Gods of Bay12
« on: June 03, 2013, 09:22:36 pm »

On a world, a minstrel began to tell his tale around a fire to the crowd. He began with creation. "In the beginning" He said "there was chaos, there was nothing and then from another world, there entered gods. Not your ethereal monotheistic gods, but polytheistic bickering deities, like humans but with immense powers." Now is your chance to be one of those gods, and to have a minstrel tell of your deeds.

This is my work to create a creation mythos based on you and your forum name.

Name: (variation on your forum name)
God of: (What are you the god of?)
Patron of: (what type of people pray to you for help? Hermes was god of messengers, thieves and merchants because they used the roads)
Animals: (what animals are sacred. Ex. Hera had peacocks)
Sacrifice: (how do you like sacrifices mad)
Origin: (how did you originate?)
Avatar: (What do you look like?)

I'll randomly choose 3 to be the most powerful gods (or goddesses), +4 to be the major 7 gods, and the rest will be minor gods.

Order of 7:
Neyravah, God of Nature (Chief God, +2)
Gamelord, Great God of Luck (+3)
The Master of Cheese, Great God of Farming (+3)
Chii'z Kaex, Great God of Baked Goods and Cannibalism (+3)
Cha-CHing, God of Greed (+2)
Ironeye, God of Progress (+2)
Bas Micelus, God of Rituals (+2)

Other Gods:
Wwolin, Father of the Gods, God of Preparedness (+2)
Kyle, God of Knowledge (+1)
Medras, God of Illusions (+1)
Xavanos, God of            (+2)
Kaferian, God of Wolves (+1)
Ma'clay, God of Power (+1)
Baldman, God of Death (+2)
Zanzetkuken, God of Sanity/Insanity (+1)
E. Low, God of Survival (+1)
Donkpoke, God of Mad Donks (+1)
Juren, God of Immortality (+1)
Skaavnhaelod, God of Festivals (+1)
The Producer, God of Theater (+1)
Ragi'nos, God of Secrets
The Player, God of Skill Games

Name: Wolin
God of: Preparedness and Readiness
Patron of: Spies, storytellers, and soldiers
Animals: Spiders. Because my boiler room is currently crawling with them... they're the size of my hand, and I'm not even in Australia.
Sacrifice: Animals are mummified long in advanced, to be burned whenever a sacrifice is needed.
Origin: The universe was created to be so ready for use that it even came with a god to start things off. That god is Wolin.
Avatar: Like my forum image, but carrying a briefcase full of things. Because nothing says "prepared" like a briefcase full of things.

Well I can't top that, but when I hear my mom scream from downstairs, my first reaction has become "where's the palmetto bug?"

The darkness was eternal, all-powerful, unchangeable.
She had stared into it for to many years, alone and unblinking, determined that it would not take her.
Now it never would.
Now she was lighting a candle.

Name: Xavanos
God of: The Void
Patron of: Anarchists. The soulless. Those who lack something and will do anything to get it back pray to the god of the void.
Animals: Anything that lurks in dark and deep places.
Sacrifices: The sacrifice must be cast into a void. Any kind will do.
Origin: Xavanos has always existed, even when it has not. It is the god of lacking presence, and thus has always been and will always be wherever there is space. And where there is not, it will be there too.
Avatar: Xavanos strides across the works wreathed in the exact opposite of a form - it is a space with a lack of anything, even space, within it that Xavanos manifests as.

There are no rituals, no stories, no sacred things.

There is only the void.

Because everyone else got multiple things to be patron to and I like demihumans. And how are you patron to spies as well as the other guy?
