About Blooming_Astral is a neutral-aligned character known for his quiet involvement in several major events throughout the Pantheon of Gods arc. Though rarely taking part in direct conflict, he is often associated with survival efforts, reconstruction, and cooperation between civilizations, serving as a wandering laborer, messenger, and caretaker across multiple nations. History Early Days in the Ocean Civilization Blooming_Astral was originally a member of the Ocean Civilization during its early developmental period. During this time, he secretly worshipped the God of Life while sowing discord within the struggling nation through theft and resource hoarding. Following the discovery of heretics within the civilization and the beginning of the Ocean God’s crusade, Blooming_Astral fled the nation alongside Shadowed_Jester with assistance from Igneous_Dawn , the Lord of the Celestial Flame. Journey to the Life Civilization After recovering in Pyros, Blooming_Astral departed in search of the Life Civilization . After several days of wandering with little success, he resorted to summoning Soul_Shepherd , the God of Life, for directions. Unfortunately, the deity appeared to possess absolutely no sense of direction and could only gesture vaguely toward “somewhere over there.” Despite this deeply unhelpful guidance, Blooming_Astral eventually managed to piece things together and successfully locate the civilization. Upon arriving, he worked primarily as a miner and remained largely uninvolved in political affairs or warfare. (ily shepherd of souls this was actually funny) Return to Pyros Following the alliance between Pyros and The Hive, Blooming_Astral returned to Pyros to aid in the maintenance of local farms as a gesture of goodwill between allied nations. During this period, he became friends with Dainty_Void. Construction of the Bunker Alongside Shadowed_Jester and Dainty_Void, Blooming_Astral began construction on a bunker intended to act as an evacuation shelter for allied civilizations in the event of catastrophe. During construction, the Ocean God located the group and flooded the surrounding area in a fit of rage. The Flood After being informed by Igneous_Dawn of the Ocean God’s plans to flood the world, Blooming_Astral, along with Dainty_Void, participated in warning neighboring nations of the impending disaster despite attempts from the Ocean God to thwart his efforts by sending thunderstorms in their path.  During this time, he also learned that the remnants of the Ocean Civilization had abandoned the crusade and chosen to live in an isolated part of the world instead. The Battle Against the Ocean God Blooming_Astral remained largely absent from direct combat during the battle against the Ocean God, choosing instead to avoid the conflict in fear of being caugh in the crossfire. Warning Endless_Night Following the Ocean God’s death, Blooming_Astral overheard discussions regarding a manhunt against Endless_Night (Now known as Endless_Abyss) and the remaining children of the Ocean God due to fears they would inherit their father’s power and continue his legacy. Together with Shadowed_Jester, he traveled to warn Endless_Night before the search could begin. The Multicultural Monument After the conflict had ended, Blooming_Astral, Shadowed_Jester, and Dainty_Void traveled to the location where the Ocean God had been slain. There, the group constructed a multicultural monument symbolizing unity and coexistence between civilizations following the war, commonly referred to as the “7-11.” Gallery At the Ocean Civilization At the Hive At 7-11 Windy_Whisper One of the lead builders of "The Hive". Primarily built and did nothing else. She built the main building as well as the main structure of the civilization.

About Windy was a quiet frog whose main focus was building. She is very organized and likes peace and justice. History At the start of the Era, the first thing she did was find a group of people. As night time approached, she quickly took the initiative of building a simple skybase to spend the night in. As people were trying to figure out which gods existed, Windy heard Molten_Star saying to pray to the Light, and so she did. While most people were praying to different words trying to discover more information, Windy just stuck to praying to the same word. She tried her best to be productive. One of the first things she did was go into the wilderness and find wool for a bed for herself. Eventually she was a bit frustrated. She felt as if the group lacked organization and focus, and that when she tried pushing for anything she felt ignored. This lead her to go find another group. The only other people she was able to find were the moon worshippers. They seemed nice and accepting enough despite Windy having a different faith so she thought she had found a good place to live. But this decision was short lived when she once again felt ignored, but most importantly a sign from her god appeared telling her to go find her people. She knew deep down that those people her god referred to most probably were most probably the ones she had left behind earlier. She instantly obeyed but was a little disappointed.  She returned to their original skybase but it was empty. She had heard them talking about leaving spawn right before she left, so she decided to go on a boat and go looking for them. On the way there, she found Spacious_Astral and Pale_Hazel. They talked for a bit and right before each going on their way she decided to ask them which god they followed, and they said Life. So Windy told them about the sign and it turned out they had received the same message, so they continue looking for the rest of the Life followers together. It didn't take long until they stumbled across a skybase next to a jungle where the rest were. Windy quickly settled in and took the role of builder. Pretty much right after arriving their god manifested for the first time. Windy felt delighted knowing the word she had pretty randomly chosen, Light, was the best one she could've picked. After all, she just wanted peace.  She swiftly got to work of what would be the main building of the base, where everything would be situated. The building process was a lot easier than she expected thanks to Drifting_Horizon for providing a lot of the stones required and thanks to her god for providing much needed saplings.  After finishing the tower, she focused on general maintenance of the base, such as removing the old skybase, and expanding the stone brick sub-floor. But then the flooding happened. The water gods hijinks to disrupt peace in all civilizations. She thought they probably wouldn't have much trouble, as the main building was 12 blocks over the water level, but then the first wave happened and there were only 2 or 3 blocks of space left between the water and the first floor. So then the focus became raising the walls to keep water from entering. Until the second wave hit and the first floor of the base was flooded. Windy wasn't too mad, she just found it amusing. The water wasn't too hard to clear out and at some point the water lowered by itself. Windy likes to think it was because the Water God realized they went overboard and didn't want to ruin such a beautiful build. Eventually most of the Life Civ went to help kill the water God. While all this was happening, Windy just kept working on the base. Eventually she ended up building the Hive's library after the Water God fiasco was over. She reworked the back area of the base and added some stables and improved the landscaping. Windy's final project was the yellow building next to the Library, which was mostly decorative, as well as the fountain in front.  Gallery Windy at the first Skybase after everyone had already left.

History Arcane_Light was among the first to pray for the manifestation of the God of Life. Upon his manifestation, he would later become his apostle thanks to his devotion and passion for bees. He also became the most recognized player at The Hive, thus becoming its leader without any real elections, as everyone already recognized him as such. Although leader, his role was Guardsman, so he was well equipped with divine buffs and good weapons to defend The Hive from the Ocean People, and he fought in the final battle against the Ocean God and his followers. After the final battle, he continued to do his duty as an apostle and was one of the three original players to obtain a mace in this era from Soul_Shepherd, to protect him from True_Ender. Everyone beelived in him until the end. They would later present a category at the Pantheon Awards.
