🌕 🌙 𝐎𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐫𝐢𝐬 🌙 🌕 [OUTDATED]

Set in a world where angels strictly guard every corner of the world on behalf of a single god.

Ophyris is the protector and ruler of the moon, or at least, that was his role. He is an androgynous man, seemingly a young adult with a slender, slender figure, despite being millions of years old. Furthermore, being a deity, he has no real gender; he can change gender at will. He presents himself as a young man only because he has already explored being a woman in the past and wants to experience all the "shades" of being mortal (any pronoun is fine with him, as his gender is effectively neuter).

His hair is silver and long, often tied in a braid or bun on top of his head. His eyes are a deep, almost unreal blue, deep, and he has long eyelashes. He tends to dress elegantly, in loose-fitting clothes that don't tend to stand out too much. Although he tries to blend in unobtrusively with mortals, one might say he seems ethereal and almost otherworldly, like an angel made of light.

His personality is calm and quiet, especially evident in the way he speaks, which is slow and measured. He is introverted and tends to keep to himself, mostly because he can't allow anyone to discover his "secret." He is pursued by God's angels who are searching for him to bring him back, even though he hides himself using spells and protections. He is a wanderer who travels to acquire knowledge without a fixed abode. He is highly cultured and has a deep thirst for knowledge. He enjoys constantly learning new things, although in his long years of existence he has learned almost everything there is to know. However, his greatest motivation remains mortals, as he feels he never stops learning new things about them and being deeply fascinated and in love with them. He tends to interact with them as an anonymous stranger, offering his help to those in need and then vanishing without a trace. He is very wise and a sensitive soul who respects all creatures and detests tyrannies, which is also why he decided to abandon his place in Eden. He sometimes displays a scathing sense of humor and a playful, almost childish side, although in some contexts he struggles to understand the use of humor itself. He could be described in many ways as a perfect gentleman. He tends to use logic a lot, but without completely eliminating his emotional side, which he learned mostly from mortals. He tends to have great faith in the natural cosmic order, to which all things are subordinate. He can be an excellent mentor and sometimes passes on some of his knowledge to those he deems more worthy. However, despite this, he can also be strict and severe when necessary; despite his apparent kindness, he knows when to exercise a certain coldness. He is very enigmatic and hides many secrets. This mystery sometimes makes him even more fascinating, if one may say so. Furthermore, he is very perfectionist and meticulous in his work.

He is deeply connected to nature and the imagery of the night sky and the stars, which he misses. He enjoys books, coffee, and tea, studying the various cultures of mortal species, reading books, visiting new places, listening to mortals' stories, and helping them in times of need. He greatly enjoys eating sweets, considering them one of the best things about being alive in an organic body.

He cannot stand frivolity, ignorance, and self-centeredness, as well as indifference to anything.

Ophyris can still use her powers, although he is forced to hide them so as not to draw too much attention to herself. He is also connected to the moon and dreams, often appearing through them to mortals and helping them with their personal matters.

He's not among the most powerful deities, but he still possesses strength, even if he doesn't flaunt it. He prefers to use his power to help those in need.

His powers include dream manipulation, ocean manipulation, and tend to be heavily influenced by the phase of the moon, often affecting his personality. He's also capable of divination and prophecy.

He was created as one of the shadows of the main God, and after reigning for many years, he realized how wrong everything was, how different and unaccepted he felt. For this reason, he decided to leave everything behind and live as a normal person. Angels (biblically accurate, almost frightening creatures in this case) try to chase him wherever he goes, but he's good at hiding. Since he left his post, what appears in the heavens is a sort of projected moon that must be controlled by external forces as its main life source has been lost. Furthermore, the shadow of Ophyris (the dark side of the moon) has begun to haunt him, appearing at times when the new moon should be present, bringing trouble to him and others.

As previously mentioned, his voice is soft and calm. He speaks slowly, measuring his words, almost sensually, but unintentionally.

Some other curiosities include things like: He often takes on the appearance of an owl when he needs to move quickly without attracting attention as a mortal. He enjoys counting the stars and sometimes conversing with them, as they remind him of home; the spirits of the constellations were once his subordinates. He enjoys tending plants; when he happens to stay in one place for a longer period of time, he tends to certain species of plants and then gives them away when he has to leave again. He is good at drawing, having developed this passion after meeting a painter and keeping some of his teachings. He tends to be very tidy and wants to practice an almost obsessive cleanliness of the places he finds himself in.

Ophyris isn't really interested in romantic relationships, but someone sensitive and intelligent enough might catch his eye. Although he tries to keep his distance from all mortals, except animals. He's a deeply melancholic soul who sometimes wonders what mortals feel about the romantic realm. We could say he's demisexual and pan.
