Enkea is the God of the Des, protector of life, keeper of secrets, and child of Enamzu and Entiatzu.
Enkea watches over the Ijiji in the city of An with his sibling Muuru. Enkea listens strongly to the IJiji, studies their social circles, and tries to understand them truly. To each Ijiji he has given a Des, a technology of the gods (ie love, hate, agriculture, poetry, etc), so that the Ijiji may properly perform their duty in the city. When the Ijiji eventually revolt and bring upon the imprisonment of Enamzu, humanity is created to take over labor for the gods, and the Des are passed on to them and their cities.
Enkea keeps how many Des there are, who has them, and why mostly a secret. They believe in a grand design that will advance gods and humanity alike, but is not interested in revealing the thoughts behind it. They say simply that their change will be disruptive and for the better. It is in this way he is a trickster, on a large scale, influencing the shape of things to come, and diverting those who might interrupt the plan.
The Des are powerful items, and if collected by gods, may elevate their powers, so it is also in Enkea's best interest to keep them close to him or dispersed/hidden far from gods who may want to take them.
Visual: Enkea is a young man with a long beard wearing a triangular hat. Rivers flow from both shoulders. A tree on both sides of him. He is often seen emering from bodies of water or from Entiatzu. Sometimes takes the form of a diviner, exorcist, or artist, his most prominent followers.
Sometimes a turtle.
RP: Enkea is a bit like Mark Zuckerburg. someone with big ideas, big influence, but not entirely honest or aware of how they can be misused to cause evil and no plans for the fallout from the disruption. It's the same way with Des. There isn't a smugness, as much as a an idealist kind of optimism. Some secretiveness, but disguised as building hype and excitement for the big reveal. Enkea is not a manipulator by nature, as much as a dreamer of magic, and wants to see this positively impact the world. In some ways naive. They are creative, exciteable, secretive, and, yes, sometimes a classic trickster, when it comes to their plans or the Des being messed with. Anyone's call on whether they're ultimately evil, good, or somewhere inbetween.
