This is the God concept approval thread! Here you can apply to be eligible to quest for Gods. Your concept requires approval before you can enter God events [such as customs and raffles], and that entire process occurs here. General information regarding Gods and Goddesses as well as the existing Gods and Goddesses of the Realm will not be found here, for that has it its own thread located here. Continue reading to find out more!

God Approval Process A God is a rare, special kind of Ulaya, and obtaining a God is not supposed to be easy. To some, this approval process may look daunting, but we wish to make this process as seamless as possible for all customers who wish to own Gods in the future. It will benefit you greatly to carefully read all the information presented here and follow each step accordingly. The ProcessFirst and foremost, come up with a concept. If you have a general idea in mind but you feel it is underdeveloped or that you cannot continue through this process with just the idea you have, feel free to contact us. We're more than happy to help you out and get your ideas rolling~
Now that you have an idea, come up with a couple different domains for your concept. The more domains you have, the easier it will be to edit your concept should your first domain be rejected. Take into consideration the other Gods existing in the Realm at this time. If your domain conflicts with them, there is a chance your concept will be rejected. There is more detail regarding domains below.
Once you have all this mind, you will have to fill out the form provided at the bottom of this post. Please fill out the form as thoroughly as you can. The more information we have, the easier this process will be. Post this completed form in this thread and staff will review your application as quickly as possible. You can check the status of your application in the Application Statuses post.
You will receive a PM when we either approve or deny your quest. If your quest is approved, it will be added to our Approved God Concepts list and you may enter your concept in God raffles, customs, and the like. In the even that your quest is rejected, there will be a list of reasons why in the PM we will send to you as well as suggestions as to how you may improve your concept. Please do not take a rejection too hard and remember that staff is more than happy to work with you on your concept. Once your concept is edited, you may post it here again for approval.
Two staff members will need to approve your God concept. Most approvals will be primarily handled by Shi Berry and another available staff member. DomainsEvery God and Goddess will have their own domain. This domain dictates what your God rules over, his powers, and, to a certain extent, his appearance. Choosing your God's domain can be tricky, so we have established a few rules and guidelines to help you on your quest.
Choose a domain that is unique to your God concept. We understand that overlap between God domains is inevitable, but we want every God to have his own niche in the world. For example, the God of Plants can exist with both the God of Trees and God of Flowers, but the God of Plants cannot exist with the God of Vegetation.
In the case of overlapping domains, the rule of thumb is that your God concept should be specialized in order to exist, like the example above with the Gods of Plants, Trees, and Flowers. Plants is a broad domain encompassing Trees and Flowers alike. Plants has influence over Trees and Flowers and powers of both, but Trees and Flowers are specialized in that their powers are both more powerful but limited to their respective domains.
We will be sure to check that your domain is different enough from any existing Gods. However, be sure to come up with alternate domains should we decide that your concept is too similar to that of an existing God.
If your desired domain has more than one meaning, you can only quest for a God of one of those meanings. For example, the God of Seals can be the God of the animal seals, or the God of the objects and mechanisms that closes an entryway or object [sealed cave] or fastens two objects together [like the seal of a pipe]. The domain may only encompass one of these meanings of the word 'seal.'
You may quest for a God with the same domain as another God being quested. Multiple quests for a single domain may exist. However, if one of those quests is made into a God, then all the other quests for that domain will have to be edited and approved again.
You may not quest for a God with a domain that is already in existence. Only one God may rule over any given domain.
You may not quest for a God with an unavailable domain. Those domains cannot exist in this shop.
You may not quest for a God with a reserved domain. Those are domains which will appear in future events or are in the process of being made.
You may only quest for one God at a time. You can post multiple God concepts for approval; however, should one of those concepts be approved, that is the only concept for which you may actively quest.
AppearanceWe do require that you give us a general idea on how you intend to design your God. We do not require a completed custom form, for we understand that you may change your ideas, not have a complete idea in mind, or allow whichever colorist takes on your God to have some artistic liberties. We only ask for a general concept to be sure that your God's design is reasonable, just so we know the God of Plants is not going to be running around with hair made of fire or something of the sort. PowersWe also require that you list your God's powers. This is done for a couple reasons: to make sure that your God is not overpowered, to be sure that you have thoroughly thought about your God, and to be make sure your God's powers do not overlap or conflict with the powers of existing Gods. Please list all of your God's potential powers for review and approval.
There are some powers all Gods attain:
All Gods can fly, even those without wings.
All Gods can communicate telepathically with other Gods, Ulaya, and species. However, only other Gods can communicate back telepathically.
All Gods can teleport, both short range and long range.
All Gods can appear as simple mortals, concealing their identity from others.
All Gods are immortal, unless they choose to die.
All Gods are immune to the powers of other Gods. Existing UlayaYou may raise an existing mortal Ulaya to God status, but they have to go through this same approval process. A few things are different regarding the art of your Ulaya, however:
If an existing Ulaya is raised and entirely redone, that Ulaya will count as a God Custom and will be full priced.
Existing Ulaya who are raised and only get some edits tacked onto the art they already have will be cheaper than an entirely redone or brand new God, but, in turn, they require at least 20 completed roleplays in order to be considered eligible for being raised to the status of God.
Existing Ulaya who are not touched at all and simply get a the title of God added to their certs will only cost an ascension fee; however, they too must have at least 20 completely roleplays in order to be considered eligible for being raised to the status of God. FormThis is the form you are required to fill out and post here for approval. There are some general rules regarding how to fill out the form, as well as descriptions of the categories. Some categories are required, some are not.
First, the general rules:
Please fill the form out to the best of your ability.
Do not mess with the form.
One form per post.
Now onto the form itself:
Name of God
A straightforward section, this is the name you intend to give your God concept. This is not a required section for you to fill out, just, if you have a name for your God concept, you may fill that in here.
Domain
This is where you fill in your desired domain for your God concept. This is a required section of the form.
Alternative Domains
These are alternative domains for your God concept, should there be a problem with your desired domain. Please list at least two or three alternative domains for your concept. This is a required section of the form.
Concept/Background
This is where you tell us about your concept. What is your idea for your God? How did he come into being? How will he manage his domain? What does he do? What is he like? Why is he suited for this domain? What does his domain mean to him?
The more information you can give us about your God concept, the better. It is good for us to understand your concept and what you intend to do with your God should it come into being, and the more likely we are to accept your concept.
This is a required section of the form.
Powers
Here you list out your God concept's powers. You tell us what your God will be able to do and the limitations on his powers. He should have one or two major powers, and perhaps a couple minor, weaker powers.
While perhaps two powers, weak and strong, seems a little limiting, it can pass. However, if your God concept has ten different powers listed, we will probably ask you to cut a few of them out. Gods are powerful beings, but we wish for them to not be too overpowered. We also want to be sure that your God concept's powers fit his domain and that they do not conflict with the powers of existing Gods.
This is a required section of the form.
Appearance
Finally, the last section of the form! This is where you tell us how you intend to design your God concept. It does not have to be thorough or set in stone. As stated earlier, we understand designs change or you allow the colorist to exercise artistic liberties when creating your God [if your God concept is accepted and is created]. That being said, we simply want to know your God concept's design reasonably fits his domain. Again, with the example of the God of Plants, we do not want the poor Plant God running around with his head on fire or something like that.
If your applying for an existing Ulaya to be raised to God status, you will need to post your Ulaya's cert for us to see. You will also need to list any edits or alterations to the existing Ulaya's design should he be raised to God status.
You may request a Colorist Choice [CC] God, where you simply give loose details [domain, basic ideas, et cetera] for your God and the colorist handles the art entirely. This option is for customers who have no idea what they want their Gods to look like, but has a great idea of what they want the domains to be.

