Meet Kasklük. He’s a god of thunder who rules over the northern plains. And by “rules over” I mean “runs around like a dork with no pants on and a horde of angry thunderpigs following him around and wrecking shit”. He’s actually fairly even-tempered by godly standards, and not that bad of a guy - unlike Aalit, he has the good graces to actually signal his approach by raising a stiff breeze and making a lot of noise before a storm, and not dish out major natural disasters out of the blue.


Well. I mean, that happens occasionally, likely when he’s feeling pissy, but Kasklük is a bit more conscious of the collateral damage than Aalit and is actually somewhat concerned with the people that live in his grasslands. Because, come on, if you just go around wiping everyone out, they’re not going to build you cool-looking temples with bell towers and lots of windchimes, right?

Right. And Kasklük is all about stuff that makes a lot of noise - he’s a thunder god, being…well, THUNDEROUS is in the job description. Which is why he wears metal plates (not pictured???) and bells around his waist - both of those make lots of noise, and are also heavy enough to hold him down in a human form for extended periods of time. Because it’s hard, man. It’s hard to be a solid thing when you’re a decidedly unstable mixture of hot and cold air almost constantly on the verge of exploding.

Oh, and he carries around a pair of LIGHTNING BOLAS, because those are useful for hunting large game and throwing at stuff in general. Axes and hammers are overdone, yo. Perkunas and Thor have those covered. Gilgamesh figures/pastoral deities vaguely based on Near Eastern mythology get bolas.

He’s friends with Aalit, more or less. They tolerate each other in fairly good spirits, but their interactions tend to Escalate Quickly.
