Arukvai

Arukvai is the Arunta God of the Dead and Lord of Eravos. He is one of four pillar gods to the Arunta Pantheon. Although rather passive, he is seen with fear by most of his fellow Arunta Gods and worshippers for his control over death and immense power.

History
Arukvai was born to Ravai, another Death God, and acted as a psychopomp by guiding the souls of the dead to the afterlife. He continued his duties by reaping souls after the first humans died, and was one of many who was tasked with the complete decommissioning of deceased daimons and spirits.

After thousands of years, Arukvai was offered a place within the Arunta Pantheon by Xaran to oversee their afterlife, a role he accepted quickly. Along with Xaran, Foram, and Phione, Arukvai built for themselves Eravos to fit the preferred afterlife for their followers. He was later left alone to govern his domain, forcing him to create lesser gods and daimons to prevent complete loneliness.

Personality
Arukvai is greatly detached from the mortal world and that of most other gods, which slowly turned him into one that seeks to spend his time managing Eravos, its denizens, and seeking knowledge. Due to his isolation, he is relatively friendly to those he meets if they show themselves capable of doing the same. Arukvai genuinely believes that those who are dead should stay dead enough so that he created the Keepers of the Dead to hunt down those who broke his will. He is only willing to revive others under special circumstances.

Powers & Abilities

 * Immortality: Arukvai is a god who has a potentially infinite lifespan, immune to the effects of ageing and diseases that effects non-divine beings. While his physical body can sustain damage, his soul will continue to survive unless directly assault. As a god, he can only be killed through sufficiently powerful magic, or by the power of other gods. Since he is the Arunta God of Eravos, he is essentially immortal as long as he remains within his domain of death.


 * Necromancy: As a Death God, Arukvai can control the souls of the dead and summon them as spirits. The overall number of spirits he can control is much larger than the current number who resides within his domain.


 * Soul Manipulation: As a god who oversees the souls of the dead in the afterlife, Arukvai can extract souls from a person's bodies, killing them. He could also bind them and manipulate the properties of a soul.
 * Resurrection: Arukvai can revive the deceased by rebuilding their bodies and returning their souls shortly after. Although he can, he is rarely brought those who died back to life.


 * Magic: Arukvai possesses exceptionally potent magic and a nigh-bottomless reserve of energy to call upon to use in spells and rituals. Due to his isolation, Arukvai gathers knowledge from among the dead, including magical knowledge and the arts of combat related to it.

Equipment

 * Staff: By using his staff as a catalyst, Arukvai can gain a massively greater control over the souls of the dead and his own magic. His staff has been forged with various enchantments and materials that enhances its power.
