A M A R U SGod of Love. Resembles Heath Ledger. Romantically involved with a human a while back. He loved her dearly, but during this time, none of the races could feel such emotions. Amarus went as far as professing his love to the woman. However, she had already been pledged to marry another and could not return his feelings, so she left him. Heartbroken, Amarus cursed the races with love so that they might share in his torment. He spends most of his days strolling with and beguiling the women of Cydria. Currently, he harbors an ongoing love/hate relationship with Eris.
DISPOSITION:

ABILITIES:[/color] Can fill one person with temporary infatuation toward another.
• Adversely, he can cause people to fall out of love.[/ul][/blockquote][/blockquote]
A Q U I SGod of the Sea. Resembles Geoffrey Rush. He elected to spend eternity sailing the oceans which surround Cydria in a magnificent, voluminous ship he's named Aurora Ambulo. However, he drove himself insane after sailing around on his lonesome for a century. In hopes of restoring Aquis' sanity and grounding him to reality, Deitero created a race of water people to keep him company. This race is known today as the race of Mer. Despite Deitero's best efforts, Aquis went more and more insane. He spends his time sailing into whirlpools and launching hurricanes at various shores.
DISPOSITION:

B O R I M I RGod of Smithery. Resembles Jeff Bridges. A lover of violence, Borimir forged weapons for each of the races back in the beginning. He also taught certain members of each race his trade. He hoped that, in sharing his knowledge of weaponry with the Cydrians, he could keep the war alive. When the other gods moved to stop the war and initiate the tournament instead, Borimir argued, and ended up challenging Deitero to a duel over the future of the island. During the battle, Deitero knocked him clean off the mountain. Ever since then, Borimir has been bitter and secretly plotting to overthrow the supreme god.
DISPOSITION:
[/color] Volatile, as he is easily provoked to violence.
• Outspoken, carrying not what the possible consequences for saying the things he says might be.

D E I T E R OGod of Gods. Resembles Gary Oldman (who else?). When his younger brother Mortimer was born, Deitero overheard his father plotting to kill the boy, because he was pale and sickly. Deitero rushed to defend his brother, and ended up killing his father in the process. Though he was the middle child, he was the most charismatic of the three, and quickly assumed the role of family head. After advancing Mortimer to a more appropriate age, Deitero called a family meeting. He, Mortimer, and Aquis divided Cydria into separate kingdoms. Deitero would rule the land, Aquis the sea, and Mortimer the underworld. At this time, the island was unpopulated. First, Deitero busied himself with the task of adding more gods to the family. Shaping them out of clay, he gave each of the other gods their own dominion and personality. Then he requested their aid in populating the island. Thus, Cydria came to be. When the races went to war, Deitero was afraid to intervene, as he wanted to see if they could work it out for themselves. Then a century passed and the fighting grew more intense, so he called a council of the gods. He was the one who proposed that they create the tournament, and thus, it is his responsibility to oversee it each year.
DISPOSITION:
[/color] Manic-depressant, alternating between depression and pro-activity.
• Charismatic, attracting people toward him and leading them effectively.
• Secretive, purposely withholding information from even those nearest him for his own Deitero reasons.[/ul]
ABILITIES:[/color] Electrokinesis, as he can absorb, discharge, and manipulate currents of electricity with his mind.
• Can project his thoughts into the minds of others, in hopes of manipulating them.
• Retrocognition, as he is able to gaze into the past at will.[/ul][/blockquote][/blockquote]
G I D E O NGod of Mischief. Resembles Ralph Finnes. He spends most of his days pulling practical jokes on both the races and the other gods. Gideon tricked Deitero into gifting the mer with their siren abilities. He himself created plimpies and shrakes. He also rolled golden apples past the previous human champion, costing that race the final challenge of the tournament. Once, he even stole Borimir's hammer and hid it in the Iyun Canyon. He's been on the outs with the god of Smithery ever since.
DISPOSITION:
[/color] Animated, often talking quickly or gesturing wildly to distract from the fact that a trick is being played on the person he's talking to.
• Crafty, for obvious reasons.
• Manipulative, as he has a way of talking people into things that will both hurt them and entertain him in the long run.[/ul]
ABILITIES:[/color] Can tamper with people's memories. People can fight him on it, but it takes a fair amount of will power.
• Astral projection, which enables him to inhabit two places at once.
• Can perfectly mimic any voice he's heard.

M E L O D I U SGod of Music. Resembles Jake Gyllenhaal. He spends his time experimenting with various tools to create new musical instruments and giving impromptu concerts on Cydria for the sake of surrounding himself with adoring fans. He considers the playing of music a way of worshiping him, so he gifted the races of Cydria with his musical inventions. One day, while he was giving one of his concerts, he was attacked by a cerberus. Unable to fend off the beast with his bare hands, he cursed it to be weakened by music. Secretly involved with Amarus. *cough* What?
DISPOSITION:
[/color] Narcissistic, having convinced himself he's the coolest thing since sliced bread.
• Sociable, liking to surround himself with large crowds of people who will listen when he blathers on about himself.
• Persnickety, fussing over the slightest of details (also known as being a diva). [/ul]
ABILITIES:[/color] Sonokinesis, as he's able to manipulate and create sound waves through thought.
• Can play every musical instrument perfectly, even if it's his first time playing it
• Can restore or take away people's hearing.[/ul][/blockquote][/blockquote]
M O R T I M E RGod of Death. Resembles Jared Leto. He willingly condemned himself to governing the dead when he and his brothers, Deitero and Aquis, divvied up the land. Mortimer spends most of his days brooding about his castle. Each time there's a death, he is responsible for meeting with the soul and judging it. If he rules that the soul is bad, he is also responsible for determining an eternal punishment for said soul. To tie himself to the world of living (and preserve his sanity), Mortimer created the vampyr race by placing demon spirits in the bodies of some of his dead. This also gave him some dominion on land, limiting Dietero's power. He is currently in denial regarding his feelings toward Anastasia.
DISPOSITION:
[/color] Tenebrous, preferring dark colors and brooding to bright colors and socializing.
• Sarcastic, possessing a very dry sense of humor which he likes to utilize each time the opportunity presents itself.
• Temperamental, in the "unpredictable" sense of the word. As he keeps to himself, no one can tell exactly what Mortimer's about to do, but he rarely does the same thing twice in a row (unless it works out particularly well the first time).[/ul]
ABILITIES:[/color] Phasing, meaning he can pass through solid objects as though they were gas.
• Can reanimate corpses (LOLzombies).
• Can possess the bodies of the dead.[/ul][/blockquote][/blockquote]
S A P I U SGod of Wisdom. Resembles Liam Neeson. He passes his days in his library, conducting studies and learning as much as he possibly can. Whenever he's exhausted the resources he's already collected, he ventures to Cydria to gather more. Eris bullied him into gifting Chimeras with intelligence. Deitero asked him nicely to assist in the construction of each of the races (excluding vampyrs, as they were merely demon-possessed humans). It is because of Sapius the races are capable of thought.
DISPOSITION:
[/color] Timid, often choking over his words when he tries to communicate verbally.
• Clumsy, tripping and bumbling about when he moves (more so when in the presence of others).
• Obsessive-compulsive, needing everything to be in perfect order, or he'll suffer conniptions.[/ul]
ABILITIES:[/color] Whenever he develops an interest in a particular subject, he automatically knows everything about it, down to the last detail.
• Can transfer knowledge by touching a person's forehead.
