Tarhun (TAR-hoon)

Tarhun Elsod (a.k.a. Tar)

Call me me Tar. Not a figure etched in stone or whispered in the wind, but a man of flesh and blood, with a keen eye for the horizon and a heart attuned to the tales of old. An Aquarius by the stars, my life's charted by curiosity for the world and a steadfast commitment to the betterment of humanity.
My days are a blend of navigating the vast seas of knowledge contained within Hittite history and honing my body and mind through the art of martial disciplines. Think of me as a captain of old, steering through uncharted waters, guided by the stars of ancient wisdom and the discipline of the disciplined warrior.
In the company I keep, I look for depth—the kind that's found in the quiet after a storm, when the air's charged with the promise of new beginnings. I value respect, shared ventures into the unknown, and the kind of trust that's as rare and precious as a calm sea under a cloudless sky.
Though I might stand with the bearing of a man who's weathered many gales, it's not dominance I seek but justice—a fair wind for all souls, regardless of their berth. My journey's not one of solitary conquest but a shared voyage toward enlightenment and communal strength.
The horse, for me, isn't a symbol of untamed power but a reminder of the freedom found in the relentless pursuit of knowledge and the courage to face life's tempests head-on.
So, if you're drawn to the thrill of discovery, to the fellowship found in facing the squalls of life together, and to the quest for a world where every soul can navigate by their own stars, then come aboard. Let's set sail toward a future forged from the lessons of the past, with the steady hand of wisdom at the tiller and the compass of our shared humanity guiding us through the storms.

Special abilities

• Atmospheric Manipulation: Tarhun can manipulate the atmosphere, influencing weather patterns and air currents. He uses this power to avert natural disasters or to bring favorable weather, always in a way that seems natural.

Inherent Divine Abilities

• Immortality: The gods are ageless and cannot die by conventional means. To maintain secrecy, they often live in hidden or shifting locations, or periodically assume new identities to avoid arousing suspicion over their unchanging appearance.
• Shapeshifting: Gods can change their form at will, allowing them to blend into different societies or environments. This power is used discreetly to avoid drawing attention, such as adopting the guise of different people over the ages or turning into animals in inconspicuous situations.
• Superhuman Strength: This power is used with caution, as overt displays can reveal their divine nature. When necessary, gods might disguise their strength as remarkable human feats, still within the realm of human possibility, or use their strength in situations where they are not observed.
• Self-Healing Powers: Gods can heal themselves from injuries instantly, but they do so in private to avoid revealing their divine nature. In situations where they are hurt in the presence of mortals, they might retreat to a hidden location to heal.
• Flight: When gods fly, they become invisible to ensure they are not seen by mortals. This power is often used for quick, undetected travel or to reach places inaccessible by other means.
• Dreams: Communication between gods is conducted through dreams to avoid physical meetings that could be witnessed. This method allows them to exchange information and make decisions without leaving any tangible evidence of their interaction.
• Divine Inspiration: Gods inspire mortals by planting thoughts or ideas in their minds, particularly in individuals who are already creatively or intellectually inclined. This inspiration is subtle, often perceived by the mortal as a sudden stroke of genius or an epiphany, without realizing the divine influence behind it.
