Mental characteristics

Personal history

Odeus exploded into consciousness long before time, and long before there was anything but The Chaos. He spun in the mayhem, till there was the first thought: Create. And so in order to create, Odeus thought himself a body, then hands with which to build. But he saw that in the maelstrom of chaos nothing could last long. So he grabbed hold of The Chaos, and wrestled them into the elemental planes where they stay bound. Exhausted from this ordeal Odeus slept for seven days. While Odeus slumbered, Telera was born from the elements. She laid with him as he dreamt, but first she made Aeris itself. While Odeus dreamt, the other Gods were born both from his good dreams and also nightmares. When he woke however he and the other Gods got to creating together. Odeus created the Dragons, they ruled over Aeris in the time before time. Odeus and Telera together made the Elves, folk of great beauty and wisdom. He also made the humans. They were simple, and brief, but they were hopeful, and perseverant. There on Aeris the Gods watched their creations develop. This period is mostly unknown, no one knows how long the time before time lasted, but it ended in fire and war. The Clash of the Gods, Odeus' nightmares made divine. They rose and corrupted creation, the High Gods fought back however, in a cataclysmic battle that would shape the very world itself. It ended when the God of creation and the God of nothingness collided in battle. The Gods were propelled into the various planes, and left the folk of Aeris to their own devices.

Morality & Philosophy

Odeus, unlike some of his children does not believe the Low Gods to be fully "evil". He recognizes their place in the cosmos. He simply wishes for them to put aside their want for dominance, and destruction on grand scales. He sees all the Gods as a father sees his children. Shl'ier is different however.
