Name: Kahtrak
Appearance: A minty-skinned humanoid in a loincloth and sandals. His hands bear only two fingers each, and the four toes upon his feet end in long talons. His hairless body is mostly covered in lean muscle, but his head seems fragile, with a very clearly defined skull and a stern expression. There are many rumours about what would happen if that expression ever changed. He generally aims to be the tallest figure in the room by about 20% when he appears to mortals. His appearance alters if a mortal race reaches the industrial age.
Primary Sphere: Practice/Learning. The process of improving one's body and mind through studying and doing, of deliberately working to increase one's capabilities.
Secondary Sphere 1: Predatory species. The mark of a predator is the complete devotion of its design to a single goal, the killing of prey. Their evolution is a constant push to remain ahead of that prey in all respects, or die. Kahtrak finds the results of this struggle, a sinuous and efficient creature, to be appealing on an aesthetic level.
Secondary Sphere 2: Refined metal. Metal which has been refined to a purer form by the hands of sentients or the intervention of physical laws. The alloys used by more advanced civilizations aren't ideal for this, but at least it's better than ore.
Additional Info: As a god, Kahtrak's defining desire is to inspire the pursuit of perfection, especially in mortals.
Kahtrak is generally known in civilized society as God of the Forge. When he chooses to develop ascetic monastaries within his religion, he is also sometimes titled God of Bliss or God of the Vibrating Chord. Very primitive hunting cultures have also sometimes called him The Patient Wait Before The Leap. If you asked him, he would probably call himself the Eternal Honer.
