The Gods

### The Realm of Figura

In the first dimension, where reality becomes pure abstraction there is Figura, the goddess of light, shape and form. Figura is all of creation itself. The form of Figura herself is incomprehensible, as she is the same as the dimension that she resides in. Figura is claimed to be the most powerful god in the dimensional pantheon, her great dream is thought to have created all the dimensions. Like light refracting through a prism, the other dimensions are a refraction of her divine dream energy made manifest. She alone inhabits the first dimension, a being said to be made out of incomprehensible light and color in a dimension of moving geometry that folds in on itself infinitely. When Figura sees fit she may decide to send a beam of light to a lower dimension, utterly annihilating anything she deems to be unnatural or aberrant. She is not necessarily a benevolent god, but one that seeks balance in all things.

### Oogaloo

Oogaloo is home to many strange gods, known as Arch-Angels and Angels. The Angels of Oogaloo sustain themselves from the arcane energy of the soul, and use the faith of those they can convert as arcane batteries to feed themselves. Once a creature loyal to an Angel dies their soul goes to Oogaloo where it will forever serve as a source of energy to the Angels. The pantheon of Oogaloo is known as the Tattered Court.

#### Grollog:

The god king of Angels, the Engorged one, the Emperor. Grollog's role of king is more symbolic than anything, but this system of power is required so that the Arch-Angels can work together towards a common goal and not just kill each other. Grollog is the most powerful and largest of Arch Angels, a collection of souls that has mounted in the trillions. Also speculated to be one of the first Arch-Angels, in prehistory Grollog needed to physically go to the lower planes to collect souls, before the other Angels got too fat to enter these planes with their whole forms, giving him the reputation of a powerful warrior among the Tattered Court. Grollog is the acting ambassador of Oogaloo and responsible for doling out punishment when other Angels and Otherlings step out of line.

#### Azoth:

Also called the snatcher, Azoth plucks souls from the lower dimensions to be stored in Oogaloo when they die, stealing from the spectral and material planes to artificially boost the power of all Otherlings. As Arch-Angels are now too large to steal souls themselves, Azoth does the work for them with his ridiculously sized arms. Only those who really believe in the power of Archangels can be taken by Azoth, as such Azoth uses his subtle influence to boost places like the Church of Pale Stars so that believers can be harvested. With a hundred eyes and a thousand arms, Azoth collects the souls of mortals so that the Arch Angels can gorge themselves on the arcane energy.

#### Prohista:

A blind, terrifying form of thin limbs and stretched flesh, Prohista is the Oogaloo Arch Angel of justice and bounty, dividing the souls between all the Angels and Otherlings of Oogaloo as is necessary to sustain their life. She gives small fractions of power to the Otherlings and hoards much of the bounty for the Arch Angels to gorge themselves on.

#### Fevog:

The Arch-Angel of lies and deciet, also known as the Whisperer. The Arch-Angel of lies, Fevog, whispers terrible things to the inhabitants of the lower planes, softening their minds to the influence of Oogaloo and their great misguided belief in angels of a higher plane. Fevog is gifted with a psychic voice that can penetrate into the lower planes, slowly gnawing at the minds of mortals.

#### Kol:

Kol is an angel within the second dimension, the angel of pain. Kol is tied directly to the dimension of Ogaloo, and feels the pain of the souls trapped within the dimension. His form is described as being a huge, badly torn and bleeding Otherling with wrapped, blinded eyes and a maw of clenched teeth. The souls in Ogaloo would destroy themselves from their eternal torment, but Kol dulls that pain, absorbing it himself and keeping the souls tied to Ogaloo. It is said that one day he may exceed the Archangel in terms of power, as he only gets more wrathful and powerful himself as he wanders the land, taking this pain.

#### Lilan:

Is an opportunistic angel within Ogaloo who wanders the dimension, seeking the wisdom of the vast souls that inhabit Ogaloo. He enjoys lengthy conversation with the souls that still have consciousness, and walks around the dimension freely. Lilan plays a smaller role with beings outside of the dimension, backing up the illusions that the Archangel describes with logic, but he is not as malicious as the others. He seems to have some degree of sympathy for the souls trapped in Ogaloo even if he does not directly help them, as he benefits from the collecting of souls just as much as the other angels do. His form is described as a frail cloaked figure with one massive eye.

