Help me pick an OC to Intro part 7! With a Twist

Hello everyone! I recently posted my last intro for Otilia. Now its time for round 7! However I'm changing it up a little bit, for this poll I will give the option of voting for either a character or one of the races/sentient creatures that appear in my WIP.

Drew Trucy in some outfits I’ve worn in the last couple weeks

so I cracked open my document for worldbuilding/writing for the first time in forever today

and I realized that I can worldbuild to infinity, but I can't actually write the story to save my life. So, in an attempt to get me motivated to write the thing, here's some information on the dominant religion in my world.

Worships a pantheon of gods and spirits. The main difference between the two is that gods can be replaced, but spirits cannot.

Spirits are the embodiments of abstract concepts, while gods are more like people with supreme power over a concrete object.

Sometimes humans mash together similar gods and spirits, as seen with how Krunin and Brin got mistaken for the same person, but some are distinct enough, like the fearfully unnamed spirit of death and Rylai

 Society sees the daytime sky as more in tune with the earth, even having a myth about how the daytime sky protects the earth from the vast expanse of the universe. Hence why Fyrian’s title is “God of the earthly sky” The night sky is seen as more tied to the universe at large, since you can see all of the stars at night.

The story goes that both Greavi, Astrapulli, and Fyrian worked together to create humanity, with Astrapulli going on to take the roll of being the one to guide humanity on the road to advancements, Fyrian being Humanity’s protector and Greavi being the great provider.

Astrapulli and Fyrian are often worshiped together in a duality or balance capacity, especially in the leviathan kingdom. It’s actually half the reason the Leviathan Kingdom’s capital of Crenan was established.

The gods are worshiped in daily life at their specific shrines. People will go there and pray and leave offerings towards a god.

Not everyone regularly worships every god, but each god and goddess has their own holidays that are upheld

It might seem weird that there hasn’t been much mythical drift across time and various disruptive historical events, however the explanation of this is two-fold. First, the gods are actually real, and have made several appearances throughout history and prehistory and in every country, thus leaving humanity to make a more concrete mythical lore. Secondly, Yvine Ojan spent a lot of time codifying the myths from all across the continent, creating a relatively solid canon for the gods, and it’s only been slightly over a hundred years since she did that, thus not giving the myths much time to drift

Gods, and some spirits

Empyria-Goddess of music

Patron goddess of the L’norinette family

Constantly at war with Greavi for reasons forgotten by mortals

An'Tuska- Spirit of precipitation

Has a rivalry with Fyrian

Iapert-goddess of the sea

Merudi- God of wealth

There Is a week-long festival in the Ojalana empire that ends in a massive public ball hosted by the palace. This event, Called Deviti week attracts many tourists

Patron of the Ojalana Empire

Works closely with the spirits of plenty and deficit

Myrcid- goddess of justice and fair rule

Patron Goddess of the Ojalana Empire

Astrapulli- God of the universal sky

His left eye is the moon- which is also inhabited by Herun, the spirit of moonlight

Co-creator of humanity

Fyrian- God of the earthly sky

His right eye is the sun- inhabited by the spirit of sunlight, Degras

Co-creator of humanity

Greavi- Goddess of the natural world

Co-creator of humanity

Krunin- god of the eternal flame

Commonly depicted as a war god, representing the undying loyalty and determination of soldiers, as well as the destruction of war.  In actuality he is a god of immortality and fire as his epithet would suggest, war is actually controlled by the spirit brin-who is close friends with Krunin.

Pynis (pie-nis)- Goddess of rocks and earth

Rylai (ree-ly)- god of living spirits

Has control over the souls of all living and dead creatures (including plants)

The spirit of death

Goes unnamed out of fear that writing the spirit’s name will call it to them.

It incites a soul’s journey to the beyond-place, which hosts the true kingdom of Rylai

Talk about perfect timing!

I don't understand how you've made this coherent, but you have

Getting my tire replaced, send me AEIWAM questions?

"There's only room enough for one of us"

If i we're a qualified psychiatrist, yes. Im not, but i could still give you drops of coffee

would you still prescribe me stimulants if i was a worm

This is why leverage is so popular

well, they found him. and unfortunately, he’s a bit weird. posted a bunch of stuff on X. politically extremely hard to pin down. i just want to remind you all—standing united against megacorporations should not be, and does not need to be, a political position. we can disagree with the suspect on other issues and still believe he doesn’t deserve to be charged. let’s demonstrate that this issue transcends other political squabbles

say it with me, everyone: “I’m not interested in engaging with the Culture War. I’m interested in engaging in the Class War. We can argue about that other, petty stuff once multi-billion dollar companies aren’t allowed to kill people indiscriminately under the law anymore.”
