Antoine

Antoine, nicknamed "Anthony", is widely regarded as the most powerful, volatile, and fearsome of the twelve original gods and goddesses of Mt. Pias. He is the eldest son of Amarga and Davide, creators of the known universe, and brother of Seraphina, Loselle, Emeriah, Elizabeta, Bernadine, Carstantine, Saphya, Jores, Mygas, Katami, and Margaund. He is the husband of mortal-turned goddess Niboul, through which he has fathered four children - Kyagana, Robinelle, Jilette, and Hormanas.
In the religion of Lovotianity, Antoine is seated at the head of the Table of Oriasis, ruling as the king of the gods and retaining dominion over many of the natural elements of the world; including weather, the Earth and space itself; supernatural elements including the occult, and the musical element of mortal culture. The god's power is capable of destroying entire worlds, or, rarely, creating them. As Amarga and Davide's eldest son, he was gifted significantly greater power than that of his siblings, and can only be matched by his wife. However, as this has yet to happen, it is said to be only a legend.
In many depictions of the god, ancient and modern, Antoine is pictured as a maniacal and fearsome demonic, possessing mortal souls and making them commit heinous acts. He is a widely feared and hated element of the Lovotian religion, with a lack of love and mercy that supposedly violates the teachings of the religion. For those who follow him and carry out his will, he is rumored to reward those individuals with eternal happiness, wealth, or whatever their heart desires. His brutal behavior towards mortals has led to much of his following committing severe acts of violence towards one another, some for no reason other than sheer devotion to the god.

=== Appearance ===
Contrary to his genealogy, Antoine is described as the most youthful looking of his siblings. In terms of physical features, Antoine is portrayed as slender, standing just under six feet in height, with a fan of fiery red hair, dark brown ("almost entirely black") eyes, and light skin. In his true form, Antoine is portrayed as a fearsome demonic who stands over 100 feet tall, with dark red, cracked and bloodied skin. The absence of eyes in this form is supplemented by pitch-black, "soulless and deep" sockets, broken, twisted horns protruding from the edge of where his forehead meets his scalp, and long nails "sharper than an urumi." Many religious experts and historians suggest Antoine's human form remains youthful and rather innocent-looking due to the ferocity and callousness of his true form.
