Dellen [de-len]
Water, Glass, Human Protection, Human Creation

❧ Played by Aviy

Appearance: Female and human, roughly in her 40's and too thin. She has pale skin and hair, but the coloring is just a little inhuman. The main color to her is a pair of incredibly deep blue eyes. She wears loose, off-white, Grecian-style clothing that makes her look both paler and smaller than she is. Her hair is often in disarray, and her overall appearance often appears untended.
Despite looking small, underfed, and wafty, when Dellen isn't having an episode, she has a very commanding and warm presence. There is, at all times, a surprising 'weight' about her that marks her unmistakably as divine.

Characteristics: Nurturing, monogamous, lesbian, obsessive, demanding, needy, devoted, nonfatal self sacrifice, yandere.

Likes: Faithful loving monogamous relationships, being understanding of her, sacrifice for the betterment of others, expressions of love (even twisted ones).

Dislikes: Death (human only), poly/orgies/unfaithfulness, material selfishness, rejection, lack of understanding, talking badly about humans, nature.

Shrine: Pale sandstone slab at ground level, behind it is a stack of precarious sandstone making a narrow pillar. On top of the pillar is a large bowl (but with cracks instead of bubbles) filled with crystal clear water.

Ritual: Stand on the slab and place your (CLEAN) hands in the bowl to get her attention. Once the agreement is made, place your sacrifice on the slab and sprinkle some water from the bowl onto it.

The first I know as well, though my knowledge of the other groups is far from complete.

If you will excuse me.

[Turns, squeezing Nova's shoulder as he moves over to Eizon's shrine.]

Take care of things here. I will not be long.

[He's pretty tense and hunches his shoulders a little with the squeeze]

Aa . . . I've got it handled.

[8'(]

If there are others, as I think there must be, I will make the fluid you need a tax. I will ask more for conveniences that everyone desires, but I can be sure that no one who is afflicted like this will lack what they need.

[nods]

That . . . We can all deal with that. No one will argue against a tax to help people in this situation. No one who isn't completely insane.

I think so as well.

[brushes their hair back a bit]

That book that he brought them here in. Can it keep them safe? Is it a time stopper?

. . . I don't think so. It should keep them safe from harm, but if it could hold them in stasis then he wouldn't need to talk to Eizon.

[nod]

I think even if it could, that might be dangerous. There is a chance they will wake up on their own, but if the body can't... act upon itself, they may not be able to.

We were never planning on leaving them in the books anyway. It was only to bring them here.

All right. Thank you for looking after them, Nova.
