Primordial.

[color=violet][b]Domain:[/b][/color]
Perfection. More specifically, bodily perfection, and the constant strive to achieve it. Caedin’s domain is the improvement of one’s appearance or abilities, so that they may reach their physical peak. Although perfection is unobtainable at worst and subjective at best, a fact which Caedin is painfully aware of, it is nonetheless a goal he insists on striving for, and encourages all beings regardless of position or stature to do the same. 

His followers will never achieve true perfection, but so long as they are always finding new ways to improve, he does not care.

Glamour. The attractiveness of a sentient being’s physical form. With this power, Caedin has the ability to alter the physical appearance of himself and others, or to give people the means to help improve themselves on their own. He cannot fundamentally change a creature’s shape, he can only make its appearance more or less appealing according to either his own personal standards, the individual’s standards, or the standards of the creature’s species.

[color=violet][b]Realm:[/b][/color]
Caedin’s realm, Meliorem, is constantly shifting. When he isn’t receiving visitors or otherwise occupied, he is reforming and reshaping it in his eternal pursuit of perfection. Occasionally he will find something he is temporarily satisfied with, bringing his realm to a state of peace, but it never lasts. If he hears he is receiving a visitor, then he will shift his realm into something he believes [i]they[/i] will find appealing, but he has enough restraint to not constantly reshape it when they are actually present.

All that said, his realm does have a few “default” states he finds pleasant or enjoyable, even if he knows they are imperfect. A tropical beach with a sparkling ocean, a cabin in the midst of a tranquill forest, and a magnificent castle with a glorious view from a mountaintop.

[color=violet][b]Persona:[/b][/color]
Caedin is something of a paradox; a perfectionist who knows that perfection is unobtainable. He encourages himself and others to rise up and seek improvement, despite knowing there is no end to this quest, and even if there was an end it would make life lose all meaning. 

Despite this inner turmoil, he soldiers on. To share his doubts with others would be to show weakness, and perhaps even invalidate his own existence. He maintains an exuberant persona, providing positive reinforcement to gods and mortals alike, while taking the time to enjoy the finer things in life - perhaps to distract himself from his own internal strife.

As previously stated, his philosophy is centered around the perpetual quest for physical improvement. It does not matter if you are strong, attractive, weak, or ugly. So long as you are attempting to become something better than you already are, you are worthy of his respect. If a mortal becomes too complacent with their current prowess, and succumbs to entropy or stagnation, then he loses interest.

He is not as judgemental toward his divine kin, because he understands they are already among the most powerful beings in existence, but he holds great respect for other gods who still find ways to improve themselves or to help others seek improvement.

[color=violet][b]Base Form:[/b][/color]
Caedin’s Base Form is that of a seven foot tall man, with white hair and violet eyes. His skin is flawless, and his muscles well-sculpted. He prefers to wear only a simple loincloth, but is willing to put on armour or clothing if for whatever reason he decides it is necessary. He makes minor tweaks to his form from time to time - nothing that is blatantly noticeable, just slight changes in his eye colour, hair length, muscle mass, or skin tone.

[color=violet][b]Domain Form:[/b][/color]
Caedin’s Domain Form is almost identical to his base form… only it is a woman instead - a foot shorter with a curvaceous and well-endowed figure. In this form, she tends to prefer wearing short gowns, but once again will not object to wearing less revealing clothes.

[color=violet][b]Avatar:[/b][/color]
Caedin’s Avatar is Makellos, the Spirit of Perfection. Makellos takes the form of a swirling mass of purple energy. This avatar does not have a physical form, and instead latches onto mortals, inspiring them to pursue the Path to Perfection. During this possession, their form is gradually altered into an idealized version of themself. 

Makellos and the host become one entity. The host maintains most of their personality, but adopts Caedin’s philosophy and drive for self-improvement. Thus, they will strive to ensure that Caedin’s will is done, by inspiring others to follow the Path, but each may have a slightly different interpretation on how to go about it, and may also still be bound by the behavioural patterns of their old self. 

The possession lasts a few years, before Makellos eventually leaves, moving on to find a new host. The old host will have their personality restored, and the enhancements remain, but they may feel lost or confused as a result. With each possession Makellos acquires new information about the host he is inhabiting, which is telepathically sent to Caedin, who uses it to devise new methods to perfect the host’s species.

While not possessing someone, Makellos rarely communicates with anyone other than Caedin himself, so it is somewhat unclear if Makellos possesses a personality of its own. But it does, and each host it possesses influences it somewhat, just as it influenced them.
