missus ellie, spare a crumb of the Deity, 🥺 please 🥺 🙏🙏

absolutely my love!!! <33

The Deity goes by many titles, but her most prominent role is the Overlord of the Holy Lands. She dictates angels, archangels, and other holy monsters who occupy the Holy Lands alongside her, as well as the procession of souls that ascend after death to be welcomed into the holy afterlife.

The ones who know her more personally and intimately call her Jhila, which was the name she bore before she was ascended to godhood, back when she was still a muse--a more humble type of divinity that offers entertainment for the gods and mortals alike. Since she has such humble origins, she was the best choice for the new Overlord of the Holy Lands after Chaos had razed the pantheons and killed her predecessors.

As for her personality, she's quite different to what people expect. Where some would anticipate the ruler over the holiest realm known to the world--the goddess who oversees heaven itself--to be demure and stoic, Jhila isn't that way at all. She's in fact very bubbly and friendly and has a great amount of compassion for everyone, even Chaos, which certainly stunned those in the Holy Lands when they initially met her as their new Overlord.

In truth, she feels quite a bit of guilt over the actions of her predecessors--primarily in their cruelty, and especially of their murder of Eden and eternal imprisonment of Chaos--and seeks to rewrite the future into a more loving, kindly one. And as much damage as many of them have done, she absolutely adores humans. When she was initially ascended to her position as Overlord, many remaining archangels from the ancient times tried to convince her to bar humans completely from entering the heavens, but it's because of her compassionate self that she instead decided to forgive many actions that were once considered sinful, so that more souls would be able to enter the heavens after death if they wished.

Jhila also has a much closer relationship to Lucifer, the new god of the Underworld, than her predecessor did with his. In fact, despite being complete opposites and their realms having been in many clashes over many eons prior, the two of them are very close friends and thoroughly enjoy playing chess and having tea on many occasions.

The roof in the chapel at MC is the closest place for you to engage with Jhila, as the beautiful clouds that gather at the ceiling of the chapel actually lead directly to the Holy Lands themselves! And though she may seem like far too busy of a goddess to bother with the trivial matters of individual mortals, she adores receiving visitors from the mortal plane and actually doesn't get very many--so you can expect that if you ever head up there, she'll be eager to fix you a cup of tea and hear all about your mortal exploits. Don't worry about Archangel Mikael--she can soothe him, or at the very least keep him at bay, so she can hopefully make friends with you. She'll play her lute, sing for you, listen to your woes, offer you comfort...her love is so all-encompassing it'll be difficult not to feel something akin to romance when dealing with the Deity. But lucky for you, once she gets to know you...she'll probably start feeling the same way ♡

How powerful is Julian?

In his deity form, he's practically undefeatable if he has properly fed.

If he's fighting an enemy or if he's attacked in a highly populated area, there's no chance of him burning out anytime soon as he can literally feed off of the people's emotions and mental states.

With how malleable his form is, he could suffocate, drown, maul, and crush someone with ease, supernatural or not. I mean, if he were to shift into a massive breaking wave of water, he could apply a crushing pressure of between 250-6,000 pounds per square foot.

Then his bite force is 3600 psi, the same strength as a Nile or Saltwater Crocodile with double mandibular canines. He also has antlers, so those can definitely gore into someone while he's in the process of mauling them.

And, to top it all off, his roars are deafening because they're different pitches and a complete mash-up of the many people that he's emotionally fed off of. So many screams, roars, cause the ground to shake, and growls can if close enough shatter glass and cause ear drums to burst.

What's even worse is that if he has fed off of your muse, he can easily isolate those vocals and disorient them with their own voice.

That's why it's not a good idea to constantly taunt him or threaten his friends and his loved ones. If someone were do any of these, it will not end well.

As an rper, I truly do follow the rule of if you poke the bear face the consequences because it bothers me to no end when I have to lessen my character or keep him neutral but I'm too nice and I just...bite the bullet to appease others.

Mmmm, FloridaMan being big salty ignore me.

omg im dying to know who the deity is…..

HEHE!!! The Deity is one of a trifecta of new gods, the revered overseer of the Holy Lands--she's the one that the archangels report to directly, and she cares for all the souls that come into the light while also keeping all her holy guardians in check! The second of the trio is Lucifer, who performs similar duties in the Underworld for all the infernal monsters and souls that reside there. Despite them being so different, the two gods are very close and deal with each other on a regular basis to keep things running smoothly between their realms and the mortal plane. After all, nobody wants a repeat of what happened eons ago with the old gods....which is why Chaos, the third of the trifecta and one of the last titans of the godly world, is bound in the deepest reaches of the Underworld in The Pits for the rest of eternity.

Out of all of them, Jhila (The Deity) is definitely the most approachable, she's very kind and probably one of the most forgiving gods you'll ever meet. Especially with you being human, because she so rarely gets to meet them and she'd be so excited to introduce herself! Plus, one of her new doctrines upon being inducted into godhood was to abolish interspecies courting as a sin, so she'd be very pleased to meet the human that's been helping her spread her message of love, albeit unintentionally. Maybe she could even reward you for your obvious devotion to her.....after all, no matter how much archangel Mikael complains about you, even he can't hide the temptation he feels from the one who sees all. Perhaps you're the human that's destined to bring monsters and human society together for good, like a prophecy made real! <33

“Ares…is a moron.”

I honestly don’t think that anyone is more amused by the whole “this douchebag decided to try and fight the child of the sea god on a fucking beach” of it all than Poseidon.

[gotstabbedbyapen]

It's always "Hades isn't bad or cruel, his deeds are just metaphors of the inevitable death" or "Hades kidnapping Persephone represent the premature death".

But when the argument "Zeus has numerous affairs and many children because he represent the fertile rain" is brought up, all nuance is suddenly out of the window and Zeus is just a womanizer who can't keep it in his pants.

Behold picrew Deity Xyrhem! Pretty close, but he has sacred scarification sigils that glow gold on his skin.

He's also 8 ft tall
