While his size often fluctuates to correspond with the current situation, his base form being around 70 meters (78 Feet) long and 20 meters (65 Feet) high (think Drogon in the latest GOT season), he has been rumored to grow as tall as 160 meters (524 feet) and supposedly even "bigger". His heads can also split into [url=https://wikizilla.org/wiki/images/f/f6/AniGoji3_teaser_website_bg.png]three long bodies[/url], their names being Dra, Kai, and Rós respectively. Each body takes control of a certain weather function and have their own unique personalities. - [color=fff200][b]Dra[/b][/color] represents the middle head and is considered to be the leading-head of the three due to his high intelligence. He often has the final word in matters when combined with the other two heads. He has the power to cast upon storms that represent liquid water (rainstorms, thunderstorms, lightning, hurricanes, typhoons, etc). Can fire a beam of high-pressured water, lightning, or wind at opponent. [b][color=00aeef](Water-Based)[/color][/b] - [color=fff200][b]Kai[/b][/color] represents the left head and is considered as the most ruthless and malevolent individual, as well as the most insane. He has the power to manipulate droughts, firestorms, tornados, and dust storms. Can fire a beam of fire or heated wind at the opponent. [b][color=f26522](Earth/Fire-Based)[/color][/b] - [color=fff200][b]Rós[/b][/color] represents the right head and is the more cold and calculating individual, often considered to be the most cautious. He has the power to manipulate blizzards, as well as hail and ice storms, etc). Can fire a beam of ice/cold energy or chilling wind at the opponent. [b](Ice-Based)[/b] - [color=fff200][b]Drakairós[/b][/color] is the combination of all three dragons into one body. All three heads act independently with one another, however the middle head has most of the control due to his intelligence. Any form of weather can be used in this form, whether it be hurricanes, heatwaves, snowstorms, or otherwise, as well as their respected beams. If these separate beams combine to make a "uni-beam", its power is enough to wipe out entire villages. [color=fff200][b][u]Realm:[/u][/b][/color] [b]Zepharios, The Palace Of Storms[/b] Above the tallest peaks within the chilling North, a large swirling dark vortex serves as a portal to Drakairós' domain. No mere mortal can reach it unless they are able to fly and even then the chaotic skies act as a natural barrier against foreign invaders. Yet those who manage to survive the strong galeforce winds and the cackling thunder that yearns to strike you down of the "Vortex of Zephyr", may find themselves greeted to the heavenly atmosphere that is the Palace of Storms. You'd plant yourself on a golden road, her stones gleaming brightly as the ethereal skies above are filled with bright orange and pink vibrance, forever casting a benevolent sunset. Follow the path and you'll reach the massive greek-styled palace, coated from divine ash-white marble with golden highlights. Amongst it, floating islands can be seen randomly dotted across the place, with several low-hanging chunks just barely peaking over the swirling ocean of clouds. However, one mustn't always expect such a beautiful marvel if they dare to climb up the vortex. Depending on the golden dragon's mood and/or the time of the year, one might find themselves still encapsulated in the dark chaotic storm, fueled by heavy rains, and even more powerful winds. Cyclones may also be often seen causing mute destruction in the distance. Or perhaps one might encounter a blanket of snow and ice covering the golden path and the islands nearby. And yet all of this can change within mere seconds. [color=fff200][b][u]Biography:[/u][/b][/color] As one of the first gods, Drakairós plays an important part in keeping the realm of Tabrasa balanced. The weather is under his very control and he'll do anything that he deems fit, along in establishing a region's climate and the survival of the mortals below him. The mortals constantly worship the God of Weather, for his abilities shape the very foundations of their civilization. With a steady supply of blessings, they'll be often guaranteed rain for their crops, and sometimes spared of severe weather patterns.. Yet they also fear him, for if they allow themselves to criminally dishonor or insult the hydra god, they will be severely punished for their insolence. They can be met with a whole number of punishments - hurricanes, tornados, droughts, floods, blizzards - anything that which can bring an entire town to its knees. Only once the mortals redeem themselves through sacrifice and grand blessing would Drakairós spare them from death and bring about the necessary change in order to have them survive. Very little is known regarding his origins, yet legends have stated that Drakariós was once very different compared to his current state. In the beginning, he only a single dragon, with only one head. Known simply as Dra, he once prowled the world on his lonesome, and had virtually no powers. His only power was simply though flight and he scoured the world for food and self-purpose. While he often was able to receive food, the weather around him was utterly chaotic and more often then not drove away his prey. Whenever this happened, the dragon was forced to follow the retreating prey for miles and miles on end before being able to capture them again. It was always a tiring journey