Mind if I lurk?
Why would we not appreciate having you along even if just to lurk?

Fire
Fire
In the dark woods, among the first snow a man huddles next to a small fire, its glow offers comfort, its warmth saves him from a shivering death. When he sleeps this little fire is forgotten and catches to a nearby tree, its glow becomes searing fear, its heat becomes a roaring death. It is this capricious, if beautiful, waltz is what fire is at the core and what Anat'aa envelopes. Hers is the touch that can spark a wildfire that sweeps all before, of the breath the stokes the dying embers of tavern fire surrounded by the laughter of old friends. Fire in all forms is contained and released by her unfortunate whim.
Description
Anat'aa shares the capriciousness of her domain, her kindness can quickly turn into disaster, her wrath shaped into a constructive tool. As with fire the difference of these extremes is a matter of remembrance and respect, remember her kindness and respect her wrath and the fire will remember and respect you. She has a tendency to involve herself with the world directly, as she likes to watch the fires of the mortals burn in their souls and hearths. Unfortunately for said mortals this usually takes the form of various tricks and what Anat'aa would call "harmless jokes".
When dealing with other gods Anat'aa could seem flighty as a flickering flame, listening to their words and the intent behind them but her eyes on a far distant fire. But if a tempting enough offer is made they are soon to find the full extent of her attention, whatever form that may take.

Why hello everyone. For now I'll also just lurk because I've got some very busy times ahead of me, but I think there's a good chance I'll be drawn to participate to some extent, maybe with a mortal or two.
I'm Frettzo's bouncer. The man said no mutton hawkers allowed!

Szukaj-życia
Seeker of the Dead - Black Knight - Death - Reaper - Fate Weaver - Night Caller - Last Embrace - Final JudgeGod of Death
Szukaj-życia lives within the domain of the afterlife; while he is the god of death, he does not control how something dies. He is only the link between life and the afterlife. He is peace; he is the thought of something after. He gives those judgments and begins their new story wherever that may be.
Because without him, what would life be if there was no moment to reflect upon life and see how life indeed was? Without death, life could not flourish, novels could not end, and the cycle could not be fulfilled. But it is the afterlife, the moment of death when Szukaj-życia takes hold when those enter his realm and shows them where they are going. To a perfect afterlife of happiness, suffering, rebirth, or the infinite clauses that come after death. He is each person's guide; he is the one who tends to the forests of dead trees and walks with the spirits that haunt or help those still in the mortal world. After death, you become his.

Pictures, descriptions or both are fine. You can specify preferred forms and what forms they adopt in particular circumstances.
The pale rider is when Death is typically seen as an old man riding a horse, leading another horse behind him. This form tends to be a gaunt man with pale skin, dry and stretched skin, and spindly bony fingers. He is a pale rider.
But his proper form is that of a tall, middle-aged man with a large set of thick feathered wings upon his back and a halo. This form is usually seen with a staff, a scythe, or an axe. In the other hand, he either has a clock or a broken hourglass in his other hand. Almost entirely clothed either in pure white or pure black, depending on the individual, each person will likely see his clothing and halo in a different light.
The Gardener
This form is similar to the first but more jovial and quaint, but often only seen in forests or wilderness areas away from people or towns that quickly. But, if looked upon by most, it will seem like a ghost planting ghost plants, from trees to flowers.
He may have other lesser appearances, but that depends on the person. He often changes his appearance to ease the passing and judgment of the dead. Be it an animal, plant, or person; he will take the form which may ease the dead or frighten them depending on his first impression.
Death
His last appearance is that which he is typically idolized as, and that is a skeleton with a dark cloak over his form.

Description
Szukaj-życia tends to be kind; most of the world is innocent, and nature tends to be quaint in his realm. He is often at home but also in the mortal realm, where he makes treats with those who enter his domain.
He is typically solemn and quiet when in his domain, his home. He often goes to writing stories he heard from those who have died, painting pictures of those he has taken in, and caring for those who reside in his yard and realm, primarily the entities of nature. Tending to ghostly gardens, feeding ghostly animals, and talking to those dead judged well by him who are residing within the gardens of death.
Going to the spans of his home are those who have been judged poorly, who tend to be in pain and suffering compared to those closest to his home. These individuals have typically done something wrong in their lives, but it is to be judged when they die based on the action; they tend to be hunted by predatory animals that reside there.
But in the mortal realm, he tends to be just a traveler who acts as a guide as he wanders and travels. He is humble and wise, trying to spread wisdom, joy, and life. A hermit, he is just around, traveling and finding those about to enter his domain. Seen by many as just a traveler and often can be found within towns and cities across the world as just a simple man.
But oftentimes, he tends to the world, reaping what the world has sown for him. And he lives a simple life, doing a simple job. He kept to himself mainly in the wilderness and seemed like a beggar or a wise old man out in the wild. But for the most part, his parts throughout the world are there to be shepherds into the next life for those who die.
But finally, he is typically correlated with dying and the causation of death, which he is not. He is just the messenger and guide.

