Indra: God of Wind and Lightning
Description: Standing over 10ft in height, Indra now wears the visage of a Peregrine falcon after his ascension which merged his soul with the essence of wind. Clothed in a blue and purple dhoti with long black hair and bright blue eyes, Indra’s body is buffeted by an invisible wind while lightning zaps around his frame. A pair of silver blue wings extends from his back and necklaces of silver dangle while matching bracers hang from his wrists. A silver pendant hangs around his neck with a sparkling amethyst gem glittering at the center.
Lore: The Lord of Storms, Indra is the creator of the Kinnara, a winged humanoid race with avian features who inhabit the floating islands scattered across Asphodel. He created the protective storms that shield the corporeal realm from the deleterious effects from both the realms of Light and Dark. His winds insulate against the deathly freezing chill of the Abyss, while abating the furious heat emanating from the Above thus allowing the corporeal realms to exist comfortably within the reaches of Saol. His realm, Svarga, is a cloudly, groundless realm of floating islands inhabited solely by his kin.

Mizugami: Goddess of Seas and Islands

Unarmed with no visible aura of power emanating, Mizugami could easily be mistaken for any elderly amabie grandmother. She is dressed in a dark-blue kimono decorated with cascading snowflakes falling across crashing waves.

His body is made up of different strains of ore, green-gold adamantine, silvery-white palladium, ochre-black orichalum, turquoise aetherium, scarlet rubite and hundreds of others swirl together to create a dazzlingly colorful display interspersed by grey and black blotches.
