Description another ref sheet i needed to upload, have some lore to go with this sad void dragon. now i only have 2 refs to go, one is a remake (though one of the gods CANT have a ref sheet because they're an ever shifting mass of emotions and thoughts)

Absence, God of the Void:

While space is the all reaching and all expansive makeup of the material world, the Void is the opposite. It is the place beyond time and space. It is an ever-reaching, ever-expansive place of pure nothing. It’s whiteness reaches for eternity, and the god that inhabits it is named Absence. Twin of Dimension, Absence is also a gigantic dragon. They are pure white, going along with the lack of colour within the Void. The Void can be a difficult concept to grasp for most, as it is just as large and expansive as the known universe, but it contains absolutely nothing. It is said to inhabit the space between universes, and acts as a gateway between the known universe and possible parallel ones. Very few have travelled to the Void, as it would require intense magic to open a portal to it. Though, once there, it is extremely possible that you would be able to travel to entirely different universes using the properties of the white expanse. 


Being the deity who embodies the expanse of nothing beyond the physical universe, Absence doesn’t have as many devoted followers as most gods, especially being outshadowed by their twin. Most who do worship them take part in the duality of them and their twin. However, Absence doesn’t exactly mind, and is one of the gods who is more likely to answer prayers, despite not actually intervening with mortal life. What few followers they have are devoted, and embrace the strange comfort and expanse of nothing bring. Many take joy in simply sitting and meditating for hours, and enjoy the simple things in life, while taking on an optimistic nihilism philosophy. They take pride in the concept of nothingness, and many around them see them as strange for that. They often wear simple clothing with plenty of white. 


Absence watches over the void with a somber tone. While they enjoy the peace that comes from guarding over an expanse that contains nothing at all, they sometimes watch over the other gods with rich and deep domains with longing. They love when travellers find their way to the Void. While they don’t intervene in the material world, if a traveller makes their way to the Void, they will happily show themselves and guide them to wherever their final destination is. They do not get bored from guarding the Void, as they exist for the sole purpose of it, though even for a god eons of pure nothing often can seem boring. As such, they love watching and observing mortals and the lives of their followers, despite the lack of intervention, and some say this close watch is why they follow Absence in particular, and that the ever present gaze of their deity is comforting in a way.