[img]If existing, place cert link here.[/img][/size] Example FormsGod Concept! Name of God: Azâzêl
Domain: Malice
Alternative Domains: Corruption, Hate, Sin
Concept/Background
Evil has always existed in the Realm, but it has never had a vessel. In time, it found Azâzêl, gravitating to his essence and the malice within him. Evil is a strong force, frighteningly so, and it generates a great deal of power. It is this power, the sheer concentration of evil in Azâzêl, that causes his ascension to the God of Malice.
There is no goodness in him at all; he is the embodiment of evil. He has not the capacity for benevolence, love, pity, mercy, or the like. He thrives on the suffering and hardship of all living creatures. He is profoundly immoral, lacking them entirely. He exists as the manifestation of all malevolence and the absence of morality. He believes himself to be the true essence of ulaya, that morality came after in attempt to control the more carnal instincts. He goes around the land causing other ulaya to be immoral; testing all living creatures and their unsettling capacity for evil; damning others to a life of sin; and ruining, if not ending, the lives of all living things. Despite his ability to lie and sound sensible in his work, there need not be sense behind his actions, for his actions are just what they are: evil.
Powers
Minor Powers
Telepathy: He has the ability to read the minds of other ulaya, not to the extent where he can read their thoughts word for word, but he knows of their deepest desires and their weakness from which he can formulate ways to exploit the ulaya.
Telekinesis: He can move objects with his mind.
Mimicry: He can mimic the voices and sounds of other ulaya and other animals.
The Evil Within: If an ulaya is weakened by some internal conflict which would be making him consider some immoral act, he can stimulate that depravity and make it more powerful, making the Ulaya exceedingly more likely to commit the act [ie: an ulaya considering an affair would be far more likely to commit adultery].
Major Powers
The Devil Made Me Do It: If an ulaya is in a weakened, conflicted, distressed state, he is vulnerable to Azâzêl's handiwork. In this case, Azâzêl can enter the ulaya, possessing both his mind and body. He gains access to the entirety of the ulaya's mind and physical control over the ulaya, and the victim is entirely conscious.
[Note: This power will only ever be used in character with the permission of all parties involved in the roleplay. Permission from all parties will be obtained and recorded.]
A Deal With the Devil: Ulaya can make deals with Azâzêl. Azâzêl has the ability to fulfill an ulaya's desires, but at the price of the ulaya's own soul. Should an ulaya make a deal with Azâzêl, his soul is subject to Azâzêl's manipulation, and that soul is essentially his puppet up until the ulaya dies. For example, if there is a blind ulaya who wishes to see again, Azâzêl can grant the ulaya sight; however, that ulaya is then commanded entirely by Azâzêl to do whatever Azâzêl pleases, regardless of the ulaya's own wishes, and the ulaya has no power to decide otherwise. These deals are made consciously by the other ulaya, and can only be made if the ulaya agrees completely and the deal is formally sealed in blood [Azâzêl cuts his arm open and the arm of the other ulaya, taking some of his blood and mixing it in the wound of the other ulaya]. Azâzêl cannot force ulaya into this deal; it is a deal that the other ulaya makes with him. Although, once that deal is made, it is binding. Once the ulaya dies, the ulaya's soul is wiped from existence.
[Note: This power will only ever be used in character with the permission of all parties involved in the roleplay. Permission from all parties will be obtained and recorded.]
Appearance
Should Azâzêl be raised, absolutely no changes, edits, or alterations of any sort will occur to his appearance. He will remain as he is now.

