Rating
Sexual Content 2: Sexual content is permitted. References and writing about genitalia and sex acts are permitted, but explicit detail is not. Fade to black, or use the dotdotdot rule. (Let's keep it PG-13.)
Violence 2: Graphic violence is permitted. Explicit description or in-game narration violence is allowed.
Despite these ratings, keep in mind that there is a limit, and you should not cross it just to garner attention. Also, resorting to curse words is also like adding senseless fluff to your posts.

Strife
"The Changing God"
The Bio
Real Name: Strife, Strive, Stride
Title: The god of conflict, struggle, competition, survival, violence, self-improvement, ambition, and determination
Age: 8000
Gender: Male
Race: Avatar
The Looks
Strife is a divine being who constantly shapeshifts his appearance to resemble all types of people from all kinds of paths in life. One moment he can be an aging veteran warrior and the next breath he is a young woman studying to be a doctor. His form constantly changes to match his mood and whatever he finds fascinating about humanity at the given moment.
His true form is a being of unrelenting, destructive, and chaotic power. A lithe and muscular humanoid form with red molten skin. Arcs of raw, unadulterated power arcs off his form in lightning currents. His very form looks like it can barely contain the sheer power he is outputting and his body is disintegrating under the strain. Frayed and ragged cloth pants and rope bindings cover his lower have while a damaged hood and cloak cover his featureless face and glowing orange eyes.
The Personality
Unlike his brother, Justice, Strife is easygoing and not hung up on his origin of being. To him, being a god isn’t about being superior or enforcing their domain. The meaning is to represent the absolute peak of their domain and nurture the fledgling races to grow and improve.
He loves humanity and believes humans are capable of so much greatness and is constantly impressed by their achievements over the thousands of years he has walked amongst them. Unlike Justice, he strives to learn from mortals, understand their viewpoints and struggles, and watch as they adapt and overcome seemingly any obstacle. He firmly believes they have come so far since their beginning and have enjoyed all the little things humanity has to offer.
While he does have an adoration for mortals he does not comfort them like his sister god, Compassion. To him, comforting mortals as they are down and in need would be to rob them of their chance to overcome their struggles and come out better and stronger for it. He may offer guidance but he will not save you.
The Story
Justice, my brother. I am writing to you in the hope I can get through to you. You do not allow me entry into your domain, nor do you talk to me these days so I am trying my hand at writing to you.
I know about your plans for the world and your feelings towards humanity. I am the god of ambition after all. I must insist that you do not commit to your plan and launch this “grand crusade” of yours. There are several reasons as to why this is a terrible idea.
Firstly, you will never be satisfied. Even if you do conquer everything and impose your order, your expectations are far, far too high, and demanding. The only way for humanity to even remotely come close to your “perfection views” is if you remove free will itself, making life effectively lifeless and devoid of all meaning. How can any god be satisfied when they rule over a dead race?
Secondly, they are a young race still, only a few thousand years old. They are still in their growing pains and it is absurd to write them off as a lost cause at this point. Just look at how quickly they have advanced in the last 2000 years alone. I have high hopes that in the next 2000 years, they will become truly spectacular.
Lastly, you are strong brother, but do not think you are free to do whatever you wish. Many otherworldly entities and cosmic powers have great interest in the world and will be opposed to your plans, myself and your sister included. It has been millennia since we last sparred but do not believe you can best me in single combat, let alone everyone else. We may be gods, but we are not omnipotent, and even we may struggle, so dictates my domain.
Those are my main points for why this is a terrible idea but I want to stress that I write not to threaten you but to give you some sage advice. I understand your frustrations with mortals but you do not walk amongst them as I do. You do not see them struggle as I do. You do not see their talent as I do. You only look at the final result and care solely about the outcome. Not the methods, not the challenges, nor the ingenuity to get as close as they do.
You think I am embarrassing myself for walking side by side with mortals but I argue it gives perspective. For the past 8000 years, I have watched as they fought back against the dark with fire, invented works of art like pottery, poetry, and war, and saw them unite for a common purpose time and time again. Mortals are weak and pale compared to the divine but they have the will and the drive to become so much more.
Do not do this brother. I instead offer you the chance to walk with me amongst those mortals you think so lowly of. Let me be your guide and show you the good and the bad about them. You shall see mothers nurturing their children, architects building great monuments, and the fire in their eyes as they fight. Either that or I beat some sense into you like a good brother should. I await your response.
--Strife
The Powers
Godlike: Strife is nigh indestructible and unstoppable. He is conflict made mannifest and this is incredibly powerful. At his true power he can destroy entire mountain ranges with a wave of his sword and move faster than teleportation. Only greater gods and cosmic beings stand a chance of beating him in direct combat. He cannot truly die as long as there is conflict in reality.
Mastery of War: Strife embodies the relentless pursuit of struggle, fighting, and adversity. He is the undisputed master over any area of competition and combat with instant mastery and perfection over any weapon, technique, or strategy invented.
Divine Struggle: No barriers, obstacles, rules, or prisons can contain Strife. He will always be able to struggle against any limit or confinement put on him and overcome it nearly instantly.
Conflict Domain: In his true form, Strife can unleash his true power and temporarily cause everything in a 100-mile area to fall under his domain. In his domain, he can “kill” anything at its conceptual level such as killing the wind to remove all air or killing the distance between him and his enemy putting them next to each other.
The Weaknesses
Divine Bypass: Divine weaponry or attacks from cosmic/divine beings can bypass Strife’s indestructibility and wound him.
Unstable Power: Strife can only maintain his true form for so long and will eventually need to recharge his divine energy.
Challenge: Strife believes that life is all about struggling and challenges. He will not go all out and unleash his true power unless the challenge is great enough. He will limit himself so that any encounter he is in is challenging for him.
World of Peace: Conflict empowers Strife but just as easily as it empowers him it can drain him. If the world is experiencing peace he will be drained. His full power can only happen if there is great enough conflict.
The Items
Tribulation: An everchanging godly sword that is capable of becoming any weapon or tool. It is indestructible and will always return to Strife. It is capable of bypassing almost all defenses save for those caused by reality warping.
