Evelyn, Goddess of Light (EHH-vuh-lihnn)

Lady Evelyn , Goddess of Light

"You must never doubt your righteousness, child. Show no sympathy or empathy for the creatures of darkness. They exist to be destroyed. Their very presence is a plague, their every action a sin. Believe in me when I say that we are on the side of good. Anyone who disagrees is likely an agent of darkness, or one of their cohorts. To mortals, show kindness. To the beasts — bring only death."   —Evelyn, Goddess of Light, speaking to Lania Belle Wohlnächst
  Evelyn is the Goddess of Light, and one of the major deities of the universe.

Special abilities

  • Light Generation and Manipulation: Evelyn's skill as a photomancer is unmatched. She can control, bend and generate light in any way that she chooses. This includes, but is not necessarily limited to:
    • Absolute Light: Evelyn can light up and destroy any darkness, creating light that is so powerful it can actually dull and negate the other senses, such as hearing or smell. The light is so intense that it can potentially destroy almost everything and anything in its path.
    • Blindness Immunity
    • Blindness Inducement (temporarily and permanently)
    • Burning and Melting: Evelyn's light is so intense that it can set things ablaze or melt them entirely.
    • Clarity Manipulation: By controlling light, Evelyn can quite literally cause objects to become "unfocused" or less clear, or render them transparent.
    • Color Manipulation: Evelyn can alter the color of anything she desires, simply by widening or shortening the bands of light affecting the object.
    • Invisibility: For the sense of sight only, Evelyn can turn herself, anything, or anyone entirely undetectable. There is no "distortion" of space around the cloaked subject as there is with other forms of invisibility; for all intents and purposes, they are completely invisible and leave no trace behind.
    • Light Absorption/Photokinetic Immunity: Evelyn can absorb the light in any given location, rendering anyone in that location effectively blind; in the same vein, she is immune to light-based attacks, simply rendering them null.
    • Light Aura
    • Light Contact/Light Solidification: In defiance of the laws of physics, Evelyn can "touch" light (as in, ambient light not viewed via a medium, such as a screen) and mold it into shapes, weapons, or creatures.
      • Photokinetic Constructs/Creature Creation/Weaponry
    • Light Form: Evelyn can transform entirely into light.
    • Light Healing: Evelyn can heal any injury using light.
    • Light Mimicry
    • Light Portal Creation: Evelyn can create portals using light.
    • Light Speed: Evelyn possesses the ability to move, perceive, and attack at the speed of light.
    • Light Transmutation: Evelyn can transform matter into light, and vice versa.
    • Photokinesis Bestowal: Evelyn possesses the ability to give other people and creatures photomantic abilities themselves.
    • Photokinetic Combat: Evelyn can fuse light energy into her physical combat.
    • Photokinetic Regeneration
    • Photokinetic Teleportation
    • Rainbow Manipulation
  • Godly Condition: As a goddess, Evelyn possesses the following natural boosts, without using any abilities:
    • Divine Form: Like all of the gods, Evelyn can gather all of her essence in one place, and shift into her true form. This form is unknown by anyone other than the gods, as well as immortal races such as angels and devils; upon seeing it, an individual would disintegrate into nothing but ash.
    • Godly Detection/Perception: Evelyn can sense both life force and magic, regardless of cloaking, illusion, or any other means that would render the user invisible or untraceable. The only individual she and the other gods cannot detect is Eris.
    • Godly Magic: The only one more powerful than Evelyn in terms of magical power and ability is Eris.
    • Godly Reflexes: Evelyn's reflexes are impossible to outpace. Only Eris is faster.
    • Godly Regeneration: Evelyn's natural regeneration of injuries and wounds is much faster than that of any race, allowing her to heal even near-mortal wounds within seconds.
    • Godly Senses: Evelyn's senses are among the best in the universe. This includes better sight, better sense of hearing, taste, smell, and touch.
    • Godly Speed: Evelyn's speed is impossible to match. Only Eris is faster than her.
    • Godly Stamina: Evelyn's stamina is nearly unlimited. Only Eris can outlast her.
    • Godly Strength: There is nearly no upper limit to the feats of strength Evelyn can perform. Only Eris is stronger.
    • Ichor Properties: Rather than blood, Evelyn posesses ichor, a golden fluid and the blood of the gods.
    • Immortality: While Evelyn can be wounded, she can never truly die, and will resurrect even if her body is utterly destroyed.
    • Multipresence: Evelyn has the ability to be in multiple places at once, doing many different tasks at the same time.
    • Omnilingualism: As a goddess, Evelyn can inherently speak and comprehend all languages, even code languages.
    • Teleportation, Type VI: Evelyn can teleport almost anywhere, covering lightyear distances on a cosmic scale. She can take mass up to the size of a skyscraper with her when teleporting.

Apparel & Accessories

Evelyn wears a long, white dress/tunic with no sleeves or collar, as well as leather sandals that wrap around her legs.

