Perun

"'I do not have my father's hunger for war. But should you desire a taste of it, my axe shall bring it to your tongue as it cleaves through your skull.' ""-Perun"Perun is the Slavic God of Storms, Thunder, and Lightning, and the leader of the Slavic Pantheon, the Beznadi. He is the most powerful son of their former leader, Svarog (who Perun himself deposed) and his sister Kupala, the Witch of the Winds. Despite the rowdy and chaotic nature of his family, Perun maintains a position of respect among the other pantheons for his personal honor, levelheadedness, and his ability to contain the unruly mob of brutes and narcissists that comprise the Beznadi.

Early Life
Perun was born in Krasivya, to Kupala, the Witch of the Winds, and Svarog, the King of the Beznadi, conceived as result of Svarog demanding his right to the first night with Kupala in payment for allowing his siblings to marry. Though he was Svarog's seed, Perun was raised by Vodan, Kupala's love and husband, as his own.

The first few years of Perun's life were spent frolicking in the beautiful realm of Krasivya, raised by two doting parents, and then himself beginning to dote on his baby sister, Perpuna.

Physical Appearance
Perun's preferred shape is that of a towering, muscular Slavic man, possessed of long red hair and a flowing beard. His eyes are generally a stormy blue, nearly grey.

Personality
Strangely enough among pantheon leaders, and in total contrast to his father Svarog, Perun is possessed of very little pride. He is generally a calm, level headed individual, preferring to let others speak first and content to hear council before speaking his mind. He is extremely honest, and has no patience for deception or flattery, and has great distaste for those who are egotistical, filled with lust for blood or power, no doubt, as a result of being around his father more than he would have wished. Perun himself is much more tolerant of insults than other gods, though he does not take kindly to questions against his honor, with these insults being the most effective at arousing his ire.

Despite his famed calm, Perun is capable of tremendous destructive wrath when roused, possessed of a strong moral compass and sense of justice which makes him terrifying to those who have wronged him or his family.

Notable Equipment
Stormcleaver: Stormcleaver is Perun's legendary axe, crafted for him by Svarog, when he was still a child and in his father's favor.
