What is this?

Deus Nine is one of the first "big" projects of mine. If you've seen any of my stuff- you've seen my little guys around. Y'know, the red/blue god fellas.
Here you'll find art, animations, and content about my little pantheon of gods who just... can't stop killing eachother. Of course, with themes of death, grief, and self destruction.

Summary

Deus Nine, at its core, is a story about losing yourself to greed and selfishness, breaking away from those who hurt you despite still loving them, and all the things someone is driven to do when paralyzed by fear. If god’s are not immortal, then how and when do they die? If they can kill each other- what happens when there inevitably, is a runt of the litter? Will the weak be stomped out by the strong? How easily can one be replaced? Is anyone ever truly able to act exactly like another person? To what degree are our circumstances to blame, and how much of it is our fault?

The story follows our main lead, Andre, View in "Characters" tab. the eighth god of blood, as he struggles against his ever-growing fear of being killed by his fellow gods in the pantheon. With tensions rising, and him feeling weaker by the day, he finds a creative, unconventional, and very risky way to get stronger, extremely fast. However, unbeknownst to him, it comes at a cost. The first water god, still alive to this day, is really not doing well watching all the ones he loves die. When Andre goes, and is replaced by the ninth blood god… Will he perish all over again? Just like always? … Or is something different this time? Either way, he's frighteningly close to his breaking point.

    " Oh, rel~ax, you're overreacting! Just listen to what I'm telling you, and everything will be fine, okay? "
    Andre Sang, the 8th god of Blood, is quite the conniving force to be reckoned with. What he doesn't have in strength, he makes up for with manipulation, schemes and the ever perfected art of ass kissing some, and irritating others. The vast majority of his fellow gods on the pantheon want nothing to do with him. He's seen often by them, as a petulant, bothersome child who wont stay out of everyone else's business. While they all know he isn't at the top of the hierarchy, including himself, only one of them seems to realize how low he really is on this food chain. Andre, fundamentally, is a deeply selfish person. He does whatever he needs to get whatever he wants. With no regard for the consequences or how it may affect others. Cripplingly fearful about his ability to hold his own on the pantheon, he feeds off other people in order to gain protection, offerings, or an opportunity to strike. Yet it seems there's an emotional aspect to it as well. Sure, he can manipulate in order to gain tangible, quantifiable items, goods, and power- but he can also get praise, adoration, worship, and most appealing of all... complete and utter devotion, with no questions asked. For a man who insists his potential is untapped, his ideas are genius, and his leadership would be best- what a drug that is.

    If nothing else, Andre is a charismatic, shockingly childish, grandiose, two-faced, selfish prick- that somehow brute forces his way into safety and success. To him, "no" is simply an inconvenience towards the path of forcing a "yes." And with that face and tone? Who are you to deny him? His relationships remain strained, or nonexistent. He harbors no real relationships with his fellow gods on the pantheon, except for two. One of which he has wrapped around his finger, desperately begging for protection, help, and excuses that let him scheme away scot-free. And another, which dreams of seeing him pummeled into an unidentifiable sack of meat pulp. Unwisely, he seems to enjoy pushing his luck with these two. Asking for more and more, poking the bear again and again, like a game of chicken. Testing the limits, to see just how far he can push before something happens. The red underline on the bottom of his eyes is not makeup, it's natural skin discoloration.
    His skin looks like it barely has any blood flowing through it. He resembles that of a porcelain doll.
    His skin is ice cold.
    He's built quite unnaturally. Almost resembling a cartoon. His upper body is so toned and muscular, that it's not only evident he's actively trying to show off, but it's juuust "off" looking enough, that it doesn't seem like a normal person would ever be able to achieve such a form.

    Purpose of the index

    Deus Nine is a story with a lot of worldbuilding, certain magic mechanics, and all that jazz. There, inevitably, will be points where I refer to concepts or names of things that may not already be understood or expanded upon. The index serves as a simple guide to all the fancy phrases I'll be tossing around, that are specific to this story only.

    And if you happen to get overly curious about one particular concept, now you get some more info about it.

    the grand design

    The gods of earth were born to one, all powerful God- The Overseer, mother of the universe. They were born not as all powerful gods- but as mortal in nature. The Overseer rests in the sky, slumbering above her creations as she waits for them to prove they are worthy of the task they've been assigned. To protect the earths hearts they are connected to.

    The God’s of one particular heart, are like a family lineage of sorts. They are created in a particular manner, with a certain image, a certain air about them. As they get replaced and reborn, they all show a certain resemblance to one another. Their traits vary slightly from God to God. Some traits are worthy to stay through the rebirthing, others that have caused their downfall, have been abandoned. The Overseer's final goal, is to reach a perfect being such as herself, to watch over earth, so she can spend her time with other creations. Without fear of earth perishing. Not through force, but through trial and error. What the god’s fear is the unknown, that they too, perhaps, are not the final draft. That there is someone else waiting in line to replace them the moment they slip up. How many drafts will it take for each of them to reach their final iteration?

