One of the seven African powers and the adopted son of Yemoja, Shango was the most powerful and mighty of their pantheon. Because nothing is more fearsome and great than lightning. With Shango's [url=https://i.imgur.com/GRoYRQO.jpg] ax [/url] at his side, he protected his followers with mighty bolts of lightning that punished the wicked. To Yemoja's protector of women, Shango was more of a mentor to men. His mission was to uphold the ideals of men and masculinity - strength, virtue, honor, justice, and loyalty - and make sure that they make Africa glorious. Though, Shango was known as a party boy; a womanizer that loved to eat as much food was set in front of him.[/quote][/indent][/indent] [center][color=firebrick][u] 𝗛𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬 [/u][/color][/center] [indent][indent][quote]It was actually believed that Shango [i]died[/i] right before the Colossus was built. His mighty palace in the center of Yoruba crashed with a mighty bolt of lightning and Shango disappeared. However, he survived by ascending to heaven, and then he returned once the seal on the Yoruban pantheon went up. Ever since the Colossus went up, Shango's been... around. He isn't exactly fond of the whole working a nine to five type deal to make a living, he's a king! If he doesn't have it all handed to him... then, well, he'll be fine with nothing. He usually hangs around the Gods, usually appearing at complete random on sidewalks in Seattle, playing the drums. He didn't originally do it for money but since so many mortals are so willing to throw their money away he might as well give it to Charity, the people who need it. Shango's been mostly couch surfing and womanizing his way from place to place. Hoping for the day the Gods return to power.[/quote][/indent][/indent][/hider]
