Gods, Men and Everything in Between

HUM, Handler of Souls, God of Life and Death

Hum had been so mischievously attempting to incite his sister Illias' emotions, but this incitation failed to hit its mark apparently. Illias' request had begun to soften his hold over Life, especially considering her push for Hum to hold Death's sway. He stayed silent a moment, feeling a momentous occasion coming as he listened to Amelia, and just as he was about to speak, Hum disappeared from Edenia.

It was in that moment that Hum suddenly felt anxious, nervous even, in the face of the First Father, whom he had never directly felt the presence of before. At least not seeming to look directly at the shadow God's face. He felt as if he were but a pebble of sand on a beach in comparison to the entire ocean. Was the First Father angry with Hum's antics? Annihilation, it seemed, was in Hum's future at that moment.

Yet the First Father seemed to eventually regard Hum with acceptance, closing the shadow God's hands over the dual orbs of Life and Death. It was at that moment that Hum felt an upwelling of something he couldn't quite name, and thus was transformed into HUM, Handler of Souls, God of Life and Death.

A moment later, HUM was standing once more in what seemed to be Edenia. Confusion overcame him before he made the connection between his sister's request and his father's words, and an impulse flooded his senses. Taking up a meditative, floating posture, HUM looked upon what was distinctly his Realm, and smiled, uttering a simple name, Sanctuary.

And there he remained, meditating, considering the next course of action.

The God of Life could've been directly entropied either way. And it would seem there was no way for Hum to stop the consolidate process if I know Theo.

Illias possibly lacked enough power to take it depending on how much she had remaining after her actions. I'm interested to see how Necro handles this turn of events.

If Hum were to leave the Realm of the Dead, do some stuff on the Natural World, then return by the end of the turn, that does not count as remaining in the Realm of the Dead, does it?

Theoretically could we even give a Domain away?

Hum

Hum shrugged his shadowy shoulders, "None said I am 'eagerly' trying to make you angry. You are fully capable of doing that yourself." The shadowy God motioned towards Duhyxbin, "Practically attacked our brother was, for trying to bring us all together to discuss who gets what. Were it not for him, I would not be here to discuss your claim to Life. Yet the one who wishes to rule over Life sure does have quite the temper. Perhaps..." Hum raised the orb of Life to his lips, whispering just loudly enough for them to hear, "Life deserves one of sturdier character..." A ghoulish grin spread across his face.

Big Daddy come from the sky, lay the smack down, down.

Hum

Hum chuckled, this meeting was not going particularly well, "As far as I can tell, no Domain currently belongs to any God. I see little point in simply relinquishing Life to Illias. Indeed, I have already spent a great deal of my Power on grasping this precious orb." The dark spirit held up the rapidly solidifying ball of light that was beginning to pulse as if it had its own heart beat, "I certainly wonder what concessions could be made in exchange... Hmmm..." Hum liked that his name was much like the sound of humming itself, his own name a bit of a joke in and of itself.

Hum isn't doing anything besides trying to consolidate power for this turn.
