Divine Host

**Divine Host** Is a process anyone can experience in Lagios. A Divine Host is characterized as someone of any race who have gods or goddesses within their bodies. A Divine Host can be anyone although thus far only humans have been shown to be them. To be a Divine Host the person must share a body with a spirit of some kind this being the various gods and goddesses, when a god or goddess inhabits a mortal body they can remain dormant within or they can be active such an example being Elena within Queen Luna whom is active much of the time and even goes out of her way to help out as best she can. Due to the nature of being a Divine Host within the body are 2 souls rather than 1 and both the god in question and the individual each still retains their individual minds and personalities. Sometimes the spirit can even temporarily split from the body they inhabit to interact with the world around them or assist in things however only Elena seems to actively do this. An innate trait of all Divine Hosts whether they are aware of it or not is the fact that they usually gain a portion of the power of the spirit that resides within them examples include Queen Luna's innate moon magic which stems from Elena and May's Black Dragon Fist which stems from Noir. As such they have extra power and can call upon and borrow the power of the spirit inside them.

A Divine Host can either be temporary or permanent depending on circumstance sometimes a god or goddess can temporarily possess an individual or it can be permanent such as in the case of Queen Luna and May. In the case of them being permanent for one reason or another, the spirit cannot remain forever without a host body as such if their host dies they risk disappearing from the world forever unless they quickly take another host. A god spirit from a divine host can never be killed even if they are outside the body however their host can still remain vulnerable to everything.

## Abilities and Benefits Granted

A Divine Host is special among other individuals and they can enjoy certain benefits granted to them for sharing a body with a god or goddess one of such being an extended lifespan. Due to the aura of the spirit within them flowing through them constantly a host is able to retain their youth even after hundreds of years however in the case of humans it is after a few hundred years this begins to backfire as a human body cannot normally go that far their bodies will begin to fail on them such as the case with Queen Luna.

In battle, hosts can also enjoy the benefit of having extra aura at their disposal with the spirit within even able to provide them with more if need be and they also gain the benefit of enhanced reflexes in battle due to the spirit within them being able to see the world outside they can give the user a state of almost precognition. In addition to all of that a person, overall performance in battle is greatly improved boosting even their speed, strength, and durability.

It is possible as seen through Queen Luna to also be able to pass on abilities and magic normally only available to the spirit that resides in them by having children who may inherit it Nala despite not having Elena within her was born with the ability to use moon magic like her mother. Although this is not always the case as her brother Sol did not get moon magic.

Sometimes a spirit within a divine host can also swap places with them or switch who controls the main body allowing for the host to *rest* an ability displayed mostly by Queen Luna and Elena however a host must be willing to swap places with said spirit and they cannot forcibly take over main control of the body without some form of cooperation on the hosts end.
