In the times before gods created mortals, they were watching angels, demons, and demigods. The great power of these families breeded both immense love, but also immense conflict. RajiyRajiyu left one such family, the oneonly kind child of her many cruel siblings. She was a zesha at that time, with a body of half snake and half human.Rajiyu wandered the world offeringperforming extremepenance penances to bring forgiveness upon the forgotten crimes of their siblings. Fasting, celibacy, pilgramge in the isolated wilderness. The penances brought flesh,skin,flesh, skin, and muscle to dry and merge upon her frame. She took the form of an immense snake. A servant still, she foundcontinued to find ways to serve theher godspenance and herthe penance.world.One day in a hidden desert, Rajiyu met with the titan Vis'rasVis'Ras - a giant lost in time and wisdom. Rajiyu wept with the beauty of Vis'rasVis'Ras who, though sickly, held the lostLost truths.Truths. And so Rajiyu became a follower, caring for the lost mad behemoth, hoping to ultimatley be absolved by this being. They went to work on a legendary city, and upon its completion, Vis'ras rewarded Rajiyu with a piece of the lostLost truth,Truth, causing Rajiyu to grow four more heads, creating the Five Heads of Rajiyu. It is said that Rajiyu at this time became capable of small tricks of time travel, but like Vis'Ras has a small sickness that it brings. A lack of clarity. The heads five stay mostly asleep, open only in certain times, and aware of only certain parts of life.One day Rajiyu follows Vis'ras to a god of truth - Nakana. Nakana turns Vis'ras to ash in the great debate, and this causes Rajiyu to cry out in horror. The anger of Rajiyu is great, and all ten of her eyes wept blue tears. Nakana, seeing the harm, the loyalty, and the beauty, embraces Rajiyu, giving her the truth, and elevating her to a god. From this time they became able to split time itself.
The Five Faces of Rajiyu
The Five Faces is a mystery of this god's nature. Only one or two faces have ever been seen awake and speaking at the same time, while the others stay still as death. It is thought that they all share one mind, divided alongthe different eras of time they live, all at once.
Rajiyu & Muuru
Both awake in the magic era, they are sometimes awake at the same time in the same place. Other times they may be awake in the same time in different places. Other times they may be awake in different times in different places. This takes its toll on their abilities.
Rajiyu - The First Face is most alert in the Magic Era. Merged with all of time in its infinity, they may split, start, or merge time of planets, suns, and cosmos. However, Muuru, the Second Face, is also awake. Muuru plus the illness of time makes this ability difficult to control.
Muuru - The Second Face is most alert in the Magic Era. Muuru is the time of bodies. Muuru may influence the position of the sun and the ages of the living. However the ills of time and the conflicts of Rajiyu make the abilities difficult to control.
The other three faces are lesser known gods likely ocupying other eras or times. It is thought that if all of the faces are awake at once, it is to either bing an ultimate good or an ultimate terror.
Visual: Rajiyu is one of the (at least) five forms of Rajiyu. Rajiyu's body is thatof a zesha, which is usually half woman/half man and/or half snake. Sometimes all snake. On the neck of the body are five heads with five different faces. All are asleep except Rajiyu and Muuru. There can be two versions of Rajiyu like this in one room, because the faces mean they are basically alive in the same "time". All faces have a magical third eye that may be seen by certain other gods and invisible to others.
Rajiyu's body infinitly uncoild below her, enabling the conitnuing of time itself.
Animal: Many headed snake.
RP: Like Vis'Ras before her, Rajiyu is experiencing something deeply confusing and depressing, possibly analogous to alzheimers or dementia. Rajiyu doesn't understand life as a human mighy, or gender, or age, or of the body. They are mainly a kind of struggling mind when you get down to it. Rajiyu knows a piece of the Lost Truth, which means they understand the history apiece of reality before the creation of the void and the freeing of the Titans. However any piece of the Lost truth is essentially ak ind of madness in the current eras, and so revealing it to themsleves or abnother god is not a taks Rajiyu would do freely or exactly know how to do. They also experience time all at once, giving their speech a possibly confusing tense. They still see themselves as a servant and observe constant pennance, and respect those who also observe pennance. She still mourns the loss of Vis'Ras and denies the existence of the paradise they were building and/or the City of Dust. She ultimately seeks to observe penance and, in many ways, obey the nature of time. Serving justice (good or bad) is, although unlikely straightforward in Rajiyu's form, still their highest definition of penance.
She is awake/living with Muuru however, who creates a paradox in their own way, making it hard to focus. They do not outright dislike one another in any way. But they must respect a lot of emotional and mental limits not to harm one another, making for a very brittle and anxious relationship.
