I Should Elaborate On Lore More - Tumblr Posts

Have some lore about Thoth, my mascot.

He’s technically not really a moth. Under his cloak wings is just an incomprehensible blob of eyes and tentacles. He can however take on a concrete form if he focuses, however it takes effort and energy to do so he typically just keeps most of him hidden under the cloak. The moth part of him is more like a shell he inhabits, however it is a part of him, like a snail shell. When he’s not around people he doesn’t bother keeping himself compacted to one size under the cloak, and since his body mass can change he can get pretty big.

He’s a writer. That’s not his occupation, that’s his species. He ‘writes’ worlds, creating them and all the characters inside. Things get really meta with him. He used a magic pen to write on reality and he can use strings of text like silk threads to make characters do things they wouldn’t normally do. He doesn’t use this sorta mind control ability on characters though because it ruins the story. He’s completely morally grey and his main goal is to create a narrative. He has the power to make everyone happy forever but that makes a boring story and he doesn’t want a boring story.

He inserted himself into Cryptid valley as the god of Cryptids (even though technically he would just be regular a old god of everything.) he has a child (Twitch), and he really only appears to the cryptids during blood moons because he has to keep up a physical form for the entirety of the night and that’s like, really mentally and physically draining on him, plus bloodmoons make it less so.

He really likes food. He does need food but he does like it. His appearance varies a lot but it’s generally moth-like with a vague black red white colour scheme. This is totally because he’s an eldritch being and totally not because I’m inconsistent 👀
