Anemos

Dicey Dangers, Core Rule

Game by Joel Hills

Anemos, Deity of Reflex

Anemos is the Deity of Reflex. They are the manifestation of wind itself in the form of a tiny fairy. Despite its size, Anemos has proven to be the best strategist the world has seen, even before it was given the title of deity. Anemos has been present in multiple wars, sometimes as an observer and in others helping as an indirect strategist. One could say that Anemos and Raiden are an antithesis of each other. Even if they have been involved in numerous wars throughout history, Anemos despises conflict and wishes for a world where peace and harmony would reign.

Physical appearance

Anemos rarely shows itself before mortals. However, some people claim to have seen them and describe them as a fairy covered in a green aura, with white long hair and an androgynous face. They wear a brown vest and a blue body suit that covers most of their skin, from neck to toes. As fairies don’t age and refuse to adapt to changes, all of the descriptions heard at the moment have been exactly the same.

History

Anemos isn’t the original Deity of Reflex. At first, they were a mere fairy that was born upon a wind breeze. After living for centuries as a nomad fairy, they found themselves at home when they met Zephyr, a mysterious hippogriff that moved with grace and swiftness through the air. Inspired by Zephyr’s movements, Anemos decided to become his disciple. Although their childish personality got in the way most of the time, the pair developed a strong bond over time. Anemos learned how to fly quicker by "disolving" their physical body and "becoming one with the wind." Their senses were also over-developed, allowing them to always find the best way to approach an oponent regardless of their tiny size. Throughout the time, Anemos proved their worth and abilities by getting involved in wars and helping solve conflicts. Their actions ended up giving them the title of "God of Diplomacy" by those that fought along their side. However, not everything was so great. As Anemos continued having contact with mortals, their relationship with Zephyr started falling apart. Their master believed that deities shouldn't get involved in mundane business, while Anemos believed that, as someone with abilities above the rest. Plus, they weren't a "real deity" yet. After a long and loud discussion, Anemos decided to leave Zephyr’s temple. However, after traveling for a while, they decided to come back and make amends. When they did, they encountered Zephyr’s dying body in the ruins of his temple. With his last breath, Zephyr blessed them with his spirit, and thus, Anemos became the Deity of Reflex. Although no one has seen them in a long time, it is said that Anemos wanders through the world looking for the responsible for their master’s death.
