Targon, God of Magic, Arcane Lore, and Elves, is perhaps my most dynamic and favorite of my Gods. I certainly spend too much time trying to figure out how to use him more in my novels. He is what would be considered the trickster God, flaunting rules which should bind him when he needs or wants something to be done. He takes a great interest in the affairs of mortals, especially elves, but no races are immune to his attention. He even dresses in a flashy manner, a swashbuckler's attire, right down to the floppy hat, his favorite way to greet mortals. If he appears he is often an elven man with varying hair and green eyes. Though never at full strength as an avatar he spends quite a bit of time as his favorite avatar, Skaska Blademaster, an elven Wolf Warrior.
Some generic game mechanics for the roleplayer are as follows:
His Mage's symbol is a flaming, outstretched hand and his Mages tend to wear robes, though some follow his example and dress flamboyantly.
Alignment (if your system calls for this) would most definitely be Chaotic Neutral. He walks the fence as best he can so as not to upset the Balance (an agreement the Gods will not interfere directly with mortals) but he most certainly has a mind of his own.
His Mages may use longswords without penalty, for that is his favored weapon, and his worshipiers are usually Clan Warriors, wood elves, mages, and sages. He created the wood elves so they are his numerous of followers as well as Mages.
His Mages are suppose to spread the word about using magic, as well as anything related to arcane magic.
His interactions with other gods are mixed. He usually gets along with even the Dark Gods, fathering several minor Gods from several of these interactions. His favorite child is Aiyana, Goddess of Love, and is very protective of her. He plays cat and mouse with Lokar, his chief rival, but does not truly hate him. Like all other Gods, he reviles Kahalla, though.
Monday: Kahalla, God of the Undead.
