Psychopomp may be the word we are looking for.

Fubsy also had a Goddess.
She can't hear well, she's Death Goddess.

I'm thinking of a Desert theme for X's library.

@Fubsy

Well to destroy the book is nothing. The book is merely the record.
The knowledge itself transcends the book. As such X would challenge Muorival to find the book first.
Because the book isn't the important thing, the knowledge is.
And you'd need a tool to erase knowledge itself...

Of which X's planned artifact just does that. It grants knowledge and removes knowledge. It holds the universal knowledge of every sentient being that was, is and will be except X to which releasing the secrets would allow everything in existence to know something. But to strike something out from the very same book would be to make everyone seem to magically 'forget' something.

There are no consequences.
Getting there is enough proof that you are worthy of entering, for few know the secret way to enter.
The library has no guards, but there is also method of cataloging or searching for something.
Therefore the sheer amount of knowledge actually obscures knowledge.
You'd be looking for one line of text in a sea of words, found within a volume of pages kept within tome that is surrounded by thousands upon thousands upon thousands of them.
If you can find what you are looking for, then just like finding the Plane in itself, you are worthy of knowing what you wanted.

The only book that would be forbidden to read from would be his artifact. Something he uses to bestow concepts and knowledge, as well as record the secrets of the universe.

I envision a mortal seeking out his library to find the secrets of becoming an immortal.
At which X may probably smile and warn Muorival a mortal wishes to escape her grasp.

This early in creation?
I mean there's not much we can do expect throw sticks/wave wands at each other.

X will bestow the gift of writing.
His Servitors shall build him a really big library to keep all the knowledge of the planes.
Getting to his library is hard since his plane be the plane between the planes.
Like if other deities begin creating planes, akin to pages of a book, his would be at the nexus the spine from which all planes touch somehow, but the space between is nearly impossible to pass unless you were somehow able to modify the thickness of each page such that between the writing on one and the writing on the other there is a gap large enough to write upon.

Although X is probably going to be a rather bipolar God who sometimes may assist Xeaniax in progressing society, or hinder it.
I'll probably play him as a composite of Boccob + Ioun + Vecna.

Perhaps a Death Goddess with a very high libido.

Unfortunately anyone she consummates with tends to die.
Hence the promise the best time of your life ;3

Although if Accepted. X will probably do the following:

1) Create Plane. - Home is where you hang your enemy's head.
2) Create Artifact. - A god of secrets needs a book of secrets/personal diary.
3) Create Fabled life. - A god needs servitors.
4) Use Artifact for Free Basic Concept creation for Fabled life
5) Use Fabled life Free action to Alter Lands in Plane.

which should cost me about 15 of my 16 points.

If you're not playing some sort of Ghost God... I'm going to be Upset.

Lords of Creation: Children of the Flash

My Proposed God :)

Name: X (pronounced “ecks”) The Voice of the Silent, The Lord of Whispers.
True Name: Apocrypha
Player Name: The Grey Dust
Domains (Portfolios): Knowledge ( Secrets ), Fate ( Mystery )
Alignment: LN

Symbols: A circle with an X, representing something not only disallowed once, but twice over as something truly forbidden. It is also a reference to his namesake.

Symbol of Secrets

Appearance:

To Mortals and Gods:

Appearing to both Mortals and Gods in the same form, X does not differ his appearance to either party. There is nothing to hide from Mortals in his appearance, as it reveals scarcely anything. It is easy to discern X is a God by the otherworldly manifestation, and yet knowing X is a God is meaningless in itself for no one but X knows anything more. A flowing robe conceals his physical manifestation, dissolving the God to little more than a pair of long slender hands emerging from the sleeves and a partial face beyond the veil of eternal mystery. There is no face beyond the lower half of his visage, and in truth nothing beneath the robes.

Personality: A mystic god who challenges the very idea of Omniscience. While it is possible to consider that X is a "fallen" god of knowledge, that is rather than sharing knowledge is the forces which obscures them, there are things which even the Gods themselves cannot answer perhaps of their own creation or the world before anything. It is the spirit of mystery and obscurity itself which awakened to manifest as X in moments after the Flash, for it existed long before the moment and the question was asked.

Being the essence of such, X is cryptic and indirect, and yet welcoming to those who seek him. A paradoxical combination which makes it difficult to understand X's motives and agenda, as befits a god of secrets. While it can be assumed since he is the progenitor of obscurities, would it be safe to say he is Omniscience incarnate, choosing to selectively censor and edit information as needed? In truth even X does not know and seeks to know, for the duality of his role is to also encourage others to seek the hidden truth even as he may conceal it. Which explains the nature of his paradox.

X is both a blessing and a curse, a curse for those who would fight against him to reveal who is plotting against them, but also a blessing to those who would seek to conceal a secret plot. Yet X is often receptive to bargains, for one block lifts the other, and perhaps a secret that is shared will create another in return. Thus the web of secrecy grows, and his Portfolio shall continue to expand. Much to his appeasement.

Dogma: If there was a Dogma for X, only X knows it and he has yet to share it. Some interpret his mantra to be to guard secrets, and protect the sanctity of the arcane. Others suggest the opposite, that is, to seek out truths and uncover secrets to revel in knowing the esoteric. As such the teachings of X are to be taken in either fashion, depending on the school of thought, as perhaps in truth X may encourage the constant struggle between two opposing ideas as a means to stabilize the flow of secrets and knowledge.

Whoa there.

I absolutely meant no hostilities or attitude, I'm sorry if any were perceived.
I did apologize to Rivaan on the chat earlier.

I'm sorry Rivaan for wasting your time by not tagging you.

I'm sorry Sigil for the attitude, the :P was just meant as to me being silly. I meant no offence honest, if anything it's more meant to signify my own admission to my own mistake and stupidity for not tagging Rivaan.

Again, sorry.

Absolutely, you are free to post. @The Grey Dust should have tagged you fifteen hours ago after he made his.

@Sigil

Apologies, I was waiting to see if I needed to get a check resolved or not :P
