Shimmer the God of Passionate Flame

When in the Lost Plane, any Color that your character acts with will take the shape (in outline) of a tiger. Please note that all worlds will be experiencing the following issues: earthquakes, random teleportation around the world, and inhabitants being forgetful. Additionally, the main goals that must be accomplished to save a world are:
  • Stabilize that world’s leylines;
  • Find the missing god within their world and touch them with Okota’s Wheel; and
  • Help/destroy/remove as obstacles the inhabitants in the world that may have their own problems that need assistance or actively hindering your character(s).

    God Name: Shimmer
    God Aspect: Passionate Flame
    God Appearance: Giant cat made of magma
    World Name: Haze

    World Inhabitants: Candles, which are magma-based axolotls. Candles are friendly and incredibly competitive creatures that live in large fire-friendly cities made primarily of stone and concrete. They have the ability to regulate their own body temperature from pleasantly warm to blazing inferno, and have a habit of spitting fire when they get agitated. They feed on magma and mainly use their cities for non-feeding purposes, like trying to find their special someone, working hard to find their dream job, or practicing with all their might to be the best they can be at their favored skill.

    Basic World Description: Haze is a tropical world with small cities built into the sides of volcanos and within rainforests. There are many, many active volcanos in this world and it is primarily ocean, broken up by island chains. It is a very young world, in terms of creation, and the inhabitants are still extremely close to their god, many of them being some of the original inhabitants who were first created by Shimmer. There are all manner of rainforest flora and fauna and the main form of transportation is vespas on the islands and power boats between the islands.

    Notable World Quirks: All candles are particularly afraid of water as being stuck in water too long can kill them. There are significant superstitions surrounding deep water or swift-running water, as a result. Inhabitants will never cross a bridge until they've said a brief prayer to Shimmer to keep them safe, and candles who take to the sea as ferrycreatures are said to be lost to the flame. It's an extremely thankless profession, as you might imagine.

    Three Personalized Prompts:
    1. Candles aren't known for being especially worried about their plumbing infrastructure when most barely use the taps in their houses except for making things like tea, but when the earthquake rumbles and suddenly every fire hydrant in the city blows off… the citizens start to panic. Roy and his companions will find themselves in a doused city, water shooting up everywhere, starting to cause flooding. The inhabitants are in a panic with those too close during the initial blowout in dire need of assistance from someone who can brave the spewing water and restore the heat to bodies.

    2. Even for Roy, the heat of this place is starting to get to him. He and his companion have found themselves at the edge of an active volcano, the heat blasting from it as they search for another leyline to shift back into place. In that haze, they will begin to hallucinate people from home. Those they respect. Unfortunately, these people have little respect for them in this moment. The hallucinations will berate Roy and his companion for their supposed shortcomings and the only way to banish them is to stand up for oneself or the other person and tell the hallucination off right back.

    3. "You wanna know where Shimmer's home is?" The punk Roy and his companion have asked for help demands. The candle smirks, then pulls two sets of keys out of his biker jacket and tosses one to Roy and one to his companion. "I'll race you to the edge of the cliffs for it. It's a straight shot down this road. Beat me and it's all yours, old-timer."

    The candle saunters over to a cherry red vespa and motions to a blue and a green one for the others. The leylines are fixed, but finding where Shimmer's likely to be to restore them fully is now the challenge. One of them will need to beat the youth on a winding, pitted road… and hopefully avoid going off the cliffs, full speed, at the bottom.
