Description

Image

Name: Ulm, The First Giant, Allfather of Giants, Patron of Titans, The Ascendant, The Firstborn, The Stonefather, The Ancestor Body, The Divine Pariah.

Gender: Hermaphrodite.

Appearance: Ulm is the First Giant, a being created by the laws and voices of gods, born from primordial flesh. He is what we would call a humanoid and one of immense size, dwarfed only by the highest pillars of creation. His stone-like skin is slightly orange in tone and is marked by scars formed in his creation. His physiology is a strange blend of male and female, having features from both genders. Though he looks slightly malnourished, he has a impressive muscular structure. The sclera of his eyes is black and his irides are gold in colour. He has a stern and grim face and long black hair.

Personality: Ulm is a primeval giant, a strange blend of divine and mortal origin. He is driven by ambition and desire to know more. His relationship to the powers that be is a thing of uncertainty. He aspires to be the highest of gods.

Abilities: Ulm is created from a primordial mass of molten stone, thus it is the only thing he can tap into. His hands are the ones that shall mold the flesh and muscle of mortals.

Position: Pretender God of Stone, Flesh and Entropy, Controller of Primal Mass, Molded Creatures and Mortal Bodies.

So begins...

Like a born infant screaming for the sheer horror of being alive, a hot molten mass started to struggle itself free from a prison of rock. It twisted and pulsated, trying to form a solid body for itself from primeval flesh. Accompanied by a cacophany of noise, a steaming, strong-featured figure rose from a dark chasm which it tore into the rocky planet from whence it came. The giant let out a deep roar, before looking around and trying to understand what it was looking at.
As far as his grim eyes could see, he saw green. He saw tall green things, and much to his annoyance they didn't taste good either. He could not see anything or anyone else in this wretched plane, and thus he sat down and started to ponder the principles of his existence. He looked above, only to see vibrant colours that brought no answers to him. He was seemingly alone in this world.

He had to be the first.

It had been some time since The Beginning, five days to be precise. While the deities played it had been hard at work. Deep in a trance down in the darkness of the void it wove the lines which sprawled from a single route of this reality into a realm of It's own, a realm not of the physical realm like the others but of the mind. It was a place of rest where thoughts and images could play and entertain the mind while it recuperates. The others will call it Dream or so it foresaw.

This world was well ahead of the world that was currently starting to form. Life had already bloomed, forests and jungles covering the lands. Unlike the material world time was more flexible, features of the past mingling with prospects of the future. What the world the other deities were building would look like the realm of Dream already was.


Of course, of the paths it saw them take one particular happening perplexed it. Back before the world that's becoming even was there was a deity who desired death and destruction enough to kill his own son. That's not what was confusing to it. What was confusing was the numerology. "Why six?" It asked itself. It was a rather good question, one it lacked an answer to for once. It would have assumed it a result of preference but he didn't seem to have had conscious control over the event which formed his realm. It just seemed to pan out that way. How odd.

He was of little matter now though. Right now something else had caught it's attention. A rather unique life form was born from the surface of the planet. Unlike them it was born from the creation, not of The Beginning. It was not like the life born of the number fixated one but closer to them in many ways. With sentience this enigma of flesh had an interesting mind. It's greatest feature was it's curiosity. It had few paths now but the possibilities were numerous indeed. It decided it most interesting to open up a couple and see where they take it.

As it had given it something interesting to contemplate it decided to give the flesh being something interesting in return. It didn't even need to be even remotely close to it to bestow these gifts of knowledge for it's mind reached far and it was not content with having itself be seen unless the paths which that action would set it upon were truly fascinating. As of this moment they weren't so it didn't.


First it granted the primeval flesh giant knowledge of the goddess of life itself, Selka. Should the knowledge carry through as the most likely line foretells It could now know exactly who she was, what she was and for the briefest of moments exactly where she resided currently. A most interesting conversation is yet to be had. It savored the idea of hearing what they had to speak about. The possibilities were now expanded exponentially.

Secondly it granted the flesh clad giant a gift of it's own. Improving upon it's cognisance it attempted to grant the giant the ability to know exactly how long it's been alive, right down to the second. Should the gift carry through as the most likely line foretells it would forever on know it's exact age.

Then came the moment to observe, to witness the events it had set forth.

With no warning, Ulm's mind was plagued by visions, inflicting stinging pain strong enough to make him let out a long and deep grunt. His thoughts haunted by the warped image of a creature of light with constantly changing lengths of hair and colors of clothes. He collapsed on the ground and tried to force the thoughts out of his head, smashing his fists towards the ground and woods below, cracking and moving the ground.

Then he stopped.

He looked at the skin of his fists, craggy and fleshy in texture. He was perturbed by the thought of his birth. He knew he was born just days ago, yet he felt like he had been here always. He stood up and tried to temper the pain of thought, and started to wander towards a grove he somehow knew the location of.

Sylva's head felt like it was pounding as her other half tried to gain control. She stood up and walked downstairs, exiting the tree. As she walked out into the forest her mental resistance wavered. Finally, she sat and leaned against a tree. "Okay brother, I give up, it's your turn." After saying this her body went limp as the two switched places. When Sylvanir took over, he atomatically decided that their current form was to weak for him. Standing, strong wood formed around the body, It covered it and then moved outward, first forming the chest, A couple of big branches formed out of the back as the front area developed a rib-like structure to add protection to the front. Then formed out large, thick, segmented arms ending in hands, which though it was humanlike, seemed to have longer fingers and relatively short thumbs. Then formed the thick legs which ended in what looked like roots at the end. All over this body formed veins, which partly hanged from the large torso, Last formed a head, which was semi circular and had horizontal slits near the front of it, intricate flowing designs etched into it, and many horns. When it finally formed, it stood on all 4 limbs. To test the body, Sylvanir charged at one of the smaller nearby trees, causing it to crack and fall. Sylvanir mentally smiled at his strength. Sylvanir lifted his head and, without a mouth, a loud roaring sound rang out as he declared his presence to the universe. He then mentally asked his sister to use her power to see through the trees and tell if any of the other beings were on the planet, Sensing two, she told him of their locations. Sylvanir then marked the directions she told him of in his mind, planning to see them soon. He then set off on a run through the forested planet.

