The first human Orciel blessed to be a god when the other gods were very young and saw them as his equal. Husband of Ameino.


Faischou:


Once a human girl who was forced to become one of the first vassals for Inferi, but her willpower was too great and allowed her to keep control and power. Eventually she gained enough of her own power that the gods forced her to return power to inferi. Still, she was powerful enough she was given the title of goddess. She met Sorin, who calmed her. They were to be wed before Sorin fell for Ameino and left her. This resulted in a deep seeded hatred for Ameino and the Ameino lineage. The rage caused her to become Goddess of Chaos.

Creation of the world


In the beginning it was only Orciel, the beginning of everything. In time, he chose to create earth and water, from it sprang forth his two children- Beterro, the god of the land, and Maluna, the goddess of the ocean. Orciel, immediately recognizing the power and intelligent in his two children, decided to leave the world and its creation to them. From there, Beterro created and molded his terrain, creating deserts, mountains, and forests, meanwhile, Maluna focused on the beauty she could provide beneath water, creating reefs, currents, rivers and streams. Eventually, they both began to miss their father, and decided to join him again- Beterro becoming the sun and Maluna becoming the moon. This however, angered Orciel. There may be a beautiful earth, but there was nothing to live in it. He told them they had to finish what they started, so they took turns, sometimes Maluna would be with her father in the sky, and other times it would be the other way around, causing the shift of night and day.


Creation of Humanity, Dragons, and Morphis


Over time, Maluna and Beterro fell more and more in love. the day they were wedded was greeted by a beautiful eclipse as they came together. From it, they had two pairs of twins and a daughter. Both pairs of twins were a brother sister pair- one pair was Disendra and Beterro, and the other was Di'ess and Di'moss. The other sister was a girl named Inferi. The twins were the first humans, and switched mates between themselves, creating a wide variety of humans with different beliefs, personalities, and talents. As time went on, Orciel saw the heartbreak growing within Beterro and Maluna, as their children were human, they would eventually die. So, Orciel killed his grandchildren, created new, celestial bodies for them, and revived them as gods and goddesses. Inferi was less interested in her human siblings, and instead chose to seduce Orciel, which created the first dragons. Meanwhile, once the children became gods and goddesses, they grew attachments to different animals and other creations of their parents, and chose to bless them- giving them the ability to become humans as well as animals so they could communicate with the humans around them. Though it may be a blessing, it unfortunately has caused a great deal of aggression throughout history.
