Yahweh
YAHWEH is the GOD of Love, Vengeance, Penance, Guilt, and he
is the Guardian of Heaven. He is considered the Shepherd of his people. In the past he used to communicate with his devout
followers more or less directly. He would appear as a burning bush, or a great wise old white bearded man. He stopped visiting
directly and began sending angels and solars. He had one of his minions visit a human woman, a devout follower, and begot
his only son upon her. Yahwehs son, Jesus, spent a brief time on Gaia as a mortal.
Jesus was persecuted and betrayed, captured, crucified and slain. He ascended into Godhood and now functions as the Avatar
of Yahweh. Yahweh has delegated all of his duties to underlings. St Peter watches the gates of Heaven; Jesus watches over
the flock, he has priests and saints on Gaia to walk amongst the people, teach them his ways and to help them through life.
Followers of YAHWEH, actually pray directly to Jesus, and try to be like him. They have oral and written record of Jesus,
and the way he behaved. The followers call themselves Christians. They have a well established church organization, and a
large book with fables, history, and instructions on how to live, called The Bible.
Role-Playing notes: YAHWEH, and Jesus, almost never visits mortals, they sent angels to extremely devout followers,
who need aid. In normal circumstances the Christian church takes care of the peoples needs. The Church holds religious services
once a week; all of the followers in an area congregate in a church and listen to a service conducted in an old nearly forgotten
tongue.
