The Odyssey

I have been lost in rural lands for two days now. I have finally returned to civilization where words and acts are bridled like tamed animals.

So I will write a post soon!

I just need to rest a little bit.

The Odyssey

I'm also going to be writing shorter posts, so I won't be doing much written-together collabs.

TNT - The Nameless Tavern. (Always Open)

Drinks & Divinity

She listened to the multiple conversations her extended self and others were engaged in, and allowed herself another small smile from where she watched unseen. Her ability to adapt to humanity was working well, while she simultaneously shared sacred words with Samael - another being beyond the comprehension of mortal minds.

So she sent another aspect of herself to act even more mundane and mortal.

Anath Homura approached the bar and glanced at the man whom owned the tavern. She offered a smile he could see, a glimpse of her goddess-self - a promise of peace and perfection - and she politely asked if she could have a drink...

>I'd say we could just use the order of gods as they are presented in the characters tab, but unless you're managing to spam replies I feel like it won't be that hard to follow. Again, one post a week is good enough for me. There's no rush.

@Zyx

I've suddenly become the last to post lol. That's fine, I'm super looking forward to what everyone writes!

The Odyssey

I'm also not in a hurry to post, especially if someone else prefers to be the first to arrive. Hmm... I'll wait a couple of hours for now.

TNT - The Nameless Tavern. (Always Open)

I have a terrible idea... what happens when the goddess gets drunk?

The Odyssey

So from the cast we currently have if we were humans we have: The introver, dutch from red dead cause he always seems to have a plan, the child that everyone protects, the sweet heart, the energetic jock (but it a girl), and someone who wishes to be a hero.

@DX3214

The real question is whether or not any of them have a license for driving the RV.

Being pulled over by police is going to be really awkward otherwise.

The Odyssey

Anath Homura

~Anath Homura~

_{She/Her || Age: XV || Honor}

The Usurper || The Red Goddess of Rebellion || The Throne Thief

The Highest Judge || The Serene & Exalted Emperor || The Creatrix

"Always honor your life and livelihood, lest I lay claim to the little you have..."

▬▬ Nature & Demeanor ▬▬

Her Nature:
Martyr. Anath Homura has a willingness to suffer should enduring such bring any betterment to all others, always sharing her strength during times of strife and sorrow. However - She will sacrifice herself in a myriad of ways which many mortals could not comprehend, so she commonly serves the cosmos without receiving reward or respite which slowly spreads across the shape of her soul in scars and symbols called the Stigma. Despite this torture always afflicting her, she continually converts the stigma into cosmic power she calls the Gnosis, also known as sorcery. She gifts this power to the people, providing them with sorcery and spirit while she prevents their pain through sacred silence on her part to play.

Her Demeanor:
Judge. Anath Homura has a disciplined and dangerous mien, often gazing upon others with piercing conviction in her sole eye. There is sacred truth in her sight, illuminating those that are seen and always reflecting the real shape of the world. Before others, she appears as a young maiden with ruby-red hair held back by a black ribbon, loosely hanging behind her head like a fiery limb, and softly swaying. She commonly carries a golden glaive that possesses otherworldly power, and upon close inspection it shines with the celestial strength of a thousand-thousand suns. Lastly, she adorns herself in an elegant scarlet attire consisting of a complex yet simultaneously simple composition. A simple-minded poet would say she is similar to the loveliest of roses with terribly long and sharp thorns.

▬▬ Biography ▬▬

Because of her consumption of the Black Seed and successive sowing of the White Flower, the beginning of Anath Homura becomes an intricate weave of creation and annihilation. She has dreamed of otherworlds, and awakened from her slumber. She has seen what awaits at the bottom of the abyss. She has danced and sang with the stars, and also shunned them in silence. She refracted herself, shattering into infinite colors and concepts, until she recalled all of the pieces and was whole again. She has been both the created and the creatrix, always traveling upon the Sacred Path. This journey is just another step.

▬▬ Domain/Abilities ▬▬

Her Domain:
Honor. To be honorable is to adhere to a code of conduct. Honor consists of sacred laws that preserve the order and sanctity of existence, and manifests as virtue, valor, truth, and compassion. Without honor, an individual cannot be respected. Without honor, a society cannot be secure. Honor is the nobility of an individual, and the spiritual structure and integrity of a society. Honor begets order and strength against chaos and despair.

Honor requires sacrifice. Honor is the truth. The law is honor. Honor is dead.

In the world, honor must be upheld. When faith and dignity fade, Homura will restore their honor, or purge that which putrefies the beauty of creation. Honor is the armor that wards the world from the vile presence of corruption, and Homura invokes the power of oaths when mortals make their vows and perform their pledges. Those that break their oaths are cursed in accordance to the punishment prescribed when the oath was taken. To speak a lie is to gain the ire of Homura. Honor is the blade against the untruth, and Homura magically marks those that have committed crimes against the self and the world with dreadful runes that reveal their shameful nature. Only those that have been redeemed can be freed from their punishment.

As a goddess, Homura's presence evokes the power of honor and invests virtuous mortals near her with courage and strength. She strives to introduce and incorporate laws and rules within society in order to produce more honorable people in the world. Honor begets order, and commands respect; through her edict, Homura can imbue mortals with an imperious aura that instills in others an innate knowledge of their rank in society and reputation among their peers. Only through creating such a foundation can there be sacred change and beauty, an awakening of what it means to be divine, and a line that separates mere nihilistic motion from defiant endeavors.

Her Abilities:
Red Sorcery. This ability allows Anath Homura to warp existing inanimate matter through speech, often transmuting, animating, transfiguring, bending, or manipulating it; it is often signified by the red hue induced by applying it (lines of red and red words) and the red hued effects (red petals, red globs of potential)

White Sorcery. This ability allows Anath Homura to transport herself through teleportation; in addition to self-transformation; she projects astral shapes and artifacts forged from her soul. She had enhanced and new senses or methods of perception, as well as the enhancement or addition of natural capabilities like great strength or invulnerability; this sorcery is often signified by white lightning.

Red/White Sorcery. This ability allows Anath Homura to twist and alter another living being, applying the capabilities of the White & Red sorcery simultaneously on another entity, often used by others maliciously by changing the physical form or mental state of their opponents, allowing cursed red speech that instantly subdue, confuse, silence, or kill, transfiguration into trees or structures, but primarily used by Anath Homura to benevolently grant an allied warrior impenetrable flesh or immense strength, and shape-shift herself when she wants.

Black Sorcery. This ability allows Anath Homura to create something from nothing, accessing the direct ex nihilo creation of matter, energy, and life, as the Multiplicity did in when they formed the infinite universe. This sorcery is signified by the presence of the Stigma.
