Colossus - OLD

Written by Aeterno

Colossus is a deity of protection and a symbol of strength for the people of Tod.   As a result of an unknown conflict, Colossus is stuck as a giant cement idol cradled in the valley dividing the island in half.   She is a monument to what any species can achieve should they choose to devote themselves to it entirely. Open and sincere, honest and supportive, strong and protective, she was the brighter side of the old world.   She never spoke, at least, not when others were around; and she always preferred to watch in the background, like an outsider looking in.

Divine Symbols & Sigils

Bo-Staffs- as this was her choice of weapon, made from solid core and gritted mineral ores, golden band- adorn on her head to keep her hair back, Hag stones- said to be presents left by the coastline to be carved by the ocean, if you make a wish while holding it, and you keep it with you, she will be there in spirit to guide you to your dreams, steep valleys- such as the one where her cemented tomb sits, her staff a bridge from one peak to the other

Holidays

Mark of the Warrior- a day of peaceful standing, where people express their feelings of discomfort or insecurities while also bringing up those around them. Perceptions of this day are up to each individual, and some even go so far as to teach basic defense skills to whomever accepts.

Divine Goals & Aspirations

Protecting the Aeterno island and its inhabitants, other deities, gods, and whimsical beings who have separated themselves from the rest of the harsh old world.

Author's Notes

Colossus is my favorite as far as designs go, her outfit is inspired by those worn by bo-staff fighters. Her hair is an afro to symbolize the ethnicity she resembles and tree tops of which she loves. As more info is researched on the subject of the specific ethnicity I've made her reminiscent of, and on the ways of fighting with a staff, info will be added and altered to fit the needs. Expect more art sometime in the future.

I really like how human she comes off as; if you are trying to bring your deities down to Earth, I suggest reading Niel Gaiman's American Gods for some source material.

Thank you! The intent for this deity specifically was to feel human so I'm glad that is going through, and thank you for the rec I'll definitely look into it. :)
