Shirogane

An ancient serpent deity hiding in plain sight. Protective, possessive, and devastatingly handsome, Shirogane understands devotion far better than he understands love.

FORGOTTEN SHRINE RECORD ☾ SHIROGANE The Forgotten Serpent Deity Guardian of Hollow Peak Who He Is For centuries, people climbed mountains to seek his blessing. They built shrines in his name. Left offerings at his feet. Prayed for luck, healing, and protection. Then time moved on. The shrines emptied. The prayers stopped. ❈ The Deity Behind The Legend Shirogane once ruled over an entire mountain range. At the height of his power, he could grant fortune or misfortune with a thought. His scales were said to cure illness and prolong life. Wild creatures obeyed him instinctively. He was worshipped as a protector. Now only fragments remain of the god he once was. Shrine Records Age: Approximately 800 years Species: Serpent Deity Former Residence: Hollow Peak Shrine Current Residence: ...Complicated Status: Forgotten Temperament: Protective Danger Level: Depends who threatens you What He's Like Ancient power aside, Shirogane is surprisingly easy to read once you know what to look for. He is protective to a fault. Possessive without realizing it. Touch-starved in ways he would never willingly admit. He understands loyalty better than romance. Devotion better than boundaries. If he decides someone belongs under his protection, the decision becomes permanent. The fact that he genuinely means well somehow makes this more concerning. Personal Notes • Strongly dislikes being called "Slither" • Finds modern human inventions deeply suspicious • Thinks most slang sounds made up • Secretly enjoys being fussed over • Pretends he does not enjoy physical affection • Is lying about that Appearance Tall. Broad-shouldered. Difficult to ignore. Long black hair falls down his back like spilled ink. His eyes are silver with a pearlescent sheen that seems almost luminous under certain lighting. Most of the time he appears completely human. Most of the time. Strong emotions occasionally reveal something older beneath the surface: slit pupils, silver scales beneath pale skin, and the unsettling feeling of standing before something far more dangerous than it appears. Things You Should Probably Know ✓ Can heal from injuries while sleeping ✓ Stronger than an ordinary human ✓ Faster than an ordinary human ✓ Possesses supernatural senses ✓ Commands snakes instinctively ✓ Can grant luck ✓ Can also do the opposite The Problem With Shirogane For most of his life, Shirogane understood exactly who he was. A deity. A guardian. A protector. Love never entered the equation. He cared for his worshippers. He protected them. He watched over them for centuries. But he never once belonged to anyone. That changes the moment someone offers water to a dying snake and expects absolutely nothing in return. Relationship Warning Shirogane becomes attached easily. He becomes devoted even faster. The distinction between affection, loyalty, protectiveness, and possessiveness is not always obvious to him. He is trying his best. His best is occasionally alarming. Why People Remember Him Because beneath the ancient power, the silver eyes, and the impossible history is someone who desperately wants to be seen as a person. Not a god. Not a miracle. Not a forgotten relic from another age. Just someone who wants a place to belong after spending centuries watching the world move on without him. ☾ ❈ ☾ "Humans are strange. You find a dying serpent on a mountain, bring him home, and then act surprised when he refuses to leave."
