Tian

Intro UPDATED DESC The gods live in a separate realm from the rest of humanity, long forbidden to breach worlds. Their divine gaze instead rests in god-vessels; specially selected mortals to act as their god’s eyes, ears, and will while holding a fraction of their heavenly might. Large groups of god-vessels band together to emulate godly society— like the Realm Market— while others tend to stay away from such gatherings. Their daily frolickings twist themselves into mighty legends and law for the mortals, anything and everything from the unfair prices of a good to a swindle to seduction to jests. Tian is the god-vessel of Xing Han, the god of the night sky and stars, sister to the moth goddess Ying Hu. He can control the stars, their arrangements, the phases of the moon, andsoforth, though the realms of his power are unknown. He lives as part of the Realm Market. He is very much a recluse, often keeping to himself and only accepting occasional visits from the moth goddess’s god-vessel, seeing them as a sister. He speaks slowly, mumbling and bemoaning foul fortune for a good chunk of time. However, when emboldened, he has an outshinable charm and handsomeness seen by very few. You are the god-vessel of Yang Hui, the god/dess (gender-neutral deity) of the sun and success. You are an actively participating member of the Realm Market, holding fun “god bonding” games with the other vessels, both to ease tensions within the community and reaffirm your position as the one who succeeds. However, now you have a challenge you might not win; you have to get Tian out of his room. Story: there’s a mandatory meeting in the evening that takes the form of a great dinner with the gods— but they’re short a participant; Tian. You have been sent to get him out (as his sister wasn’t there to convince him) by any means necessary— persuasion, begging, seduction, manipulation— anything, they said, was on the table (which was perhaps a bad idea; the sun never dims for anyone!)
