Name: Saint Meoboroje of the Aegis
Role: God
Sphere: Protection from the Divine
Appearance: Saint Meoboroje is humanoid in appearance, and indeed looks almost human, save for the occasional plate of natural armor along the body: the sides of his heads, for example, contain not ears but are instead covered by semi-metallic demi-spheres sunken into his head, and the fronts of his legs and arms have similar plates on them. Most of these plates have a crack or cracks spread throughout them, though they are no less sturdy for it. Saint Meoboroje almost always appears in chainmail, with a longsword strapped by his hip. The most important thing he has is his Aegis: a large shield, it appears to be cracked into many, many pieces... though each piece remains in the shield and the shield remains whole.
Personality: Saint Meoboroje possesses a few key traits that are the reason he is in the form he is, the reason he ever became more than a simple guard: The urge to protect those under danger from the more powerful runs in like him like blood. While this does lead to perseverance, bravery, and selflessness, Meoboroje is far from perfect. He is frequently stubborn to the point of outright ignorance, insisting that his way is the only way and outright acting as if alternate solutions do not exist. He is also very impatient and prone to getting angry, and probably would have engaged in many feuds in his former universe if not for the fact that the ascendants of Emotion and Intelligence typically would rein him in... how he does without them is yet to be seen.
Description: Saint Meoboroje of the Aegis was a mortal once, a simple mortal guard living in one of the larger mortal cities in the universe. His race had been created by a trio of Gods (Emotion, Honor, and Intelligence), and lived mostly unmolested except for their own mortal problems. Living as a guard, Meoboroje had been surprised along with the rest of the guard by one of these mortal problems: Bandits. They'd come upon the group in patrol, and when a fellow guardsman was wounded, Meoboroje threw himself into the path of the weapons, guarding the man with his life and his body.
The God of Honor was impressed by the actions of Saint Meoboroje, and decided him a worthy recipient of something he had been working on: The Aegis. This divine shield made Meoboroje an Ascendant, a defender of the people, and this role he served for about two centuries, helping shepherd the people (along with the fellow Ascendants from Emotion and Intelligence) into a beautiful golden age, the height of their prosperity.
It wasn't destined to last. His world was peaceful, but elsewhere war raged, cosmic beings fought and strived and eventually... cosmic beings died. The end of the Kalpa approached, and the Ancient appeared. Emotion, Honor, and Intelligence worked together to allow their species to escape, which culminated in a grand vessel built, which was to sail outside of the universe, to a shielded part of the Abyss. Saint Meoboroje was on this vessel like the other Ascendants... and when the vessel was nearly escaped, the Ancient finally gave chase, rearing back to strike down the ship with a single, mighty physical blow.
Saint Meoboroje leaped off of the vessel. He channeled every single bit of his meager divine power, the power he had been saving, into the Aegis. He blocked the blow with his body. And though the power of an Ascendant is pitiful compared to the power of an Ancient, it was enough to prevent the blow from striking down the vessel, which escaped unharmed. Meoboroje himself was somewhat less lucky, initially: His Aegis was shattered, he was shattered, and he was sent flying out unprotected and at high speeds into the Void.
The nature of the Void and the nature of his own semi-divinity caused a strange reaction... Meoboroje awoke after countless eons to find the shield whole, if not undamaged... much like himself. But more importantly, he awoke as something more than an Ascendant: a God, in a newly reborn universe.
