Background

Perisha, along with Rengrown, was created by the Eldest to keep cycle of life and death going on Auria. At first Auria itself had no such cycle and people lived on forever but the Eldest noticed that it led to swift destruction of anything they made as their autonomous creations felt no pain, fear for their action and sense of coherence or cooperation. Perisha and Rengrown were one of many measurements to make the races of Auria be more appreciative of things they received and had next to them, including other living beings.

Once the living beings were reigned by their creators Perisha's goal was established, gather good creations that appreciate the others and everything around them while discouraging the ones that do the opposite. With such straightforward goal Perisha was left on his own to judge the souls of beings that died and lived on for time beyond measure. Being left with such task Perisha's ability to feel emotions was abysmal to not cloud his judgement.

However as time passed by and the creations of the Eldest have advanced, subconsciously gaining more knowledge with reincarnations, the Eldest didn't seem to appear. Something that was just a simple soul storage needed more work and Perisha, even if not ordered by her creators, felt like he had to do something more. With a work of hers and Rengrown they created a place similar to Auria when it came to rules of existence, providing the souls of good beings with entertainment and "second life" while they all awaited the Eldest. After creating the Afterworld Perisha and Rengrown resumed their work at full speed.

During that time Perisha created Malva out of good souls, that was meant to be his own personal entertainment and helper as he felt that his judgement could possibly slip over time and needed a god that would be beside him to judge and guide the souls. At first their relationship was cold and strict but over time Perisha felt a bond being formed between him and Malva, resulting in him referring to his creation as a daughter. Malva reciprocated these feelings by referring to Perisha as her father, letting the Arbiter of Souls to develop his own deep-seeded emotions that the Eldest infused her with.

To this day Perisha continues his never-ending work of judging the Souls while letting Malva go and develop her knowledge and feelings in Auria, as a god. He regularly calls upon his daughter to interact, whether it is to judge the souls or learn more about Auria and current situation of the living beings, wanting to know whether the work he and Rengrown put in is bringing its fruits.

Physical Appearance

Perisha at first had no form but over time subconsciously formed one to ease the souls he judged and guided. This also influenced the look of Malva, and therefore of Enrali, as they gained few traits similar to him. Perisha often wears a dark wooden mask that hides his face completely whenever bad souls are judged and only his sky-blue eyes are seen. However when a good soul gets judged they get to see much softer, snow-white face and long straight silver hair. However from neck down his body is covered in a smooth wool. The chest, arms and hands are human-like but from waist below he has a short stubby tail and dark hooves instead of feet.

Perisha does not wear any kind of clothing or jewelry, the only exception being mentioned mask.
