|Physical description of preferred forms|
Rasoc's appearance is that of a hooded dark figure. Wearing a tattered dark faded green robe with a dark flexible chest armor, a large leather sash belt adorned with runes and a single skull, wearing dark leg armor, dark gauntlets, black straps around his biceps that slightly reveals the color of his skin. Rasoc also wears shoulder pauldrons adorned with runes and multiple skulls, a deep dark hood and cloth that masks most of his face. All except for his glowing eyes that are the color of a caustic green. With skin that is a sickly grey color and a muscular body, build for war.
His face, angular yet masculine with well defined cheekbones, an Aquiline shaped nose, thin upper lip with a slightly fuller lower lip, almond shaped eyes and short spiked jet black hair. In each ear are 4 piercings adorned, all a dark red copper color. Though he can change his face into a more skull like appearance if he wishes. Despite this description, most of his fellow deities don't know how he looks under his hood and mask. One of the few who does is his twin brother Hazarmaveth. The other is his daughter Pyrexus.
|Preferred Gender|
Male
|Means of godhood|
Rasoc has existed since the beginning of time and is likely one of the eldest Gods next to the Primordial Gods.
|Personality|
The best ways to describe Rasoc is; silent, mysterious, patient and observant. Rasoc is a god who's usually silent as the grave, unless he has anything to say of course. And although silent, he does speak once in a while with his fellow deities and sometimes to his Champion(s) and High Priests. He is possibly the most patient of all the deities, as he's been there since the beginning. Watching, waiting for mortals to die and wither, for nations to break into war, for kingdoms to rise and fall. Claiming the souls of the people who sinned for his realm, to lead the mortals into battle. He also enjoys taking long walks in his realm, observing the suffering souls in the Nether and watching his servants as they either cower or bow down in his presence.
|Worshiped by|
Warriors, Murderers, Assassins, Necromancers, Cultists and some corrupt people of power. But not exclusively for these types of people. He can be worshiped by anyone who is willing.
|Symbol|
|Divine weapon|
Ronghar od Maun, or just Ronghar. Ronghar is Rasoc's scythe and translates to Harvester of Souls. As the name indicates, this is the scythe that he uses to harvest the souls of the living and dead. Sending them straight to his realm, where they will either serve him or suffer for all eternity.
|Blessings|
Power of the Undead
Power of the undead is a blessing bestowed upon his Champion(s), specific Disciples and High Priests of Rasoc. It gives the ability to summon up to 10 armed undead skeletons, zombies or ghouls to do the individuals bidding and fight for them.
Boon of Immortality
Boon of immortality is a rare blessing, only bestowed upon mortals that are highly favored by the God of Death. Which is usually only Champions and High Priests of Rasoc. It grands the individual immortality, however this blessing can also be removed by Rasoc if he so wishes.
|Curses|
Death's Touch
Death's Touch is a curse that makes the cursed individual unable to touch anything without killing it. They will never be able to touch their loved ones, food, animals or any of the sort as they will just die, while instantaneously rot and wither away. The individual is doomed to a life without physical contact and food, until they starve to death.
The Rat Plague
The Rat Plague is a curse Rasoc created, but doesn't use.
It's commonly used by Witches, Cultists or other mortals who wants to curse a person or a town. The curse starts out with hitting the target(s) with a fever, that slowly turns into blisters of rot covering the whole body, killing the target(s) within the span of 1-2 months. The dead bodies attracts the rats, that in turn eats away the bodies. Erasing all remnants of the plague, so that it doesn't spread beyond the individual or town that the curse was intended for.
|Realm|
Cyeth.
Realm of the Dead. Cyeth is a realm covered in old ruins and forest, only illuminated by the ever present green moon and the occasional wisps that lurk in the deep undergrowth of the forest and in few abandoned ruins. Rasoc's temple is situated in the middle of it all, overlooking the realm. The temple is only accessible through stairs of all kinds, bridges, ledges and platforms. Because down below in the deepest parts of Cyeth called the Nether, is the home of the souls of sinners that suffers for all eternity.
The temple is adorned with green moss, vines and other plants, growing wild. A large skull acts as a waterfall gateway, a large gate like structure is situated on top of the temple. As the temple seems small, it is not to be underestimated. Inside the temple is a door that leads into the mountain, which the temple has been carved into. Revealing a large hall supported by pillars reaching high, in the middle is Rasoc's throne. A throne decorated with runes, skulls and bones. Designed in an intricate runic pattern in a steel like metal. To the sides are more doors that lead to rooms of great variety. One of them being his library.
|Most notable creation|
Other than the Rat Plague, Rasoc does not really "create" things.
|Preferred form of worship|
Blood Sacrifices, Death rituals and the so called Night of the Dead. Night of the Dead is the yearly celebration of the dead, where many mortals honor the dead with a big festival during the evening and night. Where they feast, drink and sing to honor the deceased and to pray to Rasoc and his twin brother. They sing the traditional song O'Death as they sacrifice a chosen mortal in honor of them, believing that it will appease them and spare them from war, decease and death. Until the next celebration.
While Rasoc honestly doesn't care much about this celebration, he does however show himself during this night. As a lurking shadow, ever observing of the festivities. And any mortal who sees him during this time of year, are titled Death's favored ones. (Not by him though.. He doesn't care..)
