Let's Pretend We're Gods

[SterlingStars]

Kirina, Goddess of Forests

She is often said to be a calm and silent god, only to be stirred up by a someone disrespecting the forests. She tends to the sick trees and nurtures the saplings. Sometimes forests have popped up overnight because of her. Kirina can be found sitting on a largr boulder in the glade, playing her flute.

Kirina’s appearance is often said to look like what we call Mother Earth. A woman with leaves flowing from where her hair should be and wearing a flowercrown. Her dress is made from moss, and she holds a flute that plays and eerie, ominous tune. That tune is said to be a warning to not anger her.

Uja, God of

[Skreemre]

Uja, god of fruit and fertility.
In many folklore Uja is referred to as the god of spring, the force behind the opening of buds to the waking of creatures. A god of great ability and control over the early growth and activity of the springtime. Those who have studied the ambiguous history behind his name know this not to be true. Uja, instead, is simply a judge. As soon as the energy surges through all living things at the brim of winter, Uja studies and evaluates each and every organism and chooses which is ready to bear fruit or children of it's own each year. This truth is widely rejected by Magi because, all respect aside, it seems pathetic of a God so frequently mentioned in the early writings to have such a mere task. However, without his keen judgement every year children would be born to parents incapable of care, fruit would be grown with little resources to aid its quality, harvests would come back largely impure to farmers who spent moons caring for every growing crop, offspring will be weak and destined to never reach adulthood. Uja's keen monitoring each spring ensures that the valuable energy that courses through our world each year is never wasted, and each new life is as pure and strong as it should be, and none suffers a painful task they are not suited to.

Kampuul, god of

[redryne]

Kampuul, god of shadows.

He who loves to hide the good and the bad in the shadows- a fickle trickster god, one regarded cautiously. He cannot be called on, he is unreliable. He will choose to bestow his favour on whomever he likes, with indifference to whatever intentions they may hold. Once he covers you with his shadows, you will not be found until he wills it. He is a god regarded by mortals to be 'morally grey', sometimes helping the weak, sometimes shielding the wicked.

His entire mastery over shadows is unknown. He can manipulate all shadows- even those of other gods and goddesses, yet he does not have a shadow himself. Where his powers originated, none know. He is a god known to hide away for long periods of time until the world has forgotten him- and he will once more appear to wreck havoc for some time before fading away again.

The most well-known tale of this elusive god is argued and debated by mages: it tells of when the world was young and the gods were only just rousing. Kampuul was a god who was once steadfast and determined to correct the wrongdoings of humans, but his interests clashed with the goddess of chaos, the mother of monsters: Lillith. The two came to a head in a clash that the other gods could and would not interfere with- twenty-thousand years of cold, hard war.

Eventually, the newly-made goddess of death had enough and stepped in between the two. No-one knows exactly what happened, or how the cataclysmic war suddenly ended just like that. In the aftermath, humans now had a life limit, Lilith was subdued for centuries, and Kampuul... changed. He seemed to have lost his moral compass and his original personality, almost if he'd become an entirely new god.

The gods leave him alone in pity, so that is why they never do anything when he is involved.

oof that was long

Urasue, goddess of

[SadGhost]

Urasue, goddess of sea monsters.
This goddess is believed to lurk in the depths of the Mariana Trench, waiting for the great Cthulhu to rise and take the world with her and the other Great Ones by his side. She is often depicted to be a large leviathan type being, larger than any known creature, often surrounded by millions of monstrous minions. She is very important to the Children Of The Sea, who worship her by sacrificing land animals to the depths and taking hours long swims. They believe that if they are in her good graces, then when she rises she will grant them god-like/goddess-like powers and keep them from the cold grasp of death.

I hope I did this right... (Also I made a figure for her)

Maloif, gender undecided

[NovaAurora]

Let's give this a shot. I hope I did it right!

Maloif, god/goddess of mischief, malevolence, trickery, change and fluidity. This deity watches over the changing of seasons, and is as fluid and ever changing as the things they represent. When they are not watching over the changing seasons, they are often pulling pranks on others, some harmless, some less so. Their form is always shifting, always changing, however they are most often depicted as either a massive, mammalian beast the size of a mountain with millions of legs of all kinds of animals, or as a child with their eyes sewn shut. They have no fixed gender, and have been depicted as both male and female. They are most worshipped by thieves or farmers, however there are rumours of a cult being formed around them. Their existence is not very well known outside of these groups, however they are prayed to for swift, peaceful changes in seasons by farmers or for safety and skill by thieves.

Moraidra, Goddess of

[Smams19]

Moraidra, goddess of space and entities. This goddess is always watching over the paranormal when day becomes night. She makes sure the entities only go after who deserves them. It is rare for a ghost, shadow person, or poltergeist to attack where they shouldn't. Moraidra then turns them into stars. Each star was once a misbehaving entity, who is now forced to spectate over the other entities with Moraidra.

