"Some more Chromatica stuff! Here are all six of the gods, which each preside over (and can’t leave) their own zones. In, well, rainbow order, we have Mania, Agape, Stroge, Pragma, Ludus, and Eros. Their elemental affinities are pretty apparent!
For some background, these guys weren’t always gods. Initially, they were acolytes for an eldrich-horror-y monstrosity, who had created humans for amusement. Considering that this previous god really didn’t give a hoot about humanity and treated them like people might treat Sims (”Ooh, how long will one of them last if I lock them in a room without food or water?”), people… Weren’t happy. The six acolytes, tired of seeing their friends tortured and murdered for the god’s amusement, killed it and took its symbols – the source of its power – for themselves. These symbols, as long as they’re attached, give them different elemental powers, extreme longevity, immortality, and also make them glow really bright colors. This was fine and dandy for a bit, but humans aren’t really built to handle that much power, so these gods are a bit, uh, unstable from time to time.
I’m having a lot of fun with the world-building for this universe, even if I’m not sure what I’m gonna end up doing with it. But hey, what’s fun is fun, even if it doesn’t have a point, right? I’d like to make a map of the various zones (they’re all based on colors, of course) at some point, too, so we’ll see how that goes!"