God Concept! Name of God: Thona
Domain: Seduction
Alternative Domains: His domain is already approved/reserved, His domain should still allow for Lust to exist, there's plenty of powers that would allow the two to function without overlapping each other.
Concept/Background
Thona will be ascending due to some god's twisted idea of making Thona a god. (Who would do this?! Crazy gods!) Mostly just getting his powers approved. I donno if I need to post what he is like, or what he will do, or why he is suited for this domain. xP BUT he will handle his domain like he handled anything before he gains his god-powers.
He will hardly use his powers and will focus more of those with less likely chance for his seduction aura to work, he likes a bit of a challenge. He's cruel and finds pleasure in torturing and hurting those around him. With his new powers, it'll help him achieve his goal in suffering of those he finds weak. He has pride over those who are strong, and looks down on females as nothing more than his toys. Of course, he may look at goddess females differently, but it's hard to say at the moment. He has only compassion for one mortal ulaya. As much as compassion as someone like him can have.
While he may seduce many ulaya, male and female, he will hardly breed with them. He is far more superior than his mortal self, and only those worthy of his glory could ever conceive children he could be proud to call his own. It's not his usual look upon this situation, but things change when given the power to make an actual difference in creating the army he always dreamed of having. Now he doesn't have to just rely on his seed, but also those he can seduce and persuade to do his dirty work. He fights side by side with Yin in the attempts to take over the land, of course that might not be Yin's idea, but it is Thona's. He will most likely fail in this attempt.
There's more, but I don't want to type anymore.
Powers
- Not including the god powers all gods get, assuming they're already unwrittenly there.
- These powers only will happen if asked upon it, or if I've been given permission. I will not do any powers of my god without everyone being okay with it.
Seduction Aura (Temporary Power): Seduces those weak minded easy, those who fall in love fast, and those who are easily hurt. Only when they're around him.This doesn't mean they'll sleep with him, just believe most of his lies. They do have a chance to "Break" the aura, especially if they don't fall under the list above.
Seduction fixation (Long-Term Curse): The Ulaya he places this curse will obsess over him til they die, or he decides to take it off them. He'll probably never use this because that's a cheap way to get in someone's pants. Strong curse, but other gods can remove it if they're kind enough, but then they might have to deal with his wrath. =D
Sensation Fixation (Long-Term Curse): Curses a ulaya to fixate on a certain sensation that is common with seduction. (Example: kissing, cuddling, ect). The curse effects everyone differently, so the type of fixation is up to them. Strong Curse, can only be taken off by Thona, or other gods with similar domains (Lust, Love, Fixation, Obsession, ect)
Appearance
Thona will basically look 90% the same as he does now. He'll be changed slightly, having hair, and a edited tail, and a head dress with feathers, his gem beads, and a horn. The horn isn't part of his body, and it's only an accessory.

