The first thing one would notice about Pious is the beings body build. Pious dresses with his chest and abs on display, not to gloat more that he grew up in a temperate place so the concept of cover was a bit unusual for him. The male is the embodiment of the description “You can grind meat on those”, his abs are well defined. The second thing would be his eyes, still shining with his Mortal vigor that divinity only seemed to enhance his eyes are the perfect color of the sharpest shade of green caught in the sun’s peak light. He rarely smiles unless it is in the presence of his innocent daughter or similar beings. His flaxen hair was odd in his region, proof his blood was from more north. His darkly tanned skin was proof of his days under the sun’s touch.
He stands at about 15ft tall when he’s condensing himself. Usually standing with his hands on his hips or crossed over his broad chest. He has a barrel chest with hips to match. He is a pure muscle build. Pious tends to sit with his legs splayed open, given he wears harem pants with a wide cloth belt, it's more to air out his thighs because thigh burn sucks. He wears a series of cloth pouches around his waist, always has a gord or two of Heavenly Drink. Pious presents himself as someone a bit more laid back than you would think. He likes his relaxation as well as a good drinking buddy.
Dogma: Regardless of his status as a deity of goodness and what is noble. Pious understands that evil is something needed to make good what it is. He doesn’t condone it, just wants his followers to understand it. Above all, he wants those who listen to his teachings to know that protecting your family and clan is worth the trials you may have to go through. He is a Herald of Light, wishing his followers to wish to be the same.

Backstory: Pious Lightbearer started as a Monk devoted to the Ideal of Protection for his whole life. He never devoted himself to a singular deity due to the fact that in his existence, they didn’t have names. He saw the Chaos around himself and his family so he fought it to keep them safe. Alongside him was Corvus Shadowbringer; his friend, lover, fellow protector and brother-in-arms. The pair were a part of a group of mortals who proved their worth to the Primal Energies to ascend after a horrendous battle between Mortals and Chaos.
That is where his history as a Deity starts. His Mortal history has been lost to time, only he and two others can recall those years. Pious had a mortal wife, she passed in the birthing of his triplet sons. He had two daughters, one of which carried on his mortal line as did one of his sons. He was part of one of the first settlements in the World Record. Together with his Clan they stood as the first true Adventures to stand against Chaos. Throughout their lives they lost friends, they gained friends. However one thing remained true. They never gave up. They looked the earliest creations of Chaos in the eye as they put them down. Pious started out as the youngest of three brothers. He watched his eldest brother die in combat, while his middle brother simply vanished to Chaos.
As he grew, he watched his Mother waste away while his Father simply faded. It hurt. Such was life. He moved on. Fell in love with a lovely woman who gave him his two daughters. Her death during the childbirth of his triplets left him fractured. If not for the rally of his friends behind him and his family, he might not have made it to the fate he now holds. Not much else of grand importance happened to the male after that. He fought, he gained notice. He didn’t fell any large beasts until it was told to them that the Father of Chaos was going to launch a widescale genocide of Mortal Kind. Pious and his friends all joined up with a larger group which turned into an army. They stood against the Chaos.
Only Pious, Corvus, Felis, Victory and Ethereal survived. In their final breaths as Mortals the Nameless Primals offered them the chance to ascend. Sadly Felis and Victory didn’t survive the ascension. Their souls were scattered to the stars as the first Celestial Spirits. Those who helped to form the skies. Pious was chosen by the Primal of Protection, Guidance, Family and Life. Corvus was chosen by the Primal of Vengeance, Trickery, Solitude and Death. Ethereal was chosen by the Primal of Magic, Foresight, Knowledge and Creation. Pious was overjoyed to have two of his closest friends there. Especially Corvus. When it was seen that he and Corvus were more than friends. Another deity stepped in, claiming Pious as her Divine Husband and forever parting the two.
She then had four children with Pious. Their oldest being the twins who were kept in incubation within the cosmos. At the time of their birth, the Sun and the Moon gained their light. Thus Pious became the Father of Celestials. His next child was born in the spectral wilds, sprung from the secretions of one night with his Divine Wife where he didn’t finish in her. That is his only Divine Son. His youngest with his Divine Wife was born from a dream her parents shared. He fathered several demi-gods with descendants from his old mortal friends. Seeking to bless their lines in some fashion.
However this would come to be a mistake as one of his Divine Wife grew jealous. She set up those children to fall in battle one way or another. Always making sure to keep out of sight. She would seek his attention to focus on their children in all the negative aspects until her crimes were finally made known. When his firstborn divine daughter turned her bow to her Mother, she was punished. Pious was blamed for her ‘betrayal’ then made to pay a steep price. His firstborn mortal daughter was sacrificed to seal his firstborn divine daughter. She held only one child to her breast. A baby girl who Pious spirited away to her Uncle once he realized that she was going to suffer at the hands of an angered deity. That story is what started his other deity-born daughter as a Protector of Children.
Pious would forever wander from the heavenly realms to avoid his divine wife and majority of his duties. He would answer when the need was dire. He didn’t ignore his worship, he just avoided his fellows. He answered his divine children when they called, rarely his wife unless one of the others poked him as well. While he saw Corvus, the two never mended their bond. Pious was convinced by his Divine Wife Corvus would never be true again. Corvus was convinced by that same Wife that Pious was her puppet.
