Arka

This is Arka. She is one of the three "man-made Gods", and the third to be created after the immortal Tsanner Daetsel and psychic Twenty-One. She started out as a human, who joined an extremely devout sect of the religion Viefda. Within days of her initiation, the Engu Jehal priests realized that she may be the catalyst that some of their recent prophecies had spoken of, and she was swept off to the war-torn world of Solphane.

Solphane was a recently colonized world on the edge of the human holdings, and mercenaries from a radical Christian group had been fighting the Engu for control of it's northern continent for years. When the world was initially colonized, an artificial vault was found in the foothills of a massive mountain. The vault contained an immense human skeleton, over three hundred feet tall. The Engu Jehal thought it to be the physical incarnation of Vief's mortal form, and immediately laid claim to the area, erecting a temple over the site and fortifying it from any outsiders. However, when the Niagara Redchurch heard about their find, they immediately moved to take the site by any means, believing it to be the final resting place of a fallen angel.

The rest of the story will come with the final version of this piece, to be finished soonish.

Arka's current form was inspired by my awesome girlfriend, who has epic hair and sometimes floats gracefully through space.
