The Crimson God

The Crimson God is a messianic god and is the youngest of the three. The Crimson God is worshipped by the warrior monks of the east who's goal is to spread his message and teachings of peace. Unlike the other two gods, the Crimson God achieved his godhood through training his mind and body. He earned his godhood, whereas the Dark Other stumbled upon it and the Suicide King won his. The Crimson God has achieved enlightenment and inner-peace, is in complete control of his mind, body and spirit and is in complete balance with nature.

The Crimson God is driven by a need to help others. He is very optimistic and passionate  having both faith in and hope for humanity. He believes that people are inherently good and can achieve anything they put their minds to. Because of his centuries of training, he is able to achieve impossible feats and there are many tales telling of them, most with a moral message. He dresses in robes akin to that of his followers, however more supernatural in nature. They are made of the finest red silk covered with golden embroidery telling the never ending history of the world. The images continue to move and change as history continues, all that is or ever was can be found embroidered into his endless red silk robes. Long dead plants spring to life and blossom around him into beautiful flowers that only ever exist in his presence.

Below is a myth telling of his origins. 


The Crimson God lived in a time of great suffering. Famine, pestilence and war were common. The Crimson God was a slave, his was a life filled with endless toil and work. He was the lowest of the low, unloved and uncared for by society. One day he looked around at his fellow slaves and his heart broke, then and there he decided that enough was enough, he would stand up against this injustice. The Crimson God began to train, in any way he could.  Anything and Everything that he could, he turned into a training exercise.

One day, after years of hard training, when his masters began to taunt and abuse one of the weakest slaves, he stood up and ordered them to stop. Confused and infuriated that this lowly slave would dare insult them so, they attacked him, attempting to teach him his place. The fight was a quick one.  After, the broken bodies of his former captors lay before him and the former slaves stood in a state of awe and gratitude.  The Crimson God walked away into the jungle, deciding to dedicate his life to training his body and his mind so he may help his fellow man.
