Steve
Embedded Files
The Watcher in the Gaps
"This depiction of Steve captures his restless and elusive nature. His form seems uncertain, as if caught between being and not being, with ghostly afterimages trailing behind him. His wide, darting eyes reflect a constant, anxious awareness, as if always sensing unseen threats. Wrapped in a tattered, weathered cloak, he appears both present and absent, never fully grounded in one place. The air around him seems to ripple and blur, hinting at his connection to the fractured, shifting nature of possibility itself. This portrayal captures the tension of a being who exists on the fringes, both watching and being watched, caught between realities."

The Unseen Observer
Steve is not a god of fate or prophecy—he is the god of what could be. Possibility is his domain, and his eyes are fixed on the countless outcomes that ripple from every choice. He never intervenes directly, but he nudges, hints, and leaves clues for those who might change the course of destiny.
When the gods awoke, Steve made no grand declaration. While others clashed and sought power, he whispered to those willing to listen between the words. He alone knows the paths that will lead to salvation or ruin—but he refuses to dictate which path should be taken.
To Steve, nothing is certain. Even the most carefully crafted plan can unravel in an instant, and the most unlikely hero can rise when all seems lost. He is a god of paranoia, caution, and infinite potential—a riddle without an answer.
Symbolism and Worship
Symbolism and Worship
Steve’s symbol is an open eye with a jagged line running through the iris, symbolizing the fractured nature of possibility. His followers often mark their belongings with abstract patterns, never repeating the same symbol twice.
There are no official temples to Steve, as he rejects formal worship. His followers gather in secret, shifting locations, never allowing themselves to be tracked or predicted. Meetings often begin in silence, each member waiting for someone else to speak first.
Steve’s most devout call themselves The Unseen, living on the edges of society, always moving and watching. They believe that direct intervention corrupts possibility—instead, they manipulate from the shadows, planting ideas and allowing them to blossom or wither on their own.
Tenets of Steve
Tenets of Steve
Observe and Adapt: Never settle on one path—be ready to shift at a moment’s notice.
Speak in Hints: Direct action is the death of possibility. Let others draw their own conclusions.
Doubt Everything: Assume you are being watched, pursued, or deceived. Stay one step ahead.
Embrace the Unlikely: In every situation, look for the path no one expects.

Steve rarely clashes with other gods directly. He prefers to move in the spaces between their influence, like a shadow slipping through cracks. However, his constant lack of commitment frustrates many.
Atenzu finds Steve’s lack of balance infuriating. While Atenzu seeks harmony between opposing forces, Steve’s endless possibilities threaten to upend any semblance of stability.
Gaevash finds him amusing, as both revel in the unpredictable. However, while Gaevash creates chaos, Steve watches it unfold without lifting a finger. This passivity bothers even her, as she can’t understand why he never takes part in the game.
Aethzora holds Steve in contempt, as the god of possibility actively resists definitive answers. To the Keeper, this makes Steve’s influence dangerous, as possibility without consequence undermines the natural order.
Myths of Steve
Myths of Steve
The Path Not Taken: It’s said that Steve once appeared to a weary traveler at a crossroads, offering no guidance but pointing out that all three paths were equally viable. The traveler, paralyzed by choice, remained at the crossroads until they died, never moving forward. Steve, unseen, murmured to the bones: “One path would have saved you, but I won’t say which.”
The Whispered Warning: During the War of the Ascendant, a hero claimed to have heard Steve’s voice warning him of an assassin’s blade. The hero dodged, survived, and won the battle. But later, the same hero was found dead in his chambers—the assassin had followed, and Steve did not warn him a second time.

Steve’s followers are often spies, scouts, and conspirators. They believe that knowledge is a weapon, but not one to be wielded openly. Instead, they plant seeds of thought and watch the world bend around their influence. To them, every word, action, and decision should be made with layers of meaning—direct answers are traps.
In Tarsendral, where psychic servants operate in secrecy, Steve’s philosophy thrives. His followers are particularly drawn to the scouting and intelligence corps, where observation and subtlety are valued above brute force. The monarchy respects them, but never fully trusts them.
A Prayer to Steve:
A Prayer to Steve:
"Watcher of the Unseen,
Guide my steps through the gaps between certainty,
Let me see the path that others overlook,
And grant me the wisdom to choose, or the patience to wait."
