[b]Abilities:[/b]
The God of Control is a unique god amongst the other abstractions. While the other abstracts have their respective domains to influence, his presides over command itself. Such are the powers of one who commands the commandments themselves. His powers are often duplicitous in their aspects, representing the two sides of his sphere of influence, as Control requires both a master and a servant.

[center][i]The Puppet’s Strings, Aspect of Fate and Will[/i][/center]

Synn reaches into the fabric of reality to weave strings of fate as he pleases. Once woven, the edicts of destiny are nigh inescapable, as Synn binds reality to a divine decree and anything caught within the mandate of fate become puppets towards the fulfillment of the prophecy. While direct divine intervention may work to counter fate, by leaving his will upon reality, reality will continuously attempt to fulfill the woven fabric. Thus unless Synn reaches into the fabric of reality to cut strings of fate and revoke the decree, reality will begin to warp itself to relieve the strain of the strings binding it like an overstitched cloth twisting. This reality warping causes dangerous effects of creating nonexistent anomalies: eldritch abominations which attempts to annihilate that which causes the strain and project themselves into existence as grotesque masses of indescribable terrors of beyond understanding. The anomalies serve as a failsafe mechanism of reality, and are quite irksome to the gods as they are unaffected by divine powers. By the same ability, Synn may release portions of reality from fate by tearing at the fabric, though this will sever the affected from reality and thus are no longer bound to the powers of the gods be it their curses or blessings.

[center][i]The Void of Lunacy, Aspect of Restraint and Desire[/i][/center]

Synn’s presence may drive lesser beings into madness. Those under the influence of his influence may find themselves subjected to their own desires. They may lose control over their own minds as desires take them to the point of losing all other purpose but to sate their uncontrolled desire. Those of which who have fallen into their vice become primal vestiges of their former selves submitting to fanaticism towards their idols. Some fall to beauty, pride and the arts, some to greed, luxury, and envy, others to lust, carnality and pleasure, while others yet fall to conflict, carnage and suffering, some to indulgence, devouring and decadence, others still to knowledge, secrets and immortality or those who seek rest, torpor and inactivity. Other side of madness occurs when Synn instills control over such beings to which they may become agents of stoicism. These zealots become obsessed with self-control and controlling others to become as they are unlike their aforementioned counterparts. The zealots forgo all desires but control itself.

[center][i]The Celestial Conduit, Aspect of Subjugation and Freedom[/i][/center]

Synn’s control is absolute. While other divinities retain their spheres of influence, these spheres are not exclusive with respect to Synn. He may exert his dominion over control itself to glean from other gods their abilities. This ability require contact with the divinity to be affected, although does not require either party to remain in contact after the initial contact. Any powers or abilities gained are temporary and are often of lesser magnitude to their original possessor who retains the very same ability. This ability allows him to mimic the other gods abilities for his own uses although at a much smaller scale. By the same token, Synn may also exert his powers to amplify the control of the other gods over their own dominions. This allows them to temporarily gain heightened influences into their spheres and empower their abilities to larger magnitudes or even generate novel abilities beyond their original scope. This aspect of the ability, unlike the other, requires the parties to remain in contact for the ability to function. Implementing the same ability on lesser beings will enslave them to Synn’s will, becoming an extension of him as he may control them as he pleases as an avatar at his whim, or alternatively, grant them lessor powers and abilities based on their nature. Use of this ability upon lessor beings does not require direct contact and the effects are permanent.

[center][i]The Pit of Pandemonium[/i][/center]

Synn’s own realm of existence, woven around the fringes of reality, it serves as an asylum for those afflicted by his abilities. Pandemonium is a described as a multi-planar sinkhole embedded into reality as each planar strata serves to imprison the vices while a central tower anchors the planes together. While each plane is unique and weaves itself to suit its inhabitants, outsiders and visitors may find Pandemonium both appealing and appalling. Synn often resides in the tower itself, if not a chosen avatar puppet.

[b]Personality & Personality Flaws:[/b]
Synn is a darker god, with more malevolent powers than benevolent ones. His agendas are his own, and often serve to keep the balance between the other divinities and keep them under control. To which one may question his interference in the affairs of the gods, and perhaps even his subservience to Balsis. Amongst the gods, he is known for his silver tongue and unnerving appearance. Despite this, he may be quite benevolent when a sudden whim overtakes his usual persona of the cold, calculating imperialist. This is due to the fact that, like his powers, Synn also suffers from a duality in his persona. This is perhaps the one reason why Balsis had created the ironic paradox in afflicting the god of control with a dual personality. For what is more amusing than a god of control who cannot control his own dichotomy.
