Name: Tether
Origin: Chose either 'Created'
Parents: Tory Smith: Tory Smith is a Worldly mage who specialized in enchanting. She brought me into existence by gathering lost souls from a cemetery and placing them in an enchanted container of string. She used her magic to merge the souls into one, which would become me. The strings became my body, which she shaped into an 8 legged creature she called a ‘spider’ and told me to never tell others about her, lest the gods curse her for making me. She told me that she wished to join us, so they couldn’t curse her without harming me. The last time she used her magic was to transfer her soul to me, joining all of us in a shared body and a shared mind.

Boons: These are divine powers/artifacts/minions created by the GM. Birthed Characters start with one boon from each of their parents. Created characters start with four boons, two from their parent, and two based on their backstory. Leave this blank for now.
Appearance: I am an approximately human sized spider made of white and black string. The white string is the majority of my body while the black strings make up my 8 legs and 2 eyes. Sometimes when it is dark, my eyes glow a faint blueish green
Personality: I try to teach people what I have learned, and am always willing to learn more. When meeting new entities, I sometimes have a habit of asking how many souls inhabit their body, forgetting that not everyone started out with multiple souls. I have learned to just assume one soul per body and usually skip the question, as it is a ‘weird’ question to ask. I try to socialize, though I tend to only talk with a few people at a time, as dealing with lots of people can temporarily cause us to split. Of course we are still in the same body, but some of us will remember some things that others might not remember. The splitting manifests as different souls talking to different people, which causes many to say z\I have multiple personalities, which I guess is true. When we split too much, where we all answer to different names, usually the groups asked us to leave, so we would find a quiet place to stay for a few days to reform into Tether
Goals/Beliefs: I want to be a goddess of peace, of agreement, of compromise. I want people to cooperate more instead of killing each other. I want people to talk, even if they disagree, to find a compromise that works for everyone.
Backstory: When Tory made me, she told me about the town we were in, Desconville. It was a small town. She was he only mage in town. She asked me to help her recruit apprentices, but that never worked. I told peopl that Tory found me while gathering materials for he work, and that she asked if I could help find Pelegrín for her to teach. I learned the hard way that spiders were disliked in Desconville, as were multiple souls sharing a body. I was called a monster, despite the fact I never hurt anyone. No amount of explaining that we were fine sharing an artificial body tirthrr quelled their fears. Unfortunately, some of them found out I was created by Tory, rather than found. I told Tory of this, and then she asked to live in my body with everyone else, and to hide her old body. I said yes, and she used her last magic spell to have her soul exit her body and enter mine. After she did this, I left her home with her body to bury her. The townspeople thought I killed her, so I ran out of town. I ran so far that I had no idea where Desconville was, not that I was planning to go back, it was just the only reference point I had. I ventually cam across a glowing liquid with a form stuck in it. It looked like it was in pain, so I tried to help her out of it, but she told me it needed to be inside her, so I helped her get the liquid inside, turning my front 2vlegs into a container to bring it to her which she poured into a hole in her side. I continued helping her by pouring the glowing liquid into her. After this, she began to heal as I made the container back into 2 legs. When she healed, which surprisingly took only a few minutes, she gave me a glowing orb and told me if I eat it, I will get divinity, as a reward for helping her. I thanked her and asked if she could teach me how to use my newfound divine powers, at which point she mentioned the academy. She was apparently a student there and ended up injuring herself when trying to summon a sword of pure light. She gave me a copy of her application with a blank application on the back, which I filled out. Another deity came shortly after I was done filling out the application. He asked us what happened, at which point we explained what happened. He mentioned that he would take the student back to the academy. I handed him my application and asked if I could go to learn how to use my newly acquired powers. We were both taken to the academy.
