Planetary Gods of Gaias (EntityTopic, 24)

From Compile Worlds

Revision as of 10:20, 13 October 2014

The Planetary Gods of Gaias are a group of five gods and goddesses, plus their leader, that appear in Puyo Wars and possibly Madou Monogatari. As their name implies, they create, destroy and govern the world of Gaias, and have at least some influence over the various other Compile worlds, including the Madou World, the Puyo Wars World, and Lagnus' home world which was destroyed by the Youggs. By the time the events of Puyo Wars take place, they are at least five to six thousand years old. At the end of the game, after a long council meeting, they banish Angol Mois to another world, and neither they or Angol are seen again.

Kanon

The leader of the gods. She appears only as a glimmering orb of light, though she may actually only project herself as such due to being an otherwise imposing figure. She appears with the others while they discuss the fate of Angol and the Puyo Wars world. She was entirely capable of stopping Angol before he even did anything, but she never bothered, because she apparently didn't have permission to. Well, it's a good thing for us, cause we got a game out of it.

Eldora

Eldora has the most prominent appearance in the stories we know and love, although she's not actually any more important than any of the four other members. She is to blame for creating/summoning Angol in the first place (although her intention in doing so was to save a probably unrelated different world, and she was unaware that Angol would turn into a madman), and is also responsible for reincarnating Sho and Marin from Puyo into humans. Much earlier on in her life, she had declared Lagnus a hero and saved him from his homeworld which got destroyed by the Youggs.

Issac

The first god that appears in their meeting, he has the most stereotypical appearance, being bearded with a dominant chin. Not much is known about him, though he and Eldora seem to go back and forth most of the meeting.

Omega

The second god that appears, he is wrapped from head to toe in bandages, other than his right eye and a tuffet of hair. He appears to butt heads with Issac and/or Eldora during the meeting.

Weather (Weza)

The third god that appears, he resembles a more traditional Japanese deity, with long hair and a slightly long head.

Ishtaris

The last of the gods to appear, she is the only other female. Her long hair and pointy ears give her a resemblance to Jan from the aforementioned Madou game. Like the others, not much is known about her.

Etymology

The Planetary Gods all seem to be named after religious or mythological concepts:

• Eldora is named after [wikipedia:El_Dorado|El Dorado], the mythical lost city of gold.
• Isaac is named after Isaac, the third patriarch in the Old Testiment.
• Omega is named after the Alpha and Omega metaphor used in the christian bible.
• Weather