Selka's children laughed, grew, prospered, and otherwise lived in this new world, their population boomed as children had children, which had children, and so-on and so-forth. The goddess remained in their first community, a large city which was built from the lumber of the forest, the stones of the great planet, and crystals of Gira. Their mother was happy, knowing that her children had done so much for themselves, turning select plants docile and domesticated, providing food for the vegetarian satyrs. They built shrines to their mother, and the other gods as well, somehow their tiny and short-lived minds had at times comprehended the existence of greater beings, the greatest of these temples were to herself, the god of forges, and a god of the forest. She was perplexed about her little ones and their devotion to gods that she had never even seen before, perhaps their mere existence influenced her babies. She shuddered at the thought, if they could influence her children for the better, than could the other gods, including the dreadful Abaddon, hurt them as well?

This thought was buried, she felt the pangs of another god and something lesser... It frightened her, greatly. Her children were fragile things, she would not dare let anyone harm them. She descended from a non-existent throne the lied high-above the first city of her children, and she touched down on the firm earth below. Her satyrs dropped their lives and attend to her, celebrations of revelry in the streets as their glorious mother returned! But she could not enjoy the happiness of her children, she needed to go out and find the approaching sources of her distress.

Ulm lumbered across the forested landscape, stomping patches of trees where he went. He wandered in the haze of his visions, seeing glimpses of a ever-changing being from which he tried to shut his eyes from, but in vain. His only motivation was a distant grove, one he seems to remember very vividly against all logic. He knew that this obscure being was resided there and that the only way to end his torrent of pain and confusion was to deal with it face to face.


Somehow he could concentrate enough to hear a faint roar coming from the east. He was too pained to take a look at it's source, though he was pondering whether it was another being like him, a though which he did not like. Jeopardizing his place as the First would not be acceptable, and he would not hesitate to defend his position of greatness in this realm. This only increased his determination to make sense of these visions, as the existence of more beings is a liability to his aspirations.

Sylvanir ran along the planet and began to feel something was missing. This planet is too empty. After a few hours of wandering he wandered across a more minor settlement of Selka's children. The children seemed both curious and frightened, which for some reason made Sylvanir feel right. As he walked through he noticed something which bothered him though, the people seemed content and they didn't seem to perceive any dangers. Something is needed, nothing should be able to spread unopposed.

After leaving the town he got to work, pulling many large clumps of earth out of the ground. With these, he began to form animals, making the first pair of each that he made stronger and far longer living than their kin. He first made two prey species. He made four legged, thinner, brown furred beings, the males being taller and having branching horns called antlers. This species he called deer and he told all but the first he made to go out, spread and breed and told them their place in the world as forest dwelling herbivores, implanting it in their minds. He then made what he would call cattle, thick, four legged beings that had females with milk producing utters and males with two long horns on both sides of it's head. These he told their places in the world as being in the great grassy plains, eating grass and migrating in herds, embedding it in their minds as well. He then made his first two predator animals. He started with a shorter, sharp toothed, four legged animal which he decided to call a wolf. He told them their place as hunters and carnivores, traveling in packs. He gave them a law he would give all carnivores and that was never to completely annihilate their prey but let them prosper as to not ruin the natural order and starve themselves. After the wolves he made the bears. Large, hulking, sharp-toothed things with much strength. He made them able to eat berries, knowing that for now, they were the strongest animal and would surely hunt down all the others if not given an alternative food source. He gave them a place as cave dwellers, hunters, and gave them the ability to hibernate should they encounter freezing cold.

After all the others left he turned to the four. "You four are to follow me, so all know that if they see others of your race that I created you, I've granted you powers beyond your brethren and the tree of my sister shall be your home when she returns. Now come, I am going to go meet one of the others." He declared to the four as they bowed their heads to him. He then began walking towards the location of the city of Selka's children, and the goddess herself, and then after that, Ulm.

Days of wandering in this desolate rock had made Ulm question whether his visions were true at all, even though he knew for a fact he was so very close to his destination, whatever it was anyway. The absolute darkness of the night rendered his true vision useless for the moment, just like it had done last time, and the time before that. He had grown quite numb to the sting of trees on the bottom of his feet. Recently though he had seen something moving in the corner of his eyes, but in this dark void it wouldn't matter anyway. And right then the sky exploded.

A low boom accompanied by a vivid display of countless small celestial lights flying and dancing along the skies made Ulm stop right on his tracks from sheer awe. There was no place in his mind for an explanation to this peculiar event. For a moment he was confused from a new emotion of fear. As he looked down to shield his eyes from this stellar madness, to his surprise the lights in the sky gave just enough light to see where he was. Then what he saw by his feet made him feel strong again. He saw small people with tiny horns freeze in terror as the lights display in the sky cast his gigantic shadow over what looked like a settlement full of these small creatures. Ulm let out a malevolent grin and decided to announce his greatness with a deep guttural roar which shook the earth. The sight of creatures throwing themselves on the ground filled Ulm with pride and made him laugh heartily, yet another string of new emotions.

Now would be the time to confront the warping being who allegedly resided here.
