matthias, god of beauty and wealth

matthias, informally referred to as matt by other gods [ he smites any humans that call him that ], is the god of beauty and wealth.

he'll tell his origin story to those that ask since he'll never pass up the chance to talk about himself. he was a prince from england that was kidnapped from his home, killed before anyone got a chance to find him. a higher goddess admired him for his looks and gave him godly powers to both get revenge on those that killed him and keep his beauty forever.

some mortals, and even other gods, rumor that he had a lover when he was mortal whom he lost during his kidnapping, one who he used to search the underworld for every day. matthias hasn't denied nor confirmed this, but gets upset if anyone mentions it.

offerings to matthias must always consist of only the best of fresh foods, fruits, treasures, and jewelry. if a mortal doesn't worship him, give him any offerings, or hasn't said a single thing about his greatness? they basically don't exist to him. he won't ever hesitate to sap any rich person of their wealth, same with attractive people and their beauty, if they ever disrespect his name in any way.

eddicus, god of creativity.

eddicus, listen i couldn't find anything on google cut me some slack, called edd by only the other main four gods of this au, is the god of creativity.

his origin is much less gruesome than the others so far. it was after he passed away due to a sickness that was spreading around his home village. he was an artist who made a lot of drawings and carvings of himself if he were an all powerful god. his family gave them away, all who received them passing it off as just a fantasy until a piece actually came to the god. said god was probably merciful, or just feeling bored that day, but they went out of their way to find eddicus's soul in the underworld and grant him the powers he wanted in life. good for him.

he appreciates humans, never truly forgetting that he was once one of them. he often disguises himself as a mortal to go to art galleries and admire the creations. sometimes, he'll covertly make friends with some and grant them some of his power to be able to see what they make and get gifts from them!

this doesn't mean he doesn't have fun, as much as he's friendly to mortals he always finds it hilarious to mess with them. when he's in need of an extra hard laugh? he'll sap the creativity from someone and force them into an art block, giggling away as he watches them lose their marbles. he'll give them their motivation back of course, he's not cruel, but he does it often for shits and giggles.

thomas, god of nature and monsters.

thomas, yes that's a proper name i looked it up, called tom by usually anyone, is the god of nature and monsters.

his origin is the only one that didn't happen because of his death. in his mortal life, thomas always had a passion for caring for nature. he tended to farms and crops better than anyone else in his village, and sometimes invited wildlife into his home to care for them and give them a place to stay during extreme weather. a higher god noticed this, how thomas would even go out into the forest with offerings for monsters, and granted him power over them.

thomas used his newfound power to get even closer to nature before he actually began doing important god things. he even created his own species of monsters, their purple toned horns and skin and voided eyes not unlike thomas's own. he cares for them like he would his own pets, always making sure that humans stay far away from their environments. his monsters are always docile unless provoked, and he even sends them to protect villages if he feels like it.

when he actually started doing important things, he was appointed overseer of crops. thomas often disguised himself as a mortal and went around, village to village, handing out crops during bad farming seasons and giving advice on how to grow better during proper seasons. otherwise he leaves humans to their own devices, so long as they don't hurt wild animals or his monsters he doesn't pay them any mind.

thorkid, god of bravery, war, and bloodshed.

thorkid, informally referred to as tord by those he allows, is primarily known as the god of war. he is also the god of bravery and bloodshed; soldiers, gladiators, and citizens alike inspired by him and his fighting spirit.

his origin story is unknown, though many have different theories. some say he was executed for war crimes and the higher gods saw potential in him, some say he died in battle and his passion for war called to the gods to replace his lost blood with ichor and grant him his immense power. regardless, thorkid is both feared and respected.

feared by those who commit injustices in battle and abuse their power, those who prey on the weak. the few who've survived thorkid's wrath have said that their vision became misty, thorkid's gleaming golden helmet and spear crystal clear through the fog. their strength was sapped from them until they couldn't hold themself up, the fog surrounding them weighing on their lungs until they couldn't take more than shallow breaths.

respected by soldiers who claim to have seen him in the distance, him being just close enough to the battlefield for them to see his proud smirk. some even say that they've fought side by side with him against their opponents. the surviving gladiators who claim to have seen him in the seats of the coliseum, his eyes trained on them as he watched them fight. his very presence gave them a passion to hang on and fight tooth and nail to survive.

thorkid himself sees humans as nothing more than playthings for his amusement. hell, the only reason he punishes some is because it's something for him to do. seems he's forgotten his humanity.

he enjoys watching them and their needless fights, over other humans or territory or possessions. it's pathetic to him; the way they waste their limited energy and time fighting.

but by gods, does it fuel him.

watching their battles, all the victories and surrenders and blood and tears shed and souls sent to the underworld. sometimes even joining whatever side he favors, just to get the adrenaline rush and the blood spattered all over himself. cleaning and shining his spear after a war gives him a sense of triumph.

and there's no pic of them since they're an insert, but reader is the deity of wrath and punishment!

after the original fic, which would serve as their origin story, people hear about them and start building temples and giving them offerings.

mortals that feel that they've been wronged would send offerings to reader so that reader can make their offenders pay. by either fucking up their life or just killing them.

and if reader chooses to kill them, to run salt in the wound, the person's soul will be sent to the underworld to be tortured endlessly for all eternity. so.. endlessly rubbing salt into all of their wounds.
