Locutus Ferox
Locutus Ferox Was the first god of nature. He is the one who granted Werebeasts their power, separating them from other Humans. It is unknown where he came from or how he attained his position initially (as it is with most Gods and Goddesses), but he held that position throughout history up until recently. With the exception of a few individuals, namely the gods, and the now recently departed Ca'guuror, no one is sure why the longstanding god of Nature vanished. Recently however he has reattained some of his power, much to the curiosity of all. Locutus can often be found wandering in nature, communicating with the very earth as is his way. He is an expert tracker, and has even seemed to become one with his domain, moving about seemlessly through almost any natural environment.
Hero/Heroine of Locutus Ferox:
Those who please Locutus Ferox significantly might become a Hero/Heroine of Locutus Ferox; that is, they will be granted blessings that vary by tier. Each tier of this nature is progressively more beneficial than the last, and past blessings are retained.
Keeper of the Glade - The first tier of official favor has been gained from Locutus Ferox. Keepers of the Glade have been marked with a tribal tattoo of jungle green in the design of a creeper vine that wraps around their right arm. They have the ability to move silently through the wilds and to climb objects swiftly, being blessed with the 'Keeper of the Glade' ability.
Leader of the Pack - The second tier of official favor has been gained from Locutus Ferox. Pack leaders play an important role in nature, bringing order to the otherwise rampant chaos of pack society. As such they are given the natural ability to bring order to creatures as well as retaining the blessing of the glade. Pack leaders are granted the ability Beast Call, which is further enhanced by allowing them to summon a group or 'pack' of animals. The number of animals summon is often dependant on the type of animal they are blessed with, and is decided by Locutus Ferox. Pack Leaders are marked with a Jungle Green tattoo in the shape of the footprints of the animal they are blessed with. These have the tendency to navigate around the chest and appear in a different spot every time they're viewed.
Nature's Sentinel - The third tier of official favor has been gained from Locutus Ferox. Nature's Sentinels have been marked with a tribal tattoo of a black Raven that appears animate. This raven will 'watch' whomever gazes upon it, moving to keep the person in sight. They have the benefits attained at the prior two tiers, but are also granted with the ability to see through any non-sentient, naturally-animated creature within a 50 mile radius, allowing them to see what is going on for a good distance in any direction.
Nature's Reaper - The fourth tier of official favor has been gained from Locutus Ferox. Nature's Reapers are guardians of the wilds. As such they need abilities for which to allow them to fulfill their duties. Nature's Reapers are granted the extraordinary ability of Elemental Mastery. Locutus Ferox grants Nature's Reapers the mastery over a single element of his choosing, granting them full power of the chosen element. These powers must be used wisely, else may be lost if abused. Nature's reapers are marked with an animate tattoo of a symbol of the element granted (lightning, fire, wave, snow flake, tornado, and a surprise) flanked by trees. This tattoo takes up their entire back.
Accursed of Locutus Ferox:
Those who anger Locutus Ferox significantly might become Accursed; that is, they will be inflicted with curses that vary by tier. Each tier of the Accursed is progressively more dangerous than the last.
Nature's Prey - The first tier of the Accursed has been cast by Locutus Ferox. Those who have become nature's prey will find themselves unwelcomed in natural environments. Insects, creatures, and even the land itself seems to act against these individuals. Insects and animals may see the accursed as prey. Trees groan as they communicate the passage of this individual, and one may even find branches smacking them in the face out of nowhere, causing scratches. Loose ground may give way and rocks might fall before the accursed, letting them know they are no longer welcomed. Natural injuries suffered by the accursed of Locutus Ferox have a higher chance of catching dangerous infection.
Instinct - The second tier of the Accursed has been cast by Locutus Ferox. With this tier, the Accursed's basic primal instincts are heightened becoming more difficult, though not impossible, to control. Those of weaker minds often succumb quickly to the "call of the wild", turning into the animals, in behavior, that they wronged. Those of stronger may manage to overcome these desires, though it takes great concentration.
Break - The third tier of the Accursed has been cast by Locutus Ferox. Being the God of Nature, Locutus Ferox isn't greatly fond of civilization or technology. Therefore, he does not want to see it being employed by mortals beyond what is necessary, believing that Nature can suffice for any mortal with the will to attempt to do so. All mechanical objects will, from this point on, break catastrophically upon Accursed's touch.
Forsaken - The fourth tier of the Accursed has been cast by Locutus Ferox. Those who have put themselves this far at odds with Locutus Ferox will find that nature has abandoned them entirely. All nature based abilities (Except innate) including those given through prayer will no longer function for those Forsaken by Nature. (Includes: Beast call, Blizzard, Earthquake, Electricity control, Eruption, Eternal day/everlasting night, Fire control, Ice control, Plant control, Water control, Wind control)
