Human Name:
James Ordeith
Age:
17, both in real-world and divine timeframes.
Human Appearance:
Whilst not immediately obviously divine, James Ordeith is definitely somebody who you would look twice at on the street. Short white-blonde hair rises in a short, slightly curled crop from his head, seeming to remain suspended their no matter what the weather conditions. His face is angular, with moderately pronounced cheekbones and a square jaw. He is tall, but not to the point of being unusual. His main peculiarities lie around his eyes, one of which is a plain grey, whilst the other, his left, is a strangely vivid shade of yellow. He has a thin, vertical scar over this eye, extending above it onto his forehead and below it onto his cheek. In addition to this, he has tattoos forming a complex abstract pattern of black curves and lines, extending from the sides of his lower neck, across his chest, where they surround a rough rendering of his symbol, and down both of his arms to end in a design on his palms. It is these tattoos and the one odd coloured eye that garner him additional attention in public spaces. He usually dresses in jeans and a hoodie, trainers and sometimes sunglasses, to avoid attracting attention in human settings. This is a habit that he has carried on into "God School".
Bio:
James Ordeith was never given much attention by his real parents. His father, being the God of War, was notoriously lacking in patience for interpersonal interaction which didn't involve combat, or sex, or both. Raising a son was at the bottom of his list of priorities, essentially when the novelty of sons had somewhat worn off some time after the tenth. His mother as the Goddess of Justice was often assumed to be the more caring sort, but those who thought this were more than mistaken. Her justice was of a cold and detached variety, dealing out punishment and reward with the precision of a mathematical formula, and whilst not unkind she was not the type to be given to what she considered acts of empathy that had not been earned. Besides, she had decided that the best preparation of her son for his role would be to spend his formative years on Earth to better understand it's people. James' future dominion as a God is as a God of swordplay and warriors of valor. A God of Combat, but not one of anarchy and destruction without cause. His mother's influence lends him a sense of justice.
James was raised by an underling employed for the purpose by his parents; an angel of the divine planes named Xe'fre who nonetheless preferred to keep a low profile. James' early life consisted of an unusual mix of human culture, picked up during his schooling, and a selection of general wisdom and tips for the divine offered by his wise, albeit somewhat disconnected from the passage of time and society as most perceived it, guardian. In addition to this Xe'fre occasionally delivered special classes on Godhood and the nature and culture of the divine - which, unlike human society, seldom changes in any significant degree. This had equipped James with a basic understanding of his history and future role, although he considers himself far from ready to be taking up the active duties of a God.
James went to school in America, although he had few friends and tended to be reserved. At age 7, he was forced to change schools and cities after a confrontation with a schoolyard bully ended in said bully flung through a fence and paralyzed below the waist, after the young God underestimated the strength of his response. The school administration was forced to conclude, contrary to the testimony of all 27 Elementry Schoolchildren who were witnesses to the event, that he had been hit by a car; although where this supposed car had come from and where it had then disappeared to remained an unsolved mystery. Meanwhile, the rumour mill made staying in the area an impossibility for James. This taught James to be more careful with the use of his abilities, although he is not adverse to using them should to situation seem appropriate; his mother's spiritual influence was reflected in his approach to appropriate action.
James' attendance of God school was planned by his parents and Xe'fre as a way of preparing him for when he enters the circle of deities as a fully fledged member.
Parents:
God of War and Goddess of Justice, although Ta'garien is a God of Swordplay, Combat and Warriors of Valor.
God Name:
Ta'garien
God Appearance:
His entire frame is encompassed by a full-body suit of heavy plate-armour, shining with a burnished copper-gold sheen, and not allowing any skin to be seen; only shadow in the joints. The only opening is a long, vertical slit in the helmet, filled with a murky black aside from a single yellow-gold point of light, shining like a beacon, or single lonely eye. His frame is surrounded by a faint white-gold aura, and his size and occasionally his shape can vary. The armour is covered in thick overlapping curves and lines that mimic James' tattoos, although these cover his entire armoured frame. Blades of some form are concealed in sheaves built into the armoured plates in most of his armour sections, almost seemlessly blending in with the metal design until removed. However, his primary weapon is attached to his back...
Symbols:
A circle or dot radiating lines out from all sides, but with two long pointed triangles extending vertically from just above/below the top/bottom of the circle. Reminiscent of the sun, but more so of the slit and single eye of Ta'garien's helmet.
Alignment:
Neutral Good
Weapon:
An almost absurdly large sword strapped to his back, far too large for any mortal to lift. It is the same burnished copper-gold as his armour, and the hilt is covered in the same curved patterns whilst the blade is lined with runes. This sometimes glow with a white-gold light. Sometimes, Ta'garien will utilized light-based offensive and defensive powers.
Animal:
Gyrfalcon.
Followers:
None so far. James/Ta'garien has kept a relatively low profile.
