**Raius Avani** is a male divine who founded and previously ruled over Evury and was a leading deity in Semayi. During the first Great War he sided with The Founders and, following their defeat, was banished from Semayi as a result. He currently lives on Earth.

## Appearance

Raius has chestnut brown hair and sparkling, gentle, hazel eyes. He is around 5'8", though other aspects of his appearance have changed following the banishment. Prior to his banishment, Raius had golden brown eyes that were like embers. They emitted a warm and comforting glow to those around him, and he always wore a patient, pleasant expression. His hair was long and typically tied back in a high ponytail, leaving only a few strands in front to frame his face. His robes were typically made of rich brown silk and lined and dotted with gold accents. Beneath his robes he typically wore plain dress pants and a white collared shirt.

Following his banishment he took on a more "human" appearance. The glow in his eyes vanished, which is absent entirely unless he's using his divine magic, and was replaced instead by a peaceful, pleasant warmth which cannot be overridden. He cut his hair, preferring it to be short rather than long. This also makes him look quite a bit younger despite the fact that his age hadn't changed. He tends to wear warm earthy colors, like various shades of brown, green and rarely red.

## Personality

Raius is a gentle soul who believes that all individuals deserve second chances. He took care of Evasis when Rhys was evidently out of control and offered him a place to stay in the meantime. He was also quite close with Oriana, the god of Earth. He has a deep-seated desire to help those around him and support them, which bled into his decision to side with the Founders during the first great war. This care also carries over into his personality following his banishment, which he spends caring for the Earth and staying in touch with Oriana. He goes out of his way to ensure that the ecosystems are balanced and healthy, such as removing and relocating invasive plant and animal species and picking up litter.

## Biography

Raius spent much of his life in Evury and Semayi, learning how to be a good deity from Thada, Svjetlo and the others that came before him. He founded Evury and established vast and immense trading routes throughout Semayi to encourage the other nations to work together and support one another. He was in charge of Semayi's inner workings and would often settle disputes between leading gods, though these problems typically stemmed from Viris having a different opinion than Ozarin. Despite the occasional dispute and chaos that would erupt in Semayi, Raius enjoyed his life there and made lifelong friends. Ciel and Semayi have been connected ever since the dawn of time, and he grew acquainted with the kinder and less power oriented gods there.

When the conflict of the Great War arose he sided with the founders, believing that humans should be given a gift to help protect them against corrupt gods and give them the power to contend against those who were oppressing them. During this war, Evury discovered a rather deadly and strong metal called psykivium. It was originally called a "frame gem" because it was used to create the frames and accents for clothing and weapons until it was discovered that it was particularly useful against demons. Despite the fact that Svjetlo had never officially joined the war, he sent two of the upper demons to fight in his stead. Psykivium drove demons insane and it was weaponized for that fact. Toward the end of the war, though, it was deemed inhumane and banned from combat. After his side suffered a decisive defeat at Ciel's hands, Thada and Svjetlo agreed that it was only fair to banish Raius from Semayi and remove his status as a leading deity. Following the banishment Raius retreated to Earth, where he knew his closest friend had been sealed. Since then, he has devoted himself to protecting and preserving the Earth as well as its inhabitants.

## Abilities

* **Terrakinesis** - Raius is able to manipulate rocks, soil, mud, and anything related to the ground freely. Though this ability does not work with wood and any other organic material. He uses this to make temporary buildings, boost himself, and to fight.
* **Seismic Sense** - Using the tremors he can feel through the ground, Raius is able to generate a basic image of what his surroundings look like, almost like echolocation. He uses this primarily in battle as it allows him to react quickly to unseen threats. This ability is so sensitive that he is also able to sense the footsteps and movements of insects.
* **Teleporation** - Like other gods, Raius is able to teleport interdimensionally using coordinates.

## Trivia
