Sol

* Old
* Young

**Sol** is the god of the sun. His status as an old god means he is owed respect, but unknown events have significantly weakened him, possibly beyond repair. In order to sustain himself, Sol must consume heat.

## Appearance

Sol appears as an adult man with dark gray skin and long white hair. He wears a long black robe with large bell sleeves that is tied around his waist with a gold-colored sash. The robe is tied loosely and exposes most of his torso. White bandages are wrapped around his lower torso underneath his robe. He does not wear shoes. He also wears thin black bandages around his eyes. Outside his domain, he wears an elaborate gold pendant, gold wrist cuffs, and slightly more embellished robes. His skin fades to black near and underneath the blindfold. His thin eyebrows are visible above the blindfold. Depending on how long it has been since Sol has fed, he can appear young and fit or old.

## Personality

Sol appears arrogant and omniscient when he believes he is in control of the conversation. He believes that gods are meant to use their power without restraint, regardless of the consequences it could have on humanity. He regards humanity in general with no value, at one point calling them toys. He is also isolated and does not allow gods into his domain without an offering to persuade him. Despite his sense of superiority, since he is one of the oldest gods in existence, he takes it upon himself to advise younger gods, even when they do not ask for it. He is used to being extremely knowledgeable, so he can be alarmed and visibly disconcerted when faced with a situation that he does not fully understand.

## Background

Sol was once an extremely powerful god named Anu. After an event that left his domain in pieces, Sol lost a significant amount of power and changed his name. It appears that nowadays he prefers to stay within his dilapidated domain and flaunt his seniority to those he allows to enter.

## Abilities

### Feeding

As the god of the sun, Sol feeds on heat. The exact details of this process are unknown, but smoking from a pipe appears to satisfy this need. The act of feeding makes him appear younger.

### Wisdom

Sol does not know everything, but his extremely long life gives him the experience and wisdom he needs to advise younger gods. He is also able to notice the births of new gods.

### Soul Evaluation

Sol is able to see the true nature of those around him and sense when something is wrong. However, he is unable to glean the exact details.

### Heat and Fire

When angered or otherwise, Sol is able to raise the temperature of his immediate surroundings, as well as cause nearby objects to spontaneously combust.

## Relationships

### Eros

*Main Article: Eros*

Sol believes Eros to be foolish, since Eros voluntarily gave up the power and prestige he held over other gods. He witnessed the aftermath of Eros' decision and believes it was not worth the reasons Eros had to step down. He also looks down on Eros for valuing humans. Despite this, and despite Eros' returned disdain for Sol's ideals, he still treats Eros fairly and advises him to seek opportunities for what he would consider redemption.

### Rue

*Main Article: Rue*

Sol does not understand what Rue is and is unsettled by her. He is wary of the damage that she could potentially cause and senses that something is wrong with her.

### Belial

*Main Article: Belial*

While Sol and Belial have similar views on the importance of power, Belial's disrespect for Sol as a god fallen from grace has caused Sol to show considerable hostility towards him.

## Trivia

* Ameliori has stated that Sol likes spicy things.
	+ This is reflected when Eros presents tabasco-flavored cigars as an offering.
* Sol's first name, Anu, implies that Sol was once powerful enough to be considered king of gods as well as one of the oldest gods in existence. His new name, Sol, implies that he is no longer significant relative to other gods. This can be gleaned from knowledge about the mythological figures he was named after.
