Lore

Basic Lore:
At the beginning of time, there were four entities, two sets of siblings: Life, and Darkness, and Light and Death.

Over time, Darkness became bored with the giant, empty place they four dwelled in. So he created Space, vast and empty still, but something. Light joined in, and created stars and planets to inhibit this emptiness. Both of them were proud of this place they made together, and grew fond of each other over their creation.

On the contrary, Life and Death became lovers. They both agreed, and made a promise. Death would let Life create beings, creatures, and amazing things to live on these planets, as long as once their time came to an end, they would return to him. Lasting by his side until the end of time. Life agreed.

The first beings made were the subclasses of gods, beings touched by the four powerful entities that thus made them powerful. But not more powerful than them. These beings are now known as lesser, subclass, or demi gods. While they live for a long time, they do not live forever.

When Life created living things, those with cognitive thinking, were given personality's by Light and Darkness. Giving each a unique outlook on living, different choices, different forms of thinking and communicating, all sorts of things that we humans use to tell each other apart. Once lifeforms began populating themselves, these personality's were taken from their parents and how they lived their lives, rather than just being given such by the gods. They did however sometimes step in to create more interesting individuals on occasion. But Life wanted to keep things simply how they formed themself, she wanted creatures to live how they pleased.

Darkness and Light made a similar agreement as the other two once Life started creating things, the two agreed to create balance. Working together in perfect union to make sure no one of them had more say than the other. Darkness made Heaven and Hell for Life and Death to watch over, Life taking over from above to watch her creations live and thrive, and Death watching over hell for whenever a creature would pass on. Life could create things, but Death could not. He could only pick up the small pieces of what used to be alive, and put them back together in a way that made the body return, but not the soul.

Over time, once more and more people died, he was unable to keep up with the mass amounts of death around him. So he took to bringing some people back from the dead to do his bidding. Giving some of them new forms to do his work. Once of these beings, Grim, became his friend and right hand man. So Death trusted him enough to give him the same amount of power he had, so that Grim could help with the passing of creatures. This is how the line of Death gods was made.

Since she had taken back from creating to watch her lifeforms do as they pleased, Life decided that she needed someone as equally invested in her creations to watch over them closer. She created a being with the same strength she had, and the power to create life, with the cost of no longer being able to make it herself. This being, Tala, was put on earth to roam and do Life's work. Over several years, she often ran into Grim while he was doing his work. The two of them eventually became interested in each other. Since Death shared his power with Grim, and Life gave hers to Tala, the two were drawn to each other. Since then, almost every pair of Death and Life god's have been drawn to each other in some way.
