God of Strength

Overview

One of the Six renegade gods that tries to rebuild the world in their image without any influence from the original Two. Brings stone and support to the world. Earth is its physical element and the focal point of its powers.

Appearance

The God of Strength is a moderately tall quadruped with skin appearing as a uniform yellow stone, though is likely some other natural material. Three different shades of yellow color its body. Large spikes protrude from the top and bottom of the god's body, with a single giant spike over the top of its abdomen. Smaller narrow dome-like structures jut out from its sides. It stands shorter than the other standing gods, though from head to tail is it a few dozen feet long. Two yellow-gold lines curve around its entire body.

In stone form, it is no larger than two fists together. The body of the stone juts out in five places on the central axis. Yellow-gold lines run along the main surface of the stone. Like its body, Strength's stone form has three shades of yellow.

Plots, Pawns, and Goals

Created with more intelligence and a form closer to the Two than anything that had ever existed previously, the Six seek to break the normal cycle of creation and destruction so that they can live on, separate from what had existed before. Together they pooled their powers to crate the beginnings of what would become the world, for by creating something outside the scope of the Two, they and their creation would no longer be bound by the eternal cycle.

The first to act of the Six, Strength created a strong foundation for the other gods to introduce their elements on by creating a colossal body of stone and earth. Strength's creation was the very first in existence that did not fall into the eternal cycle of creation and destruction powered by the Two. The others of the Six followed with their elements to further build and shape this revolutionary world. However, their efforts to remain totally separate from the Two were foiled when both Maker and Destroyer tainted the world with their elements, which removed full control of this new world from the Six. After the great cataclysm that split the world, Strength, like Speed and Sorrow, consistently chose one human every generation who visited their shrine to give a portion of their power and to train, waiting for the day when these humans would be needed to direct mortal warfare against the allies of the Two.
