Maquetaurie Guayaba (mah-keh-tow-REE guh-YAH-bah)
Mesoamerican Deity
Maquetaurie Guayaba
Maquetaurie Guayaba walks softly between the breath and the last, ruling the realm of the dead not with terror, but with dignity and stillness. To the Taíno, he was not a grim end, but a solemn guide—a presence who received souls into Coaybay, the western cave beyond the sunset where ancestors dwell. He was a keeper of memory, of stories no longer spoken, and of the quiet rhythms of the afterlife. His power lay not in punishment, but in the balance between life and the necessary dark that frames it.
Often appearing in the dreams of shamans or the silences that follow mourning chants, Maquetaurie Guayaba governs a realm of flickering torches and soft echoes, where the dead are honored and preserved. He is a god not of fear, but of reverence.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
In humanoid form, Maquetaurie Guayaba bears the appearance of a tall, lean man with skin like rich obsidian, adorned in white body paint that traces sacred patterns along his chest and arms. His eyes shine pale and moonlit, evoking the still surface of midnight waters. A headdress of bat wings folds against his shoulders, and a mantle of bones and polished shells whispers softly as he moves. Though rarely speaking aloud, his presence brings immediate hush and stillness to any space.
Mental characteristics
Sexuality
Maquetaurie Guayaba’s sexuality is introspective and somber, rooted in emotional depth and enduring connection. He does not seek lovers for pleasure or escape, but for remembrance—for anchoring meaning in life’s fleeting beauty. He is drawn to those who carry grief with grace, who honor what has passed without being consumed by it. Love with him is a ritual: tender, shadowed, and eternal.
