Boris

ADAMANT LUCIDITY

 Summary

Boris or Boriyas is the Primordial god of Mountains, Stone, and Solidarity. He often resides in his realm or high-atop the impossible peaks of Galbar. Ever present and always warding, he stands vigil against the devils hiding in the cosmic crease of Actuality.

## Domain over Stone

Nature, the realm of living plants, animals, and the environments in which they inhabit all falls under the jurisdiction of this domain. It’s parameters seemingly infinite, it’s patron deities are representatives of its core aspects, some taking up the mantel of the ocean blue, or the expansive green. Boris on the other hand, molds rock under his hooves with each step, and sculpts mountains with the infinite duress off his tusks. He is the bedrock and the foundation upon which nature stands. So is his domain

Mountains, bulwarks of stone crafted from chaos is Boris’ alone to command. As a result much of his time is spent crafted mountain to adorn the world, all rich a full of minerals, all of which all under his domain. The very personification of these monoliths, the Lord of Stone may seem cold and unforgiving, yet once nature erodes away his exterior, his many layers are visible; solidarity, Strength, Calm, and Wrath He is a boon to those who can traverse the ranges he carves, and a blessing to those who can settle there. To others, he is certain death.

## Persona

Just like there are two sides to every story, there are two sides to every being. Boris’ duality comes in the form of how other perceive him and who he is on a personal level. Furthermore; Boris, akin to many, has three sides of himself. Not truly three distinct personalities, nevertheless, he has three ways of looking at things: contemplative, direct, or dubious.

His emotional set consists of a phlegmatic disposition, generally unemotional and stolidly calm. Which usually leads to assumptions of a depressed, cynical being, but bitterness and hate has yet to taint his soul. He still has an optimistic view of the world, harbors idealistic dreams, and naively believes that some gods can be trusted. Boris maintains no disillusion about the machinations of god nor the state the world may be in, however. But it’s a testament to his integrity and righteousness, how he will remain an honest and a responsible being.

In tenser situations, Boris is: controlled, focused, steady, and conscientious of his surroundings. Every decision is made cautiously and pragmatically; he's vigilant in his efforts and never rarely impulsive. (Despite this he is quick to go out the window when he is personally insulted or made fun of) He strives to apply the same manner of thinking to every facet of his life. This is why he doesn't interfere in every dispute and is content with watching until needed.

When it comes to Boris‘ ability to handle sudden changes and disagreements, his open-mind enables a high degree of adaptability. Because of that, he's able to be tolerant and forgiving of ignorance; whether he's willing to, differs from scenario-to-scenario. But to avoid any interactions outside of his duties, he projects a rough, cold exterior. He even goes as far as exiling himself, which further lends to the mysterious lone wolf persona he has adopted. This facade is obviously a guise however, as evident in his altruistic behavior. Once his icy shell has been broken, his warm nature will shine through and the courteous, cultured individual with a unique sense of humor and charm will be revealed.

## Appearance

### Base Form:

Boris’ Galbarian is not so far removed from that of his divine form, although his size is far less reduced. Instead, he takes a more approachable form, his hide a warm brown, his body three times the size of any normal boar, and his eyes a deep black. Gold adorns his ears and nose.

### Domain Form:

With eyes as white as snow and hide as hard as granite, the mighty mountains god’s domain form is a sight to behold. With each step, the earthquake and the rough cracking of stone against stone is ever prominent. In both size and visage, it is as if Boris is a mountain himself.

## Relationship with Other Deities

Boris considers the Moon to be his ex-girlfriend, despite being born in its core.