She is often depicted as a shadow beast when she comes down to Earth, and it is not good if you see her. She deals with the people that did things seriously wrong, and depending on the severity of their wrongs, she kills them

Some people worship her out of fear, but many people worship her, hoping she will keep them safe, or reduce the severity of their crimes and wrongs.

Mellina, goddess of

[KindaKingdra]

Mellina, goddess of ambience.

Mellina is a lesser goddess, oft overlooked by worshippers. Her domain may be subtle, but it is vast. The sound of rain falling on a rooftop, the light of the sun as it fades over the horizon, the smell of wood burning in the fire you gather around. These small wonders are the grace of Mellina. Her essence is always present - and her curse is that you'd only notice it if it was gone.

A dedicated few humans pray regularly to Mellina and offer her libations of elderflower cordial in the temple they built in her name. The Church of Atmosphere, as it is called, is commonly mistaken for a temple to Moraidra the space goddess, due to the connotations of the word "Atmosphere". The followers of Mellina - a very private sect - seem to be in no hurry to correct that misconception.

If you would like to offer your appreciation to Mellina, it is best to skip physical idols. She is manifest is every natural beam of light - choose one and pray to it. Those who do this are sometimes blessed with added beauty in their everyday surroundings.

Anaizcha, Goddess of

[lemonissourUwU]

anaizcha, goddess of stars and wishes.

she watches over the stars for moraidra, keeping them in line and well behaved. she also listens to what people wish for when they see a shooting star, and try her best to fulfil them. the wishes manifest as animals, and are sent to make it come true. anaizcha's realm is separate from ours. there, she tends to her grove, and most importantly, the wishes that are too impossible to be fulfilled.

anaizcha is normally depicted as a dark blue doe, with stars dotting her pelt. on occasion, she is also a fierce lioness, protecting the dreams and wishes of others from spirits that want to cause chaos.'

even though she dosent have many worshippers, everyone prays to her to help their wish come true, and to guide the wish safely to its destination.

nedra and marya, twins gods of

[Villainouss]

Nedra and Marya, twins gods of chaos and calamity.

Young gods who mindlessly wield their power, Nedra and Marya destroy whatever they can, viewing the world and its people as toys for them to do with as they wish. This mentality has extended to their realm, a neglected and barren thing, only populated by screaming volcanoes and desecrated oceans; neither twin has any desire to see it restored. Thankfully, the overuse their powers sends them into a deep slumber that lasts millennia, allowing the world to rebuild after their reign of terror comes to an end.

The two are depicted as small children, adorned in gold and gems, and that are fused together at the hip. In many modern art pieces, they have been theorized to split apart, damaging their respective halves of the earth before coming back together to slumber for another several thousand years. And so far, these theories have been proven true through "twin" disasters of alternate elements happening at the exact same moment in time, only separated by their distance.

Considered minor gods by a majority of the world, yet major in the eyes of their devout followers, they are prayed to in a distinctly cultish manner. These followers pray to the twins diligently, sacrificing their food, and placing their headquarters and shrines next to so-called disaster hotspots around the world; these hotspots are places have either been hit before by Nedra and Marya's destruction or are located near dangerous natural landmarks such as volcanoes or large oceans prone to tsunamis. Any others who pray to these two do so out of fear, scared of whatever the two might do next, or, are those who desperately seek a bargain and desire destruction for their own personal gain.

Uth, god of

[MagicTeacup]

Uth, god of rest and burials.

An ancient god that has existed as long as humans have. He is said to be present in long shadows cast by the evening sun, the dark forgotten corners of crypts and cemeteries, as well as inside the cracks and chips of gravestones and urns. Any prayer said to him will always be a whisper, and will not to be heard by anyone other than Uth himself. For those that struggle to sleep at night he will gift a deep, undisturbed slumber; a taste of the eternal rest that is to come. He will be there, during all kinds of burial ceremonies to guide the one that has passed out from their uncomfortable flesh and to their final resting place. It is said that he has a soft spot for children, and will read a story or sing a lullaby to lull them gently to sleep whether it be one of their many rests or their final one.

Not many know of his existence. Those that have seen him in the corner of their eye describe him as a tall, lanky man adorned in robes woven from dust and grief. The fibers ever shifting like an eerie mist. His eyes are like two dark pits with swirling bits of silver, however they are neither cold nor unwelcoming. After all, they are filled with the dreams of both the living and the dead. Many see him with some kind of time keeping device. Whether that be an hourglass filled with silver sand, a prim silver pocket watch with a distinct ticking sound, a grandfather clock with a silver pendulum that had not been in that room before, or a slim modern wrist watch with a silver strap. All of them counting down, tracking time, to that fateful moment when your eternal rest will come.

Kiara, goddess of