Evolution
In the primordial abyss is essence. Where nothing exists everything grows. That which was once law is shattered as chaos takes root. The whole is incomplete and through knowing nothing one will know all.
To evoke evolution is to create change. From simple variations in color to repurposing a continent of life and shape. But one must take care- for any evolution hastily done may unravel that which is held dear. It is naught more than the experimentation of the universe for better or worse and it does not come freely. Sacrifice, indulge in the black waters, and be born anew.
The primary alterations are often to those that are biological in nature and may leave the afflicted with a magical residue. A taste- if you will- of Vak'thuum's power that those familiar with his scent will know its origin.
Powers of the black water can extend to civilizations and even this god has his agents of change. Find darkened pools of ink that stretch as lakes or rivers that run of ebony. There you will find spires of power and people who reflect his visage and lay witness to the growing grasp upon existence itself.

Description
Vak'thuum can be described as the manifestation of a black oozing pool that bubbles in excitement in the face of change. A wide spanning tentacle that erupts from fogged waters to churn and coil around those who sacrifice themselves. But those who have seen them firsthand would describe them as a great beast that emerges from the depths of darkness and knows no end. Tentacles aplenty with great searing red eyes that gaze upon the object of obsession. A horror and a salvation. It reeks with an ancient power from its scale like hide flaring to greet you. Intention is never quite known and at any time purpose may change.
Believe they are a nightmare and you will be haunted for all your days. Believe they are a dream and your wishes will come to pass. But whatsoever you shall do you shall do it with the knowledge that nothing will ever be the same. With a clawed hand it reaches forth. Tribute and all will change.

Voi
Shepherd of Souls, Lord of Souls and the WatcherDomain
Soul
What is a soul? A question that has evaded scholars and priests for a millennium. But, a soul is simply one's essence, intangible immortal energy that all living and sometimes nonliving things have and can not live without. Energy that is created from nothing and is given a body to inhabit once it has the spark of life. Which even nature has a soul. Or souls as you will and even souls manifest in areas that are either sacred or something important happened there.
Once the body has died, it will move on to the afterlife where it will stay there for all eternity. Unless they are reincarnated which is presented in some souls found in nature and to those souls who are worthy of a second chance in life to make amends for their sins in their past life. As long as the natural order of life and death remains in balance.
Few have power over souls like Voi does and make sure that souls go where they need to go. Though if he wanted to, he can influence where a soul goes along with having power over a soul, either it be in a live body or dead. Able to manipulate them with great effect though this is something that Voi only does if needed. Along with being able to create a soul and thus create life but, only when he has a purpose in mind for it. Or even bring the dead back to life but, there has to be a good reason for it.
When it comes to ghosts, those souls who refused to move on. Voi has power over them as well. Though most of the time, he will try and peacefully help the soul move on, and if that does not work. He will force the transition.

A hooded figure where you cannot see his face, only darkness and only able to see two bright blue lights where his eyes should be. His robes being black and blueish white, with the lower half being black and, his sleeve, hood, and part of the upper part being blueish white. The robes themselves are plain though seem ancient to the eye. His hands when shown are covered with gray bandages that never come off. Though sometimes you can see a faint blue light coming from underneath.
Description
The middle man of life and death, Voi can be seen as a watchman. Silent but ever-present, steadfast in his duties. Despite his passive nature of watching and maintaining the flows of souls between life and death. He still has an interest in the mortal realm. Watching events from afar or in mortal form. Sometimes interfering in events if he deems it something important.
As deep down, Voi is a kind and thoughtful god. One normally on the sidelines but, will jump into the frontline if he feels he needs to. For Voi has morals, and greatly values life, despite his role. He is not the one to ignore tragedies or massacres and not one to let one suffer unless you really piss him off. Voi sees the living as something as precious and not something to be tossed away carelessly. Something to be watched over and sometimes guided from evil when needed.
Acting as a friendly and warm to those he likes or calls friends. To those that he feels negative about and you will find a cold and distant Voi. Disrupt the flow of souls or do something such as someone mortal or not committing necromancy and you will find an angry Voi. He will intervene.

