God of Secrets, Silence, and Lost Things

0 · 364 views · located in Late Medieval.

a character in “Gods; A New Age.”, as played by Oran Tarlin

Description

God Name:
Grumpsh
Title:
A Single Lonely Soul
Gender:
Genderless, perceived as Male
Alignment:
Neutral
God Appearance:
Grumpsh appears as a man, usually broad and fat and jolly, but sometimes youthful and strong, muscled and slender. He is, regardless, crowned by antlers and usually depicted as having skin marked with tattoos or blue skin or somehow otherworldly looking, but to the deities he looks very human. Grey eyed he blinks slowly and knowingly. He has a tremendous strength, but always moves slowly, even when he appears with all the beauty of a chaotic, strong youth, he still moves slowly and carefully like an old man. He wears a simple grey robe that makes no sound when it billows. His belt has an inkstone and calligraphy brush for when
Personality:
Grumpsh is a perpetually happy, albeit stoic deity. He rarely smiles, but never speaks with anything less than an air of bliss. This disconnect produces a great air of sadness. His inconceivable age gives him authority that he never seems to call upon. He is well liked amongst the gods because, as God of Secrets, is as close to omniscient as a deity can come, but he is universally adored because he keeps his secrets absolutely. He can speak knowingly with gods burdened with unspeakable secrets, and he never passes judgment. In the past he has been subjected to attacks and torture by other deities, but never buckled. However, he is not a vengeful

Opinion of mortals:
"The voice of life in me cannot reach the ear of life in you; but let us talk that we may not feel lonely."
"Do not the spirits who dwell in the ether envy man his pain?"
"Strange that we all defend our wrongs with more vigor than we do our rights. Should we all confess our sins to one another we would all laugh at one another for our lack of originality. Should we all reveal our virtues we would also laugh for the same cause."
"You are blind and I am deaf and dumb, so let us touch hands and understand."

God’s Domain:
Grumpsh's domain is a place of serenity and calm above all else. It is fields and mountains and streams to roll on forever, and marked by all the scattered ruins that no longer exist in the mortal realm. Anything that is lost forever in the mortal plane appears here, though there is no real distinction for what is lost. Where on earth you see the ruined bases of pillars and foundations made of blocks of stone, in Grumpsh's realm these things are absent, and the crowns and roof hover effortlessly, pristine as they were at their peak. The weather is like it is on earth, sometimes too hot, sometimes too cold, and it is a very human place. Things seem to live and die there.

There are, however, no birds, no insects, nothing living. The entire realm is silent, but it is a warm silence, the silence of an empty home just before the lady of the house steps in, the silence of a night spent thinking, or a knowing embrace. The sense of yearning, that the silence precedes something, can be maddening.

Other:

Grumpsh is an old quiet deity, who keeps to himself and whose appearance is always in flux. He paces his realm in quiet, and commands few followers. Nemea is extremely possessive of him, as Goddess of Gossip she is technically a subsidiary of his, though they are not alike.

Grumpsh commands no following of his own, and was, for a long time, worshiped only by the Dendapim as part of a trinity with Nemea and being worshiped by the Dwarves. In the time after the war with Apollyon, Grumpsh has a dedicated following scattered across many nations, despite having very little actual religious literature about him, and not revealing an avatar (it is, obviously, a secret). Though there are conspiracies that Grumpsh-followers form a powerful secret society, this is ludicrous and has no founding. The logistics are just insane. There are, however, many poets who claim Grumpsh as a muse.

So begins...
