I have a question for the other gods here.

Well, two questions, really.

First - do you prefer to introduce yourself by your given name or your god name?

And second - was anyone else called here to fill in for a god of the opposite gender? I'm having trouble deciding whether I should be calling myself the god or goddess of beauty and wealth.

People often mistake me for a girl to begin with, so it wouldn't be that out of the ordinary for me to call myself a goddess. I suppose either way is confusing in certain regards.

[connivingbird]

it can go either way for me
it's not like i am partial to any one form but my own

[clothes_make_the_man]

I imagine it's the same for most people. But then again, I don't have any form but this one to begin with.

[connivingbird]

most humans are like that i've found

[clothes_make_the_man]

Does that mean you're not human?

[connivingbird]

that's right

[clothes_make_the_man]

Oh. Well, that's interesting. I know a few non-humans in my world as well.

[He's trying to be polite, but it's awkward.]

[connivingbird]

i suppose it probably is for you humans

[clothes_make_the_man]

What is your race like, if you don't mind a little idle curiosity? Do you transform into a fighting form?

[connivingbird]

we were created from alchemy and human desires each one of us shaped after an element and animal group
water and sea life
gravity and land animals
lighting and insects
wind and cats
fire and birds
we were made to devour life, to always be hungry and greedy for whatever we can never have

[The next reply is somewhat delayed as Forrest contemplates whether it's entirely safe to continue associating with Ankh after a description like that.]

That's... terrible. Who would be so cruel as to create something that lives in constant torment and can never be truly whole?

[connivingbird]

Oh he's safe, though he isn't the nicest person to know. He isn't as blind as the rest of the Greeed are, even before he ended up being reduced to an arm for the better part of a year.]

a power-hungry king that wished to tap into the potential of desires

it is cruel

[clothes_make_the_man]

[Well.

That hits uncomfortably close to home.

All Forrest can think of right now is King Garon.]

I'm so sorry.

[connivingbird]

he got what he deserved
we all did in the end
but at least now.....

I'm content with how it turned out

[clothes_make_the_man]

I'm happy to hear that. Power hungry kings can cause a lot of trouble.

[connivingbird]

he wanted to harness the power of greed
he just didn't understand what that really meant

[clothes_make_the_man]

People seldom do.