God Concept! Name of God: Lucilius
Domain: Vanity
Alternative Domains: not interested in him being any other domain so im not going to list any others
Concept/Background
he is a concept i have from another shop ( SoA ) who i want to bring into jokoa. i have him in other shops as well and have permission to get him in other shops. he is vanity and his personality is basically solely around his domain
Powers
- Not including the god powers all gods get, assuming they're already unwrittenly there. these powers are also what he has in SoA.
- These powers only will happen if asked upon it, or if I've been given permission. I will not do any powers of my god without everyone being okay with it.
Not So Pretty (Temp Power): Being the god of vanity, he can't stand it if someone might be better looking than himself, even though he will always claim to think of himself as better looking. So if another is looking to make someone appear ugly so that they look good, he is more than willing to do so...for a few days.
Appearance is Everything (Long-Term Curse): If overly angered and jealous, he will curse another to be forever obsessed with their appearance. They can no longer see the beauty in anything but themselves, making their good looks a curse instead of a blessing since they will care for no one but themselves.
Appearance
like his SoA verson

God Concept! Name of God: Chelsea Grin
Domain: Madness
Alternative Domains: Insanity? o3o
Concept/Background
C.C. was already a goddess upon her initial creation as one of my OCs, but I wanted her in Jokoa so I had her created on the normal female lines.
C.C. is in her own world, usually never coming in contact with another unless it is to create disorder or disrupt their routine. She's very eccentric, often leaving before finishing a conversation and finding joy in little things, caring not if anyone else can agree. It takes a lot to upset her, as she's naturally inclined to find everything disruptive or aggressive funny.
Powers
Altering Reality (Temporary Power): In the presence of another Ulaya, she puts off waves of madness that can cause hallucinations or mental instability. These can be turned on or off, intensify or weaken at her whim. Nothing would bring harm to an ulaya from these abilities, unless the ulaya themselves were the cause. Strong-willed ulaya may be able to break out of the state if they can realize it isn't real.
Mad World (Long-Term Curse): With a simple touch, C.C. can drive someone insane, if they've somehow managed to make her angry even with her easy-going, mischievous and goofy personality. What kind of insane they become, however, depends on the workings of their own minds, and this curse can be removed by the goddess.
Appearance
See the image, as well as the following alterations.
Double cat tails, if permissible. If not, her current tail is fine.
Hair alteration to include Hime bangs, the rest flowing straight and long. [Click]
Wearing the following: [Click] ( Her markings will still be on her body, just not visible. )

God Concept! Name of God: Sea Dreamer
Domain: lucid dreams
Alternative Domains: don't really want her in any other ones
Concept/Background
She is a concept I created in Meardhon, I wanted to encompass my fave colors of blue,white and silver and my fave animal which is a dolphin into one b/c pet and she turned put fabulous and she is my proud and joy.
She is very different from the domain of flying dreams because she has the skill to falsely make someone feel and experience something new for example an out of the body experience, those moments when you have an epiphany after certain things happen. She has the capability to make a dreaming ulaya be aware of their surroundings. She does this by simply closing her eyes and mentally focusing on the dreaming ulaya through the technique of physical touch to provide the dreaming ulaya mental clarity and providing something unsual in the dreaming ulaya which lets them realize they are actually dreaming and that they are physically asleep but they are mentally clear.
She as the ability to make a ulaya fall asleep and allows them to realize what is going on around them. She does this my simply meditating and then touching the dreaming ulaya on the head and sending them relaxing vibes through her touch into the sleeping ulaya which allows them to go through and out of the body, where they use their imagination and allows them to explore outwardly places and ensures that she is with them so they have a guide during their experience while the ulaya is physically asleep.
Powers other then the default ones.
The ability to have a dreaming ulaya be aware of the fact that he/she is dreaming.
The ability to make a ulaya fall asleep but realize what is going on around them, similarly to a out of body experience.
Appearance
 
