Shrine Traits are back, and there's some shiny new deities to go with them! What do you think, guys? ovo Any faves? Any of the descriptions strike you as interesting, or potentially fun to try with one of your own characters? I wanna hear your thoughts! ... And the other staff probably do too. P:

... Okay, so I just want to be told that my son is the most handsome. Sue me.

What in all hells is Xilat'l and how do I get one? Lol

Honestly I still like Ithina a lot. Her markings are pretty and I like her wings. I also like Lexal'lota's transparent wings a lot too, though.

[Meesh]

Dieties? Shrines! Seems I still have a lot to learn!

Reythaniel an' I are gonna be fraaaands~ The markings on Lexol'lata are also drop-dead gorgeous, and that's one I can see having some fun clashes with my characters. I don't have a lot that go in for the whole unrelenting worldview, so it's super fun to see them interact with those that do! ouo

And more generally, the updated demigods are really nice to see! I know there's a lot of people that want to get their hands on shiny Shrine traits, so it's super great to see them iterated in a way that's going to make people happy without being terribly mod-dependent. I almost wish it was more of a 25-post requirement, or an 'every 5 posts increases the chance of getting the trait' kind of deal - but that might just be me overestimating the effectiveness/desired accessibility of shrine traits. Regardless, I'm pretty darn excited to go on all the epic skill quests (as soon as I have a character with the means to do so).

Sadly Xil and Selkat'aris are the only of their kind. XD I doubt Baal has their PSDs. They were from way back during the first war, when the deities first came about.

That aside, Lanatus probably has my fav markings of the new ones, but hnnng. Lex's blue eyes staring and judging you. It was really fun to see the new staff members develop ideas for their deities and figure out what they wanted to do with them. Thinking back on it, I should probably go through and note who RPs each of them at some point.

Yeah, not all of these guys are new. XD Selkat'aris and Xilat'l were part of the old Temple, along with the three retired deities.

Ngl, Reythaniel really makes me think of the Persona games, especially with the new literal masks being showcased for P5. All the mask motifs and "true self" stuff. Reeeeally looking forward to trying one of her challenges.

Lex and Rey are my personal deities and I can't wait to get them to interact with you guys (specifically for Lexol to break some people Imeanwat)!
Lex's world view is that the world is black and white, with no grey and that's visually depicted in his markings. And his judge-y stare was a really quick last minute addition, since he originally had black/white wings. Though, he actually was supposed to have no wings but it looked a little weird.

Rey on the other hand was originally a Seraphim under Yepha before she 'ascended' and she's more of a dork whose spent time amongst humans and likes to chat. So she's the type of loser to ask you how your day went, rather than cutting to the chase like some other deities might. Her entire concept (and color scheme) was heavily influenced by Yepha herself.

I think anyone who knows me can guess which deity is mine ;U Hint: it's the bird. I actually was inspired to make him by the character I originally assigned this Soveris I own.

I kinda want to redraw his belly liquid stuff since I think it could look better, tbh xD;

[jobiehanna]

Wow, I am so not observant - I didn't realize there were more deities along with the availability of Shrine traits. Whoops.

Gotta say, Kyros is pretty awesome. So fierce. That belly thing is really cool - how he gives a drop to the worthy.

And Lanatus is so pretty, ahh. <3 His story of perseverance in charting the sky and everything - I just love this guy.

Reythaniel is such a cutie too. The inner eye and whatnot. Love.
