[hider=Voligan][center][h1]Voligan[/h1] [b]The Great Bearer of Lands[/b], [b]The Earthheart[/b], [b]The Champion of the Monarch[/b] [b][u]Aspects[/u][/b] Earth The aspect of Earth is broad and essential to the world. It represents strength, stability, resilience, growth and change. Earth can be as strong and resilient as the mountains, resisting whatever the other elements throw at it. It can foster the growth of nations, feeding the plants that empires are built on with the nutrients in its soil. Earth can change with its enivroment, be it becoming grains of sand in the desert or beach, or turning from a raw mineral into a forged tool. It is strong enough to resist and persevere through challenges, but malleable enough to adapt when needed. With the aspect of earth Voligan can create or destroy new land masses. Islands can be pulled from the sea or dragged back into it. Safe harbors from the wrath of the sea can be formed. Before sapient life learns to build their own shelters, Voligan can shape the earth to protect and shelter them from the cruelties of the outside world. After he can manipulate the earth to create natural barriers to protect their settlements from attack and natural disasters. He can nourish the soil that plants are grown upon or he can make them barren of the nutrients needed for the plants to survive. He can fill caves and mines with precious metals or gems, so that whomever has his favour can mine and then forge them. He can weaken or strengthen the metals drawn from the earth, or change them to another earthly element entirely. If angered enough he can cause earthquakes or volcanic eruptions to wipe out whatever has gained his ire. Crafting Crafting is, first and foremost, the aspect of artificial creation. It is the use of special skills to build, forge, or otherwise create objects with one’s own hands. Forging a blade or armor, constructing a building, laying down a road, carving a statue, painting a canvas, creating horseshoes, etc etc. It is not limited to only making objects. The design of the building, the planning of the road, learning the craft, all are things that fall under the aspect of Crafting. For one cannot create without a plan, and one cannot plan without something that needs to be created. It is one of the primary aspects concerned with mortals and civilizations, as without them crafting would have nearly no purpose. With Crafting, Voligan can create Artifacts better than any other god. He can curse mortals to stagnate, unable to innovate or remember their crafts, or bless them with an inspiration that will allow them to prosper and advance faster than their rivals (within reason, you’re not gonna see revolvers during the steel age, or steel during the bronze age). He can shatter or weaken the tools, weapons, or other creations of mortals with a thought, or strengthen them to be more effective than they would normally be. [b][u]Persona[/u][/b] Confident and calm are the two words that describe Voligan the best. He knows that he has the strength to weather the majority of challenges that come his way, and the awareness to adapt to those few challenges he cannot. He loves to both prove his strength and have it challenged, making himself stronger in the effort. He is level-headed and purposeful, always making sure that everything he does is with reason and almost never rushing into anything. It is rare to see him get impassioned and energetic. He is stubborn to a fault and honest to the point of bluntness. He sees no reason for lying to anyone, indeed he can't even contemplate the idea of lying, and will always speak the truth. For better or for worse. As the god of earth, he believes that his power is nigh unmatched and that it his duty to shape the lands that the Monarch of All has created and prepare those that live on them for the challenges of life. Voligan believes it is his duty to teach, train, and strengthen the creatures that live on the world that the Monarch of All has created. They will need to be resilient and strong to survive, and he will guide them to that. All of them. He is not a filter, sifting through the weak to find the strong. He is a guardian and a teacher, making everything stronger and more independent, rather than destroying the weak or making them dependent upon divine intervention. Voligan's goal for preparing the creatures of the world is to teach them to be strong and resilient on their own, but grant them strength from his own blessings when their own strength is not enough despite their best efforts. [b][u]True Form[/u][/b] Voligan's true form is [i]massive[/i]. Standing tens of thousands of feet tall, it is nearly incomprehensible to a mortal mind. It is humanoid, with limbs and hands formed and shaped from the seemingly endless tons of rock, sand, gravel, boulders, and any other conceivable piece of earth that form his body. Hes face remains featureless, however. When he moves, the earth shakes for miles. When he speaks, it is like hearing hundreds of avalanches and rockslides all at once. Mortals that are unfortunate enough to see his true form find their bodies battered by vicious vibrations as he speaks and moves, knocking them to the ground, bursting their eardrums and their organs. To avoid this, Voligan prefers to use a toned down mortal form that changes based upon the earthen environment he is in. Made of sand for the desert, dirt for a plain, rocks for a mountain or cave, so on so forth.
