The Proteans Creations - Deities

skalmold666 Oct '15  /  edited Sep '16
Gods: Gods are not sentient beings, they are rather giant fonts of magic that are connected to clerics via a ritual. The gods are made from the collected faith and idea of the members of a religion, their souls become connected to a secret room where pieces of their souls begin to gather and eventually forms something like a self sustaining generator, but on a titanic scale.

Nature: Nature is thought to be a simple god of any other religion, but in fact Nature is sentient, she is a literal force the world, shaping it to her whim, the Orcs and Elves are perfect examples of this, though she is not omnipotent. Her influence is wide but mentally she may only be in one spot, however she tends to change from place to place, at this current moment in the 10,000 millennium she is in the far east, land of the River emperors.

Four elements: the four elements are more than meets the eye, they are sentient and omnipotent at that, being conscious wherever their element is. Their influence on the world though gets less and less that their element is spread. so where they at their most powerful is dependent at each, for water the Sea or huge lakes like lochs, for earth great tall mountains or great deserts, for air simply high in the sky or even windy cliffs and finally for fire, great volcanoes and forest fires.

Old Ones: The Old Ones are beings of pure power that semi-existed long before the creation of existence itself, being incredibly powerful, capable of destroying five universes on a simple thought, though they are unlikely to do so because they care very little for the Proteans Creations. Though they do influence them in many ways, like the Psychics who worships them like gods. The power, essence, Potence of the The Old Ones causes mutations in mortals, though these mutations depends entirely on the Old One from which it originates

Pharaoh of the Void: The Pharaoh of the Void is the King of the Old Ones and is the most powerful among them, but this does not change the power of Psychics, the Pharaoh has a rather fitting appearance, it looks like a mummified corpse covered in silver Pharaoh jewelry, an upside down head with no eyes or lips, it's skin is so black that light is just absorbed. It's Mutations cause mummification, blacking of skin or even to a point becoming slightly spectral.

Xairank the formless: Xairank is the only Old One not to have a true form, instead he simply inhabits the bodies of Mortals, automatically causing mutations of course as the pure essence of the Old one enters the body. Xairank though formless has had depictions by his followers, or some of his hosts, descriptions gather up to a sphere of writhing tentacles with the odd feathers, talons, scales and claws poking out. Xairank is responsible for the creation of the race Uraike, who are humans that have been completely mutated and created into something new, normally having a form something similar to a lovecraftian horror.
Mutations: Xairank's mutations causes people to gain tentacles, scaled areas of skin, feathers, claws, talons, amphibious qualities.

Decap the Thousand Faced: Decap is the only Old One not to have a single form, as his title implies, it has one thousand different forms that changes every minute, these forms can be any humanoid, animal or even sometimes some form of the elements.
Mutations: Decap's Mutations are rather unique because they don't just affect small areas, but rather the entire person, changing their appearance or even race or gender, the Psychics of Decap even have their own a thousand forms that change every week.

Lidlos the Devourer: Lidlos is the Old One with the power to eternally devour whatever it wishes, even to the point of being able to devour entire Universes just to sate it's hunger. Lidlos appearance as a 100ft tall giant with no skin but rather red, blue and purple flesh. bony white plates cover it's body in certain areas, especially it's head which appears to look like a featureless helmet and from this helmet as well there are a pair of Elephant tusks near the bottom. At the bottom of it's torso are a swarm of tentacles instead of legs, at it's collar bones there are a pair of smooth tentacles, and on it's back are a pair of bat like wings.
Mutations: The Mutations of Lidlos are rather terrifying, loosing ones skin revealing purple/red/blue flesh, skin being replaced by bony plates, gaining smooth tentacles, featureless bone like masks.

Foedin the Scaled Horror: Foedin is the Old one responsible for the creation of the Dragon Species, the flying Horrors of the sky, be they metallic or magical, they are all monstrous and dangerous. Foedin created them as an example of it´s power, but unfortunately the credit of their creation went to the first dragon, Dreginas, he who is called the father of dragonkind, this made Foedin very angry and so it had Dreginas cursed with an infernal possession. Now it has very few psychic´s and those that do exist are there to implant the true origins of Dragons and so that they fear Foedin. Foedin has the appearance of a black and green dragon, with two pairs of wings, one feathered, one bat like. It has six legs and a scorpion like tail with a stinger. It also has a pair of pincers as well as it's lower jaw splits in two, above all this are four menacing insectile compound eyes.
Mutations: Foedin's Mutations cause small patches of skin to become scaled, gain mandibles, claws, compund eyes and sometimes even wings, be they feathered or skinned.

