☉ Deity of Misfortune

Show-sah-nah

Deity of misfortune and suffering, child of the deity of natural disasters and the goddess of the moon and stars. Their smile is charming and practiced, yet the corners of their mouth twist with mischief.

Plagued by the role of their own existence, Ciocana manages to maintain their confidence, quick-witted and charismatic, yet biting and cynical. Though they're not well-liked among deities, this appears to bother them little.

They dress in the cosmopolitan style of the mortals, enjoying finer tastes in clothes. Although they typically wear black, which they find stands out in a sea of colorful deities, they also like to wear red on other occasions. Ciocana is always decked in a luxurious amount of cloth, or covered in fine fabric.

If they are presenting femininely or masculinely, they will typically default to clothes that match their identity. However, they enjoy wearing dresses and suits, regardless, and will switch on occasion.

Death is, indeed, the last and grandest celebration of human life; one must look their best in whatever they're buried with. Why continue to indulge in misfortune?

SPIRIT

AMONG MORTALS

Many in higher circles and ambitious city-dwellers fear the deity of misfortune, as if a force of evil that threatens their hard-earned success. Surprisingly, however, they seem to have a small, but dedicated following within the commonfolk. Depending on who you speak to, they're either a deity who rains bad fortune by their mere presence, or an entity who protects others from hardship in spite of their reputation.

TESATA DICERAGA

Common people typically offer their abundance, such as extra wheat or money they receive, for thanks to Ciocana for protecting them during bad times and giving back during good times. For wealthier folks, however, they tend to avoid worship of them.
