God of Joy

Overview

One of the Six renegade gods that tries to rebuild the world in their image without any influence from the original Two, though unlike the all of the other gods, Joy's actions are largely passive and non-combative. Brings light and happiness to the world. Light is its physical element and the focal point of its powers

Appearance

The God of Joy is a stout biped with a faintly luminous green skin appearing as no known material. Three different shades of green illuminate on its body. It has two legs and no other limbs, standing with its body leaning forwards and balanced by a massive tail. Crescent shaped protrusions and blunt spikes cover its body and a single large spike juts out from the middle of its back. It stands a few dozen feet tall. Two metallic green lines weave tightly along its entire body. In stone form, it is no larger than two fists together. Two massive spikes sit along the central axis of the stone, connecting to a raised light green structure covering a large portion of the stone's sides. Metallic green lines run along the surfaces of the stone. Like its body, Joy's stone form has three shades of green.

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.

Joy was the third to act, bathing the world of stone and heat created by the first two gods to act with light that waxed and waned, setting into motion the cycle of day and night. By now the world was beginning to become a living entity far unlike anything created before. 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.

Of the eight gods, only the God of Joy has not searched for a human pawn to control, nor has it ever granted a portion of its powers to any human. Though it wishes to separate from the original cycle, Joy acts with the hope that the two cycles might exist, and that the current world should be left apart from the influences of the gods if possible. Its efforts have possibly aided the creation of the Innen bond, tying together the renewing forces of the Gendirlo and the destructive forces of the human species.
