Updated Dao Rugadh. [hider=God of Memory] [i] WHOEVER HAS THE MIND SHALL HAVE THE HEART AND BODY ALSO[/i] Name: His most well known names are Dao Rugadh, Gedag, Memon, Jiy Xinli, Neiblo, Mekhzier, and Iba. The gods refer to him by the name they find appropriate, and he refers to himself as Dao Rugadh. Domain: Memory Appearance: [img] http://goodomenslexicon.org.s164381.gridserver.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/pollutionhead.jpg [/img] Realm: The Akhainne lies in subspace. It appears to most as a mostly flat, smoky glass desert. It has light but no sun, and underneath the glass lies a flowing river of images, memories of man. Somewhere in this land lies a tower of mirrors, mirrors that reflect the memories of the soul who approaches it. Besides these, the realm is said to be empty, almost devoid, except for the occasional Sirenic, a creature who searches one's memory for a form to take and feeds on the memories of mortals when close until they forget everything they ever knew. They say that at the top of the tower lies Dao Rugadh's greatest secret, though what that is has been the subject of many a rumor. The entrances to the realm are found generally on plain fields, glass gates that stand out amongst the flat ground. They seem to occasionally move positions or disappear and reappear at various times. Biography: Dao Rugadh is the god of memory, yet he craves many things that are not his. While it may not be obvious to other gods, he is obsessed with mortals, especially because his domain deals almost entirely with the memory of mortals. He often takes the form of a mortal and manipulates memories until he can insert himself into a community as if he always lived there. Often, and this is another sign of his future ambitions, he will manipulate memories until he becomes the local ruler over the people, forming small cults. When he leaves these cults to return to his realm or find a different mortal land, they often remember him but forget every detail of his appearance or voice. He wishes for the power to create life, the power to manipulate the earth, many things. He wants to watch history, change history, be part of history, create history. His mood sometimes changes from one moment to the next, unpredictably shifting from anger to joy to calm, and sometimes his mood his an almost unbreakable calm. He loves being the center of attention. He regards his fellow gods as friends, despite the fact that he isn't actually on good terms with everyone. He is rumored to have been born with the first of man, and as stupid and newborn as them, too. They say he wandered, his mind blank, for many a day, taking the form of a tall, skeletal creature. Then he met some of the first of man, and he fed on them, too. Then his mind sprouted as he essentially became the first man whose mind he stole, and soon he began to comprehend what he truly was, beyond the man who he took. He replaced the man's position in the small tribe they had formed, but slowly, he began devouring more of them, until at last, in one fell swoop, he took the last five remaining humans in one burst. After that his power grew exponentially, or more accurately, he simply became more aware and more understanding of his powers. Fast forward a few years and he had begun creating the Akhainne, at the time a small subrealm with almost no power.  After that his history is shrouded. There are many rumors, but with his power over memory, none can be sure about what they think happened. Notes: Misc: "Put that on my Tabula." [/hider]
