The Chromatica Gods

"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!"

"Defeat"

"As in “de-feet” if you know what I mean

Y’know since he lost his foot

Anyway, have some characters from another project of mine: Chromatica! I don’t think I’ve posted anything relating to it so far. The gist of it is that the world is ruled over by six gods, who are all associated with different elements (and glow different colors, because I like the idea of having beings of ultimate power also be human glow-sticks). The gods have symbols on their bodies that give them their power, and they’re pretty much immortal – unless their symbol is removed from them, that is. Storge, shown above, used to have his symbol on his foot… And, uh, now he doesn’t anymore. His captain, Anthony, isn’t happy about that."

"Unhealthy Affection"

"It's supposed to be a two-way street.

Anthony is Storge's strongest and most-trusted knight. As you might expect, they're in good standing with one another, but Anthony has a bit of an interesting view of their relationship (and an extreme inferiority complex), putting his responsibility to keep Storge safe before his own health and well-being, regardless of what Storge actually wants."

This was the first real thing I put out there about Chromatica! It changed a lot over the course of its existence, and in all honesty I'm still not sure what to do with it. But hey, here it is! There'll be more on it later.
