Thōsh

God of Nature

(a.k.a. Smilades)

A giant among even the gods (only Koďö is bigger), Thōsh, the god of Nature, is kind, generous, and protective of his charge (all of the natural world).
While he is the god of Nature and aims to protect it, he believes nature is a resource to be used wisely. If you hunt, do so to feed and cloth yourself. If you burn wood, do so to keep warm and to cook—and always be sure to keep your fire contained.
In addition the Nature domain, Thōsh has a number of fertility cults dedicated to him. He actively encourages them (even though this is more the domain of Ŗažu). It is well known that he actively participants in their rituals from time to time.

What is less known is that he has had hundreds or thousands of mortal children, all concieved during fertility rituals. While he does not actively participant in their lives (usually), he does watch them and help them along on occasion.

Thōsh is often represented by the peacock.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Very healthy. He has a very muscular physique. Thōsh is possibly the physically strongest of the gods (although they've not tested the theory). It is said he once pulled three elephants from a raging river with one hand.

Special abilities

• Can cause any live plant to grow from any surface. The plant can go from seed to fully grown (and beyond) in a matter of minutes, if desired. The plant will be healthy and able to continue growing from the surface, even if it normally could not.
• Can mentally summon many creatures at any time. All creatures of any specific type (or any desired number less) or half of all creatures of any type within a five kilometer radius will come to Thōsh as quickly as they can. Thōsh can completely control the number, types, and mix of creatures.
• Can create any non-sentient creature at will. Can create up to 20 creatures in less than five minutes. The creature does not have to have previously existed.
• Can manipulate plants to move in ways and at speeds they normally could not. Trees can lean towards each other, vines rapidly weave a net, and more. Even actions that should not be physically possible can be done.
• All natural creatures will obey his commands and continue to do so even when separated from Thōsh's presence.

Apparel & Accessories

Wears furs and animal skins.

Mental characteristics

Accomplishments & Achievements

Thōsh is probably most proud of his creation of the Mother of Forests. The unique tree is such a complex creation that even Thōsh does not know everything it can do.

Social

Social Aptitude

Despite his size, Thōsh is generally quiet and unassuming. However, he has great chrisma and charm that he can use to motivate others. Most sentient beings trust him implicitly, unless they knowingly harm nature, in which case he can be very frightening.
Thōsh rarely meets a person he isn't friendly with. Even if a person has intentionally harmed nature in some way, they will still be invited to join Thōsh for a meal. Of course, during the course of said meal he will attempt to convince them to admit to their damage. If they do so and honestly appologize, they may get away with a stern warning. If they don't…they may not live to see a new day.

Speech

Thōsh usually speaks with slow and intentional phrases, often in a rural dialect of whatever language the listener knows best. He has a deep, sonorous voice.

History

Nép and Thōsh have long been friends. This is in large part because Nép enjoys spending time in the jungles and forests of Thōsh's domain. She likes the feel of growing things around her as a contrast to the cold stone of her domain. However, the two also cooperate, as the soil in the forests and jungles is formed of the earth and the decomposed components of nature.

History

Geren and Thōsh are like peas in a pod. Geren does everything he can to protect nature and keep it working "as designed." Thōsh made that design and so is happy to have a representative who is so aligned with his desires. That said, Geren is just another human, albeit one with greater than normal powers. So while he respects his Scion, Thōsh really isn't too concerned with him on a daily basis.
