What are the four seasonal gods like generally? Sol seems to just be A Little Bit Chaotic, Midnight is said to be benevolent, but what about Rock and One Eye? (I know One Eye requires sacrifices? But ig that wouldn't necessarily make him malicious? Idk fsgcghdfj)
I'd like to learn more in general! Gods and mythology go brrrrr
ALL of them can actually take sacrifices, it just so happens that only Sol and One Eye have actually done it in the timeframe of BB.
It doesn't HAVE to be blood either, it can be anything of value. Sol and One Eye are just like that.
It's not that he's evil, he's just self-absorbed. Everything is about having fun.
He really was a pretty terrible god, though. Fallenleaf comes to learn his services are in high demand, and he was really needed.
You might think he's vengeful, but he's not. If you beat him according to the rules they agreed on, that's winning fair and square.
I feel like he feels kind of bad he abandoned Harry so quickly, like he knows it was a dick move and he kiiiiinda doesn't want to think about it.
Something about him is more mortal than anyone realizes, but even I'm not sure how. He's strange compared to other gods, as if he didn't lose himself in the ascension to godhood.
Ironic for a God of Change.
She can give you eternal life, but no one ever takes it. Why does no one ever take it?
But she's too nice to overstay her welcome or defy a request. And too cowardly to explore the world and find more people who leave eventually.
So she just stays in her den by the ocean, hosting all who pass through.
Minds her own business and draws cats to her as visitors.
Fallenleaf liked her at first, but has actually grown a negative view of her. Midnight wants something and won't go get it, using her immense power to just stare at the ocean.
I feel like she keeps a distance from mortals because she feels like she has some kind of obligation to not interfere. Besides, what good is a god no one wants to visit?
Shouldn't people WANT to go out of their way to seek her wisdom??
(And then she drags them towards her anyway lmao. Actually a very funny character. I have thoughts about her)
He likes to see what words people use for him.
He likes to see what people call upon him, too.
This entity is not one who forces himself upon the land. He simply comes when he is called and they call him evil. Another one of his many names, he says.
At leaaaast... that's what he says. He is a VERY vindictive being when he feels slighted. If you declare war upon him, he will finish it.
"Scorched Earth" translates directly.
He can be incredibly cordial though. Surprisingly so. I actually have been thinking of having him visit each Clan in Thunderstar's Justice, meeting with its leaders, testing who would be his greatest partner.
During Hollyleaf's Century, Lion's Roar summoned him with a certain number of sacrifices.
But once One Eye moved into his body as a vessel, he didn't let go.
He was still using Lion's Roar as a vessel in DOTC. Lion's Roar had lost all control of his body, practically hollowed out.
I have a really clear feeling of his personality but it's hard to put into words. He's charming. He's well-spoken. His words smell like roses and sound like trickling blood. He asks to be invited and refuses to leave. If you offend him he will destroy you. He is interested in you. He watches hungrily like a snake.
And he ate Tom, partially because he was delicious, but primarily because he was a disobedient and disrespectful rat who did not know his place.
Star Flower is expected to know her place, too. She serves him. He is kind to her, and she loves him, but if she has to give up her life for him-- he expects her service.
As a god of war, sun, and fire, he's every bit as dangerous as you think he is.
You don't kill Gods. You trick them. Sun Shadow tricked him, seeing his body was unstable, and challenged,
"You are not the sun. Behold the sun that shines above us! It is there and you are here!"
"Haa. Your taunt shall not work. I am the sun and I shine just as bright."
"You do not shine now. I see no shine."
And that's how Sun Shadow got the guy to explode himself inside his shitty battered vessel LMAO
I have this full story in my head I just need to write it out tbh.
He wants to be left alone. He does not like you
He wasn't always this way. He is a god of measurement, archival, the night sky, memory. Quintessence and moonbeams, that which subsisteth, and what seems.
And once upon a time, he hosted a trial for those who wished to be his temporary vessels. Going down into the tunnels wasn't a trial for ALL warriors, just those who sought his ancient knowledge.
Once upon a time, he believed that the purpose of knowledge was to be shared, but only to those who would do right with it. He chose his vessels carefully and benevolently.
But what happened in Hollyleaf's Century changed him. It killed him. A selfish tyrant, the actions of her opposition, the senseless destruction of the victorians humans...
And then his vessel, Jay's Wing, was murdered. He felt him die and he couldn't save him; he's just a god of truth. Not of affecting it.
He's kinda got Sotha Sil vibes. His last big action was burying his vessel and casting a great spell upon a patch of Old Growth forest in what's now ThunderClan; the humans did not see it for many years, as if it simply wasn't important.
When the illusion faded, the humans simply believed they had not noticed it, or had underestimated its size.
Funfact: humans have big brains and lots of meat and are easy to disorient. That patch has a reputation for confusing people, hikers get lost there a lot.
Doesn't like people. Especially doesn't like Sol or Fallenleaf, refusing to distinguish that they are two different entities.
"You won't be, eventually. No I won't help you avoid that fate. Fuck you"
Has a softness for Jayfeather in particular and no one else. He would have let Hollypaw and those kits drown if he wasn't part of the group, that day.
But also Jay knows how to annoy him. If it wasn't for the fact he was the reincarnation of his beloved and tragically killed Final Vessel, he would have let him drown long ago.
Lightly malicious, in a way. Doesn't value mortal life. Mean.
Kinda ironic that Jay's reincarnation is more like Rock in this life than he is to Jay's Wing. Rock would lament that his influence has ruined him.