Allianthé
The Emerald QueenDomain
Life
Life, the essential animus. It is marked by 3 traits: first of all for something to be alive it must be born. A fawn is born from its mother, a plant starts as a seed. All life has a beginning. Second is that it grows. The fawn grows into a deer and a plant draws carbon from the air and nutrients from the ground. It is important to note that life itself searches for the necessary resources to grow. A mountain range might increase in size due to seismic activity, but the mountains themselves did not search to grow bigger. Life requires one to grow. Finally, life must end and more importantly, be recycled. Death itself is not part of life. But decay, the breakdown of the result of death to feed new life is.
It is that middle trait that gives life its power. It grows, it consumes, it goes everywhere and wants everything. All but the tallest peaks as covered in trees. All but the most desolate wastelands harbor some form of fauna. Life is everything It insists on being everywhere. And where it isn't, it will try to get there. In whatever shape it must assume. Because for life to thrive, it must adapt.
Allianthé embodies the aspect of the Mother as the goddess of life the most. As the Mother, she wishes to see her children spread. Life spreads far and wide, it must envelop everything. There is no place in the whole galaxy that she deems unreachable. Life will simply adapt. It always has. The only anathema she knows is death. It stifles growth. It ends the living. Allianthé considers the concept of death as her nemesis. In her vision of life, everything is symbiotic. All serve each other and thus preserve the harmony she so dearly desires.

The Maiden
Her most common form, the maiden is a healer and a caretaker. With skin of bark and hair of leaves, she moves amongst life as part of it. This is a form she would prefer to use when contacting mortality.

Description
Above all else, Alliantha loves life and the living. Whether she made it, or someone else did, she'll cherish and love it. She wants the living to prosper, thrive, and spread. Spread everywhere. Endlessly. Which makes her the antithesis of Death, the very definition of The End. Alliantha will be torn between two directions. For one she'll wish to spread life everywhere, beyond Galbar, on moons and distant barren rocks, within the endless empty void and even on the sun if she can manage it. This is her Mother Aspect, the bringer of life. Her other aspect is that of the Healer. Life is - fundamentally - fragile. They can get harmed by accidents (or Alliantha forbids, deliberately). She wishes to heal them, nurse them back to their fullest health. Drag them back from the brink of death.

Kalmar
The Father of Beasts. The Watcher of the Woods. The Wanderer by the River. The Spear in the Dark.Domain
The Hunt
The Hunt is an integral part of nature. It keeps populations in check and encourages competition between life forms, forcing them to become stronger or risk extinction. At its core, to hunt is to track and kill - sometimes for food, sometimes to safeguard territory, and sometimes for sport - but ideally never with disrespect. This seems simple, but in truth it has a wide array of applications.
First and foremost, Kalmar himself is an unparalleled tracker - to the point where he instinctively knows his quarry has been somewhere even if they leave no signs of their passage. He also has the ability to enhance tracking capabilities in beasts and mortals. Whether that be by enhancing their perception, increasing their speed, or making them better at sneaking. If it can aid an individual in their hunt (and this hunt need not necessarily take place in nature) Kalmar can enhance it. Similarly, Kalmar may just as easily grant a creature abilities which make it harder to hunt.
Kalmar also carries a natural affinity with creatures of the wilderness. Most animals will recognize him as an apex predator on sight, instinctively knowing that to either fight or flee from him is folly, and instead opting to bow or show some other form of deference. He is also capable of communicating with such creatures. He can use his domain to either create or enhance beasts of various forms, so long as tracking, hunting, or killing are an integral part of their life. He may even grant creatures the ability to change their form.

He can use his domain to either create or enhance beasts of various forms, so long as tracking, hunting, or killing are an integral part of their life. He may even grant creatures the ability to change their form.
There are four forms that Kalmar most commonly uses. His first form is an athletic humanoid that varies between six and seven feet in height, with pointed ears, wild blond hair, green eyes, and a bushy moustache.
His second form is a large wolf, his third form is a griffin, and his fourth form is that of a quadropedal apelike creature. These also forms vary in size - usually whatever he deems most efficient for a given situation. They may be as small as a common forest creature or as large as a building.

Description
Beyond his physical appearance, Kalmar usually projects the aura of a master hunter and an apex predator. No matter how calm he presents himself, he always seems to be alert and ready to spring into action at a moment's notice. Thus, mortals and animals in Kalmar's presence may feel a sense of respect, unease, and even fear unless Kalmar chooses to restrain this aura. Kalmar's emotions are hard to read, and his manner of speaking usually comes across as blunt and to the point.
Those who attempt to understand Kalmar beyond the surface will discover that he considers himself something of a balancer. He teaches that death is a grim-yet-necessary component of nature, but one that must never be delivered in excess. One should be careful in what they hunt - taking care not to drive vital species to extinction, never disrespecting one's kill, and never making the process more painful than it needs to be.