Specialized Equipment

Evelyn's staff is with her at all times, a golden staff with angel wings protruding from either side of the shaft at the head. Situated between the wings is a round, blue orb, likely a gemstone of some kind.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Evelyn was one of the first gods created by Eris back before there was anything at all. When asked to help Eris create the universe, she and her brother, Erebos, stepped forward first, to create the first life in the universe: angels, and devils.   Angels were made to be the personification of all that was pure and incorruptible, and devils were made to be earthly creatures of desire. These two races were meant to balance each other out, creating harmony, but unfortunately, it was not to be. Angels found devils to be repugnant, primarily due to their desires and the way they sustained themselves; namely sexual and emotional energy. Devils, in turn, found the angels to be haughty and self-righteous, thinking it impossible to meet their moral standards. The two races could not agree on who was in the right, and arguments and debates turned into open fighting as they began to insult one another.   Evelyn and Erebos descended into the world below to try and mitigate the fighting, but instead found themselves soon fighting with each other directly. Like their creations, they could not agree on which race was correct, allowing the conflict to grow and fester. Finally, they declared all-out war on each other, beginning the War of Light and Dark. Each god took the side of their own children, and many lives were lost in the opening days. Stalemate wasn't far away, it seemed, until Evelyn and Erebos created seven champions for their individual sides. Evelyn created the Seven Virtues, naming them Charity, Chastity, Diligence, Humility, Kindness, Patience, and Temperance. Erebos created the Seven Sins, naming them Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Pride, Sloth, and Wrath. These champions were meant to be far more powerful than any angel or devil that had come before, their battles splitting the skies and shaking the earth. The other gods watched on in horror at how quickly the war had spun out of control, but at the same time, felt any intervention on their part would only worsen the conflict. Therefore, they observed and did nothing.   Finally, Eris himself descended to the mortal world and brought a swift and merciless end to the war. All fourteen champions perished in his assault, much to the grief of Evelyn and Erebos. Once the dust had settled, Eris demanded that angels and devils be banished from the mortal realm, to prevent such a war from ever occurring again. Evelyn, in disgust, kept her angels close to her and created Heaven, a realm of pure goodness and light. Her hope was that this sanctuary would protect her children from the evils and temptations the devils had. Likewise, Erebos created Hell, a realm of earthly desire and freedom, hoping it would spare his devils from the judgement and sanctimonious nature of the angels.   As the war finished, Evelyn and Erebos were presented with a problem - their children were sterile and could not reproduce, meaning that in due time, both species would eventually go extinct. Eris suggested merely giving them this reproductive ability, but to Evelyn and Erebos, this meant admitting defeat to each other. Instead, each species was given pre-evolutionary forms. All existing angels were reverted to cherubs, their new goal to evolve via light energy. Conversely, devils were given a longer evolutionary chain, consisting first of imps, then arch-imps, followed by lilim/luciem, and finally, the true devil form.   Once that was done, Evelyn and Erebos begrudgingly removed themselves from further creation, allowing the other gods to step forward. Once all the other races were created and the gods were ready to depart the mortal world, they, along with the other gods, called for Eris to join them in their departure. However, he refused, causing the other gods, including Evelyn and Erebos, to become anxious. They tried explaining to Eris that leaving the mortal world, so that it could change and grow of its own accord, was the best course of action, but Eris desired to stay and meddle with the world as he saw fit. Having no other choice, Evelyn and Erebos, along with the rest of the gods, took up arms against the God of Magic, in an attempt to make him see reason.   The War of the Gods is colloquially referred to as the "Ten-Minute War", due to the swiftness and ferocity with which the other gods were beaten by Eris. He was almost entirely convinced on erasing the universe and starting over, including destroying the other gods, but Evelyn and a few others begged him to reconsider, reminding him that they were his family, and they loved and only wanted the best for both him and the world he had asked them to create. Emotionally drained from both the Light-Dark war and the Ten-Minute War, Eris acquiesced.   A treaty was formed between the other gods and Eris, stating that while he could remain in the mortal world to observe, he was not to interfere except in the most dire of circumstances. With that, Evelyn, along with her brothers and sisters, and her angels, departed the mortal world, mostly for good. Until several thousand years later, nothing major would occur.   Many millennia later, Evelyn discovered a new problem; a devil by the name of Lunette Natalie Ayers. Since the day she was born and could comprehend the consequences of the Light-Dark war, Lunette wanted nothing more than the total annihilation of Evelyn, Heaven, and her angels. Evelyn watched and suffered for many years as her children were brutally slaughtered and mutilated in front of her by this devil with a grudge, and although she brought every fallen angel back to life, the pain never became easier to bear. Finally, Evelyn had had enough. After a particularly notable angel battalion had been ruthlessly decimated by Lunette, Evelyn broke her pact with the God of Magic, descending to the mortal world once again. There, she met Lunette, and showed her that all her efforts had been in vain, for Evelyn had resurrected every angel Lunette had ever felled. This broke Lunette's spirit, and Evelyn sensed the change. She advised Lunette that unless she wanted to die, she should remain in Hell and rot for her sins. With that, Evelyn returned to Heaven, showing Lunette her true, unfiltered form as she teleported away, killing Lunette instantly.   Since that day, Evelyn has remained mostly in Heaven, leaving the conflict to her children once more. And although there is currently a new threat, it is nowhere near the scale of Lunette's slaughter, leading Evelyn to judge that she need not intervene again.