and he absolutely disliked migrating randomly from day to day just to find hunt. But one day, when on a hunt for a giant bird creature, Dra encountered an artifact that would change his life. The dragon discovered a bright silver rock, which unbeknownst to him was a weather divine cord. Having been ravenous for food for the past several days, the dragon ate the stone and was greeted to an unexpected outcome. His body surged with this newfound power and he eventually found himself in control of the weather itself. He could control when and where the storms flew, as well as manifest blizzards and droughts in order to drive out food prey into the open for Dra to capture and eat. He quickly established himself as a god and was equally quick to be worshipped by the mortals for his tremendous power. For a time, he really seemed to master his once worse enemy... Well, almost. While he surged in magical energy, it eventually became too much for him to handle. The amount of magic slowly began to strain his long, slender body as he was constantly riddled with terrible aches and pains. That along with the mortals demanding his powers all at once from one corner of Tabrasa to the other, also tired him immensely. If only there was some way he could control this power. Yet his prayers were answered as his body began to morph in order to keep the magical energy balanced through his body. His body began to fluctuate, his tubular body transforming into a powerful and muscular vessel, and suddenly grew two heads, each carrying a portion of Dra's power. The only drawback was that certain portions of his psychi would be placed into each head. Dra's left head, Kai, would inherit his destructive and insane side, whilst controlling the power of drought, firestorms, and tornados. He acts almost purely upon burning empathy. His right head, Ros, would inherit his cold yet calculating side, controlling and manipulating the power of blizzards and other cold weather patterns. He acts almost purely upon cold logic. Dra was left as the leading head, still having major influence over his two conjoined subjects, and kept his reasonable and logical side. He represents a balance between the two head's ideals of thinking. And if he needs to be in separate locations at once, they can split into three dragons and portal their way towards their destined location. Thus Drakairós was born. Today, he's usually seen high within his Palace or soaring across the land with today's weather close behind him. Rarely does he join with the rest of the god's debates revolving around their politics, for he has virtually no interest unless directly mentioned.

Behind his radiating helmet and his voice of order, two glowing white eyes are all what can be seen of his face with the rest concealed within its shade. A bright halo can be seen hovering above his head and has two massive wings jetting from his back to cast shade on those unworthy to see the light that shines behind him. In fact, wherever he goes, he projects a rather bright light from his body, reminding everyone who he comes in contact with who he is. [color=fff79a][b][u]Realm:[/u][/b][/color] [b]Terratoria, The Radiant Palace[/b] Known by many as simply "The Radiant Palace", Terratoria is located on the highest peak of Serphrates, the island left of the main continent. It's a majestic holy palace that is covered with gold marble walls and always shines a valiant hue from the peak at all times. The palace is hidden above the clouds that lay just below the mountain's peak but the trek up for a mere mortal is exhausting given how tall the mountain is. While there exists secret portals deep within the mountain that allows people to bypass most of the hike upwards, they are extremely well hidden and are only used for his ground-based military forces to traverse quickly to and from the palace. Even then, Hyperion could simply teleport the individual to him if he so wishes. Surrounding the mountain also exists a seal that only prevents beings of darkness and pure chaos from reaching the palace without suffering major burns of holy light within a several mile radius. It's essentially a security system that determines who and who isn't worthy in greeting the God of Light. This seal is provided by a large golden monolith located deep inside the palace and guarded by priests and a selected few angelic warriors. If this monolith was to fall, the seal will be broken and darkness and chaos can approach the palace with no problem. Even then, they'd have to get past a large army of angels before they can attempt to lay waste to it, along with Hyperion himself if he's present. [color=fff79a][b][u]Biography:[/u][/b][/color] Darkness. The pitch black of the unknown is a mysterious entity. So dark, so cold, so... foreboding. Most mortals are afraid of it, for it's anyone's guess at what might jump out of it. Only light can possibly peel away through the bleak shadows, providing a path for everyone to traverse safely and without fear. Yet without darkness, there can be no light, no good without evil, no happiness amongst grief, for nothing can exist if it's direct opposite does not also exist. This is what the God Of Light, Hyperion, struggles to understand as he tries to strive a balance between both he and his greatest nemesis, all whilst attempting to satiate his inner desire to bathe the entire realm in light. It's a hard thing to manage for someone with such great responsibilities