Species: Hippopotamus goddess.
Age: 4350.
Height: 12 to 100 feet. (3.65 to 30.48 meters)
Weight: 1.2 to 765 tons.
Nature: Vengeful, detached, avaricious.
Class: Judge and devourer of the dead.
Domain: Greed, gluttony, wrath, childbirth, family, the afterlife, punishment.

Tuherat is an ancient goddess dedicated to greed, gluttony and punishment. She is primarily worshipped by mothers and especially pregnant women. Other disciples include those who seek protection from hippopotamus in the lakes and rivers and judges. However her primary duties pertain to the world of the dead rather than the living. She is one of the 5 judges of the afterlife, evaluating the life of the deceased in order to bestow the appropriate reward or punishment. The hippo goddess is also the ruler of the 7th hell which is actually her stomach. This section of the afterlife is reserved for the most greedy and gluttonous: Their hunger for both food and wealth has consumed their soul in life, so too shall their sin consume them in death. Tuherat herself is a divine incarnation of those attribute, she ever hungers for additional spirits to stuff down her ravenous gullet, each souls only temporarily sating her unholy appetite.

Once a soul has been condemned to the 7th hell it is either gobbled up on the spot or brought back to Tuherat's palace in Elysium where it can be stored and prepared into a meal for the goddess. It can be brewed into a refreshing beverage, roasted or even stewed before it is taking to its ultimate resting place: Her sacred belly. From her huge, cavernous mouth to her fleshy, mucus-filled esophagus the convict will be plunged into this bodily ocean, this silky, spongy abyss from which no one ever comes back... The soul will then be crammed into an already overcrowded stomach, compacted within this prison of meat. He or she will then spend the rest of eternity enduring the slow, unending burn of her digestive juices and the restless, soul-breaking churning of this carnal reservoir, the walls throbbing and pulsing, blending together millions of souls until nothing is left but a uniform ectoplasm, devoid of any individuality. Of course, Tuherat might one day decide to use a digestive potion to allow all those souls to ferment and slowly dissolve into her body, erasing their consciousness forever.

The goddess also has a tendency to hunt down and punish unfaithful husband and disobedient sons. As such, she is viewed as a kind of boogeyman, scaring children and husbands into behaving. Being a patron of punishment, she gladly accept sacrifices of convincted criminals, even if their crime doesn't really fit into her usual themes.

Do NOT sell off this character. I could really see you creating some awesome work from this, not to mention the idea is pretty original.

I'm loving this character. Of course, her girth means I can't stop thinking about her rear. So two questions spring to mind. Does that digestive potion leave any soul scat, and is she able/willing to do soul av?

kernac

Posted by kernac 7 years ago Report

Yes, the digestive potion does leave soul scat and yes she is both able and willing to do soul av :3

kernac

Posted by kernac 7 months ago Report

Absolutely~! But... I've been having a lot of trouble writing for a while now... And my game is in a state of limbo at this moment.
