The Lover
Whereas most of the Gods have taken genderless forms, the Lover's 20 meter tall body was genderfluid: both voluptuous and handsome, with olive skin and a sleek mane of dark hair. The Lover and the god known as the The Sailor have been romantic partners since long before the Age of Destruction.

The Church Of The Blissful Heart is the religious organization devoted to worship of the Lover. They wear elegantly styled robes in various shades of red and purple. All members receive a set of ear piercings when they are accepted into the church. If a member attains a new rank within the church, they are given an additional set of piercings. Initiates, called " Fervors," are given earrings in the shape of a rose, that goes into the ear lobe. When they reach the priesthood they are called "Ardors," and are given a piercing mid-way up the ear. The earrings are a larger rose, the stem of which goes through the original piercing. The highest rank is that of "Rapture." The third hole is pierced at the top of the ear. This earring is again designed like a rose, with an extended thorn going through the second hole, and the stem once again going through the original hole. Paladins of the Chruch of the Blissful Heart are called "Passions," and often wear a small, red cape fashioned at one shoulder, called a paludamentum. The typical blessing given by followers of the Lover is very simple but extremely powerful. "Love."Temples
