Personal information
Alias: Blink
AKA: The Fifth God
Age: 33 (TTG), 43(TTG2)
Gender: Female


Occupation: God of Envy

Amelia, better known by her alias, Blink, is the Fifth God of Tempest who rules over the Plane of Envy. She is known for being emotional and impulsive, and she tends to act without thinking things through. Due to her rash behavior and hands-free approach to godhood, her relationship with the other gods has been known to be strenuous at best.

Much of her character and actions are driven by the fact that she was born completely blind.

Appears in The Tenth God, The First Witch, and The Dishonesty of Human Eyes

Personality[edit | edit source]

Having been kept down throughout her life due to the circumstances of her birth, Blink developed an extremely combative personality. She has a deep-seated need to prove herself, and refuses to give up on any challenge until she's conquered it. She's far from straight-laced, being perfectly willing to bend the rules wherever it suits her.

Blink tends to be rather opinionated, and tied with her foul mouth this causes her to come off as standoffish more often than not.

Appearance[edit | edit source]

Short and flat with an almost childish physique and androgynous facial features, at first glance one might think Blink is an adolescent boy. She has medium skin with dark red freckles, especially prevalent on her cheeks and forearms. Her small round eyes are a soft caramel brown. And her dirty blonde hair is short and unkempt, adding heavily to her tomboyish appearance.

When not dressed for combat, she wears a golden ball gown that contrasts heavily with the rest of her appearance, though she makes up for it by remaining barefoot.

Often she can be seen pretending to play on an antique game system, though she never even bothers to turn it on.

Life[edit | edit source]

Blink lost hard when it came to the lottery of birth. If it wasn't bad enough to be born to extremely poor parents, she also came into the world completely blind. Most of her early life was spent performing odd jobs for pocket change. And although she proved herself capable and resourceful time and again, her status meant that any attempt to use that change for anything more than basic necessity would result in punishment from those more fortunate.

The one luxury she was afforded was a shoddy violin, although Blink saw it as a chore. Her father made her practice every day, and allowed her little freedom to do anything else. His hope was that one day her talent would earn her a better life.

Unfortunately, after his abrupt death, Blink was forced to find another path to a better life. Despite her stunted growth, she'd become very attractive, and one of her former tormentors, Sanders, had offered her mother a servant's position in his household so long as Blink served as his trophy. It was humiliating, but Blink was given little choice. Worst of all was the presence of Thomas Helbright, another of Blink's tormentors who continued to torment her in increasingly vile manners during this time of her life. It was his actions that eventually led her to flee from Envy, leaving her mother behind to an unknown fate.

Blink's life was not entirely made of misery, however. She had friends like Faerie Myriad, a slightly better-off resident of Envy who Blink often relied on for emotional support, and Hardball, who helped her find a home after she fled to Lust. It was the latter of these who introduced Blink to mech combat, and served as her sparring partner during her years in Lust. It was here that blink developed many of the strategies that would get her labeled as a cheater later in life. This was also around that time that Seeker ascended to become God of Lust, and this event spurred Blink to action, finally confirming that Lord wasn't a unique event.

With new information and new techniques under her belt, Blink returned to Envy where she quickly made a name for herself by accepting all challengers, especially those backed by the council. Soon enough Blink was viewed by many as a sort of folk hero, a poor blind girl cast out by the elitist council who had returned as a vengeful spirit hell bent on tearing down everything that council stood for. Winning match after match and growing more and more popular, it became inevitable that Blink would become the God of Envy. And once she had done so, she took her newfound power to the council, declaring herself Envy's new ruler and attacking the council members directly. She singled out Thomas and gouged out his eye as revenge for everything he had done to her, marking the final step in her triumph. After this, she established a new set of rules for Envy, rules which she believed would prevent anyone from suffering the same way she had.

Relationships[edit | edit source]

Sarah Argyle[edit | edit source]

Blink and Seeker are very close friends. Both have very harsh personalities and find it hard to open up to others, but the two have come to rely on one another for emotional support. Seeker seems to be the only one of the gods who truly understands Blink, and often stands alone in defending the Fifth God's actions.

While most of the other gods dislike Blink, she has an understanding of sorts with Bear, who often comes to her defense politically. The two often cooperate economically as well as working together to help deal with rogue science groups from time to time.