Misri
Lord of Red, Lady of Savagery, Deliverer of Death, Devourer of Innocence, She of Fury, Daughter of Cruelty, Mother of MurderDomain
Violence
Violence, the act of using force to hurt, kill, or destroy. Where death can be natural, calm - there is no calmness when there is murder and least of all is it done out of kindness when it is a violent one. Misri's power is steeped in the blood of the innocent on the hands of a crazed killer. It is her power that maddens those who lose themselves in war, become jealous over a lover's infidelity, the barbarity of those who would claim to be lords of war. She is no god of war, there is no tactic or cunning for her - merely the destruction of civility and diplomacy. Where two people share a valley, Misri comes and incites them to fight and destroy each other. Where a family hosts a banquet, she disturbs the peace. Where there is war, she consumes its honor.
She is violence and blood flows in her wake.
She is violence and blood flows in her wake.
Misri's form amongst the gods is oft described as a collation of blackened whisps with a deep, blood red glow emanating from within. Her features are feral, animalistic, and cruel that is most seen wracked with anger or a sadistic smile that would instill fear within the lesser races. When she moves, her form dissipates and apparates to where it is needed, only leaving a smoky trail from where her essences has flowed. The hues of her inner sources occasionally shine through the smoky whisps the circle her, only to be encapsulated once more by the the very darkness that makes up her source. Her claws are ever drenched in blood and it is seen that from her maw the blood of the innocents drips and stains the ground.
Description
Misri is animalistic, only ever indulging in her base urges of murder and inflicting cruel pain on others. Those around her can feel a deep anger and resentment coming from her in spades, mortals are often driven mad by murderlust - seeking to kill or destroy anything around them. When she speaks, a cacophony of screams of fear and anger are heard behind her and yet, she never yells on whispers in a raspy yet alluring voice that fills the minds of those she speaks to with a euphoric need to destroy. Mortals know that to hear her or be within her presence is to know endless hate and anger and what it means to truly desire the death of even those that they love.
She is a selfish and cruel god, only ever toying with those beneath her and driving those who serve or worship her to cruel, short ends either by her own madness or their own folly. Those who fear her know never to speak of her for to mention her is to invite her into your heart and only madness follows from there. Senseless madness is what she surrounds herself in and that is what she craves - merely wishing to see violence blanket the realm.

In this way, Arcana is the expression of these ideas and ideals. In the living, Arcana exists primarily in the form of the Soul, whereas within the world it exists as the driving force for change, manifesting as the numerous energies that flow in and through the cosmos. This allows Mae-Alari to draw upon, manipulate, and manifest the many energies of the world by harnessing the potential energy contained within them. This potential energy can then be transmuted into any other form of energy or even new varieties. However, as a caveat, Mae-Alari cannot directly create, destroy, nor manipulate matter—instead they must influence it through the lens of energy. Where another god might create stone from their very essence whole-cloth, Mae-Alari must take pre-existing substance and mould its form and nature with energy, coaxing it into a new state. Though it may seem strange, while matter may not be created whole-cloth, more of existing matter can be propagated.
Tl;dr: Mae-Alari’s prime domain gives them power over the energies of the world, above all others being Potential Energy, Quintessence, the Breath, and the Soul. However, as a caveat to this incredible power, matter is beyond them. Stone must be coaxed by heat and pressure to become steel. Water heated or cooled to become gas or ice, whereas another god might simply bring these spontaneously into being.

♦♦♦♦Curious ♦ Enigmatic ♦ Wise♦
Mae-Alari is, first and foremost a being seeking understanding of itself through interaction with all else. Through its interactions with other deities and their myriad creations--as well as the reflection of its own expression through such objects, places, and peoples--the Arcane Source is always on the search for further aspects of itself. In this way its curiosity is clear as it finds a fascination with all things, particularly those it does not understand. Yet, despite its obsession with the world's workings, Mae-Alari is unquestionably wise, capable of drawing unexpected knowledge and insight from almost everything it encounters. In this way they contain both the aspects of an ancient sage and the overflowing enthusiasm of child-like curiosity.
As Mae-Alari's purpose is ultimately to understand themselves in all their vast and incalculable complexity, it follows that they are prone to change and--furthermore--difficult to fully grasp even for others. This often makes their intentions opaque and the reasoning behind their actions sometimes inscrutable, leading others top an enigmatic impression of their character. Still, despite their seemingly malleable and indiscernibility, Mae-Alari can always be relied on for their perceptiveness and willingness to assist others. Still, not everyone is wont to risk seeking them out given that often the true reasons behind Alari's giving nature are--at best--difficult to ascertain.

