Still quite WIP.. we'll get there eventually!! [hider=Nyrae, Goddess of Love and Beauty] [img]https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/002/820/358/large/redyan-.jpg?1466090541[/img] [color=lightcoral][center][h1]Nyrae[/h1][/center][/color] [center][i]Overmother - Aspect of Love - The Beautiful - Celestial Matriarch [/i][/center] [color=lightcoral][center]Witness her.[/center][/color] [hr] [b]Gender[/b] Female. [b]Major Domains[/b] Love and Beauty. [b]Minor Domains[/b] Lust. Seduction. Compassion. Desire. Marriage. Childbirth. Youth. [b]Opposing Domains[/b] Apathy. Hatred. Horror. Decay. [b]Appearance[/b] Such is the intensity of Nyrae's beauty that even a glimpse of what lies beneath her mask and her elaborate dress is enough to send civilisations mad with love and desire. For the benefit of both mortal and immortal realms she locks away her beauty with these sacred garments, which also have the effect of suppressing her boundless desire. No one who has witnessed the face of Nyrae has lived with enough sense to tell the tale. Since knowing the destructive power of her beauty, Nyrae for eons has vowed to never needlessly reveal her face again, barring times where she must use the totality of her power to preserve love and compassion within this world. [b]Core - Nyrae's Heart[/b] Nyrae's core takes the form of a blood-soaked orb that bleeds upon being handled, the crimson strands gently snaking around whomever touches it. If one held it to their ear, they would be able to hear the melodic beat of Nyrae's heart, immortalised within the sphere. [b]Personality[/b] Nyrae possesses the fierceness of a mother's love and the grace of a woman humble about her unfathomable beauty. She will go to no end to preserve love within every realm of existence, and will not shy away from challenging those who threaten to destroy this sacred value. With her greatest interest being the nurturing of love in all its forms, Nyrae's empathy can leave her vulnerable to those with more insidious motives, but an ever-faithful companion to those she can trust. As the aspect of love, Nyrae is eternally tormented by a desire to fulfil her own romantic urges and passions, however, allowing herself to submit to these desires would assure the hysterical madness of all creatures capable of love and the subsequent destruction of this world. As such it is her sacrifice to repress her powers to a level where she can preserve, rather than tarnish, and seeks instead to satisfy herself voyeuristically through the loving experiences of her people. She is there as a mother sees her newborn baby for the first time, birthed from blood, sweat and muffled breaths. She is there as young lovers consummate their desire of one another for the first time, losing themselves in the perfect unity of love. She is there as a wife looks at her husband cutting the hair of their son, and is so overwhelmed by the years that have gone by and how their love has never faded that she cries, unable to comprehend why the snip of those scissors and the hiccups of laughter from their son affects her so. Tragedy for Nyrae is a soul that drifts from this world into the afterlife before experiencing the miracle of love. It feels as though a sword pierces her own heart, she cannot help but feel the despair, loneliness and isolation of that soul. So it is her eternal quest to bring an end to such horror, for as the Overmother, all who walk upon this earth are her children, and she will do anything to ensure their souls take flight over this vast, cruel world. [b]Relationships[/b] Will be updated as the RP progresses. [hider=Legio, God-Emperor of Mankind]Nyrae admires the God-Emperor's passion for humanity and by nature she has always adored humans -- highly emotional, sensual beings that afford themselves the pleasures of life. Legio's disinterest in other races concerns Nyrae, for as the Overmother she will embrace all who walk upon the earth, however she believes in Legio's nature as a man of ferocious honour, not that of an apathetic dictator.[/hider] [hider=Odjuren, The Scalekeeping God] Time has made Nyrae fond of Odjuren, and she thinks of him as an old friend, though she is unsure if Odjuren himself would confirm that. She finds it difficult to decipher what he thinks of her, though she enjoys his good sense and value of balance and peace. Despite being the goddess of love and beauty, there are few immortals that Nyrae enjoys the company of, and Odjuren is one of them. She sees him as a respectable soul driven by order and dignity, however his distance from others often makes her wonder how highly he values love in the world. Nyrae also wishes Odjuren would have more faith in his poetry. [/hider] [hider=Ut, Weaver of Magics]Nyrae views Ut as a mother would a mischievous child. She believes he is too generous with his power, and as a new god should be more careful with his influence over these realms. Nyrae does not mind the presence of magic within the world, as long as it nurtures love and beauty and does not destroy it. [/hider] [hider=Wyle, The Trickster God]The pesky fox-cub unnerves Nyrae. She believes strongly that some things should never be blessed with wings. Despite this, her heart softens in his presence, and she is tormented with a desire to wrap the adorable creature in her arms and cradle him against-- Oh but how that pesky creature unnerves her...[/hider] [b]Allegiances[/b] As an older goddess that has witnessed roil after roil, the fading of Sandrimor concerns Nyrae. Though she felt he lacked passion, Nyrae considered Sandrimor to be a god she could trust with her vision, and could pacify those who disrespected it. With the throne now open to any old god who could claim it, Nyrae has a grave concern for the future of this world, and she prays (to herself) that she will be able to find other gods who share her insatiable passion for love and its place within this realm for the eons to come. With the throne unseated and the potential for a war among immortals imminent, Nyrae will pacify all who disrespect her domain, even if it requires the celestial matriarch to take the throne herself. [b]Domain[/b] [hider=Elanarea] [url=https://i.pinimg.com/564x/72/69/fb/7269fbec1058d80fa96f569d0c6ecba2.jpg]A glimpse of paradise.[/url] [i]Elanarea[/i] is Nyrae's perfect world, carefully constructed over eons by Nyrae's most devout worshippers living and dead. For all the beauty Nyrae must conceal in other realms, here, it reigns free, in every inch of her tender creations. Love too is liberated here, and a satisfaction of the most intense romantic and erotic desires awaits all who enter. It is the physical, architectural manifestation of love, sex and beauty. Such a place is not welcome to all however, and it is known that the world of Elanarea makes one confront the deepest truths of their core, testing whether one can purge the hatred that burdens them in the name of love, or be consumed by it. [/hider] [b]Peoples[/b] The Overmother is called upon by all who pray for love. Mothers seek her guidance on how to preserve love within their children and quell the flames of hatred that bid their destruction. Priests bless marriages in the name of Nyrae, suitors pray to her for requited love from those they desire. And all who desire beauty hope that even a cell of Nyrae's perfect being could fall from the heavens and grace their existence. It is also said that those who are dying alone have prayed to Nyrae for the feeling that they have been loved, and the goddess has been known to grace these doomed souls with a glimpse of her divine face -- cleansing every ounce of their isolation and allowing them to drift peacefully into the hands of death.
