Lobolg, the Beast

God of Chaos Age: Many, many Millennia

Race: Hob Height: 250 feet Gender: Genderless, he/him Lobolg's true, primal form. He bears a great deal more self-confidence and excitability in this state, far more spontaneous, as his domain would suggest. Born from a falling star colliding with a magic-rich ocean, he was originally feral and mute, but learned to speak, read, write, and understand the world around him by eating the literature that those studying him had in storage. He soon grew to immense size and strength, catching the attention of the gods, who, sensing his power, decided to make him a fellow deity before he decided to stage a mutiny of his own. This massive beast lords over chaos itself; change, randomness, color, music, and bedlam are sure to follow. He speaks in a far more civilized manner than his appearance would suggest, preferring to sit and chat with mortals rather than force their supplication (though he appreciates when he can make them quake with a bit of fear).

He lost his ability to lie after betraying the trust of Kragg, the god of earth, who tore one of his tails off and turned it into a wooden staff. If he parts with it, he is wracked with pain akin to losing a limb, but it is bound by a curse that ensures he always speaks the truth. Because of this, he is a trickster more with his actions than his words.

Lorenzo, the Vagabond

The Wandering Bard

Age: Roughly mid-60's

Race: Half-elf Height: 6'5" Gender: He/Him Lorenzo Scompigli, or the "Old Man" persona, as Lobolg sometimes calls this form. More patient, more observant, perhaps a bit more cunning... though, this is still Lobolg, putting on an act. He wanders the world, performing and recruiting... worshippers? He's loath to call them such, preferring to see himself as a mentor figure, teaching them music or another form of art. He simply craves a bit of mortal interaction from time to time, and many are quick to write off a mad old man, but many are also quick to see the implied wisdom in such a form. He finds it very useful...

Loughran, the Trickster

(Shown here in a hybrid form) The Youthful Outlier

Age: Roughly mid-20s

Race: Half-Elf

Height: 6'2" Gender: He/They

At times, when Lorenzo simply isn't fit for the crowd Lobolg wishes to interact with, he instead chooses Loughran, a more youthful and suave figure. He enjoys this form when he conducts less... scrupulous ventures. Loughran portrays themselves as a self-trained con artist and magic user, able to seduce, manipulate and eliminate those who need to be eliminated. Lobolg himself doesn't enjoy such trickery on innocent sorts... so it's a good thing he's a deity, who can get a read on people's intentions quickly and thoroughly. He enjoys playing games with, irritating, or tricking the truly wicked in this form. They get the job done with elegance and grace that, while Lorenzo may have it, is much easier to be convincing in a younger form. . . .
