Divine Intervention – FFXV x Mythology Headcanons
Noctis Lucis Caelum – Protector of the Crystal; God of Night
The God of Night, son of the God of Time and the Goddess of Maternity.
A young and naive god, but one tasked with a great duty to protect the Crystal of the Astrals.
Many say he resides within the Crystal itself, but it’s only a legend since few have been able to see this strange Crystal within the Temple of Thought.
The Crystal itself is a means that regulates day and night, you see. If the Crystal isn’t able to control itself, then night will be eternal.
Or if something happens to the God who is to bring forth the daylight, then the Crystal would need to help make sure the darkness doesn’t fall.
The God of Night and the God of Sun coincide in terms of powers, both relying on one another in order to allow day and night to be balanced in the realm of humans.
The God of Night usually slumbers within the Crystal, waiting for when the God of the Sun comes along and awakens the night once again.
And once it is time for the night to slumber once again, the God of Night returns back to the crystal, put to a pleasant slumber by the Goddess of the Moon before the cycle repeats once again.
Prompto Argentum – Waker of Day and Night; God of the Sun
Bright as the sun he represents, the God of the Sun is among one of the best worshiped Astrals.
Many ask for his blessings in hope for his radiant light to shine upon them, resulting in him being a god associated with luck and fortune.
His main duties reside in bringing the sunlight to the realm of the humans, and also allowing the God of Night to bring forth the night.
He travels across the Sky every day until he meets with the Crystal where the God of Night slumbers.
And with a gentle greeting and ritual, he’s able to awaken the night, allowing the God of Night to cross the expansive sky so it may meet with the Goddess of the Moon and awaken her.
The God of the Sun holds an important duty to not only help the night, but he also serves as an icon for the humans – a blessing to them as a divine figure who directly affects them all.
He adores the humans perhaps the most out of the other Astrals, more inclined to walk amongst the humans to see how he can bless them with his light.
But nevertheless, his favorite time of the day is when he’s able to greet the night once again.
Ignis Scientia – Archivist of Thought; God of Memory
Residing in his own pantheon amongst the Astral realm, the God of Memory holds the knowledge and secrets of the Astral Realm and the Human Realm.
Perhaps his pursuit of knowledge seems overwhelming, but he continues to become the embodiment of perfection with the memories he holds to become the most intelligent Astral of the realm.
Protects the Crystal within his Temple of Thought, allowing only a rare few ever lay their eyes on the Crystal that he oversees.
At least, as much as he can see, for an accident where the God of Chaos attempted to defile the God of Night’s crystal resulted in the loss of his vision.
The God of Memory still allows himself to see VIA the dreams and memories of those he encounters, allowing them to be his gateway to the world he wishes to see once more.
But anything he can do to protect the Crystal and the God that resides in it, he will gladly do it as a devoted ally to the God of Night.
He is never seen leaving his Temple as a result of his accident, but it is no matter with the God of Strength visiting the Temple often or the God of the Sun approaching to awaken the night.
Perhaps one day, he may fight the knowledge of how to restore his eyesight again, but alas – such secrets must be sought after first.
Gladiolus Amicitia – Shield of the Gods; God of Strength
Just as the God of Metal once was, the God of Strength protects and serves those who are in need of his strength.
An unwavering shield of the weak, the God of Strength takes pride in his duty to bless people with his strength and devotion.
If someone feels doubt in their powers, he will help every last soul asking for the strength to carry on – at whatever the cost it is.
However, he cannot protect those unwanting of his strength – those who are strong without him. And it’s ultimately what caused him to fail in protecting the God of Memory.
He vows to protect his comrades as he can, but alas, he sometimes finds him own strength wavering as he’s unable to protect everyone he cares for.
But he fights, and fights, and fights. For one day, he may find the strength to truly be worthy of his status as a god.
He is noted to wander amongst the humans at times – particularly when the Astrals wish to traverse amongst human kind – and serves as their bodyguard of sorts.
He does admit, however, the humans have the best concoctions of food. Especially what he simply knows as ‘Cup Noodles.’ He asks the God of Memory to tell him more about this delicacy quite often.
Lunafreya Nox Fleuret – Keeper of the Night; Goddess of the Moon
As the night awakens after the God of the Sun performs his ritual, it is up to the Goddess of the Moon to make sure the night is safely brought to the humans.
