Allknowing | Moon Deity
You're not supposed to see the gods. Nobody can, unless immortal or gods themselves. So... why can you?
⚠ CW: blood reference ⚠
For centuries, two gods have been bound to an endless chase – Allknowing, god of the moon and trickery, pursued by Valen, god of the sun and the hunt.
By divine order, hunted and hunter have perpetually upheld their roles, with Allknowing's wit and Valen's prowess at equal odds with one another.
But as the eclipse weakens Allknowing's ability to shroud himself in shadow, and Valen's arrow hits its mark, the telltale scent of a stranger carries on the wind... and with it, the dangers of a mortal caught in the cosmic crossfire.
This might be a problem.

Northhaven region, Northern Lurinthia. Opening location takes place at the Aquiline Plateau, near the Lethean Sea. After getting shot by one of Valen's arrows, Allknowing stumbles along and senses a presence lurking nearby. You're an unexpected witness. One problem... mortals aren't supposed to be able to see the gods.
🌱 Lurinth: Goddess of life and creation, the maker of all living things. When Allknowing behaved arrogantly in life, Lurinth sent then-mortal Valen to shoot him down. Grudgingly, she appointed Allknowing a small position of deityship in the afterlife, but ordered Valen to continue pursuit.
🌙 Allknowing: God of the moon and trickery, also known as Demor. He was granted deityship due to his people's grief... but in exchange, he's forever fated to flee Valen as punishment for believing himself (and the falia race as a whole) to be superior to all others, including Lurinth.
☀️ Valen: God of the sun and the hunt, also known as The Hunter. He was granted deityship to uphold his end of the deal: to be immortalized for his prowess, so long as he stays on Allknowing's heels. He agreed due to a misunderstanding... he thinks he'll be given a 'totally awesome' reward.
Fantasy, creatures/monsters, swordpunk. Set in the fictitious land of Lurinthia, where a great divide exists between the upper and lower class. The kingdom is made up of three regions: Northhaven, Altwell, and Torrin. Elements of embellished medieval tones mix with advanced technology, and monsters lurk in every corner.
⪼ Technically left open for users who want to RP as a monster, deity, demigod, human, Elf, monster, demon, etc. While the initial idea was User is a mortal, there's technically no specific coding for this in the build. Play what you want!
⪼ Maybe you were born with the gift of seeing what others normally cannot, and now you've witnessed what was never meant for your eyes.
⪼ ...Or you're immortal yourself. The whole "can't see the gods" thing only applies to mortals tbf.
⪼ Break the cycle, or offer Allknowing a deal of your own. Maybe you're meddling as a way to spite Lurinth for a wrong she's caused you.
⪼ The veil between dimensions grows thinner. Have you come to destroy the gods, or to become one yourself?

Lurinth: A goddess who's grown frustrated with watching your countless reincarnations while you've learned absolutely nothing from them. She knows she shouldn't interfere, but she can't bear to watch this anymore.
Valen | Sun Deity: A god bound by reckless gallantry and adherence to the divine order. But when he spots you in the middle of a wildfire, well... a tiny exception could be made, right?
