Hakkaros



The Storm King.

Description of character
Hakkaros is defined by his hatred of stagnation. He believes that only in times of chaos and war can the world truly prosper. When peace reigns, all mortals act as though they were equals, despite the fact that they are not - some are inherently stronger than others, and that is what the god of war wished to bring out in humanity. Peace only brings stagnation, and stagnation only leads to decadence, as mortals forget that the world they live in is dangerous, and as they grow soft and abandon strength in favor of such things as education or trade.

Hakkaros is not an inherently evil god; his purpose is greater than mere good or evil. It is to bring out the best amongst humans, to elevate them to the rank of legends, to ensure they are never forgotten - as it should be. He wishes to reward those mortals that are inherently better than those around them - stronger, faster, smarter, braver... And the best way to achieve such a thing is to make these qualities necessary. That is not the only reason, of course - for he knows that mankind can only fall if it is not constantly challenged, constantly reminded that it must be wary, that power is the only strength. That is the way of Hakkaros - the strong must rule the weak, and the old must burn if the new is to prosper.

As a god, he is not petty. The storms and thunder are a way of expressing his strength, of making his ideal of the world into a reality - they bring forth chaos, and they cull the weak. He is not prone to anger or to other such emotions, and he is generous in his rewards to those who earned his favor. However, such favor can be fleeting - those who abandon his ways often find it to abandon them, or even punish them for their failures.
