| History & Relationships: |
Loric is a relatively new god in Ghoraja Juun,
having came into being in the midst of the Gods Fall Wars. During
a conflict between Aldamar and one of the now dead monstrous
deities, Aldamar was seriously injured and a 'piece' of him
splintered off. Instead of simply reabsorbing this newly formed
entity, Aldamar realized that having "a second set of eyes" could
be useful in any future conflicts. Aldamar nurtured the
young Loric subtly nudging him in certain directions, granting him
additional powers gained from ensuing conflicts. In essence Loric
became Aldamar's body guard.
Because of Aldamar's generosity during the Gods Fall conflicts
Loric is extremely loyal to him, and would probably sacrifice his
existence if the need was great enough. Even once Aldamar freed
him from his 'employment' Loric continues to serve Aldamar in
whatever ways he can.
Loric is viewed in good light by most of the other deities, though
as with most of his fellow deities Vhokuun always has some kind of
snide, sarcastic comment to make, often calling him "Aldamar's
Pet" or "Aldamar's Puppy". He even joked once that Loric should
have taken the form of a dog so he could lay at Aldamar's feet.
While Loric has taken all of this abuse stoically, he works
secretly behind the scenes to foil many of Vhokuun's plots and
schemes. Contention exists between Loric and both Syth and
Darkjoye as the Watcher simply cannot abide their selfish
attitudes.
He is cognizant of Iridala's romantic notions toward but views
love as a 'frivolous escapade' that does nothing but hinder ones
ability to do their duty. Despite his apparent non-interest he
treats Iridala with utmost respect. |
