(A little late to the party, haha)
Name: Kovan
Gender: Male
Title: God of Illusions, Perception, sometimes God of Deceit and Chaos, and The Snake in some religions.
Personality: A capricious individual, Kovan’s personality and interests shifts and alters like the nature of his power. One day he would be spreading havoc and destruction amongst the human world, the next he would be contented with simply perfecting his next illusion. Before the loss of his power, his appearance would morph constantly, based on his every whim. However, everyone who ever met Kovan would agree that he has a constant love for trickery and deception, and would always enjoy a good prank, even if it is done to him.
Kovan also has a tendency to appear in places where he does not belong, usually in a dangerous place or situation. Some may call it courage, others call it foolishness, but usually it is the fault of his insatiable curiosity. He feels compelled to find out what he does not know, to delve into forbidden places or summon a monstrous beast just to observe it up close. Fortunately, he usually manages to weasel his way out using his powers.
Despite what many cultures believe, Kovan is not of a malicious nature, but merely mischievous and immature at times. However, no matter what his intentions are, it is undeniable that Kovan's actions may result in terrible consequences, and many humans hate him and despise him. In many of their legends, he was the evil force that had to be punished or vanquished by heroes or Major gods.
Appearance: In many cultures, Kovan is depicted with slitted eyes, and a body that is half man and half animal, usually reptiles or birds. In some cultures, he may have bat wings or horns, and sometimes even depicted as a woman. In reality, he does not have a fixed appearance as a god. He cloaks himself in illusions so that he could alter his appearance based on his ever-changing desires.
Kovan’s human appearance, however, is surprisingly plain and normal. He appears to be a man in his early twenties, average in height and stature, though rather on the thin side. His features are unremarkable and forgettable, and people who do not know him well would not be able to pick him out in a crowd. His dark brown hair is short and neatly brushed back, his eyes are a shade of brown so dark that they appear almost black. When he lost his power, he found himself wearing a white T-shirt and beige pants, to complete the whole look. The best illusions are often those that are the most believable.
Crush: None yet
Lover: None yet
Other: Due to over reliance on his power as a god, he is rather useless in many things as a human, such as in a fight. Kovan is also somewhat vain and prideful, evident from his changing appearances.
