> You'd swear there's some sort of sphere that makes it impossible to make good decisions around her. *-- Theodore Golubac, Politician* The last cleric of a dead religion, Kiri travels the world with her companion, Azta, to restore him to godhood. Quick on her feet and quicker with her wit, she's a firm believer in forfeits being valid wins in tournament settings, opting to exhaust her opponents physically and mentally with an endless string of counters and shenanigans.

### Backstory --- An ancient family of huge nerds, the Chorral household kept records of the old pantheons, from back when their world was a more bog-standard pseudo-medieval fantasy setting; currently, they're fairly well-to-do, using bits of their esoteric magic and divine connections to be conveniently lucky. Their texts and oral histories survived to their version of the mid-aughts, where Kiri's family was very suddenly accosted for being cultists in service of a death god; her parents are currently presumed dead, her sister's fucked off into the aether, and after the proverbial dust had settled, Kiri wound up with the death god that sort of caused the whole ordeal hanging out with her. As Azta's detractors, and Kiri for that matter, would learn, Streisanding obscure gods with a national news cycle in fact increases their influence, and Azta, already practically dead, was given the faintest breath of life, a spark flung onto miserable coal, but a spark nonetheless. Ripped from her comfortable life, Kiri now travels with Azta, spreading rumors about Azta's return, and sometimes even going full-tilt into the cleric shtick now that she's strong enough to not fear repercussions. Finding out what happened to her parents is a side goal, and keeps herself occupied with trying to fully restore Azta's divinity and adrenaline-junkieing it up by hunting down the organization that was bent on wiping all traces of Azta's existence out. (Also, unfortunately for Azta, his form is decided by Kiri, and she's a massive dork that played too many RPGs in high school. She is aware of this, and thinks it's fuckin' hilarious.) ### Personality --- Charming and eccentric, Kiriata typically makes friends easily in her travels, carousing in bars the world over, all the while seeding rumors of the return of a "dread lord," an old god of the end of all things. This dread lord is actually just her buddy Azta, and rumors of his death were definitely exaggerated; he's an old god, sure, but he's a pretty decent dude, and Kiri's family played the role of lorekeepers all the way up until recently, preserving the history of the old pantheon, of which Azta belongs to. Azta's obscurity and misrepresentation has lead to his faith dwindling to Kiri and her sister, so he's on the verge of whatever passes for death for Grand Cosmic Douchebags. Kiri thinks hanging out with a mostly-dead echo of a god is pretty cool, and the ego trip of wearing the pants in the typical cleric-god relationship has definitely resulted in a few episodes of maniacal villain laughter (to play up the bit, she swears). Tempting fate and seeing what she can get away with while rekindling Azta's spark of divinity has lead to shenanigans, hijinks, and definitely a war crime or five. Her sense of morality is both very firm on trying to do the "right" thing, but she's started operating outside of typical human scale. In some ways, Kiri sees Azta as the support she lost with her family, but she's too fast to let the feelings catch up.

### Abilities --- ##### Practical Magic She wasn't as into her family's lore as her sister, and much preferred convenience, party tricks, and pranks. Conjuring basic tools, levitating items around, making sounds or visual illusions, and that kind of generally unassuming thing are what she excels at magically, which is like saying you're a chef that's world-renowned for boiling water. ##### Martial Skill/Combat Experience Kiri's crafty enough to use her party tricks as distractions, red herrings, and to anyone unfamiliar with her reputation, intimidation. Outside of trying to gain the upper hand with dumb tricks, she's very used to fighting in tandem with Azta, her reach with her halberd and his bulk and sheer physical strength making for an obnoxious duo. ##### Divine Intervention As Azta is a being powered by faith, if Kiri feels particularly fervent, she can pull off dumber stunts than usual through him. The power limits are pretty strict, and have to involve his old purview in some way. ### Strengths --- Affable, determined, clever, experienced fighter, good at improvisation and creative problem-solving ### Weaknesses --- Determination and cleverness wind up being pure stubbornness when you're used to being able to figure everything out; brash and brusque, she's the special kind of stupid that knows she's making bad decisions; while a skilled human from a modern fantasy homeworld, she's very much still human. ### Gallery ---

> Not a machine, but certainly a construct! What a fascinating failure of a being! *-- Lens, Machine* A god of cycles, torn from his pantheon and nearly killed because of it, he's been experiencing existence as a mortal, with only the faintest spark of his divinity left. He knows that spark can be reignited, but his priorities have been changing, and he just thinks differently now. The spark fully dying (to his knowledge) would kill him, instead of turning him mundane like other supernatural creatures from his homeworld.