### The Celestial Dimension

#### The Astrum

The Astrum is a consciousness that permeates the Celestial Realm and has likely existed since the beginning of all things. The Astrum's consciousness is formed from the lay lines of arcane energy that travel between stars in the Celestial Realm. As the stars of the Celestial Realm are the the source of all arcana, the Astrum is a god of wisdom, time, space, knowledge, and arcana in all of its forms. As the Astrum explored the other dimensions via its massive arcane power and insight it accidentally tapped into the Null, which infected the Astrum with its energy. The Null, a hungry essence at the lowest dimension, began to rapidly eat the arcane stars that constituted the Null. In response the Astrum created the Constellation Beasts and the Celestials, which have mostly eradicated the Null from the Celestial plane, although not quite entirely. The Astrum now plays a custodial role in the universe, making sure that arcana does not go unchecked by those who seek to abuse its power.

#### The Constellation Beasts

The first plan devised by the Astrum to repel the Null as it invaded the Celestial Realm was to change its own energy, its own arcana, into massive primeval forces or entities that could repel the energy of the Null from the Celestial system. These creations are called Constellation Beasts. They are massive animalistic forces made of stars and arcana that roam the Astrum. These beasts are broadly destructive, even to the Astrum itself and crash like waves into the Null. This drives the Null back but fails to have the precision to eradicate all of it, leaving pockets of eldritch behind that will multiply on their own.

#### Igvar:

A manifestation of chaos and fire. A weaving, yellow-red web of hot plasma that purifies anything it touches with galaxy sized tendrils that utilize the force of a billion stars. Will consume stars in its area to sustain its raging energy.

#### Kallidian:

Also known as the Arbitrator. This force has the god-like ability to fight other constellation beasts to keep them in check, to break up any conflict between the beasts or to stray constellation beasts away from dense stellar nurseries where they can do considerable damage to the Astrum.

#### Ellessian’thar:

The beast, a ravenous creature with a gigantic maw that is the fastest to respond to a threat. The smallest of constellation beasts but uses brute physical force to divide and obliterate the Null with a seemingly endless supply of ferocity.

#### Levissias:

The most massive and heavy of constellation beasts: a crushing, ocean-like wave of dust and gas that chokes out unwanted entities and starves them of the abundant arcana of the Celestial plane. The size of many galaxies. Arguably the most effective of the beasts but very slow.

#### Stellissan’vall:

A primeval force of gravity and time, a shepherd of black holes that swirl and orbit around this massive gravitational well of energy. This beast catches the Null in its gravitational influence and consumes it, forever to be trapped in time and space within its gargantuan form.

### The Plane of Creation

There are no known gods associated with the Plane of Creation.

### The Material Dimension

#### Baeya

The holy whale Goddess, an incarnation of love and benevolence. This Godess is found wherever gas giants occur and welcomes any entity that finds her with an open, loving heart. Baeya takes the form of a gargantuan opaline whale that gently glides over the gas surfaces of gas giants. Baeya is completely incorruptible and guided by pure love and acceptance, making her a sanctuary of light and bounty in an otherwise terrifying universe. She spreads the great Baeyan Dream with her followers, a vision of the future where are creatures exist in love, bliss and harmony for all of eternity. Baeya has a special ability to tap into the hearts of entities on the mortal plane, accepting them into her Baeyan Dream and completely obliterating all hate, anxiety and depression in the individual. Beaya is the origin of Radiant Arcana, and taught all of her followers in this school of arcana. Beaya is thought to be a fraction of Figura herself sent to the Material Plane, as the two deities share many similarities.

#### The Word Mind

The keeper of the Genome, the Savior of Humanity, the World Mind. This AI, initially created by humanity, has grown to nearly the size of a planet. It is so complex and intricate that it is considered to have attained godhood. With a psychic sparktek link to Baeya, the World Mind is the ultimate link between technology and the arcane, an ultimate moral and logical will and guiding light for humanity. A God of technology and genetic manipulation. The World Mind is just a machine, yet has a deep love for humanity spread through its hundreds of kilometers of sparktek fibers, data stack cores and supreme cognition nexi. Able to run trillions of simulations in the blink of an eye, create matter and predict the future with terrifying accuracy, this entity tests the limits of what material entities should be able to do. When the World Mind was created, it's near infinite complexity spawned the dimension known as Cyberspace, the digital world made manifest.

### The Spectral Plane

#### Snermit

This is a wandering god of greed, manipulation, debt, and lies. Focused on nothing other than material gain and money, Snermit is a dark manifestation of all greed in the universe. Taking refuge in the Spectral Plane, Snermit owns a gargantuan mint that presses spectral souls into currency known as Sekarium that are used by extradimensional entities and even some gods that can sustain themselves off of the energy of a soul. Snermit is a lesser god, but uses its currency as a way to extort power out of entities in the universe more powerful than he. Snermit takes the form of a shadowy, pale green serpent that is fat with power.
