[hider=Character Sheet]
Name: Joab-Balaam
Primordial or Conceptual: Conceptual

Domain: Dogma. Morals, Ethics, Law all based under sacrosanct order and religious conviction. The administration of what is holy, what is punishable, what is praiseworthy in a code of sacred law. An example of this is framing a sacrosanct law to be followed, designating an act to be a transgression against sacrosanct law, judging an act to be a transgression against sacrosanct law, executing punishment on the transgressor of sacrosanct law.

Portfolio: Punishment. In the instance of any and all transgression, Joab-Balaam finds themselves the bailiff of their punishment. Once a transgression has been made, punishment follows. This far reaching ability to administer punishment requires transgressions, since punishment cannot be upheld without first the criminal. 

Their Realm: A sea of golden clouds. Suspended in these clouds are stone pillars marked with the sacrosanct laws. Once one is written, it is said it cannot be struck out.

Persona: Joab-Balaam is missing one of the divine traits often found in gods and mortals alike -- grace. As such, Joab-Balaam is without forgiveness, without compassion, and without empathy. There is no lesser evil and no greater good, there is only rewards and obedience, or transgressions and punishment. There is only the dogma, only order. 

Beyond that, Joab-Balaam is possessive and extremely ambitious. A servant to themselves and a considered martyr to all else. Humour has little place in Joab-Balaam’s visions, as does wordiness, great debates, tantalizing concepts and philosophical argument. Directness is favored over metaphors, activity over dreams, and doing over contemplation. 

Joab-Balaam’s preferred method of communication is through prophets, deigning their absolute voice to be too sacred for most mortal ears.

Base Form: Joab-Balaam is a horizon splitting sea of rolling clouds of liquid light. Seeping across a landscape as a blinding haze and spilling over sacred temples as a blanket of golden light.

Domain Form: An endless pulse of golden light. It is hard to understand if Joab-Balaam dwells in the clouds or if the clouds dwell in Joab-Balaam.

Avatar: Othniel

Othniel is a color best described as difficult to determine and painful to stare at. It’s form is exactly that, an ever moving color that paints across the surfaces of reality in search of its next task. Inevitably it will color over a living being, and in this case it will impart prophesy or otherwise the will of Joab-Balaam upon it.

It is not beyond Othniel to use painted individuals as fingers and tools in Joab-Balaam’s plans, or to raise them to the level of prophet, or lower them to the level of tormented. When Othniel is finished, they will wash away -- their colorful shadow streaking away across the land to the next place.

Their personality is nearly as single minded as that of Joab-Balaam’s, but the same cannot be said for the prophets that arise from this process.