### Backstory --- Long ago, when dragons still flew the skies and prowled the depths, there was a terrible war between the races of man and the very land itself. Dragons, thought to be the will of the land manifest, revolted against man, who had begun using magic in excess. Though it ravaged the world, man triumphed after an impossibly long, thousand-year struggle (or so the tales go), and in the process destroyed most of the dragons. Aztachronopilas was a god of the end of things. End of seasons, of wars, of reigns, of lives. He needed reverence to sustain himself, and unhappy faithful cease being faithful, for various reasons. They're all attached to living, and fear death, so those two aspects were common and easy enough to address. While he couldn't edge out other gods entirely (he'd have to take their roles and he had enough to handle) he could at least make his an easy faith to follow. Unfortunately, eventually his lore warped him into a god of death, and the aforementioned great conflict tore the world where he was worshipped asunder. The rebuilding efforts weren't able to salvage much of the Old Cultures, leaving what little lore was left being intentionally disregarded as the people of the world chose to embrace life and new beginnings. Azta was of course entirely displeased with this turn of events. Part of his domain had initially included rebirth and new beginnings after endings, but having been relegated to a death god, he lost any sort of sway amongst the pantheon he belonged to, and faded into powerless obscurity. His followers dwindled until there was nothing more than a scholarly family left that had uncovered a shred of the Old Cultures, finding an old tablet depicting Azta as his original self. This family has carried this knowledge through several generations, keeping a small shrine secreted away in their manor, making sure to maintain their social status and not be seen as insane cultists. After more expeditions and research, the family came across more ancient documents from the Old Cultures, their line carrying the 'truth' with them through generations afterwards. Eventually, answering a desperate wish from one of his only keepers, he manifested physically, and has absolutely no idea what he's doing as a mortal. ### Personality --- Despite his permanently snarky, grumpy exterior, Azta struggles with his small scope pretty heavily. He describes it like looking at an eclipse through a pinhole. His condescending vibe and intentionally obnoxious speech pattern (a rough approximation of Early Modern English) often wind up being a front for having to process an eternity of tattered memory and newfound mortal emotions destabilizing him mentally at lightspeed. Emotion and doubt and all the other fun mortal experiences are something he feels he'll never adjust to. His memory crumbling away and having to rely on Kiri's family's records to even "prove" he is who he says he is a huge source of anxiety. He finds it difficult to not be honest in conversations, white lies about his emotional state usually pretty obviously false, part of him always compassionate, even if he didn't feel emotion as a deity. As a keeper of fate/time/death/birth/hope/tragedy, he has knowledge beyond mortal understanding, and part of his downfall was because he was a very chill guy. He tried to make sure mortals couldn't even come close to true understanding of his domain, because it would be too much for a life so brief. He worked through his followers to make life something worth celebration and death somber but not something to fear. Unfortunately, other members of his pantheon and the mortals opposed to his followers knew Peace Was Bad For Business, so they set up a string of events to destroy him a la 4D chess and the worst cosmic smear campaign. Kiri is a source of comfort for him, though he can't tell if it's a genuine connection or simply self-preservation.

### Abilities --- ##### Divine Domain Azta's magic pertains to his old purview as a deity, being cycles, broadly. A more concise list is fate, time, death, rebirth, hope, and tragedy, and the powers-what-be of his setting allow for creative usage of magic as long as it's justifiably 'on theme.' Usually this involves a lot of fire, as a simple representation of something transformative and both beneficial and destructive. (Wizards are pretty pretentious in his homeworld.) He also can perform minor "miracles," which typically boils down to remembering he stored something convenient in hammerspace or making something strangely lucky happen. ##### Large Lad His physical form is a direct manifestation of Kiri's imagination, and as such, is mildly malleable. Usually this just translates to becoming taller for intimidation purposes, or when muscle or bulk is needed. ##### Linked Communication Kiri and Azta are linked mentally by their cleric-deity relationship, allowing for communication at the speed of thought, emotion and memory sharing, and location tracking via a sort of mental compass. Azta takes great care to not share too much with Kiri, fully believing that mortals shouldn't experience most of what he understands. ### Strengths --- Built like a brick shithouse, indestructible as long as Kiri keeps faith in him (indestructible does not mean invulnerable) ### Weaknesses --- His magic is limited by having almost no followers, so between that and having to adjust to existing as a mortal, he's awkwardly inept in fights, opting to support Kiri, and the inadequacy feeds his anxiety pretty heavily. Also not used to conversation with people, he prefers Kiri handle social interactions, all of his snark and grump replaced with a clunky nervousness. ### Gallery ---
