wow okay this one ended up LONG. a lot of text and shit...
but I'm finally happy with how it turned out <3
I didn't always have the idea for gods, but once I did, I've never been able to stop. Elara specifically was the first one I created, and she holds a special place in my heart. She's obviously changed since her first design, but these new redesigns are something that feels good rn, so I'll have to draw and color them at some point.
Matahari and Astraios are the ones that have changed the most-- Matahari actually had a different name for a long time lol, but @/missazura was kind enough to offer me a name when I asked if she had any in her language meaning sun/light. Matahari means 'eye of day', and I've been hooked on the name since. Thanks Azura!
I was thinking about changing Astraios' name, but I'm just a little too attached to the name at this point lol.
Malos on the other hand... it's not... new? But it's not old either. It's something that just kinda came into being to explain the villain's powers. The way to best describe it is like... Galactus from Marvel? A world eater who ripped through universes abandoned by their gods, only to come upon a brand new world and the three gods who were willing to die to protect it, and it was outmatched by their sheer determination.
As for the prophets, I'll be talking about them more in the next worldbuilding post when I get around to it <3 These three are actually the first prophets, and the only ones specifically chosen by the gods! I'll put it into the next post but prophets are entirely random. Once the old one dies, a new one is born within the next week or so.
if anyone needs any transcript, I'd be happy to write it out! I know it's a lot of text lmao