to hold. When the world first began, and when the first ray of sunlight shined upon the newly virgin lands of Tabrasa, Hyperion was born into existence. As one of the first gods to be born, his role would be to shine his divine light to every corner of the realm and to vanquish all darkness and evil from it. And for a significant portion of his life, that's exactly what he attempted to do. For it was all that he was ever told and that he only knew upon his creation. Having created the golden palace of Territoria on the peak of Mt. Peratubo, on the island of Serphrates left to the main continent, he assembled a vast army of angels and other holy entities to help him on his crusade against this vile enemy. Darkness lead to evil and, according to him, it must be purged to save the world from complete corruption. Their source, Sister Oao - the goddess of darkness - will be exterminated. But as he lead his army all around Tabrasa, the years ticking by, Hyperion's goal continued to stray farther and farther from his iron grasp. No matter what he did, how he did it, and when he did it, the darkness never completely shunned from his vision. It was always one step ahead. Whenever he would purge a dark portion with his divine light, would the shadows engulf another portion of the land. For the longest time he tried to beat the odds but eventually he had to come to terms with his predicament. His divine conquest - his quest to bring light to every portion of the realm - will never be achieved. What he had learned instead was that it all revolved around balance. Without darkness, there can be no light. And the collateral damaged that had been unintentionally caused in his wake is simply unacceptable. This was the painful truth he had to deal with. Yet even then, he was still conflicted about his duty. He still desired the world to be bathed in this holy light, one that mortals looked up too with praise, as they abhorred the darkness. They believed in his cause. The majority wanted Hyperion to win. And somehow, with their praise, there is still hope in that happening... someway... somehow... Reluctantly suppressing his desire to purge his arch-nemesis for the meantime, he was forced to humble himself and rather than spending his time on the frontlines, he ought to tend back to his kingdom of Terratoria and establish it further. He headed home and began to focus on the problems it was suffering, tending more to the needs of the people with compassion, creating more space for homes and crops, amongst others. He made it that his kingdom would come first before anything else, for it was his duty to keep his home safe. He became more pragmatic as a result. Even then, he also attempt to make amends to the other gods around him, establishing secure relationships with his allies. Yet despite his attempts to distract himself, he never did forget about his encoded orders. Whilst he does promote the balance of light and darkness, he still wants to purge what he proclaims as "chaos" and achieve his initial goals as a whole. While the wrath his old persona is currently more akin to a slumbering beast, with notable exceptions, when it awakes, all will feel his divine judgement upon the world of Tabrasa.

He wears a black robe, riddled with pockets, as well as wearing specialized leather gauntlets, long sturdy boots, and sports a bird-like pale white mask with a long jagged beak. When he walks around, a trail of black smoke dissipates behind him and is often carrying his staff as well as a lantern of green flame. Not much is known about what lies beneath these thick garments, although there are many wild speculations. Some say that he's a sickening corpse, with decomposing flesh, sickening bubos, and his guts being practically visible in his chest region. Others say that he's simply an anthropomorphic bird, who wears this outfit to mask his identity from the others. However, no one really knows for certain. Nerplaguis can also transform into different animals, with his most common form being that of a large raven, often used for espionage in the real world. He can also transform into a wisp of gas/smoke/disease, allowing him to get through tight spaces and for even better espionage. [color=A9A9A9][b][u]Realm:[/u][/b][/color] [b]The Laboratory Dungeons of Nergalis[/b] Deep within the caves in the mountains north of Verzak, lies Nerplaguis' personal laboratory dungeons. It is a dark and wretched place, filled with the scent of everlasting death and decay, as it plagues the gothic stone-walls of this hideaway. This area is so toxic, that unless the visitors are immune to disease or wear a specialized mask that Nerplaguis provides for his VIPs, they risk getting intoxicated and sick. Even the gods aren't at all safe from what they may breathe in. This is where every great disease, mutation, strain, and disorder are created in, with the plague god always experimenting with new ingredients that he fines across the realm. Shelves of books, potions, and ingredients cover most of his workshop, along with specialized syringes and other weird contraptions that would help him spread his infectious creations. He snatches random test subjects from nearby villages and plants them in cold, barred, cells weekly, and infects them with his latest creations, where he watches as they slowly wither away in pure agony. The only entrance to the laboratories can be found near the north base of the mountains, leading into a