Velocitus
Divine Domains
Velocity
Tenets of Faith
The process for accessing Velocitus’s magic is deceptively straightforward, though applied with little consistency. In essence, he provides a life-saving boon to those who regularly flirt with mortal danger, requiring them to face near-death scenarios multiple times per month. Should an individual meet this condition, they gain his spells at an initially appealing cost. Yet these agreements have been abruptly canceled without warning, while others remain active years after a devotee’s last recorded brush with death.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Velocitus appears to be in peak form, primed for endurance and raw speed. Tightly coiled muscle spans his raptor-like legs and feathered torso, suggesting a high-energy metabolism. Though imposing in height, he moves with a poised, predatory ease that hints at an underlying surge of explosive power.
Body Features
Velocitus stands at an estimated 6'8" and appears lean yet powerful, evidently built for high-speed movement. Observers note broad shoulders tapering into a narrow waist, where small vent-like openings accent his ribcage, and cobalt feathers clustered across his shoulders, neck, and upper torso. His arms end in three agile talons seemingly suited for quick grappling or balance, while his raptor-like legs, curved at the joint, appear primed for explosive bursts of speed. Although his frame carries ample muscle, every line suggests a design focused on agility.
Facial Features
Velocitus appears to have an avian head resembling predatory birds, with a slight snout-like protrusion. His cobalt eyes, tight at the pupils, sit under a tapered brow, lending him a sharp, focused gaze. In place of hair, a short crest of cobalt feathers extends into intake vents near the nape.
Physical quirks
Velocitus often shifts his weight restlessly, as though perpetually coiled to bolt at any second. An airy rustle of cobalt feathers accompanies each subtle movement, and his crested crown flares ever so slightly when he’s on high alert.
Apparel & Accessories
Velocitus conjures his attire from solidified magical energy, seamlessly mimicking earthly materials, often sleek leathers, polished metals, or lightweight fabrics. He prioritizes style over raw practicality, layering sharp lines and eye-catching details reminiscent of a streamlined sports car. Despite forgoing optimal aerodynamics, his conjured ensembles visually suggest speed and sophistication. Whether adopting the look of a tailored suit or a high-tech athletic uniform, each design complements his avian silhouette, hugging his frame with carefully crafted contours. Having perfected this art over centuries, Velocitus can effortlessly adapt his “wardrobe” on a whim, always maintaining that balance of striking flair and fluid mobility.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Velocitus has been observed through centuries, moving with such speed that no place or period can definitively claim him. Accounts situate him across Eurasia, Africa, and even in the Americas during a short window between 120 and 70 BC. When asked why he never shared his knowledge of those lands, he offhandedly replied, “Slipped my mind”. Still, every record confirms his overarching aim: to bring to the brink of mortal peril, then ensure they return to recount their brush with death.
Employment
Although Velocitus has entered into numerous high-stakes contracts with mortals, he has never truly cultivated a formal cult. Instead, loosely gathered circles of admirers emerge around him, yet few would label them organized worship. Those who do manage to secure his attention often gain truly magical feats of speed or might—though records show that many of these agreements were forged with little long-term planning or concideration.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Even without a formalized cult, Velocitus’s influence spans the galaxy, inspiring countless followers who crave the near-fatal thrill he embodies. These loosely connected devotees demonstrate that the electrifying pull of impending danger resonates across species, uniting all who draw breath in their pursuit of that rush.
Failures & Embarrassments
Across various eras, Velocitus has repeatedly tried to establish an organized cult to further his ideals, yet inadequate planning, scant incentives, and limited engagement on his part have caused each of these endeavors to collapse before truly taking hold.
Intellectual Characteristics
In his BREIF appearances at official pantheon gatherings, where divine proceedings are carefully chronicled, Velocitus displays a remarkable intellect and deep reserves of knowledge. Yet, these same accounts also show his struggle to remain engaged with any single thought long enough to exploit his full mental capacity. Scholars suggest his perpetually fast-paced existence, tied to his domain of velocity, undercuts potential long-term achievements. Despite glimpses of brilliance, he rarely focuses sufficiently to produce truly lasting results.
Morality & Philosophy
True to his whirlwind existence, Velocitus maintains a slipshod approach to any philosophy beyond his core ambition. When probed on contentious divine matters-murder, worship, or justice-his stances seem to shift at a whim. Attempts at serious inquiry often prove futile; he tends to vanish mid-interview the moment his fascination wains, leaving crucial questions glaringly unanswered.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
According to ancient lore, Velocitus first tasted the exhilaration of near-death in an era predating recorded history. From that day forward, accounts depict him tirelessly striving to share that perilous rush with every age and corner of the world.
Personality Quirks
It's said that Velocitus body is constantly making energy making it quite impossible for him to ever sit still no matter the occasion.

Speech
Velocitus’s speech patterns remain hard to parse. He may converse fluidly in modern dialects one moment, only to sprinkle in phrases that have been dead for centuries the next, leaving having conversation a pace with him a perpetual uphill battle.