^Its me but this was when I was using a different username^
Silver bracers with little wings
Beaded head accesory with a star
Beaded tail accesory with a star

[I might not ascend Nuria, if I don't then It would be a goddess with similar coloring anyway and the edits I had described.] God Concept! Name of God: Nuria
Domain: Fire
Alternative Domains: Would rebirth be an overlapping domain? Since fire is a cause for rebirth? Plus when I think of fire I think of a Phoenix.
Concept/Background
She's always been the adventurous sort and I think it's just a twist of fate that she would ascend into a Goddess. Especially a Goddess of Fire. Her rebirth would be an interesting one. She'd be much like a phoenix in that aspect, as she'd be born of the ashes of her former self. The same would go when she dies (if/when that happens.) She'd have a vague remembrance of her mortal life but wouldn't dwell on it too much.
She'd definitely want to seek out the God who decided it would be interesting to ascend her, perhaps thank him or burn him. She'd be yet to decide on the matter.
She'd be a bit of a mischievous one, not really causing trouble for destruction purposes, more for her own amusement. It's not her fault if the wind might catch and create a plains fire or something of the sort.
Powers
Temp Powers:
Ability to create a flame from her person, does not last very long. (things could get a little hot if this happens, since the flames have the ability to spread if they catch something flammable.)
Ability to control an existing flame for a limited amount of time. (movement and shape only, not size)
Permanent Powers:
Ability to cause someone to attract or be immune (temporarily on both accounts) to fire.
Appearance
Basically she'll look the same, maybe change up her tail and make it longer and a little less fluffy? Narrow the tufts on the tip of her ears to make them not so fluffy as well. Extend her hair to about mid back length, but braided. Her facial expression should give her more of a devious/I swear I didn't do it look. If I can change the circlet, can you make it silver with a garnet colored gem in the center? And can we add wings? Kind of like phoenix wings? They'd be slightly opened, not fully extended and close to her back.
Are the god lines those standing lines I saw? If so, I think she'd look great on those. <3

God Concept!Name of God: Xiáng Huǒ 翔火 (Chinese characters for 'soar' and 'fire' its just his name)
Domain: Fire
Alternative Domains: I'm not really interested in another domain.
I considered 'Lava' but it doesn't have the same feel or appeal to me as Fire does.
'The Sun' is a possibility that I've been leaning towards more and more... appearance would remain the same.
Concept/Background
I always wanted Xiang to be the God of Fire. He is originally based off of the elemental Fiery (Firey) card from the manga/anime Cardcaptor Sakura, but has been a character I've loved and played extensively since getting him originally back in '06 ('08 in Jokoa). I consider him an OC now, but his entire existence as the character I play him as will always be well steeped in fire. Whether he is a loving guardian that bakes you cookies and tells you all will be well, a demon or a phoenix or a businessman who's life was irrevocably changed by magic (he didn't need his soul that much anyway), fire is always a part of him in some way.
In Jokoa, Xiang has always been a calm character. He waits and watches and doesn't interfere, most of the time. Maybe he has been a bit irresponsible in that respect, but as a god he's lived a long time. He knows fire isn't all about the rush and the flash, embers can lie in wait to burn anew.
I like the idea of Fire being much like a phoenix. I understand that Gods are immortal and don't age and die but I've been playing Xiang with the idea that he has grown old and I'd like his story to continue as him dying and being reborn into the new god form revealing that he was a god all along, just living out a mortal life the past time around.
Powers
I don't see Xiang as actively trying to curse or harm anyone. Fire isn't out to get you, it's not 'good' or 'evil' it just is.
Passive power
Warm body - Xiang is naturally very warm, his wings especially radiating heat. Whether the weather is hot or cold he always maintains this heat, like a walking furnace. He has the ability to tone it down or spike it up a few degrees but would probably not be super comfortable to be close to in the heat of a summer's day. In winter he melts snow just by walking through it or laying on it. He however never feels over warm by his own heat and enjoys basking in the sun however hot it already is.
Active power
Pyrokinesis - Xiang can control fire, starting it as well as putting it out with a thought. Lighting a candle would be a simple task. Maintaining a campfire against a windy night would be moderately difficult. Extinguishing or even partially suppressing a raging forest fire would take a lot of focus and energy to the point of exhaustion. Unless there were mortal lives at stake he would more than likely allow it to burn, understanding that fire is often a necessary cleansing for woods. Clearing out old leaf litter, adding ash and opening the canopy. (Of course regrowing the trees is someone else's domain entirely.)
His existence does not mean that no one could not be hurt or die in a fire, or that one could not build a fire without his approval, just that there's someone to call upon when there's danger, someone to believe in on cold winter nights.
Blessing/curse
Touch the Fire - Xiang could have the ability to touch a family line or a single ulaya with either the physical manifestation of fire, or the internalized fiery spirit. Examples; Kirara's, Aditya's and Hitsuka's lines.
This could be an IC reason for OOC design elements and IC 'powers' based around fire. While still leaving it up to the shop/character's player how the fiery element manifests.
Appearance
I would like him on the new lines. His design is simple. Very large wings are key. Some fire-like hair, but much longer and flowing. I really, really adore the jewelry already on the new god lines so I would not want the headpiece he has now to be edited in, moving away from his previous cosplay design in that respect. Maybe some long eye feathers for a tail, (phoenix/peacock-like feathers) and longer ears.

