Dellen

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.

[=x =x =x!]

You hardly need an excuse, but I do not mind. Are you sure you know all it entails, or shall I go over it?

Maybe if you could go over the finer details just so I don't muck things up. I read what was available in the directory, but hey this is the first time I've gotten to serve a higher power that actual comes down to mingle with the little folk.

I have heard in other world that it is not common. That sounds very strange to me. It is true that, when the world was... more populated, it was rare I would speak to someone more than once in their lifetime. But... everyone should be able to speak to those they are expected to believe in.

Now, as for my requirements. The most important task is that you never turn away from helping a human. If you must give them your food or your bed, so be it. You must never take a human life unless it is directly in protection of another life. You must also do your best to love all, but intimately, you may love only one. I have to point out that among my newest Children, that last seems to be the rule they find most difficult to mind.

[Holds up his left hand where there is a silver ring on his ring finger]

I've got the last part down already provided that I ever find her again.

But yeah, yeah. I think those are rules I can abide by. [And stretch a little if need be]

[Del is a pretty cute mom herself. And Lavi hasn't had a mom in like... forever]

[So surely sneaking in a hug is okay, right?]

[Pulls back with a laugh]

So is there a ceremony or waving of your magic wand to make this all happen?

Re: Day 101, Early Afternoon

[personal profile] aquamama 2012-12-30 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
I have little ceremony now. But I do give you this.

[glass waterdroplet necklace on a silver chain]

And ask you what powers you would have of me.

[Takes the chain and slips it over his head, hiding it underneath his scarf]

Offensive mostly, with a little bit of healing. Yanno what they say, the best defense is a good offense.

[personal profile] aquamama 2012-12-30 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
[two points in offense and one in healing for Lavi!]

Then, it is done. Do you know the others who are my Children? I bet you do. You're very observant.

I know Allen the Skittish is one of your priests. Not sure about the others.

Maybe you could give me some hints?

One is also rather skittish, and has long beautiful hair. Another used to be a god herself. And the last. Hm... he has quite a noble air about him.

The second one is definitely Wonderella. Long hair, long hair... hmmm, I have a few ideas. But [laughs] the last bit is kind of vague, yeah.

I'm sure I'll run into them soon enough.
