Description

Nyxaros is a fluid being whose form never remains constant, yet always maintains a strange beauty. Their base form has skin like quicksilver with rainbow refractions, but they shift through countless variations. Their eyes remain constant - deep pools of possibilities that show glimpses of other forms.

Adaptable and understanding, Nyxaros empathizes with all forms of life. Their voice changes to match their current form. They help others find their true selves through change.

Divine Bonds

Nyxaros shares a deep bond with their brother Thaxior, both connected through their domains of transformation. Their love for Cernun, the horned god of nature, bridges the realms of shapeshifting and the wild forest.

These relationships reflect Nyxaros's nature - constantly changing yet maintaining meaningful connections that transcend any single form.

Divine Purpose

Nyxaros moves between different societies and forms, learning and teaching the value of adaptation. They create sanctuaries where people can safely explore their identity, free from judgment.

Their worship is found among shapeshifters, those questioning their identity, and all who understand that the self is not fixed but always becoming. Their temples are spaces of acceptance and transformation.