God Concept! Name of God: Atreyu
Domain: Dance
Alternative Domains: Song, Celebration, Music
Concept/Background
Atreyu is a naga OC of mine from a mythical world. In that world, he's the son of a lesser goddess of the festivals and a titan mist snake. While his Father was a rather destructive male, Atreyu leaned more towards his mother's blood. Dancing as alluring as a snake the male would celebrate with others during his Mother's favored Festivals. During the festivals to hide his identity the male would wear a mask. Different masks for each seasonal festival his mother favored.
While Atreyu does have his father blood in him, which means he easily will slip into the habit of hitting on someone he's dancing with. Perhaps even dance as he fights. He wants to embrace his Mother's blood more.
Powers
Mimicry~ Atreyu is able to copy the movements of others, sometimes [depending on how long he's known them] without looking. This can also be a verbal aspect of mimicry.
Illusion~ Atreyu's elemental asepct is by all accounts, Mist. Using this as he dances the male can conjure illusions of his own whim.
Shifting~ While he normally is half snake he can shift to a solid form of either.
Sudden Sound~ Using his body alone, Atreyu can create sound. His scales when met with friction create musical sounds.
Appearance
Atreyu is pure white in base coloring. With blue leopard spots on his underbelly [not the sides the underbelly--yes i have to stress this due to others], his tongue is forked and blue. Eyes are electric blue, silted silver and random flecks of color based on his mood. His hair starts out ice blue and fades into white, usually long and flows to cover his arse. Beads of random colors dot around the loose locks. Usually wears over-skirts of varying colors and one of these four masks.

God Concept! Name of God: Moorchha
Domain: Insanity
Alternative Domains: Oblivion
Concept/Background
Insanity has always been a thing of nature, and is as normal as can be. It simply was and so went unquestioned. However, all of that went out of the proverbial window at the dawn of sentience. With sentience came social structures and standards that needed to be followed. Any that did not fit that mold, any who exhibited behavior that were deemed unfit, unstable...insane. It was this moment that created life anew. Moorchha slipped free from the confines and bleakness of oblivion. The abnormalities of the mind and soul were the songs that lured him into existence and made him seek out those individuals. In need of sustenance he fed from the spiritually and psychically which resulted in his targets condition worsening. Moorchha is the reason that insanity...madness is not so rare. The moment sentient life is created, he is there...watching...waiting, nurturing the very elements that give way to the imbalance of the mind and soul. Slowly his company grows in numbers and he cherishes each individual that comprises it. It is said that misery loves company but so too does Moorchha and he shan't be alone.
Powers
Minor
Telepathy- Can mentally receive and/or transmit information.
Telekinesis - Can move objects with his mind.
Psychosis - If a ulaya is conflicted with their moral compass and must consider options that would be considered crazed or depraved in some way mentally, he can stimulate those thoughts, making their influence and likelihood of being acted upon happen.
Major
Insanity Manipulation - Can absorb, create, control, and manipulate Madness/Insanity of themselves, others or the madness energy around, whether increasing, decreasing, causing or otherwise chancing insanity, even manifesting the emotional energy to physical level and gain power from it.
Becomes stronger, faster, more durable, etc. by insanity of oneself and others, possibly unlocking abilities related to the affinity and enhancing the existing powers.
Boon - Those who have gained his favor will be granted his boon. In insanity they will find strength and gain the ability to manipulate insanity to some extent. However, such a gift comes with a heavy price. Slowly the wielder of this boon will slip into madness and when sanity has left them completely they will be agents of insanity. Their action have no rhyme or reason and they will truly be the harolds of his cause.

Eyes third one in center of forehead
