Qullqiya

## Summary

Qullqiya is a conceptual goddess of the Supernatural and represents a more chaotic side of magic, one that tries to be fully emancipated from the laws of physic and order.

She was born after Qael'Naath rejected his chaotic tendencies, which had become particularly bad after an encounter with Enmity.

Qullqiya is a goddess of paradoxes, guided by her reverse ideology, she avoids direct worship any claims of leadership but keeps a present influence under the shadows.

## The Domain of the Supernatural

Supernatural is that which is beyond the laws of nature, which cannot be explained by logical methods. Mortals often showcase fear towards an existence beyond the mundane, yet often have a belief in things unseen, be it charms, clairvoyance, or tales of spirits and magical creatures.

Its a brand of magic that is naturally chaotic. It is rare, erratic, fleeting, asymmetrical and elusive. Yet unlike the occult, it doesn't need to be necessarily hidden. It's designed to not become commonplace, to be impossible to truly understand, as its power is derived from impossibility.

Unlike most magic which is independent in concept, the supernatural exists from a mortal perspective, from a wish for things beyond what is naturally possible, a belief in magical solution and unseen forces of destiny or luck, one could see it as a rebellion against the natural order.

### Darkness

Darkness is a mortal concept, it is not the mere physical lack of light but the uncertainty it brings, the blind spots their senses cannot reach which end up creating a blank space that their mind often fills with all types of possibilities, many of them illogical. Mortals will often see things in the dark or hear words when faced with complete silence. Mortals will often drop all pretense of logical thinking when faced with blind spots and sensory deprivation, they will lose their faith that locked empty rooms are truly empty, they may believe empty boxes could be filled with something or that dark alleyway could lead into distant lands.

This anxiety-driven, often illogical, creativity is, of course, beneficial to supernatural possibilities and as such, it is often the interest of Qullqiya to keep things a bit obscure.

## The Realm of Starryhall

Starryhall is a land of contrasts. Under an eternal night, most of the landscape has a gentle, muted appearance. Simple forests and hills, with small streams and serene lakes. The structures in this land are the opposite, they are somewhat colorful, elaborate and often decorated in glowing details, in particular the roofs.

Within the building is what seems to be an academy or university of sorts. Libraries, studies, exhibitions, observatories, among all sorts of rooms dedicated to both study and bureaucracy. To many, it appears to be a parody of such buildings, as all 'study' done here will always lead to more questions than answers, but to its true master it is a useful tool in the development and 'shipping' of supernatural phenomena.

## Personality

For a goddess of a chaotic domain and purpose, Qullqiya acts in a way that is surprisingly methodical and orderly. She has mannerisms that are polite and elegant, her tone is reserved but not emotionless, and she even has a bit of an obsession with organization. All of her formal behavior doesn't change the fact she is a chaotic being who is likely to act in an illogical manner and spout absurd logic, even if delivered in a 'reasonable' lingo.

She speaks in a very particular way, with an abundance of neologisms, acronyms, euphemism, and a pretense of sophistication and that all she is saying is matter-of-fact, even when they are in fact opinions and conjectures, and she abuses statistics and hand-picked interpretation of previous events to drive her points.

Her objective is simply the maintenance of the supernatural, to keep creation free from the shackles of order, yet, she has no particular ambition to directly undermine other gods, although she does desire to expand her domain as much as she possibly can and it may require some actions which may not be necessarily beneficial to her siblings. Her approach to the objective is often goal minded and direct, delivering chaos in a systematical and efficient manner.

Born from lifeblood that was once part of Qael’Naath she holds some uncharacteristic strong feelings of rivalry towards that god, sometimes it goes as far as her planning to subjugate him and becoming the true and only magical deity, but most of the time it's just a colder, more distant feeling, a constant desire to be better, smalltime conspiracies and skirmishes against him. Though its a very personal fight, if others try to intrude in it she will take offense, in fact, if some other entity tried to subdue magic she could even see herself cooperating with Qael'Naath.

## Forms

### Core Form

A normal-sized female with a monochrome, platinum-colored body, often wearing minimalist black clothes with more elaborate ornaments in cyan, yellow or magenta along with jewelry of metals and gems within the greyscale palette. She is impressively 'sturdy' in this form, even for a goddess, with her skin having a texture and hardness similar to diamond.

### Supernatural Form

A lean and elegant winged beast covered in what seems to be a mix of plumage and fur. This form has an advantage in being larger in size and having wings and claws, her body is soft unlike in her core form, quite nice to pat.
