The One Great Master Ottom

Ottom is the first God in the Gymnitism religion, Father of all Godesses and the only male deity. He is the Master of Battles, the God of Wrath, the Avenger. He is frequently represented as a black hand holding a bolt. Bolting People around is his most frequently used punishment to the sinners.

Ottom will punish you even if you re innocent, if his eyes fall upon you, you won t get away without a bolt or the least a painful warning. His followers fear him but praise his name because they know they owe their existence to him.

Ottom can burn you like Fire, he can purify you like Water, he surrounds you like air and he is the earth you walk on and live on. He created the world and he can ruin it as well if he wishes to. Don t challenge him!

Mythology says that Ottom was a black haired Giant, with a perfect body and skills in war unmatched. He always fought and wandered alone in the world he created in order to see if the People were free and if the People used his gift right or if they abused it.

But one day he faced a great enemy. COD!

COD was a Deamon. He was too good looking for a Deamon, he had pointy ears and long white hair, but he was a savage in heart. COD was trying to steal the world of Ottom by converting his followers with tricks and false promises. Ottom got mad! But he was also smart! He knew he couldn’t face this alone, not because He wasn’t capable but because even if He was God He was only One and He couldn’t do this work all alone.

So from His own divine body,3 Goddesses came out. Lustia, Democratia and Freedomia. That day the whole world trembled, for the pain of Ottom was great. Every Goddess coming out of Him took with her one part of Ottom’s body.

Lustia took His heart. Democratia took His head and Freedomia His hand.

The 3 Goddesses though remained chained to His body and the four of them fought COD and one great day they won. And the People breathed freely again and Ottom decided that He and the 3 Goddesses would become the Protectors of the People because just creating them wasn’t enough.

The goddesses got free from Ottom s body and each of them chose her own way to protect the People.

Ottom and his remaining hand are up to something...

Rumours say that Ottom still visits the people although in only extremely rare cases that His supremely divine intervention is required. He’s wearing a cloak to conceal himself as otherwise it is rather easy to recognize him (he’s missing a head, heart and hand after all). But He doesn’t care a lot for his missing parts, as the remaining hand is black and holds a bolt.
