It's official - I'm focusing on the God AU for the foreseeable future, so keep coming at me with those recommendations!

For now, here's Yugo!

Yugo is the God of the Forest. As guardian of the woods, he is a very serious and protective god that won't hesitate to run his sword through offenders of his territory.

His job is to protect all of the leafy areas of the world. Forests are always under threat of logging and other forms of abuse from humans, so he's a very busy god. If people want to build in wooded areas, they have to pray to him for permission. If he accepts, they are free to continue; if he doesn't accept, or if they simply don't pray to him, he does everything in his power to push them out. It can come in multiple forms, such as saplings pushing through their floorboards, vines overtaking their gardens, and roots pushing against the walls of their buildings. He gets along very well with Free, the God of Woodland Animals, in this regard.

The bushes growing out of his head are real, and the leaves from them are said to create the most heavenly tea imaginable when properly steeped. He's also the creator of all plant species, including tree types; he can even control when trees change their colors for seasons, sometimes even keeping them green all year round if he feels like it. He created evergreen trees for the soul purpose of remaining lush throughout the year so he wouldn't have to keep an entire forest green. They say that the evergreens brought such joy to him, people turned to creating plastic trees for the holidays because he was fed up with them taking the trees for decoration.

But the real magic lies in his sword. Wherever he stabs it into the ground, whether in stone, dirt, or sand, entire forests spring to life. People often pray to him to ask for him to bring greenery to their home.

And who do you want to see as a god next?
