Shözö Character in Binaka | World Anvil

Shözö

God of Chaos, Passion, and Love

Shözö is the god of passion in all things, chaos, and (reluctantly) love. His personal passion for beautiful (especially otherwise entangled) people comes first, then his embrace of the chaos that often ensues, and finally his realization that love can lead to passion. But for Shözö personally, love is ever fleeting and may never fully flourish.

Shözö greatly admires Blodä's calmness in all circumstances. He is unable to keep himself calm but strives for the perfection he sees in his mother. Blodä is often disappointed by Shözö's shifting emotions.

History

When Girt and Shözö first met, it was a case of bros at first sight. While Girt was perhaps a bit intimidated (Shözö is a god, after all) the two became fast friends. Girt really is a reflection of Shözö and his purpose.

Author's Notes

I have been asked why is the god of chaos also the god of love, as well as, why are they opposed to the god of wisdom and learning? The answer to the second question is easiest. One who is in love often does not do the wise thing while one who wishes to learn generally needs organization to learn more, rather than chaos.   How are chaos and love related? Love can easily push a person's life into chaos. You may have to embrace chaos in order to follow through with love. Love knows no boundaries, so it often seeds chaos in society as one who is in love can cross societal boundaries. Thus, the god of love is also the god of chaos.
