Domain: Stories and Adventures

Personality:
Easy to please, easy to anger. Symarus is an ever changing god, drawn forth by curiosity and boredom. Born from the imagination of mortals, he always seeks the most interesting outcome. Good and evil mean nothing to him, so long as he is entertained. Mortals may earn his patronage by being surprising, genuine, or simply insane. So long as they seek to make a story of their own. But there is nothing Symarus despises more than those who diligently and consistently work towards something beyond themselves. Those who settle for a mundane life, or who favour practicality over flair. And when bored, he can get quite vicious.

Domain:
Unlike many of the other gods, Symarus has no true home. He is a wandering god, and exists in every shadow where man means to see agency. In many ways he is a god of the human spirit, unconfined and free. Staying in one place too long would be boring, after all.

History:
By the standards of the gods, Symarus is practically a newborn. Birthed long after the primal concepts and constants of the universe were set in place, he is a more recent creation. Formed from the sentient thoughts of living beings. As such he lacks a context to interact with many of his brethren gods, and some of the most ancient barely consider him a god at all.

One of the very first Souls to have been welcomed into Neberziel by Azhriel. Once a chieftain of lesser men, strong, powerful and worthy of leadership. However, he was slain as he slept by someone who coveted the same power. Even in death, Gibari exuded great strength before the God of Souls impressing him greatly. As such, Azhriel offered the man a chance to serve beyond death. To help uphold the Balance of Souls and defend Neberziel whenever the need calls for it.



Xander was a Soul who had taken his own life after killing his older brother in their sleep. When asked whether he would like to make amends with his brother's Soul, Xander refused once he saw what his brother had become; The Rook. Noticing the younger brother's cowardice, Azhriel enlisted his Soul to serve as a Warden of Neberziel, meant as a punishment more than a blessing. The God of Souls then bound him to eternal silence so that he may never be at peace with his brother's murder.



The result of a pairing looked down upon by most at the time of her birth. Half-Human, Half-Divine Being. An outcast for much of her life until she tried to end it. Sensing the uniqueness of her Soul, Azhriel swiftly intervened. He approached her with compassion, understanding and a simple offer. Pledge to him her Soul and he would provide it with a home and meaning. Initially, she was distrustful of the God who had suddenly appeared before her. No Divine Being had ever regarded her as anything more than an abomination but Azhriel insisted. It took some time but eventually she agreed and so the God of Souls whisked her away to his domain, enlisting the half-breed as another of Neberziel's Wardens. Since she hadn't taken her life and was already part Divine, Azhriel allowed her to retain her original form. Though her true parentage remains buried, it is no secret that her Divinity makes her the strongest of the four Wardens.
