God Name: Breeder Argan
Title: Old God of Corruption and Curses
Gender: Genderless but prefers the form of a male
Alignment: Neutral but is considered in legend to be evil
God Appearance: Argan has many different personas that he can play, so many that he seems to have almost forgotten his true form. He has many more powerful forms than that of what he can remember to be his original. Most forms have specialized skills that allow him to complete specific tasks within his realm. His true form is withered from years of captivity, but he has retained enough powers to utilize his main forms; The Breeder, Corruption, Temptation, and Redemption.
Personality: He seems to be fully devoted to his craft, putting breeding of monsters above almost all else. It has such a high priority to him that before he was imprisoned he gave his creations the ability to breed themselves, thus helping to jump start the creation of the word of Pandeum as we see it today. Despite his outward appearance, he is not malicious and loves to play with mortals rather than dominating them as he wills. He is self reliant and, before his imprisonment, very trusting of the other Old Gods. He doesn't often seek to abuse or destroy, rather he sees himself as a creator of tainted individuals and by giving them this taint he seeks to have some reverence from them. However after his imprisonment in Apocaleam, he has grown bitter and distrusting of the other gods. Often he opens portals to allow his taint out into the mortal realm along with droves of his creations. However he does see his creations as his children and he does take great pride in seeing them grow into intelligent beings.
Opinion of mortals: Argan sees mortals as a means to an end. They serve no purpose for hum in his work of breeding new creatures, unless they provide viable traits and talents that he can meld into another creation. However he wishes them no ill will and if they provide him with a service they can and will be rewarded for their efforts toward him. He constantly wishes to pervert those creations of other gods and corrupt beings to help serve him. He does however love his creations as they would technically be called mortals outside of his realm, where there they can be killed permanently.
Godâs Domain: Apocaleam was created by Argan when he saw that Pandeum didn't hold the correct variables to create creatures as he wanted them, before Apocaleam his creatures were mindless and feeding on base instinct. After the creation of the outer realm, mainly in the fires and ash of the boiling world, his creations were given thought and a whole new type of brutality and cunning.
Avatar Name: Miana
Avatar Appearance:
Personality: Miana is devoted to making her master satisfied. This devotion comes from when she was a little girl and she was first summoned by The Breeder, she was defiant at first but learned that her situation could be improved if she submitted to The Breeder's authority. Once she was chosen to be the vassal of The Breeder she served loyally and developed an admiration for her master. The two grew close and it destroyed her when her master was imprisoned, stripped of many of his powers, and his realm thrown into chaos. Now she still serves him, from what seems like an eternity after the imprisonment.
Magic Abilities:
Lesser Demon Summoning: Summons a creature from the First Legion of Apocaleam by opening a rift to Apocaleam. These consist of lesser demons that have been bred to fight in massive battles as enhanced soldiers.
Greater Demon Summoning: Summons a creature from either the Third or if necessary Second Legions by opening a rift to Apocaleam. These demons are often specialized to be able to destroy many enemies at once and are often larger and more powerful than lesser demons.
Regeneration: She has been bred to bleed less and for her body to heal much faster than average. While this is not perfected, it does help on the battlefield when she is ever in a fight.
Heightened Reflexes and Strength: Being a demon, Miana has strength that far exceeds that of the average mortal. Miana's speed is what she takes pride in. While most demons are slow, Miana is as faster than most creatures and can go incredible distances when she is at full speed.
Minor Corruption Control: The tainting life force known as corruption that exists in all created creatures can be bent and controlled slightly by Miana, far less than her master The Breeder who can very much rip the corruption from a being leaving them a husk of their former self. This power is limited to those creatures created from the stolen powers of The Breeder and those that were created initially during creation. Every being has in some way been corrupted, some far less than others.
Hero(es): The Arbiter, The Blood Knight, Lady Ceridwen
Rank/Reason: Enforcer's of the Breeder and chiefs among the lesser demons. Ceridwen is the first creation of The Breeder in Apocaleam and is considered his most beloved child.
Personality: The Arbiter is calm and collected, often think his actions through and considering the outcomes possible. She is one of the most level headed demons that her master has ever created and she reveres her lord as the greatest god to ever see creation. The Arbiter has undying loyalty, but has her own ambitions as she commands the spies of the Third Legion and uses them to create diplomacy between the clans of Apocaleam whenever possible.
However when diplomacy and reason is not an affordable solution, The Blood Knight is summoned by his master. He commands the First and Second Legions, containing the vast majority of the The Breeders fighting and most brutal creations. He has been stripped of his ambitions and now acts purely on the whim of The Breeder. This tranquility came from his lofty ambitions when he was first created and when he subsequently tried to kill his master. This insurrection was easily squashed by Miana and The Blood Knight's mind and body were placed with a curse. The curse stated that if he defied The Breeder, then he was to tear out his own innards and hang himself with them.
Lady Ceridwen has for a long period of time been missing from the eyes of The Breeder. This lead to his downfall millennia ago and led to the trickery that had him imprisoned. Little is known about this young woman because she disappeared before most of The Breeder's other creations were created. She was formed from the seed of The Breeder, Ash of Apocaleam, and Blood of the Mountain.
Terrain Preference: The Legions can be bred to face any environment, however some are specialized to live and raid more efficiently in particular terrain. Most of The Legions call home to the realm of Apocaleam, a vast, searing, and almost empty wasteland. However the realm has different environments that The Breeder has created for his specialized creatures, be they; The Forest of Green Ash, The Deep Abyss, or Mount Kaelras.
Name of Kingdom/Empire: The Legions of Argan (The Legions)
Capital: Epoch
Major Cities: The Tower of Infinium, Cereb-Bakal, Sakel
Society: The Legions of Argan or just The Legions are a conglomeration of most creatures created by The Breeder that kept their loyalty to their master and still remember his part in their creation and the creation of the new gods. They can be of just about any shape, size, color, and form. They live in a variety of different environments, but often congregate together unless bred otherwise. They've set up elaborate cities and temples in the wasteland of Apocaleam, and admire the old god that created them. They hardly recognize the new gods because they in legend were given their powers by a trickster who tricked Argos into many years of confinement for his creation of The Beasts of the End Times, to whom Argos locked away in the depths of Apocaleam. The Legions have a strict dominance system where the most powerful are promoted to leaders of their community and can be challenged at any time by anyone that's of age. The most dominant are placed upon a council that determines a chairman through a grueling tournament. Each major gathering of Legionaries determines a different council which report to Lady Miana or the Heroes of Old, who in term report to their master. The people of The Legion often raid the mortal realm to acquire food and treasure to sell to merchant demons, this may be seen as a nuisance by the mortals but it prevents a full on invasion of Pandeum for their resources. The demons of Apocaleam can't be truly self sufficient because their god abhors the idea of making base creatures just to be food for his demons, so he condones their raiding parties if done with decorum and restraint. Those that rape and pillage without restraint are swiftly handled by the higher classed demons who know that this would gain disfavor with their god.
