Name: Naja Naja, Deity of the Wood
Domain: Trees, Wilderness, Exploration, Nature, and all that draws sustenance from the land. Notably, Naja Naja does not have any particular influence or interest over agriculture. She also claims minor domains in inspiration, creativity, and passion.
Personality: Being one part untamed wilderness, and another part spontaneous action, Naja Naja is a difficult deity to pin down. Never the sort to stop for a moment, she can be seen spreading her not-insubstantial influence far and wide across whatever she may claim as her territory. Naja Naja does not care for artificial barriers and boundaries, and all else being equal will tend to seek to erode or destroy them. Her machinations are nigh-unstoppable--being, as she is, a literal force of nature--but a good story (with romance!) can divert her surprisingly easily. In her capacity as a goddess of inspiration and creativity, Naja Naja typically functions as a muse to mortals regardless of her coworkers' insistence that she please stay on her side of the fence they are trying to lead a civilization to glory here and this habit of filling peoples' heads with unpredictable ideas is making it very difficult. She can occasionally draw the ire of less patient gods for this reason.
Appearance: To mortals, Naja Naja will typically take the appearance of a large female mortal, with skin the color of fertile soil and clothed in garments made of wondrous foliage that changes with the seasons and breathtaking flowers the likes of which have never been seen and will never be seen again. Her arrival is heralded with exotic birdsong, and flowers grow wherever she treads. To her peers, she is much the same, but here prefers to robe herself in galaxies and announce her entrance with supernovae.
Symbols: Flowers, particularly alyssums, white carnations, and clematis. Sometimes associated with certain instruments as well. Depictions of Naja Naja are most commonly rendered in gold or polished wood.
Trivia: No, she was not, in fact, responsible for the collapse of any major civilizations, and she would appreciate it very much if you would all stop bringing that up, thank you very much.

Name: Caractus.
Domain: Experimentation, Scholars, Change, Adaptation.
Personality: Caractus is one that seeks to use his knowledge, though lacking the creativity of other gods, to cause evolution and change among the landscape as well as that which lives in it. It puts aside most emotion for the purposes of greater learning though its curiosity is never ending when dealing with cause and effect. In this way being a god allows it to simulate mortal life and however the lesser beings act when given a push providing for endless opportunities and possibilities for his own experiments. It finds the intervention of others gods mildly frustrating at times as they influence what he intends as a controlled environment though they allow for things he does not, so while it annoys him there is fascination in the interactions they would cause. Many of these factors lead to a studious ever busy god who wants nothing more than to change a few specific factors and let the mortals play out existence before eventually dying out as they do.
Appearance:
Symbols: Eyes, Many-sided shapes, Glass vials.
Trivia: Caractus is an older entity who has seen many other gods though with a strong lack of interest in them or what they do as it simply wishes to observe and learn along with his mortal creations as they achieve their enlightenment from simple beings. Other gods might have a distain for it's unwillingness to take a more direct role in things but Caractus rarely judges them for viewing him in such a way, let them think what they will so long as they keep themselves busy.

Name: Zambura
Domain: Zambura is often seen as the goddess of cowardice, ugliness and toadyism.
Personality: Feeble and outwardly submissive, Zambura has often been disregarded as far as gods are concerned. Perhaps this isn’t without just reason considering her creations don’t often amount to much and most have resulted in nuisances for everyone else. It’s not that she is without good intentions, she is just a very unfortunate god – think of a cowardly Don Quixote and you roughly have Zambura.
Appearance: Zambura’s primary form is somewhat humanoid from the shoulders up. However she is lacking a face, only a pale yellow fabric covers what most assume to be her cranium. The rest of her body seeps down into a mass of oily fat, with cockroach-like legs protruding from her large body that struggle to drag her weight around. The word often used to describe her is disgusting.
When she appears to mortals she prefers to take on the form of a pale, slight-framed boy, seemingly around the age of 9. This suits her so as not to appear threatening or intimidating. In this form she is most able to gather the intel she requires.
Symbols: Nematodes, rotting meat inhabited by maggots, sweat, and any green-brown color.
Trivia: Many attribute the creation of the cockroach to Zambura.

Name: Uktar
Domain: stone, blacksmithing, metalworking, machinery
Personality: Rather wise, and certainly very intelligent. A creator at heart. What he creates, he hopes it creates something as well. He has no desire to see destruction, and hopes that there is never a need for any. However, just because he doesn't like destruction does not mean he is incapable of causing any. On the contrary, when he is angered, one should worry about every moment they spend on land, for the earth alone can be devastating to a mortal.
Appearances:
Symbols: Boulders, hammer and anvil.
Trivia: He likes blueberry pie.

