[hider=Alekeros; Short App; God][hr] [b]Appearance[/b]: [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/OOg0Qzzm.jpg[/img][/center] [b]Name[/b]: Alekeros (Bennuryon, Calasir, Nephalia) [b]Embodiments[/b]: [list][*]Trigonal: Like dualism, Alek believes that one thing will always have a direct, equivalent, affect on another, but he also believes there will also be the unforeseen tertiary side effect. Alek likes things in threes, and his pacts always have a hidden extra clause. [*]Contracts: Give and take, balance, one thing must go so another may come. Alek watches carefully over his fair share of bargains, and will never break a deal or suffer to have one broken. [*]Cthonic: Hidden underworlds and dark magics are highly alluring to Alek, and he dabbles heavily in the supernatural and the arcane.[/list] [b]Special Powers[/b]: [list][*]Shadowsteps: Through study or talent or even natural gift, Alek can access and traverse the world of spirits with ease. With but a few short steps in the spiritual world, he can step back into the material world have traveled great distances at a fraction of the time. [*]Infernal: Alek has great power with darker magics, calling upon the most cthonic and tartarean of magics with ease, and shaping them to his will. Brimstone, hellfire, and dark transmutations; Alek's favourite magics to use are based in blood, or in fire. It is why his eyes are always alight with a crimson flare. [*]Pheonix: Shapeshifting comes easy to the immortals, and Alek is no different. He has a form of his own design, a great bird of flame and dark light; his feathers provide a radiance so great that their supreme temperature can almost be forgotten, and his face horned and violet, dripping with misting arcane powers.[/list] [b]Divine Artifacts[/b]: [list][*]Demiurge, The Staff: Alek's staff is a shapeshifting focus of his will, used to call upon and direct magic and sorcery with greater skill, power, and precision. It can take on the form of a staff, or a wand, or even a pole-arm; but it never changes from it's linear shape. [*]Sehen, The Mirror: Worn as a small triangular piece of jewelry dangling from his throat, Daimos is a mirror of far-sight and communication. It allows it's wearer to scry upon others or project his image forth to them - so long as he has found them in an unwarded place first. [*]Virtuity, The Crown: It can change color and shape, gain and lose gemstone adornments, become pointed or simplistic, but it is always a softly glowing band sat above Alekeros' head - levitating like a true halo. It's abilities are subtle, but just as useful as the rest; the crown bestows enhanced perception, intelligence, wit. It has a voice of its own, whispering ideas and suggestions, observations and clues into it's wearer's mind.[/list] [b]Sacred Symbols[/b]: [list][*]Firebirds: They are small and warm, and can be found all throughout Alek's domain. Red feathered, fluffy, and tiny, nesting in every nook and cranny. [*]Triangles: In ritual, be it magical, alchemical, or religious, a heavy use of triangular motifs imply association with Alek, and can even be used by well-informed acolytes to invoke a deal with him. [*]Red Eyes: It is well known that Alekeros', and all three of his aspects, have glowing red eyes. To mark two red dots on one's doors or walls would be to ask the god Alekeros to watch over their homes. to be born with flowing red eyes is to be born blessed and in favor with the Alekeros and have an affinity for his dark magics.[/list] [b]Nature[/b]: Alek is a recluse, quiet and inquisitive, but industrious and creative. Though he has a penchant for disturbing magic and dealings in unsavory locales, he is not generally regarded as an evil deity, but maybe he is a bit on the amoral side, lacking interest or knowledge of specific courtesies or niceties... or maybe he ignores those conventions on purpose. [b]Other[/b]: Ever since he first emerged there has always been three distinct characters in his soul, these personalities he called aspects, and were part of him even if they could physically split from his core with ease. These aspects were also able to come to the fore, like a mask over his true self, and yet no less their own individual for being part of his greater self. Alekeros has three such aspects: First is Nephalia, a feminine aspect, she is clever and intelligent, with a streak for compassion and mothering, but there is a subtle darkness to her as well, a penchant for morbid humor and ruthless vindication. Second is Bennuryon, a masculine aspect, and he is thoughtful and inquisitive, steadfast, fair, and honest, but he is not without a fiery passion, and when riled he can gain a cutting tongue, and become brutal with a loose trigger for calling on hellfire and brimstone to turn his enemies to ash. The third aspect is more primal, and doesn't have a masculine or feminine preference, being fluid and allowing others to assume whatever they please. this aspect's name is Calasir, and they are the one furthest from Alek's core, being hot headed and ferocious, but also cold and detached, like an odd mix of Bennuryon and Nephalia, but this aspect takes on the form of a dark phoenix, and has overwhelming instinct for applying judicious use of powerful magics. These aspects have never caused Alekeros problems or a crisis of identity, instead they mesh fluidly and complement one another, allowing him greater physical reach and mental flexibility. Alek's relationship with his fellow Immortal kin can be fraught at times, but he views each of them as family and would never endanger them, and while sometimes he takes advantage of particularly foolish mortals, his deals with his kin are always fair, even at great personal risk. His delving into their people's dark history with Re'tarlu and their shared bonds of secrecy over familial matters has brought them closer, perhaps even becoming his closest brother and most preferred partner to work with. The others he has grown more distant from, apart from a few whom he works on grander projects with, except Andriel... Their leader and the eldest of his kin, Alekeros finds her to be a solid support strut that their entire society would not be able to survive without, but also disagrees silently with her taking control of the Halo and all it's forces.
