Facit

Written by Desyov

God of Action, Spontaneity, and Force

Pronunciation - /FA-sit/
When the gods made Shiwa, they created a balancing force that was Facit. Facit was told upon creation that the only way life could exist in the perfect shell that was Argent, was for him to exist at the center, permanently exuding a force strong enough to keep the people of the world stood on the ground. Controlled enough to not crush them, but strong enough that they don't float away.
Normal mortals could not survive the sight of a being with such power, acting with such ambition. Divine energy on it's own is regularly enough to overwhelm and kill a mortal within minutes, and Facit exuded nearly as much as one of the prime. All of this considered, he was hidden behind a wall of ice, water, and wind by Oum that would be come to be known as The Source.
He was held there for many years. Millennia, even. As time went on, Facit grew impatient. Shiwa knew that humanity must have their force keeping them to the ground, or their winds, their waves, their world would crumble. Despite all of this, Facit was bored. Facit wanted to do things, not wait eternally slowly divvying out his power so mortals without strength of their own could use him as a crutch for their existence.
So, one day, he lashed out. In a frustrated impulsive fit of divine energy, Facit extended his arms outwards and shattered the orb of force holding his protective shield of water and wind to him. The nearly endless quantity of condensed liquid poured out, filling the lands below, destroying all progress yet made by mortal races. The developed civilizations of both Elven and Dragonkind were both lost to the waves, forced underwater by his outburst.
His action was responded to with a swift reaction from the divine. Icae knew immediately what they needed to do. They casted a spell, with such energy that not even a god could deny it. Few know the exact details of the spell, but what the world does know is that it managed to imprison Facit, keeping him trapped within the Source to this very day.
Though the falling tsunami eventually came to an end, to this day Oum has yet to repair the barrier he had kept Facit within because of his constant resistance. The Pillars exist because of this. Many various faiths have formed in the name of these pillars, or the ocean in the sky. These are some of Facit's few followers, seeing as his holy realm also serves as a prison. His divine servants have spread his word in small ways though, so he isn't entirely without faithful. Some do follow him directly, though it's few and far between.
Dragonkind, specifically those of the Eminent Territories have it out for Facit ever since the great historic floods. They see him as a destroyer and a villain, treating him more like a demon than a god. His faith is outlawed outright within the territories, and frowned upon heavily by other draconic societies throughout the world.

Divine Domains

Clerics of Facit have access to the Kinetic, Sky, and Tempest domains when choosing their path.

Divine Symbols & Sigils

With how few groups have faith in Facit, his holy symbol is different depending on who you ask. Though, it almost always has something to do with The Source. A blue orb surrounded in ripples, representing the water orb in the center of everything and it’s surrounding gale, or a giant wave coming from the sky above. In the end, Facit, his faithful, and his iconography revolves around the water.

Physical Description

Identifying Characteristics

Facit thinks, moves, and talks faster than any other. He lives in a state much faster than everyone elses. One second to a normal person feels like an entire minute to him, and the way he looks reflects that. Facit is a constant vibrating blur. Nobody, not even other divine know the exact details of what he looks like. When Oum created the gods he allowed them to take forms that felt comfortable, and because of this, Facit's visuals remain a mystery.

Special abilities

• Facit has an unlimited control of kinetic force. Though he's been described as tired of his work within the source, that is told to just be his patience growing thin. His power is unmatched, and his reaction time and speed are so incredible that he's defeated both Nae and Vaz in a single instant, two on one.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Facit has existed only to wonder, and wait. Since his creation he has wanted nothing more than to do. Everything; good or bad. As an immature divine being he finds himself consumed by his godly traits. It's hard for him to exist in that state without destroying the things around him. His instincts are impossible to resist, and so he finds himself doing things even if he doesn't want to. Few know how he feels since he's rarely spoken to, but it's incredibly likely that he hates the results of his actions.

Morality & Philosophy

Because of his great distance, and his difficulties communicating with mortals, Facit's messages don't often get through. They also find these messages widely different depending on where you are. One consistent theme though finds itself in every one of his faiths, whether they are based on himself, or the waters which many believe represent him.

• Do what you want, and don't let anyone stop you. The world will always try to slow you down, put you in a cage, or crush your motivations. Fight back. Crush it's drive to crush yours. Don't let the world step on you, and don't let them deny your action.