labyrinth of sprawling cave systems. For those unfamiliar with the cave system it is a daunting task to find their way in and out. In addition, several [url=http://pm1.narvii.com/6951/33bed4fb71934cb2d8574650151484fd59f62968r5-686-1024_00.jpg]Plague Sentinels[/url] guard the laboratories and the cave systems leading directly to it, wielding their sickly blades to strike down those who get too close. [color=A9A9A9][b][u]Biography:[/u][/b][/color] Nerplaguis is often seen as a scheming, psychopathic, alchemist working deep within the confines of his personal laboratories, whilst sporting a cruel sense of humor and taste in entertainment. As the god of disease, he regulates domain and overseeing every plague, sickness, illnesses, strains, disorders, and mutations he creates with a high praise of sadistic professionalism. He's notoriously infamous for kidnaping random mortals from all around the realm, unbiased regarding their race, gender, ethnicity, age, and what not, and uses them as live test subjects for him to test his newest concoctions. And whilst they suffer, screaming in agony or whimpering in the dark corners of their prison cell, he simply watches them for days on end for pure entertainment until they die. Once affirming their effectiveness, he plants the disease in a random person somewhere in the outside realm and waits for all hell to break loose. For many viewing from the outside, Nerplaguis is a cruel and mentally compromised psychopath who cares not for the lively hood of mortals and threatens to plague the entire realm with the worse diseases imaginable. All of this is simply a game to him. But Nerplaguis does have standards and recognition regarding his status. His overall purpose in releasing his diseases are simply to manage population control over those who have grown far too big in population to simply be killed off by traditional means. He would test his new diseases on selected test subjects first before releasing them to his selected demographic, often wiping out their members to a significant degree so that others may allow themselves to live. And what about those who have survived his experiments in the cell? What about those rare few who have been exposed to the most horrid diseases in his arsenal and yet still be able to survive and heal? He often just lets them go. The God of Disease believes that his diseases aren't simply killing everyone just for the sake of killing, but rather rattling out the weak and making way towards the strong. Those who've survived his worse experiments have overcame odds that most men would simply falter too. And he treats them with a heavy amount of respect. But these specimens are incredibly rare and it still wouldn't justify the unethical methods he issues towards his subjects and how he doesn't bother maintaining them once they are outside. He just lets them do their thing until they wither out on their own and thus he's back to creating a new plague. But rumors had been steadily roaming around Tabrasa regarding some of Nerplaguis' most disturbing projects. It's been said that he has sicknesses stored away that are so toxic and so contagious, that it can effect the gods themselves. Whilst his laboratories are already toxic enough to potentially make the gods sick already, the fact that there are claims of him storing these biological weapons of mass divine destruction is certainly alarming. One only hopes that he never has to use them, at least when it comes to eradicating all life in the realm... [color=A9A9A9][b][u]Notes:[/u][/b][/color] TBA [color=A9A9A9][b][u]Misc:[/u][/b][/color] - Nerplaguis' Plague Sentinels are seen as mindless automatons reincarnated from surviving victims who chose to serve him, those claiming that they can't live without being dependent on sickness. Only four roam the laboratories thus far. - According to Nerplaguis' himself, he claims that the first disease that he ever made was leprosy. - Some of Nerplaguis' more tamer diseases, such as the common cold and fevers, had been disowned by him for their lack of effectiveness and tameness against mortals. These types can be easily cured, yet are also able to strengthen the immunity system slightly every time they are casted out from the person's body. - Hayim is effectively his arch-rival, who's constantly trying to foil his plans by healing everyone infected by his touch. - “Put this on my tabula” [/center] [/hider] [hider=Relationships] TBA [/hider] [hider=Creations] [b][color=a9a9a9]Every Sickness Ever[/color][/b] - As the God of Disease, if there's anything that makes you sick, it most certainly would've been created by him. From minor pathogens, to roaring plagues, even manipulating parasites, mutagens, and disorders, Nerplaguis has an entire arsenal of "bioweapons" that can destroy the realm several times over. [b][color=a9a9a9]Staff Of Ailment[/color][/b] - Nerplaguis' staff allows him to create and manipulate disease to his will. He can send a large cloud of it to any nearby village and send an onslaught of plague-bearing animals, such as rats, to infect a larger town. [b][color=a9a9a9]Plague Sentinels[/color][/b] - Four giant hulking armored automatons guard Nerplaguis' laboratories, being made of the survivors who survived against his major experiments but are heavily reliant on these plagues to simply survive. They are casted upon with iron armor and carry plague-bearing swords which constantly reek of plague and illness. [/hider]
