Pantheon AU part II

Appearances

The Gods appear as winged humanoids. Their features are usually hidden by Death Masks when they communicate with humans so that the human does not go mad. Those who have managed to catch a glimpse say that there’s nothing obviously wrong with their faces, but instinctually, we know something is off. They look like us, but they aren’t us. Some might call this the “Uncanny Valley”. It could be that while we are looking upon them, our brain thinks that we are viewing a corpse. The superstition surrounding it doesn’t help either. Humans who have had visions of a God’s face usually face some kind of misfortune. They often report having feelings of paranoia, dread, and insomnia.

If you or a loved one are having visions of faces you have never seen before and experience any of the listed symptoms, please contact your local priest/temple representative.

Pantheon AU

I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for a while. I guess I better write it down before I forget.

Theologists have been studying an ancient religion with the only evidence of its existence being in old ruins across Europe. Recently, as of 2003, the religion has gained a following once more and has spread worldwide with the rise of the internet. This new development has also caused followers to begin to merge their beliefs with another long death faith with origins in Japan. The name of the religion as well as those of its Gods have been forgotten with time, so researchers have the Gods nicknames to keep track of them. They are listed as follows:

L - God of Justice, Intuition, and Empirical Reasoning. He is assumed to be the religion’s primary God, presuming over the others. Followers of L believe that societal reform must be humanity’s choice, and it cannot be forced by divine intervention. They also believe that humans have a right to choose whether to be good or evil, but even if individuals commit evil in this world, the good will always prevail.

Kira - God of Death, Justice, and Retribution. He has amassed a large following in recent years due to the youth’s frustration with the ever present corruption in the justice system. They believe the only way to reform society is through divine intervention, and that Kira is their savior who will cut away the evil in society and leave a clean slate for the rest of humanity to build on. His cult is called the Temple of Kira. There are two distinct sects of the Temple, and their beliefs are as follows:

1. Kira is the one true God and all other Gods are false pretenders.

2. The other Gods are real and each have a role to play in the pantheon, but they are not to be worshiped above Kira.

Misa - Goddess of Love and Devotion. She was formerly the Goddess of the Arts and had her own cult following before she was incorporated into the Temple of Kira. Although followers hold her in less authority than Kira, she is still a formidable deity and not to be trifled with. It is said that she made a deal with a Shinigami to be able to see the name and lifespan of any human on Earth. Like Kira, she is also said to be able to enact divine retribution on humans who commit evil acts.

And last but not least: Every Pantheon needs its seasons.

Near - God of Winter, Objectivity, and Solitude.

Mello - God of Summer, Wrath, and Youth

Matt - God of Fall, The Harvest, and Hedonism

Echo (oc) - Goddess of Spring, Growth, and Introspection

All four together represent the cycle of death and rebirth.

On Kira and L

As the two conflicting religions clash, both online and offline, there are some who have begun to incorporate elements of both faiths into their belief system. Some followers even believe that L and Kira might be two faces of the same God. The one connecting thread among the collective tales seems to be that L and Kira are locked in an eternal battle. The “Justice of Law” versus the “Justice of Wrath”. They are often depicted chained together, representing how they are connected by fate.

The Shinigami

The Shinigami or “Gods of Death” are a separate entity from the Pantheon. They aren’t worshiped as Gods but they have just as much of an impact of human lives considering they are tasked with ending them. They operate by their own rules and don’t interfere with the Gods’ duties, and the Gods are not to interfere with them either. Since they live in different realms, it’s rare that they interact at all. However, there are a few Shinigami that are mentioned in religious texts including but not limited to: Ryuk, Rem, Gelus, and Sidoh.

Background

When she was 2, the Shinigami King added the rule that a human under 780 days old will not be effected by the Death Note. Coincidentally, her name had just been written down, which caused a paradox. She went into cardiac arrest but survived. However, since the incident, her heart has been weak. The paradox seems to have caused a “glitch in the matrix”. She is now immune from the Death Note and her lifespan cannot be seen with the Shinigami eyes.

She grew up at The Wammy’s House, but her parents are still alive. They were not in good health nor in a good economic situation so they could no longer take care of her. They were forced to give up custody and Roger ended up taking her in because she was considered an especially gifted child. Unfortunately, in order to keep them safe, she cannot visit them often.

Songs I associate with her:
