Saga of 6Nations List of Characters

After slightly more than one month, I have finally come to the end of the main bulk of the list of characters of Saga of 6Nations. All the main 28 (plus 1) characters done. Of course, there are still other factions not yet written on, such as the Neutrals, Miscellaneous Entities, and of course, the Pantheon of the Gods. After I release Chapter 0, I shall not be doing any more daily posts on the Saga anymore. Go mug for A levels (and play). After all, I have a life too =)

Neutrals
In other words, these are the avaricious, profit-seeking, money-grubbing mercenaries on the side which pays the highest. Their own skins (preferably complete) would probably have the highest value. The other category of neutrals will be the innocent bystanders who quietly mind their own business in their own ignorant, little worlds, sitting ducks waiting to get owned. The last category one you wouldn’t want to talk about. Ever. Think Roshan.

Guest Characters
Obviously, people of the 6Nations provide poor hospitality, keeping all the fun of fighting and dying horribly on the battlefield to themselves, rather than politely letting the guests join in all the blood and gore, as all well-bred hosts are supposed to do.

Miscellaneous Entities

Pantheon of Gods
A number of omnipotent, omnipresent, omnidextrous, omnidimensional, omniglorious, but not necessarily wholly omniscient entities of Sixan, they made themselves known to the people of Sixan shortly after their immigration, demanding worship in exchange for divine service (of course, with a degree of uncertainty. Where was the thrill in having divine intervention all the time?). Operating on an oligopolistic basis, the gods continually try to maneuver for more worshipers through methods like non-price competition, or collusion. Apparently, the power and influence of gods are dependent on the number of believers they possess, thus explaining the eventual creation of New Gods to accommodate new demand. Although capable of omnipresence, most gods prefer to limit themselves to a single location, as even gods find it rather tiresome simultaneously attending to all prayers streaming in from the lowest microcolony of ants between two blades of grasses to the mighty dragons in their mountain dwellings.

Author’s Note: The Philosophist Skizzik theorized that omnipotence was inversely related to omniscience shortly before his unfortunate demise under suspicious circumstances. Sadly, his hypothesis was never followed up nor confirmed. As to the matter of claiming money for insurance, the insurance company refused to pay, staunchly denying the probability that storm clouds could have naturally formed in Skizzik’s study of their own accord, and attributing the numerous lightning bolt marks on the carpet to “Act of Gods”.

Fizzik Cis Sonic – Arguably the most fRantastic of the New Gods, Fizzik Cis inspires an almost fRanatical devotion in his followers. Answering the prayers of his followers on a daily basis, it is perhaps because he feels an obligation to do so, seeing that he fervently believes in a highest entity and understands the position of his devotees. Known to walk the world in the mortal incarnation of SuperSonic sometimes (which rather conveniently allows him to travel at supersonic speeds), Fizzik Cis Sonic was the one who created the board game DotA and introduced it to the people of Sixan, seeing that they were lacking in purpose and a fulfilling life. As a result, his popularity has increased tenfold as the ranks of his followers swelled, allowing him to become beyond godlike.

*I will not release the rest of the Pantheon of the Gods on this blog until A levels are over and I can work on them (and also after my testimonial has been written). I only released Fizzik Cis' character due to personal demand.

Note: A change of story (saving a particular character from death, humiliation, or other undesirable outcomes, changing the course of love, etc.) will require a highly discounted fee of SGD$10.00. Includes charges for plot changes, change of characterization, repayment to insurance company (if any), hiring a skilled wizard of the highest order, purchase of love / anti-love potions, elixirs of life, use of time machines, and GST.

Disclaimer: All characters in this story, living, dead, or undead, are entirely fictional and possess little resemblance to any person in real life.

END
