The Endless |
|
There are several figures that are not Gods, they existed before humanity dreamed of Gods, that will exist after the last God is dead. Their are several beings that exist, because in our hearts, we know they exist. Destiny - Destiny is the oldest of the Endless; in the Beginning was the Word, and it was traced by his hand on the first page of his book, before ever it was spoken aloud. Destiny is also the tallest of the Endless, to mortal eyes. There are some who believe him to be blind; whilst others, perhaps with more reason, claim that he has travelled far beyond blindness, that indeed, he can do nothing but see: that he sees the fine traceries the galaxies make as they spiral through the void, that he watches the intricate patterns living things make on their journey through time. Character copywrighted by Neil Gaiman Death -Death accompanies each mortal twice in life. At birth, she speaks to them, but since no one remembers what she says, it is not known why. When they die, she guides them to what lies beyond their mortal years. Mortals fear Death. They fear the sunless lands to which she guides them. They feebly attempt to placate her. They do not love her. Character copywrighted by Neil Gaiman Dream - It is hard to say anything at this time about Dream. The previous Dream was a cold follower of rules, a collector of names, a breaker of his own heart. He was also a prince of stories, a friend to few, and an enemy to some. This is neither the place nor the time though, to tell his story. The current Dream seems more compassionate than his predecessor, more caring, more concerned. Character copywrighted by Neil Gaiman War - War was born when the first wound was made. War, a friend of Future, is very passionate and rebellious... but not desiring. Red is his color. He carries a Flaming Sword... taken from the Guardian of the Eastern Gate of Eden.Concept of Character copywrighted by Michael Schofield Famine - Famine was born when the first culture starved. Famine, a friend of future, is very cool and casual. Blue is her color. Concept of Character copywrighted by Michael Schofield Pestilence and Pollution - Pestilence was born with the first parasite. Pollution was born with the first toxin. They become one in the same. Pestilence/Pollution is uncomfortable and conformative its brother and sister, War and Famine, though the most dangerous. Pestilence is pale, feverish, and addictive - though always lain back and casual. His color is white. Concept of Character copywrighted by Michael Schofield |
