In the beginning there was but premortal stew. From which emerged the creators of Amphibia. The Gods Anne, Sasha and Marcy… - The Calamity Enchiridion Root 1:1
The Gods Of Amphibia is an Au I have been working on for a while! The basic premise is that instead of being interdimensional travelers from the human realm, Sasha, Anne and Marcy are actually immortal gods who created the Amphibia and all life on it. The girls are a style of god known as a embodied theist. Which means they are able to walk amongst their people and speak to them directly. Which basically kick starts us off when Anne saves Sprig from that large red Mantis, like at the start of the show.
All the girls are gods and govern over different aspects of life, some of which they played a part in creating, others of which they were assigned by their people. I don’t have a full list of them yet, but I have the basics. (I wasn’t sure how to change all their clothes so Marcy and Sasha have their show outfits thus far.)
God of wit. Creator of the Stars. Mother of Newts and Axolotls. Governs creativity, knowledge, learning, and inspiration. Marcy is known for visiting mortals of intellect, providing them with ideas and solutions. For this reason she is also considered a muse. Marcy is the most hands on of the gods, always ready to pop in and see her people when they want her (or don’t want her even!). Marcy has the ability to sense when her people (All of them) are bored and is happy to give them things to do. Marcy is mainly worshiped in places like Newtopia… however that has come under issues as of late…
God of heart. Creator of the moon. Mother of Frogs and companion creatures. Governs love, harvest, birth , health and forgiveness. Anne will sporadically visit Amphibians in need. She provides comfort, kindness and a few small miracles here and there. Anne is not as hands on a god as Marcy, but she does connect closely with her people. To the point where she will grow close, familiar attachments to them, which isn’t the best idea for an immortal being. Anne also has the ability to sense when her people (All of them) are sad or suffering. Anne is mostly worshiped in rural areas.
God of strength. Creator of the sun. Mother of toads and beasts. Governs war, loyalty, leadership, endurance and suffering. Sasha… does not visit Amphibians much and in the rare few times she has, she has not given out things for free. She instead offers trials in return for her blessings, if she appears to you at all. Sasha provides strength and courage if you impress her enough. Those she has blessed become amazing warriors. However that’s about all she gives. Sasha finds the mortals annoying and trivia, thus she is the least hands on of the gods. Sasha is infuriated that Anne and Marcy put so much importance in the mortals and she refuses to understand why. However the truth is the mortals frighten her slightly and she has her own personals issues to deal with. Sasha has the ability to sense when her people (All of them) are angry or frustrated. Sasha is the least worshiped of the gods, but that’s more at her request. The only temples in her name are at the four toad towers. (However all the churches feature each of the gods, they are just more tilted towards one.)
Its hard to really pin down what powers I want them to have or not have, so I’ve started to make a list.
Alter weather and world slightly
Endow any living thing with energy pretraining to their specialty
Help accelerate the healing of wounds
Change their clothes instantly
Shapeshift (they can grow bigger or smaller.)
Drastically alter weather (They can get big and make tidal waves and destroy mountains if they wanted to or if Anne let them..)
Control death. (Though the gods made the first Amphibians from the dirt and breathed life into them, they have no idea how souls work, where they come from or where they go. The Amphibians have historically made Sasha the governor of death, but she can’t do anything with it. )
Control Amphibians bodies or minds.
So yeah, Outside of that this is all I have for now! Feel free to make suggestions, ask questions and have fun with this idea!
