Ref picture of my main OC, Sagira. She usually dresses a little more conservatively but the latest rp she’s in calls for something a bit out of her normal fashion.

Thank you!
The Goddess on the moon is called Magnet, who whispers songs of power into the souls of the living. She is the patron of nightly passion, who teaches survivalist mentality and awards her followers with the ability to forgo the need for sleep, in return for taking short naps here and there throughout the week.
Sagira uses her gifts from Magnet to command the souls of the dead.

is that so? Wow, Magnet seems like a really powerful entity, "songs of power into the souls of the living" that was a beautiful thing to say.
but i'm curious now, how does someone pay back such blessings? how can one even show gratitude to a being so vast that can grant command over the dead?

In the world my partner and I built for these characters, there are 12 Universe Gods. One of them is Magnet. The leader of the Universe Gods is Nova, who created the sub Gods (Zeus, Ra, Odin, etc) to watch over Trea and earth while they dealt with their own wars against one another in the galaxy.
Each of our different species on Trea were created by one of the Universe Gods, which gives them a link from their souls to their creator that they can use (but only if they want to) to reach out to the God or Goddess responsible for forging their lives. Once contact is established, typically through dreams or visions, that God will actively guide them through their teachings, and at the end of those lessons the person must past a test.. once the test is passed, they gain access to the host of powers that goes with that God.
For Magnet, the person astral walks into her realm, which is of an extremely dense forest in the deepest of nights, where the clouds are so thick it covers the enormous full moon above. The person in the test must navigate their way through the forest, following the moon they cannot see by feeling alone and listening to the goddess softly singing, and they must survive horrors hidden in the trees. When they find the heart of the forest, they walk out onto a lake as black and smooth as glass, and stand on it as the clouds open for the moon to show itself, and the Goddess appears and speaks with them as to their future. Magnet is one of the few of them who stays in contact after that, and Sagira can ask for her advice by taking a nap and projecting her soul back onto the lake.
Others, like Canis the sun God, prefers for his children to take their test by climbing up a steep mountain with him at the top. Terrible darkness lies at the bottom of the mountain, and chases the person's soul up the cliffs. They have to keep climbing.. every time they look back at the darkness, they slip a little further, and every time they pause to rest on a ledge, the ledges get smaller and more fragile. Whereas Magnet teaches survival instinct and passion, Canis teaches his children to keep pushing forward and pursue freedom.... none of the Gods are 'good' or 'bad' however... Magnet is passion incarnate, which can become ferocious or gentle depending on who she is protecting, and Canis, while he IS light, warmth and healing and the patron of the Phoenix, he's also savage in droughts and fire, and can be merciless.
Like I said, there's 12 in total and they're all very different with unique personalities and ideals. Some are not so kind to their children at all, in fact... but Sagira only belongs to Magnet, so she doesn't have access to the other deities.

Wow, that is one rich and detailed lore, now that you've shared this i can tell i've read fragments about these gods on your works.
It is admirable what you and your partner have done, sounds like a fertile place for beautiful stories to be born . This "amorality" from the gods has a certain charm to it, beings beyond "good" or "evil" helps to characterize how much MORE these entities are.
I might have to read through all your post and pick those bits and pieces of lore, to help me get a better understanding of this living, thriving, world of "Trea" and all the cosmic forces that unfold over its history.
Without wanting to sound pretentious, i am also going to introduce some godly themes in my future works. hope they are to the liking of all my dear readers.... but to be honest, the scale of world building involved in myths frightens me.

I'm honored, thank you for such high compliments!
Myth building is always a little intimidating... gods are a difficult line to walk, and it comes down to the artist to decide just how invulnerable or how 'human' they are... seems to be personal preference really. I'm sure whatever you create will be wonderful!
I intend to do a series soon of all our Universe Gods, but at the moment the only updated one I've posted recently is Gravity and Core.

Strong enough feelings to endure pain, yes, but passion for Magnet also encompasses the tangle of midnight lovers and unconditional affection for a platonic relationship. Magnet's children have excellent fortitude but are very sensitive, and will give their entire hearts to those they love... and in the same breath, they will stubbornly defend those loved ones to the death if they're in danger. Their passion makes them loyal and absolute, although that's not always a good thing, if they choose someone who does not return the same strong feelings. They're the type to stand between their lovers and the gates of Hades if they have to, and they expect the same in return.
aaah, yes, i'm sadly very familiar with unreciprocated love, and a burning passion that wont let me forget. it really is a cause of great pain, but it's also the very reason why i endure it. Very much like you just said, to gates of hades if necessary for the one we love.
i hope Sagira doesn't get those thorns around her heart, with the power to rise the dead she might need the strength of her emotions for different struggles.
Thank you for answering all my comments, you are a very kind person, and a amazing artist. i could praise the lore you've created, but it seems i already did that, didn't i?
may our paths cross again soon, but just in case they don't, merry christmas. (i realized i haven't asked if you celebrate christmas, hope you'll forgive my indiscretion)
