God God Name: Kassius
Title: God of the Sun, Laughter, and Agriculture
Gender: Male
Alignment: Neutral Good
God Appearance:Unlike some other gods he could name, Kassius prefers to incarnate himself in a single form most of the time. He stands at 6"1 with a well-sculpted body with short blonde hair and blue eyes that seem to gleam with mirth as if he were a part to a joke you weren't in on. A golden light seems to shine around him at times as befitting the self-named "Sun-Bearer". He rarely dresses in full armor outside of battle, but when he does, it is a set of full plate armor shining like the evening sun.
Personality:Kassius is a generally light-hearted and easy-going individual. Unlike some of his other peers, he has never been in great danger partly due to his his power and partly due to the fact that few have wished to seriously harm in battle without someone ready to take his position. After all, the Sun is the source of life on Pandeum and even the gods fear to upset that balance save for, perhaps, Cungathiloth. Thus, while he intellectually knows of the perils of the world, he himself behaves in the manner of one who believes he is indestructible.
It is not within Kassius' nature to sit around idly. Whether it is, guiding the Sun personally through the heavens, sticking his nose in other deities' business, traveling the world incognito, or seeking the pleasures of female company, Kassius always finds himself involved in some activity that amuses him and gives him pleasure. At his worst, Kassius is naive and selfish, but at his best, Kassius is an individual of great passion and empathy. He truly cares for his mortal followers and considers his Avatar a son to him. He believes in celebrating life for all its flaws and confusion and greatly encourages his followers to find joy in this world and the world beyond. He does not hold any ill will towards the younger gods for the Rebellion and is one of the leading advocates for peace. Yet, for all that he inclines towards peace, Kassius is a fierce sight when angered and when he releases the full destructive might of the element of light, few can withstand him. Still, Kassius can be inattentive and oblivious of the problems that develop for his people, something which irks his Avatar to no end.
Opinion of mortals: "You are so easily discouraged, but remember, the light, your light, shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot put it out."
God’s Domain: Kassius' realm is forever bathed in light from when a golden sun showers the realm with sunlight at dawn to the silvery light of the stars and full moon at night. No one is left in the dark. There, the city of Heliopolis stands upon a the shores of a crystal blue sea, ever-expanding to accommodate those who gained Kassius favor in life. Night and day, there is revelry and laughter as the festivities never end. Food, drink, entertainment, and pleasure are in abundance and Kassius is often found amidst these souls when he is not in his Citadel for a rare moment of relaxation or when he is tasked with entertaining his fellow deities. Outside the city, evergreen fields bloom unceasingly with countless fruits, vegetables, and other edible plants and the more restless souls can explore vast forests, fields, and streams with renewed youthful curiosity.
Avatar Name: Cyrus, "Cy"
Avatar Appearance: Personality: Cyrus is much more responsible than his deity. Although he delights in laughter, light, and song as his god does, Cyrus is burdened with the knowledge that he is responsible for his people's survival and welfare. He is a veteran of a great many wars that have happened throughout his life and has a certain charisma about him that makes one want to obey him. Yet, he is calm polite and when when he slips off his dutiful mask, every bit as charming and humorous as his god.
Magic Abilities: Cyrus is a super-soldier. He is stronger, faster, and more durable than ordinary mortals, even the great heroes amongst them. He can fight non-stop for days and brave weather that would cow or destroy other men. In addition, he possesses the ability to create and manipulate light to form deadly attacks or barriers for defense. He is also able to heal himself by meditating in the sunlight.
