Odin (OH-din)

Indo-European Deity

Odin (a.k.a. Lugus (Celtic))

Odin is the far-seeing wanderer, a god cloaked in riddles and crowned with sacrifice. His relentless quest for wisdom led him to hang nine nights on the World Tree and give an eye for the wellspring of knowledge. He is war-father and rune-master, stirring the fury of battle with one hand while tracing the fates of kings and poets with the other. Where ravens wheel, so too does his attention, ever drawn to the crossroads of power and fate. His presence is felt in the hush before war-cries, in the stillness before a prophecy unfolds. He is not a god of peace, but of understanding the price of peace. His stories are not tales of comfort, but of consequences—earned insight bought with blood and breath. He teaches that to rule well is to endure, and to endure is to know what others will not dare to see.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Odin appears most often as a tall, weathered man with a long gray beard, his remaining eye keen as fire beneath a heavy hood. His humanoid form is noble but bears the wear of eternity—cloaked in ash and storm, with broad shoulders and a staff in hand. His missing eye gleams not with absence, but with something deeper, a void that sees. Accompanied by wolves and ravens, he is both regal and ragged, king of the in-between.

Mental characteristics

Sexuality

Odin’s sexuality is entwined with mystery and strategy—neither bound by expectation nor driven by passion alone. He courts through insight, seduces through secrets, and loves as a test of transformation. Gender is a tool in his hand, like the runes he mastered, and intimacy a mirror of knowledge—shared only with those who dare seek more than comfort.
