Genocidal or Peaceful?
He roots for peace, but sometimes it can be a bit boring. There is nothing wrong with shaking things up a bit, especially if someone wicked dies. However, he was one of the first to get tired of this never-ending war. All of the innocent children and baby animals dying sickened him and he threw up a few times (which he blamed on food poisoning because he did not want to lose face in front of the other gods).
He is the god of…
Innocence, Childhood/Youth, Games, Creativity
Thoughts on Collaborating
He is anxious and his nervous tic is back, but he thinks this is the best option. However, he has never done a group project before and does not know his place in the decision-making. What if he is ignored and his values are not included? He is scared that he is going to blow it again and it will all repeat itself or that the ones he especially cares for will pay for his insecurity.
Thoughts on the War
He regrets everything that happened. He often wishes that he could roll back the clock and somehow prevent the war. He somewhat blames himself for it but knows deep down that he probably couldn’t do much else. After all, what can innocence do against destruction? Part of him wants to blame it all on the bloodiest deities, but his guilt balances out his accusations.

Appearance
God Appearance
He can age and de-age his body, ranging from that of a newborn to a young adult. His clothes do not change sizes with him, but if he can still function with it on, he is going to always wear his hoodie. His favorite and usual form is what he has dubbed “The College Student”.
His hair is as dark as the bottom of a lake or the entrance to a storm drain. Whenever light hits it, it reflects a blue sheen that often reminds people of a raven’s wing. Or a Black Jersey Giant hen’s feather—he’s gotten both compliments. It falls a little bit longer than his armpits in dirty elderberry waves. He allows it to fall into his face and eyes. It is naturally straight, but oil, grease, and dirt make it wavy. Whenever he does take care of it, he keeps it in a bun or a high ponytail. Occasionally he braids it, but usually, it hangs from his scalp like Ramon noodles. Once in a blue moon, he’ll cut it shorter like his mortal form. Or go emo. Just above his forehead is a single horn that curves like a rhino’s horn. He finds it annoying because he has to cut a hole in all his hoodies’ hoods if he wants to wear them.
His eyebrows are thick and bushy as if the down of a duck was glued to his face. His almond-shaped eyes are dark like his hair and seem pupil-less. There are permanent dark rings around them from unhealthy sleeping hours and this is the reason why he is sometimes called ‘Panda Face’. If it weren’t for his outdoor activities, he would be pale-faced from hiding in a dark room with blue light. Small freckles dot his tan cheeks and nose lightly. He has a square facial shape and mid-sized lips. His nose has a low bridge and is small and squat. His skin is porous and oily. Acne dots his face as a result, but he couldn't care less. Why should he? He’s a god.
He is a lanky figure because he doesn’t want to take the energy to look buff. His arms and legs are thin and he has knobby knees like a storks. He stands at 5’ 10” and weighs 146 pounds.
He spends most of his time in a slightly oversized black hoodie with a stock photo of a crowd of people on their cell phones on the front. On the back, it reads “I Survived the Zombie Apocalypse”. He wears gray sweatpants everywhere and “I <3 Chickens” socks with his slides. He has cut a hole in his hoodie pocket so that a silkie hen could poke her head outside of it. The only piece of jewelry he has are twin golden rings that spin in the middle. He wears them on his thumbs, which look peeling and scabbed around the nail. It is supposed to help with his anxiety. He doesn’t get why the other deities wear all the chains and fancy stuff when comfort is king.
Weapons
He has an arsenal of weapons that he keeps in his red drawstring bag. A pair of scissors that can shrink or grow at its user’s will, a never-ending-multi-tool pocket knife with his name engraved on it, a BB gun that you never need to load, a baseball bat, and the most painful of them all: a bag of legos.
He tries not to kill people but isn't always opposed to it.
Side Note: He also is an archer but solely uses this skill for meditative and health purposes.
Mortal Appearance
Surprisingly, his mortal appearance is more cleaned up than his other one. That is because people have social standards that he has to keep to keep a low profile. Plus he doesn’t want them to think he is homeless.
His locks are cut short and it is wild on his head, sticking out in odd directions in a boyish manner. He no longer has his horn and tries to lessen his “panda rings” by wearing Harry Potter glasses. He wears sweaters instead of hoodies and replaces his sweats with khakis. His tennis shoes are kept clean. He washes every other day and scrubs his face in the morning.
Voice
His voice is surprisingly low and you wouldn’t expect such a deep note to come out of such a skinny man. His voice does crack (in both appearances). He can’t sing anything higher than the A above middle C. It does change into a child’s voice whenever he de-ages.
Personality
• Tries to be sarcastic and snarky (often fails) • Daydreamer • Immature • Childish • Annoying • Easily Bored • Anxiety Issues • Moody • Emotional Wreck • Will Cry in Cereal • #Chickensaretherapists • Overprotective of animals • Coddles animals • Loves children • Abhors bad parents and owners • Would babysit for free • Considers babysitting as a playdate • Self-inflicted sleep-deprivation • Constantly wants to be doing something • Playful • Could care less about other peoples opinion on him • Actually cares too much • Gaslights himself • Regrets crap • Bad liar • Blames self • A bit angsty tbh • Can be productive • Slightly conflicted • Commitment Issues • Insecure • Can be nosy •
He likes to be sarcastic and snarky (or at least attempt it), and he spends his free time thinking up zingers and comebacks. He often daydreams about alternate responses that he could’ve said instead of what sad sputter he did say. These usually end with his opponent being completely baffled by the brilliant insult thrust at them. However, these alternative endings are unrealistic and meant only for his dreams. He is immature and can be childish. He has also thrown wooden blocks at people while saying “so sorry” with an impish grin for no good reason. He easily gets bored and will either be mischievous and create drama or play with his chickens.
His eight chickens are his babies and he has knitted outfits for them. They are spoiled with food and attention. They know his voice and their names. He tells them everything and they don’t judge him because they are chickens. His favorite is a fluffy white silkie that sits on his shoulder. He has cut a hole in his hoodie pocket so that she can poke her head out. He jokingly claims that she is his emotional support chicken and sneaks her inside meetings. Her name is Arabella.
He does have some anxiety issues and has developed tics. Whenever he is anxious he will scrape the skin around his thumbs, causing them to bleed. He had himself straightened out, but the stress of the war made him relapse.
He has random mood swings and is overall an emotional wreck. He’ll randomly switch from crying in frustration to babying a puppy dog. He doesn’t sleep much at night, and although he condemns electronics, he owns his fair share. He often locks himself in his quarters, playing Minecraft, pirating manga, watching TV shows, and drawing digital art until five in the morning. He sleeps during the day but makes sure to spend enough time on his other hobbies. Since he easily gets bored, he surprisingly gets a lot done.
He likes children and babies because they're cute to him. He particularly likes toddlers because they are active, curious, and explorative. They are always looking for fun and he likes having fun and being imaginative. Plus his dark jokes go straight over their heads. Plus he loves their whole-hearted trust and freedom. Their innocence is beautiful to him, like a blanket of fresh-fallen snow before someone stomps on their hearts and dreams, mucking them up into grainy sludge. His least favorite ages are the middle-schoolers because they’re just brats. Teenagers are meh with him and often arrogant. College students are a favorite because they’re on the edge of childhood and are figuring out how to adult, which he finds funny.
He also isn’t the most assertive person. He can be a bit wishy-washy about things and not wanting to commit to one thing in case it flops. He is scared of being too pushy or that his ideas are stupid. He isn’t necessarily timid or shy, but he is reluctant to speak and finds it difficult to communicate his ideas out loud. He has never done a group project before and doesn’t know how well his voice will be heard. All of the other gods are these great awesome figures and he is here in sweatpants. He knows that they are equal, but can’t help but be intimidated by them. The obvious option is to dress like a god, but if he does that, then he feels like he is betraying his true self. Plus, it probably would feel fake and would not add to his confidence.

