Dellen

[oi_theoi]

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.

Learning is a part of the excitement, isn't it? What are your priests like?

Re: Day 20: Afternoon

[oi_theoi]

My priests, they are the most responsible and respectable of all of my children. They must live for others, they must never harm another human, unless in defense of themselves or another, they cannot ever turn someone in need away, and must always place others above themselves. I expect them to love all, but to only love one other intimately. In short, they exhibit what I consider a most virtuous lifestyle.

[the_sabra_inquisition]

[laughs a little] Do you know that doesn't sound very different from how I ended my days in my home world?

Re: Day 20: Afternoon

[oi_theoi]

Would you like to become my priestess, then?

Re: Day 20: Afternoon

[the_sabra_inquisition]

Would I? I think I'd enjoy it quite a lot.

Re: Day 20: Afternoon

[oi_theoi]

[takes your hands]

Then, Wonderella, will you live for the sake of humans, and always act to the utmost in respectability and reliability for their sake, and in my name?

Re: Day 20: Afternoon

[the_sabra_inquisition]

It will be my honor, Lady Dellen.

Re: Day 20: Afternoon

[oi_theoi]

[kisses your forehead]

Hereafter you will be known as a Child of Dellen. In exchange for your services, you have the option of a selection of my powers.

[and the del explained all the stuff above]

Re: Day 20: Afternoon

[the_sabra_inquisition]

[and Wonderella dumped everything into healing]

Is there anything else I should know?

Re: Day 20: Afternoon

[oi_theoi]

Just this.

[handing you a necklace with a simple chain and a glass water droplet charm]

With this you will be able to reach me anywhere, and you may accept sacrifices in my name.

Re: Day 20: Afternoon

[the_sabra_inquisition]

[:O takes the necklace, examining the glass curiously]

Is there any particular ritual for accepting a sacrifice?

Re: Day 20: Afternoon

[oi_theoi]

A few droplets of water and say you accept it in my name is enough. You will find that you have quite the affinity for water now, so keeping some on hand should not be difficult.
