Ok, here they are again, i wrote them up before and they mysteriously vanished. If they disappear again i will be very upset
WORSHIP:
It is done in temples, a separate temple of separate gods. They are decorated as fits the corresponding deity. NORMALLY citizens devote themselves to one, maybe to gods, but rarely ALL of them.
FOLLOWER ABILITIES:
You do not gain these abilities by believing in or casually worshiping the god, you must be a completely devoted servant.
NOTE!!!!!: I AM KALIBA! No if's and's or but's. Kaliba will be my character when she is needed to NYA!!!
NOTE 2: All gods are adoptable NPC's at this point, except Kaliba. To adopt a god please copy the profile of the one you want and post it along with the reason you want that god and a sample post. I will decide whether you are worthy or not
NOTE 3: Gods DO NOT interact with Keshia in any significant way.
NOTE 4: ALL GODS HAVE HUMAN FORMS. IF I HAVEN'T INCLUDED THEM, THE ADOPTER CAN.
THE MINOR GODS:
Name: Kia
Rank: Minor goddess of Light and Life
Depiction: A globe of light or an Egyptian ahnk. (For those of you who dont know, its the Egyptian symbol for life)
About: Her twin brother Dia is her complete opposite. He is the god of Death and Darkness. Suprisingly they cant live without each other.
Name: Dia
Rank: Minor God of Death and Darkness
Depiction: Almost always a bat.
About: His twin sister Kia is his complete opposite. She is the goddess of Light and Life. Surprisingly they cant live without each other.
Name: Dro'shanjii
Rank Dethroned god of theft and trickery
Depiction: He's a Ferlasan, the first Ferlasan.
About: He was tricked by his mother Mua into having intercourse with her. The result was a new race that looked much like himself, feline humanoid. They turned to him for worship and this angered Mua. She banished Dro'shanjii to the lower parts of the nether realm, and because of the gods decree all other people ignore the god and his followers are forced to practice their worship in secret.
THE MAJOR GODS:
Name/s: Gaia, Mother Gaia, Mother Earth, Mother Nature
Rank: Goddess of Earth
Depiction/s: She is depicted as an extravagantly antlered doe, a ancient tree entangled with vines. But most commonly as an unnaturally tall woman of dazzling beauty. She has pale skin and deep red lips. Her hair is long and wavy, extremely dark green in colour. She wears a hooded green cape over a leaf bra and skirt. Sometimes in this form she is shown holding a child to depict her motherhood over humanity.
About: Gaia is the most motherly of the gods, she cares for the animals and plants of Keshia. She is believed to be the wife of Tahu and mother of all the lesser gods. It is commonly believed she gave birth to humanity too.
Followers: Gaia's followers are known for their love of nature and ability to speak with animals and grow plants well.
Name/s: Tahu, Lord Tahu, Lord Fire
Rank: God of Fire
Depiction/s: He is always shown as a gladiator style warrior with crimson red armour and a sword of flames.
About: He is believed to be the husband of Gaia and father of the lesser gods but not humanity. He is feared for his power which he isn't afraid to display in spectacular fashion, in the form of fires and volcanoes.
Followers: His followers are renowned for their ability to manipulate fire for the pleasure of others, and passionately believe 'Lord Tahu's gift should be shared with his people.'
Name/s: Sadi, Lady Sadi, Ocean mistress
Rank: Goddess of water
Depiction/s: Unknown
About: Not much is known about Sadi, she is calm and forgiving as the ocean.
Followers: Sadi's followers are known for their philosophical outlook on life and are mostly all mer people, though sometimes she has land dwelling devotees.
Name/s: Thyr, Lord Thyr, Sky Master
Rank: God of the air/sky
Depiction/s: Depicted as a storm cloud or a man with a snowy white beard and an orb in each hand.
About: Thyr is not worshiped much now a days, so little is remembered of him and his temples always seem to be empty.
Followers: Thyr's few remaining worshipers are as secretive as their lord and do not worship publicly.
Name/s: Belenos, Lord Belenos, Father time
Rank: God of time
Depiction/s: He is depicted as an hourglass or a concealed robed figure with an hourglass in one hand and a sundial in the other.
About: He is widely worshiped and is believed to be the love affair of Gaia and therefore father of humanity.
Followers: Belenos' followers are known to have an uncanny grasp on the concept of time and are known to manipulate it for those their lord deems worthy.
Name/s: Kaliba
Rank: Goddess of Magic (earthly guardian of the sanctuary)
Depiction/s: She wears a long purple cape and is the most beautiful and wise woman in the world, rivaled only by Gaia.
About: Kaliba's followers have abandoned her, her temples lay forgotten, only some elves cling to her importance... but their prayers steadily stay unanswered. Tahu knew the magic in Keshia would die with its people without Kaliba's magic so he sent her to earth to create a haven of magic. It is there she stays, waiting for the one who will bring her people back to her, searching for the gift that they had lost sight of.
Followers: When she had some they were known for their uncanny abilities with magic of all sorts and longevity.
Name/s: Mua, Lady Mua, Lady Truth
Rank: Goddess of Truth
Depiction/s: She is depicted as a feather or an old woman with a feather headdress.
About: She is not a widely worshiped Goddess, even though everyone knows her. She created the Ferlasan's by tricking her son Dro'shanjii into having intercourse with her (Gods are allowed incest XD) She hoped they would be a more reliable and truthful race... she was wrong. The Ferlasan's abandoned Mua and turned to worship Dro'shanjii. In her anger Mua banished Dro'shanjii and created the Jakoid's, her final try and a truthful race.
Followers: Mostly Jakoid's, they're known for their inability to lie and their hate of anyone who lies or cheats.
