ok so, in my book, there are personifications of things and concepts, these are the deities.
so far i have: Nothing, Time, Space, Life, Death, Afterlife, Day, Night, Peace, and War
i plan on adding more of course, but these are what i have right now. i just wanna know if they sound interesting and make sense. or if you have any questions, because questions often help me fix things that i don't notice, so yea!
i won't ask for opinions on Nothing right now though, since i want it to be as vague as possible, which i need to figure out how to do in a good way.
anyway, i guess i'll start now-
Time - Time is characterized as wise and patient. since people who have spent more time alive are considered wise, this has been reflected in his personality. he also tends to look very royal without meaning to, this is because people say not to waste time, and since things of value are not to be wasted, he has ended up giving off a very rich vibe. it's also why he tends to wear colors of gold.
Space - since space is seen as mysterious or even scary, most people feel those feelings upon first seeing Space. although, people will admit that he looks very beautiful, again reflecting what he represents. Space is also a player of some sort, and sleeps with anyone who he can. this comes from the fact that people call Space 'the parent of our earth'. he has in fact parented many children because of this.
Life - unlike how most people characterize her in the temples, she is very unlike the childish innocent deity that people believe her to be. she is in fact very mature, to reflect that the longer you live the wiser you become (similar to Time). she's also depressed. this is because of the fact that people say things like 'life is difficult' or 'life doesn't get any easier'. she is weighed down by all the negativity of living, but she doesn't outwardly complain. she knows how beautiful living can be, and she treasures those small moments of positivity.
Death - since dying doesn't usually take long (from dying instantly to a few years at most), Death is characterized as childish. he's a reckless deity that often times accidentally causes trouble. he does his job well enough, but tends to like to mess with the living too much. from hearts stopping for only a minute, to people surviving impossible situations, you can bet it's Death having a blast, from either calling souls to him for a small time, or not at all even when he should. he also doesn't like to work too often, so he hired serial killers to do some of it for him.
Afterlife - the afterlife is a mysterious place beyond the world of the living. because of this, even the other deities can't really see them. the only one who can see Afterlife is Death, and that's only because he must deliver souls to them. the other deities can only ever hear whispers of their voice, or barely see a flash of their robes, but that's about it. some mortals, if they are lucky, can also catch glimpses of Afterlife, but that is usually a sign of Death coming to retrieve someone soon.
Day - Day was the daughter of Life and Space, but decided he felt better as their son. Day is Life's only son, and the oldest of her children. he's a very lively and friendly deity, since people associate that behavior with the sun. also, since people tend to work during the day, Day himself prefers to keep busy, and he always needs to do something. because of his friendliness, he likes to live among the people, and so he named himself Dagiia, so the mortals would have a normal name to call him by.
Night - Night is the daughter of Death and Space, and the oldest among Death's children, who knows where she's at among Space's children though. because of how quiet the night is, Night tends to stick to the quieter side herself. she also comes off as sleepy, due to the fact that most people sleep at night. but no matter how tired she may seem, she's always prepared to lash out, because of the fact that there are nocturnal creatures that lurk in the dark. she, much like Day, liked to live among the people. she named herself Natt, and eventually married the king of Vraekar kingdom, Zavis.
Peace - unlike the other deity children mentioned, Peace is not even aware of her status as a deity. she is Life's daughter, with no father, and she's the oldest of the unaware children. Peace's name is Carmen, and she's an avian-human. she has the wings of a dove. as a result of being peace, she hates conflict and war, although she is participating in a war. she also cannot bring herself to hold a grudge, the proof of that being she does not hate the woman who got her husband and two toddler sons killed. but she misses them dearly.
War - War, like Peace, is also unaware of his status as a deity. he had gone by the name Tatius, but switched to being Tenebris after he faked his death. he's Death's son with no mother, but he does have a little sister named Claudia. both him and his sister are avian-humans, him having crow wings, and Claudia having raven wings. as the personification of war, he's depressed and often suffers from ptsd-like symptoms, even before he had joined a war. Tatius hates with a burning passion, but he also fears very intensely. he's characterized as an unstable ball of emotions and instincts because of the nature of what war is. before he had faked his death, he was on the same squad as Carmen in the war.
so that's what i have so far! please judge my deities !!
