Gārsecg, God of the Ocean

Domains & Aspects:

Oceans, typhoons, sailing, fishing, shipbuilding, whales, sharks, sea life, wrath and safety of the sea.

Symbols:

A cresting wave; trident crossed with oar; gold compass rose.

Realm:

The Deep, is a boundless seascape, an ocean without end where the horizon constantly shifts between tranquil blue and storm-darkened skies. Countless islands rise like jewels from the waters, some lush with jungle and gold-lined coves, others barren with jagged cliffs where waves crash endlessly. Beneath the surface lies a world both wondrous and terrifying: glowing cities of coral where spirits dwell, sunken ships and empires filled with treasure wrapped in silence, forests of kelp that sway like curtains hiding secrets, and trenches so deep even light dares not follow. Colossal beings roam the currents, dolphins and whales that sing songs of creation, serpents that coil around islands and titanic beasts whose shadows can blot out fleets. The sea itself feels alive, and those who enter sense its breath in the tides.

Personality:

Gārsecg is commanding and proud, carrying himself like the sovereign of an endless kingdom. Though usually calm as the steady tide, his mood can shift one moment from gentle and protective, to being a raging storm. He respects courage and reverence, favoring sailors, fishermen and explorers who honor his domain with offerings and humility. Those who defy him or treat the sea with arrogance find themselves at the mercy of typhoons and crushing depths. Despite his wrathful streak, he is not cruel, his power is a force of balance, both savior and destroyer, as vast and contradictory as the ocean itself.

Appearance:

Resembles a humanoid hybrid of tiger shark and killer whale, colored like a killer whale but the black replaced with grey to ocean colors and patterns of a tiger shark, some of the patterns going on to the white parts, has silvery blue coral cat shark eyes, wears gold gladiator like armor and usually carries a trident.