Nested within the beauteous vessel of the Goddess dwells a singularity most sublime, its churning patterns the sum total of all Arcana. It is a sigil, an evolving pattern of energy catalyzing itself into yet greater forms. It is the eye and the heart and the mind as one, bound and unbound, endless yet circumscript. It is the Arcane Source, the Unseen Wellspring and it devours and blooms in equal measure.
More will be added.
Upon her conception in the Great Void before the World was born, Mae-Alari took in a wholly different shape, one far more alien and strange.
A more worldly manifestation, pared down from her full divinity for the sake of the mortal mind.

@Frettzo ALrighty! I think that should do it, might fluff out the appearance with some descriptions but! Other than that ready to go!
The Many-Eyed Monarch
The King of Eyes. The Living Cloud. The Immortal Hive. The Wandering Swarm.Domain
Swarm
The Swarm Domain grants the holder dominion over insects, arachnids, and vermin. Flying (or scuttling) creatures of various shapes, sizes, and forms. This includes ants, bees, wasps, mosquitoes, flies, locusts, spiders, rats, and more. The Many-Eyed Monarch may seize control of any insect in their vicinity, forcing it to join a hivemind (even if it does not normally have a hivemind) and thus gaining access to all its knowledge. The Monarch may will new insects into existence almost on a whim, and equip them with all manner of new abilities to either aid in their survival or make them more lethal. These insects can be made to serve as spies, workers, or soldiers, and can be put to work in such vast quantities that the results can be truly terrifying.
The Many-Eyed Monarch most commonly takes the form of a swarm of flying insects. Sometimes these insects will cluster together to form a humanoid shape, and will communicate through a series of buzzes perfectly timed and pitched to resemble speech. The insects which make up its form can be of any type, size, and shape - they are all linked to the Monarch's hivemind which forces them to act in perfect harmony with one another, even if they wouldn't normally be compatible. This swarm can vary wildly in size - either stretching across miles or being no larger than a human's head.
While acting as a part of the Monarch's form, these insects are effectively mutated into a 'divine' version of themselves - everything about them is enhanced or made more potent. They can persist in environments that would normally kill them, their venom can be made far more lethal, and so on. However, one side effect is that the insects still feel hunger (even though they no longer require sustenance) - and this hunger becomes part of the Monarch. Should the Monarch take on a form that is too large, the hunger will increase, and may grow to an extent that compels the Monarch to begin devouring everything in their path.

Description
The Many-Eyed Monarch is not a deity that usually inspires loyalty or adoration - though it may sometimes seek these things. If anyone worships the Many-Eyed Monarch, it is often either to bribe or appease them - in the hope that locusts won't devour their crops and bedbugs won't invade their mattresses. In the hope that the local beehives will produce ample wax and honey, that dragonflies will keep the local mosquito population trimmed down, and that spiders will entrap the more unwelcome visitors.
The Many-Eyed Monarch is neither malevolent nor benevolent. They are a force of nature, but that does not mean they lack personality or ambition. They are not overly-familiar with the morality of their fellow deities or that of sapient creatures, but they are nonetheless curious about them. They often attempt to make contact, and sometimes with disastrous results as their form tends to provoke fear and terror. Additionally they sometimes fail to see a significant difference between the life of an insect and the life of a larger, more intelligent and independent creature.
The Many-Eyed Monarch has no true name, although if another creature tries to bestow a name upon it, they will not reject it. The Many-Eyed Monarch has no gender, though they will not object or correct anyone anyone who assigns one to them. Additionally, they always refer to themselves in plural - 'we' instead of 'I.'
Fundamentally they believe that everything is better with cooperation. They do not actively seek conflict unless provoked, but many seemingly-harmless actions may provoke them nonetheless. In some ways they can be almost childlike - quick to trust but also quick to anger. They feel emotions very intensely, and are not fully used to processing those emotions.
If one is visited by a dragonfly or a butterfly, that is believed to be a sign of the Monarch's favour. Alternatively if one is bit by a mosquito or stung by a wasp, some may think they have earned the Monarch's ire.
The Monarch's personality may change over time, as the Monarch learns more of the ways of mortals and its fellow deities. Or perhaps not.
