Golden Council

The **Golden Council** was a council that registered administration over Earth, lasting from 1075 to 1211 AD. Consisting of five superhuman Bovanide members, the council was overseen by Zafe and operated at various locations across Earth, as individual members came together to make decisions. Though its members have existed long before the creation of the council, Zafe originally formed the council to look after the earth and make decisions without his overruling influence, dividing himself up into five different personalities of his to add balance and rational decision-making between them without one of them overruling the others. The council lasted for more than 125 years before the Goliad War, where Zafe's son and apprentice, Zafedon, assembled an army with hopes to dethrone his father and become his own god. In what almost resulted in the destruction of the universe, Zafe defeated his son, disassembling the Golden Council, and ending the life of each council member still alive on suspicion of treason and collaboration.

## Members

### Zafedon

Zafedon was considered to be the leader and speaker of the Golden Council, as well as its most powerful and influential member. Considered to be the direct son of Zafe, Zafedon was created in the year 1231 BC. Raised as a child directly by Zafe, he grew up with an aspiration to explore the world. Zafe initially wanted to groom his son into becoming the sole ruler of Earth, his lifelong project, but Zafedon strayed from that, seeming more like a participant than a leader, angering Zafe. Zafedon often lacked responsibility and was never accountable for any of his actions, and despite Zafe's ability to change and control his emotions, he hardly ever did so because he wanted to designate free will for his son.

It wasn't until he was selected to lead the Golden Council that Zafedon grew to be more responsible, and eventually grew a thirst for power due to his unstable, unleashed emotions. Zafedon worked extremely hard to establish a religion and cult of personality around him, exactly the opposite of what Zafe aspired to do. However, his father didn't interfere until the very end. Zafedon continued growing his cult, performed miracles, and became the most prominent figure on all of Earth. He was witty and manipulative, getting any non-superhuman to take his side. After revealing his plans to overthrow his father and become the new ruler of the regional universe to the rest of the council, his actions divided them as Gary Coldart (and to some extent, John Poposee) took his side. He led the Goliad War of 1211 AD, and with the help of the rest of the council, attempted to overthrow his father, nearly causing the collapse of the universe. Zafedon and his team failed, resulting in the death of Rosie Lovingston at the hands of Zafedon, Zafedon being captured and instantly vaporized, Gary Coldart and John Poposee both being vaporized due to their alleged collaboration and treason, and Ronnie Chapman being turned into a statue for his failure to stop them. Zafe also erased Zafedon's religion and cult of personality, as people then began to break off and worship other religions. However, his statues and monuments are well documented as the mystery of his once prevalent religion remains popular.

### Ronnie Chapman

Ronnie Chapman was created in 6361 BC, seen as the creator of natural phenomena on Earth. When Zafe started to become more attached to life on Earth due to its developments in society, Ronnie Chapman was created to assist Zafe in making the Earth more pleasant to the human eye. Over the span of thousands of years, he created floods, pyramids, mountains, trees, etc., becoming a sort of "ruler" of the natural surface. Ronnie Chapman was against Zafedon's planned overthrow of Zafe, attempting to intervene by going to war, but failing. Zafe criticized his failures, denouncing his further use, but allowed him to stay alive for being loyal. He now lives on as the Holy Chapman, having said to infiltrate the consciousness of those who focus hard enough.

### Rosie Lovingston

Rosie Lovingston was the last creation of Zafe before the Golden Council was formed. She was created in 1063 AD, just 12 years before the formation of the Golden Council. She was a caring, empathetic, tender, and thoughtful figure. She became the myth known as "Mother Nature", blessing nice deeds with good nature and weather. Rosie Lovingston dedicated her whole life to nature, and her tender love inspired many. She is said to be the perfect mix of "sincerity" and "wholesomeness". Rosie Lovingston was killed unexpectedly by Zafedon in 1211 AD as a sneak attack for opposing her plan to overthrow Zafe. Her life was dedicated through many memorials which still remain.

### John Poposee

John Poposee was known for his granting of riches and resources to those in need. Created in 7058 BC, Zafe gave him the responsibility of laying low and granting riches to the poor. His existence is not as documented as the rest due to his tendency to copy Zafe by having low profile and avoiding a religion built upon him. Poposee planted trees, gave life to areas of the world, collaborated with Ronnie Chapman to create lakes and mountains, and gave sufficient food and resources to all. Unlike Chapman, who was brave and cunning, Poposee had a mixed personality more like that of a normal human, having built-up jealousy, hatred for some, anger, and cowardness, built up deep inside after all these years. Finally, in 1211 AD, he let his anger and jealousy show, forming somewhat of an alliance with Zafedon to take down Zafe. He did not directly fight, but helped prepare Zafedon's army, leading to his execution by Zafe for treason in 1211 AD.

### Gary Coldart

Gary Coldart had a deep, grim, and realist personality. He did not see human life as sacred, but rather expendable. Created in 3024 BC, Coldart was a harsh critic of Zafe for most of his time. Despite this, he was awarded a spot on the Golden Council. He provided morbid and realistic insight, spending a lot of his time in cold tundras and the icy sea. He preferred to be away from human life, and much preferred cold spaces. Due to his many years of thinking by himself alone, he grew isolated, stuck in his own thoughts, secretly wanting Zafe overthrown to take his spot. Upon discovering Zafedon had similar ideas, he directly helped him by preparing his own army, which failed, and upon him fleeing, was captured by Zafe, questioned for his crimes, and executed for treason in 1211 AD.
