Sirius

Shy, cunning, philosophical, altruistic, Sirius is the conceptual god of hope. He prefers indirect action, schemes, and delegation to achieve his goals.

He favors paragons, the hopeful downtrodden, philosophers, and the repentant. He disfavors those who discourage hope or philosophy and the unrepentant and will work against them, especially for the better of the grieved or his favored.

He appreciates beauty but relies on enhancement or imitation to create it.

He dislikes blatantly lying but is more than willing to bend the truth.

Ensnared by his insecurities, created by a mistake and misunderstanding, Sirius remains optimistic.

## Divinity

### Domain

#### Stars

The failed creations of the discordant blood, they shimmer with reflected sunlight in the night sky. Their haphazardous construction caused alien material to shed from them. This space debris is composed of earthen asteroids, crystalline comets, metallic meteors and clouds of mysterious nebula dust.

The stars have their own movements, prehaps influenced by the blood itself. Sirius can influence their positions to weave scriptures and omens in the night sky. In addition, any intentional expression of sincerely held belief or desire towards the stars acts as a prayer to Sirius.

Sirius can manipulate the debris created from stars, manipulating their movements and form but not their composition. He can imbue materials with a trace amount of these foreign elements to create new substances.

He can attune people or objects to the stars, light which reflect off them, or the debris created from them. He can bless people to see perfectly in dim starlight or create a compass that points to the heart's desire so long it is touched by starlight.

### Magic

The universe has an intricate pattern.

In comparison to Qael, he is far less direct. As is his nature, he relies on initimation and subtly.

His preferred method of using magic involves using the laws of magic as a medium of passive communication with the divine, omens.

Though sometimes he will grant aid in more direct ways by extending the power of the stars or zodiac to magicians of other magic systems, astrology.

### Portfolio

#### Hope

Hope is optimistic forward-thinking. Hope can fortify the mind, preserving it against despair and tempering its baser desires. Followers of Sirius have greater mental protection, but for all but his greatest champions, it pales in comparison to the innate power of avatars.

Hope can empower people to survive through difficult times, granting them temporarily, but occasionally recurring, strength, endurance, or speed, drawing from their inner strength.

## Forms

### Base Form

A small child-like biped entity almost entirely covered in a single roughspun cloak. Small specks of light peek out from under the covering. He usually keeps his head down, but peering under his hood reveals a featureless face that appears a reflection of a starry night sky. He nearly always seen carrying a shepherd's crook made of stone from asteroids.

### Domain Form (Star)

Identical in stature to his base form, he sheds his cloak. His skin begins to mimic the glow of stars, becoming a being of orange and yellow light. Clear, mosaic, crystal wings grow from his back, and reflect his light in all directions. In this form, it appears as though his crook is formed of comet crystals.

## Realm

### Quasar, The First Star

The first star forged by the blood, and the birthplace of Sirius. Even though it was returned to the blood, it shines a light uniquely its own onto Galbar.

It is a barren space, void of land and sky. Pitch black and bright light meet without any gradient. Space debris enters and exits the realm at will.

## Avatar

### Ceres

Similar to Sirius' base form, she is a featurely bipedal form that resembles the night sky but appears an adult. She is covered in earthen armor formed by asteroids and wields a hammer made of the same material. She is stern, serious, and respectful. She respects strength, self-reliance, diligence, responsibility. She dutifully completes any task he is assigned and will seek to further Sirius' agenda when possible, she also has her own goals that she will work towards.
She has a particular affinity and protectiveness for children, as they are those who have let a chance to prove themselves. She appreciates brawls and honorable fights, though she is often disappointed about how she has to hold herself back against most foes. She appreciates beauty and understands novelty, but prefers practicality, believing that you can live a full life with nothing but a full gut, strong walls, a big club, and a resolute heart.

In addition to being extremely strong and endurant, she is capable of flight though only in straight lines with very limited turning ability. In addition, she is capable of flying at high speeds, but she needs to gradually pick up speed as she flies, and turning even slightly can drastically slow her down. As with the material she was forged form, she is extremely resilient to extreme temperatures
