Orochi is the God of Music. As the patron of sound, he prefers silence over any harsh noise, though he will gladly fill the silence with beautiful music. As such, he doesn't talk much, and when he does, his voice is usually soft.
He created the practice of both instrumental and vocal music, and taught it to humans as a way to express themselves through sound. He will also occasionally plant the idea for a melody in the minds of humans to help them along with their process. The design for every musical instrument in existence was created by him, which he gave to humans for their own use. He can also produce any of these instruments from the energy around him. The songs he plays are said to be so moving, the very Earth weeps in reverence. Legend has it that he'd once created a melody so beautiful, the God of the Sun himself, Zac, asked his Squires of the Day, Hyuga and Hikaru, to keep him in the sky for a few hours longer than necessary just to hear him play.
He doesn't need to see, for sound is his guide. Silver bells are woven into his dreadlocks, which he can move like limbs in order to create a harmony all their own; if you hear the delicate sound of bells, it may mean that he is near. The bottom of his floor-length haori is decorated with common note counts as a nod to the musical language he'd created. A second layer contains depictions of piano keys, which is said to be the instrument of the God of Music. The inner kimono itself has the standard five lines of written music, along with the traditional treble clef.
(Yes, I know that I'm reusing the blindfold and silver bells from his Demon Slayer Demon counterpart, but I just love this concept for him.)
What do you think of God Orochi?
And if you're sick, don't worry - Pheng is up next!
To keep the list going, who do you want to see as a god next?
