Acinusisim

Pronounciation: **(A-Ki-Nus-Is-Im)**

Acinusism is a religion that revolves around life and sweet berries. The religion worships a deity that goes by the name of **Acinus**, the God Of Berries and the granter of prosperity, along with the existence of The Garden, a sky island that hosts all types living creatures that grants eternal life to whomever dwells on the island. Acinus was first seen by the traveler and later founder of **Acinusia**, **Mikel Arlensen** as he was starved in his journey on **The Great Trek**. To relinquish Arlensen's starvation, Acinus handed him half a stack of berries. As he ascended back into the sky to his home land, The Garden, he said to Arlensen, “Amplecti baccam. Virtutem eius consume et vivre”, Latin for “Embrace the berry. Consume its power and live”. Ever since, he never came back. Desperately, Mikel consumed the berries, and his life was restored. Not only that, he became more agile and more healthy then before, as he suffered from various chronic illnesses from his trip from Eldham to Iaddithis. Mikel Arlensen fell to his knees and started to pray and thank Acinus for his wonderful gifts, and begged for him to come back down to Iaddithis to bless its inhabitants with the power of his berries.

## Birth

Acinus was born with his sister, **Sylva**, in the countryside in a small village named **Pulchra Prati,** the only village located inside The Garden. The Garden is a sky island located 100,000 blocks in the sky that is inhabited by animals and vegetation, along with the makeup of multiple bodies of water. The ground is made up of **cearth**, a cloud that is a soft as a cloud, but has the properties of Iaddithian Earth. Both Acinus and Sylva’s birthdates are unknown, as their parents abandoned both children at birth. Acinus also does not what his parents looked like, as they left both him and his sister when they were both at a young age.

## Abilities

### Pre-God Abilities

Before being known as a God (officially being a God at 35 years old), Acinus’ main abilities was his strength, healing ability, and intelligence. He was able to fight for hours against the rarest and strongest creature in The Garden, the Gardenian Dragon, when he met it for the first time at the age of 18 with no combat experience or combat training. He is also able to lift Gardenian Iron, which is 100 times stronger than Iaddithian Iron, in which he was also able to accomplish at 18 years old. This action alone shows how strong his physical abilities were even before he became a God.

Acinus' healing ability is extraordinary, as his body could heal a wound in less than 30 s depending on how large the wound is. The time also increased based on how healthy his body was at the moment. For example, if he was fighting for 3 days with no breaks, the time it took to heal his wounds would increase. The reason for this is because of the Special Sweet Berries that he eats that contains tremendous amounts of life energy.

Acinus also has great intelligence. His smarts when it comes to vegetation and berries excelled anyone in The Garden. Before he became a God, Acinus was originally a botanist who studied vegetation of The Garden. Because he was an expert botanist, he knew everything about the vegetation on the sky island, from the structure of the vegetation on a physical and molecular level, to becoming known to how to use the properties in brewery. It is said that Acinus was the 'Father Of Brewery' as he was the person to invent the first alcohol, a prototype of Red Wine using Special Sweet Berries that were only located in The Garden. He also developed the first techniques to develop different types of brews: **aging, fermenting, and distilling**. Along with his intelligence in the botany field, Acinus had intelligence when it came to time. He created the Gardenian Calendar, a calendar that consisted of 4 months with 35 days each month. He calculated the months by observing the length of only 2 seasons in The Garden, Aestus (hot), and Coryza (cold).

### Post-God Abilities

After he officially became a god at the age of 35 when he was impaled with a divine light from the creator of The Garden, **Sator**, an immortal, mysterious being. However, because of his healing ability, Acinus recovered quickly. In result, he gained the power to take away or give life with a single touch, grant prosperity to whomever he pleases, and better physical attributes. He was also given the **Staff Of Sator**, a staff that supported Acinus' new abilities. During the time after he became a God, he would sometimes adventure into the world of **Iaddithis** to find someone worthy to test his abilities on. It is believed that **BloodyBelgian** was granted vast prosperity because of how worthy he was, which explains why he is in such great health and how he can preform superhuman actions, such as flying, if he wants to. However, on the day that Acinus encountered FireFistM1CAH, FireFist believed that Acinus only did not grant him prosperity since he did not show any appreciation to what he did when FireFist was starving. THis is why he wants to gather followers of Acinus so that people like him could be granted prosperity by simply praising Acinus.

## The Gardenian Dragon

As said before, The Garden is a sky island that is located thousands of meters in the sky that hosts a large number of different animals and vegetation. The rarest animal in The Garden is named the Gardenian Dragon, a violent and aggressive type of dragon that is said to spit mysterious purple flames, have a body as durable as steel, and weighs 50,000 Kg but flies as if it is light as a feather. This dragon was seen three times by Acinus, with the first and second attempts occurring when he was only 18 years old. In his first attempt, he located the dragon on a snowy hill peak near his countryside village of **Pulchra Prati** in which he attempted to tame the dragon but failed miserably as he was beaten badly. He left defeated with bad bruises and broken bones.

During the time span of his second attempt, he trained hard to beat the dragon by lifting Gardenian Iron Weights made up of Gardenian Iron, weights that are 100 times as stronger than Iaddithian iron. A few weeks later, on his second attempt, he went after the dragon in an attempt to tame the dragon again. After many days, he found the dragon in a lush, open field of grass. He was fully prepared this time, as he wore Gradenian Iron Armor and attacked with Gardenian Iron weapons. The fight lasted more 7 days, in which there were little to no breaks in-between the fights. Finally, after the 7 days, Acinus and the dragon became fatigued. As they had no breaks in between their fights, both grew sleep deprived and They both decided on an agreement that the battle was stuck in a stalemate and that they should stop their fighting. Acinus decided to go back to his hometown village to rest up, in which he slept for 5 months to recover from his heavy fatigue and many injuries.

His last attempt happened after he became a God. Again, Acinus found the dragon on the same lush fields that he had found the dragon on his second attempt. However, no fighting happened, because the Gardenian Dragon, the most aggressive creature in the Garden, refused to fight out of pure fear and saw that fighting him would cause harm to his own life. Seeing that the dragon was terrified of him, Acinus took the opportunity to negotiate an agreement with the dragon. He told the dragon that he wanted to tame him and befriend him and in return, he swore to never harm the dragon again. The dragon agreed and the end of Acinus' fighting with the dragon ended.
