[hider=My Proposed God :)] [b]Name:[/b] X (pronounced “ecks”) The Voice of the Silent, The Lord of Whispers. [b]True Name:[/b] Apocrypha Player Name: The Grey Dust [b]Domains (Portfolios):[/b] Knowledge ( Secrets ), Fate ( Mystery ) [b]Alignment:[/b] LN [b]Symbols:[/b] A circle with an X, representing something not only disallowed once, but twice over as something truly forbidden. It is also a reference to his namesake. [hider= Symbol of Secrets] [img]http://orig05.deviantart.net/e181/f/2012/094/6/d/marble_hornets_symbol_by_shadowthehedgehog950-d4v20vm.jpg[/img] [/hider] [b]Appearance:[/b] [hider=To Mortals and Gods:] [img]http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/036/a/9/wizard_by_van_der_dot-d4osajb.jpg[/img] [/hider] Appearing to both Mortals and Gods in the same form, X does not differ his appearance to either party. There is nothing to hide from Mortals in his appearance, as it reveals scarcely anything. It is easy to discern X is a God by the otherworldly manifestation, and yet knowing X is a God is meaningless in itself for no one but X knows anything more. A flowing robe conceals his physical manifestation, dissolving the God to little more than a pair of long slender hands emerging from the sleeves and a partial face beyond the veil of eternal mystery. There is no face beyond the lower half of his visage, and in truth nothing beneath the robes. [b]Personality:[/b] A mystic god who challenges the very idea of Omniscience. While it is possible to consider that X is a "fallen" god of knowledge, that is rather than sharing knowledge is the forces which obscures them, there are things which even the Gods themselves cannot answer perhaps of their own creation or the world before anything. It is the spirit of mystery and obscurity itself which awakened to manifest as X in moments after the Flash, for it existed long before the moment and the question was asked. Being the essence of such, X is cryptic and indirect, and yet welcoming to those who seek him. A paradoxical combination which makes it difficult to understand X's motives and agenda, as befits a god of secrets. While it can be assumed since he is the progenitor of obscurities, would it be safe to say he is Omniscience incarnate, choosing to selectively censor and edit information as needed? In truth even X does not know and seeks to know, for the duality of his role is to also encourage others to seek the hidden truth even as he may conceal it. Which explains the nature of his paradox. X is both a blessing and a curse, a curse for those who would fight against him to reveal who is plotting against them, but also a blessing to those who would seek to conceal a secret plot. Yet X is often receptive to bargains, for one block lifts the other, and perhaps a secret that is shared will create another in return. Thus the web of secrecy grows, and his Portfolio shall continue to expand. Much to his appeasement. [b]Dogma:[/b] If there was a Dogma for X, only X knows it and he has yet to share it. Some interpret his mantra to be to guard secrets, and protect the sanctity of the arcane. Others suggest the opposite, that is, to seek out truths and uncover secrets to revel in knowing the esoteric. As such the teachings of X are to be taken in either fashion, depending on the school of thought, as perhaps in truth X may encourage the constant struggle between two opposing ideas as a means to stabilize the flow of secrets and knowledge.
