God of Sorrow

Overview

One of the Six renegade gods that tries to rebuild the world in their image without any influence from the original Two. Brings lightning and pain to the world. Lightning is its physical element and the focal point of its power.

Appearance

The God of Sorrow hovers as a two armed serpent with skin appearing metallic and smelling of certain metals, though is likely some non-metallic metal. Three different shades of orange decorate its body. Its body is long, slim, and gradually tapering from its abdomen to its tail. A handful of large spikes run along its spine, shrinking closer to its tail. Stretched out, its body is a few dozen feet long. Two metallic orange lines run along its body
In stone form, it is no larger than two fists together. Four tall spikes just out from the central axis, connected to a raised yellow structure covering most of the surfaces on both sides of the stone. Metallic orange lines run along the surfaces of the stone. Like its body, Sorrow's stone form has three different shades of orange.

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.
The last to act was the God of Sorrow, who tapped into the effects of the previous five gods to create the power of lightning, a force that saturated the air and constantly discharged in small amounts between various objects. With all if the Six gods pooling their elements to create a unique and dynamic world, they were at last separate from the Two, albeit briefly. 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.
After the great cataclysm that split the world, Sorrow, like God of Speed and God of Strength, consistently chose one human every generation who visited their shrine to give a portion of their power and to train, waiting for the day when these humans would be needed to direct mortal warfare against the allies of the Two.