Name: Manus
Domain: Stars, stories, sculpture, and decay
Personality: Manus cares little for the machinations of their fellow gods and only seeks to pursue their muse. They are obsessive in their creations, every detail must be flawlessly perfect or perfectly flawed for them to be satisfied. Finally, in the end they seek to destroy what they create. Beauty isn't defined by something's ability to last forever, instead it lies in the fact that they don't.
Appearance: Manus does not have a "true" form so to speak. They are a force, of both creation and destruction. Their fellow gods register that they exist but no physical body is present. However should they deign to be among mortals they take upon this form, appearing as male, female, or a combination of both depending on the beholder.
Symbols: Stars, scrolls, chisels, black holes, and the various shades of purple.
Trivia: In the end Manus will be one of the gods who actively tries to end the world. It's nothing particularly personal, just godly nature. Besides that Manus has a fondness for gods who are are artists as well and has a dislike for those who create but does not destroy and those who destroy but do not create.

Name: Orfai; The Eternal, The Change Lord, Keeper of Secrets, Librarian of the Black Libraries, Collector of 'curiosities' etc etc etc... (He enjoys showering himself with titles, no matter how dubious the grounds for them are...)
Domain: 'Secrets', 'Change' (Sometimes, and perhaps more accurately, construed as 'Chaos', particularly in the presence of Caractus, though Orfai insists that he is the God of Change because chaos is just rampant change.) 'Collecting', 'Forbidden Knowledge' (How he decides what is forbidden knowledge is anybodies guess...)
Personality: He is generally a curious person who thirsts for knowledge. Depending on ones relationship with him, he can either come across as friendly or a smug snake. He doesn't waste his time on those who aren't interesting to him and mostly does things because he wants to see the change that will result from it. He gifts great powers and artefacts to a select few mortals just to see what they will change using them. Sometimes, he would even change people into powerful monsters and demons. This has led to some power-hungry individuals and cults in past worlds making disgusting sacrifices in his name in an attempt to make him appear, hoping they will be able to benefit from these gifts. Most of what Orfai does is simply to see a reaction. He is neither good nor evil, for all his domains also have a brighter side that he also exercises, but has in many of the worlds that have been created been considered evil because he would bring chaos to the world. He is similar to Caractus is that he has a domain of change (or at least, claims he has the domain of change... much like he showers himself with titles) however he is much closer to the embodiment of rampant, never ending change than to the careful and methodical experimentation of Caractus
While his presence may not be obvious, he usually has his hands mixed up in big changes somewhere. Whether it be the fall of a nation, an important new invention or the death of a prominent mortal. His powers are often not on display for mortals and occasionally even the other gods to see, as he is not interested in prestige, power or even recognition, only creating endless change. At some times, however, they are displayed in horrible ways. In the last world he was entrusted to be a guardian of, a great trade city known as Iriwall was razed. Orfai sent minions to completely destroy the city, and they arrived en masse and slaughtered everyone inside the city, bringing down it's great towers and destroying all the goods in it's massive warehouses. Orfai then recalled his armies and watched as the economy of many, many nations suffered. Great businesses losing billions in coin and making grand cut backs to cover it. Millions losing their jobs and starving, old and well established family businesses collapsing and nations declaring sudden wars and sending their knights to kill one another in an attempt to save their crumbling economies. Such change, what a glorious year for Orfai that was! And a great secret to be hidden from the mortal world, chaos and discord.
Appearance: Orfai, being the prince of change, appears in many different forms. In fact, sometimes he appears as a formless void or even changes through multiple forms right in front of others. This had led to him being almost impossible to depict by mortals, so he is often instead indicated by his mark, which is perhaps the only uniform thing about him.
Symbols:
Orfai's Mark, his only major and permanent symbol.
Trivia: Orfai keeps a small pocket realm of his own, which he uses to store secrets that are entrusted to him or that he deems he needs to keep, as well as other curiosities or things that simply amuse him. He gets rid of almost everything within it after an Armageddon, though some things have become permanent additions to his little collection; These he generally uses in the end to bring about some form of change or at the very least amuse him.
He respects gods who enjoy change or advancement but despises those who would maintain an order or stagnation.
When Armageddon comes along, he goes absolutely berserk and dumps pretty much everything he's collected into the world... and takes the souls of those he deems amusing into his collection...
Orfai 'shadow marks' secrets if a mortal is able to summon him or wants it hard enough. This confers the ultimate protection on a secret; No matter what others do, something always intervenes that means they won't uncover the secret. Once a deal is made, it's held at Orfai's pleasure, however...
Although he enjoys rampant change and chaos, he does take his duty... semi-seriously. The Supreme Cosmic Entity has assigned him to help oversee this universe, after all, and it's rather unhealthy to disobey the Supreme Cosmic Entity.
