Nimbus!!! A lightning/thunder elemental deity that
represents the strange kinship I have with rain and storms in general. You cans
see their pre-finalized design along with some facts over here at tumblr.
- Their full name is ‘Cumulonimbus’ because you know, I’m
creative.
- Nimbus travels hidden within storm clouds and how they move
is similar to a snake’s slither or how an eel moves in water. They never touch
the ground and how exactly they remain airborne for extended amount of time is
currently unknown by modern day science, however it is theorized that it
happens because of the otherworldly gases and energies they harbour within them
(which is also the reason behind why they glow a bright blue colour.)
- Nimbus came to earth via an electronic spacial-rift in time
and space. For spookiness reasons, this rift opened up within the Bermuda triangle
during a hurricane.
- Since Nimbuses arrival, the rates of planes crashing due to uncharacteristic
power-outages has risen dramatically. Some planes set off on journeys to never
return, a possibility is that Nimbus confuses planes for prey-items and eats
them.
- Nimbus has also caused mass deaths in bird-populations, with
entire flocks perishing in mid-air as they unwittingly fly into Nimbuses’ storm
in confusion and delirium.
- Nimbus is huge. When I say huge, I mean kaiju-level big. Big
enough to eat a plane whole and leave no trace of struggle as previously
mentioned.
- Nobody knows what Nimbus’ true gender is and how old they
are, it’s impossible to tell because of their lack of external and internal
genitalia.
- Nimbus does not have eyes but senses the world by detecting
strong charges of electricity, heat and sound.
- It is theorized that the reason behind Nimbus constantly
creating storms is so that they can see.
- Nimbus is constantly
releasing hot-air, moisture, and spasms of intense electric charges that urge
the creation of the storm clouds that Nimbus coats themselves with. Because of
their electric charge, those who stand too close to Nimbus are doomed to perish
and when Nimbus flies over a city - a power-outage occurs. But because Nimbus
is constantly moving, this isn’t seen as abnormal.
- When it comes to vocalizations, Nimbus sounds close to a
blue-whale of sorts and they can harbour thunder-claps to their will. But when
they are angered or in pain, they emit a low-pitched thrum known as a ‘sky
quake.’