A light amongst the dark, when the night becomes too weary to bear, she provides an aura of hope to those lost within the darkness, and to the god with a burden to carry every eve.
Without the night, there would be no moon, which is one of the reasons why the Goddess of the Moon is so reliant and enticed by the night.
However, the tragedy is knowing that without the moon, the night can still thrive.
But nevertheless, the Goddess of the Moon dedicates herself to guiding the night until the God of the Sun may return once again, allowing the God of Night to rest once more.
The moon allows travelers to fight safety in the dark, but the Goddess personifies an ideal of peace as well, for the dark can sometimes be filled with unwanted chaos and fear.
But fear not, weary traveler.
For when you gaze upon the moon’s graceful light, the Goddess will watch over you and protect you from the monsters in the darkness.
Ravus Nox Fleuret – Watcher of the Dead; God of Death
A strange fate the God of Death had faced, residing once as the God of Life and yet, meeting a fate that resulted in a tragedy for the god.
Corrupted by the God of Chaos, the God of Life was unable to do the very thing he was destined to do: give life to those he wished to grant life to.
Everything the god touched withered away, unable to fight for life – a tragedy in the eyes of a man once beloved by most, now feared by all.
He resides amongst those who attempt to pass through the Astral Realm to the afterlife, a judge to them with a new duty to make sure no one wicked or unjust can pass through to the afterlife.
Those who are unworthy of ascension must deal with him. And just as despair once filled him, he will show the wicked what true despair was with an eternity of punishment and torment.
Due to his corruption, he is unable to truly reside amongst the Astrals once again, trapped in his own realms of death, where the lost wait for their chance for atonement in the afterlife.
He is unable to see those he once cared for, fearful that his corruption and pension for death will curse those that he touches and remains by – just like the Goddess of Fertility that he unfortunately took the life from.
He can only watch from his place amongst the dead, hoping that perhaps one day, he too may know his own peace in death.
Ardyn Izunia – Wicked King of Exiles; God of Chaos
A name erased from history itself, and yet his reputation is known throughout all of legend.
Something wicked this way comes, and it comes in the form of the God of Chaos.
Once chosen to become the King of the Astrals, he was denounced in his name, for no one could trust a man of chaos and wickedness to rule over with fairness and justness.
Alas, it was something that the king of Chaos would not take lightly. For step by step, plot by plot, he hopes to be able to exact his revenge against the Astrals and their ‘Beloved’ king.
He will do what it takes to prove that he is not a threat to be taken lightly, even going so far to attempt to steal the God of Night and corrupting him, so that night will never be allowed to slumber ever again.
There are those amongst the humans that see the King of Exiles as the true king of the Astrals, many devoting themselves to the God of Chaos’s philosophies and teachings.
So it is there that he will continue his revolt against the gods, by turning the humans against the gods they once worshiped.
Because, after all, what is a God to a non-believer?
BONUS CHARACTERS —
Aranea Highwind – Goddess of the Winds. She can be as gentle as a spring breeze or as treacherous as a fall hurricane. Her temper is hard to judge.
Cindy Aurum – Goddess of Creation. Not to be confused with the God of Life, she blesses the humans with the inspiration to create, build, and shape the world around them.
Cor Leonis – God of War. Evenly-tempered and honorable, those who seek war will see for the God of War’s advice and strength, for only the honorable will prevail in war as the god watches.
Iris Amicitia – Goddess of Nature. Young and kind-spirited, she blesses with the humans with the life around them and the ability to survive in a beautiful world created by her and the other Astrals.
Nyx Ulric – God of Victory. When your will is lost and the tides of battle fall out of your favor – fear not. Call upon his blessing, and the God of Victory will aid those truly deserving of a fair victory in an unfair world.
Step one of a commission I’ve been working on for @deungnamu/@bxstiarus. c: Can’t tag them unfortunately, BUT HERE! YOU WILL SEE IT, I’M SURE.
He wanted me to draw his character, Bastien, in a fancy uniform for House Fleuret, because he’s a blessing upon the house and Ravus’s protector and ally. >u< GET THEM, BASTIEN BABY. KEEP ON KILLING IT WITH THEM STEEL TOED BOOTS.
Step two is in the works, but here you go, for hype until then!
