The Beginning

The first to spawn was Foolish. He opened his eyes to ones and zeros and….hands? They rearrange a few 1s and 0s and 1s and 1s and he closes his eyes from so much input and opens them to a world. His world, a voice supplies, unknown and new. He began to search, coming across simple houses, simple people, who must have joined when he did, or not too long after. They are your people, our creations. The voice was binary, code and in feeling. It spoke only truth, and he knew innately not to doubt it. The voice was constant in the early times, teaching him more about himself, his purpose, his abilities. He was the God of Everything, it told him, all that he could see was his to impact and create and monitor. He was everywhere, and it was exhausting.

He was there with new births, at weddings, at funerals, at home and at sea. He could do everything, and it became too much. He asked the voice for help, for guidance like it gave him early on. You can do it, it said, You have the power. For a long time he thought it meant he could push through, could manage, could overcome such an increasingly daunting obstacle. But one day, as he continued to spiral closer and closer to insanity, he saw the code shift into words once again. You have the power to change. You have the power to lessen your load. He saw the coding solidify back into the world he knew, and he looked over all his realms. Maybe, maybe he could share this with someone. Maybe he could find someone who was passionate like him, and he could give them the power to change the world too. First thing to get off his plate? The End.

It was alien and expansive and complicated and such a hassle to manage travel and travelers. So he searched for a leader, someone with strong morals and strong beliefs and stepping up to fill his gaps. After exploring islands and ships, he heard of an ender being from the dragon. The dragon bragged and flaunted their latest finding, a person who loved their home and was organizing, developing modes of travel and trade unlike any other. Foolish asked to see them and the dragon cautiously agreed. Foolish met this ender being under the guise of a simple traveler, and once he was introduced to their ideas, he decided.

“Do you wish to have the power to instate this across your realm, to guide others as you have guided me?” The end being made eye contact with him for the first time in the hours they talked.

“More than anything.” Xeir voice distorts slightly as xey make the effort to stay calm and controlled, xeir passion and stubbornness shining through.

Foolish grins, showing off rows of sharp teeth. “I was hoping you’d say that.”

Dream SMP- Gods and Mythos pt 1

Mythology go brrrr

TLDR: Foolish is the slightly frazzled god of life, Kristen (philza’s wife) is the goddess of death who aims for impartial but tends to get Attached, The Blood God is the nonconforming deity of animals “monsters” and hybrids, DreamXD is the god of mischief and trickery, and the Ender Lord is very community focused and sticks to xeir own.

TW: frank talk of death, religion kinda?

Foolish was a man of reciprocity. How you treat him he’ll treat you. He would create beautiful structures and watch them joyously as they become overgrown and rot. His pride and joy was creating people, who could think and create and destroy just as he did! When fed up with his creations, though, he was Life-in Death, not quite dead but wishing you were. He was ruthless and a bit unhinged at times, and despite his efforts he could neglect some of his charges in favor of creating more. He loved his creations and spent much time among them, hoping to teach them that he was not that far above them. His followers revered him for good fortune, longer and happier lives, and to appease his temperamental anger.

Kristen was the goddess of Death, and quite enjoyed her job. She was a mercy to those who left at old age, a comfort to those wracked with pain, a burden to many and a threat to evil. She was a business-woman who did her best to be impartial, but there are those who escaped her or abused her that leave her bitter. She makes sure their deaths are befitting of the pain they wrought on others. She once spent time with the living, but eons of losing loved ones is draining so she wouldn’t reveal herself for a century or two on a break. Those who worship her for their own gain pray for the painful death of enemies, try to call on her to unleash her wrath. Her favorites are those who pray to embody her mercy, those who have made peace with their end and lived a full life, and those who aren’t afraid to talk to her.

The Blood God had no name beyond their title, and if they did no one spoke it out of fear. Deity of animals and those named monsters, he was a god of strange dynamics, danger and adrenaline inducing moments. They had no care for the rules and expectations of Foolish's creations. They existed on their own terms, and your status didn’t matter if you could not personally defend it. He was revered by players for strength and prowess in battle, by mobs for freedom and survival, by hybrids for an unapologetic existence.

DreamXD is god everyone knows of but never sees. This is not to say he doesn’t interact with the world. In fact, the situation is quite the opposite. He spends most of his time among the living, impersonating higher ups to bring down their reputation, spreading rumors and forcing his agenda in subtle ways. He is lighthearted pranks and cruel rules, seeking freedom of his expression and those who work in his interest. His contradiction is his power, and he has rules for others but never himself. His following consists of thieves, con-artists, story tellers and politicians, who all play for his aid in their schemes and persuasiveness.

The Ender Lord had his own realm, given to xem by Foolish that he didn’t really want to deal with. The Ender Lord was very active in xeir realm but tended to stay with xeir own. A bit elitist and bitter about being outcast, xey spend their time in relative solitude from the other gods, but adored xeir people. Xeir society was fairly structured and advanced, and many despised the blind hatred of the overworld. Xey are the Supreme Head of the Community, and commune with their followers regularly. Worshiped almost exclusively by those native to the end, xeir followers revered xem for safety in numbers, for comfort and for safe and swift travel.
