor. Destruction is in his very being, and a concealed beneath his calm exterior lays a quick temper, with an imperious nature behind it. He remains stubborn and immovable on many matters, and is reluctant to concede, even in the face of evidence. Ultimately, Nox is reserved, yet prideful. The latter so often dominating his decisions.

[Grouse]

DELTA​

[BASICS]

Domain: Wisdom
Elemental Affinity: Water
Symbol: Dolphin

Age: Appears and acts like she is in her early 50’s
Gender: Female
Height: 5’6”
Weight: 136 lbs

[GODLY APPEARANCE]

Cursed with fickle taste, Delta’s image has never settled on one true form. Her skin is slightly translucent, her outline appearing to seamlessly blend in with her surroundings. Due to her favouritism for humanity, her silhouette has always resembled that of a human’s, but the details change with every blink of the eye. Her face and her body constantly shift to resemble men and women that have exemplified great wisdom over the length of humanity: Philosophers, mathematicians, leaders, and revolutionaries. Even the common person can become her face, for wisdom touches everyone given enough time.

[PERSONALITY]

At first glance, Delta is the picture perfect epitome of demure and elegance. Her every movement is as graceful as it is calculated. Expect her choice of words to be no different: She has a flair of flowery speeches, but is always ready with a biting quip when the moment calls for it.


Nothing appears to faze her; even (or especially) the harshest insults seem to be a point of amusement for the lady. Do not expect to get a straight answer out of her. She enjoys dancing around words as much as she loves to learn what makes a person tick. After all, great stories are her Achilles’ heel, and humanity has always been a brilliant source of epic tales.

[ABOUT]

Humanity is Delta’s greatest weaknesses.

Could anyone blame her? The world was so dull before they came along.

She remembers a time before man. A peaceful time. A predictable time. Nature imposed its hierarchies, its rules, and the beasts of land and sea fell into perfect order.

When the humans first arrive, they are no different. They fight amongst themselves. They enslave each other. This, of course, is perfectly natural. Other creatures have been known to behave similarly.

And yet, over time, as the weakest of humanity fall, the strongest walk back to pick them up, to carry the weak on their backs. As the power-hungry seek to exploit the masses, others dare to throw revolutions. Every time nature attempts enforce the natural order -- it is strong against weak -- the best of humanity seems to stop and question: Why?

From the waters of her well, the goddess watches the tiny humans. They always seem to find a way to defy her expectations.

In the beginning, humanity recognises her existence. They burn offerings in her name, sing her hymns of praise. Vanity is Delta’s second greatest weakness, and their veneration flatter her beyond words.

In return, she offers them knowledge. This, she does not shout. Instead, she whispers knowledge into their ears, sneaks it into their dreams as they sleep at night. In the morning, the humans awake, and they discuss enthusiastically among themselves. Their minds contain a boundless wealth of ideas. ‘Eureka!’ They proclaim, unaware of the invisible force guiding them.

Eventually, humanity forgets about her, about her family. Her temples are abandoned; her monuments destroyed. They are no longer needed.

It takes time, but eventually, she learns to view the moment as a milestone -- something to be proud of. The child has learned to wean off their mother.

And yet, even as the child achieves independence, the mother cannot simply stop looking after them. It is only a matter of instinct. And when a threat looms over the child, it is only a matter of instinct that the mother’s perfectly poised mask finally falls away.

This time, she will not simply whisper.

~Zephyr~
God Of Change

"Sometimes in the wind of change, we find our true direction."

​

Name: Zephyr

Physical Age: Early 30's

Mental Age: Early 30's

Gender: Male

Height: 5'10"

Weight: 180lbs

Hair: Dark Brown- Shaved

Eyes: Light Brown

Build: Mesomorphic, Average

Complexion: Light Brown- Standard African American

Domain: Change
Elemental Affinity: Wind
Symbol: Eagle
Godly Appearance: Zephyr's truly reflects his domain. When the god first came into existence, he was nothing more than an orb swirling with every possible color known and unknown to his elder siblings. His voice was just as fluid as his appearance, switching between the voices of the other gods, for they were the only beings at the time. With time came more change, and that affects Zephyr's form. One moment he appeared similar to a sibling, the next a star, planet, or new creation of Lucian, always identified by the constant swirl of colors that served as a kind of canvas or background. However with the creation of mankind and creatures came a more consistent form. Humanity became the key influencers of earth and the favorite of many gods, including Zephyr, so the god's form turned humanoid. For as long as humanity has existed, he resembles a featureless human with the same endless swirls of colors. No ears, nose, mouth, hair, or individual toes. Only a bald human figure with two distinct orbs of yellow resembling the sun as eyes that every now and then adopted features of animals and other objects.
