as for personality and appearance, i think it would be simple. not really being aggressive unless it felt threatened/attacked or hungry, being nice to those that repeatedly feed/do good for it, etc. this is by choice, as it can think better than a human but simply does not. or perhaps its blood afflicts it the same as it does mortals.
as for appearance, it's gotta have claws and fangs. that's a given. it's probably big, like maybe 1.5x the size of a bear? i'd personally give it the traits of a few beasts, like the jaw of a crocodillian, the build of a jackel, the legs of a cheeta, etc. etc. cat ears

also i think it'd be really funny to drop branj, my tarnished in elden ring, in forengard but 1) i've already indulged one fandom character here i'm not doing another, and 2) i'm not allowed to swear in threads and that'd be a driving force of the comedy of them being in not the lands between

but on the other hand they'd be so cool, slayer of the lord of all that is golden, conquerer of the starscourge, victor 'gainst the full moon queen, dumbass who falls off cliffsides. dragon-wrought tarnished. thief of the great runes. they have a sword as tall as her, and can wield it with ease, even one-handed. she's killed a star.
Offline
but also it'd be really hard to make her fit into forengard, on account of the fact that they aren't elden lord yet. they've felled three of the demigods and taken their great runes, but the demigods are about as powerful(if not more than if radahn's case) the gods in forengard, but also they wouldn't work as a god of anything other than maybe sacrifice and the undead? either way i'm not particularly vested in playing the character in forengard, at least not as much as i am considering the god of beasts and blood

speaking of, what would good names be...

a potential third domain for the deity of beasts and blood could be the hunt, as it's basically the conjoining of the two already confirmed domains.
another potential is a companion deity of beasts, bones, and the hunt. together they would represent predator and prey, blood and bone, and all manner of creatures
Offline
i think the duo would represent animals as a whole when paired together. the one of blood would be representive of predators; being big and strong and claws and teeth etc. etc. the one of bones would be the configuration of prey; observant, swift-footed, and still powerful.
Offline
while the blood beast might have horns, the one of bones would definitely have horns. horns are made of bones, and thus have to be included in the design. the god of blood might be scaled, it might be furred, but the one of bones is certainly chitinous, exoskeletons are cool and again the bones.
i think that while the predator's blood would grace you with strength, sight, claws, and teeth and cursing you with hunger and rage; the prey's shed horns bless cunning, speed, acute hearing, and traversal; along with disgracing you with paranoia and cowardice(or hubris). taken together, they might cancel each other out or they might corrupt faster.

for the hunter, perhaps its name could be Critchun? and the prey could be Flantel?
Offline
I'm really interested on what your take of a deity of the hunt is because that's one of Janus's things but they're pretty squarely focused on the actual hunt of game. They can all be weirdo creature buddies lol
Offline
well. critchun would probably be focused on the hunt as the hunter, whether for bargains, or for power, or for game, or anything else that could accurately be called a hunt. flantel would specifically be the object of a hunt, the coupon, or the deific bless, or the game to be shot and devoured. but because both are more than just the hunt, it does not control their games.
Offline
i think hunters would pray to both critchun for strong arms, and to flantel for foolish prey and swift eyes
Offline
i keep bringing up in what capacity they're worshipped in because it's important to remember something about gods. gods are worshipped because they effect the lives of the people, and they're prayed to when their gifts would be needed
Offline
for instance, ash is prayed to when one is dying, or when somebody wishes to help secure a good afterlife, since ash is functionally a god of after. he controls the flow of the dead, so they are prayed to so people can maybe convince him to change the flow enough to get the afterlife a dead person deserves. but if your life is filled with ends, either because of you causing them or you helping to house the dead, you will likely worship ash frequently because his domains constantly connect to your life
Offline
while dust refuses worship in forengard, to the residents of the worlds beyond shadow hell it is worshipped as an avenger and to free those still strung to the motions of those above. dust is prayed to to grant power, and to escape.
Offline
fun fact! the reason dust kills people worshipping it is because it doesn't like them. and they do it wrong, it doesn't want blood and hearts from them. the darkest devout is one of the few who worship it correctly. there are others, but they are not as consumed into its darkness as the devout
Offline
if i were to introduce my concept of the god of beasts and blood, critchun, to ggad i think i would simply pretend i never invent flantel unless somebody else wants to think up the rest of that character
Offline
imma start working on a form for critchun >: )

Turning it off would be incredibly uncultured, Ishmael in fact I forbid you from doing so
By the way, the solution is easy. Just turn your emoticon around. For example: (:

I was looking if you could disable it for individual accounts like Discord does but that's not the case. Why can't forum technology get with the times /s

fun fact! i have finished critchun's form i just need to polish off some sections, as well as message 1 more person regarding where it'll live because i realized i gave it a trait that would make them drawn to the clocktower and wanted to message the people with characters that live there to get permission/acknowledgement on the beastie

i just realized somethin. the darkest devout can heal, and often uses that. and dust is rather active in anatina. why didn't i intro her there