    The hearts

    Heart of
    Blood
    Heart of
    Water
    Heart of
    Earth
    Heart of
    Life
    Heart of
    Light
    Heart of
    Fire
    Heart of
    Ice

    The earth is not an inorganic floating rock in space. It is a living organism. Should the earths various hearts be tainted or scathed in any way, the delicate balance of elements will be thrown off. Unruly oceans akin to pains in the stomach, dead flora, like shedding skin, earthquakes reminiscent of full body coughs and shudders... The gods function as earths immune system, keeping everything in balance, and fighting off whatever problems may occur. Should a God fail to protect and nurture the heart they are birthed from, they will return to the elements and a new contender will take their place.

    Each heart is connected to a single element. There are 7 total hearts scattered across the earth, firmly rooted into the ground- or wherever it is they reside- to prevent it from ever being moved. The oceans heart is at the deepest part of the ocean, the earths heart is atop the highest mountain, etc. The hearts can't typically be seen by anyone other than the gods, despite physically being there. A human, animal, or bug, will merely see a giant, odd shaped rock. Unless they have some kind of godly blood, or have temporarily been gifted the ability to see beyond the mortal comprehension, they will not see what is actually in front of them. Should anything come in physical contact with the heart, other than the assigned god- it sustains damage of varying amounts.

    The pantheon

    The pantheon of gods were created for one purpose, and one purpose alone; to protect the hearts [3] Earths Organs they've been connected to. They have only been given the abilites of "gods," so far as it helps them protect the living being their creator actually deems to be valuble. Though ruling over some land and "playing" with some humans [2] Patron Humans
    [4] God's Interference     is deemed acceptable for now.

    Each one of them has a heart of their own to look after. The heart itself is an organ for the earth, and the god in question, is physically tied to it. Despite their chest beating, its the thumping outside of their bodies they really need to worry about. If they fail to protect it, give it offerings, and keep it alive- or allow it to be scratched or worse, stabbed or torn... they are no longer around. A new replacement will form shortly afterwards from within the heart itsef, before unceremoniously spitting them out into the world. Each new god thats born bears resemblance to their ancestors one way or another. Whether it's startling red eyes, flaming hair, or a red hot hatred that can't be put out... Regardless of what it is, like a clay statue being melted down and resculpted, a resemblance is always present.

    Their dearest mother [1] The Overseer cant have her most precious creation die because her lesser ones keep getting into fights, or deciding to have a few too many ideas of their own. However, she expected this. They are, imperfect- it's simply within their nature to be rough around the edges... So, she gave them the cursed gift of conditional mortality. [5] Godly Mortality
    Until one appears that seems fully polished, they'll simply keep perishing until one of them fits the mold. All but one have a decent amount of reforms, and seem more stable than their ancestors. The end goal of being able to coexist, peacefully tending to their duties- without the constant bloodshed, in theory, is closer and closer to being acheived with the more iterations of them that form. The more of them that die. Though truthfully, a lot of them have their doubts about ever being able to coexist without fighting.

    [1] Overseer
    Mother of the gods

    The “real” god of the world, who made all of the other Gods that roam on earth. They take the form of a woman and are referred to by the other Gods as “mother” since, technically speaking, they are her children. She is in a deep slumber above the sky, and for every god that dies, she must wake up and make the hearts create another one. She sees her children as experiments, trial and error. They will keep perishing until she gets one that can survive.

    [2] Patron humans
    The God’s favorite people

    Patron humans are exceptional humans that have somehow earned the favor or respect of the gods. They have been deemed as a “God’s favorite” of some sort. Depending on the god, they will either send gifts and ensure their family's survival, or they will ask favors from them for rewards no human would ever be able to obtain.

    [3] Earths Organs
    All is alive

    The earth is not a ball of dirt, rocks and water where living creatures reside. The earth itself, the ball in space- is alive. There are numerous organs ontop of its crust, and the living beings on it function as its immune system. Weather paterns are bodily functions, etc.

    [4] God's Interference
    Rules and regulations

    The god's are only able to interfere with human life to a certain extent, without being punished by their mother. Revealing ones godly status to the people is a hard no. If they happen to interpret that there is a god in the sky simply due to the effects of upkeeping them, [6] Gods Maintaining Humans then so be it- but direct contact can not be made. The only means in which you can leave the secluded, hidden, godly areas where the partially immortal are safe from the human eye- is if you masquerade as a human being. Hide ones auros [0] Other Definitions for good measure, mask all traits that can be seen as godly, or inhuman (colored hair, brightly colored features such as eyes, etc.) and do not speak in godly tongues in any humans presence. The god's may speak to the humans in their own language, simply conversing, trading or guiding, as well as assisting only in ways another human could.

    [5] Godly Mortality
    When the immortals fall

    The gods are only immortal, so far as their bodies do not naturally age. They are spat out already grown, and their bodies do not change the way an aging persons would. They may grow different overtime, as power fluctuates, but never weaker or worn down.
    However, their bodies are not immune to damage, resistant, yes.

    They can still be harmed or killed by . . .
    • Other gods in the pantheon attacking them (their physical body.)
    • Their heart being damaged or scuffed in any concievable way by themselves, another god, or a half-child.
    • The god inflicts damage upon themselves, conciously or unconciously.

