Victor and Valentino's gods are powerful supernatural beings. Essentially immortal, they embody ancestral natural and cultural forces and possess extraordinary magical abilities.
Description[]
The gods in Victor and Valentino are powerful supernatural entities drawn primarily from Mesoamerican mythologies, such as those of the Aztecs, Mayans, and Olmecs. These deities embody primordial forces of nature, death, time, or culture. Generally immortal, they possess unique magical or cosmic abilities and sometimes intervene in the mortal world, often with mysterious or ambivalent intentions. Although feared or revered, they are not always omnipotent and may be subject to human-like emotions or conflicts.
History[]
According to legend, the first gods were born from the division of Ometeotl, the primordial duality. From this separation emerged four fundamental deities:
- Tez (Tezcatlipoca), the black god, master of night, war, and discord;
- Sal (Quetzalcoatl), the white feathered serpent, god of wind, art, and rain;
- Huitzi (Huitzilopochtli), god of the sun and war;
- Xipe Totec, god of agriculture, fertility, and renewal.
Together they confronted the primordial monster Cipactli, defeated him, and used his body to create the world and the realm of the dead.
However, after the creation of the world, the gods vied for control and worship of mortals, causing the destruction and recreation of the universe five times, events known as the "Five Suns."
