Merovech. The full list of titles and names for him is on the right. Merovech was (still is, technically) of the United Tribes of Merovech, and currently the Odin-type of Crux. As a god, Merovech is most popular in the far north of Crux (i.e., Merovech), but has small cults and followers spread across the world. Lets cut to the meat of this absolute unit.

## History

Born to a mortal woman and *Shuliak himself*, Merovech was already rather famous by his twenties, in which he was a massively skilled sellsword who was practically legendary for his seeming incapability to lose in battle; Merovech is known to have won over 753 skirmishes across Kagina alone, with so many others that fully listing all of them would take a few hours *at least*. But at around 34, Merovech joined the fight against the massive colonialist Great Empire of Kagina; a few years into this conflict, for his skill in battle and his tactical knowledge, he was made the commander of the unified forces of Merovech (the continent was named after him). Being the Marty Stu of Crux, Merovech practically destroyed Kagina by himself, then ruled Kagina for almost four thousand years (basically the entirety of the Age of Merovech, as the name implies) before he was slain in his duel against the only Druzayast left on Crux, Qun Qunuq. While Qun Qunuq is practically dead, laying comatose under a mountain of snow, Merovech was defeated soundly by being thrown entirely through a glacier into the Dead Zone of Qumu Dabrutu. His flesh was preserved by the cold, frozen solid, but in death he found new, unnatural life — lichdom. Rising from cold death, the dead king marched through the snow, through the ocean where fish ate the rotting flesh from his bones, and back onto his homeland. Standing in the center of the city he built, the heart of his accomplishments, he gave up mortality and physical form, ascending to godhood.

As a god, he reunited with his estranged biological father (Shuliak), and eventually decided to spend his eternity guarding Merovech from Kagina and any other empire who would dare subjugate the proud people of the north.

## Characteristics

### Appearance

Merovech, despite what *Marty Stu* entails, is actually really damn ugly as a mortal. He stood easily twice as tall as anyone else on the battlefield, wearing a thick suit of armour that was lined on the inside with animal furs; on his back was an absolutely gigantic cloak of stiched furs, one of which was a gyurr that he hunted himself. His personal sword was a single-edged zweihander which he used (and still uses like) a longsword that glowed with unholy energies. Normal eh? Under all that he has pale and slimy skin, eight eyes and horns, a beard of tentacles from his chin and around the back of his head, axolotl's gills, *four* fully functional arms with seven-taloned claws, and a tail that split into two prehensile ends about 2/3 of the way from its base. Biologically, he was sequentially hermaphroditic and had the muscles required to use all of his arms at full capacity.

After Merovech's ascension to godhood, he appears the same as above (hence the grammar being in the present), but shrouded so heavily in magical energies that one must strain their eyes to see the knight within. As the god of war, he is commonly seen observing skirmishes and battles; it is held by warriors that to see Merovech is to be chosen to die in battle and join his hall in the afterlife.

### Religion

Worship of Merovech is common amongst warriors and fighters of all kinds, his particular favourites being berserkers and spellswords. While Merovech is interpreted to be many different gods from multiple cultures, worshipping Merovech out of any of these aspects is very common as well; battle standards from most cultures have at least some symbol of Merovech on them, and most commanders pay at least some lip service to him.

Unlike his father, Merovech has little interaction with his worshippers and cult.

His sacred animal is the cartilaginous fish (any), sacred colours are red purple and gunmetal grey, and primary symbol is a hyper-stylized image of his face; some prefer to use a kidney-like shape with Merovech's name written on it in Merovechian. While he does gift his worshippers with magic at times, he is most likely to send them into a berserk rage, making them a supernaturally skilled warrior. Idols of Merovech are commonly seen beside those of Shuliak and other important war gods, and are usually carved similarly to Shuliak's.