    [6] God's Maintaining Humans
    A slippery slope

    Actions that a god may take to "maintain" or "upkeep" their humans (the ones living on their plots of land they claimed) can be any of the following; with the understanding that these actions are being taken with the proper precaution, and under the assumption the god in question has the power to manipulate said elements required to do the action.

    • Clear away mass diseases, or pandemics that threaten to wipe out a vast majority of the population.
    • Bless their crops / food supply with a good harvest / large yielding.
    • Clean their water supply to avoid deadly bacteria spread.
    • Use the sparkling cloud's rain over the humans cities, to keep the faith in the gods strong, so they continue to recieve offerings.
    • Clear away bad dreams while a human is sleeping.
    • Force a human to sleep.
    • Kill a human's body at will, to avoid a long and drawn out death.
    • Take a few human souls near death, and transform them into godly helpers.


    Things that a god is NOT supposed to do with their humans, and does not count as upkeep, though is not punished due to it's non lethal nature. It is however, frowned upon, and seen as stepping out of line if it's made into a habit.

    • Copulating with any humans, of any kid, for any reason. Especially if it results in a half-child.
    • Copulating with a half-child.
    • Cursing a human with a strange and unusual condition (think midas' golden touch, not prometheus getting his guts eaten out forever.)
    • Attempting to maintain a human-based family structure with a human, either paired with or not.
    • Warning a human, or group of humans, about an event that is about to take place. That they should have no knowledge of until it happens. (tsunamis, hurricanes, drouts, earthquakes, etc.)
    • Pick a favorite out of a group of humans, and give them special treatment.
    • Give blessed, or otherwise godly enchanced trinkets, tools, or clothing to a human. Either via a trade, reward, or gift.


    Things that are completely and utterly unnaceptable for a god to do involving humans, and will be punished swiftly.

    • Killing an otherwise healthy and safe human.
    • Displaying any form of; godly talents, powers, spoken languages, auros, forbidden knowledge, or innerworkings of the sparkling cloud, and otherwise godly information not meant to be known by humans- to a human.
    • Purposefully poisioning, cursing pain, or spreading diseases onto a human, or their food and water supply.
    • Taking any human into the sparkling cloud, or godly locations barred off from human eye or access.
    • Directly telling humans what to think about their feuds with one another. ("You should do xyz, what a deplorable person, you should kill them, etc".)
    • Letting a human, or half-child anywhere near the heart. This includes sharing its location, viewing it, or touching it.
    • Purposefully maiming, killing, or torturing the half-children of other gods.
    • Torturing or cursing a human with a cruel and unusual punishment that does not kill them.
    • Turning a human into a full, or part animal.
    • Preventing a human or half-child from giving birth.
    • Barring off or preventing certain humans from crossing certain land borders.
    • Telling a half-child that they are a half-child.
    • Telling a half-child which god is their parent.

    [7] Punishment
    When the gods misbehave

    Depending on the severity, a god may be forcefully replaced and killed off, or have their bodily strength restricted and lessened so they are more suceptible to damage and pain. This is all done by the Overseer.

    [8] The grand archive
    pick a name

    A massive ever growing archive that holds all of God's history, and an infinite well of information. Located on the sparkling cloud. [0] Other Definitions Here is where the newly birthed gods pick out their name. Other gods are not meant to look into others history, only their own. If they try to look they will be temporarily blinded and the book will fly its way back onto the shelf. The god in question will also be notified that someone tried to look into their history.

    [9] Bloodline book
    bloodline history

    The book for a respective bloodline located in the grand archive. The book has an entire history of every god that existed in the bloodline, and writes itself as the current god continues to exist. The information recorded is their overall strength, mannerisms, relations with other gods and humans, all the way down to hobbies and favorite locations and foods. It also tells the tale of when the previous gods perished and how. Most Gods avoid this due to how uncomfortable and upsetting the contents are.

    [0] Other definitions

    • Auros
      The glowing colored light that the god's release from their bodies naturally, color specific to the god themselves. Humans cannot see this, but some half-children may be able to.

    • Half-Child / Half-Children
      Children conceived by a human being, and a god.
      If a half-child conceives a person with another human, that person is still a half-child, just to a lesser extent. You cannot "breed away" a half-child. Even thousands of generations later, they are still considered, or have the traits of, half-children.

    • Godly Helpers
      Spirits with varying physical forms and looks, that are bound to a heart, that assist or serve the god that is in control of said heart.

    • Sparkling Cloud
      A giant cloud, floating completely still in a part of the sky only gods may access. It holds a giant temple, where all godly artifacts, archives, etc. are located. It's earned its name, the "sparkling" cloud, because occsionally, the cloud may "rain" bits of light, or small, sand-like particles that glimmer and shine- but dissolve when they hit the ground. Human beings are capable of seeing this phenomenon, and most- if not all consider it good luck. They assume they'll be blessed if the shimmering falls over their city or home. Some cultures have correctly assumed it comes from a special cloud, others assume it's carried in the wind, etc. They are not actually blessed by the sparkling, it's just something that happens. The gods cannot control when or if it does.