Thanatos The twin Harvestman: Thanatos is the Old One who harvests the souls of the dead, most souls within the universe will end up to it in Limbo or end up in hell. Thanatos takes pride in taking souls, giving them a perfect utopia until they actually become faded and forgotten, becoming a part of his very form, turning into essence/potence. Thanatos most commonly appears like a conjoined twin, on one side there appears to be a cloaked skeleton holding a scythe and from it's shoulders sprout a pair of grey feathered wings. On the other side appears something akin to a ranger in a black cloak, it's left arm is skeletal but also seems to be a bow, the right arm is formed by shadows, it does not have a face on this side but rather a bird like mask, from it's shoulder's sprout skeletal bat wings. the feathered wings are for the rangers and the skeletal ones for the skeleton.
Mutations: The Mutations of Thanatos are not the most forgiving, slowly the skin and flesh dies, sometimes the right arm falls off getting replaced by a spectral shadowy one, once the mutation reaches the heart, the mortal will die, for characters there are no exceptions, no shortcuts or ways out of this.

Fenrir The savage: Fenrir is a wild uncontrollable savage beast of , murder and distraction, even more so than Foedin. Fenrir could technically be called the Pharaoh's pet. Fenrir most often takes on the form of a giant void black wolf, two pairs of horns sprout from his head, one forward like a bull's, the second point backwards like that of a dragon. It's maw and eyes glow like an inferno. The psychic's of fenrir are often considered completely savage or irrational at times.
Mutations: The mutations of fenrir cause the unnatural growth of hair and horns, as well as gaining a firey mouth or eyes.

Xerak The unseen Hand/The First: "before anything, even the old ones, there was simply the void and a consciousness. Then the void took form into the Pharaoh of the Void, but the consciousness remaned, this is xerak, the unseen force of everything that has been and shall ever be". Xerak is unique among the old ones for being the oldest and that he has no essence to mutate or create anomalies, instead it is the force of physics itself. It's psychic's are also unique for not being able to mutate or affect the mind but are instead telekinetics, capable of manipulating the law of physics to their whim.
Mutations: none

Kharrus the Great Serpent: Kharrus is the Old One responsible for betrayals, lies and serpents, some beings or mortals call it the snake god or betrayer god, thought technically he is not a god. Kharrus tends to look like a great serpent with no end, three great heads, three triple forked tongues, 6 eyes, an infinite amount of clawed hands each with three fingers. Psychics of Kharrus are normally traitors, liers, cheaters, they will betray in any way they can to please the Old One.
Mutations: The mutations of Kharrus can be minor or severe, they can cause slight scaling of skin, slited eyes, snake fangs or forked tongue. They can also have two snake heads sprout from their shoulders, a snake tail instead of legs.

"their souls and so in so in a secret room small pieces of the members souls start to gather and eventually forms something like" - this sentence is really awkward to read, I'd suggest rewriting it to make it easier on the eyes

" whim, the Orcs and Elves are perfect examples of this, though she is not omnipotent, her influence" - a minor detail, but I'd put a full stop after omnipotent and however instead of though, just reads better

"elements are more than meats the eye" - self-explanatory

"their influence on the world though gets less" - capital T needed

"so where they at their most powerful is dependent at each, for water the sea or huge" - capital S needed

"though they do influence them in many ways, like the Psychics who worships them like gods." - capital T needed

"the power or essence or Potence of the The Old Ones causes mutations in Mortals" - capital T at beginning of sentence, have a commas instead of or, duplicate the's and mortals shouldn't be capital

"something new, normally having a form something similar to a lovecraftian horror"- full stop at the end of sentence

"Lidlos appearance as a 100ft tall giant with no skin but rather red, blue and purple flesh, bony white plates over at certain areas of it's body, especially it's head which appears to look like a featureless helmet and from this helmet is are a pair of Elephant tusks near the bottom" - sentence is pretty long, could use some fullstops, also after helmet you need to get rid of is or are

"at the bottom of it's torso are a swarm of tentacles instead of legs and at it's collar bones there are a pair of smooth tentacles, and on it's back are a pair of bat like wings." - capital at the start of sentence, two ands, replace the first with a comma

"this made Foedin very angry and so had Dreginas" - needs it after so