Powers they Posses
• Seeker •
He can turn on a radar that allows him to hear and pinpoint the cries of children and animals who are in dangerous/unhealthy situations and need help. It is an overwhelming power that is painful to his ears and it takes meditation to be able to focus on only one voice. If activated for over two hours, his ears will bleed and he needs the rest of the day to recover. It is a heart-sickening power because he knows that he cannot save everyone.
• Settle •
He can calm a terrified, upset, or anxious person by touching them while speaking to them, which often makes them trust him. He uses this ability with the victims he saves, but it can only be used one at a time and emotionally drains him. He cannot use this power on himself.

Hobbies
Owning chickens is more of a lifestyle than a hobby to him, but would technically be placed in this category. He has fallen asleep in the chicken coop before.
Digital art is a passion and he particularly draws his chickens as epic warriors.
Manga is a hobby that often keeps him up at night. He has drawn some himself but doesn’t dare show them to anyone. (It’s a slice-of-life about his chickens)
He journals daily and reads proficiently. He prefers his novels physical and paperback. Hard cover is too heavy. Ebooks don’t smell good, nor do audiobooks.
Gardening is a daily activity that he prefers to do in the cool of a sunset. He doesn’t wake up early enough to do it in the morning.
He messes around in origami but isn’t a master. Cranes are his favorite and he can’t figure out how they make chickens.
Archery is a relaxing activity that he does to calm his mind. His form of meditation.
His legos are his trophies. He has done life-size versions of his birds before.
Minecraft is more of an addiction than a hobby at this point. There are new mods and new updates and he has gotten too attached to his world to quit now.
He enjoys puzzles but is not very good at them. It took him a few years to finish the Rubik’s Cube.
He can knit, but it isn’t his favorite. He only learned so that he could make clothes for his hens.
Greatest Achievement
The day when he went undercover as a mortal and shut down a puppy mill. That afternoon his first clutch hatched and he became a grandfather to six chicks.
Biggest Fear
He is scared of screwing up the world a second time and being a useless god. He isn’t the most impressive and assertive and is scared that the other gods will ignore him and create a world that neglects the innocent.

He used to visit Earth more often but using Seeker kills his heart. The last time he tried to use it, he couldn’t focus and cried because of how loud it was.
