Name: Qhymdite
Aliases/Titles: Dirt-Mother, Lady Suffocation, The BuriedWidow Bride, The Sleeper.
Domains: Earth (stone, dirt, ores, crystal, bedrock, magma etc.), Dreams/Nightmares, Rest (sleep, unconscious, nap), Stasis/preservation
Appearance: (Like the earth shifting from restful peace to violent destruction, Qhymdite's form shifts with her mood and dream state.)
Sleeping/inert: Qhymdite's default state, and core physical form. It rests deep below the earth, at the very center of the planet. This form projects her Dream and Nightmare forms while sleeping.
Lucid Dreaming: unlike her core, the dream form is free to move about the realm and interact with Gods and mortals. She appears as a beautiful bride with blue skin and dark hair, as if suffocated. Her eyes are always closed, like a sleepwalker, but she is capable of sensing everything around her and interacting with people and things. Dreams of other sleepers will follow her like blue butterflies.
Nightmare: when thoughts turn to darkness, the dream becomes the nightmare. She is similar to the Dream, with her veil turning black like the shadows of the earth. Her crown of metal flowers becomes dark spikes and the dreams that follow her become terrible and twisted.
Awake: when the core "sleeping/inert" form awakens, destruction follows. Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes are created during these angry outbursts as Qhymdite awakens and exits her earthen rest. This form is used when she is threatened, or is angered enough to knock her out of sleep. When her anger fades she will fall back asleep and return to the earth. She is capable of movement, leaving trails of magma in her wake.
Personality: Qhymdite is deeply fascinated by mortal creatures and easily falls in love with them. When wandering in her dreams, she has met many mortals whose hearts have been snared by her godly beauty, and she is just as quickly transfixed. To her anguish these relationships are bound to end as they age. Qhymdite is horrified at the degradation of time and uses her powers to 'preserve their beauty' forever. She buries her lovers alive in the earth, turning them to precious minerals so they can be with her forever. Strangely, her spontaneous affection does not apply to other gods, who she seems to have little interest in.
This obsession with preventing the loss that comes with time and change has lead her to repeat this process with almost anything that strikes her as beautiful or precious. She will stumble upon wonderful beast and wish to have its beauty last forever. There has even been an instance when she noticed one of her favourite mortal towns changing and got so upset by this that she buried it and it's inhabitants to keep it the way she loved it.
The majority of precious minerals are these preserved things, with veins growing from them in time. She is protective of all her buried 'treasures' and will be violent if she notices something trying to dig them up. However, as the number grows it becomes more difficult for Qhymdite to notice the absence until it is too late. Her precious things are long digged up, broken down, and used by mortals before she even notices. When done without her notice she cannot tell what mortal dug it and cannot find anyone to punish. Typically she will just erupt into a rage, such as an earthquake, until her anger runs out and she falls back asleep. She will notice large mining operations and destructive means (such as explosions or cave ins) making it quite dangerous to mine large amounts at once unless she is distracted. It is generally safe to mine veins (offshoots) of her treasures, but nothing compares to the quality and quantity of her actual treasures.
In the instances when she catches someone digging up her precious treasures, even accidentally while creating a mine shaft... only open skies can save them from her rage.
Likes: dark weather, rain, deep water, darkness, walls on every side, being safe under dirt, mortal creatures
Dislikes: change, age, being awake, open areas, cloudless skies, her preserved 'treasures' being dug up and stolen
Fears: change, the loss of things she loves, loneliness
Signature Powers: creating or collecting dreams and nightmares, sleep inducement, earth manipulation, earthquakes, avalanches, volcanic eruptions, turning creatures and things into precious stone/metal, preserving things in stone, creation of minerals, cave ins, suffocation through burial, etc.
Skills: master sculpture, creating dream/nightmare manifestations
