Message: <blockquote data-quote="BOZ" data-source="post: 696728" data-attributes="member: 1241">here is what i compiled for the introductory text for Omata, so far.  opinions?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Omata, the Emerald Serpent, is a nature lover that has developed a strong fascination with psionics.  He is also known as the Ender of Droughts, as well as the Multicolored Lord and the Rainbow Serpent.  In his true form, Omata looks like a huge rainbow-winged couatl with deep emerald skin with an alabaster underbelly.  Unlike common couatl, he has two small horns atop his head, and a mane of pure black hair.  On the tip of his tail he has a flume of rainbow feathers, and his eyes are purple with red snake-like pupils.  When he takes a humanoid form he always chooses odd coloring to go with it, such a human with silver skin and pink hair Omata’s realm is a lush but orderly rainforest on the plane of Arcadia.  From there, he has served the Storm Kings for over a thousand years.  He has personally served the lord of Rain as an emissary for over 200 years, since the time he increased his power to his current status.  In that time, he has been the benefactor to a great many aspiring psions, psychic warriors and mixed cleric/psions in their conflicts with psionic fiends.  His intention is to weaken and eventually destroy the mind flayer god (and secretly, the whole mind flayer race), which he sees as a blight on the multiverse.  He is on good terms with deities of woodlands, including Ehlonna and Obad-Hai, and considers Jazirian, the couatl god to be an ally for now.  As he increases his own personal power base among psionics users, he hopes to become a god in his own right.  Omata has few enemies among the gods and other powers, except for those that have drought or famine in their portfolio.Mortals sometimes worship Omata as a life-giver, and his name is used in rituals of male fertility (symbolized as raindrops falling to earth, giving life to the land). He rarely pays his worshippers any mind, as he prefers to focus on psionics.  It’s not that he doesn’t care for mortals or divine magic though, as clerics do aid him in his affairs with the gods.  Omata made the headdress that is the symbol of his high priests from his own feathers.  He has no real care for arcane magic at all, and doesn’t have much of a following among those who use it.Omata’s symbol is a rainbow that twists around like a snake.</blockquote>
